CAUSED SENSATION IN HOUSE.
House Code Committee Decided Upon
Administration Bill as Basis Fo'
LeqisIa1ion-Senate Committee Had
Taken Previous Action.

Columbus, Sept. 10.-It developed
Yesterday that Senators Hanna and
FoK.ker will seek to have the fran
chise clause in the Nash code entirely
eliminated, leaving the present laws
as they are, but that they Will en-
deayor to have a curative clause In
serted which will protect the Interests
Of the Cincinnati traction company,
Which are involved in the recent de-
cisien of the superior court OF GIN
cinnati, holding the Rogers law, un'
der which it had a 50-year grant, with
46 years yet to run, to be unconstitu'
tional. The Nash code provides for
25-year grants, giving councils the
right to revise the fares every IL
years.
Three Sections Passed House.
In accordance with an agrs 9ment
reached at conference Of the Repub
ncan senators the Nash code, which
is to be the basis for legislative &C
ton, was taken up section by section
Yesterday morning, three sections be-
ing informally passed after some I'M
important amendments had been Of
fCred.
The special committee of the house
devoted the morning to listening to
all argument against the board plan
proposed in the governors code AMI
in favor of the federal plan by Harry
A. Garfield of Cleveland. At the com
mittee meeting the question was
raised whether it would not be con
stItutional to authorize councils to
create such boards as the smaller
cities may desire, and to consist OF
one, three or five members. 1t was
suggested that the supreme cour:
might be asked about the matter, and
this was decided upon.
Representative Aaron Price, of
Athens county, in a speech in the
house yesterday morning, denounced
the method Of securing back door de
cisions from the supreme court of the
state and created something of a sen
sation.
administration Bill as Basis.
At a meeting Of the house code
, committee last night it vas decided
to make the administration municipal
code bill the basis for such legislation
as may be enacted. The senate com
mittee having taken similar action, it
is expected the work of the legisla
ture will be greatly simplified. Hear,
ings were given yesterday afternoon

FLOWER FRAGRANCE.
A Mysterious sympathy Between the
Essence and the Bloom.

Essence and the Bloom.
One OF the leading manufacturers Of
perfumery declares that he is quite ccr-
tain that flowers possess souls. The
fragrance Of a flower is actually its
soul, and it exists when the flower it.
self has perished. This is not a poet
ical fancy, he maintains, but is fact.
Certainly the fragrance Of Il flower
IS not n dead thing This seems to be
a curious statement TO make. but it is
4 fact that when certain conditions are
fulfilled a part Of the life Of flower
never seems to die.
Although the fragrance Of flowers
dead years ago may have undergone all
sorts of manufacturing processes TO
extract it and to fix it, yet it never
dies. When the flowers Of the kind it
was extracted from bloom, it exhibits
n marvellous sympathy.
Take, as an example, the case Of jon
quils. At the end Of the year the smell
Of the perfume is constant, but in
spring a change appears. In May,
when the jonquils are in full flower,
the colorless liquid has its scent exalt-
ed to a surprisingly high degree.
When the flowers are in bloom, the
bottled essence is very perceptibly
stronger in odor. As the flowers drOop,
30 does the perfume lose its potency in
strict agreement This mysterious sym
pathy between flower and essence new
er dies. but ever responds TO the prop
er seasons.-Pearson's Weekly.

An Expressive Sentence.

A Cleveland lawyer tells the follow
ing story of an argument made by a
rural barrister before a justice in a
country court in Ohio: The case was
one in which the plaintiff sought to re-
cover damages from railroad com
pany for the killing of COW. During
the course of his argument the coun-
try lawyer used this expressive SEN
tence:
IF the train had been run as il
should have been ran, or if the bell
had been rung as it should have been
rang, or if the whistle had been blown
as it should have been blew, both Of
which they did neither the COW would
not have been injured when she was
killed."

DAIRY NOTES.

Clover Is better than timothy for
cows.
Regularity in feeding and milking is
important
To get all Of the butter the cream
must be uniformly ripened.
In milking squeeze the teats just
hard enough TO get the milk.
Cows that are good producers Of
rich milk must be good consumers.
In order to secure rich milk start
with rich COW and feed her rich
foods
In small quantities cottonseed meal
is a good feed, but in excess it in
jures the butter.
Kicking COW that is lying down
may make her get up more quickly,
but it will not induce her to give any
more milk.
If rocl, salt is kept in the yard where
the cows can lick it every day there
is no danger that they will get too
much AT once.
One Of the most important condi-
tions Of churning is the temperature of
the cream. No guess should be allowed,
but a good thermometer used.

The Laz1nroni of Naples.

\ century ago there were $4,000 "laz-
zaroni' in Naples. Neither disease
nor want has diminished their number.
Their children die at a fearful rate,
but there are many hospitals for the
survivors. and neither board nor lOdg
ing costs them much when. at a ma.
tire age, they are turned loose into
the world to become laZZaroni in their
turn. nSe tner unknown fatners ana

What is n lazzaronef' it may be
asked. According to Colletta, he is a
being who lives how he can without
working. II he puts his hand TO hon
est labor, be is no longer a lazzarone.
II may bc doubted whether the laz-
zarone will ever become extinct. The
'resanitation'' scheme will not ousi
him nor make him change his habits
He is more than half what his climate
makes him.-National Review.

Paris March 1.-THE announcement
that King Edward viii come TO Paris
or his way to Nice. staying two days in
this city and paying a visit TO President
Loubet. is greatly disouieting TO the po-
lice. Indeed, the prospect OF harboring
the British sovereign does not spread
joy throughout Paris, except among pro-
fessional lovers of international harmony.
At police headquarters the police are

they regret that they viii be under the

Pekin, March 1.-THE policies Of Ger

Great Britain had consolidated by the
signing of the Xaugtse agreement a year
ago. have developed an antagonism equal
T. that Of Russia and Japan over Man
churia, also seriously involving the inter

Germany IS the only power refusing to
agree to the reduction Of the large gar
risons the European governments are
maintaining at Tien Tsin, aud the re-
storation of the control Of the native
city OF Tien Tsin. The British diplo-
mists are trying 10 help the Chinese to re-
gain the government at Tien Tsin. and
the reason for British action in block
ins the payment of the February INSTALL
ment of the Chinese indemnity was TO
bring Germany 10 terms. The British be-

irdUcement to the Chinese to grant her Il

T0 ASSERT RIGHTS
Judiciary Doesn't Care to 0c-
cupy Back Seats.
DIPLOMATS MAY STRIKE
If They Aren't Given Prece-
denCe at State Functions.

Washington March u.-Insistence by
congress and the judiciary of their right
to precede ambassadors at official func-
tons may prevent the attendance of
those diplomats at governmental cere-
monies held at the capitol.
Statements of Senator Foraker and
Representative Grosvenor claiming that
the seating of the ambassadors behind
the supreme court was in accordance
with precedent has created a strong feel
ing of antagonism in diplomatic circles.
Secretary Hay has endeavored to medi-
ate between the ambassador and con-
gress, but there has developed a DISPOSE
ton on the part of the senator's to hold
tenaciously TO their view that they
should precede ambassadors upon future
occasions Of ceremony. IL congress re-
fuses to yield it is probable that the am
bassadors will not again appear at the
capitol.
President Roosevelt and Secretary Hay
appreciate that something must be done
to settle the unfortunate controversy
which has arisen. Both Of these officials
emphaticaIIy support the position taken
by the ambassadors. If no action should
be taken offense viii undoubtedly he felt
by the European courts and American
ambassadors wiz suffer petty annoy
ances. which viii seriously affect their
usefulness. BY direction of his govern
ment, the Austrian minister notified Sec
rotary Hay few days ago that his posi-
ton would be raised to the rank Of an
embassy. Austria VIII hardly feel dis
posed 10 have in Washington an officer
representing the person of his sovereign
who VIII be treated. as now, merely as
the representative of his government.
Senator Foraker and Representative
Grosvenor claim that in seating ambas-
sailors behind the supreme court they
were acting II accordance with prece-
dent. and Mr.. Grosvenor mentioned the
memorial exercises Of President Lincoln
and Garfield as cases in point. On these
occasions, however, It was said today
there were DO ambassadors accredited to
the United States. Foreign governments
were represented by ministers.
Mr.. Grosvenor also claimed that the
legislative and judicial branches Of the
government ranked under the Constitu-
ton with the executive. But the state
department holds the Constitution speci-
ically assigns to the president the duty
OF receiving ambassadors and the am
bassadors are accredited to the head of
the state. If it is the presidents duty
to receive the ambassadors 1t is also his
duty to prescribe arrangements for their
reception and treatment at official func-
tons.
The ambassadors understand that so
far as the executive is concerned their
full rights win be accorded to them, but
the administration is unable to control
congress. As congress is a part Of the
government Of the United States. the
ambassadors must report the facts to
their governments with the undoubted
result that some embarrassing questions
