\ ) - j sts Fight For Lower
Tax.

The Washington Times, Of
Thursday evening, says: BY the
vote OF the Republican members OF
the Ways and Means Committee,
this morning, Chairman Payne was
ordered to report the bill for the
reduction OF the war revenue pre-
pared by the Republican members.
The Democrats refrained from
voting. But one change was made
in the bill, the clause postponing
the taking of effect OF the bill for
thirty days after its passage being
stricken out on motion OF Mr..
Hopkins Of Illinois, with the re-
suit that the till will take effect
Immediately on its becoming
law.
The Democrats did all they
could to secure further reductions
in the war tax. but all their mo-
tions failed. Representative Rich
ardson, OF Tennessee, moved that
the tax on beer be made 81 fiat in
stead OF So, with a 40 per cent. re-
bate, lost, 6 to 9.
Representative Swanson, oil Vir-
ginia, moved that the bill be re-
committed to the sub committee,
with instructions to report bill
providing for a reduction OF S6o,-
600, 900, and also to eliminate all
the special taxes imposed by the
war revenue bill on tobacco deal
ers. Both motions were lost by a
party vote OF to9.
Mr.. Underwood, OF Alabama,
moved to restore the tax on tele.
phone messages to which Mr..
Newlands OF Nevada desired 10 add
kilograms; lost 6 to 9.
Mr.. Cooper, OF Texas, moved to
strike out the provision exempting
religious and charitable institu-
tions from the tax on leg
acies. which was lost by a viva
voce vote.
Mr.. Underwood then offered a
substitute bill providing tor an in
come tax so drawn as to be within
the ruling Of the Supreme Court,
and providing tor the repeal OF the
War Revenue bill, with the ex-
ception of the inheritance tax,
which was slightly amended.
This was defeated by a vote OF
4 to 9, Messrs. Mcclellan, Of New
York, and Newlands, OF Nevada,
both Democrats, not voting.
On motion of Mr.. Dalzell, of
Pennsylvania, Chairman Payne
was instructed to report the bill.
Mr.. Payne said he would report
the bill within a few days, proba-
bly, by Saturday.
The Democrats will wait for the
majority report, and then hold
conference after which they will
present a minority report and
probably a substitute bill. 1t is
the present understanding that the
bill will not be considered for
week or ten days.

A RoyaIIst IN Congress,

An evidence Of the variegations
Of politics in this expansive coun.
try is the election Of "Royalist"
as delegate to Congress from Ha-
waii. The Republicans, who have
not carried one seat in the Hawaiin
Legislature, are now clamoring
for a restriction upon the suffrage
to the educated and property hold.
ing inhabitants Of the archipelago.
This sounds very much like what
the Democrats are contending for
down South. On the Republican
doctrine that Congress is not lin
tied by the Constitution in legislat-
ing Tor the Territories there is no
obstacle in the way Of putting the
restraint upon the sul-
frage in Hawaii. But it would
have been better to have consid-
cred the character Of the Sandwich
Islanders before annexing them.

Prohibitionists In the Saddle

The fact that Prohibitionists had
the canteen amendment passed in
the House by an overwhelming
majority and managed to retain
nearly all the war tax on beer,
proves that the Republican Con-
gress is controlled by that element.
The next measure to be pressed
through Congress is Little6eld's
bill to prohibit the sale otliquor in
all our new possessions. The w.
c. T. u, who are now in session
here, will use every influence tor
its passage. Some prohibitory
laws are also in contemplation for
the District OF Columbia.
Thus far the SENTINEL has fought
these measures single handed. To
continue the fight with any hope
Of success it is necessary that we
should receive substantial help.

ing the sanction Of the Senate, the
day OF the army caareen will have

Prohibitionists are happy, and
they have a right to be.

Hon. Rudolph Kleeberg,

Of Texas, delivered most forcible
and telling speech against the
Army bill. Mr.. Kleeberg and Mr..
Sulzer are both OF German extrac-
tion and are leaders in the fight
against that iniquitous measure.
We call the close attention Of the
German press to the speeches OF
these two gentlemen, and then beg
Of them to compare their speeches
with those that will be delivered
by Congressman Often and Bar
tholdt on this question.
In concluding Mr.. Kleeberg
said:
Mr.. Chairman, when the mad pa ssions
Of the hour shall have subsided, when
the people, before it may be too late,
upon sober second thought, shall have
restored this republic to its pristine
strength and glory, or perhaps when II
Is too late and this republic shall have
crum bled into the dustin either event,
when the calm historian shall record
this sad chapter in our countrv's S history,
let II be said that the Democratic party,
through its chosen representatives,
stood with unAiGching courage by the
Constitution, by the Declaration Of
Independer ce, by local self government,
by civil liberty, and, like the faithful
mother, amid the deadly blasts OF the
storm, drew its children closer in its
loving embrace, ready to perish with
them rather than to desert them in the
hour Of their peril. TApplause.

OF all the native American plays that
have been produced, there has never
been one that bas had more popularity
than fell to the lot OF "M'liss," the drs il.
matization of Bret Harte's charming tale
Of Eldorado and It's inhabitants. No
American author has ever been able to
give to the children Of bis creation so
charming or realistic an atmosphere as
has Bret Harte, and wherever the Eng
lish language Is read will be found his
tales OF the mining camps Of California
in the days when the State was overTun
with seekers for gold. The dramatiza-
tion, as is we'll known, has preserved
the atmosphere OF the story to a marked
degree, and the revival OF this popular
play IS a very elaborate one, scenery has
been painted by some Of the best artists
in the country, and the company carry
everything that is used in the production
even down to the smallest property
The title role is to be played by Nellie
Nc Henry, and the part ef Yuba Bill by
Mr., Joseph Brennan, and the balance OF
the company is said to be in keeping
with the two leading characters, M'liss
is TO open an engagement at the Acad-
emy next Monday night for the week,
with the popular matinees, Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday.

ADJUSTMENTS.

"The Belle OF Bohemia" the latest
Casino opera, which is coming to the
Columbia next Monday evening, pre-
sents many novel impersonations and
incidents and is aEtistically cast and
mounted. The engagement in this city
is limitedto six nights and two matinees,
on Thursday and Saturday. For truly
comic reasons, the Belle of Bohemia, as
portrayed by Miss Sadie Kirby, has two
beaux to her stTing-a pair OF undistin.
guishable LhAps, the mixing of whose
personal identity begets confusion and
endless amusement. One of these
worthless is Impersonated by Sam Ber-
nard, the other by his brother, Dick;
and the trouble which their two wives
have in picking them out so that each
may have her own particular chubby"
is the occasion of much merriment. The
difficulties experienced by the dialsc-
ticians are intensified by the misdeeds
OF a rogue of a lawyer, Miss Marie
Dainton, an English favorite brought to
this country by Mr.. LedeTer especially
for the piece, sustains an important role
as the wife OF one Of the confusing and
confused husbands, While the quintet
Damed are severally highly effective in
giving the authors scheme its full value,
the spirit OF comedy emanates mostly
from Sam Bernard, whose talents have
found ample scope more than once on
the Casino stage, The scenic effects are
typical of the Casino in respect to
lavishness and detail. The entire outfit
that was utilized at the Casino during
the run of the piece there will be brought
into service here. Other principal
players include the Misses Irene Bentley,
TriXie Friganza, Lillian Madison, Lotta
Faust, Anna Laughlin, Ruby Reid,
Geraldine Cook, and Messrs, Paul F.
Nicholson, John Hyams, ], A FureY, c.
A. Maynard, Sol Solomon, Tom Collins,

Miss Percy Haswell will make her first
appearance as leading lady of the LafaY.
cite Square Stock Company next week,
when the stock company will return to
the Lafayette 10 produce Rosemary"
the delightful comedy Of Louis N.
Parker and Murray Carson, produced
by John Drew 6ve seasons ago. Miss
Haswel! will appear in the role created
by Miss Maude Adams just before Mr..
Drews leading lady became star. The
role is one which fits Miss HasweIl's
personality perfectly. Though there is
some similarity in personal appearance
and manner between Miss Adams and
Miss Has well, the latteE will next week
give strictly new creation OF the role,
inasmuch as she has never seen Miss
Adams play the part. Miss Haswell is
now reh ,arsing with the stock company,
and the indications are that her first
night next Monday will witness a dem
onstrstion something like that on the
last night of the Morris Stock Company
last summer. The new Leading lady
firmly established herself in local favor
last summer, Rosemary is one of tile
pTettiest and daintiest comedies in
which John Drew ever appeared. Il
tells the story OF an attempted elope-
ment on the part of Dolly Crulckshank
with youthful admirer. The carriage
of the clippers breaks down at the door
OF Sir Jasper ThOrndyke, a middle aged
bachelor, who offers hospitality, and
then proceeds 10 fall in love with Dolly.
But his sense Of duty and realization
of his own wasted life impel him TO
contide Dolly to the care of her more
youthful lover. The company at the
Lafayette will be seen to excellent ad-
vantage, Eugene OrmOnde playing Sir
Jasper. Others in the cast will be John
sullivan, Charles WynRate, John DAILY
Murphy, Frederick Sullivan, and Miss
Alma Kruger.

than by a study of his hands and
nails. Not every one has beautiful
hands. But, no matter how badly
shaped the hand may be. one can al
ways have a well groomed finger nail,
and soft, clean skin.
This may not constitute beauty, but
it is a very good substitute.
Many women neglect their hands for
six days of the week. and spent an
hour on the seventh at their mani
cures. They wonder why it is that their
hands are never fit to be seen. 1t is
with the hands as with the hair, and
complexion, and everything else per-
tanning to beauty and health. The care
must be constant. Every day must con-
tribute it's mite.
The requisites for the finger nails are
few. A nail brush, an emery file, nail
scissors, a cUticle knife, a pOlisher and
an orange stick, some hot water, a little
paste and pink nail powder comprise
the outfit. The woman who does not
know how to use these things could not
spend fifty cents or a dollar more prof
itably than by going to a manicure and
having her nails attended to.
She can thus learn from observation
to perform the manicures office for
herself.
At first it may not be easy to mani
cure the fingers of the right hand. but
with practice that difficulty can be
overcome. A few minutes every morn
ing devoted to the care of the hands
will make and keep them soft, white
and pretty. If the hands be red and
rough the following preparation will
improve them:
White almonds, three ounces; cold
cream, four ounces; honey, two ounces;
orange flower water, five ounces. Pound
the almonds in a mortar to a paste, add
the cold cream and mix with the other
ingredients. Apply at night Washing

ing hands. The malady can be checked
to a certain extent by washing the
hands in hot water and pOwdering

MaYonnaise Dressing.

Yolks of two eggs, beaten light. Aud
to these: One teaspoonful of mustard;
one teaspoonful of salt; half teaspoon
full of sugar; a very little cayenne pep
per on the end of a teaspoon. Stir
these dry ingredients into the egg
thoroughly. Measure out half pint of
olive oil, two tablespoonfulS of vine
gar. Begin putting in the oil, a very
little at time, and stirring steadily
as you can at once cover by stirring.
The whole secret of good mayonnaise
lies in putting in the oil so slowly at
first that each drop can be coated with
egg; any haste at this stage spoils it.
When all the oil has been put in that
the egg can consume, and the mixture
gets stiff and ropey, put in little
vinegar, then more oil, and so on. I'M
til all the oil has been used up; it can
be added faster at the last. When all
the oil is in add the juice of one lem
on, which makes it delicate, and whit
ems the sauce. This sauce will keep
on ice for one or two weeks.

Eleven years ago Andrew Carnegie, a

Veal Birds.

Cut raw veal in thing slices, four
inches in length, three inches in width.
Make a stuffing of one pint of bread
crumbs, half an onion chopped fine, an
equal amount of chopped parsley, salt
and pepper. Mix with enough melted
strips of veal stuff it with the dress

These birds" should be as large as
fat reed birds. Dip them in egg and
fine bread crumbs and fry. When they
are done take off the strings, and pour
over them a gravy made as follows:
Take all the scraps left from trim
ming, and put on to boil; add this
stock to the pan the birds were fried
in and make a rich, but not a greasy
gravy, and have enough to cover the
birds generously. Your butcher will
