Col. Bright does not state in his report

ice water and three tumblers. Probably
that is a matter dependent entirely upon
the president or the humor the ex-
ecutive, whoever he may be, Is In at
the time Of his visit. In the marble room
proper, where senators usually deign to
give their constituents the gleeful hand
Col Bright's report informs one that
there is a clock, just an ordinary clock,
one table, five mahogany chairs, two
leather-eovered sofas, one bronze urn.
linen curtains, ten leather-covered chairs,
one bronze statute of Lincoln (only one

eter. The chronometer, thermometer and
barometer are probably the most useful
Of the furnishings of this room.
Many of the senators possess valuable
timepieces, and each day at noon they
front the chronometer. which is regulated
by wire connected with the naval observa-
tory, to ascertain whether their watches
are carrying the time correctly according
to the official time as indicated by the
chronometer. If one can get into the
marble room just about the dot Of IL
o'clock, noon, he will be apt to observe
more senators gathered about the chron-
ometer watches in hand, than he could
at any other portion of the day. The
chronometer has g greater fascination for
the majority Of the senators than the
chaplains prayer, which, as every one
knows, is delivered daily at the stroke
of IL. Generally speaking the chaplain
audience consists almost entirely of en-
ployes Of the senate. They are paid to
be on duty, and so Is the chaplain for
the matter of that The senators do not
have any such compulsion laid upon
them. absent from prayers Is not
scored as demerit.

The following story is told of the late
Lady Howard de Walden of England: On
one occasion she had little wager with
her neighbor Lady Emily Foley, based
on her firm belief that the rustics OF
WorCesterst IRE We're more polished IN
their manners than those of Hereford
shire. A fitting opportunity to solve the
question soon occurred. The two ladies
went for an afternoon drive in a pony
cart. Presently they reached a closed
gate. which was civilly opened for them
by a laboring lad. Il am sure" said
Lady Howard de Walden, as she gave
the boy a siXpence, you are not a Here
fordshire boy" Thou beest a loiar,"
replied the boy, "Ovm a Worcestershire
lad" That settled the question.

Columbia, S. c., Aug. 2.-Attorney Cen
eral Bellinger to-day notified 3. L. Abney,
attorney for The Columbia Water Power
Company, owners of the canal and power
house, that, on complaint and demand of
several citizens interested, he would begin
legal proceedings to determine not only
whether the canal company should not be
forced 10 complete the canal to Rocky
Branch, one and a half miles beyond its
present terminus but the owners having
failed to 50 extend under provision of IN
act of 1887, but also why the whole prop
erty should not revert to the state as pro-
vided in that act.
The canal was recently sold on the power
secured by w. B. S. Whaley of Columbia
and Mr.. Cocker of Darlington. The Old own
ers have to protect their interests. The
suit is intended to settle the question and
give satisfaction to those citizens appeal
ing annually to the legislature for redress.

Gen. Merritt Discusses Him and tn
Philippine Situation

PIattsburg. y. Y, Aug. 21.-At the close
of his interview with President Mckinley
Gen. Merritt said:
so far as I know, there viii be no
immediate change in military commanders
in the Philippines. Gen. Otis, whom I re-
gard as one of the most capable and ef-
hc.ent officers in the service, Will continue
in charge of the American forces.
with an efficient force Of. say, 50,00J
troops, believe he will be able to put
down the rebellion. Just how much time
viii be required, however, ! cannot say.
Aguinaldo and his men have put up a
much better fight than I thought them
capable of at the outset, but there can
be but one outcome to the conflict, a com
plete victory for American arms. 1 can
now but repeat what I have said time and
again, that the instruction would have
been broken ere this had 1t not been for
the moral support which Aguinaldo and
his men have received from the United
States. The delay in the notification or
the peace treaty, coupled with the impo-
tent opposition to the administrators
policy in the far East, did more TO en-
courage Aguinaldo and his followers than
anything else. However, this is an event
Of the past and must be considered as
such.
There remains but one thing to do
that is to carry the conflict to a success
full conclusion. This result will, l be
lieve, soon be accomplished by Gen. Otis
and the corps of capable assistants as
signed to his command

Why She s4ot -tha Doll.

4 queer old man once made a tea party for all the little girls in our town; and, when they were all gather ed in his front yard, in white dresses and carefully tied sashes, he offered doll for the most popular little girl in the crowd.
 But half the children did not know what most popular meant. So he told them it was the best-liAed little girl. All the children voted, and Mary Blain got the doll. Mary was not the pret- tiest nor the eleyerest of the children, but she got the doll.
 Now" said the queer old man, T will give another doll to the one that first tells me why you all like Mary the best.''
 Nobody answered at first. But pres sntly Fanny Wilson said, Its because Mary always finds out what the rest of Us want to play, and then says, Let's play that'"
 The old gentleman said that was the best reason he had ever heard.

cleveland,a Fair Flower.


 During MT. Gleyeland's tour of the south shortly after his marriage, Mrs. Cleveland and he were driving one day through the streets of one of the larger towns, escorted by two of its citizens. Some one threw a bunch of yiolets to Mrs. Cleveland, and MT. Cleveland bent forward to catch it, remarking as he presented it: q won der why no one gives me fiowers?"
 One of the gentlemen present gal la y replied: We think you have won the fairest flower in the land!"
 "Ah, yes" returned the president, but you see, can't keep her in water"
 Tt is not necessary. since you keep her in such excellent spirits. was the reply.
 Here Mrs. Cleveland interposed, say ing: T am afraid you are guilty of fattery," whereupon came the reply:
 No, madam; fattery is fulsome compliment. and in this instance no compliment could be either too frank or too fulsome!n The charm of this response lies in the last and fourth from the last words, Mrs. Clevelands maiden name being Frances Folsom Ladies Home Journal.

 Before the time of bells various in struments were used to summon con- gregations to worship In Egypt they are said to have followed 8 Jewish GUS tom in using a trumpet Tn some Orr
 iental churches kind Of rattle gave the signal In mouRsteIies monks took it in turn to go round the cells. calling the inmates to their deyotiens by knocking with a hammer, which was called the awakening instru- ment." Bells of one kind or another are, however, of very great antiquity. having been used in religious cere- monies by many of the ancient nations as means of honoring their gods and summoning them to the feasts. For example, the feast of Osiris and Isis was always announced by bells. Pliny says that bells were In use long before his time, being called sTin tin nabula. :" The use of small bells (nolae) in Eng land, says William of Malmesbury, may be traced back as far as the fifth century, and it is clear from Bede that even those of the larger kind (cam- panae), such as sounded in the air and called numerous congregation to di- vine service, were employed in Eng land as early as the year 680, being that in which the Abbot Hilda died.

Justice for the wives.


 You can stand by now for whole lot of gags in the newspapers about the bum cigars, the unsmokable pipes. and the delirium tremens neckties bought by wives as Christmas presents for their husbands" said a department clerk whose speciality is puncturing current fallaeies to his own satisfac- tion. Its about time this partieu- lar brand of Christmas humor were shelved. I've made careful canvass on the subject. and I have ascertain ed, after questioning all the men I know, that the Christmas cigars pur- chased by women for their husbands are generally about five times as good as the husbands are used to; that the Christmas present pipes assay three times as high as the ordinary pipes bought by the husbands. I've got one myself that my wife bought for me Christmas present three years ago, and it's as sweet as nut at the present moment; and, finally, that Ehe neckties given as Christmas pres ents to husbands bg their wives are. in nine cases out of ten, the acme of taste and judgment in selection. New ertheless, l suppose this especial brand of joke will go on outliving it's truth, as so many others do"
