mr.. SPEAKER"
Presiding Officer of British House Tas
Many Advantages. ~ Isl

Presiding Officer of British House Tas
Many Advantages. a
There are few public Offices so au-
gust and so comfortable as that Of
speaker of the British House Of Com
mons. To begin with the emoluments:
The speakers salary is twenty-five
thousand dollars year; there are mis-
cellaneous allowances which amount to
almost as much more, and to these
is added handsome official residence
such as a prince might envy More
over, while the speaker listens to the
speeches of dull members or restraints
the language of the impetuous, he is
sustained by the reflection that, when
ever he is inclined to give up the office,
he can retire with a peerage, and the
assurance of receiving check for a
thousand pounds every three months
Tor the rest of his days. Such a re-
hection might we'll beguile the most
tedious debate The speaker has great
power. No member of the house can
speak in debate except with his con-
sent. He can stop any member whom
he regards. as using unparliamentary
language, and can suspend him if he
chooses. He can. close any debate; he
decides finally nice points of parlia-
mentary law, for his rulings are never
disputed. These powers might be
abused by a partisan; but the speaker
is never a partisan. One of the con-
siderations which determines his selec-
ton is that he shall be satisfactory to
both parties. He is nominated by the
leader of the government party, and
the nomination is seconded by the
leader of the opposition. When the
office becomes vacant the government
chooses for speaker a member of the
party in power; but if, there is
change of government he is not dis
placed, even after an election at which
his party is defeated. Under the Am
erlcan system, it is not possible that
the speaker of the house of representa-
tlves should be so colorless a person
as the speaker of the house of COM
mons is expected to be-. The British
ministers have seats in parliam ent,
and are the leaders of the house. In
this country the separation of execu-
tive and legislative functions deprives
the house of official leaders, and the
dominant party needs the Office of
speaker as an aid in impressing it's
policy upon legislation. Nevertheless,
within these recognized limitations,
speakers who were robust partisans
have shown themselves capable of
ents.

Mrs. Edwards, Officers and Members:
The l. B. w. w. Club have been
watching with the keenest interest for
the outcome of the trouble which arose

THEsTHuMAs ESTATE FIGHT.

Last saturday morning Judge Cut
ting, of the Probate Court, gave the
best portion Of the day to hearing the
witnesses IN the now celebrated
sIhomas Estate. The fight is being
Waged by Mrs. Thomas on the one
hand, and Hester Thomas Morrison.
OF New York, on the other hand. Mrs.
Thomas claimed that while Hester
Thomas was the daughter Of her hus-
band all right, that she was the daugh-
ter OF her husband by the daughter of
Mrs. Thomas No. 1 (Mr. Thomas own
step daughter). To prove this she
brought to- court Henry Mitchell, who
seemed to sustain her contention. but
added that Mr.. Thomas in his judg-
ment was the most licientious man he
ever knew and was not good enough
to marry or associate with any daugh-
ter CT his. On the other hand Lawyer
Anderson, representing Hester Tohmas
MORRISON, put on the stand Lawyer E.
II. Morris, Hon. John @. Grant and
wife, Mrs. b. H. Wright, Mrs. Henry
washington, Mr.. VIM. Churchill, Ell
der DeBaptlst and other prominent
persons, all testifying in favor Of the
legitimacy of Hester. Upon this show
ing the judge held that Hester Thomas
morrison was legitimate child and
overruled Mrs. Thomas. Lawyer An
deIson thereupon examined Mrs.
Thomas thoroughly as to the assets
OF the estate and ascertained that
there was $4,000 in government bonds
bought in 1898, which Mrs. Thomas
claimed to be hers, and that there was
$4,000 in cash in bank and some real
estate standing in Mrs. Thomas
name. The court permitted Lawyer
Anderson to examine the bonds which
were in safety vault, and he found
that instead of the bonds having been
bought in '93, as testified by Mrs.
Thomas, that they were bought eight
months after her husbands death
presumably by herr. When this fact
was made known to the court he Or
dered a notice to be sent to her and
intimated that upon her statement
made IN court she had committed per-
jury and contempt Of court. The mat
ter will come up again in few days.

BALLOT CROSSED.

Mrs. Florence Earl Coates Husband
Voted Against Her.
Among the gifted women Of Pniia-
delphia none shines with more bril-
liancy than Mrs. Florence Earle
Coates: Among Mrs. Coates treasur-
ed possessions is letter written by
Matthew Arnold shortly before his
death, in which he spoke of the de-
lightful hours spent in her home, and
expressed the hope of speedy reunion
in her fragrant garden. At one of the
elections Of the officers of the Philadel-
phia Browning society, with its MOO
members-over which Mrs. Coates pre-
sales.--future was an amusing episode.
Printed slips bearing the names of the
nominees had been collected from the
audience, and the committee who had
been appointed to count the votes was
just about to announce to Mrs Coates
her unanimous election, when Mr..
Coates handed her a slip with her
name heavily crossed and recrossed in
an almost vicious fashion, and remark
ed: Here is some one who objects
decidedly to your election Mrs.
Coates took the paper, smiled, flushed,
and laid it aside, evidently not caring
to have the committee see how much
she felt the objection, and the conversa-
ton went on. But her eyes returned
in a troubled way to the Sowing
erasure, and finally, picking it up, she
murmured: Il wonder who it can be?
Some one, I fear, whom l have unin-
tentionally hurt Or displeased,'' but
just then, catching a glimpse of her
husbands face, she, exclaimed: why,
it was Mr.. Coates, of course! How
could you?" and Joined heartily in the
laugh that followed Saturday Even
ing Post. ~.

renee avenue, celebrated her birthday
Monday evening, Jan. %. The house
was filled with a large number of
friends who, in many pretty and odd
sayings, wished Miss Hattie many
more such bright, happy days. Beauti-
full, useful and costly presents were
received by the young lady. After
the program was rendered all were
left to enjoy themselves as they willed.
instrumental solos were rendered by
Misses Sallie Jones, Ethel Wiley, Ger
trude Jackson, Messrs H. and w.

selections by Mr.. Arthur Shaw. Read
ing by Mrs. Fannie H. Clint; solos and
trio by Misses Edna and Hattie Win
slow and Gertrude Jackson, Messrs.
Gorden, Handy and Hadley. Refresh
ments were abundant. All retired
about 1870 a. m. feeling delighted and
more than ready to come again after
the welcome they received from Mrs

Making Mountain Peaks Accessible.

For the last half century much has
been heard of the perils of mountain
eering. But while graphic pictures
continue to be drawn of the horrors Of
the Alps on foot, with guides and
ropes, no one has yet told the trusting
tourist of the dangers which may await
him if he climbs the heights of Swift
zerland in a railway. The aerial tracks
are rapidly increasing all over the
Fairgrounds Of Europe, and in time
perhaps it will be proved that all
mountain peaks may be made accessi-
BILE to the child, the invalid and aged.
Those who desire exciting times even
when climbing by rail should go to
the Alps in spring, when the noun
tains are unburdening themselves of
their heavy load of winter snow and
the work has commenced on the pre-
cipitous railways in preparation for
the summer traffic.
