A New Use for Oilc1oth.

Oilcloth is the newest material for
''papering" ceilings, and it is admirable
for the purpose. The task of putting
it up requires an expert, for the joining,
is by no means an easy matter. The
patterns of oilcloths, with their scroll
and line effects, are particularly suita-
BILE for ceiling decoration, for they do
not conflict with the decoration of the
walls. Every housewife will appre-
ciate the advantage of a ceiling covered
with oilcloth, for she knows how dust
from the floor and smoke from the
lamps fly upward and accumulate on
the ceiling, necessitating, under ordin-
airy circumstances, frequent white
washing. With oilcloth instead Of pa
per, the cleaning of the ceiling would
be done by the maid when she turned
OUT a room, and the cost would be
merely that of little soapy water and
a certain amount of elbow grease.

Attention for Lamps.

Unfortunately for the busy woman a
lamp needs more attention than any
other form of light, and many women
know but little of the best methods
of giving. If lamp chimneys are
cleaned with a cloth dipped in alcohol
instead of soap and water the result is
better, and if the wicks are soaked in
strong vinegar and thoroughly dried
before being used there will be no
smoke. The burners will become
clogged in the course Of time, and ought
to be treated to a ten minutes boiling
in quart of water in which an ounce
of washing soda has been dissolved.
Wipe with a cotton cloth. and they
will be as good as new. This really
ought to be done every month.

MEETS AGAIN TONIGHT
WHEN THE AMENDMENT WILL
BE ADOPTED.
THREE rFTHs OF EACH HOUSE VOTED AYE
The amendment Will be Substantially that Re-
ported from Comm ttee, the Changes
ifAny Will Effect Details


The Democratic joint caucus decided
last night to submit the constitutional
amendment to the people.
The following resolution, drafted by
Judge Connor, was passed by the eau
Gus:
"Resolved, That it is the sense of the
Democratic caucus to submit a constitu-
tional amendment on the subject of suf-
frage to vote of the people at the next
general election"
The vote on this resolution was by a
separate roll call, the Senate voting
first. Every Senator present voted for
the resolution. The House voted at
the completion Of the Senate roll call.
More than the requisite three-tifths
of the total membership Of each house
voted for the resolution.
This settles two questions definitely:
A constitutional amendment will be
submitted.
1t viii be submitted at the general
election in 1900.
As to the nature of the amendment
nothing was determined at the caucus
last night beyond the general fact thar
it will be substantially the same as that
submitted by the committee and printed
in this paper on last Sunday.
Some minor changes will probably be
made, but they will effect details only
and viii in no wise change the nature
and scope of the amendment. There
may be some changes of dates.
The caucus will meet again tonight
to perfect the amendment and formally
adopt it. The resolution OF last night
settled all but the mere form Of voting.
There was no opposition to the adop-
ton of an amendment, and the caucus
was harmonious throughout. There was
Il free interchange of opinions. the keen"
est interest being manifested.
1t is expected that the amendment, aft
ter receiving the final stamp of approval
tonight will be submitted to the House
within the next few days, and it is not
improbable that it will pass both houses
within the week.
Some of the finest speeches of the
session were made in the caucus, ana
the amendment and possible develop
mentS were fully discussed. Among
those who spoke were Senators Glenn,
Eaves and Bryan and Representatives

NORWOOD's IMPEACHMENT.
Discussed Yesterday by the House Judi
ciary Committee.

Discussed Yesterday by the House Juul-
ciary Committee.
The Judiciary Committee of the House
had under consideration at their meeting
yesterday evening the resolution of Mr..
Curtis, of Buncombe, to investigate the
conduct of Judge Norwood. The resOlu-
ton sets forth the conduct of Judge Nor
wood in being publicly drunk; the fact
of his resignation and the appointment
and election of a successor; his conten-
ton that he is still the judge of the 18th
Judicial district, and directs the
committee to ascertain the facts
and report to the House such action as
the committee deems the facts and the
laws applicable thereto demand.
When the resolution was taken up sew
eral days ago, Judge Norwood was mott
fed that the resolution would be con
sdered by the committee on yesterday
and if he so desired he could be repre-
sented before the committee at that time
Messrs. Garland Ferguson and Robert
@esiInrerst OF WaynesviIle. were present
and stated the contention of Judge Nor
wood They took the position that
Judge Norwood was not exercising the
functions of judge of the Twelfth Ju
dicial district; that Judge Moore was
holding the courts assigned to the Judge
of that district; that suit having been
instituted against Norwood by Moore
the Legislature should leave the matter
entirely for the courts.
Their contention was supplemented by
the argument of Mr.. L. d. Winston
member of the House from BERTHE, stat
ed that the first inquiry should be wheth
er or not Norwood is Judge-and thai
there were those who contended thai
Norwood had resigned; was not now the
Judge of the Twelfth district, and there
fore he should not be impeached by this
Legislature-that not being Judge il
would be a vain thing to attempt i'm
peachment. Mr.. Winston proposed thai
the Governor be called on for such eyi
dence as be had in his possession rela
tive to Judge Norwood resignation
Mr.. Curtis, who introduced the reso
luton, stated that he had the most kind
ly feelings for Judge Norwood, but thai
he promised his people that he would dc
what he could to remove from the bench
one who, because of his drunkenness
had brought shame and disgrace to the
State.
Judge Connor took the position that
the resignation of Norwood placed in
the hands of Col. Lusk to be delivered
to Governor Russell at such time as he
should be publicly drunk, under the con-
ditions and circumstances under ~which
the same was given, was not legally a
resignation. and that for that reason he
was Judge; and that it was therefore a
question for the Legislature to consider
what action should he taken in view OF
all the facts
Mr.. Craig was Of the same opinion,
and forcibly enforced this view of the
matter. The facts set forth in the resO-
luton and the legal questions involved
were discussed by Messrs. Rountrcc
Justice. Council, Ray, Foushee and
others. \ subcommittee, consisting of
MossrS Rountree, Foushee and Council
was appointed 10 investigate the ques-
tious of law involved in the matter. 1t
was decided to take up the resolution
on Friday evening for final disposition.
