From the Theater Gallery.

Mr.. W. PETIT Ridge tells in the Eng
lish Illustrated that the best repartee
he ever encountered was in the gal
lery of a theater. An extremely stout,
good tempered woman contrived to
wedge herself into a space that would
have accommodated person Of ordi-
nary size, to the unconcealed annoy
ance of smartly dressed youth next
to her. She began to peel an orange,
and the youth, with a gesture of COM
plant, removed his silk hat fussily to
safer position.

woman, chat you'd rather have had a
gentleman sitting by the side of you,
sir, wouldn't you"
The youth replied snappishly in the
affirmative.
"Ah," said the woman thoughtfully,

Presence of, Mind.

During a performance at one of the
London theaters a man and his wife
had to quarrel on the stage, the wom-
an in a rage Of jealousy, the man try
ing to persuade her that she was too
suspicious and too passionate. Both
were acting with great spirit when the
wife moved her arm too near the can
die, and her muslin dress was in flames
in an instant. Both actors kept their
heads, however. The husband extin-
guished the fire and, proceeding with
his part, interpolated:
"You see, my dear, was right. You
are ready to flare up at the least thing"

Favor of Its Adoption-London Dock
Charges Bill Passes the Senate,
Without Amendment, After Much
Opposition.
Washington, June 17.--At the open.
ing of the session of the house Mr..
Cooper (Wis.) asked unanimous con-
sent for the consideration of resolu-
ton to make the Philippine civil gov

day, and for night sessions from to
1920 p. M, for two days consideration
under the five minute rule and final
vote at o'clock an Thursday, June &c.
Mr.. Richardson, the minority leader,
asked if the effect of the rule would
not be to cut off all except committee
amendments.
Mr.. Cooper said it was the intention
of the committee to allow the widest
latitude in amendments.
There was no objection and the res
olutien was adopted without division.
Mr.. Gillet (Mass.), chairman of the
committee on reform of the civil serv-
ice, reported back from the committee
the resolution calling upon the secre-
tary of war for the reasons for the dis
missal from her position in the classi.
fed service of the war department Of
Rebecca ]. Taylor and moved that the
resolution be laid upon the table.
Upon that motion Mr.. Shallenberg

and the roll was called.
Mr.. Gillet's motion prevailed, 100
to "a.
Mr.. McCleary (Minn.), Mr.. Cromwell
co. and Mr.. Minor-( Wis0 voted with
the Democrats against the motion.
The case of Miss Taylor has excited
some attention because she was dis
missed for writing a letter, appearing
in a Washington newspaper, headed
''The Flag Shall Stay Put" criticising
the presidents attitude in reference
to'the Philippines.

An English paper tells story Of
some children's theatricals. A party of
children were giving little drama Of
their own, in which courtships and
weddings played leading part in the
plot. While the play was in progress
one Of the grownups went behind the
scenes and found very small girl sit
ting in the corner.
"Why are you left out?" he asked.
"Aren't you playing too"
ooh, rs not left out" came the reply.
"I's the baby waiting to be borned."

THROUGH THE SENATE.
Nelson's London Dock Charges Bill Is
Passed.

Washington, June Ito furnish
more time for the consideration of the
isthmian canal project the senate SEES
sion began at II o'clock.
AT the conclusion of routine business
Mr.. Teller (Golo) offered resolution
calling on the secretary of war for an
itemized statement showing the col
lection and disbursement of all funds
for the whole period of the military
occupation of Cuba.
Mr.. Kean IN. j. objected to imme
date consideration of the resolution
and it went over.
Consideration was then resumed of
the London dock charges bill, the
measure being discussed by Mr.. Nc
Cumber' IN. d., Mr.. Nelson >(Minn.) !,
Mr.. Gallisger IN. H. and Mr.. Hale
(Me). Mr.. Hale could not see why
the amendment offered by Mr.. Hoar
should not be accepted. Mr.. Nelson
contended that this London charge was
IAN arbitrary and fixed charge, not
subject to competition" If the charge
were included in the freight charge
that would be subject'to competition.
After some further discussion the
vote was taken on Mr.. Hoar's amend
ment which provided that nothing in
the act should prevent the carrier from
STIMULATING for reimbursement to him
by the shipper or consignee of any
charges which he lawfully may be
compelled to pay for compensation for
any service which he may agree to
render. The amendment was rejected,
to 26. The bill was"then passed.
Provisions of the Measure.
The bill provides that no master,
agent or owner of any vessel trans
porting goods from the United States
to foreign posts shall insert in the
bill of lading or other agreement any
clause whereby he shall be relieved
from liability for loss or damage arts
ing from negligence, fault or failure
in proper loading or proper delivery OF
any goods committed to his care; or
any clause or agreement whereby there
is imposed on the copsignee any port
or dock charges of any kind for the
discharge or delivery of the goods
the payment of which by law is i'm
posed upon such master, agent OF
owner.
At o'clock, at the conclusion of the
morning hour, the senate resumed the
consideration of the isthmian canal
PROJECT, MI. CullOm (lll) ADDRESSING
the senate.
Mr.. Cullom favored the Spooner
amendment. He said that for many
years the belief had prevailed that the
Panama route had been impossible,
since all attention had been given to
the Nicaragua route. The danger
from volcanoes by either route was
about equal. He pointed out the diff
ferences in favor of the Panama route
as to cost, length and time of passage.

PIGEON NEST CABINET,

The bottom row of nests is raised
from the floor by n basc.hoard two

rest.
The cabinet here illustrated is made
for 20 pairs of birds. 1w" such cab
incts, one on each side ~ n room ten
by twelve feet, would comfortably ac-
commodatc 20 To 50 pairs. allowing n
few nests for birds that may claim two
sections.
Only the upright partitions are made
secure Ia the building. The top and
shelves should not bc fastened. and
may easily he moved when cleaning.out
time comes. One point must bc rcmcm-
bcred, no nest cabinet should he hnilt
more than five nests high, and where
one is not cromped for room four nests
high would be better.
The top Of the cabinet makes good
resting place for birds not on the nest,
and no other pcrchcs are needed. In
nearly every pen there will he pair or
two that will persist in building on top
Of the cabinet. and, IL they are to he

them n nest pan or box. for in most

HARD TO FILL NAVAL RANKS
DimcuIt Problem ConfrOnts General
Board that is wrestling
for a solution.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-secretary Long
has disapproved a Recommendation OF the
general board respecting the admission Of
naval constructors 70 the service. The
board has been giving , great deal Of at
tentiouato the matter Of Insuthcient num-
ber Of Junior officers a. present and the
prospective inadequacy Of the naval acad-
emy 20 supply the needs. f.i4,
Thus far the board has besn unable to
hit on any plan that wiitss .ssssn the situa-
tIon entirely id the :mmsslete future. but
as a measure Of ameliorationsit has recon-
mended that the practice be discontinued
of transferring to othe construction corps
the three cadets who graduate at the head
of their class at Annapolis. Instead. they
would give these cadets line places and ap-
point naval constructors from civil life.
Secretary Long, however, has disapproved
this Recommendation, though he has quali-
fed the dlsapproval by an amendment of
the present practice, so that the. three
highest graduates are not necessarily to 60
into the construction corps, but that va
cancies in that corps may be filled by the
selection Of any one Of the graduates.

CUMBERLAND. Nd, Feb. 7.--At o'clock
this morning the farmhouse Of william

Of here, on the Maryland side of the Po-
tomac river. was destroyed by FIRE and
four OF the Robertson children. Pearl.
Owen, Effie and Joseph, the oldest aged
10 and the Youngest I years. were cre-
mated.
The Ere. which fs thought TO have started
from sparks from an open hearth. spread
SO rapidly that Mr.. and Mrs. Robertson
found all means Of escape gone for the
children, who were asleep in another room
and were compelled to jump from second
story window. dressed only in their night
clothes, In order to save their own lives.
The parents made several futile attempts
to reach the children. but were driven
back by the flames, and after the fire had
subsided somewhat they were almost frozen
before aid came from neighbors,
Mr.. Robertson claims the hearth FIRE was
we'll covered and that the fire, which
started from the lower floor, must have
been Of incendiary origin.
The tragedy recalls the murder OF an
old man ramed Kessler and the burning of
his house, also the burning OF the house
OF an old woman, in which she and her
granchild lost their lives, both of which
occurred several years ago in the vicinity
OF this mornings fire.

FLOODED BY MANITOBA WHEAT
Northwest MilIers Are Planning
Course 10 Avert Injury
TO Their Interests.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. THE immense
crop Of wheat raised in Manitoba last year
has caused a generalization in the market
and had severe effects on the milling in
dustry OF the northwest. Foreigners are
able to buy certain grades Of Manitoba
wheat at cents a bushel cheaper than
American wheat. with the result that It is
being purchased. made into -four in Europe
and sold in competition with American flour
at prices that the Minneapolis millers cam
not reach.
AS a way to put an end to this competi-
tion the Minneapolis mills have considered
the possibility Of bringing Manitoba wheat
to Minneapolis In bond. grinding in local
mills and reshipping to Canada. Inquiries
recently made OF the revenue department
develop the possibility Of importing by pay
ing a duty OF cents a bushel. which will
be refunded when the manufactured prod
uet has been returned to Canada.
