ouida ana *he Duchesses.

Lord Baltimore told a friend how he
once took Ouida in, to dinner and how
disappointed he was to find that the
novelist devoted herself to the dishes
rather than to INTEL ectual refreshment.
He said at last in despair at having
only been able to get Yes" and "No"
in answer to the different subjects he
introduced: I'm afraid I'm singularly
unfortunate in my choice Of topics. Is
there anything we could talk about TO
interest you?"
To which the G. lronicler Of society
shortcomings rep lied: 'There is one

..- nAampie OF Paganlni.

A story is told Of how Paganini once
came into the concert room. took the
violin and touched the strings. First
one string broke. and smile went
round the room; then another string
broke, and there was more audible ex.
preston Of mockery. When a third
string broke, many people laughed out
right at his discontinue. But Paga-
mini stood forth with his violin az
though nothing had happened and
played on the one string, and the peo-
pie ceased {" smile. but listened SPELL
bound. Some Of those who had derid-
ed him began to weep, and some even
prayed.
Many man had fallen helpless by
the wayside when some great catas.
trophe turned the current of his life
aside. The brave man pushes forward
with one remaining talent and plucks
victory from defeat.

BARRE, VT, DECEMBER IS, 1901

The American people, II the census
may be believed, are gaining in long
evity. There has been a distinct de
crease in the death rate as compared
with ten years ago. Tnis fact is
brought out By a comparison in 34l
cities with an aggregate population
OF 81 900, coo In 1890 the death rate
WAS 81 for each 1000 people: ia 1900 it
WAS 6. Not ou]y is this the case,
but the reduction is bciag made ia
those diseases that are generally most
fatal. Toe deaths from consumption
for instance, have dropped from "a "a
in 1890 to 1905 in 1900. There is
also decrease in the lumber Of
deaths usually fatal in early life and
an Increase ia those incidental to age.
The increase is notable in one species
OF di2ca ,e-that OF the kidneys-an
Increase from 59.7 to 93.7. We seem
to have been successful! in preventing
the large ratio OF deaths in infancy, a
problem that stares France in the
+ ce. Nothing is here said about an
increase as to nervous diseases, caused
by or rapid living. Ii may be that
Jcnuvs'y mas been largely overcome

WOULD Thank SCHLEY
Resolution to That Effect Introduced
II the Senate.
REFERRED TO COMMITTEE.
Senate Adopts the RESOLUTION of Sem
atOR Vest Calling For q Re-
port Upon . Method For
Restricting Anarchy.

Washington, Dec. 17.-At the open
ing Of the session Of the senate tbs
chaplain in his invocation made fer
vent plea for the restoration to healtl
Of Senator Sewell, who is critically III
at his home in New Jersey.
Mr.. Jones (Ark) introduced joint
resolution as follows:
"That the thanks of congress and
the American people are hereby tender
ed to Rear Admiral Winfield s. Schley
and the officers and men under his
command for highly distinguished con
duct in conflict with tEs enemy as dis
played by them in the destruction OF
the Spanish feet off the harbor of San
tiagO, Cuba, July 3, 1898
THAT the president of the United
States be requested to cause this reso
luton to be communicated to Rear Ad
miral Schley and through him to the
officers and men under his command"
Without comment the resolution was
affairs.
The senate adopted the resolution OF
Senator Vest directing the committed
on judiciary to investigate and report
upon method for restricting anarchy
and restraining those who attempt the
assassination Of presidents.
The senate then went into executive
session to consider the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty.
Canal Treaty Discussed.
When the resolution providing for
the ratification of the treaty was laid
before the senate, Mr.. Teller Colo,
expressed confidence that the resolu-
ton would be adopted and said that,
while he had no purpose to attempt to
prevent that result. he was convinced
that there are very few senator's who
are really satisfied with the treaty.
With Great Britain in her present
mood he believed. he said that it
would have been possible to secure a
treaty which would give entire salts
faction, and he sharply criticised the
state department for failing to do SO.
He took the position that it would
have been sufficient to abrogate the
Clayton Bulwer treaty and said that
England knew we'll enough that with
that result expected she could very
well trust the United States to main
tain the neutrality Of the canal, as this
country had been prepared to do so for
many years.
During the day the president sent to
the senate the nominations of G.. H.
Roberts, II, to be postmaster ut Brook
lyn and Clayton McMichael to be post
master at Philadelphia.
The senate committee on judiciary
during the day considered the new tes-
timony presented by the Antitrust
league bearing upon the nomina ton of
Attorney General Knox, but decided
not to change its original recommends
ton that the nominatio should be con-
f1rmed. 1t is the purpose Of the com
mittee to seek to secure action by the
senate before the adjournment for the
holidays.

DISAGREE ON
PHILIPPINE POLICY
House Committee Will Not

Chairman Payne Will Not Introduce
Senate Bill in House CubanS
Ask Tariff Reduction

Washington, Dec THE first mat
ters of difference between house md
senate have arisen anent the proper
way Of handling the Philippine Ques-
ton arising from the recent supreme
court decision
Senator Lodge introduced a bill IN
the senate designed to respond to the
new demands by declaring that the
tariff duties collectible in the Philip
pines shall remain in force. thus pro
yiding revenue for the islands. II was
said that Chairman Payne. of the ways
and means committee would accept
the Lodge bill and introduce it in the
house He was asked yesterday II he
would do so.
Il shall not" he replied.
"Win a Philippine tariff bill be in
troduced?" Mr., Dalzell was asked.
"Yes, replied Dalzell. But not that
BILL" in rather contemptuous reference
TO the Lodge bill The members OF the
ways and means committee resent the
introduction OF Lodges bill. it being
their belief that It is designed to rob
them OF their prerogative of originat-
ing legislation to raise revenues. The
committee at once, after its appoint
ment had been announced yesterday,
was called together by Chairman
Payne. The Philippine situation was
discussed, and Il was soon evident that
IL is the purpose Of the committee to
frame bill of its own to meet the sit
uation. The Lodge bill will have a
rough shedding in the house. Another
matter was brought before the ways
and means committee yesterday by
Louis " Place. Francisco Gambia and
Miguel G. DeMendoza. Cubans, who
come to urge a reduction OF the tariff
between Cuba and the United States.
The matter was only broached and
will be discussed later.

animation of DR.. w. p. Carr, who was
called as an expert by the defense yes
terday in the case OF Mrs. Lola Ida
Bonine. on trial for tho murder Of
James Seymour Ayres. Jr., counsel
asked him to give an opinion as to
the relative positions of Mrs. Bonine
and Ayres when the shots were fired.
District Attorney Gould claimed that
the only person able to give such in
formation was Mrs Bonine herself.
Counsel for the defense answered that
the detectives, and the district attor-
ney and his assistant, with their skill
and experience had elected from the
defendant at police headquarters a de-
tailed statement of every fact and cir
cumstance. and that placing her on
the stand would adduce nothing new
Upon this statement, he said, counsel
based their defense.
The court held that the question
could be asked as to the effect OF firing
produced by a pistol at a certain dis
tance from the object. and also within
what distance the person using the
weapon might have stood In order tc
inhict wounds such as were found upon
Ayres' body The witness answered
that from the nature Of the wounds oil
Ayres' body the pistol could not have
been held at distance greater than 2.
