that it lie upon the table. and moved the
adoption of the report. Upon that ques-
ton Mr.. Hay (Va) demanded the ayes and
noes, and the roll called.
The report was adopted-11O to 10. The
report states that previous reports to Con-
gresS have shown that the Secretary of
War had made an allowance of additional
salary to the governor general of Cuba of
SIJ.0O per annum. and that the salary was

The Women of Damascus.

The women of Damascus-that is, the
Moslem women-are more closely veil
ed thar those Of ConstantinopIe and
other eastern cities because the people
here are more tenacious in the observ-
ance Of the ancient customs Of their
race and the requirements Of their re-
Hgion. The wells are thicker, also, and
cover the entire face. Some Of them
are figured SO that the concealment is
even more complete.
Greeks, Jews and Armenians do not
wear wells, and some of them are very
handsome, particularly the Jewish wo-
men. Their eyes, complexion and hair
are superb. The types of oriental love
hness remind you of Solomon's Song.
No women r employed about the
hotels or restaurants. AL the "domes-
nc" work is done by men. In the shops
and manufactures Of Damascus thou
sands OF ome and girls are employ
ed, but they are exclusively Greeks and
Jews. No Moslem would permit his
wife, daughter or sister to appear in d
shop or any other place where men are
employed.-Chicago Record-Herald.

a PLEASING FRENCH TRAIT.

Love Between Brothers a Strongly
nj, Marked Characteristic. 81
One of the ways in which the close
union of French family life shows it.
self is the great affection of brothers
for each other. There is an intimacy
between them in good and evil fortune
which one does not find in other coun-
tries. A brother who takes a high po-
sition by his talents loses no opportuni-
ty to forward the interests of one of
lesser ability Or of no ability. He never
treats the latter as a drag on him, and
perhaps scarcely feels that he is one.
Married brothers often like to live in
the same house, on different floors, and
to hire summer villas in close prox-
unity. b .=a
Most of the famous Frenchmen
whom I knew had each a brother to
whom he was devoted. Louis and
Charles Blanc, though so dissimilar in
appearance, tastes, disposition, and
married to women who disliked each
other, were, morally speaking, Siamese
twins until death severed the bond.

Pages, of Jules Favre and his brother
Leon, Of Ernest and Arthur Picard, Of
Puech, the sculptor, and his brother
the deputy. Paul and Hippolyte Flau-
drin, the painters, were known in their
student days>as the Siamese twins. It
not in%frequently happens that broth
ers go into literary partnership. In
stances that occur to me are the Con
courts, the Rosnys, the Marguerittes.
1t would be impossible to discern the
work of n Of any Of these brothers
from that of another. What is very
curious, each brother, as in the case of
Charles and Louis Blanc, Ernest and
Arthur Picard, Jules and Leon Favre,
differed s%trikingly in every characteris-
tic from the other. The dissimilarity
of the Marguerittes is SO great that one
wonders how brothers could be so un-
like. Alphonse Daudet was not a bit
like his brother Ernest, an accom-.
plished novelist also.-London News. ,

One Of Rhodes Ideas.

A well known peer once asked Cecil
Rhodes to stand godfather to his son,
and he replied that he would on one
condition, which was that he might in
vest 1t once f100 in the boys name
and give f100 on each succeeding BIRTH
day, provided that it should all go on
at compound interest until the boy was
old enough to begin to spend the inter

eide on what to spend It, SO long as it
was not on himself. 'This," said Mr..
Rhodes, "wilf do two things-first, it
will teach your boy how to spend mon
ey, and, secondly, it will make him un-
selfish and kind to those in need

THE CATFISH ZONE.
And the Origin Of the Philadelphia
Habit of Catfish and wafles.

Habit of Catfish and wafles.
While pessimists have been denounc-
ing the extension Of the pie belt
through the United States and the en-
largement of the saleratus biscuit dis
trict, they have been entirely obliyious
of the extraordinary development Of
the catfish zone. This mischievcus
dweller Of the pool is known to the
small boy and the rustic angler under
in another a bullhead, in third a wolf
fish and, most outrageous of all, in
northern Mississippi as a shad. But its
own only genuine title is catfish. The
name is derived from the fact that
when the creature is raised from the
water it emits a grunting protest which
poetical fishermen have pronounced
like the purring of a family cat. 4 a.
Philadelphia produced the catfish
habit. For two centuries the animal
was looked at as something which
might be eaten to prevent starvation
until n fine day a thrifty Quaker
found that the catfish would eat boiled
cornmeal and that this simple food not
only fattened the eater, but changed
the color Of its belly from white to
yellow. He perceived the pecuniary
value Of the discovery and established
a catfish farm in which he fattened the
fishes which he caught elsewhere and
in due season sold them to the Phila-
delphia markets.
A Quakeress soon after that discov-
cred that the old fashioned waffle,
slightly sailed and covered with melt
ed butter, made an irresistible accesso-
ry to the fish when well fried. This
started the catfish and waf1es, for
which the City of Brotherly Love has
ever since been famous. The habit
spread like an epidemic, and, like the
star of empire, it's way was westward.
So far as is known the United States
government has no record of catfish
and waf1es east of the Delaware river,
but starting at Philadelphia a distinct
catfish zone runs westward, terminal
ing at Denver, reaching as far north
as Minneapolis and st. Paul and as far
south as Mobile and New Orleans. The
catfish is said to possess medicinal vir-
tue. 1t is mildly anasthetic, soporifc
n antispasmodic.-New York Post. .

things of that sort. But the business
has become so extensive that one may
find almost anything in either the use
full or the ornamental line in these
places. .e-s.l -s sssaa
II am not speaking Of the curio
shops either, where you can find any
thing from an antiquated penny to the
rarest and most. elaborate thing in an
artistic way, old pictures and new
ones, old books, old anything you may
call for. I have in mind the regular
secondhand houses which do a COM
plete and up to date secondhand bust
ness. Go into one Of these places and
see for yourself the changes which,
have been wrought in the business.
thine was when n of these places
was a junkshop merely, a sort Of old
furniture hospital or almshouse, a
place for chairs with broken arms and
tables with broken legs and beds with
SCARED heads and old clocks with
broken faces and missing hands and
all that sort Of thing. But the condi-
tons are different now. You see, peo-
pie, want to keep up with the process
sion. Styles are always changing. A
new kind of furniture comes in. The
furniture on hand is good as new, but
one must have the new thing, this new,
magnificent kind of sideboard or this
new colored bedroom suit or this latest
thing in something else. The old stuff
is sold and the new kind bought.
'"This is one reason, and the main rea-
son, for the growth of the secondhand
business. Of course the change has
not affected merely furniture and
household goods. 1t has applied to all
the utilities and all the ornaments, and
hence a vast variety Of things may be
found in the secondhand store."-New.

Many Refugees Rescued.
Nearly 1000 of the refugees from
the vicinity of the village of lie Pre-
cheur, suburban village to the north
of st. Pierre, were rescued by the
French cruiser Suchet and the cable
repair ship Pouyer-Quertier, and were
brought here.
As a result of his inspection, the
commander of the Suchet reports
that crevices and valleys are con-
stantly forming in the northern por-
ton of the island, where the land is
in a state of perpetual change. For
tunately, that part of the country
was evacuated in good time by the in
habitants, who fed 20 Fort-De- France.
LAVA Continues to Flow.
Lava continues to stream down the
mountainside, accompanied by terrific

The dearth of provisions is begin
ming to be felt throughout the island.
Numerous families are completely
ruined and even shelterless, while
the means at the disposal of the au-
thorities are much too inadequate to
cope with the distress.
Communication is particularly cut
off from all the surrounding islands
except by stray vessels, which are
seized upon by the inhabitants to flee
from Martinique.

REPORT
OF the Book Committee to the
General Conference.
Reirerates and Emphasizes the
Exoneration of Barbee, Smith
and Stahlman.

Dallas, Tex, May S.-The second
day session of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, conference opened
promptly at 8 o'clock this morning.
The feature of the day was the report
of the Book Committee and the state
ment of the book agents, Messrs.
Barbee and Smith, of Nashville. Tenn,
on the noted war claim matter. This
report embraced nearly 1900 words
and was read by DR.. Collins Denny.
The report reiterates and emphasizes
the exoneration of Messrs. Barbee and
Smith and e. B. Stahlman that was
made by the committee nearly four
years ago. General applause greeted
the reading of the report and it is
thought that majority of the dele
gates agree with the Book Committee
that the subject has already been dis
cussed beyond its merits and should be
dropped forever. The entire matter
is now in the hands of the Committee
on Publishing House interests, which
will probably report week after next

The Disaster CompIete-Present Need
is succor For Survivors.
Washington, May 13.-Secretary
Hay has received the following ca
blegram dated May IL, from United
States Consul Ayme, at Guadeloupe,
who went to Fort-De- France, Martin
ique, by instructions from this gov
eminent:
'The disaster is complete. The city
wiped out. Consul Prentiss and his
family are dead. Governor says 10000
have perished; $4,000 are homeless
and hungry. He suggests that the
Red Cross be asked to send Goldfish,
flour, beans, rice, salt meats and bis
cult as quickly as possible. Visits of
warships valuable"
The navy department, Monday
morning, was notified of the depar-
ture of the cruiser Cincinnati from
San Domingo City for Martinique.
An important feature of Consul
Ayme's cablegram is the reference by
him to the governor as an authority
for the estimate of the loss of life.
Preceding dispatches received at the
French colonial Office in Paris, report
ed that there was no doubt that Gov.
Mouttet, as well as Col. Dain, the
governor at st. Pierre, had
persisted.
The navy department has been in
formed of the departure of the ocean
going tug Potomac from San Juan, ,
p. r., for Martinique. She probably
will arrive there by Tuesday night.

PRESIDENT ACTS PROMPTLY.
The Dixie Ordered to Load Stores
and Clear for Martinique.

SIeaF LOT
Washington, May 13.-The presi-
dent, after conference, Monday
morning with several members of his
cabinet, has ordered the war, navy
and treasury departments to coop
crate in the adoption of steps for the
relief of the Martinique sufferers.
The state department already is act
ing through it's consuls in that sec
ton. The navy transport Dixie Will
be ready to sail from the Brooklyn
navy yard for Martinique on Wednes-
day. The revenue cutter service also
will render all possible aid, and hav-
ing at least two cutters in southern
waters, it is believed they will be or
dered at once to the western Antilles.
The war department already has on
hand, at New York, large amount
of food supplies, and these probably
will be drawn upon. The president
has prepared message, which will
be submitted to congress, urging an
immediate appropriation, to which
these steps are preliminary and an
ticipatory.
Later, by the presidents direction,
orders were telegraphed to the Dixie
TO load the stores which are to be
furnished by the army as rapidly as
possible, and clear for Martinique at
the earliest practicable moment.
