POLlrICAL NOTES. AND GOSSIP.

Senate RePubIicans.-That ever faith
ful source Of discord, patronage. appears
to have set even the grave and reverend
Republican Senator'S at skies and seyens.
The meat Of the contention seems to be a
clean sweep Of the Democratic employees of
the Senate. with the exception o. a very
few Of the older Democrats on the pay
rolls whose experience makes their serv-
ices Of real value and whose close $3.50

complete reorganization of the staff, de-
Veloped sufficient strength 10 again post
Pone action. The excuse for thr postpone

that. of course, this had something 10 do

clear TO the accomplishment of THEN our
pose they would have substituted lone
other name for that of Mr. Sherman and
thus have started the Ong-delayed reOr-
ganization. While Senators Plat and De-

A number of other members from the latter
were also present looking after the visitors
and eScorting them over the house. There
were 291 women admitted to the home last
year, and If the resources will permit it is
proposed to enlarge the scope of the work
by having evening classes for homeless
girls who earning small wages. A
scarcity of room makes it hard to carry out
this project, but it is hoped that 1t will be
possible soon to enlarge the building, either
by appropriation from Congress or by
gift from some generous individual.

Death is Painless.

Death is nearly always painless.
Man dies generally from the cessation
Of the heart IS functioning, whatever
the more remote cause may have been,
the nerve cells may have ceased to act,
the muscles may have been worn out,
or the heart may have been directly
attacked by acute or chronic disease.
But in any case want Of oxygen is the
determining factor, except in the
case of poisoning with prussic acid,
in which case the whole body is dead
before the heart ceases to beat. In
every other case the cessation Of the
heart S action comes first, the general
death of the body aftcrward Before
the heart ceases to function conscious
ness ceases. Even in the most awful
death known, death by burning, NOR
tality is rendered painless at an early
stage Of sutfocation. 1t is the first
moment Of experience of the heat that
is SO terrible; we think, in imagina-
tion, that we could never endure it,
and wonder how martyrs faced it with
such calm. But, apart from their
state of spiritual ecstacy, their suffer
ings were soon mercifully ended by
Nature herself, which appears to set
very real limits to physical torture.
Thus, Livingston when seized by
lion, tells us that he felt little pain or
apprehension, while DR.. Alfred Rus
sell Wallace asserts that the seeming
tragedies of animate nature, such as
the killing Of birds by beasts Of prey,
are not at all 80 awful as they appear
in our Imagination.
We see with painful vividness the
outward fact, but we do not see the
merciful anodync furnished by nature.
So it is at deathbed. The observers
see the clammy brow, the gasping for
breath, the rigor mortis, sometimes
the contorted featurcs-all painful to
behold. But, with perhaps the excep-
tion Of the difficult respiration, the
dying man knows nothing Of this, and
before he has actually expired nature
has given him relief which the dear
est friend or most skillful physician
could not have impaired. There are
also forms Of death in which, long be-
fore death arrives, the "will to live"
has ceased, the patient resigns him
self, and life gradually sinks to a van
ishing point. This death is physi-
cally and psychologically painless

Big Damages Against China.

Washington, June 1G. 1t is said
that the operations Of the boxers are
rolling up heavy bill of damages
against the Chinese government and
that this will be made the subject Of
strong demand for indemnity by the
United States as socE as order is re-
stored in China. 1t is held that under
the terms of our treaty with China,
not only are American missionaries
entitled to the protection of the Chi
nese government, but even their ma
tive converts. According to- the doc
trine that we have laid down in the
case Of the Turkish missionary claims,
the Chinese government can be held
responsible for outrages committed
against American citizens, even in
times of rioting, if the government
troops, or its agents, fail to respond
to call, or participate themselves in
the rioting. This is said to be the
case with the boxer disturbances. The
particular treaty provision covering
the cases Of the American missionaries
and the native converts is unique. 1t
is contained in article 29 Of the treaty
Of 1853 as follows:
"The practice of the Christian re-
ligicp, as professed by the Protestant
and Roman Catholic churches, is re-
cognized as teaching them to do good,
and to do others as they would they
should do unto them. Hereafter
those who quietly profess and teach
these doctrines shall not be harassed
or prosecuted on account of their
faith. Any person, whether citizen
of the United States, or Chinese con-
vert, who according to these tenets,
peaeeably teaches and practices the
principles Of Christianity, shall in no
case be interfered with or molested."

Honest Polly.

A matron was one day teaching
little colored girl on her plantation
how to spell.
She used pictorial primer, says
the Memphis Scimitar, and over each
word was the accompanying illustra-
ton. Polly glibly spelled cox. OK"
and "b,o.x, box" and the teacher
thought she was making fright rapid
progress" perhaps even too rapid.
So she put her hand over the pic
turc. and then asked:
"Polly, what does Ok spell?"
coz" answered Polly, nimbly.
s'How do you know that it spells
ox?'
Polly was as honest as the day.
"Seed his tail!' she responded.

chIld Played with a nenr.

Dallas, Texas, Oct. Lizzie, the
3-year-old daughter OF Mr. and Mrs. j.
A. Self Of Canton street was missed
by her parents late yesterday evening
from the sidewalk in front Of the
home where they had left her playing.
After searching the nelghborhood for
an hour or more Mr.. and Mrs Self be-
came extremely alarmed and were COM
mitted to the theory that their child
had been Kidnapped by some of the
many strangers attending the State
fair. They notified the police depart
ment and an all night search followed.
Shortly after daybreak two Of the
mounted officers found the child in the
Zoo" at the city park, seated in front
of the iron cage In which the big black
bear is confined The little girl, all
unmlndful of the peril she was in, had
her feet and arms extended into the
cage between the bars and was petting
with her hands the face and paws OF
the bear, and talking baby talk to him.
The officers hurried to police head
quarters and soon Lizzie was restored
unframed to her parents. She had
wandered the distance of about eight
blocks from her home and had slept
during the night on the park lawn near
the Zoo" Chief Price, in his astonish-
ment, said: God saved that baby. A
grown person would have lost an arm
or leg for interfering with that bear"

moving his chair close to the table.
He then placed the muzzle Of the PTS

going through and lodging against the

New York. September 29.-At 1:45
this morning naptha tank exploded
in the Central Gas Light company's
works at the foot of East Thirteenth
street The explosion was heard for
miles around and broke all windows
in the vicinity Five alarms of fire
were turned in and the fire boat was
summoned. The flames at times shot
seventy feet up in the air. The fire is
still burning fiercely and the firemen
are fighting desperately to prevent 1t
from spreading to the gas holders.
There has been no loss of life.
