 He couldn't stir Roeber and the crowd yellld in deris.on. Roeber, in a nom Ut. jumped to his feet and Pons looked to be out of breath.
 On their feet they walked around the ring for the next five minutes, Rotber gett ng another body hold and throwing the Frenchman on his side. That was Roebsrs best chance. He got a half Nelson and put all of hs strength into a supreme effort. Tn Frenchman lay on his side and shoui- der and then with grelt str ng h he threw Roeber off and jumped up.

WHAT A BRIDAL COUPLE SAW

Wonderful Objects Of Interest Added
 to the Many Features at Niagara
 Falls.
 In 1884 Herbert Wilson, whose home was in an adjoining state. visited Mi agara Falls on his wedding trip. On leaving the hotel he took his bride to the park, so that she might drink in the full beauty of the great cataract. The highest hopes of both were realized, and their hearts were happy. Both felt nothing could interest them more than that beautiful scene. Fifteen years lat CT MT. and Mrs. Wilson again found themselves at the Falls. When they were there before, there was a charge to view the Falls. Now it was free. However, MT. Wilson's order to the cabman when he left the hotel was to drive to the big power house. In the years that lad elapsed since his mar riage Mir. Wilson had become interest ed in the industrial growth of the coun- try. He was alert to the possibilities of the electrical development and on this second trip to the Falls the thing he wanted to look upon first was the wonderful power station.
 It is so with thousands. The Niagara power development has set the world to thinking on this subject. From all sections. from all countries. men travel to Niagara to view the installation ip the central station of the Niagara Falls Power company and in the station of the Niagara Falls Hydraulic Power and Manufacturing company. Men who have reached prominence in scientific and engineering fields on more than one continent look upon the Niagara development with astonishment. Is 1t any wonder. then, that the use of Nj agara power in connection with the Pan-American Exposition is destined to astonish the world by what will be accomplished by it's use?
 Never before was there such sup. ply of electric power at the command of man; never before has any man known so nSlch about electricity as he does today; never before has man been able to handle the subtle current so reasons it is plain to be seen the cleo. trical effects of the Pan-American EX. position will be so notable that they will give to the beholder somewhat the same feeling of surprise that the first white man must have had when he viewed the falls of Niagara. And in the development of these electrical eff fects diverted portion Of the tumultu. ous waters that pour over the mighty precipice will play a part.

He declared the acton in volved del,beTata purpose to break down oppos ton senators physica l 2 and prevent the passage of the appro- priatiOn bills.
 He declared that tho sh pni~g b1' was part of a great scheme to place al transportation facilities under one control.
 II believe" said he. "that this bil' proposes to place our commerce of tn ! seas under the control of the men who now are trying to get the land trans portation routes hy the throat.
 ''So help me high haaven," he short ed passlonately, T W Il not be a party to this effort to throttle free speech We give you notice, if you will have night sessions. that you must have a quorum here all the time. as we do not propose to contribute in any way to a tyrannical effort to suppress free speech by brute force."
 MT Aldrich said MT Jones's remark : were so extraordinary as to reGu'r ro attention. He said no public bushes now was .dema,id:n9 the attention O. tbe erate. No appropriation bill were pending. All that senators on his s'da of the chamber asked wa that the senate should proceed in an orderly manner.
