Of the debate upon the bill for the re-
organization and increase of the regu-
lar army in the house passed without
notable incident It's feature was an
hours speech by Mr.. Grosvenor, Of
Ohio whose utterances, rightly or
wrongly, are frequently supposed to
reflect the views OF the president. Mr..
Grosvenor declared most emphatically
that the present situation in the Phil
ippines was due to the opposition in
this country TO the ratification of the
peace treaty. He announced that the
future OF the islands was matter for
congress to decide and that for the
president to announce policy would
be for him to usurp the authority of
congress, The friends of the bill con-
tinue to express great confidence in
the passage of the bill, but they admit

tiOn Of the Army.

Washington, Jan. a. In the senate
yesterday Mr.. Platt, of New York, and
Mr.. Berry, Of Arkansas, each gave no.
tice OF a speech on Mr. Vests anti-ex.

Illinois, announced that the next day

saw nations Ia the Indian territory
was passed.
The pension appropriation bill was
taken up at the instance OF Mr. Per-
kins, of California, in charge OF the
measure, and it was read. The bill
appropriates $l45, 1888, $50.
Mr.. Sullivan, OF Mississippi, offer ed
an amendment providing that no pen

Mr.. Perkins made the point Of order

clared that mot single southern

Further along Mr. Butler said,
speaking Of the war Of the rebellion:
ut was most unnecessary wgr The
southern states did not desire the war.
They asked only to be allowed to en-
ercise their constitutional rights and
peacefully from the nnion.
The south was right and history will

light at the time and she knows 1t

people not to permit prejudiced his

believed that the states whose soldiers
we're being pensoned would not object

Julius Caesar.

of all great con4uerors, writes
Marion Crawford in "Studies
From the Chronicles of Rome,"
he was The least cruel, for he never
sacrificed human life without the
direct intention Of benefting
mankind by an increased social
stability. Of all great lawigvers,
he was the most wise and just, and
the truths he set down in the
Julian code are the foundation OF
modern Justice. OF all great men
who have leaped upon the world
as upon an unbroken horse, who
have guided it with relentless
hands and ridden it breathless to
the goal Of glory, Caesar is the only
one who turned the race into the
track Of civilization and, dying,
left mankind future in the
memory of his past. He is the one
great man of all without whom
it is impossible to imagine history.
We caunot take him away and yet
leave anything Of what we have.
The world could have been as tits
without Alexander, without
Napoleon. It could not have been
the world we know without Caius
Julius Cesar.

the streak is first formed it is
narrow and perfectly straight,
but it soon becomes serpentine and
assumes an irregular figure as it
drifts along under the influence of
the wind currents in the upper
region of the atmosphere. The
streaks are of various colors, owing
partly to substances and partly to
their altitude. Some are of q
delicate greenieh hue, while others
light up the skies with q ruddy
glow. Streaks of orange, red,
white and blush white commlngle
to form a moet remarkable and
beautiful spectacle. Occasionally
an orangecolored meteor may be
observed leaving in it's wake a
streak of green. A popularity of
the November meteors is that the
nucleus shoots ahead of the streak
before vanishing. The individual
mieteors vary greatly in size. Some
:of the larger of the motors appear
to be half the size of the moon.
Interspersed with the meteoroids
is an occasional fireball, which, in
bursting, causes shadows to be cast
upon the ground, 80 intense is the
light generated for the moment
There is no reason that in such
instances as this the sound OF

Clemson-The Rich and the Poor.
Clemson it is said is the poor mans

But the rich man alone can SEND
And the poor man pays the taxes;
Which makes his back bone bend.
Clemson was founded as the poor mans

For 1t only enables the rich man
To educate his children cheap.
The poor man is barred by the expense

For this he can pay but little
To the rloh this is o light load,
But the poor man pays the fiddle.

And you will see for the poor
Clemson will not do.
So there are the rich and here are the

But the majority are able to open the

The Falling Stars.

"We are unable to predict the
exact hour at which the November
meteoric showers will begin. But
It is estimated that the showers
will reach their maximum
brilliancy at 1 o'clock a. m., the
morning of November f5.
Althogh these meteorids revolve
around the sun in definite orbit,
the point of their intersection with
the ordit of the earth moves for
ward at the rate OF a degree and a
half per year, thus throwing the
advent of the meteors few hours
later at each succeeding fall. For
example, the fall of 1888 occurred
on the night of November 13; the
fall of 1899 will take place on the
evening of the 18th of November,
and will probably be of some hours
duration. It will be visible
throughout the whole of the North
American continent and ID EuroPe
and Asia.
ORIGIN OF THEIR NAME.
"The November meteors receive
the name of Leonids from the fact
that thep seem to pouraa out from
that part of the heavens wherein
is located the constellation of Leo.
When this constellation is at it's
zenith, it is almost overhead at
Washington. In weight these
meteors vary from few
grains to many pounds. They
strike the earth's atmosphere, and
begin to burn at the height OF
seventy-four miles, and are
generally entirely consumed at a
height of fifty miles.
"The phenomenon of a great
meteoric shower is generally 6
perfectly noiseless one. Wher

INITIATED Body Enrnd-

A portion OF a mans body iIoated up
with the tide at New York the other
morning and bumped against the piles
OF the Crescent Athletic club landing
at Bay Ridge. Fred Johnson. who is
employed as Waterman by the club,
went down to the landing at 7:45
o'clock to give his dog bath. He saw
the fragment Of the body in the water
and hurried back TO the club house TO
notify the police. In response to john
sons notification. first one policeman
came down to the landing and then an
other. Meanwhile a crowd had gath
cred, and in order to get the object
away from the crowd and to keep it
from floating out into midstream the
policemen got into a boat and toved
the fragment TO the foot of Seventy
ninth street. Later they reported at
the police station that a part Of a
mans body from the neck to a point
below the knees had been found off
Bay Ridge; that it was badly decom-
posed, and had been in the water a
long time. The fragment was head
less and armless. The cuts at the
neck and shoulders seemed to be
clean, but the police do not suspect
foul play. There was absolutely no
clothing on the fragment nor any
marks which would make identifica-
ton possible.
