A Successful ShOwer-Bath.

A Scotchman was once ADVISED to take
shower-baths. A friend explained to him
how to fit up one by the use of a cistern
and colander, and Sandy accordingly set
to work, and had the thing done at once.
Subsequently, he was met by the friend
who had given him the advice, and being
asked how he enjoyed the bath, Man"
said he, sit was fine. liked it rale weel,
and kept myself quite dry, too" Being
asked how he managed to take the
shower and yet remain quite dry, he re-
piled: Gracious, ye dlnna, surely, think
was sac daft as stand ALLOW the water
withoot an umbrella p Tit Bits.

Modification.

One day little son Of the Rev. T. V.
Gardiner was playing with some boys
who had a cart, and they wanted dog
to draw it. Papa says we must pray
for what we want" said the minister's
son, and he kneIt down and said, 20
Lord, send us dog to draw our cart"
In little while big one came along
that frightened them, and they began to
cry. A second time the boy knelt, but
this time he prayed. 20 Lord, we don't
want dog!"-[Chicago Record.

Not Fully Appreciated.

+ UNDOUBTEDLY Col. Theodore
Roosevelt is right in his state
ment in an article in Scribner's
for March that the work of the rsgu'ar
troops in the late war was not fully ap-
preciated. He says: THE newspaper
press failed to do full justice to the
white regulars, in my opinion. from the
simple reason that everybody knew
that they would fight, whereas there
had been a good deal of question as to
how the rough riders who were volun-
teer troops, and the Tenth cavalry. who
were colored, would behave: so there
was a tendency to exalt our deeds at the
expense of those of the First regulars,
whose courage and good conduct were
taken for granted. 1t was a trying
fight beyond what the losses show, for
it is hard upon raw soldiers to be pit
ted against an unseen foe and to ad-
vance steadily when their comrades are
falling around them, and when they
can only occasionally see chance to
retalate"

An AguinaIdo Admirer.

- OWN WILDMAN. vice consul
l. general of the United States at
Hong Kong, contributes to Har-
pers Weekly sketch of Emilio Aguin-
aldo, the insurgent leader, gained from
personal acquaintance. Mr.. Wildman
says:
"Aguinaldo is not a Napoleon nor a
washington: neither is he Tecumseh
or Sitting Bull. He is Aguinaldo and
MS name stands for no metaphor He
has the astuteness of his race; the fear
less bravery of the savage warrior and
the sphinxlike imperturbabiity of the
Indian; the straightforwardnes of a
child and the innate sense of Justice
that characteriZes all aboriginal races
1t may be premature to sum up a
mans character while his career is at
the zenith. Aguinaldo as he is TODAY
commands the admiration and respect
OF all who have taken the trouble to
study his character and watch the
trend of events in which he is the GEN.
trail figure. Aguinaldo accepted the
grave responsibility of being the spon-
sor of peace. order and good name of
his people. Why he has been assaled
and maligned so often in public print
1t was beyond my ability to explain to
him. What l said to Aguinaldo at
Malolos and what he said to me is i'm
material. 1t served to assist me to
judgment of his character I have
taken Aguinaldo as he takes himself
seriously-and it is the highest compli
ment l can pay him and the only way
l know Of to do justice to a man whose
achievements stand pre-eminent in
aboriginal warfare in the worlds his
tory"
There seem to be a great many con-
Trajectory estimates of Aguinaldo made
by various writer's. Possibly there are
several Aguinaldos; or perhaps there
are several sides to Aguinaldo's char
acter.

TWELVE PAGES.
To Break DeadlockS.

q ENATOR HOAR has introduced a
~ bill in the United States senate
relating to the election of sena-
tors. 1t is bill undoubtedly suggested
by the several deadlocks existing at
this time in state legislatures with
prospects of no senator being elected.
The senator's plan for breaking dead
locks is simple. The bill proposes to
substitute plurality for majority vote in
joint conventions al sufficient for maxi
ing choice of senator, provided a SEN
ator has not been elected by majority
vote after seven days of balloting It
provides that if no person shall have
received majority after seven sepa-
rate ballots in joint assembly, one of
such ballots at least having been taken
on each of seven separate days, the
person who receives a plurality of all
the votes cast on the next ballot, or
if there be no plurality. on the first
subsequent ballot where any person
shall have a plurality, a majority of
all the members of both houses being
present and voting, shall be declared
duly elected.
The law proposed by Senator Hoar,
which has been referred to the COM
mittee on privileges and elections,
would be effective so far as breaking
senatorial deadlocks is concerned, but
dt is not apparent that it would have
any effect in stopping the disreputable
methods by which senators are now
sometimes elected. Senator Hoar
would come closer to the sentiments Of
vast majority of the people of the
United States if he would take the il
itiative in a movement to have sana-
tors elected by a direct vote of the
people.

Refused to Ratify.

x AGASTA'S resignation is likely
~ to bring fresh complications re-
specting the Philippines. A dis
patch says that he has handed in his
resignation, but that it is hoped that if
VIII not be accepted. The ministerial
lists have despaired of getting a major
lty in the chambers TO ratify the treaty
with the United States. They don't
like the idea of ceding the Philippines
and won't vote for the ratification of
the treaty if that clause remains in 1t.
The queen regent has one advantage
over President Mckinley. She has the
power of ratifying the treaty herself
without asking for the consent of the
chambers. She preferred that the
chambers ratify the treaty which would
throw the odium on the representatives
OF the people instead of on the queen.
since the chambers will not ratify the
treaty she will probably dissolve them
and assume the responsibility herself
This will give the Carlists a chance to
make a hit. The queen regent could
nave attached her signature to the doc
umeht weeks ago, but she had given
notice that she would first submit the
treaty to the cortes.
Iechnleally. therefore, the Philip
pines are still in the possession of Spain
so are Cuba and Porto Rico, although,
they have been abandoned and the
Spanish troops that occupied them have
returned to Spain.
Another complication appears from a
dispatch of yesterday. The Fiupinos
refuse to release the Spanish prisoners
who are in their custody. They demand
S,00O,o00 for them, which is undoubt
eddy far in excess Of what they can be

Peculiar Legislation.

n : EARLY all of the state legisla-
M lures in session all over the
country will adjourn this week,
in most states the sessions being lin
tied by statute to period of sixty days
The populistc features which have en-
lvened former sessions have to a large
extent been missing this year. but new
ertheless there has been good deal of
peculiar legislation in various states
and in some cases very peculiar laws
have been enacted.
In the Wisconsin legislature a bill has
been. introduced for the protection of
misses. old maids and married women"
1t makes tisht-lacing a misdemeanor
and provides penalty for all who prac-
tice it, but doesn't name the critic who
shall be selected to decide whether
woman is laced tight or not.
An Illinois legislator has introduced a
bill prohibiting the use of women's pic
lures either in newspapers or posters
for advertising purposes.
In Kansas a bill has been introduced
regulating prices to be charged by bar
bers.
In Colorado a bill has been introduced
requiring that Spanish be taught in our
public schools. It is represented that
Spanish is much spoken in the south
western states and with the annexation
of Cuba Porto Rico and the Philippines
the Spanish language would be of more
tAro ,.ttf Tool
than any other foreign language.
The Minnesota legislature has passed
law prohibiting members of the legis-
lature and judges from accepting rail-
road passes.
Various bills of curious interest are
now before the Texas legislature. for
they are designed to get rid of a pc
culiar pest. Millions of dollars in grass
and forage are destroyed every year in
that state by prairie dogs. The situa-
ton is said to be one of great gravity.

SchurZ as a Politician,

u T New York tonight a banquet
I is to be given in honor of the
I seventeen birthday of Carl
Schurz. For several years little has
been heard of the distinguished liter
airy man who entered politics and be-
came the acknowledged leader of the
independent voters. Mr.. Schurz came
TO America in early manhood during
the revolution in Baden in 1898, an es-
capped political prisoner. He went TO
Milwaukee and soon attained distinc-
tion as scholarly man of marked
ability, fully conversant with both the
German and the English languages. He
advocated Lincoln's election and was
rewarded by nomination as minister
TO Spain. The war soon broke out. he
resigned, returned home and was made
a major general of volunteers.
Schurz was personally brave man
but he was markedly unsuccessful as
soldier. His division of Towards CORPS
was utterly routed by Jackson's sur
prise at Charlottesville in May. 1868;
his division of the Eleventh corps failed
to distinguish itself at Gettysburg.
After the war he was for time en-
gagged In business. but drifted into
journalism and then into politics. He
was senator from Missouri for six
years. In 1872 he became Il leader of
''mugwumps," but supported Hayes in
1876 and was made secretary Of the
interior. When his term expired he
went into journalism in New York CITY
and his sharp criticisms were the means
of defeating Blaine for president in
1884
Schurz while usually republican,
was decidedly independent in politics.
He supported Lincoln and advocated
Grants election in 1868. but was for
Greeley in 1872 He supported Hayes
5n 1876, but Cleveland in 1884, 1883 and
1892. He favored McKinleys election.
but is now bitterly opposed to the
presidents expansion policy, although
agreeing with him on financial ques-
tions.
Schurz undoubtedly welded a strong
Influence among the Independent voters
of New York state through the columns
of the Evening Post and through his
personal influence. He gained respect
as man sincere in his convictions and
one who could not be bound to any
party when he believed the party to be
