no caucus. They also charge that he
has been an ex-senator since the Legis-
lature met yesterday. AS Senator Hanna
was appointed when Secretary Sherman
went into the cabinet, article 2, section
2, of the Statutes, is being quoted as
follows:
IF vacancies Tin the Senate) happen
by resignation, or otherwise, during the
recess of the Legislature of any State,
the executive thereof may make tenn
porary appointments until the next
meeting of the Legislature, which shall
then fill such vacancies"
While this talk about Ohio now haV-

Hanna men explain that they want
the same action now as was accorded
Senator Foraker two years ago. Fora

State convention in 1894 for Senator
and was elected without any caucus or
any Republican opposition in the Legis-

that the same courtesy and loyalty"

Senator Burke, of Cleveland, arrived
to-day from Chicago and completed the
full attendance of the Senators. Burke
voted with the Democrats, but took his
seat on the Republican side of the
chamber.
In the House all sorts of measures were
introduced against corporations. These
measures were regarded as thrusts at
Senator Hanna, whose affairs are of
varied interests.
While these measures were being
thrown in, a delegation of $50 from
Springfield, the home of Governor Bush

wearing Hanna badges and with ban

came out in another sharp card in which
the following appeared:

unruly pen a license which no other
gentleman has ever required of me; and
to his unprovoked and recklessly intem-

courtesy and fOrbearance which he seems

Republicans in the Maryland legisla-

was made to caucus for officers Of the
General Assembly which convenes to-
morrow Twelve of the eighteen members
from Baltimore city refused to take part
in the caucus and after waiting for an
hour beyond the appointed time, the
other Republicans met without them.
The recalcitrants are known ais NAL

that faction which recently dethroned
United States Senator Wellington fron
the leadership of the party in the State
and elected their candidates for mayor
of Baltimore in spite of the regular or

The house of lords cannot now profess

and does prevent vast changes being made
in the constitution by a snap vote or q
scratch majority. 1t does for the British
constitution what q written document,
unalterable except under certain special
conditions, does for other forms of govern.
ment But for it the whole of our laws
and liberties would lie at the mercy of any
man who could get control of the house Of
commons for "a hours. 1t considers all
legislation, and though in practice it SOL
dom ventures to make changes it is able
to insist on a reference to the country if it
holds that q great and farreaching revolu-
tion is being made without the electors
being really aware of what is happening.
In fact, it views the laws e up to it in
the light of this question, Fought this
law if not amended to be rejected until it
has been referred to the nation with the
demand, rs it your pleasure that this bill
shall become law?'"-London Spectator.

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
A Horse That Was Swallowed Alive

by a Hair From His Own Tail.
From Florida comes the following letter
from q veracious correspondent:
"Being an ex-soldier and having only
ID months to serve to acquire u title to a
quarter section of land, I went to Florida
In 1885 to put my plans into execution.
Not being posted as to the landmarks, I
had to hire a settler to locate the land for
me, and as wo had to go about eight miles
through woods over bad roads, with no
bridges, wo went horseback, and in cross
Ing o stream I noticed that my friends
horses tail caught in an old pine stump,
pulling q hair from tho tail and leaving
the hair fast to the stump.
A you know, q horsehair will turn to
q snake when in water, and l made up my
mind to watch that particular hair. So
after locating my land and getting a log
house built Itook my gun and started out
OH n hunt, and during my rambles l came
to tho stream that my friend and 1 had
crossed, and, sure enough, there was the
horsehair snake as big as my thumb and
over four feet long. AS he was fast to the
stump I let him alone and continued my
hunt, bagging some quail, q rabbit and
two squirrels, which gave me a good mess
Of fresh meat. As l was very busy for the
next three weeks 1 had no time to visit my
pet snake, SO you may judge of my sur.
prise when on my next visit to find the
snake as big as a stovcpipe and over 40
feet long. AS 1 was going to have q log
rolling tho next week I kept my secret SO
that we could have some fun after we
were through our days work. Igot every
thing ready and sent out my Invitations.
My friend that showed me tho land came
with tho rest of them and told mo that his
horse was lost or stolen. We all pitched in
and did n good days work and had a good
dinner. l told them my secret and we
went to the branch. You can imagine our
surprise when we found the snake as big
as q saw log, with a bulge in tho middle
as big as n sugar barrel.
Swell, to mako u long story short, we
killed tho snake and cut him open, and
my friends lost horse tumbled out. We
thought the horse was dead until he COM
menccd to move, and soon ran around all
right, and my friend rode him home. I
have heard q great deal about horsehair
snakes, and this is the only instance 1
know of where a horse was swallowed
alive by q hair from his own tail. BAL.

Spruce is not commonly accounted a

valuable. Spruce is largely used for tho
tops of stringed musical instruments, such
as guitars and mandolins, the finer grained
being the more desirable. The value of
rosewood depends upon it's color and quail
