The Modern Fable Of the Girl
Who Wanted to Warm Up
When II Was Too Late.
Once there was a good Young
Man who delivered Milk and
sang in the Choir. He allowed
his Affections to get all snarled
up with a tall female Elfin
named Sophy. Fate kissed him
off and he lay froze against the
Cushion. It appeared that
Sophy had no time for him be-
cause he was about two Notches
below her in the Social Scale.
Sophy's father was an Auction
eer and Agent for a Patent
Churn.
The Young Man, whose
Name was Otis, removed the
Calf from his quivering Bosom
and began to lay Plans to
humble her Pride. After plac-
ing his Milk Route in the
Hands of a Reliable Agent, he
went up to the City and began
to take Lessons on the Horn.
He praetised until he was able
to crawl inside of a big Oom7
Pah and eat all of the Low
Notes in the Blue Book. The
Hard Part of a Sousa March
was Pie for him. He could
close his Eyes and run up the

House,.

Washington, April 4.-The house to-
day began consideration Of the Chi
nese exclusion bill. No opponents Of
the general principle of exclusion ap-
peared but members were divided in
their support of the two bills present
ed.
Washington, April 5.-The Chinese
exclusion bill was under consideration
in the house throughout today, gen.
eral debate being closed. Without ex-
ception the speeches were favorable
to rigid exclusion and expressed a feel
ing Of repugnance to Chinese. Kahn
of California, author of the bill, was
gratified during the day at reaching
an understanding by which most of the
amendments proposed by the Pacific
coast people will be accepted by the
committee. This probably will lead to
the withdrawal of the minority bill
and the passage of the majority meas
nre. The only amendment at issue is
on the sailors clause and this by agree
ment is to be submitted to a vote.

BLOOD HOUNDS ON TRAIL
ROBBERS SECURE ALL THE
FUNDS IN SAFE.
Explosion Aroused Inhabitants and
No Time Was Lost in Start
ing Pursuit.

Beatrice, Neb., April 5.-The State
bank of Ruskin, Neb., was robbed of
$4,000 in cash at midnight last night.
Bandits, supposed to be five in num-
Der, gained entrance through a win
dow. The doors of the safe were
blown off their hinges. The robbers
took all the money in the bank. The
explosion aroused the inhabitants and
the Beatrice bloodhounds were sent to
Ruskin on a special train, and at once
took up the trail of the robbers and
followed it to a spot about half a
mile west of Ruskin. The dogs were
then brought back to- the bank and
took the trail Of the other two men to
the southwest. The two trails joined
about a mile west of Ruskin where
the entire party had mounted horses.
The dogs are still on the trail, going
in a westerly direction. It is thought
the robbers were riding in an effort
to reach the main line of the Burling-
ton toward Denver.

Washington, April 4.-The senate
today began consideration of the Chi
nese exclusion bill, Mr.. Mitchell of
Oregon making the opening speech.

sity for the exclusion Of Chinese Ia
borers and carefully and deliberately
analysized the bill. He said that it
had been constructed on the basis of
the existing law. in the light Of the
experience of the decisions of courts
While. it's provisions were drastic, the
bill, he said, in some respects was
more liberal than the Geary act.
The Indian appropriation bill was
under consideration for a time but
was not completed.
Washington, April 5.-After passing

clusion measure for nearly three

NEW YORK POLICEMEN ENFORCE
EXCISE LAW.
ALLNIGH1 PLACES CLOSE
Every Precinct in City Represented at
Meeting Of PatroIman,s
Association.

New York, April Sat a meeting
of the Patrolmen's association of
Greater New York today, 1t was decid-
ed that policemen would do all in
their power to keep closed every liquor
saloon in the city tomorrow. Each of
81 precincts of the city were repre-
sented at the meeting. A number
of men present pledged themselves to
make arrests for excise violations
even though they might not be on
duty when such cases were called, to
their attention.
It was expected that 500 OF 600 men
would be present at the meeting. In
stead more than 1000 men were in
the hall. Many Of the men present
were members of what is called 1.-THE.
Second Platoon who are on duty
from 6 o'clock in the evening to mid
night. Many of them are entitled to
be at their homes today. These men
promised to forego their rest in order
to aid the men on duty to stop Sun
day selling. The men who are assign
ed to court duty and other special de-
tails made the same pledge, and it
was agreed that experienced men will
be in each station house and magis-
trate court to aid in obtaining war
rants when they may be required.
When entrance cannot be gained to
a barroom where drinks are being sold
the policeman ON post will visit a
magistrate, after first telling his cap
tain what he is going to do, and get
a warrant for the barkeeper's arrest.
This will be a search warrant and will
empower the server to break into the
saloon to make the arrest. In carry
ing out this scheme a patrolman's
brother-in-arms who is off duty, will
his time to assist the man
ON post. Some of the policemen look
forward to no sleep tomorrow because
of the double work to be done.

EnguIg Residences.

Butte, Mont, April ga serious
caye-in in the 800 foot tunnel Of the
East Colusa mine last night on lower
Main street threatens the destruction
of many dwellings and endangered the
lives of a score Of miners. A gap 100
feet long is constantly widening. The
ground is sandy and water has gradu-

tunnel. There is great danger that
many dwellings will be engulfed.

three men were slightly injured. A
considerable quantity of earth shifted,
causing a hole about so feet square in
the workings and diverting the waters
of Silver Bow creek, which for a time
was difficult to handle. The damage
will be slight.
