Washington, Jan. 13.-The
joint subcommittee of the
house and senate on Indian af-
fairs held another meeting and
discussed at length sections IA
and 15 of the Curtis bill without
reaching definite action upon
them. The sections relate to
townsites in the Indian Terri
tory, and there were various
propositions advocated by the
members. as well as by MEM
bers of the Dawes commits
sion. The ideas put forth em-
braced a great variety of prop
ositions for disposing of town
sites-by lease. sale, condition
al sale. sales to townsite COM
panies who might dispose of
them, authorizing the tribe to
sell them on the old deposit
scheme, letting the parties who
desire to take lots deposit in
the sub-treasury at st. Louis
the value of the lots for the use
of the tribe and in that way Sc
cure title.
A number of members will
consent to any arrangement ex-
cept to giving absolute title
without the consent of the In
dians. The sections indicated
are practically the only ones in
the Curtis bill that are not now
agreed upon. 1t is understood
that section s. relating to allot-
ment, will not contain the alter
native plan favored by a num-
ber of the members during the
first meeting of the committee.
Another meeting will be held
Saturday, and there is a pros
pect that the bill will then be
completed. Its provisions are
agreed upon excepting as tc
sections IA and 15.

THE FrRsr pAY,s MoRK.

Tho Philadelphia Times contains
this comment on the registration in
this city on Saturday:
Delaware, in its new Constitution.
is trying an experiment in the regu-
lation and publication of the suffrage
the outcome OF which will be watched
with interest In proportion to It's size,
no state has suffered more from a mass
OF ignorant and cheaply purchasable
voters, regularly trafficl1ed in by both
political parties. 1t was to control this
aIbuse that the Constitutional Conven-
tion adopted the principle OF personal
registration, requiring every voter to
appear at a specified time and place
and register mis- name, paying his own
poll tax or registration fee. This
sweeps away completely the Old vi
cious system by which the party lead
ens were able to control blocks OF
votes by means OF tax receipts. It ad-
mits to the suffrage only those who are
able and willing to qualify themselves
to vote. The registration opened i'm
Wilmington on Saturday, and out OF
q voting population OF over $4,000 only
500 registered. Unless there should be
a great awakening in the remaining
days, the next election will he very
different from amy that have preceded
It in recent years"
As a matter Of fact, the party leaders
did not expect big registration. II Is
seldom in Delaware that the first day
is marked by big results, but, before
the last day has passed, It is character
istic of the Delaware voter 10 qualify
himself to exercise the elec-
tive franchise. Registration is not a
new thing in our state. The only In
novatiOn Is that The tax receipt is no
longer a prerequisite for voting, and
that a registration fee of one dollar Is
substituted. 1t Is safe to assume that
men win not sacrifice their rights OF
citizenship in this essential particular
for the sake OF a dollar From now
on until the registration closes there
will be a steady increase OF the num-
Der qualified until practically all men
who are possessed Of the other essen
tial qualifications are ready to go TO
the polls and exercise the elective
frUnchise We must not judge too
strictly by the first days work OF the

PLACING OF FURNITURE.
Much May BE Added to the Attractive
ness of G ROOm by
Good Taste.

1t requires display of good taste to
arrange the furniture of O room IN the
way which gives the room the most
satisfactory appearance. Everyone real
ICES the soothing, restful effect Of some
rooms and commonplace effect of 9th
ers. There is often no great difference
In the quality or cost of the furnish
ings of two parlors, but one room IS
restful, quiet place, where no jarring
color ofPends the eye, while the furni-
ture IN the other appears TO have been
tossed into its place without care or
thought. The want in most parlors is
not the expenditure Of more money, but
of the use of more harmonious colors
and the more graceful arrangement Of
the furniture. Exceedingly pretty cot
ton upholstery materials may now be
purchased in the paint mistletoe greens,
terra Gotta reds and other artistic coi-
ors now used by the most intelligent
decorators. A coat Of gray green or
any pretty tint of enamel will revolu-
tionize the appearance of an old chair,
and when a pretty cushion Of cotton
upholstery in harmonious color IS added
it becomes q thing of beauty If it. Is a
graceful, sensible shape. After adding
one such chair to a room it will usually
be necessary to ft over some other
pieces to prevent their looking shabby.
IT is astonishing TO one who has never

The recovering of too gaudy a piece
here, the bringing forth of daintily-
shaped chair to this point Of the room
and the setting back of anotheS may
make an unattractive room most at
tractive. The arrangement of fern
or palm in this place, and of table, books
OF papers in that place all change the
effect Of o room. AS a rule, remember
that no one article Of furniture should
be given undue prominence. The colors
of the sitting-room should blend with
each other, but should not be Of thS

NOW THE DEWEY SKIRT.
Ii Takes the Place of the spanish
TlOunce, at One Time in suoh
Great Vogue.

Long before the present waP was
thought Of fashion was introduced
here which, first spoken of. was de-
clared by the women altogether out OF
the question. It was a skirt cut in the
Spanish hounce" shape. Doubtless,
the first woman who faced the ordeal
of feminine criticism by appearing IN
one Of these skirts was brave person.
She certainly caused futter in the
feminine world.
Those who had never seen the skirt
were outspolSen IN their decision not
to be drawn into having one cut after
that pattern, but when some woman
sailed by in all the glory of the season
of '0s" Spanish hounce, they could not
help admiring its gracefulness and
style, and straightway went and or
dered one made.
Unlike its prototype of Is or 20 years
ago, which was the death blow to any
grace or beauty of figure, when worn
by stout woman. the new skirt was
O boon to the woman who was growing
fleshy. 1t made her look tall and slen-
der, it gave to her lines which she had
never been oble to attain before, and
| itwas fur and away the most becoming
style which had ever been invented by
the fashion puryeyors for the short
fat woman.
Once this fact was realized, the sue
cees of the Spanish hounce was as
sured. It became the rage. Every ma

found made up in a Spanish fiounce

TRnBrmrE NO snNATOR GRlAY,


From tho editorial columns OF the
Milford Herald we reprint the follow
ing tribute to United States Senator
George Gray, of this city:
During the recent trials in the United
States Court in which E. T. Cooper was
first, and afterwards Senator Kenney
a defendant, as is well known, SENATOR
Gray was the able counsel for the de-
fence His services were voluntarily
and freely given because he was a per-
sonal friend of these gentlemen and
believed in their innocence. The writer
we'll remembers a conversation had
with Mr. Cooper some time last Winter
after the latter had seen Senator Gray
In his committee room in Washington.
II was about the time the Wilmington
paper began its attacks and before
Boggs had returned and in fact when
Il was not thought that he would re-
turn at all. Mr.. Cooper told Mr.. Gray
his whole connection with Boggs just
as he afterwards related 1t upon the
witness stand in Wilmington After
he had finished the senator declared,
''you had no connection in this affair
that you cannot proclaim from the
house tops. If they give you any trou-
BILE, call on me and I will assist you
with pleasure"
When Senator Kenney appeared in
Washington with his credentials as a
senator and an effort was being made
TO prevent him from being seated, Sen
ator Gray stood nobly by him and saw
that he was duly installed in the place
to which he had been elected. When
the prosecution in the District Court
was instituted. Mr.. Gray, with a
brotherly affection, came to the rescue
Of his colleague and friend, the junior
senator. Important duties at Wash
ington did not prevent him from
standing by his fellow citizens, and
after the jury had failed to agree ant
had been discharged, publicly declared
that il wac a great outrage-that tn,
government had failed in its case anC
his colleague should have been ac
quilted. From first to last he hal
declared the innocence OF Senator
Kenney. Mr.. Gray is Of a reserve,
and retiring disposition, and on thil
account some people do not thorough,
4 understand him, but the truth is, tha
while above his shoulders there is
large and brainy head, within his mas
sive breast there beats big and kim
heart.
Fer this satisfaction OF Stephel
Downey, we suggest that ex-Postmas
ter Daniel f. Stewart, chairman, an
Howard e. Stats. secretary. go befor
notary public and make AFFIDAVIT
that the Union Republican First Dis
trict Committee still exists.

Ingenious sounding Apparatus.

Rapid-test soundings were required
in some work on a railway line between
Paris and Havre, where the cast-iron
vladuct Of Bezons was replaced by an
arch bridge alongside. The old founda
tlons for six channel piers were re-
moved to the bottom of the river. It
was required that the river bed should
be carefully leveled, After It had been
dredged the bottom was explored by
means of horizontal bar of iron about
20 feet long, which was suspended at
each end from a framework uniting
two fat boats in catamnran fashion.
This beam was lowered close TO the bot
tom and the boats were gradually
moved along in the direction transverse
to the length Of the bar. When the
scraper encountered no irregularity,
the suspending chains hung vertically,
but as soon as either end was detected
by contact with any obstruction an
electric circuit was closed, which
caused an alarm to be rung. The boat
was stopped, and the obstruction To-
Gated by means of sounding poles. In
this way, small stones, down to di'
ameter Of four inches, were easily 10
Gated, and the bed of the river was lev
eled to within that amount Of irreg
ularity. This method proved rapid and
successful Savannah News.
