.-iE KNEW A THING OR TWO
A Lesson Taught House Agent by Girl
ish Little Woman.

Lesson Taught House Agent by a Girl
ish Little Woman.
She hadn't said much, but the
agent thought he detected indica-
lions that she liked the fat ENpe-
rienced agents are quick to note and
realize the importance OF symptoms
that would escape another observer.
And in this case the agent was par
ticularly anxious to close the deal.
Something told him that the young
woman would be a desirable tenant,
and she was SO very young and girl
ish in appearance that it seemed a
pure waste of time to mention the
rule about children.
However, he did it. He brought
it in incidentally as a matter that
could not possibly interest her ex-
cept as it insured her greater free
dom from noise if she decided to
take the fiat.
81 thought likely you had that
rule about children" she said care
lessly in reply. In fact, l hardly
deemed it necessary to ask about it. y
It's such common thing to bar
children from fiat buildings, sup
pose, suggested the agent.
cob, that wasn't it." she ex.
planned. "There is difference in
the buildings, you know, and in the
course of time one gets so that one
can tell just from the appearance of
a fiat whether children are allowed
in the building or not
1.-THE flats in buildings where chill
dren are not permitted are in so
much better repair and look so much
better, the agent minated

girlish little woman pleasantly. II
have known of cases where one wo-
man in wrapper and carrying some
nails, hooks and a hammer has done
more damage to the hard wood fin
ishing of a flat in one afternoon than
six children could do in year; but,
of course, that has nothing to do
with the case. !"
"Of course not, - said the agent,
becoming a trifle bewildered.
1.-The thing that gives me the key
to the regulations concerning chill
dren is the general arrangement of
a fiat went on the little woman.
There are flats, you know, in which
one wouldn't dare to keep children
for fear of getting into trouble with
the Humane society,"
I'll suppose So
with advancing civilization the
law is beginning to keep a much
more watchful eye on the children.
A person who has reached the years
of discretion may take chances if he
OF she wishes to, but the health of a
child must not be jeopardized.
There positively must be room for
| the little one to turn round, and
there must be sufficient light and
air, as well as the best OF sanitation.
Oh, it is very simple matter to
pick out those flats from which chill
dren are barred by agents or owners
who are anxious to run no risk of
getting into trouble with the health
authorities = yes, indeed. And, of
course, it wasn't necessary to ask
you about it in this case-not at all.
Good day, sir. y
1t was the next day that he learn

a 6-year-old son and twin girls aged
8. 1t is never well to take anything
whatever for granted when there is

Jan. 15.-This afternoon Governor Taylor formally announced that he would be candidate for election to the United States senate by the legisla- ture, which meets in extra session next Monday. Taylor headquarters have been opened and the friends of the governor who approve of this step are hard at work tonight among incoming members of the legislature This announcement by the governor caused decided sensation. for he has repeatedly and publicly stated he was for and would work for the election of Senator Hurley, his appoiptee.
 There will be three candidates before the democratic caucus. Senator Hurley, Com gressman McMillin and Governor Taylor, and tonight the workers for each candidate are claiming the nomination.
 Some of Senator Turley's workers are very indignant over what they term the s.throw down" Governor Taylor has given them. as they claim he has, until this af- ternoon, insisted he was sincerely an ad- yocate of Senator Turley's election and that they did not believe he would Ego back on thefn." sss..z. :.

NO SIGNS OF AGITATION.
The Situation at Havana Thought to be The
 Same.

Washington, Jan. 15.-There were no signs of agitation over the situation in Havana at the state or navy departments today The last news that had been received from Consul-General Lee came in cablegram dated late last night and went to confirm the reports from other sources, namely, that all was quiet there and that the places of amusement were opened and being pat ronized.
 The navy department had news of the sailing from Key West for Navassa of the cruiser Marblehead. This was in pursuance of orders given more than week ago and corroborated the statement given out at the navy department to the effect that there had been no changes made in the orders to our warships on account of the Havana riots Otherwise it would scarcely be ex- pected that the Marblehead should be al- lowed to depart for port more remote from Havana than Is Key West. The Mar blehead is expected to be absent about a week. making the Investigation which has been ordered into the allegation that the laborers on Navassa islands have been in- humanely treated by their Superintendents. No notices came of the sailing of the North Atlantic squadron from Hampton Roads at 10 o'clock as planned. and 1t was at once assumed that the weather was thick and

EULOG|ES ON MR. M|LL|K|N Representatives Paid Tribute to
 His Memory ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL The House Devoted Two Hours to General De- blte on the Measure-Congressman Starr
 Denied Newspaper Article.
ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL

Washington, Jan. 15.-The house devoted two hours to general debate on the army appropriation bill and the remainder of the day to eulogizing the life and public ser vices of the late Representative Seth w. Miliken, of Maine, who served for four teen years in the lower branch of congress.
 Immediately after the reading of the journal, Representative Starr, (pop.) of Me- braska, rose to question of privilege to deny a publication in local paper stating that he had acted as attorney in the pen sion case of Jackson w. Cheney.
 As a representative, he said, he had in terested himself in the case, but he had never acted as pension attorney in his life.
 On motion of MT. Lanham, (dem) of Texas, bill was passed authorizing the president to appoint an additional district judge for the northern district of Texas. It was evident that Judge Rector, now the iudge of that district was utterly inca pacitated from performing the drti of his office.
 The house then went into committee of the whole and took up the consideration of the army appropriation bill The bill, Chairman Hull, of the military committee, explained, carried $23, ,185 990, which was $1,- 039 750 less than the estimates and ,746 in excess of the law for the current year. The increase in the pay of the army was due to the fact that the army was nearer it's maximum strength than heretofore. A new provision in the bill required the pay ment of troops by the paymaster in per son.
 The general debate on the bill was desul- tory, and was not confined to the subject matter dealt with by the bill. MT. Henry (dem.) of Texas took occasion to denounce Secretary Cages funding scheme.
 MT. Terry (dem.) of Arkansas made some remarks about the protective tariff, and MT. Gaines (dem.) of Tennessee some on the claims of the publishing house of the Methodist Episcopal church, south.
 At 2 o'clock the debate was suspended to give the members an opportunity to pay tribute to the memory of the late Repre- sentative Milliken of Maine. Speaker Reed occupied the chair during the delivery of the eulogies
 Those who spoke were Messrs. Burleigh (rep.) of Maine, who succeeded MT. Milli- ken; Dingley (rep.) of Maine, Boutelle rep.) of Maine, Dinsmore (dem) of Arkansas; Skinner (pop.) of North Carolina; Hicks (rep.) of Pennsylvania, and Little (dem) of Arkansas.
 At 3:25 D. m., as a further mark of re- spect, the house adjourned.

 to Stay Out on Monday.
REDUCTION MORE THAN ANNOUNCED

Boston, Jan. 15.-The operatives in over half a hundred cotton mills in New Eng land states ceased to be paid under the old schedule of prices when they left their work today. On Monday morning the gen. eral policy of the manufacturers to re- duce wages will be in effect in nearly ev- cry mill center in the six states. The re- duction will then become operative in the cotton mills of New Bedford, Lowell the Pawtucket and Blackstone valley in Rhode Island and in the states of Maine and New Hampshire.
 The Fall River mills, with the exception of three corporations, cut wages earlier in the month, as did also the Amoskeag com pany of Manchester and the mills in Salem and a number of smaller places.
 New Bedford continues to be the storm center. Indications tonight are that all the cotton mills in that city will be silent for some time to come, the employees having decided almost unanimously not to go to work under the lower wage scale. The attempts of the state board of arbitration to bring about compromise have failed, and there is little chance that the request of the city council of New Bedford that the reduction be postponed one week will have the desired effect.
 Will Be Supported
 The New Bedford mill hands will be SUD- ported by other centers. The operatives in the Biddeford Me, mills have voted to stay out Monday and it is possible several more strikes will occur in other p,aces A portion of the Queen City mill operatives at Burlington, Vt, are already out.
 Today notices of a ten per cent reduc- tion were posted at the Atlantic and Pa ciic corporations of Lawrence. dispatch from that city states that the other cotton mills there will undoubtedly follow. The Lawrence mills are the last to come into line They employ about 12,0oO hands,

NOT WELL SPOKEN OF.
Delegate Said to Have Been Highwayman
 Before the Present War,

New York, Jan. 15.-Tomas Estrada Palma, the Cuban delegate to America, was n7t in the city tonight. Dr. J. Cas- tillo, who is familiar with Cuban affairs, also could not be located. The Cubans at the various Cuban centers who were spoken to about the killing of Brig.-Gen. Perico Degado do not speak we'll of him. They claim that before the present war he was highwayman.
 Their opinion is that his followers wanted him to surrender to the Spaniards and that when he refused they killed him. His chief of staff, Louis Lopez Martin, then surrendered to save his neck. Their belief is that the rest of Delgado's followers, who are not so many, are likely to go over to the Spaniards also.
