HOUSE.

| Rep. Robertson reported for the Jul
dietary Committee, on House Bill 66
amending Chapter Of the Penal Code
as follows:
| The only amendment contained in
the bill to the existing law, is to add
after the word Imprisonment" the
words at hard labor" We find that
| imprisonment without labor is a rare
provision in our laws, inconsistent with
| the present system of criminal admin
istration. and believe that omission
from the Penal Code of the words sup
piled by this bill was an accident.
Laid on the table to be considered
with the bill.
With a smile on his face Rep. Rich
ards introduced the following resOlu-
ton:
Resolved, that the absence and tardi-
ness of certain members from the ses-
siOns of this House is detrimental to
the public interests and derOgatOry
to the dignity of the House.
Resolved, that the clerk furnish a
copy of this resolution to Representa-
tives Robertson, K8eO, Atkinson, Wild
er and Achi.
AS it happened, the representatives.
mentioned were absent when the resO-
luton was written. When the vote
to adopt the resolution was taken,
Reps. Robertson and KaeO were alb
sent. The resolution was adopted by
a vote of to 3.
Rep. Robertson presented a resOIu-
ton for the Judiciary Committee as
follows:
Resolved, that the following items be
appropriated in Senate Bill No. from

Nature seemed to revolt al this scene
of blood and carnage. Thunder and
lightning and an avalanche of rain
came in quick succession with such
great force as to cause the stoutest
heart to quake. This great battle was
the seventh days fight to capture the
City of Richmond. 1t was not an or
binary battle, but a demons fight, and
the final encounter between those two
giants of war, Robert E. Lee and
George B. Mcclellan. 1t gave the lau-
rels of victory to the southern chief
tain, dedewed with tears of broken
hearts.

The boy was praying and called down

Episode Of the Late War.

"Don't leave me, captainl Oh,
don't leave mel"-words that came to
me with an agonized shrek from
bleeding and dying Confederate soldier
on the evening OF the great battle of
Malvern Hill, July /, 1862. He was a
mere youth of seventeen years, lay in
a heap, gasping for the breath which
was fast leaving him, along with the
rays of sunlight, on that sad and men,
orable day. L, for whom that piteous
cry was meant, was staff officer of the
brigade to which the Louisiana regi-
ment, the soldier boys regiment, was
attached
Well mounted, was galloping back
across that bloody field to report the
duty had performed, when suddenly
arrested in my course by the voice of
despair and woe coming from my
stricken comrade. The day was fast
passing away into darkness, dark
ness that seemed to enshroud this val
ley of death. The terrific cannonading
on both sides that had lasted for hours
from surrounding hills Malvern Hill
being the central point of attack by the
Coniederates) was supplemented by
the booming of artillery and the burst
ing of shell from the gunboats on the
adjacent James river.

Female weaknesses are more common

there is pain, discharges, suppression,
irregularities, weak back, inaammations,
bearing down, bad taste in the mouth,
loss of appetite, faintness, constipation,
nervousness, sleeplessness and irritability.
Mrs. S. Taylor, of ISL West 18TH ST., New

saltwater BiIPs Revenge,

A characteristic of the antics of
"Swiftwater Bill"G ltes, late of Dawson
City, was told by F. H. Piel, who ar
rived on the Al-Ki. Piel sat in the San
Francisco shoe store drawing on a new
pair of the latest style footwear, and
told the story so nicely that the telling
would be half the story itself.
Have you ever heard the true story
of how saltwater Bill bought up all
the eggs in Dawson?" asked Piel. 81
will tell you about it. saltwater had
been sweet on girl at Dawson, one of
the prettiest in town. But she shook
him for another fellow, and saltwater
went on the warpath. One night he
sat in restaurant, and, to his dismay
his sweetheart came in with her new
fellow and sat down at another table.
saltwater listened and heard the
young woman order "Eggs." Then
saltwater shot for the kitchen like a
| bullet out of a gun.
"'How many eggs have you got?' he
said TO the cook.
"Eight hundred
"'How much are theyP'
"'DOllar apiece.
"I'll take 'em all; every one.'
|
"'But somebody has just ordered
eggs
"'Go and tell 'em you amt got any.
"And thus the deal was closed by
which Saltwater got every egg in the
house.
"Another time his particular enemy
came into the restaurant, and Swift
water heard him order duck. Swift
water shot for the kitchen.
"How many ducks you got?'
"'Only one, and it's just ordered
"'Don't make no differences; how
much you want for it7'
"Can't sell it to you, sir; it's sold.
"'Here, Pll give S175. Go tell hin
you haven't any duck
"Again Saltwater got in his fine
work and bought the only duck il
the house. saltwater is all right

No distinguished visitor who ever
came to Washington made a better inn
preston in a short time than has Presi-
dent Dole, of Hawaii, at present the
honored guest of the United States.
A weak and vain man in President
Dole's position would have had his
head turned by the preferred official
lionizing, which he has | ad the good
sense to decline. Before arriving at
Washington, Mr., Dole made it clearly
understood that such things as military
salutes and escorts were distasteful TO
him, and that all he desired was to
be treated with the same courtesy that
would be extended to any other gentle
man visiting our country. He has re-
ceived the President, and ex.President
Harrison and many Senators and Rep
resentatives who have called on him,
with quiet dignity that at once won
for him their respect, which has been
enhanced by the general knowledge he
has displayed in conversing with them.
This week President Mckinley will
give a state dinner in honor of Mr..
and Mrs. Dole, and the two Presidents
and their wives will hold joint recep-
ton at the White House. Present in
dications are that it will be some time
before the annexation treaty is voted
on by the Senate.

THREE out of the four gold Demo-
cratic SenatOrs-Gray of Delaware,
Mitchell of Wisconsin, and Lindsay of
Kentucky-voted for the Teller resolu-
ton, declaring bonds payable, at the
option of the government, in silver,
and one - Cafferey of Louisiana -
against it. Murphy of New York and
Smith of New Jersey, Democrats who
voted for Bryan, but who have claimed
to be anti-silver in their personal
views, voted for the resolution, and
German of Maryland, who is in the
same boat, was paired. The explana-
ton of Senator Lindsay as to why he
voted for the Teller resolution-that it
was nothing more than declaration of
fact concerning existing law - may
doubtless be palmed off on some of
their constituents by Smith of New
Jersey, Murphy of New York, and
Mitchell of Wisconsin, all of whom
claim to be sound money men, and all
of whom voted for the resolution, but it
is no valid excuse. The resolution has
nothing whatever to do with any exist
ing law. The original, offered by
Stanley Matthews when silver was at a
premium and adopted by the House
and Senate, was only concurrent
resolution, and thus was never law.
So the excuse wont wash

IN order to devote his time entirely
to the campaign in North Carolina, Sena-
tor Pritchard will resign his place on
the Republican Congressional Cam
paign Committee. Speaking of his ac-
ton, Senator Pritchard said "The cam
paign in North Carolina this fall will
command my closest attention. We have
an entire legislature to elect, and if the
Democrats should carry the state, they
will at once undo all that has been done
in the way of just election laws. We
cannot afford to let them get control,
but the fight will be a vigorous one.
The Populists will doubtless cooperate
with us, as they will see the necessity
of keeping the legislature out of the
hands of the Democrats"

WITH THE sICK SOLDIERS.

The moist. muggy weather of yester-
day was particularly rough upon the
returned soldiers who have malaria
germs in their system. Some of them
who have been convalescent for the
past few days We're affected 30 that
they had to remain indoors during the
day. Others who believed they had rid
their system of the germs felt weak
and uneasy, and are now determined to
continue vigorously their warfare
against the disease.
The different soldiers who are occu-
plying cots in the hospitals Of the city
passed comfortable day. No change
in their condition, at least for the
worst, was reported.
Timothy j.. Burns, private, G. Co, eth

pttal during the day, suffering with
typhoid and malaria. Two weeks ago
he was discharged from Carney hos

BATES MEN WAITING.

There were no new developments yes
terday in the movement by the friends
of Hon. Theodore c. Bates to run him
as an independent candidate for con-
gress in the third district. Mr.. Bates
had nothing to say about the matter,
and his friends who were seen were
less communicative than on yesterday.
One of them did condescend to tell The
Spy man that the talk of getting 1000
names for the nomination papers was
misleading, as only 16S names were nee
essary to place a candidate in nomina-
ton, one name for every 100 republic
can votes cast for governor in the
district at the preceding election.
The Springfield Republican, com
menting on the report that Mr.. Bates
is to run Independently, says;
There is promise Of lively times in
old Worcester county this fall, unless
powerful influences intervenes to per-
suade Theodore G. Bates not to stir up
the animals. Congressman Walker has
got his denomination all right, with
only a little protest from Southbridge
to mar it; but now Mr.. Bates threatens
to run for congress as an independent
republican and to say things out loud.
In fact, he has practically decided to
do this, and If he does, the fun will
promptly begin. His plan would be to
take the stump and hold it's first meet
ing in Worcester. That first speech
would be very full of ginger. Mr.. Bates
would discuss Worcester methods in
politics with rather more than But
lerian freedom--such Is the promise.
There would be personal remarks of
extreme interest, with due attention
paid to newspapers. 1t will be a mis-
take If bras band is not engaged to
play on the occasion, opening with that
popular ditty, "A hot time in the old
town tonight'-roasting hot!"

HE'LL NOT FORGET.

Should dear old comrades be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Why, bless you, we can ne'er forget
War days of Aud Lang Syne;
Marching, "Old Glory on before,
Elbow TO elbow touched;
Singing war songs loud AMI long
In days of Aud Lang Syne.
Oft we have met in camp and field
We've heard the canon roar,
All, yes, we've had our blood CONCEALED
AS from the cook-tent's door
We've trudged away with old tin plate
OF bareback, don't you know,
With pieces of pork of ancient date
And tea of long ago.
Should sergeant's cry be ere forgot
Fall In. Fall in for drill!
No Sinking soldier ere was found
To feign malarial chill,
To 'scape the sergeant's cry ITO arms, -
With polished gun SO. bright,
In peaceful shades. without alarms,
Or dread of battle fright.
Can we forget those luscious beans
That in the ground were baked
Tho long split rails we often lugged
Until our muscles ached?
We see it now-the old bean hole,
With pork and beans so hot,
It's fires long since have ceased to burn
And pork and beans fare not"
OH Spiritus Fermenti!
That ration served to all
With quinine mixed to smooth 1t down
And save the moral sting;
Yet gave to weary aching bones,
Ease only that could bring,
As men, like aspen leaf did shake.
Rending the air with gfoans.
Now, comrades, give three loud hurrahs
For this reunion here
For mem'ries of the long ago,
With shadows drawing nedrt
Our army chunls we1l not foFget--
The men so brave and truei
Wen not forget the time we served
In wearing of the blue!
