TWO MONTHS LATER.
Senate Passes Joint Resolution
Changing Inauguration Day.

Changing Inauguration Day.
Washington, May lin the senate
yesterday a joint resolution proposing
an amendment to the constitution of the
United States, substituting the last
Tuesday in April for the 4th of March
dent and vice president and the be-
ginning of terms of members of con-
gress, senators and representatives, was
considered.
The author of the resolution, Mr..
Hoar made a brief explanation of the
necessity of making the change propos-
ed. Mr.. Hoar pointed out the fact that
inauguration days under the present ar
engagements, were too often characteriz-
ed by disagreeable weather, the nature
of the weather involving danger to
the health and lives of those VINO par
ticipate in the exercises
The most important reason for the
adoption of the amendment was that
the time between the date congress con-
vened in December, and the Attn OF
March, when the congress expired by
limitation, every two years, was too
short for the proper and decent consid-
Grafton of the 10 great appropriation
bills and other matters of Importance,
which must necessarily be considered
during the short session of congress.
Mr. Stewart offered an amendment
providing that the date should be the
first Tuesday of May
Mr. Allen suggested that Mr.. stewart
make his amendment read the fourth
day of May.
Mr.. Stewart accepted the suggestion
and. without division, the senate adopt
ed the amendment.
The resolution, as amended, was then
passed by a yea and nay vote, 81 TO Ao'
receiving the necessary two-thirds.

Great Historical Novels.

Sir Walter Scott won an immortal

There is more or less romance connect

this splendid work is to give, not only
the romance of the great lives por-
trayed but to delineate the true char
acterS OF the persons themselves, at the
same time giving the reader a correct
adea OF the history, customs and even
etiquette of the times. The author has
a happy faculty of robbing history
of its duh prosaic, thus giving her read.

But lest some may forget, the man agement of Grace hospital, through the courtesy of the press, takes this means to let it be known, that the wants and needs of the hospital are more urgent and pressing than ever be- fore, and they are hopeful that the friends of the institution will be led to make the contributions larger than heretofore.
 The contributions can be placed in the printed envelopes to be found in the church on Sunday morning or can be sent to the treasurer, MT. John E. Richardson, at the Yale National bank
