LEWIS sSUFFED oUT.
Declared Out Of Order by Reed. Who
IL Sustained ON Appeal.

WASHINGTON. May .1.--There was an
attempt to bring forward the Cuban ques-
ton in the house at today's session as the
journal was read. Lewis of Washington
shouted. "A question of privilege" and
sent to the clerk $ desk resolution for the
recognition OF the helligerency Of Cuba.
THE gentleman should state his ques-
tion." Dingiey interposc6.
This Lewis began to do. saying that the
senate had recently passed such resolu-
ton and tina, the house should take il up.
Dingley made the point that this was not
a privileged question. but Speaker Reed
said nothing. and Lewis proceeded with a
parliamentary argument. He eontended
that any question dealing with the foreign
relations of the government was one Of the
highest privilege In support OF this po-
sition Lewis quoted Fox in the British par
lament. Henry Clay in iSe2 on the question
of recognition OF the Spanish republic. and
a resolution relating 10 Hawaii which
DIngley had attempted TO call UP in the
second session of the Fifty-third congress
and again which McCrcary o. Kentucky
had attempted to make a point Of order.
II had then been reported, he said. that
the present speaker said question of for
eign relations was always a privileged
question.
The speaker permitted the resolution to
be read. II follows:
Whereas. The United States senate as
sembled has duly. by proper form Of
traiity. according TO the island of Cuba
all rights as belligerent against Spain;
and.
.sWhereas. IT is asserted that such right
OF recognition exists only with the exec
utive of the United States; therefore, be IL
Resolved. by the house Of representa-
tives. That a foreign policy Of the
United States it is the right and authority
of the senate and house OF representatives
IN adopting foreign policy OF the United
States 10 recognize. as congress. the bel
ligerency ana declare the attitude OF
neutrality of the United States to the ISL
and OF Cuba or any other government or
country. when in the sense of the house
such course is demanded by existing con-
dtions."
The resolution having been read, Speak
er Reed promptly declared II out OF or
der Such a resolution can be introduced
in the regular course ana referred 10
committee he said.
Does the speaker hold that the reso
luton should be referred to some commit
tee that is 10 be yet appointedg" Lewis
inquired.
Certainly" replied Mr. Reed tersely.
From this ruling Lewis appealed. and
Diugley's motion tn table the appeal was
carried. el 10 81. Cooper of Wisconsin.

he has to tend to the housekeeping him
self. The two assistants have their
wives with them and their youngest
children.
The drawbacks to lighthouse keeping
and life by women are many. Needles
and pins rust away. Needles will lose
their points in a few days unless care
fully looked after. The edges of carv-
ing knives rust away in less than "a
hours sometimes, and all tin and steel
articles are affected. Everything molds
and rusts.
All lighthouses have a library, which
is replenished now and then, and many
a weary hour is beguiled by reading
books or ma gazines and periodicals.
The lighthouse at Santa Barbara,
Cal, is tended by n woman. Her name
is Mrs. Julia Williams. Besides keep
ing the light burning she manages to
have garden on the patch of ground
surrounding the tower where scarlet
geraniums and fragrant roses perfume
the air.
Mrs. Williams was born in Maine, and
she is over so years old. The greater
portion of her life has been spent in
California, though, and she loves that
CLINE dearly.

how bright it will be on stormy night
when the clouds almost seem to be rest

Then, again, at midnight always I
come up to see that all is well. 1t
is then that l love best to stand and
watch the sea. When it is calm and
peaceful under the light of the moon OF
just the stars, the silence and majesty
of it are inspiring. And, when a storm

the Laguinita rancho of 400 acres. she
thought she would sell it at an advance,
but later concluded to plant it to fruit
trees and make a future for her son
there Four years later she bought a
tract of 1000 acres nearer Vacaville and
put into it the $40, 000 that remained aft
er buying her first ranch. To pay for
the rest she contracted a debt that
would have made many man tremble.
The first thing she did was to lose
heart Then she resolved to work her
way out of a bad bargain. Everything
cleared away beautifully before her.
In seven years she has sold half the
land. the debt is all gone, and she has
about her a delightful colony of young,
enthusiastic fruit raisers. They are all
young men and women. mostly from
England and Holland. One New York
city girl owns AZ acres of her own,
planted to trees, and manages so acres
in addition for relatives as well as any
man in the country could do it.
Once when a guest at a tea in Wash
ington she overheard the chitchat of
two girls in their teens. That's Mrs.
Buckingham of California said one,
land they say she plows more land
than any woman in the world" The
other girl carefully surveyed Mrs.
Buckingham handsome rustling gown
before she replied, "She doesn't look it,
does she?''
In fact, Mrs. Buckingham does not
plow her acres herself, but for nine
years she was the overseer of her own
ranch, never having employed man
in that capacity.

SOCIETY GIRLS WHO
ARE MAKING MUSCLE,

During the coming summer the society
girl intends to be abreast of her broth
ers in all matters relating to sport.
Formerly she was content when she
went out on the links with her golf
sticks or on the tennis court with her
racket to play well enough for a girl. >"
But that is all changed. She wants
to stand on her real merits and be on a
par with the other sex.
The athletic girls determined months
ago to do some training on their own
account, so that when golfng, bicy
cling, tennis and rowing started in ear
nest they would have the necessary
muscle and strength and steady eye.
There is no exercise which more thor
oughly develops the muscles Of the body
than fencing. In Germany where the
women fence as much as they ride BIZ
cycles over here, feminine strength and
health and grace are generally enjoyed,
although with us they are not to be
found as often as is desired.
If young woman is not too far adj
.vanced upon the list of society's dew
otees, she may enjoy the privilege of
exercising with the foils in the public
fencing academy. If she be a little
more exclusive. she can HE herself to
the private academy. To be real up to
date society girl, however, she must
forswear the academy and take her les
sons at home. This is the absolute de-
cree of the supreme court, from which
there is no appeal.
Instead of arraying herself in fine
linen and often uncomfortable purple
and undergoing for two hours a sort of
social M T.fIy In E
an afternoon tea, the girl of the period
who is quite correct receives a half
dozen of her friends in her fencing
room, and there many a pie SAINT half
hour is spent in discussing and dem
onstrating the latest forms of fence,
guard, parry and attack
The foil is the ideal weapon for wo-
men. In their soft hands the light
polygonal steel bar. with a soft button
at the end, offers no dangers to either
of the combatants. To excel in fencing
does not depend so much on mere phys
zeal strength as on dextelity of move
nent and quickness of the eye. Woman
is naturally quick to discern charac-
ter and intention, and when she has
once controlled herself and engaged in
a hand to hand conflict with the foils
she is said to develop marvellous per
ceptiVe powers. t-sh. a--- -.
The most exclusive of all the swell
New York fencing clubs is the Berke-
ley, whose membership comprises some
Of the youngeraset of the very SWEETEST
social circle in the metropolis.
The fencing costume at the Berkeley
club is uniform and consists of skirt
reaching to the knees, blouse and trou-
serets of pongees The skirt has a deep
hem finished with a feather stitching
of scarlet silk. The fencing girl girds
her trim waist with a smart belt of red

BRAVE WOMEN IN
OUR LIGHTHOUSES,

If life in a lighthouse is so monoto-
nous to men that it sometimes drives
them mad, what must it be to the hun
dreds of wives and daughters who spend
their years in the lighthouses along the
ocean and lake coasts of this country?
Not all the lighthouse keepers are able
to have their wives with them. In light
ships or in lighthouses not on shore the
presence of wives and families is for
hidden by the lighthouse board regu-
lations, and in such cases the married
men have a home for their families at
the nearest available point on the main
land

There are some interesting novelties
among the spring fashions for women.
First of these novelties is a new tailor
made dress which has a long habit
basque and a plain hanging skirt of
blue faced cloth, with white cloth facing
the lapels and gauntlet cuffs, these be-
ing effectively trimmed with a blue and
gold cord braid, as is the Waistcoat,
with its tiny buttons.
There is a new bodice, too, which COM
mends itself highly for afternoon wear
or would even make a good dinner bod
ice for informal occasions. The bodice
itself is made shirt fashion and of sap
phire blue silk, the turnover collar and
center plat being edged by a narrow
Valencienne3 lace. The folded band and
sleeves are also of silk. The short bolero
is of sapphire velvet, the reVers and
lining to the headings to sleeves being
also of silk.
Parisiennes this spring are sporting
some particularly handsome specimens
of the sack jacket and an example re-
Gently from the gay city is described as
follows: The coat is in piece with the
skirt, both being of purple cloth. The
coat is cut to allow of an underfront
fastening invisibly on the left side. This
is Of white velvet, embroidered with
purple braid, the tabs and cuffs being
of the same, and the fur edging is mar
row black sable.
Bright and gay with "the flowers that
bloom in the spring, ira la" the radi-
ant new hats and bOnnets make the
