pared for Emergency De-
casionz

The house will have medical chest
located in the office of the sergeant
at arms, after the fashion of the one

number of years. In December last
Mr.. Wilson, of Brooklyn, introduced
a resolution directing the sergeant at
arms to purchase an emergency case
of medicines, and suitable instruments
for minor operations for use in the
case of illness or accident to persons
in attendance at the house. to cost not
more than $50.
No action was taken upon the reso-
luton, but the recent attack of serious
illness of DELICATE Mark Smith, of ARR
ona, upon the floor of the house. EN-
phasized the necessity for the provi-
sion sought. to be- made by the resom-
tion. The committee on accounts has
favorably reported, and it has been
adopted with an amendment providing
that the contents of the case be select
ed by Representatives Wilson. Ball, Of
Delaware. and Showalter, of Pennsyl-
vania, members of the medical profess
sion. --.s
In its report the committee said:

should be kept on hand The neces-
sity for them has frequently been
shown when members, employees and
visitors have been taken suddenly i'll,
In such eases no difficulty was ex-
perienced in promptly securing the
services Of physician from among
the members of the house, but delay
in procuring medicines and instru-
ments has often imperiled life" Mr..
Meyer, of Louisiana. bore testimony
to the desirability of the purchase,

Mr.. Robertson, suffered an attack OF
acute Indigestion, so severe that had
it not been for the prompt treatment
afforded by DR., Wilson, of Brooklyn,
he must have died before a physician
from outside could have been secured"

Stopped a Fight.

Guthrie, Okla, July 31.-NIiss Ber-
nice Montgomery, a Chicago actress,
who is spending his summer here,
became heroine by preventing the
commission OF a murder near here
yesterday.
While driving in the country with
two young ladies of Guthrie, they
met two farmers desperately quar-
reling, one Of whom, in a drunken
condition, had assaulted the other,
who, in turn, drew a revolver and
threatened to murder his assailant.
Miss Montgomery quickly leaped
from the carriage, grabbed the re-
volver and compelled its owner to
get in his wagon and drive on. The
fellow was determined on a fight, but
she was again equal to the occasion
by taking his blacksnake whip from
the wagon and threatening to horse
whip him unless he also drove toward
home. Her argument was sufficient.
the farmer obeying reluctantly. The
companions OF Miss Montgomery
returned 10 Guthrie and announced
her encounter.

SaloOnkeeper Claims Right to Sell tt
Women.
Women.

Washington, July 30.-A case was
docketed in the United States SUI
preme Court to-day intended to test
the right OF municipal corporations
to prohibit the sale of Intoxicating
liquor To females.
That case is that OF Daniel Cronin
against the city Of Denver, Colo.
Cronin is the owner of IA saloon, and
opened wine-room for women. The
record shows that he asked for an in.
junction to restrain the city from en-
forcing an ordinance prohibiting the
maintenance OF such a place for fe-
males, claiming that the law is un-
constitutional, because it discrimi-
mates against women, and also be-
cause it ceprives him of property
without due process of law.
He contended that he had as much
right to sell liquor to women as to
men and that they have as much
right to drink as men have. He also
referred to the circumstance that
equal suffrage prevails in Colorado,
and argued that since women had
been given the right Of suffrage they
stand on the same footing in all re-
spects with men and hence "are en-.
titled to the pursuit OF happiness,
and the same rational enjoyment as
their brothers"
The District Court upheld this con-
rention, but the finding was overrul-
ed by the State Supreme Court.

Bishop Burgess Declares That They
should Not Wear Cassocks and
SUPPLIES.

Bishop Burgess, Of the Episcopal
diocese of Long Island, has sent out
a notice that the presence of women
in the supplied choirs Of the diocese
is distasteful to him, and he has or
dered that the women singers in the
nine missions attached to the Ca
thedral of the Incarnation, over which
he has direct Jurisdiction, be retired as
soon as possible.
Women should not wear cassocks

Devils Auction" Tonight.

If there is one word more than anothe''
that should be prefxed to the
title of Chas. II. Yales' Everlasting
Devils Auction" this season, that word
is new" for this season the Devil
Aucti. is not only new in every feature
but it IS interpreted by new people, IN
fact as Mr.. Yale tersely expresses IL,
You may have seen the Devils AUG
ton but you haven't seen the DeNii
Auction of this season..
In many respects this famous spectacle
Is the most remarkable ever produced in
this country. 1t is the only entertain
ment OF its kind that has been on the
road continuously for twenty years, and
yet throughout all the seasons IL has nev
or been the same during any two. This Is
Il record that stands without rivalry. In
face, there has been put into the Devil :
Auction during its existence enough of
novelty in succeeding years to have put
out at least twelve complete shows, and
not only has the matter always been new
but the quality has constantly improved
until now the Devils Auction" is not
only better than it has ever been before
but it better than any entertainment OF
its kind with which the public has beei
regaled.
During the forthcoming presentation
of the Devils Auction in this city a
the Opera House tonight these facts viii
no doubt be forcibly impressed on all who
witness the performance. The Devil:
Auction" has in fact, become such III
established favorite in theatrical center.
throughout the country that most regu
lar theatre patrons do not think thci
season of pleasure thoroughly complct,
unless they see the Devils Auction
new feature this season entitled "Th
Dance to the Moon,' an European nov
city, has never before been seen in thi!
country.

NINE. BLAUVELT, APRIL S.
The Seat Sale Will Open at Opera
House, This Morning.

Mr.. II. NJ. Bearse, patron of the best
music and personally acquainted and
familiar with the work of most of the
great artists of this country and Europe,
thus compares Madame Blauvelt, who is
to appear at the Opera House, April ..
with the divine Patti. Mime Blauvelt is
the only artist in the country, if not in
the world that in charming personality,
voice and execution can compare with
Patti I'm fact she is the only one Who
succeeds that matchless diva. 1t is to
be regretted that she is soon to leave us
for her European engagements Music is
something more than the mere setting OF
the hands and feet in motion. The music
of the great masters as interpreted by
Nine. Blauvelt touches the heart and IS
soul inspiring. 1t is elevating. 1t is a
religion. Music in its highest form of
religion. Let the rising generation listen
to that superb voice, and it will inspire
them to efforts in the future"
Nine BlauveIt will be heard at the OPP
era House on Saturday evening April D.
in a song recital. The seat sale will open
this morning.
