The House got down to active business
yesterday and large number of bills were
introduced. The session was opened at 10
o'clock with prayer by Representative Air
hart. About the first item of business was
the announcement of the standing commit
tees by Speaker Artman. Immediately
afterward the roll call of counties for the
introduction of bills was commenced
While this was in progress there was a
prolonged argument over the question OF
purchasing some law books. Representa-
tive Neal offered a resolution suggesting
that fifty-two volumes of Horner's statutes
be purchased at 1875 a volume. Repre-
sentative Statesman objected 10 this and
thought that four volumes of Burns's Re-
vised Statutes should be bought. Repre-
sentative whitcomb announced that Hor-
ner's statutes were I'm litigation and could
not be purchased. Both motions on being
put to a vote were lost and the books viii
not be purchased. Two bills were passed
during the day. In the morning Repre-
sentative Cotner's bill legalizing all bonds
issued by boards OF county commissioners
regardless Of the time of publication was
passed under a suspension of the rules. In
the afternoon a bill legaIizing the acts OF
the officers Of the town OF LinvilIe was
adopted. The people have arranged 10 In
corporation they want their official acts TO
be legal.
Among the measures that came up dur
ing the morning was House bill No. T.
introduced by Mr.. Bonham. The bill pro-
vides that an extra page be employed for
the speaker, that the postmaster have an
assistant. who shall be paid at the rate
of 81 a day. and that official stenog-
rapher be employed. who shall perform
work for the speaker and all members Of
the House. A motion TO suspend the rules
to "a and the bill was referred Go the COM
mittee on judiciary.
Mr.. McCarty introduced his antitrust
bill during the morning session. and Repre-
sentative whitcomb introduced a measure
relating TO the Improvement OF streets In
Indianapolis This bill gives to the prop
erty owner the right 10 be heard before
the Improvement is ordered. while under
the existing law he has not an opportunity
to be heard until after the Improvement
is ordered and the work compieted. The
McCarty antitrust bill. among other
things, declares that to control or regulate

Pope Leo a ch.s. Player.

Pope Leo XIII. finds his chief recre.

said to be one OF the best players In
all Europe. A Roman priest. Father
Guila. has the honor OF being his
usual fellow player. and he has full
filed this high function for thirty.five
years. or since long before vicenzo
Gioacchino Pecci became Leo XIII.
When the cardinal mounted the pom.

Florence. The new Pope called him
to Rome and even gave him his lodg-
ing In the palace OF the vatican. His
skill ut chess is marvellous, but he Is
credited with n strangely irascible
temper. At times when the contest is
going against him he works himself
into terrible passion. on these oc-
casions the Pope stops the game and

SINGLE RAIL ELECTRIC LINES.

Some Advantages the New English Sched-

The British Parliament has been pc.

construction of an electric railway be-
tween Liverpool and Manchester.
which will make the fastest time on
record. The single rail system. which
1t is proposed to introduce on this line.
will bring changes in other respects
than that of speed. For one thing one
cannot journey by this method of To-
comotion and speak to his fellow trav-
elers at the same time. The noise
caused by the running wheels would
effectually drown the most vociferous
efforts. Again. reading will be out of
the question. The vibration is abnor-
NAL and the rapid motion by which
the passenger is whisked along at the
terrific rate of 40 miles an hour pre-
cludes the possibility of such thing.
Even on the Irish line, where the
speed rarely reaches sixty miles an
hour. reading is n practical impossi-
bility. The great recommendation of
the system. as shown in Its working
In Kerry. rests In the fact that It is
practically impossible TO derail the en-
gines or carriages.

boy was born mid little things,
Between little world and sky
AND dreamed not of the cosmic rings
Round which the circling planets fly.
He lived in little works and thoughts,
Where little ventures grow and plod,
And paced and ploughed his little plots
And prayed unto his little god.
But. as the mighty system grew,
His faith grew faint with many scars:
The Cosmos widened in his view
But God was lost among the stars.
Another boy, in lowly days
AS he-to little things was born,
But gathered lore in woodland ways,
And from the glory of the morn.
As wider skies broke on his view,
God greatened in his growing mind:
Each year he dreamed his God anew,
And left his older God behind.
He saw the boundless scheme dlate.
In star and blossom, sky and clod,
And as the universe grew great,
He dreamed for it a greater God.

INTERESTING COMPLICATION
IN THE KRUG CASE

From the San Antonio Express.
The Krug eXtradition case was con-
tinued Friday morning in the federal
building before United States Com
missioner Seeligson, and took up the
time of the court throughout the day.
No witnesses were put on the stand,
the entire DAY being taken up in argu-
ment by counsel. The question at issue
was as to whether the charge in Mexico
for robbery without violence and the
complaint here charging robbery and
ENLIGHTENMENT, and the evidence show
ing embezZlement under our laws and
probable robbery without violence I'M
der the Mexican laws, would allow de-
PENDANT to be extradited. The con-
tention of Krug's attorneys was that
the charge in Mexico being for robbery
without violence and the evidence
showing embeZzlement under our law.
he could not be eXtradited. because
there was no charge of embezZlement
in Mexico. The contention of the pros
ecution was that the evidence while it
showed embeZZlement under our law
also showed robbery without violence
under the Mexican law and the treaty.
