THE RULING PASSION.

The clergyman had finished and the
organ was pealing forth the sonorous
rapture of the Mendelssohn march

radiant bride, and facing the audience
she raised her exquisitely bound,
though somewhat bulky, prayer-book
in her daintily gloved hands and
pointed it directly at the brilliant
audience. There was a sharp click
"All right, George" said the bride,
come along"
And as they marched down the aisle
she showed him that the supposed
prayer-book wasn't a prayer-bo0k at
ALL 1t was a camera!
ITS my own idea, George" she

AMERICA THE MOST APT NATION

Anglo-Saxons are considered the
best colonists, the most tolerant of
violent changes in climate and envir-
onment of all races, because they have
the strongest power of self control.
Of all nationalities of mankind they
tude, because they posses in the high
est degree the mastery of mind over
matter. The American in time will
Guido the native of every cline in his
own national game. He throws las
so better than the Mexican, and trails
a deer better than the Comanche.-

Mr. Wellington rep, Mo- occupied
the attention Of the senate, continu-
ing the debate on the Philippine ques-
ton He took as his text the resolu-
ton he introduced last Tuesday, de-
claring the United States should not

selves, affording them such protection
as they might need. Mr.. Teller

which he arraigned Secretary Gage

Washington, Dec. 24.-Routine bust
ness occupied the attention of the SEN

dent for information regarding the

The second debate in the house upon

than Tuesdays. The galleries were
almost as crowded but the ladies were
less demonstrative. The presidents
pastor, Rev. DR.. Bristol, was in the
executive gallery the greater Nortion
of the afternoon. Mr.. Roberts was
not present during the day Had he
been he would have heard the most
scathing excOriation against the NOR

to the union as a result of mormon
conspiracy and reviewed the history
of the apostles of the church, whom

Washington, Jan. ia speech
sensational in interest and interna-
tional in it's Importance, was delivered
in the senate by Mr. Hale (rep., Me-
The occasion was the simple question
whether the resolution introduced by
Mr.. Allen (pop., Neb.) calling for in
formation as to the recognition by this
country of diplomatic representations
of the Transvaal republic should be
directed to the president or to the sec
rotary of state. Mr. Hale made the
question the text of an impassioned
speech in which he declared that nine
tenth of the American people sym
pathized with the beers He declared
that 'the war which Great Britain is
waging the most fell blow at human
liberty which has been struck in the
century" He denies that the Ameri-
can people were Gin sympathy with
Great Britain in the south African
people, and when Mr. Balfour, in the
house of commons, made such a state
ment he should be met with some dis
claimer from this side of the Atlantic
He declared the English people them
selves were not in favor of the war
which "has been brought on by a
sharp cabinet minister engaged with
gold spectators The resolution,
which previous to Hale's speech had
caused sharp colloquy between
Messrs. Allen and SpOoner (rep. Wis. J

The pension appropriation bill car
rying S145, 245, $50 was passed by the
house It was made the vehicle of an
attack upon the commissioner Of pen
sions by Mr.. Curtis (rep., Kan.), who
was seconded by Messrs. Lentz and
Norton (Ohio), Robinson Qnd) and
other northern democrats. All in
weighed against the lack of 1iberality
in the administration of the pension
laws. The commissioner was ably de-
Tended by a score of members. Mr..
Mahon (rep., PENN charged that the
assault upon him had been instigated
by pension sharks in this city, who
were robbing the old soldiers. AS re-
suit of the 1atter's disclosures a rider
was put upon the bill by unanimous
consent, empowering the commissioner
in his discretion to withhold fees of
attorneys in pension cases where he
was satisfied attorneys had not pre-
pared the cases under personal super
vision. The bill was then passed

HOLDING UP A BILL.
Taxpayers Induce Controller Howell
to Withhold His Signature from
Alleged Exorbitant Bill.

Controller Howell Is holding up a
school board bill of very large pro-
portions in his office until he makes
an Investigation fC. the purpose of
discovering whethc" It is all right or
not.
At the meeting of the school board,
held on August 13, it was decided, not
unanimously be it said, 20 purchase
a lot on Fourth aveuue, in the Sixth
ward. from p. McNally. the terms to
be $4,000 in cash, and the old No 29
school building and lot Mr.. McNally
to be allowed to remove three build
ins at present on the lot.
Several interested taxpayers waited
upon the controller yesterday morning
and requested him to hold up the bill
for a few days, assuring him that the
whole thing was a deal of the very
worst kind and that the price to be
paid was exorDitant.
These taxpayers had a set of figures
with them which they claimed showed
that the board was actually paying
SO, 800 for the lot, which they allege
is way above what should be paid.
The school board has $500 insurance
on the old building and this is a very
low estimate, they contend, to place its
actual worth at.
They valued the lot at $1,000 and the
old buildings which Mr.. McNally Is
given the right to remove at $1,000. so
that these amounts added to the cash
payment of $4,000 total up S9,SOO.
The controller Immediately decided
to investigate and refused TO Coun-
tersign the warrant for 81 LOCO. which
is the first cash payment. Mr. Nc
Nally waited upon him yesterday af-
ternoon and stated that the lot, which
is 101 by $50 feet in size, is worth all
and more than the board has allowed
him for 1t.
The controller informed him that he
would visit the property himself, In
company with a real estate man, and
would then decide whether or not the
| price was too high.

CLOSE TO A CATASTROPHE.
Fire Burned Briskly About Barrel
of Gasoline.

A disastrous fire and in all proba-
bility a serious explosion were averted
last night by the prompt action or
the firemen.
Bauer's band was giving a concert
at the Coyne house and at O'Clock
Lender Bauer sent a small boy to get
some gasoline for one of the lamps
at William =. Connell & Sons store
at 11S Penn navenue. The store was
closed, but the boy found Mr.. Con-
nell and obtained from MIN the key.
He went through the store and
down underneath the sidewalk where
the gasoline IL kept. In lighting n
match he accidentally set fire to some
wood near the gasoline barrel which
had been soaked with the liquid. 1t
blazed up quickly and the boy be-
coming alarmed, made no effort to
put II out, but dashed upstairs.
When he got to the front door he
did one of those peculiar things that
people laboring under great excite
ment sometimes do.
He had locked the door, leaving the
KEY in the lock, when he went down
stairs. but instead of turning the key
and opening the door, he picked up a
front, through which he climbed.
He ran into Patrolman Karius ana
told him what had happened, and the
officer promptly turned in an alarm
of fire from box Is, at the corner of
Penn and Lackawannra avenues. The
Phoenix Chemical company vas the
first on the scene and when they ar
rived things looksd risky.
The cellar door was broken open
and the flames could be seen licking
the sides and tops of the big gasoline
barrel. The firemen We're undaunted,
however, and several of them ran
down the stairs with q line of hose,
rirking the danger of n big explosion,
for had the barrel fairly caught fire
it would undoubtedly have exploded
with frightful force.
The flames did catch q little of th-
stuff escaping from the bunghole,, and
it blazed up threateningly, but the
stream from the chemical hose soor
had it extinguished. The damage Gonc
was very slight
Had there been an explosion there
| would have undoubtedly been many
| injured by flying debris, as the street
was so jammed with people out t.
| hear the band that the police were
unable to establish proper fire lines.
