SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
A Great Crowd Present to Hear
Senator Thurston's Address

WASHINGTON, March 24.-An hour
and a half before the Senate convened
to-day the galleries were crowded with
people anxious to hear the promised
discussion Of the Cuban question. Hun
dreds of people surged through the up
per corridors, eagerly but vainly ap-
pealing to the doorkeepers for admis-
sion.
The crowd had been attracted by the
announcement that Thurston of Ne
braska was to address the Senate upon
the Cuban matter, basing his utter
ances upon his recent trip to the ISL
and, a trip that had brought to him
the deepest bereavement that can come
TO a man. It was expected that the
address would be a notable oratorial
effort as we'll as a thorough discussion
Of the political phases of the pending
controversy. In the diplomatic gallery
were Senior Mendonca, the Brazilian
Minister, accompanied by party, and
several ladies and gentlemen from other
legations. On the floor the Senators
were early in their seats, and here
and there about the chamber was a
member Of the House of Representa-
tives.
ROUTINE BUSINESS.
A bill was passed amending Section
1892 of the Revised Statutes relating
TO barges. The bill provides for life
saving appliances and hull inspection
of all vessels in tow and carrying pas
sengers.
Allison Of Iowa moved that when the
Senate adjourned to-day it be to meet
Monday next The motion prevailed,
Mason Of Illinois emphatically voting
in the negative.
Much confusion existed in the CALLER
les and the Vice President was obliged
to demand that order be restored.
Cockrell of Missouri expressed the
hope that the Vice President would
strictly enforce the rule prohibiting any
demonstration or manifestation of APP
proval by people in the galleries.
Mason of Illinois then moved that the
vote by which the Senate had agreed
to adjourn until Monday be reconsid-
cred
Hale of Maine demanded the years
and nays, and the motion was defeat
ed-52 to 9. Those voting in the neg
ative We're Cannon. Chandler, Foraker,
Frye, Gallinger, Harris, Mason, Mills
and Pettigrew.
THURSTON'S ADDRESS.
At 12:35 .. m, the routine morning
business having been completed, Thurs

his speech on the Cuban situation. His
first sentence, containing a delicate and
touching reference to his recent terri
BILE bereavement, commanded instant
attention

The Office Boys Lament.

I do not appear to be appreciated at
anywhere near my real value in this
place.
Instead Of making my work easy and
pleasant as they ought to do the men
seem to be entirely engrossed in their
own affairs and to have no thought or
care about mine
1 find it impossible to get any of them
to converse with me. although I en-
deavor to show them that I am in
clined to be affable and that 1 am will
ing to talk with them on any subject.
When they are talking among them
selves they act as though they were of
Tended if I enter into their converse
ton.
1t is evident that they regard them
selves on a different and higher level
than the one 1 occupy, whereas / never
entertain feelings of similar nature
in regard to them. On the contrary.
am always willing to meet them on
a perfect equality.
They never introduce their visitors to
me, which is unfortunate, for I feel
sure their visitors would enjoy my ac-
quaintance.
They have way of ordering me
about which is exceedingly annoying.
can truly say that I never tell them
what to do, although it is impossible
for me to approve Of their way of do
ing things
1t seems particularly hard that I am
not permitted to whistle in peace. or to
drum on my desk, when am so fond
of quieting my sorrows by some kind
of noise
/ have been here a whole week. and
not one of them has asked me out to
lunch or extended any of those courte-
sizes which one gentleman is supposed
to extend to another.
/ had always supposed that men We're
all the time looking about for ways In
which they could help a beginner along
in life; but these men are quite differ
ent from the men I have read about
in books.
After | have swept out nice and clean
they don't try to keep the office clean.
They seem to be determined to get it
dirty as soon as possible, so that I shall
have to go to sweeping again.
How long would they go on, I won
der with their work, if I should be all
the time endeavoring to undo what
they have done?
They seem to think that the Office boy

his work is of no consequence
They don't understand me at all, and
they never give me any credit for any
thing. If they do think of me ocea-
sionally, it is TO impute unworthy mo-
tives to me.
How do they know that, when | fail
to fill their inkstands, it is not in thu
interest of economy? that l wish to
save ink and to remind them contin-
ually of the evil of extravaganza?
The only wonder is that 1 don't Quit.

Leather Coats.

Leather coats are made of sheepskin,
of horse hide and of dogskin, lined with
corduroy, with flannel and with sheep S
wool. The corduroy lined coats are
made reversible, SO that they may be
worn either side out. The coats of
sheepskin are usually finished black,
the horse hide and dogskin coats russell
colored. A leather coat of sheepskin,
corduroy lined, costs about So, horse
hide coats sell Tor $l2 to $15 and dog
skin coats for SIS.
Leather coats are worn in the west
by truckmen and policemen and hunt
ers and lumbermen. The leather coat is
serviceable and warm, without great
bulk. The duck shooter lying perhaps
for hours in battery, waiting, keeps
warm i'll leather coat. The sportsman
after big game wears leather coat. 1t
keeps the wearer warm without imped-
ing his movements.
A leather coat is sometimes worn IN
der another coat for the sake of its
warmth, as, perhaps by policeman.
And the leather coat may be worn with
the corduroy side out, so that more
leather coats are worn here in cities
than might be supposed. New York

The Whipping Post.

A whipping post for the correction of
bad boys has been set up i'll Evansville,
Ind. The judge Of the local police court
is responsible for the innovation. He
was puzzled what to do with boys in
different to parental control and hest
tated to inflict the penalty of fine.
which was really a punishment on the
parent. He discovered that an old stat
ute permitting the f1ogging of lawbreak-
ers had not been repealed, and at once
set up the whipping post. Now when
a boy is found guilty of misdemeanor
his father is sent for and given his
choice of paying fine, seeing his boy
go to Jail or giving him a sound fog
ging with strap in the presence of an
officer whose duty it is to see that there
is no sham about the punishment. There
is seldom need of the mentors interfer
ence, the angry parent welding the
strap to good purpose. The Humane So
ciety felt impelled to interfere, but the
judge stood upon the law, and there
has been marked decrease in the num-
Der of boys brought before the court. -

A HORN WITH A HISTORY.
For Years It Sounded Warning to Mary
land Mountain Moonshiners.

For Years IL Sounded a Warning to Mary
land Mountain Moonshiners.
There is an old battered tin horn in
the possession of an ancient colored man
at Dalton, Ca, around which are asso-
ciated memories of many deeds of vio-
leuye.
In antebellum days the horn was the
property of Colonel Ben Longbridge, a
wealthy planter of Murray county. 1t
was originally used to summon his
many slaves to work and to meals, and
it's welcome note at sunset was the sig.
nal for them to rest from the days la
bors.
After the war the horn became sepa-
rated from the Longbridge family, and
from that time until few months ago
was the period of its stirring history.
Murray county has for y ears been a
stronghold of the "moonshiners. ~ Time
after time the revenue officers made des-
perate raids on the illicit distillers,
killing and being killed, yet never en-
tirely subduing the stubborn mountain
GERS The mellow note of the old tin
horn would always warn the whisky
rebels of the approach of their enemies,
and many mans death has it presaged.
The moonshiners would station a
lusty lunged sentinel ON some promi-
nent mountain rock which commanded
a view Of the valley below, and the
slightest symptom in the lower defiles

the old horn flying and the moonshiners
themselves flying to their imprOvised
fortresses, armed to the teeth and ready
to take and risk life for what they con-
sidered their rights and in defense of
their hearthstones. To the revenues"
it always bore dismal information
that from the next crag or bramble they
might expect Staying volley from
their hidden foes.
The venerable horn is a special re-
minder of notorious gang which ter
rorized the country up to within year
ago. 1t was used to rally the forces of
the gang and was often the preface TO a
bloody conflict between them and the
law representatives.
When the gang was finally disposed
of, the horn passed into the possession
of old Uncle Isaac a typical "befo' de
wah" negro and the old man often
brings it out and recounts its interest
