QUAY TO BE SEATED


Wash. Cor. of the Chicago Tribune.
Senator Quay's friends here say he will
certainly be seated ON his certificate from
the governor of Pennsylvania, thus upset.
ting all recent presidents of the senate
The next Senate when organized in Deem
Der will be made up of fifty-one straight
Republicans, twenty-sfX Democrats and
nine independents, leaving four vacant
seats. Quays plan is said to be to have his
seat made party matter and he is sup
posed already to hsye a majority of the
fifty-one Republicans.
If he Is to be admitted 1t is reasonably
certain senator's will be seated on guberna-
toria1 certificates from Utah, California
and Delaware and hence the political con-
sideratfons are evenly balanced. 1t is
doubtful however if Quay can be seated
without long fight. The question of the
right to seat in the senate is one of the
highest privilege and there is no way to
prevent its consideration but the rules also
permit interminable debate and Quay is
likely to run against a Democratic and
Populist snag at almost any time.
With -four vacancies, a majority of the
senate will be forty-four and the opposi-
ton can muster only thlrty-five if all voted
against quay, winch IS lar from Hkely. Inc
Pennsylvania boss has been in the senate
since 1887 and during his twelve years
service has made friends Unfortunately
on both sides of the chamber and hence
1t will probably be found that a majority
of the older and more influential senators
will ork for him more or less opecly, in
spite OF the fact that many of them voted
in the Oregon, case on the other side CT the
question. 1t is believed here now that Quay
will be seated ultimately, followed by SINH
lar action on the other three vacancies but
all somewhat Ia te in the session and this
may cost Quay chairmanship.

UNCLE SANS WELCOME

Joe Lincoln in Rochester Times.
What? Here at last Come in, come in.
Well, Admiral how be yer?
Yer're welcome home from cross the foam
Were mighty glad ter see yer.
1t does seem good ter have yer back
With u.s. yer blood relations.
Yer'Ye been away 50 long, ter stay
Amongst them furren nations.
We've heard from yer quite frequent since
Yer took our Eastern tilIer;
We read it yit. that note yer writ
So plain upon Manila.
We liked that message that yer sent
Them folks who riz Yer dander
1t showed direct, we'd git respect
here you was our commander.
We sent yer off Commodore,
Few knowed or cared about It:
But now yer name is bright with fame
And all the world can shout it,
Yer went away an unknown man,
Yer public praise was-zero:
But now it's flung from every tongue,
You're back agin, a nero
Yer actions show us what yer be
A plain man, though bold ore;
They show us that yer wear a. hat
No bigger than yer old one.
We love yer. and alone because
Yer fought a fight and won ii;
1t seems ter me lots more ter be
The manly way yer done it.
No use, We Yankees like a man
Who's there all kinds err weathers-
Who doesn't shirk. but does his work
Without the fuss and feathers.
That's why, George Dewey, were here
terday,
Ter clasp yer hand and shake it.
With this address, THE h,il L. S.

Greatness OF IA Little Life

Flows copy?" The busy fellow in his
Shirt sleeves, rushing through his Work,
has asked the question of the copy
cutter" in the composing room, where the
printers are setting the paper, writes Jo-
siah Carter in the Atlanta Journal. 1t is
late, and every nerve is strained to the
utmost. Reporters are hurrying, telegraph
instruments are Gathering and whole banks
of copy are being fired up 10 the copy
cutters" desk.
Crowded to DEATH" comes the answer.
"AN right, III be up in a moment and
help you out"
In a little while the busy fellow in his
shirt sleeves is sorting a mass of copy,
leaving one story out of the paper entirely,
laying another aside to be "cut down"
tossing this and that onto the floor and
making space for the important news that
must go into the paper.
What is that loose sheet that he has
tossed aside? You pick it up and a glance
shows that it is headed with a single dine.
"A Baby's Death" How unimportant 1t
seems just three or four lines. Can suoa
news that crowd out the telegraph,
politics. police news, the long-drawn-out
Dreyfus trial or even the gay doings OF
society? 1t is only a baby-toss it on the
floor

REFLECTIONS OF a BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
No woman ever tells the truth about what
her clothes cost.
The women have got up a new story now
that girls feet are biggest at II and after
that get smaller.
When a girl begins to talk much about
her soul it makes you think that her stom-
aeh is out of order.
There are only two kinds of men in the
world; one is afraid of every woman, and
the other is afraid of no woman.
A girl Is never really satisfied with new
hat unless 1t looks either like an angels
wing or else like a cabbage.

TIME FOR srKINrING AGAIN

From the Macon (Ga) Telegraph.
The time is now rapidly approaching
when Aguinaldo will have to don his best
running shoes, pack up the necessary para

Wheeler, Lawton, Macarthur and the rest
at the head of 1900 American soldiers on
his trail there are heaps OF trouble ahead

SHORT STORIES
OF THE DAY

When George J. Gould made his last trip
through the far west in his private car.
Mrs Gould and his children accompanied
him. At point in New Mexico it was
necessary to add the Gould ear to a pas
senger train for a few hours. At an OBJ
a girl boarded the car by mistake, and were
not observed by the porter, says the Phil
adelphia Saturday Evening Post
When Mrs. Gould discovered them she
proceeded to make it agreeable for her
unbidden guests. She had a lunch pre-
pared for them. over which the woman
told her story. She was going to Las We
gas to attend the marriage of her eldest
daughter. One thing, however, was lacking
to her happiness. She was too poor to buy
her daughter a present.
what did you want to buy her?H asked
Mrs Gould.
81 had set my heart on brooch
Mrs Gould left the table and went to a
jewel case in the safe and brought out
handsome Oriental brooch from the Worlds
fair-a gorgeous piece of enamel work
fringed with stones and made of gold
would this do?" she asked smiling
The woman almost cried with pleasure.
But can you spare it?' she inquired.
ut must be worth So or s6''
Mrs Gould treasured her on that point
and the luncheon was resumed. When
the train reached Las Vegas it was diff
cult to tell who was the more astonished,
a thin young woman on the platform,
whose eyes were dazzled by a hundred
dollar brooch, or the train conductor, who
saw for the first time the passengers in
the private car and TUNED pale when he
thought of the consequences

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
AND ELSEWHERE

"The indications are unmistakable that
the state fair at Birmingham in November
will be the most successful fair Alabama
has ever had" said President Caffee yes
terday afternoon. at will be a great ex-
hibition, and the attractions will draw
visitors from all over the state; and every
body in Birmingham will find the enter
tainment irresistibly attractive. Counting
upon the cordial support and attendance of
the people of this city, we are devoting
ourselves towards enlisting the attention
and practical support of the people of all
the counties. The Midway will in itself
be worth more than the cost of a trip to
Birmingham" Judge Caffee will from now
until the fair opens spend nearly his en-
tire time in Birmingham, laboring for the
great exhibition. He is a man of great
business sagacity and restless energy, and
his election as president of the fair has
given the most widespread satisfaction.
His personal influence and his reputation
as successful man of affairs are enviable,
and the fair directors have done no wiser
thing than his election to the presidency
He is an inspiration to effort within him
self.
