The Omnibus Statehood Bill Under
Consideration In the House
Of Representatives.
AN INTERESTING RUNNING DEBATE
Moon, of Tennessee3 GrosvcnOr. of
ohio; Knox, of Massachusetts;
Stephens, of Texas, 0nh Thayer,
of Massachusetts, Indulge in Some
Sharp SaIlies.

Washington, May 9.-At the open
ing of the session of the house,
Thursday, the speaker announced the
appointment of Mr.. Gillet (Mass.) as
member Of the committee on APP
preparations to fill the vacancy
caused by the retirement of Secre-
tary of the Navy Moody. Without
preliminary business, the house then
proceeded with the consideration of
the omnibus statehood bill, under an
agreement that general debate
should close at p. m. Mr.. Moon
(Tenn.), the ranking minority mem
Der of the committee on territories,
the first speaker, earnestly urged the
passage of the bill, arguing that the
admission of the three territories to
statehood would be only an act of
simple justice to the people residing
therein. The constitutional right of
admission, he contended, existed in
each case.
Mr.. Grosvenor CO., spoke in oppo-
sition to that measure. He said the
weak point in the bill was that it
was an omnibus measure. The claims
of each territory to admission, he ar
gued, should be considered separate
ly. In effect, he declared, this was
a log-rolling proposition. When the
gentleman from Massachusetts (Nlr.
Knox said this was not a political
measure, he declared, he was contra
dieting all the facts of history. From

states. No one, he said could deny
that Nevada was admitted for purely
political purposes.

Mr.. Grosvenor. Mr.. Grosvenor

''The gentleman is democrat" re-
piled Mr.. Grosvenor. "Does he say his

''The people of the district arc
pretty well content" retorted Mr..
Thayer.
'Then they are easily satisfied"

state central committee. Machinery
hall at the state fair gornuds, where
the convention was held, was crowd

The entrance of Congressman Hop
kins and Cannon and Gov. Yates was
the signalafor enthusiastic demon
strations on the part of the dele

man Cannon as temporary chairman
was followed by an enthusiastic dem

at length in accepting the honor, re-
viewing the history of his party and
clarifying the leaders who have
brought the nation to its present
eminence.
The first contest developed when it
was reported that the delegation
from the Twenty-fourth district had
split in caucus and held two meet

credentials committee. Contesting
delegations from two counties in the
district caused the split.
After the committees on reselu-

NO JOKE TO THEM.
Where Sknnks Were Numerous During
 the Autumn

the Autumn.
 Tosay that East Deering and Lunts Corners are oyerrun with skunks may seem joke to most people, but it is far from being regarded as joke, says the Portland (Me.) Advertiser, by the good citizens of these thriving dis tricts. These animals with the fright ful smell are everywhere about that re- gion in unlimited numbers. In for mer years the skunks have been plen- ,tiful, but never before to the extent that they are now. Persons are timid about going out nights for fear of meeting a skunk, and when they do go it is with fear and trembling.
 A family living upon the high ground report that they saw 15 skunks together one evening, and that their grounds have been the rendez- vous for all the pests of that kind in the vicinity. A few nights ago gentleman went home in the latter part of the evening and just as he was going to enter his front yard he stepped on 6 skunk, which at once filled the whole neighborhood with it. odor. He has ever since had his clothes, including a brand-new over coat, hanging out on a line, hoping that the scent would leave them. At lost accounts the garments could be smelled for half a mile
 One day last week lady heard he, dog barking out on the piazza. She opend the door to see what was tbt matter, when she saw skunk not three feet from the door, being held at bay by the dog. As soon as the skunk saw the open door he made fer it, and the lady had barely tine t8 shut 1t and keep Mr. Skunk out of her house.
 Several of the animals have been trapped and a few have been shot, but this has not seemed to lessen the num- Der in the smallest degree. The nui- sanee continues and there Is no way to abate it, to the knowledge of those who live there.
 The other night score of men were going to their homes in an electric ear, when one of these animals got under the wheels. The skunk va. killed, but such a frightful smell the passengers had never experienced be- fore. penetrated their clothing and they took to their homes a generous share of the odor. One man said tha, it seemed to be all through him. He washed his hair and took bath, but he smelled as bad as ever.

LOVE AND THE LAW.

Police Called to Discoursgs Persistent
 guitof.
 If young women generally mean to adopt the method of diseoaraging persistent suitors by having them ar rssrad @5odern courtship will not be without.ifs AriIling moments. Re gently, says the csssseago Daily News, 6 west side young woman summoned the police and had her wooer arrested because he insisted on promenading before her home and serenaling her over the fence. Sunday evening south side damsel, weariad by the persisiegcy of her lover, eiected him Z from n6 house and caused him 10 be ta4ssn away in patrol wagon.
 Probably the young men of the community will net be long in finding out that ssarrants of arrest are not the only legal processes which may be em- ployed in such affairs. If the law is to be invoked there are well-known methods not only of preventing arrest but of making matters exceedingly uncomfortable for the arresting party A really persistent lover equipped with the proper legal papers need have no hesitaney about making calls. With search warrant he could obtain access without difficulty to the home of the loved one and bring her into his presence. With writ of in- junction he could keep out any police officials who might seek to intrude on behalf of the object of his attentions and should he feel an aggrieyed de- sire to get his presents back writ of replevin would meet all requirements. Probably by that time the young woman would have begun to make use of few injunctions and outer pro ceedings on her own behalf, but not until the caller had secured firm legal position from which to make the declaration of his love. Should his declaration fail to impress her, he might be arrested on leaving the house, but he would then have re- course to habeas corpus proceedings and suit for false arrest.
 The courtship of an earlier period, when rope ladders and flashing rapiers played part, may have been more spectacular, but it was subyersive of good government. It was anarchical. The modern method, besides being strictly legal, is not without dramatic mornants

tunate animal acquired liking for drink, with the most deplorable re- suits. IL was not that he occasionally became intoxicated and was thereby unable to pursue his errand of mercy, but his whole moral nature became de- prayed. To such an extent had this deterioration gone that some days ago he was discovered by the side of the road in a perfectly helpless condition, with nothing remaining of his box ex- cept the straps. He was taken care of, and eventually got sober again, when his conduct became such as to excite the utmost wonder.
 He whined piteously and tried to escape. By and by he became very vi olent, and the miners thought he was mad. They would not let him go, but tethered him to long string, and then he led them to place on the side of rocky hill, where they discoy- cred fragments of the collecting box and also the hiding place of the con tents.
 It seemed that after going his usual round on the preceding Saturday the dog had gone to this spot, and by some means-probably by rolling over and over on his back-broken the box 10 splinters and released the money. He had then concealed the coins, and, helping himself to them as his degen- crate cravings prompted, had spent more than half of the money in beer at various public houses in the neigh borhood. Great indignation is felt with the publieans who supplied him, for they knew the dog well and ought to have noticed the absence of his col lecting box. And, moreover, after the first four or five drinks his condition must have been a matter for remark. The dog is now under careful re- straint, and 1t is hoped that he may yet again resume his useful labors.

A NEIGHBoRHooD NURSERY.
Plan for Having Children Cared For at
 Small Cost.

Establishing neighborhood nursery will not be difficult if you know any young woman whom all the children love, and who has to work for living" writes Berthie Fogg Anthoine, in the Ladies Home Jour nal. If so, suggest to her that she take charge of the neighborhood ba- bies from three to seven years old
 for certain sum per month. A large playground and big room are nec- essary. The playground should have a heap of small stones and several mounds of nice dry sand The play room should have plenty of floor space. The goyerness should over look the play and keep the tangles strengthened out. She should punish only in exceptional cases, and by the mildest means, but she should inter- fere before quarrel has reached dan- gerous proportions. As to the finan- cial arrangements, circumstances must govern the details. The aver age female wage-earner receives five dollars week, for six days work of eight to ten hours duration. To the $20 a month add five dollars for rent of room and playground, then divide by the number of children enrolled. 2

AN EASTERN CUSTOM.
Origin of the Barring of the Feet at
 Worship

W0Snlp
 In India Hindus and Mussulmans alike wear both sandals and shoes (slipptrs), and the latter boots also The sandals (the word Is Persian) was evidently the original covering for the feet over 5ll southern and eastern Asia, while the shoe was probabl, in- troduced into India by the Persians, Afghans and Mongols, together with the "tip-tilted'' (Hittite and Etrus- can) boot. Both are usually made in India of leather. but never of pigskin. and while the shoes are always colored red or yellow, the boots are generally brightly parti-colored, both, among the upper classes, being also richly embroidered in gold and silver and variegated silk thread and with ban gles, bugles and seed pearls, after the manner of the ancient Persian boots represented on Greek vases. But, of however rare and costly elaboration, the invariable rule is to remove them after entering private house, just when stepping on the mat or carpet on which the visitor takes his seat. They must be cast off-the right boot or shoe first-before the worshiper enters a temple or mosque, and it is still regarded as an absolute profana- tion to attempt to enter either fully shod. But the domestic habit, says the Athenaeum, arose out of its ob- vious propriety, and the religious rit- ual of "the shoes of the faithful" now and for centuries past observed throughout Islam, can be demon strated to have been dictated by, if indeed it be not derived directly from, the universal social etiquette of the east.

AN EMBEZZLING DOG.
He Wasted on Beer Funds Meant for
 Charity.

A sad story of animal depravity comes from a northern coal district. For some years well-known colliery region has been blessed with the Sery- ices of brown retriever, who, with a collecting box strapped saddle-wlse across his back, was accustomed to travel from pit to pit begging coppers, or even higher contributions, on be- half of sick and benevolent fund. In this way he has some times obtained as much as 22 shillings in single week, says the London Express, and the fund itself has been the means of doing an im- mense amount of good. Ofcourse the miners themselves have been contrib uting out of their weekly earnings, but the dog excited so much interest among them by tbe faithful perform anee of his mission that they readily put their spare coppers into the box he carried.
 Some time ago the dog happened to call at public house, where he know good many of his patrons would be assembled. Besides dropping pen nies into his box and regaling him with biscuits some of them used to let him take a sip or two out of their mugs of beer. h this way the unfor-

Largest Artificial Lake.

Work has been in progress for nearly two years near Denver, Col, in building what, il is said, will be the largest artificial lake in America. Lake Gheesman, as it is called. Is more than seven miles long, and the dam which holds the water back is called the strongest in the world, and is al- ready 125 feet high, though not yet complete. There is not single brick in this vast piece of masonry, the sluiceways having been driven through ssohd mountain of granite at the side of the dam. Lake Cheesman is one of five great sources of water em. ployed by the Denver Union Water company. The lake is already so large that a big boat with numerous scows, as well as a naphtha launch. are in constant use in transporting materials for the construction of the dam.

for "rationals," or "bloomers." No

WASHING FINE LACES.
1t Is the Most Delicate Task Which
the Average Woman Is Called
Upon to Perform.

There is no better rule to give for
having ones laces spotless than to
keep them always clean, and to be
more careful of them than of gold
and precious stones.
An earthenware slab is the first
thing needful. Sometimes there are
old platter trays which are perforat-
ed, or even, with small pieces, the in
side of an earthenware butter dish
would do. Whatever is used first get
your slab. 1t should be, according
to rule, eight to ten inches square,
and pierced with small holes about an
inch apart. The next requirement is
a piece of book muslin or bobbinet
large enough to cover the slab, and
tie securely in the back. To make this
possible, the material is hemmed all
around and double tape run through
the hem, by means of which it is
drawn up.
Next take the lace and fold it quite
small, place it on the slab and cover
it smoothly with the muslin or bob
binet; pull snugly over the lace and tie
it in the back. An earthenware tub,
or one of metal, should be used for
washing, and into this pour a gallon
of cold water, to which three ounces
of soap have been added. If it is pos
sible to allow the time, the lace should
soak in this water for ~ hours. Be-
fore taking it out it must be washed
with the palm of the hand for at least
five minutes. Then it goes into tub
of perfectly clean water, and is washed
in the same way for two minutes.
Boiling is the next process, and
copper boiler should be used. A gall
lon of water, in which four ounces of
soap have been dissolved is poured
over this, and the lace is allowed to
boil for two hours at least. Again
the slab is placed in the tub, and over
it is poured a gallon of hot but not
boiling water, in which have been
dissolved two ounces of soap, the lace
being again washed with the palm of
the hand as before.
Now take the lace from the slab,
reverse it without unfolding, replace
on the slab, cover with the muslin, tie
tightly with the tapes at the back,
and wash at least five minutes with
the palm of the hand. Put again in
tub of clean cold water and wash
it until it is quite free from soap.
If it is badly soiled it can be placed
in the sun instead of being left so long
boiling, and can remain until it is dry.
Starching laces seems desecra-
ton, but here is the way to do it If
one must. To one ounce of starch add
two tablespoonfuls of cold water, and
when the starch is dissolved pour
over it one pint of boiling water. This
is for wal" lace, Cluny, Maltese and
old Devonshire. For Honiton, point
and antique laces one ounce of starch
should be mixed with ~ pints of wa
ter.
With the lace still on the slab, the
starch is thrown over the center and
from there will saturate the whole
surface. With the slab placed in
slanting position the starch will drain
off in about Is minutes. Then place
the slab with the lace on it fiat on a
table, and with a clean, thick cloth
four or five times doubled, pat until
all superfuous moisture is absorbed.
