A Restraining influence for the Future

The U. s. grand jury at Santa Fe
concluded its session without finding
any bribery indictments against men,
bers Of previous legislatures. While
nothing was actually ''treed," the jury
evidently found a very warm trail. The
report states memory OF witnesses

freshed," and sit seems to be regarded
as necessary to have lobbyists we'll sup
piled with funds to secure or defeat leg

the session of the U. 8. District court
for Santa Fe be held ut or about the
close of the legislative session. Thus
the jury sadly spreads q mantle over the
past and extends q restraining influence
to the future.-La Bell Cresset.

Local or Special Laws in the Terri
tories.

Mr.. Knox, from the committee Oh
territories, submitted the following re-
port, to accompany HI. R. 5000:
Your committee, to whom was referred
the bill CHI. R. 1853 to amend San act
to prohibit the passage OF local or spe'
cial laws in the territories" beg leave to
submit the following report:
Your committee recommends that the
substitute herewith for said bill be
passed by the house, and in regard
thereto beg leave to submit the follow
ing report:
1t has been made to appear to the
committee that certain cities and towns
in the territories of the United States
are unable, by reason Of the limitations
of the act which this bill amends, tG
provide for themselves, without this
action by congress, sewerage or water
works.
Several of the towns are in great neet
of proper waterworks, not only for sew
erage purposes, but for the protection
of houses from fire; that the rate of in
surance, on account OF the scarcity o
water, is an enormous burden. Int
reduction of insurance rates will mor'
than compensate the owners OF prop
erty in these cities from the tax whfcl
they may voluntarily impose upon them
selves.
No tax, under the operation of thi
bill. can be imposed except by a vote o
two-thirds of the property owners vot
ing at any election held in the city o
municipal corporations, and the com
mittee believes that with this provision
10 %extravagance can possibly occur il
the issuance of bonds. Waterworks ant
sewerage are absolutely indispensable
to the health and comfort of many o
these cities. The health and propert.
of the citizens is in constant jeopardy
They have nc means of protecting them
selves in this regard except by the pas
sage of this bill.
Your committee, therefore, unan
mously recommends favorable action o
the substitute herewith reported.

Pretty and Appropriate Costumes to Be
Made at Little Cost.
1t is not necessary to be extravagant In
buying an evening gown for a young girl.
Indeed OF oil costumes a ball gown is east
est to prepare at small cost, as becoming
ness and a good general effect are Its chief
requisites, and provided it is fresh and ap-
proprjately made the fabric Of which it Is
composed and the quality Of its trimmings
are of little Importance. Moreover, it is to
be worn only at night, when artificial
light and constant movement prevent
small deficiencies from being noticed. A
calling costume or street gown, on Tho
contrary, which is exposed to the sober
reality Of daylight and cannot be given a
fictitious value by short sleeves, a low cut
bodice and a delicate tint, makes a greater
demand upon the purse and requires more
pains In its preparation.
Very thin wooden goods with dots OF
flowers In silk or mohair make pretty ball
gowns when something inexpensive is de-
sired. Fine, light cashmere, thin wooden
crepon and yelling are also suitable. Thu

to be late at breakfast and, as became
one in her exalted position, she made an
offensc Of this kind on Meg's part an af-
fair of great Importance.
Not that Meg in all the years she had
worked for Weaver L. Co. had been late
to breakfast more than three or four
times, but the landlady never quite forgot
that Meg had at one time been her will
ing slave and any derelction on her part
which was savored of independence was
not a. thing TO lightly pass over.
On the morning in question. the land
lady. much to Mcg's surprise, greeted her
In an affable manner and her grim mouth
auivered with something which might,
under favorable conditions, have been
mistaken for a smile. but which had had
so little practice that it merely succeed
ed in being a grimace. as she told her to
take her seat at the table and then pro-
ceeded to introduce her to n new boarder
who had just paid a months board in adj
vance.
Meg acknowledged the introduction. and
after the landlady had gone ont ventured
TO look at her vis-a-vis. and discovered
that he was a tall young man with Il
bronzed complexion and pair of brown
eyes WHICH ulct ht.S llsthAiN.
cd to look right down into her foolishly
beating heart, and after the tough steak
had been served and he had gallantly fill
ed glass of water for her Meg made up
her mind that he was different from those
whom she constantly met beneath that
roof. and was undeniably nice"
The young man, whose name was At
wood-"Mr. Thomas Atwood" as he was
called by the landlady--was disposed to
talk as he went on eating his breakfast,
and as Meg was the only one ut the
breakfast table he naturally talked to her.
and she soon learned that he was head
brakeman on one of the trains which roll
ed ont of the city on the iron rails be-
longing TO a great railway line. and that
his home was in an Eastern city. She
told him that she also belonged TO the
toiling masses, and before breakfast was
finished they became very well acquaint-
ed. and Meg, as she pinned her veil down
close over her plain little hat. thought
Mr.. Atwood the very incest gentleman
whom she had ever met.
And so Meg's love story began, and as
the time flew away it was apparent tc
everybody that she was growing ahso
lutely prctty-happiness having muci
power in this direction-and that the time
was approaching when the honest young
brakeman and herself would cease TO be
lovers and become husband and wife.

n n EG was only one of the 'hands"
MI in the great factory of Weaver
L 4 Co., and with about the same
regularity as the machinery she perform
ed her daily tasks.
Nobody in the factory had ever given
her so much as sympathetic glance: the
whirr of wheels. the grind of machinery.
the everlasting hum of moving belts and
singing of spindlcs do not encourage SYM
pathy. and besides Meg was quiet. even
timid. and her companions. after the first
day of now and then half curious half
critical inspection, paid no attention to
her.
And yet Meg's trouble" had been a
romance; sort of a flower which blooms
sometimes along the hedgerows with the
same beauty and sweetness as in the con-
servatory.
Born was all Meg knew about her orig
In: brought up. at first in charitable in
stitution. later as the chore girl in a
boarding house. which always smelled of
dirt and rancidity: and still later as a
boarder at the same place, because it was
more like home to her after her long, hard
days work at the factory, where she had
secured employment at the age of 15.
Meg's life had been an uneventful one.
Meg was ignorant. her schooling" hav-
Ing been encompassed by n six months
course at n grammar school in the neigh
borhood. and for which educational au-
vantage she had toiled for the mistress
of the boarding house until her health
threatened to give way under the strain
But since somebody. back in the past
OF Meg's unknown ancestry, had sent a
drop of ambitious blood flowing through
her veins. within the six months she had
learned TO read easy words, both in print
and writing, and she was proud of the
fact.
She did glory in her power to read and
spell out the meaning of such cheap books
as came i'll her way. and once. having
watched postman deliver letter across
the street. she was seized with wish
that was somewhat akin to pain to re-
ceive letter from somebody-just to see
II she could frame an answer
She had never received a letter and
thinking it over from this standpoint,
Meg felt that she was very lonely and she
vaguely wondered how it all came about
that nobody in all the thousands which
made up the big city-the big city was
Megs world-had cared whether she liv-
ed or died.
Once sweet little girl, who was walk
Ing with her nurse, had looked I'D into
her face and with that freefasonry which
knows nothing of rules and which has in
II the element, nay, the very essence of
fraternity, had pressed tiny cluster of
violets into her hand.
And so the DAYS went on, today. as YES.
terday, tomorrow as to-day, until one
morning Meg oversight herself. by some
method of calculation which did not con-

breakfast late. The landlady was usu-
ally pleasant when a boarder happened

Love Lottery Day.

One of the most charming and at the
same time plausible versions of the rela-
tion of the modern valentine idea to that
devoted Christian martyr, st. Valentine,
is the. following:
The early Christian fathers. in their at
tempts to conciliate their pagan compat-
riots, with most commendab BILE tact and
insight utilized many of the popular forms
of NEUROLOGICAL celebrations to commemo-
rate Christian events.
One of the festivals, dear to the heart
of every Roman, was the feast of Luper-
Gala. when they did honor to their gods
Pan and Juno, not only with the BAN

bachelors drew out these slips and the la

were henceforth installed as their mis-
tresses for twelve months to command

festival usually occurred in February.

Christians to commemorate the birth

favorite with the people of the county is
evidenced by the fact that the city bears
his name His stories are yet repeated

officials at that time, and his legal ser

When the Chicago and Alton Railroad
