| fused to entertain an appeal from his
decision excluding series of rules
regulating the procedure of the con-
ference and declaring the assembly

otherwise.
The anti-Quay republicans and dem
ocrats We're called together after the
| conference adjourned by Senator
Finn, of Allegheny (rep), chairman
of the anti-Quay organization in the

Mr.. Finn presented She report. 1t re-
cites the excluded rules and the right
to prescribe such, declaring that the
presiding officers action violated all
rules and precedents, and resolves that
''the joint assembly has the undoubt-
ed right to govern its own procedure
and to elect or change presiding Off
GER at pleasure" the same rules be
offered at Thursdays meeting of the
joint assembly and their consideration
demanded prior to any ballot for Uni
ted States senator.

explaining the resolutions Mr.. Finn
said there was no law or contSitution-
al mandate that allows the lieutenant
governor to preside at a joint assem-
bly, to elect a senator. 1t was simply
a matter of courtesy. The report was
adopted and copies were distributed
among the senators and representa-

IN spite of the ridicule that has been
cast upon it, the absurd practice of
providing costumes for canine pets
still prevails in Paris. In the windows
of the dog tailors may be seen little
astrakhan ovcrcoats with Innings OF
pink or blue satin and collars of ermine
or sheepsllin. For travelling there are
lighter wrappers fastened round the
waist, if dog has a waist, by belts of
tanned leather. Cambria shirts with
lace frillings are quoted at Is francs,

ACCORDING to statistics prepared by
the government of Sweden and Nor
way and sent to the state department
there are in use in the world l.2sS, 1863
telephones, the service covering a dis
tance of 1909, 499 miles. An idea OF
the extraordinary use of the telephone
in the United States is derived from
the fact that the figures credit this
country with more than half of the in
struments in use and the amount OF
the mileage of the whole world.

IN 1890 la grippe first attracted world
wide notice under that name Since
then hardly a year has passed that it's
attentions have not been pressed upon
mankind, until it is coming into the
front rank with consumption and pneu-
monia and diphtheria. What it is and
whence it comes and what to do with
it are questions the medical men are
pretty much at sea about. Some trace
a pretty close relationship between it
and what we used to call the "epizoo-
tic" others find it closely related to
epidcmics of influenza that are record
ed as far back as 1910; others find a
close resemblance in it to the dengue
or bre ak bone fever.

THE annual report of the interstate
commerce commission again calls at
tention to the defects of the law and
the inability to prevent the cutting of
rates by railroads. This cutting of
rates, the report alleges, fosters trusts
to the detriment of the small shipper.
An amendment to the law is asked al
lowing the railroads to combine under
proper supervision for the preservation
of rates.

ficted with the grippe is Kemps Balsam,
which is especially adapted to diseases Of
the throat and lungs. Do not wait for tho
first symptoms of the disease, but get bot
tie to-day and keep it on hand for use the
moment it is needed. If neglected the grippe
has tendency to bring on pneumonia. The
Balsam prevents this by keeping the cough
loose. All druggists sell the Balsam.

ESTIMATED.
The principal change made in the
customs duties was in the tax on tea,
which has yielded about $4,000 a
month. From internal revenue receipts
there should be deducted about $1O,-
100000 month, or about $60,000,000, as
there is fair ground for believing that
the war internal revenue taxes have
yielded about that much during the last
half of the calendar year. In addition,
$14.000,000 was paid into the treasury
on account of the Pacific railroad sale.

Guarding Against T1yIn uerms.

A village clergyman tells this story: He
was walking through the outskirts of his
parish one evening, when he saw one of his
tage. Pleased at these somewhat novel
signs of cleanliness, he called out: "Well,
Jones, | see you are making your house nice
and smart" With a mysterious air Jones,
who had recently taken the cottage, de-
scended from the ladder, and slowly walked
to the hedge which separated the garden
from the road. That's not 'xactly the rea-
son why I'm doing of this ere job" he
whispered, "but the last two couples as
lived in this ere cottage 'ad twins; so ! says
to my missus, I'll take an whitewash the
place, so as there mayn't be no infection. Ys
see, sir, as ow we got ten children already"
