WAsHlNGTON, June 1.-The House
to-day passed the Senate bill to re-
move the political disabilities imposed
by the third section Of the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution. Con-
gressman Lacey, Of Iowa, in advo-
eating the bill, eloquently referred to
the magnificent spectacle presented to
the country by the Ex-Confederate
General, Wheeler, who is on leave Of
absence from the House, in the army
of reunited country, man whose
political disabilities were removed by
special Act Of Congress. He said
that tho political disabilities of all
Ex-Confederatcs should now be re-
moved.
Congressman Bailey. Of Texas, the
Democratic leader. declared that Gen.
Wheeler has n, leave of absence, and
ought not to be granted leave Of
absence to serve in the army. He
asserted that holding commission in
the army and seat in the House at
the same time cannot be regarded as
constitutional.
Congressman Mcmillan, of Tennes-
see, interrupted him with the state
ment Gen. Wheeler is loved by
every member of this House for
going to the front TO serve his country.
I would not object to granting leave
of absence to any man in this House
who might want to 60 and place his
body before the fire Of the enemy"
Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio, then de-
livered magnificent non-partisan,
patriotic speech, which electrified the
House. In part. he said: II know
that Gen. Wheeler went forth in the
spirit of unsullied and unalloyed
patriotism. Gen. Wheeler came into
the ways and means committee room
the day before he left and said he
only wanted to get few papers. He
said he had never franked single
document since his appointment and
you know there could not be any
higher evidence of Wheeler's sacri-
fce.'
Gen. Grcsvenor spoke feelingly of
the spectacle Of the united country
crying: "My country, my fe;y, North
and South. F" He said all the nations
Of the world are looking at our grand
reunion. II shall vote to wipe off
this law from our statutes, and am
grateful to Almighty God that I have
seen this day. So help me God / will
try to forget that there was any neces-
sity for such law. ''-PHiladezphio

: When the last account reache

When the last account reached
us, Miss Sallie West, the young lady
at West Springs who is persisting in
her refusal to eat, had reached the
BIRD day without breaking her resolu-
tion. Her friends have lost all hope
of her recovery, and she is rapidly weak
ening. of course, having been in bed for
some time. Several years ago New
York, man as an experiment, existed
40 days without eating, on wager,

tiakled to death atfirst, but it present

ly got out that the widder was guyin,
and then there was no goin to bed
before midnight A cnire of six was
finally got together and one Sunday it
was announced that they would do the
siDgin. Then the row grew into re-
bellion. Word was passed around and
80 many folks turned out fur church
that the pews wouldn't hold em.
When it got along to the singing we
all had our eyes on Deacon Spooner.
lie was there and he had his tuuin-
fork all ready Once in awhile he
would roll his eyes up to the ceiling
as if askin the Lord to forgive him
fur what he was about to do but at
the same time he was calm and deter
mined.
After awhile the preacher gave
out the hymn I'VE Shall Meet Be-
yond the River At the same time
everybody outside che qure turned to
I'm Going Home Tomorrow. AS
the quire started in the Deacon bang
ed his tunin-fork agin his pew and
opened his mouth, and two different
tunes was bein sung at once. Mebbc
you kin imagine what sort Of high
jinks performance that was. Every
singer in the quire screamed as loud
as he could, and everyone outside of it
used all the breath he had. Children
left at home that day flew under the
bed and went into fits when they
heard that noise. and over at South
Shore, four miles away, the preacher
stopped in his sermon as he got the
sound Of the racket and said to his
congregation:
Brothers and sisters, it seems that
they are playing baseball over at
Squan Creek on this holy day. Not
only that, bat the hull population has
probably turned out to mob and mur-
der the poor umpire
When the quire and the congrega-
tion had fniehed its hymn, both sides
sat down. The preacher was awfully
upsot, and the best he could do was to
preach a sermon about Is minutes
long. There ought to hev bin more
singin, but there wasn't. He was
about to close up with the Doxology,
but he looked up and saw that the
Widder Scott had her jaw sos, and he
looked down and saw Deacon Spooner,
with his tunin-fork all ready, and so
he calmly said:
May the Lord bless Squan Creek
and make it good fshin' season; ;
and now amen, and we'll go home"
The quire went all to pieces after
that day, and there was nobody left to
oppose congregational singing; but the
town had bin upset and could git over
it in day. Even to this date, which
is over FIVE years, if one of the quire-
folks asks one of the congregational
singers fur ahaw of terbaoker, he
meets with prompt refusal and is told
to go to grass on top Of that. M.

Not Successful.

1t is said that the joint committee
from the S. P. shops at Tucson who
waited upon the head officials of that
road in San Francisco recently with
view Of having Master Mechanic
Pratt's order to fremen modified, have
failed in their efforts and are return
ing home disguised. 1t is thought
that quite a number of the tiremen will
resign their positions, but no strike
will be ordered. In the opinion OF ex-
perieuced railroad men this order
Issued nv Master Mechanic Pratt,
which compells all firsmen to clean
any engine assigned TO them
with the right reserved by the
foreman of the shops to make the
hremen clean the engines twice the
came day, will not prove success. 1t
will create constant dissatisfaction
among the employees acd more es-
peclslly among the 6rerlen who have
an idea that they know when an engine
Is clean a. well as the foreman of the
shops 1t is absurd to think that a
msn employed on an engine could not
be competent judge OF its cleanli-
ness. A fireman as general rule,
takes great pride in keeping his en-
CINE clean without any compulsory or
ders being issued 10 that effect.
