bill
A number of members called atten-
ton to the fact that two years ago
there was only one stenographer for the
entire Senate, and that the business
went merrily along, whereas at the
present session five were employed ana
more were demanded. 1t was urged
that none of the five were busy fourth
of the time, and that it would be
waste of money to employ another.
Wolfe said that while he did not OBJ
ject to Morehouse having a steno-
grapher he (Wolfe) would also demand
a like place for a young lady in whom
he felt friendly interest, in case the
pending resolution was adopted.
Smith said the election of one addi-
tional attache meant to insert wedge
which would throw wide the door.
Wolfe said that while he was willing
to vote for the extra stenOgrapher he
would positively use the action for a
wedge in order to get in his particular
candidate.
Ashe, who was the author of the res
oluticn, said that the Republicans GER
tainly owed the minority something,
inasmuch as the minority had made it
possible to elect any other than statu-
tory officers.
Curtin and Burnett said it was i'm
peratively necessary that the County
Gov overnment Committee have a steno-
grapEer.
The report of the committee was
finally adopted by a vote of u to o,

Day-Newspaper Claims.
Immediately upon the regular open
ing of the Assembly the regular order
of business was taken up, and the first
order under which business was done
was that of reports of standing COM
mittees, which follow here:
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.
Johnson, Chairman, reported back
adversely the following bills:
Devoto's A. B. POI, amending the
Code of Civil Procedure relating to the
appointment of administrators of de-
ceased persons; E. D. Sullivan's A. B.
472, amending the Code of Civil Pro-
cedure relating to the administration
of deceased persons; Whites A. BIS
473 and 474, also relating to Public
Administrators and to deceased per-
sons estates; O'Brien's A. B. 496, re-
lating to the same.
CHURCH EXEMPTION.
Judiciary also reported on the Senate
amendment to A. C. A. 6. relating to
the exemption of churches and chapels
from taxation, recommending that the
House non-concur in that amendment.
It will be remembered that the Senate
desired to amend so that persons rent
ing buildings for religious purposes ana
receiving a revenue therefor should not
be exempt from taxation This thought
was, however, so ambiguously ex-
pressed in the amendment as presented
that the Judiciary sought to have the
House non-concur in order that it might
be reconstructed. Accordingly that com
mittee recommended the appointment
of a joint committee of six, three to
be from the Assembly and three from
the Senate, to consider the amendment.
The Speaker appointed Johnson, Boone
and Works, and later the President OF
the Senate appointed Senators Gillette,
Wolfe and Ashe. The conference OF
this committee resulted in a recon-
mendation to the House to accept the
Senate amendment, with side remark
from johnson to the effect that it was

A BOER COURTSHTP.
THE MANNER IN WHICH A YOUNG MAN
OF THE TRANSYAAL CHOOSES
HIS LADY LOVE.

HIS LADY LOVE.
A traveller recently returned from the Transvaal
tells the following amusing story Of Boer court
ship
Early one evening young on horseback
dashed up to the door OF his sweethearts home He
wore a new suit of clothes and long ostrich
plume which would have been the envy Of an
American girl decorated his hat Before alighting
he pranced and capered up and down before the
door and put his horse through all the fine tricks
he had taught him.
Having consigned his horse to Of the Hot
tentots he walked up and down before the win
dows of the house. knowing that action would
be lost upon his lady love. who was sure TO be
peering through the blinds. After a time he
strutted into the house and shook hands with
'Tanta' the mother. with 'Oom,' the father, with
the brothers and sisters. and, last Of ALL with the
girl he had come 10 court His greeting TO each.
C;uten dag was the same The father pointed to
a seat and said Site. Every one appeared un-
comfortable except the suttor, upon whose features
rested look OF proud self-assurance
Queries regarding the cattle, the crops and the
health Of various members of each family were
interspersed by brief replies and sppings OF coffee
which had been brought in soon after the arrival
Of the guest. .
suddenly the suitor arose and handed the
'lachergoot (cOnfectiOns) the OF his choice.
She received II with bashful laugh and rosy
blush That settled the question, for with the sweet
she accepted the giver After that the talk flowed
more volubly and loud Outbursts or laughter SHOOK
the rafters until one by every member OF the
family left the room except the lovers. But with
the wise foresight OF a Boer mother, the tante
made a mark upon the candle, explaining 10 the
Young man that his visit might last until the candle
burned to that point. This. In the land OF the
Beers is command that is not disregarded by the

problems of Cuba would solve themselves.
Cubd's salvation depends upon the prosperity Of
her farmers Secretary Root pointed out the de-
plorable condition Of great part of Cubas popu-
lation to-day in his annual report, which
published on December l. In his report Mr.. Root
said: Many OF the Cuban people. who ready
and anxious resume the cultivation of their
farms with their own hands, still unable to do
so because they have not the 10 purchase the
necessary animals and agricultural implements for
that purpose" II any higher authority than that
is needed, here is what President Mckinley said
IN his annual message to Congress on December s.:
The greatest blessing which TO Cuba is
the restoration Of her agricultural and industrial
prosperity. which will give employ 10 idle men
and re-establsh the pursuits Of peace This Is her
chief and immediate need"
There is widespread impression in this country
that the Government Is doing everything that Is
needed TO be done for the Cuban people: that the
Government Is giving to the poor farmers work
oxen farming tools and seeds, and that thousands
Of farmers have been helped back their farms
in that way. That is absolutely a wrong impress
sion The Government has not provided much
as one farmer with work oxen agricultural impe
ments seeds and domestic supplies with which to
rebuild his ruined home and reclaim his IDLE fields.
II has not been empowered 70 do so. The Govern
ment has done nothing than give army
rations the starving. The farmer cannot plough
his fields with hardtack and he cannot plant
canned beef.
