THE FIRST MRS. ADAM.
She Was Lilith and Was Expelled After
Being 1870 Years Married.

Whether Lilith was one of the female
creation of chapter /, or demon, or some
thing between tho two, she was, consider
ed matrimonially, complete failure She
was expelled after living with Adam 1870
years and subsequently became tho wife
of satan, by whom she was the mother of
the Jinns, so familiar in Persian fairy
lore.
The emphatic remark of Adam when no
first saw Eve, This is now bone of my
bones and flesh of my flesh" makes, it is
suggested, comparison between Eve and
the beautiful but fiendlike Lilith not COM
plimentary to the latter, while the reference

FIRST BIRDS FROM THE DIXIE.
Homing Pigeons Fly Straight and
True to baltimore.

The first of the homing pigeons sent by
President E. F. Baker Of the Americas Fly
ing Club to the United States steamship
Dixie returned about 2:3G pm. yesterday.
One reached Mr.. Bakers loft, at 1901 North
Calvert street, one was found at Mr.. W. b.
Cochran's loft, Govanstown, and one at the
loft of Mr.. Charles II. Gantz, at Broadway
and Preston street. The message, in tripli-
cate, one copy being sent by each bird, was
as follows:
Sent by United States steamship Dixie,
June 2. Home station, Baltimore Wind
east Weather clear. Time of liberation, G
am Place of liberation, Hampton Roads.
Acknowledge receipt of Mr. Bakers letter
of May 81 and twenty-nine birds in good
condition, with feed, etc. c. H. Davis, com
mander, United States navy. commanding
United States steamship Dixie"
The bird which brought the message to
Mr. Cochran was one of seven which he
contributed to the lot. 1t was a black cock,
"k1993." Last fall it flew 800 miles. Last
Sunday it flew from Weldon. N. C. Mr.. Ba-
ker sent eighteen birds and Mr.. Charles
Gantz sent four. These birds have been
flown under special preparation for this ma
val service since May /, and all have had
the same training. On each occasion three
birds will be liberated when necessary to
send message, as hawks, gunners and
storms may kill some of the pigeons, and
the chances of returns are enlarged by
sending out more than one. Others will be
liberated as occasion requires. The owners
of the birds are anxious to have them fly
200 miles over the sea and to deliver dis
patches they bring on the same day to
Washington over the long distance tele-
phone, as such performance would be con-
sidered one of more merit than like dis
lance flown over land. The pigeons which
returned yesterday had to travel about 200
miles.

Queer Funeral Mistakes.
rom the Portland Express.

There have been some queer mistakes
made of all kinds. but this Is one of the
most unusual and undesirable, although no
real harm was done; A man one time prom
inent in professional life in this city died
He was a member of certain society in
this city, which sent representatives to the
funeral The members of the organization
were notified Of the death of their fellow
member by postal cards sent out by the
secretary One of the cards was addressed
to and delivered at the late residence of the
dead member, inviting him to attend his
own obsequies. A similar Incident was If
anything, worse. A member of a secret
society died and his fellows were notified
of his death and the time and place of the
funeral, as usual A card was delivered at
the address of the dead man, directed to
him in his own handwriting! He had been
the secretary of the organization and had
addressed sets of postal cards to the menu
bers at his leisure. When a member died a
set of the addressed cards was sent to the
printer, who printed the name of the de-
ceased member on the back with the other
matter used in the notice. So when the
secretary died his assistant or successor.
sent a set of the cards to the printer. SO

SENATORS DETERMINED TO VOTE.
Want Action on the Hawaiian An
nexatiOn Resolution.

Assuming that the Hawaiian resolution
will pass the House during the present ses-
sion the senatorial supporters of anneXa-
ton are determined to secure action by
the Senate before adjournment. They have
proclaimed their intention to call up the
House resolution in the Senate Immediately
after the passage of the war revenue BILL
providing the House had in the meantime
acted upon it. They have conferred and
have reached the conclusion that there are
enough senators willing to remain in ses-
sion indefinitely to assure action during the
session 1t is, they say, their purpose 10
insist that Congress shall remain in session
until the resolution is acted upon. They also
assert that the President is desirous that
this program shall be pursued and that ne
is ayerSe to adjournment without actof
on a measure which he considers of essen
tial importance in the prosecution OF the
war. go
1t is quite certain that this effort will
be stubbornly antagoniZed IL made, anu
the probabilities are that, If necessary, the
contract between the members of the
finance committee will be brought into pub
lie notice. The democratic members of the
committee assert that there was solemn
agreement that the Hawaiian question
should not come up in any shape in the
Senate during the present session, proVid-
ing the democratic members would assist
in securing speedy action upon the revenue
bill This they claim to have done to the
best of their ability, and they say they
will insist that the republican members Of
the committee keep their part of the COM
pact They further assert that the agree
ment went to the extent of providing that
the republican members of the committee
pledged themselves personally to resort to
any means necessary to prevent considera-
ton, agreeing to vote for final adjournment
in order to prevent it. if necessary, or, il
more effective, to vote against considera-
ton of the subject
On the other hand, the supporters of an
nexation declare there has been no expe-
dition of the revenue bill, and add that the
position assumed by the administration in
active support of Hawaii will materially
assist them in overcoming the opposition
of the members of the finance committee.
They even declare that since the military
necessity of securing Hawaii has been
made apparent some of the democratic
members of the committee, who have been
heretofore counted among the stanchest
opponents of annexation, will not insist
upon compliance with this agreement. In
a word, they declare their confidence in be-
ing able to overcome all opposition and in
getting the resolution through the Senate
this session in case the House acts as it
now promises to do.
