The Departure Of Congrrss,

A silence falls. They're going home. No more the statue OCT the dome Win thrill to hear their voices loud That wake the plaudits of the crowd. The wandering mice, unheeded, play In haunts where genius loved to stray, And each cozy nest may find In splendorS which are left behind. 'Mongst mighty manuscripts asleep Each cuddles in a little heap; Or else they read in drowsy tones About Pure Food" or Telephones; Or nihble parchments which display Thoughts on an isthmian waterway. They may learn how, if so inclined, Memorial bridges are designed And never built Again, tis plain That naught in life is all in vain! What though these noble projects lie Forgotten as the months roll by. Admit, nor yield to selfish vice, They make things pleasant for the mice

The Chinese Boxers correspond in principle, at least, according to the Rev. MT. F. w. Royall, who has just returned from the "Flowery Kingdom" with the old Nothing party in the United States. As the war cry of the Know Nothings was America for Americans D so that of the Boxers is China for Chinamen." And as there were Know Nothing riots when that movement was at it's height, so the Boxers are roiting now, though it is admitted that the vel low-skinned fanatics have gone to much greater extremes in every way. At the same time it is pointed out that China men have had much greater reason to fear the onslaughts of the foreigners They are moved to violence at present, so MT. Royal says, by the fear that for eign nations are about to seize and split up among themselves their ancient en- pire, and as the partition of China among the great powers has been pub lcly discussed for years, and as many of them already hold and occupy with armed men so-called spheres of influ- ence" on Chinese soil, it would appear that the Boxers have good grounds for their fears.

The discussion over the use of light ning-rods continues in the technical pa- pers. The Electrical Review declares that the discussion has not shown that the rods are of any use, and that any evidence given would necessarily be of negative character. It holds that the electrician must wait for better knowl- edge before he can design a perfectly satisfactory protection, and that out of the confused mass of lightning lore there has not yet come a satisfactory explanation of it's action or it's cause. The Review also states that the fact seems to be that lightning is very near- Iy harmless, as somewhere about one hundred persons are killed by it annu- ally in the United States out of 80 O0O,- 900 people. The Weather Bureau re- flutes the latter statement by publish ing the results of the statistics for last year, showing that 562 persons were killed by lightning and S20 injured-a larger number by far than since the Bureau began the collection of statis- tics on the subject

To Disguise she short Waist


 While fashionable women look with approval only on tall and slender figures it is, of course, impossible for many women to stimulate such proportions successfully. Nature must have done at least a small share if woman is to look like the willowy heroines novel; ists write gushing pages about But really there's no excuse just now for look of short waistedness. True, nature can be quite as much 1t fault here as in the particular of height, but current fashions endorse methods that will over come, as to lack of length in the waist, anything but downright deformi- ty. willy dressmaker will spend some of her time and much of her custom CTS money in devising a remedial gar

A Frenchman in New Orleans who was arrested for marrying one woman while he had another wife living was acquitted on curious technicality. A certain law fixed a new punishment on the crime of bigamy and repealed all other conflicting laws. Immediately on its approval, this law was the only law on the statute books covering the crime of bigamy and fixing it's punishment But though it repealed all other laws bearing on the subject, 1t did not itself become operative until twenty days af- ter it's promulgation, and thus there was practically no law on the statute books covering bigamy during that pe- riod. And it was on one of those twenty days that the couple were married

tors Located at HALFWAY NJ

New York, Jan. 6.-The Union County
bank of Railway. n. j.. today placed a
notice on its door announcing that it had
been compelled to suspend, owing to the
unusual demand made upon 1t by de-

001 Its a state institution and had
surplus of $25, 900. After the difficulties of
the Middlessex county bank of Perth
Amboy n. j., which was robbed by its
cashier George NJ Valentine, there was
some evidence of timidity on the part of
the depositors, as the president of the
Union County bank, Edward f. Savage.
had been Valentines lawyer, and the
vice president of the Union County bank
milford D. Valentine, was an uncle of
the defaulting cashier of the Middlesex
County bank 1t was known for several
days that the banks accounts were under
investigation. and this brought on a run.
1t is said that about $4,000 was paid out
yesterday and there were still many de-
pcsitors waiting to draw out money when
the bank closed for the day. The di-
rectors held a meeting late yesterday
and as an outcome it was DECIDED not
to open the bank. To all inquiries today
the officers of the bank stated that the
notice issued by Deputy Commissioner
Johnson contained about all the informa-
ton that at present could be made pub
lie regarding the suspension.
