led by Mr.aMercer, of Nebraska, Mr..
Ball of Texas, Mr. Fitzgerald Of 'Massa-

Il each Climax with uDixie.,,

- -- Z
& The spectators in the galleries APP
Dixie filled the hall. Then their en-
5thusiasm broke out in wild cheers. But
the enthusiasm ''Dixie" evoked was not
to be compared with the, remarkable
demonstration which followed when, in
a clear, ringing tenor, Mr.. Fitzgerald,
Of Massachusetts,, sarted the national
anthem. In an instant all the men, wo-
men and children in the galleries were
on their feet joining in the singing.
The mighty chorus from thousands
of throats reverberated thru the hall,
making the pulses leap and the blood
Jingle. 1t was magnificent and in
spring spectacle.
Speaker Adjourns House.
After Speaker Henderson had made
a graceful farewell speech thanking
the members for their courtesy, and
had declared the house adjourned, the
members testified to his popularity by
singing "For He is jolly Good Fell
low" and the newspaper correspond
ents in the press gallery sang the dox-
ology.

day in the house was the reversal Of
it's action of Wednesday night in turn
ing down the conferees on the naval
bill for yielding on the item relating
to ocean surveys. 1t was distinct VIC
tory for the old conferees, Messrs. Foss
OF Illinois, Dayton of West Virginia,
and Cummings, of New York. The
amendment as thus agreed upon will
read as follows:
Ocean survey-Including the waters
of Cuba and the Philippine archipelago
but not the coast thereof, and for the
purchase of nautical books, charts, and
sailing directions, and freight and ex-
press charges on the same, $4,000.
This is, a compromise. in all respects.
The original provision in the house bill
was for ocean surveys only, and it APP
Spropriated $4,000.
One feature of the day was the re-
sentful obstruction of Mr.. LEM, of
Ohio to legislation by unanimous con-
sent because he could not secure the
publication of the Occur d'Alene in
quiry report.
1 With the senate itswas day of wait.
ing for the agreement of the conferees
on the naval bill. When the house fl
nally agreed to the senate amendments
the upper body adjourned quietly.

As the fighting did not finish until
after nightfall, II was necessary for the
men TO bivouac on the field. says the
London Mail. This they did cheerfully
and in an orderly manner. despite a
soaking downfall and the chilling cold.
From the moment Of the Cease firing"
both British and Beers fraternized in
the care Of the wounded. The stretchers
were found TO be missing in the confu-
sion necessarily consequent on an at
tack against modern weapons, and
great labor was experienced In moving
the wounded men from among and be-
hind the rocks and down the slippery
hillsides. But everyone worked loyalty,
and the stan in LAdysmith worked so
effectively that, though the frat dooliex,
or native stretchers, only arrived at
midnight, special trains were ready
throughout the night TO convey the
wounded to the hospital. and with the
first stroke of dawn sufficient doolies
were waiting 10 convey every man.
The Red Cross workers attached TO
the Boer force were equally ready. and
II was pleasant TO see the mutual good
feeling. The British soldiers treated
the Boer wounded as solicitously as
their own, and round one Of the few
camp fires which were lighted saw all

wounded prisoners. Armed Beers even
appeared with the object OF searching
for their wounded. They were allowed

All the world loves a lover. Such
a lover as Oliver Starbird in that
catchy comedy, "Other People S
Money" captivates the keenest
sympathies of the audiencefrom the
FIRST, and holds them with increas-
ing power to the end of the play.
Light hearted cool headed, cour-
ageous, diplomatic, determined,
witty and audacious, he is just the
kind of a lover to win the heart of
such healthy, vivacious a7d
wholesome girl as Marjory, Pas
sionate ardor and ready courage
stir in his blood and the provoking
coquetries of the girl he loves only
serves to fire his soul with an in
tense purpose to win her at what
ever cost. The desperation Of his
plan isonly equaled by the bril-
liancy of its execution and the hap
piness of its outcome. Mr.. Addi-
son Pitt does full justice to the
character and in the comedy scenes
with Hopper produces a wholesome
favor upon the audience and a
strong foil for Mr.. Leroyle.

Acting Attorney General Pratt
has filed a suit in the Circuit Court
al Frankfort to GUST from Office The
Democratic Election Commissioners.
He claims that MIR. Poyntz forfeited
his Office by riding on a railroad
pass and that the elections Of the
other two commissioners were with
out legal authority. Democrats
attach but little Importance to the
suit. which will not be called till
April, after the contests are over.
They claim that even if the charge
against Mr.. Poyntz is true, that
the General Assembly has never
passed law to make the section
in the constitution operative and
that his Office would haYe to be de-
clared vacant by legal processes,
Until this has been done his title
to Office is not TO be questioned.
This is nothing more than another
Of the desperate moves OF the bene-
6ciaries of bribery and corruption
to keep the legally elected state
officers out of their positions as long
as possible.
