The bill of yesterday contains several
turns" of exceptional merit. and others of
mediocre interest. The feature is the new
and original sketch by Edwin Browne and
company. 1t is captioned Love Wins"
and contains a good story only fairly well
told. Mrs. Browne is by all odds the best
performer. although her husband in
nair of excellent impersonations shows re-
markable versatility. The remainder OF

MRS. STEVENS SAVED 1T.
h Wouldn't Let Her Husband Vote
AgainSt Reform BILL.

Now that the county bill has passed, sto-
ries about it are cropping out, and from
one of them it would seem that the bill
was saved at one time by a woman. Rep
resentative Stevens did not like the bill and
had steadily refused to vote for it's engross-
ment. Member after member went to him
to plead with him to change his decision,
but to all he refused. One of the last to
go to him was Mr.. Noel, but Mr.. Stevens
likewise refused him.. Mrs. Stevens was
sitting near her husband and overheard Mr..
Noel's pleas. After Mr.. Noel had given UP.
Mrs. Stevens leaned over to her husband
and said PA, don't you vote with the Dem
ocrats."
Another attempt was made as the roll
call was proceeding to induce him to change
his mind, but again he refused, and just
before his name was reached, when all hope
had been given up, Mrs. Stevens again
leaned over and said Now. Pa, don't you
vote with the Democrats" and Mr.. Stevens
did not, and his vote came out AYE" The
vote was As to AZ. and had this vote been
lost the bill would have been killed on the
second reading. The Republicans say that
Mrs. Stevens saved the bill hat day.

Amended som ewhat.

The senators entered upon their last
weeks work yesterday morning with an ap-
parent determination to do some business
and, while nothing of a sensational charac-
ter was done, quite an amount of business
was disposed of. Among the important mat
tiers was the Introduction and passage OF
the indianapolis legalizing bill within five
minutes. Senator Hugg, in offering the bill,
explained to the Senate that a large num-
Der of Barrett law bonds were outstanding
on the strength of the former act, which
was passed and approved without having an
enacting clause in it. A suspension of the
rules being granted, the OLD bill was re-en-
acted and the acts of the city in issuing
paving bonds were legalized.
House bill No. $40, which allows the at
torney general to bring suits in the name
Of the State without giving bond, was the
first of what will probably be the last call
of House bills on second reading. 1t is
aimed at such institutions as the Roby race
track and other gambling establishments, in
prosecuting which the attorney general is
at present sometimes rendered helpless be-
cause of the impossibility Of securing bond
in the counties dominated by the gambling
influence. On motion Of Senator Drummond
the jill was dIIleIlutu ~ az " AO dllOW
the attorney general to interfere with the
prosecuting attorney in local suits. Other
bills advanced on second reading were:

the supply and fix rates for water furnished
by water companies.
H.. b. No. 23f. Providing for the inspec-
ton Of animal oil used by miners.

easy Yesterday.
The morning session of the House was a
play for time by the Republicans, and 1t
was successful. The Republicans were short
the votes of Mr.. Bonham and Mr.. Akin,
and they were uneasy. Mr.. Akin came in
before the hour was over, and 1t was de-
sired to postpone action thai might possibly
be taken on the county bill. Mr.. Ross and
Mr.. Clark were in their seats, and the
friends Of reform were on the defensive.
The lobby was the largest that has been
on hand at any time during the session and
every seat was filed and the space outside
the seats was crowded. County officers
were on hand in large numbers. and the
friends OF the county bill had rallied TO its
support as they have not done before. Be
tween the two factions the members were
pulled and hauled in every direction. Pres
sure was brought to bear by kilograms from
home. and during the session and the hour
preceding it messenger boys with kilograms
were constantly coming into the chamber.

and Representative Guilty was called on to
