ARE MEN NEATER THAN WOMEN?

Are women heater than men was
question recently asked by cynical
old bachelor who is stern critic as
to all that regards woman's get-up.
This was the reply: Women are en-
dowed with strange vagaries, and
while extremely fastidious in many
ways, are very neglectful in others.
Even the SWEETEST society girl is not
as particular as to the freshness Of
her collar and cuffs as is the plain
everyday man of business; to change
his linen at least once day is
sort of religion with most men. With
women it is different; they will in
spect their collars and cuffs after
days hard wear and decide that
they will do, not recognizing the fact
that If any doubt exists on the mat
ter they should be consigned to the
laundry without demur. Again, man
is much more concerned as to the
state Of his shoes than woman;
even the poor clerk on meagre SAL
airy spends his nickel a day for
shine without grudging: and if it be
imperative that the nickel be saved
he gets up earlier in the morning
and Yields the blacking-brush him
self. The woman will gown herself
in Worth's or Paguin's latest creation
and forget to look to her shoes; she
is even willing to condone the loss Of
one or two buttons and the conse-
quent baggy appearance OF her ex-
tremities; like the peacock, she trusts
to the gorgeousness OF her plumage,
and hopes that her skirts will cover
all pedal defects.-Countess de Mon
taigu in Godey's Magazine.

A correspondent with Admiral

The capture of the city has been de.

Washington, d. c., June 1.-The
war revenue measure was passed by
the senate. A score or more of at
tempts were made to amend it, but
in only three or four instances were
successful. Particular effort was
made to amend the bond provision of
the measure, but it was futile in
every instance. The most notable
amendment was that offered by Mr..
Tillman (dem,, S. Co., placing duty
of loo pound on all tea imported
The amendment was adopted 80 to 80.
1t is calculated by the senate experts
that the duty, if it be finally enacted
into law will raise at least $10,000,00O

Mr.. Chiffon (dem., Tex, provides
for tax graduated according to price
upon all articles sold under a patent
right, trademark or name not
open to general use and which are
not otherwise taxed by the bill
Through an amendment offered by
Mr.. Lindsay (dem., ky.) the senate
decided not to place stamp tax upon
bundles of newspapers wholly or
partly printed which weigh less than
100 pounds \ tax of four cents a
barrel was placed on adulterated flour
and a stamp tax of one cent on every
ticket emitting the holder to seat

silver certificates against it. After
some discussion a vote was reached
and the amendment was agreed to-

Office at once. Mr.. Grosvenor en-
dorsed the position taken by Mr..
Bailey and incidentally declared that
his belief was that no mans patrio-
tism could be called in question be-
cause "he stands rigidly by the terms
of the constitution and it's manifest
spirit"
Mr.. Grosvenor's speech called forth
upon the part of the south that has
been not often surpassed in phrase
ology and eloquence. He reviewed
the growth of cordial feeling between
the sections following the war, when
neither loved the other, until the pres
ent when the united country con-
fronted the enemy. Her sons" re-
ferring to the south, lat the end of
the civil war laid down their arms in
good faith upon the altar of their
country. In the same spirit they now
take their step to the music of the
union. do not believe the Ameri-
can people were ever so united as they
are today Continuing he said the
American people would free, not only
Cuba, but themselves and "out of this
fire and blood wherewith we are now
being baptized shall come FORTH l
doubt not, new men and new women
clean of every whit of sectional hate
and sectional bitterness clean gone
forever" When Mr.. Settle concluded
several minutes elapsed before order
was restored. Members from all
quarters of the chamber crowded to
the Kentucky members seat and con-
graduated him. The bill was then
passed unanimously.
Washington, June 2.--When the
senate adjourned the war revenue
measure, so far as the finance COM
mittee is concerned, was completed
with the exception of the bond pro-
vision and the amendments proposed
by the democrats in lieu of the bond
paragraph. All the committee
amendments, except those noted,
were agreed to. Several efforts were
made to amend or eliminate the COM
mittee amendments, but the efforts
in each case were unsuccessful There
were many speakers.
Washington, June 1.-THE house
practically without debate passed the
urgency deficiency bill providing for
emergency expenses of the army and
navy departments incident to the war
The bill carries $150,000 for the tor
pedo defense of Manila harbor, Philip
pine islands. The house also passed a
bill providing for the Establishment
of postoffices at military posts and
camps. In response from a question
from Mr.. Dingley Mr.. Cannon said
the war would cost approximately
5000, 600, 600, provided it should con-
time one year.

The experiences Of the last year bring

should be our object therefore, to minim-
ize so far as practicable this inevitable
loss and disturbance. This purpose can
probably be best accomplished by an in
ternational agreement to regard all pri-
vate property at sea as exempt from cap
ture or destruction by the forces of bellig;
erent powers. The United States govern
ment has for many yers advocated this
humane and benedcent principle and is
now in position =, to recommend it
to others without the imputation of
selfish motives. I therefore suggest for
your consideration that the executive be
authorized to correspond with the govern
ments Of the principal maritime powers
with a view of Incorporating into the per
manept law Of civilized nations the prin.
ciple Of the exemption Of all private prop
erty at sea not contraband Of war, from

The councllmen were in favor Of

The cOuncilmen were in favor of
some kind OF bicycle ordinance and
had raked their heads for months
trying to prepare an ordinance that
would pass. But every time one was
presented it would be voted down for
one reason or another. There we're
always too many provisions to them.
When Councilman Lichtenberger
made up his mind that he wanted a
bicycle ordinance his one idea was to
keep the bicycles off the sidewalks
and he cared nothing about bills, the
regulation Of speed for riding in the
streets or the hump tie bicyclist
should maintain while going through
a crowded thoroughfare. Nor did he
Consider that they would have to walk
in muddy weather if prohibited the
rlguU'OI-Way on tne sidewalks; he
didn't care. He went forthwith to
the city attorney and asked that an
ordinance prohibiting the riding of
bicycles on the sidewalks be drawn
without any frills to it. The city at.
tOrney drew an ordinance that was
brief and entirely devoid of frills.
The result was it went through the
council without a hitch. There was
nothing to it to wrangle over. Mr..
Lichtenberger succeeded in getting
the rules suspended that night and
the ordinance was given its second
reading and becomes a law as soon as
printed in the Monitor. Press.

in organizing volunteers. The state
is responsible for its safety, and un,
til it knows who will enlist its only
protection is to call the stuff in. As
to retaining the old officers, Cover
nor Leedy took the position that
every volunteer should have a vote
in the choice of the officers, from
captain down, under whom he must
serve. Take a company Of eighty
four men; suppose that ffty-four
are new recruits; should the fifty,
four militiamen have the sole power
to choose officers, or should the en-
tire company participate in the cleo
ton? Governor Leedy took the
latter position. If part of the officers
had voice in the election it should
extend to extend to each one of
them. As to delay occasioned by
the move it will be seen that the
Kansas volunteers will be seen that
the Kansas volunteers will be at the
front as early as those of any state,
and the careful medical examina-
tons which are being made will re-
suit in the rejection Of a very few by
the government.
