Then began the farewell resolutions,
and the senate thought it was gone for
ever. when it was noticed that President
Williams grew suddenly pale and began
to search frantically through his desk
for something. 1t was a measure pro-
viding that the term Of Paterson's Super
intendent of the floor shout be three
years instead of one. AS he produced It
he was observed to brighten up. He left
the chair and had the bill rushed through.
The Superintendent is a personal friend
of his and he had promised him to do all
he could to pass The bill, but had for
gotten all about it in the rush.

being recorded the Assembly, led by the
Speaker, appeared at the door.

James Michael Is the champion long
distance bicyclist of the world.
He recommends all wheelmen to take
Paine's celery compound.
His experience is that of thousands of
others. With the opening of the bicycle
season many a young person and hun
dreds of older people who have determined
to take up bicycling as a heaith-gdving ex-
ercise find themselves really lacking the
proper SNAP or stamina to begin on.
their bodily condition prevents SO spirited
exercise. They would like to ride, but
they are out Of sorts, run down by a win
ter of work or indoor life. Many who are
really sick, who nave suffered from debil-
aty or wasting diseases for a long time
until they had begun to think their trout
bles had become chronic, as nothing gave
them relief, would turn to bicycling for re
lief. But this splendid exercise, like any
other, requires strength to undertake.
The blood is out of order, the nerves are
deranged, and natures food for both is
needed.
All such persons will find to their inn
mense JOY that Paine's celery compound
taken now, will make them well.
Pafne's celery compound works wonders

The Dingley bill passed the House of
Representatives yesterday by a strict
party vote of 2os to 122. A large number
of the EOS had protested vehemently
against the infamous rates embodied in
the bill; but party discipline as Re-
publicans politely call obedience to the
bosses, prevailed, and no Republican, who
vas present when the vote was taken,
dared vote against the measure.
It is expected that the bill will reach
the Senate about Monday, and then the
trouble will begin. The measure cannot

Academy of Music.

Sidney Grundy's great sex against sex
drama presented by a metropolitan
company, is delighting big audiences at
the Academy nightly. Lovers of good
plays should not absent themselves this
week is it is rarely so good a perform
ance is to be seen in this city.
1.-The Land of the LIVING Frank Har-
vey's successful melodrama, which was so
well received in New York City last sea-
son will be the attraction at the Acad-
envy of Music next week. The plot of
the play is good and simple, enlisting
the attention of the audience from the
beginning. The action is SO rapid that
the interest is not for a moment dimin-
ished.- The play tells the story of Ger
aid Arkwright, a young and prosperous
business man, who has as his partner an
unprincipled man, who hates Gerald be-
cause he, Reuben Tredgold, loved Kate,
the wife of Gerald. The occasion pre-
sents itself and Tredgold takes advan-
tage of circumstances to ruin his sue
cessful rival, both in business and repu-
tation. Two years elapse between the
first and second acts. Tredgold goes to
South Africa to escape the consequences
of his crime, n marries an ignorant
but good hearted girl. Gerald also seeks
the mines of Cape Colono in order to re-
trieve his fortune. He strikes a find of
person, but a crowd of rufianly miners
discover his secret and attempt to rob
him. Tredgold returns to his mountain
home, and there, fast asleep under a
shady tree, lies his mortal enemy. Meg
unwittingly discloses the secret of the
diamonds to her husband. Gerald is
stabbed and left for dead by his former
partner. Tredgold returns to England,
enriched by his robbery, while Gerald is
slowly nursed back to life. His brain
has received such a shock that reason is
dethroned, and Meg returns with him to
England, hoping to find some trace of his
family. Tredgold is about to marry
Kate, who thinks her husband dead, for
the villain FORCES what he claims to be
the death-bed confession of Gerald; this
false confession exonerates Tredgold and
places all past crimes upon the shoulders
of the supposed dying man. Gerald
meets T~redgold, when his reason comes
back, and Tredgold is exposed, Meg

Queen victoria,. pes.imi.m.

Queen Victoria Is said to be quite pessi-
mfstic of late concerning the future sta
bility Of the United States. This interest
ing news comes by cable from London and
it is probably expected in that large COM
munity that its receipt here will cause a
great shaking and Guaking. Queen Vic
toria is a most estimable old lady. whose
personal estate is about as secure as pos
sible from Entertainments, and whose DO
litical affairs are in unusually good shape.
She has many reasons to be well content
with her own lot, and to be dubious con-
corning the welfare and the future of other
less fortunate individuals and nations. She
attaches too much Importance perhaps to
the views Of the Canadian statesmen who
have recently poured their woes into her
ear. 1t Is to be remembered that the good
queen has just had jubilee to celebrate
the length Of her reign, and she must be
more or less impressed with the notion that
there is nothing stable but Britain. nothing
good but Britain. and none certain to sur
vive but the present British dynasty.
The queens International dyspepsia will
probably soon be cured by the fast-coming
reports of the prosperity of America, and
she may then regard the United States with
a more cheerful eye.

which every American wants to visit at
least once and then wants still more to
rereat his pleasant experience. The word
from Salt Lake that there is very little hope
there of securing the prize, which comes
by way of one of the leading daiIies of
that city. is nevertheless gratifying, as it
foreshadows still more clearly the decision
soon to be formally rendered. The only
hitch now in the course of events toward
the selection of Washington arises from
certain small differences between the pros
pective excursionists and the railroads re-
lating to the terms upon which the tickets
are to be issued. This will probably be
smoothly adjusted and next summer will
doubtless find thousands Of school teachers

their rights.
In the second place 1t would be against
the public interest to carry out such, a
plan even If it were possible to do SO. The
democratic party ought not to be reunited
except for some public good. A reunion
for no other purpose but to occupy the OFF,

for the country. Spells afford no adequate
reason for the existence of a party, and

party control
Mr.. Sherley is wrong Silence is not the
remedy for the woes Of the democracy. a
great party cannot afford either evasions
or concealmelts- 1t should have a definite
policy and should proclaim it. Compro-

promises. to be effective, must grow out of
a public discussion of differences. As long
therefore as the silver issue remains para

Britafn's Spoiled Child.

Great Britain has declined to enter into
discussion of the fur seal question with
Inc United States because Russia and ia
pan. whose interests are similar to those
OF TINS country. have been invited to partici-
Fate in the conference. This action is due
to the fears expressed by Canada lest her
interests nights be jeopardized in the con-
ference by union of the votes of Russia
Japan and the United States against that
OF Great Britain. Technically, Great Brit
ain has the right thus to act at the sueees-
ton of its colony, but it is unfortunate
that the pressure from the dominion gov
eminent was sufficient to cause Lord Sails
pury 10 TALL back upon his literal rights in
the case A conference of the kind pro-
posed would nave no binding force upon
the participants in it. and the refusal to
participate after the long silence which has
seemed to give consent assumes the appear-
anee CT an unnecessary rudeness to Russia
ana Japan Public sentiment here is now
wrought up to high degree of impatience
with England for her course in aiding Can
ada to exterminate the seals, and there is
cause for deep regret at this latest turn of
the wheel. which has shown Canada to the
world in uncompromising attitude of
supreme selfishness. The government at
London cannot hide behind the skirts of
Canada, however, in this predicament, for
1t was expected that the dominion govern
ment would interpose various objections to
any proposition looking to a regulation of
the seal hunting on the basis of the preser-
Walton OF the herds by combining the hunt
els TO limited season and to the employ
ment of specified means Of capture Thus
there has been no surprise that Canada
should suggest the out-voting of Great
Britain as an excuse for breaking up the
conference But it is matter both of
surprise and regret that Great Britain has
seen fit TO yield to Canada. Canada.s atti-
tude In the affair is that of a badly spoiled
child. enjoying the indulgence of a fond
parent who is not anxious for a disciplin-
airy conflict.
