Color Line at Washington.

Washington, Feb GA few days ago
Representative Sprague, OF MaSSachu-
setts, invited his fellow-members of the
house committee on the District of Co
lumbia to attend dinner at his house in
honor of the district commissioners. One
of the members is Mr. Geo. II. White, of
North Carolina. Mr.. White is a colored
man. The other members of the com
mittee consulted together as to the pro-
priety of dining with colored man, only
one white member being so incautious
as to ACCEPT the invitation without re-
membering that MIR. White would also
be there. The single member who accep-
ted was Representative Peter Otey, of
Virginia, who can hardly be regarded as
adverse to drawing the color line on all
possible occasions. When it began to
look as if Mr.. Spraeue would have no
guests except Mr.. Otey, Mr.. White, and
the commissioners, the host was appealed
to, but he was reluctant to offend Mr..
White, who had already accepted. The
matter was at last disposed of yesterday
by the withdrawal of all the invitations
by Mr.. Sprague.
The members of the committee are
Joseph ". Babcock of Wisconsin, Sydney
E. Mudd of Maryland, John J. jenkins
of Wisconsin, Charles F. Spragle Of
Massachusetts,, David II. Mercer of Ne
braska, Geo. H. White of North Carolina,
S. ". Smith of Michigan, Amos i. Allen
of Maine, G. A Pearrc of Maryland, Jas.
II. Wadsworth of New York, Adolph
Meyer of Louisiana, A. G. Latimer of
South Carolina, W. s. COwherd OF Mis-
souri, P. J. Otey of Virginia, j. A. Nor
ton of Ohio, T. W. Sims of Tennessee,
B. T. CLAYTON of New York.

The Legislatures Work.

According to the general understand
ing, the legislature will adjourn some
time early Saturday morning. The hour
set is midnight Friday, and that will hc
the official hour of adjournment, though
the active time will be about ) or & o'clock
Saturday morning. There are still a
great many bills on the calendars of both
houses and most. of them will become
laws. They are generally purely local
bills or those of no general interest.
AS has been said before, the legiSla
lures chief characteristic has been what
it has not lone or what it has refused to
do rather an what it has done, and is
much easier to summarize its work mega
lively than otherwise.
As to cotton mill legislation, which
created the greatest interest and most
debate, there was little done. The child
labor bill failed to pass and it looks as if
the house resolution to appoint com
missioner to investigate Child labor con-
ditions will not pass, though there is time
enough for it to get through the senate.
As the senate voted for the child labor
bill there seems to be disposition to
pass over the commission feature Of the
question. But an important law rs to
cotton mills was passed and that was
Senator Henderson's bill to declare cot
ton mill stocks real estate for purposes of
taxation, and thus prevent their taxation
twice, when owned outside of the state.
No reapportionment bill was passed,
but that will have to be done at the next
session.
The proposed sale Of the penitentiary
farms failed to pass, and so did the bill
to stop the hiring Of cOnricts to private
parties and to hire them TO counties for
purposes of road improvement. And in
connection with this the broad tire bill
was defeated.
The annual effort to have state in
Surance Inspector elected again failed, as
did the effort to have the free pass law
abolished This, however, passed the
house by good majority but WAS killed
in the senate by a vote of one.
The effort to regulate and systematize
the salaries of county officers was post
p0ned until the next session.
Two diSpenSary measures, one clectlng
dispensers by the people and the other
relating to the distribution of profits,
were either killed or postponed until
next session.
As annually the case all efforts to
legislate against the useless and dcstruc-
tive "yaller" dog failed, and the sheep
industry in this state must languiSh until
his many champions are dead or left at
home.
These are some Of the chief things the
legislature hasn't done Among the few

The readers of this paper will be pleas
ed to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
cattarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the

fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease, requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternal'y, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby des troying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as

Can't our town have good sidewalks
on Main street? 1t would not cost so
much to put down cement payements id
front of all the business houses at least
the city paying part and property own
ers the balance. We suggest to our city
fathers that they take up the matter with
real estate owners and see what arrange
ments can be made for putting down
good sidewalks. We feel sure that all
interested will help the good cause along.
We have few good pavements now, but
they should be extended to the entire
business portion of Main street.

leading to the throne. Every one bowed
low. and the chancellor handed to his
majesty the parchment roll from which
to read the royal speech.
All waited attentively to catch the
words from the royal lips. but his maj

Having glanced over the roll as If to
gather the gist Of the speech. he again
folded it and handed it back to the
chancellor with the command:
You read it.
The chancellor was somewhat put

Fashions for the Spring.

The modes for spring are now taking
definite shape and The Delineator for the
month of March illustrates and describes
some decided novelties. 1t looks as
though there might be a return Of over
skirts as represented by series of two
or three f1ounces. Eton Jackets in various
modern forms of modification are to be
very popular this season and there will
be tendency to show fAiglon collars as
applied to jackets. The ripple back ef-
feet on skirts cut in habit fash
ion is also gaining ground, and the March
Delineator contains an article written by
an experienced dressmaker showing how
to produce this effect. French and Rus
sian effects in the garments of children
are becoming more popular.
