SET THE ICE CREAM AFIRE
Joseph Jefferson Tells of Funny Incider

Joseph Jefferson Tells of a Funny Incident
 in Q Western Theater
 From the New York Times
 Joseph Jefferson, at a recent dinner in this city where he was the guest of honor, said that he had been asked to tell some of the curious and amusing stage incidents that had come under his observation dur ing his long career. In compliance with this request he narrated number of 1udi- crous occurrences that came to his mind on the spur of the moment, and among them he recalled the happenings at 8 theater in one of the western towns good many years ago.
 The stage properties and resources of this theater, MT. Jefferson said, were of the most primitive kind. There was ban- quet scene in the play, at which molasses and water did duty for wine, and Sea Island cotton acted the part of Ice cream The stage manager did not practice total abstinence, and his assistants took their cue from him.
 On the night in question one of these as. sistants, who was far from sober, in plac- ing a candeabrum on the banquet table. managed to tip lighted candle over into the ice cream bowl. And the spectators were instantly treated to the unparalle' ed experience of seeing ice cream in a blaze
 Their enjoyment of the situation was in- creased by the further mistake of the typsy assistant, who, being instructed to put the light out, and not noticing that the ice cream was on fire, stagg red back to the table and extingulshed the candies

THE GARDEN WITH MAUD

From the Chicago News. "Come into the garden, Maud,
 For the wintry days have flown; Come into the garden, Maud,
 And see how things have grown. I have planted pansies and sweet peas
 And morning -glories there Come into the garden, Maud,
 And see how my seedlings fare" He took her little hand in his,
 And they sauntered out to see Bat not a pansy had come up,
 Nor a solitary pea; He took one look around. and then
 He wildly tore his hair His next door neighbours chickens had Preceded Muudie there.

NO SESSION OF
 HOUSE OR SENATE Both Branches of Congress Will Observe Memorial Day. THE HAWAIIAN RESOLUTION May Be Brought Up in the House This Wee As Speaker Reed Is Willing to
 Give lt the Right
 of Way
THE HAWAIIAN RESOLUTION

Washington, May 29.-The house will not be in session Monday. having adjourned to Tuesday because of Memorial day. The consideration of the Hawaiian annexation resolutions by the house this week is possi- ble, but not assured. Speaker Reed stands ready to give the resolutions full right of way in the house if they pass the senate, but is opposed to sending them first through the house and forcing them upon the sen- ate, because. he contends, it would pre- cipitate fight there which would prolong indefinitely the session and end finally with the matter going over till the next session. Especially is he opposed to forcing the Hawaiian issue to the front until the rev enue bill Is through the senate. It is stated upon high authority that other re- publican members of the committee on rules are in accord with the speakers posi- tion, notwithstanding they favor, as he does not the annexation proposition. Con- sequently, consideration of the resolutions early in the week is not to be expected and consideration late in the week is improba- ble.

TALK OF A CAUCUS.

There is still talk of a republican caucus to consider the question and one may be held. The general deficiency bill may be reported during the week, but owing to the development of new demands upon the war and navy departments notably the former, incident to the war the bill may be withheld until nearer the close of the session. The bill so far as it relates to ordinary deficiency has been ready six weeks.
 Conference reports upon the sundry civil, postoffice, Indian and District of Columbia any day though the sundry civil bill may appropriation bills may be expected at most any day, though the sundry civil bill may be delayed until after the revenue bill passes the senate owing to the demands there upon the attention of Senator Allison, of the finance committee. An effort to pass the anti-scalping bill will be made during the week. Bills of minor importance will be pushed meantime by members generally.
 FINANCE COMMITTEE.
 Having decided at the last moment Sat-. urday to observe memorial day the senate will not be in session again until Tuesday. The finance committee, will, however, meet on Monday in an endeavor to perfect the revenue bill in minor details. There is still no certainty as to when the vote may be taken on the revenue bill. It looks as If the entire week would be spent upon it and none of the members of the oommitte un- dertake to predict the exact date of the senates conclusion of its work. There are still number of speeches to be made upon the bill and amendment. It is probable that there will be more or less debate upon the Lodge amendment for the annexation of Hawaii, and the Morgan amendment re- lating generally to the annexation of ter- ritory. Messrs Lodge and Morgan an- nounce their intentions to make speeches upon the subjects involved, and senators with opposite views declare their intention to reply to these speeches.
 AMENDMENTS ELIMINATED.
 Whenever the final vote is reached on ths revenue bill there is no longer much doubt as to the shape in which it will be passed by the senate. The decisive vote of Sat- urday on the corporation tax amendment renders it quite certain that all the demo- cratic amendments will be eliminated from the bill and that republican suggestion for the issuance of $30O, 900 in bonds and $1O0 900 900 in time certificates will be sub- stituted for the house bond and certificate provision. The general impression about the senate Is that the house will accept the majority of the senate amendments and that consequently the bill will not be long in conference. With the revenue bill dis posed of there may be an effort to secure an independent expression on Hawaiian annexation, but this will depend upon fu- ture developments. The conference reports on appropriation bills will also be in or- der. There will be several of these, the sundry civil being the most important.

The speed of the brig Cureux sent by Nelson, arriving at London July 9, helped the deliverance. Sir Robert Calder was sent to combat the invading armada. It met it and there was preliminary fight in fog with an advantage to the English, and Villeneuve, instead of obeying orders, turned in at Ferrol, and the plans of Ma poleon were utterly frustrated.
 Napoleon, in a rage, turned in his light ming way to plan the campaign of Auster- litz. Then followed the battle of Trafalgar on the sea, and the criss-crossng of the Atlantic by the Napoleonlc fleet was for ever at an end.
