IN THE SENATE,
Confederate Veterans Oppose Senator
Buffers Bill


Washington, Jan. AT a brief session
of the senate to-day the first of the regu-
lar appropriation bills to be reported to
that body, the District of Columbia was
passed. 1t carried a trifle more than
si,OO0,000 and was passed practically with
out debate. The presentation of me-
mortal from camp of confederate vet
Grams in opposition to the proposition of
Butler of North Carolina to pension ex-
confederate soldiers was made the text
by Allen of Nebraska for some remarks,
during the course of which he said that
Butler in making the proposition and the
president in suggesting that the nation
care for the graves of the confederate
dead, had been carried away by their en-
thusiasm.
When the senate convened to-day Pas
coe presented a memorial from the camp
of confederate veterans at Ocala, Fla,
protesting against the adoption of the
proposition of Butler to pension ex-con-
federate soldiers.
AT the conclusion of routine business the
District of Columbia appropriation bill
was taken up.
In the senate Mason offered the follow
ing resolution:
whereas, All just powers of the gov
eminent are derived from the consent of
the governed. therefore be it resolved by
the senate of the United States that
America will not attempt to govern the
people of any other country in the world
without consent of the people themselves
or subject them by force to our dominion
against their will
Mason asked that the resolution lie upon
the table, announcing his intention of adj
dressing the senate upon it next Tuesday
The district appropriation biz was pass
ed. The house bill granting extra pay
to officers and enlisted men or United
States volunteers was called up by Shoup
and passed without amendment The bill
grants two months ezra pay to troops
that have served outside of this country
and one months extra pay to those who
have served only in this country.

Upon the Difficulty of Getting Match

A match is not much of an affair, but
the LACK of one can put woman to a
whole lot of inconvenience in the down
town district. A man in his office in one
of the big buildings finds himself in
considerable of plight when he fishes
a cigar out of his pocket and then
makes the narrowing discovery that he
has no match. He may chase around to
his neighbors in adjoining offices fruit
lessly, for men do not carry matches
as they did in the days before electric
lights and steam heat came in. No gas
to be lit and no flues to be started. In
the cigar stands cafes and drug stores
business is run on so close a margin
nowadays that the old accommodation
of exposing to the public plumber a box
of matches has been generally aban-
doned. 1t helps a little in the reduction
of expenses.
The man who smokes most is the last
man in the world to apply to for a
match with any hope of success. He is
himself generally on a hustle for light.
He is a past grand in the new class of
nuisances known as match fiends.' His
friends get on to him, and when they
see him approach them in a hurry they
know what's up. They make a bluff of
feeling in their pockets, and then head
him off with:
Haven't got one"
The man in his search of the light is
lifted down from his 18th or 18th
story office to the street, and ducks into
the nearest cigar stand and sets his to-
bacco afire. His is desperate and he

STARTING A FAMILY WAR MUSEUM


me civil War Veteran Hangs Up His
Sons knapsack Alongside of His Own,
From the New York Sun.
1T makes me laugh when I think of
1t, said veteran of the civil war, INV
discharge from the army I count the
most valuable of all my possessions. I
mad expected to hand that down to my
son when died as my dearest treasure.
and it is the one, I knew, that he would
prize most highly. You know it never
occurred to me that our country would
be engaged in another war in my life
time, or in my sons lifetime, for that
matter. thought that my army papers
would be priced by him as showing
that even II there We're no wars in his
DAY ana he could not go himself he
came at least of fighting stock, which
fought when there was a chance.
But now comes along this Spanish
American war, and the first thing the
boy I'm saving my old discharge for
does is to enlist himself. And he serves
his time in the army and gets his dis
charge. He brought it home the other
day and we put it away with mine. 1t
made me laugh when 1 read it over
with its old, familiar phraseology, and
/ took the opportunity to look at my
own again and revive the old memoir
les
The boys discharge doesn't lessen
the value of mine any; believe he sets
more store on mine now than ever since
he has served himself. But it does
seem queer to hang up the boys KNAPP
sack and traps alongside of mine, that
had really begun to get little bit time
honored. The boy was proud that his
father served-is the father proud that
the boy has served? Well, somewhat: and
if this thing keeps up for any length of
time, with a soldier in every genera ton,
why we shall establish quite a family
war musuem, and the time will come
when our descendants will feel quite
pert as they look at these relics of their
fighting ancestors

IT is the Latest Innovation Proposed
for Postoffice Boxes.
There is more than 100000 of the

KEYS. each and every keyhoder being
REQUIRED to put up with the postmas-
fer a deposit for his key, the amount
deposited being returned when the box
is given up and rent paid. Postmas-
tiers are required to keep strict ac-
count of the key deposit fund, While
the postoffice department. here has a
regular division set apart for keeping
thie account. AS postal official puts
it, there is a great deal of trouble and
no money in the transactions, and the
final outcome of the trial of the Key
less locks which are to be tried IN the
principal offices of the country Is
eagerly looked for. The department
has long wanted keyless lock, but
none of the lock inventions until the
present was regarded as in any way
calculated to prove acceptable. Con-
tracts have been made for supply of
the new locks, which will first be tried
in New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Chicago and st. Louis as the largest
and most important offices, and then
in st. Paul, MINI. Cleveland, Ohio;
Hartford, Conn; Madison, Wis, and
Rockford, Ill These offices will be fit
ted out as soon as the factory can
complete the making Of the boxes. II
they prove in every way satisfactory
to the department and to the patrons
they will be placed In offices through
out the country, but not to the entire
exclusion of the lock boxes. 1t is the
belief of the postoffice department lock
experts that the keyless box will prove

brilliant opening for the winters sea-

has been a matter of disappointment
that New Haven has been obliged to
wait so long to hear this delightful
artist. Evan Williams sang here about
four years ago at the Gounod festival
in the armory in the production of Ros-
SIMS "Stabat Mater" with Klafskv
Plancon and Miss Stein. AT that time
he was new man and comparatively
unknown, He seemed then unfamiliar
with some portions Of the score and
little i'll at his ease But his singing
of the 'Cujus Amman" was q revela-
ton of the mans splendid possibilities
and it was an easy matter to prophesy
for him a brilliant future Thia has
been fully realized. At tho production
Of the Stanford Requiem last winter,
Mr.. Williams participation was fondly
anticipated and the illness which pre-
vented him was deeply regretted He
is sure to be heard to great advantage
al the symphony concert and no more
attractive name could have been secur-
ed 1t is clever stroke ON the part of
the management.
