THE cYpsY WOMAN.


The qYysy woman
Lives on the moor.
She sleeps In a tent
With a eurtained door.
Low IS her dwelling
And hard her bed.
But the stars at night
Are a crown for her head.
Rough IS her greeting
From an that's human,
But the morning smiles
At the gypsy woman.
The wind Is her harper,
And brings from far
His songs of wOOlng
And shouts Of war.
On the printed page
She need never look.
The changing sky
Is her Holy Book.
She knows not the call
OF church bells ringing,
The falling rain
Makes sWeeter singing.
And the voice Of the lark
At morn and even
is a key to open
The Gate Of Heaven.

prises Government.

London, Feb. lS-The first division
in the first parliament of King Ed
ward VII, which took place today, re-
suited in cutting down to As the gov
ernment's normal majority of 13O.
The interest caused by this unexpected
event was heightened by Winston
Spencer Churchill's first speech at
Westminster and by Chamberlain s
heated defence of his own policy.
The extraordinary slimness OF the
majority of this strongest British gov
ernment of modern times was the re-
suit of Lord Cranborne's refusal to

JAIL NOW HOLDS BOSS JOINT
WRECKER.
SMASHED ONCE TOO OFTEN
Enters Cold Storage Plant Search
ing for Liquors and Is
Arrested.

Topeka, Feb. 18-Mrs. Nation is
now in the county Jail as result of
her trial on Il peace warrant before
Judge Hazen today.
The warrant was sworn to by the
Mozer Gold Storage company, whose
plant Mrs. Nation entered yesterday
morning.
Mrs. Nation acted as her own atto1-
ney in the trial. Judge Hazen placed
her under $4,000 bond to keep the
peace and told her to appear before
him at the next term Of court. She
refused to give bond and said she
would go to Jail. She is now detained
in the hospital room of the county
Jail, where she will probably remain
some time.
In the city court this morning argu-
ments we're made in the case brought
against Mrs. Nation by the proprietors
of the wrecked Senate saloon. Judge
McCabe said he would take the matter
under adviseinent until Thursday
morning.
It is not likely that Mrs. Nation
will be able to give bond because she
declares that she will resume her
smashing crusade against the "joints"
Immediately upon her release. Her
friends have been advised that Judge
Hazen will order her release only on
their promise to send her to her home
at Medicine Lodge.

Fire Gets One Milwaukee Print
Shop and Seriously Dam
ages Another.

Milwaukee, Feb. 18-Fire tonight
damaged the Milwaukee Herald news
paper plant to the extent of about $780,
600, fully covered by insurance.
The blaze started in the basement.
where quantity Of paper was stored.
In an instant the flames shot up the
elevator shaft to the fourth or top
floor, and before the fire department.
got down to work the top of the build
ing was mass of ruins. The third
and fourth floors and basement were
Quilted and everything on the other
floors was badly damaged by water.
Many of the Herald employees got out
of the building barely in time to avoid
suffocation.
The greater part of the loss falls
upon the linotype machines in the
composing room and presses in the
basement
The Sentinel building, adjoining the
Herald, sustained a loss of about
$1,000 on the third and fourth floors,
chiefly from water.
The fire was under control at a.
m. The burned portion of the Herald
building will be rebuilt at once.

BOTH LEFT OUT
Convention Committee Ignores Two
Principal Matters In Its
Report.

Havana, Feb. 18--The special COM
mittee appointed by the Cuban consti-
tutional convention to draw up prop
osition defining the future relations
between the republic of Cuba and the
United States was in conference neal ly
all day with other members of the
convention in order to get the opinion
of the majority as to what action
should be taken regarding the sugges-
tions offered by Governor General
Wood Saturday.
The question of naval stations is
still the chief subject of controversy
Probably the committee will submit
a report tomorrow, leaving out any
reference to this matter and also omit
ing any reference of the right of the
United States to intervene at any time
for preservation of order. 1t. is con-
sidered that the latter question is
covered by the treaty of Paris and
that, moreover, it would be slur
upon the efficiency of the future gov
ernment to admit the possibility of
necessity for American intervention.
The objection to the naval stations
is not looked upon in this light, but
the delegates do not wish to give their
adherence to an arrangement lnvolv-
ing specific stipulation as to naval
stations. Many say that if the United
States government wishes naval sta
tions in Cuba it can take them and
there will be no objection, but the
convention going on the assumption
that the United States will take the
initiative, is not disposed to make
fOraml concession.

AID is VOTED
House Passes Bill Appropriating
Money For St. Louis
Exposition.

Washington, Feb. 18-The bill to
authorize the holding of an interna-
tional exposition in celebration of the
centennial anniversary Of the Louis
lana purchase at St. Louis in 1908 and
appropriating $5,OO0,OO0 therefor,
passed the house today under suspen-
sion Of the rules by vote Of 191 to
II. The opposition was hopelessly in
the minority and the struggle upon
the bill was brief.
The question of closing the exposi-
tion Sundays was not mentioned dur
ing the debate.
The bill to define the word "Con-
spiracy" in the Sherman antitrust
law to avoid the possibility of its be-
ing held applicable to labor organiza-
tions was defeated by almost two
thirds vote on account of two amend
ments which the judiciary committee
placed upon the bill and which were
opposed by the labor organizations.
The sundry civil bill was under con-
sideration late in the day and Cannon,
chairman of the appropriations COM
ulCtoe, LOOK OCCASION TO make ue-
tailed statement of the appropriations
for the present congress. He was led
to do this, be said, by many criticisms
of the reckless extravaganza of this
congress. The situation, he said, was
quite bad enough without exaggerat-
ing it. He figured that the appropria-
tions would total 1894, 1lS, 595, exclu-
sive of the sinking fund requirement
of $53, 900, 900, against $657, 100, 862
for the current year.
In the course of his remarks he fired
sbme hot shots at the minority for
prating of economy and not helping to
uphold the hands of himself and
others when they were trying to keep
the appropriations down.

at an earlier period. Nate kindly

tanned Il silence remarkable for him,
