SEPARATE BILLS
Mr.. Gage Will Not Embody His
Financial Views in One
Measure,
But Will Formulate Several For
the Consideration of
Congress.
Some to Go to the Ways and
Means Committee, Which Ex-
cites Comment.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lit was stated
in reliable quarters about the house Of
representatives that Secretary Gage had
made his purpose known not to en-.
body his financial views in one compre-
hensive bill but to cover special sub.
jects in number Of special bills, some
of which would 60 before the house
committee on banking and currency
and others before the committee on
ways and means. The banking and
currency committee had formally in.
vited the secretary to present q bill GOV.
ering al the phases of financial reform
suggested in his recent recommendation
to congress and the desire of members
of the committee was to treat the sub
ject as an entirety. For that reason
there was considerable comment when
il was stated that Mr.. Gage would di.
vide the subject into several bills. some
of which would go before the ways and
means committee.
Caused Lively Comment.
It was this last feature which oc'
casioned the lveliest comment, owing
to the sharp contest between the ways
and means committee and the banking
and currency committee to shape
legislation designed to bring about
currency reform. This feeling found
expression ON the floor of the house
on the second day Of the session and
after spirited exchange between Mr.
Dingley and Mr.. Walker, the chair
men Of the two committees
the matter was compromised
The Walker committee felt that il
had carried the day and at its initia
meeting on Wednesday the formal in
vitation was extended to Secretary
Gage to present = bill based on his rec
ommendations to congress-. Mr.. Hill
Of Conneoticat was designed by Chair
man Walker, to submit the request {.
the secretary. Asa result Of this inter
view it became generally understoo<
about the house that the secretar,
would not comply with the request fot
. general bill Of financial reform, bu
would draft several distinct bills.

1t is now many centuries since, nc
cording to Ovid, the young man Narcis-
sus was changed into daffodil because
of his pining away from seeing his love-
ly shadow i'll the water. But it can
hardly be from sympathy with the IN
fortunate youth that the flower has CON
tinued to be so popular during all these
long ages. Certain it is that it has as
high value today i'll the gardens Of
persons of taste us in the flower plot of
the humblcst cottager No garden is
considered to be quite complete without
its little patch of daffodils.
Of late years florists have given at
tention to raising varieties from them,
and the record of their many forms is a
feature of the catalogue of all sccdsmen.
Double ones formerly carried off tho
palm for popularity, but i'll recent times
the single variety is regarded as quite
as desirable. -Meehans Monthly.

Then guessed the truth.
1t meant pirates.
Some ten years, more or less, previous to

with the most villainous pirates who ever
scuttled a brig or sold tho crew into slavery.
