cnccs were in progress during the
evening relating TO the political
programme to-day when the demo-
cratic and republican branches of the
legislature will meet together for
the first time since the assassination
of the late Gov. Goebcl. The ques-
ton of whether Lieut.. Gov. Marshall
(rep) OF President Pro TEN. Carter
(dem.) will preside in the senate to-
day is as vide open as it has been.
Lieut.. Gov. Marshall is not here yet,
but before leaving the city Saturday
he stated positively that he would
return to-day and insist on his right
to preside and the republican leaders
assert positively that he will preside.
Neither side goes farther than these
bare statements and what steps they
will take, if any, to carry out these
cross purposes respectively can only
be determined by events to-day.
Gov. Taylor went to church yester-
day without military escort and
spent the remainder of the day at the
mansion with his family. Gov. Beck

ARTISTS NOT AFRAID OF GHOSTS

Ernest Benson. water colorist and W G.

lived In the house for nearly six months,
and yet their nerves are steady and the work
they produce bears no suggestion Of the

fashioned wellsweep. The main housed is
double, with rooms on each side of a broad
