The Loud bill is now not so
loud. BY vote Of 162 to l19 the
measure, which last year passed
the house by vote Of 144 to 1o4,
was laid on the table. A three
days debate upon its provisions
developed very clearly the cinch
game aimed at newspaper publica.
tions outside of the big dailies, and
the sentiment Of the vote to lay on
the table is an indication that the
measure is destined to defeat.

In connection with the expert
mental free delivery of mail in
rural districts the department is
planning to make use Of the schools
as places of delivery The idea is
that the children will take the
mail home. If such a plan is
adopted the experiments will prove
a failure. 1t would be impossible
to avoid endless complaints if mail
were thus sent through the schools.
Letters would be lost by the
children and the teachers or the
carriers would be held responsible.
The experiment should be con-
Quoted on the broad plan of taking
each family's mail to its door; the
schools cannot be advantageously
converted into postoflices.

Ladies' Home journal Answered.
By REV. l.. GREEN.

In the Ladies Home Journal of
March we have a whole page de-
voted to "rhe Decay of the Sunday
School" in which the writer says
many things worthy ofcareful con-
sideration, but some things that
will not bear careful investigation.
We wish to call attention in a
kindly spirit, to a few things
in which, in our judgment, he is
badly mistaken.
In the first paragraph, we are
told that the average Sunday
school Is in a state Of mouldering

In the event of war between
Spain and the United States the
administration will have the
united support of practically all
citizens. 1t is characteristic of
Americans that they will stand by
the government in such an emerg-
ency. There are few who would
make trouble but this class is
small. 1t has always been present
when we have had foreign compll-
cations, but it has never been large
enough to hamper the government,

holds that the mortgage tax
law is not unconstitutional, and
that it fixed the situs or place of

Oregon for the purpose of assess

SENATOR LINDSAY'S WISH.

eff had plenty of money to do with as I wished" said Senator Lindsay of kentucy to a party of friends at the Hotel Wellington the other mornn ''Id have music played at all of my meals and get cigars made at $50 a hundred. Those are two luxuries I would most surely indulge myself in. I'd have the music played by a small orchestra, say horn and two or three violins and flute and bass viol, and I'd have it play soft, harmonious airs while I ate, and now and then I'd have some vocal music given by colored voices. There's peculiar harmony in a Negros singing tone. I'd have lem sing such things as When the Wa termelon Hangs Upon the Vine That is a song calculated to inspire the most sluggish appetite. I remember hearing it once on Mississippi River boat. A lot of us were aboard, and in the party was Hooker of Mississippi. There Were some darkies aboard who played in- strumental music with banjos, guitars, and a fiddle. I asked 'em if they sung, and they said they did sometimes. Well, they struck up When the Water melon Hangs Upon the Vine Hooker had never heard it before and it nearly set him crazy."-Washingt Star.

 MAGICIAN KELLAR AT THE HY-
 PERION.
 '"The Shrine of Koomra Sami" is the title of one of Magician Kellar's lat est masterpieces. It is indeed mar vellous illusion. All the advanced work of the wonderful Mahatmas of India has been a subject of thorough study by MT. Kellar and the Shrine of Koomra Sami' is but one of the many adaptations he has made of their won derful necromancy. A large cage, made from wooden slats, is placed in the mid dle of the stage. There are no traps, coverings or screens of any sort and the stage is brilliantly lighted. Yet before the very eyes of the audience, he causes the cage to instantly become full of living men and women, to the number of a dozen or more. Where they come from or how they get into the cage, which has been securely lock- ed by the committee, is mystery. The cage is of open slate work and may be seen through from all sides. He opens the locked door and the strange beings step out, make their bow and walk off the stage. He puts them all back into

AGAIN THE MUSICAL FISH.

A successful fisherman of Charleston Township had, among 8 recent catch from Portage Lake, an immense pick erel from which, while lying on the bank, there emanated unmistakably musical notes. Being of a superstitious disposition, he assigned the phenome- non to supernatural causes and refused to touch the fish. Another individual, with less credulity, took possession, and upon dressing the pickeral found a jewsharp lodged in its throat in such a manner that it's expiring breath rro- duced the sounds referred to.-The De- troit Free Press.

When nine o'clock comes," he adds, "the children make it a point to go home. It is now an easy matter for parents to enforce home rules" The chief of police of Denver substantially gives the same testimony. The mayor of Des Moines is enthusiastic in his praise of the law; he says there has been few arrests under it, but the ef- feet is all that could be desired. At Evanston, suburb of Chicago, where the ordinance has been in effect only a few weeks, it is reported that from rte first it has practically enforced itseit.

A NEW G. A. R. BUILDING.
Movement on Foot to Purchase the
 Governor Buckingham Place in

Movement on Foot to Purchase the
 Governor Buckingham Place in
 Nowich for the Purpose.
 Within the past few days a move- ment has been started toward securing the Governor Buckingham house, East Main street, belonging to the estate of o. P Avery, for a building for Sedg- wick post, No. 1, G. A. R. The Nor wich and Worcester Railroad com pany have been anxious for some time to acquire the land in the rear of the house, adjoining their freight yard, for railroad purposes. They would not, however, use the residence, and it is not likely that it will be removed from it's present site.
 The Grand Army have been con- templating for some time the erection relics and also to furnish a hall and other rooms for their needs. A num- Der of prominent citizens have inter- ested themselves within the past week in plan to obtain the Buckingham house for such a purpose, and while it is too early to state the probable out come of the scheme the opportunity is very favorable for it's consumation Negotiations for the sale of the prop erty to the railroad company are about completed and it is said the company would be willing to dispose of the resi- dence to Sedgwick post if they de- sire it.
 This would in many ways make an ideal home for the Grand Army. The mansion was the residence of the war governor of Connecticut, William A. Buckingham, and the association con- nected with it are very dear to the vet erans. The governors private office could be used as a museum and the whole building could be readily adapt ed for the uses of the post. The grounds would be ample and the sec- ond story of the mansion could be con- verted into very spacious hall for meetings; and there would then be ample space for committee rooms, etc. Norwich Bulletin.
