The friends of the Cuban reciprocity
bill won q substantial victory in the
house by carrying a motion to close
general debate on Friday at 2 o'clock.
The vote WAS 1913 to 1928 Thirty-three
Republicans voted against the motion
but this detection was offset by thirty
two Democrats who voted with the
great body of the Republicans for it..
The strength of the Republican opposi-

has decreased six since the vote was
taken on the motion to go into the COM

In the House.

Washington. April 16 - With the
close of the Cuban reciprocity debate
in the house yesterday the leaders an
nounced that all danger of the bill be-
ing weighted down with undesirable
amendments was over and that they
felt assured the bill would pass in the
shape in which it came from the COM
rnittee. AS the bill in it's present form
is sure to command three-fourths Of
the vote of each side of the house. it's
passage was certain il it successfully
passed the stage when amendments
could be offered. The only cause Of
nNlety heretofore he's been the posi-
NIFTY that enough Republicans would
JOIN with the Democrats to overrule the
chair and tack onto the bill an amend
!nent to abolish the differential on re-
Tned. sugar. All the energies OF the
leaders have been directed, therefore,
to bringing pressure to bear on the re-
calcltrtnt Republicans to induce them
to refrain from aiding this plan, and
last night at the close of the session Of
the house it was announced that the
entire Republican delegations from
Michigan and California, who consti-
tute the head and front of the opposi-
ton. rad agreed not to vote to over
ride the ruling OF the chair. An I'M
successful effort was made again yes
terday by Nv Payne to secure an
asrecn'ent to limit the general debate.
When the house adjourned there te-
manned thirty-tive members who desire
to speak
Era the Senate.
The debate on the Chinese exclusion
bill was practically con GUIDED yester-
day and voting On the bill and amend
ments will begin at ! O'Clock to-day.
BY general consent a vote was taken
yesterday On two important amend
Eents offered by Mr.. Fairbanks of
Indiana, striking out tho definition us
to Chinese students and teachers, and
they were agreed to without division.
These changes were made with n View
to conciliate some of the opposition to
the bill, which had been directed to the
rigiG exclusion Of students and teach
ers and the unnecessary Inconvenience
this would impose on the educated
Chinese classes coming to this country.
The debate was participated in by Sen
ators Heitfeld of Idaho, Penrose Of
Pennsylvania and Turner of Washing
ton in favor of the BILL and Senators
Pritchard Of North Carolina and
Spooner Of Wisconsin in opposition.

According to "A Specific Period.
New York, March Elm the present
cult of antique furniture no period

Iector and house-decorator; yet,
strange to say rooms are seldom free
from anachronisms. Very hazy notions
prevail regarding the Colonial furni-
ture of America" for people forget
that the Adam. Heppelwhlte, Shera-
ton. and Empire styles were introduced
after 1875, when there were no longer
American colonies. The only correct
colonial furniture. therefore, is the
Tudor, Jacobean, Dutch, Queen Anne,
and Chippendale. Genuine pieces of
these periods are extremely difficult to
find even in England. but excellent re-
production can be procured, and there
is nothing to prevent one from fur
nishing a room in any OF the elegant
styles of the past
There is one thing to be borne in
mind in the selection of furniture.
Those who buy good reproductions or
old designs (and these are likely to
improve as the demand for them in
creases), will, in all probability, have
more correct and artistic examples in
their houses than those who depend
upon finding genuine antiques" After
all. what one wants are beautiful de-
signs and patterns and a knowledge of
the appropriate setting to give them.
For tunately, many of the baronial
homes Of England remain intact, and
from them a correct idea of the beau

furniture can be obtained. Illustration

dence to be moved about the Room
at pleasure.
Before mentioning the various pieces
of furniture common to the Jacobean
room, it Is well to recall that this is
a period of oak and walnut. Mahogany
was so rare then, that to admit a
piece of this wood in a strictly Jaco-
bean room would be a blemish. Gener-
ally speaking, the furniture was mas
sive and four-square. depending on its
carving. its ornamentation and it's up
holstery for its decorative charm. The
curve never appeared save in the scroll
ornamentation that frames the panels
of the chairs and appears again on the
bottom rail. The springing Gabrielle leg
had not yet been introduced. nor had
the perforated and carved chair back.
The Cupboard.
Sideboards were unknown to the
Stuart period but its forerunner, the
cupboard, was a characteristic piece
Of the time. In the early Jacobean
days livery supboards" were frequent
ly used and the court cupboard was
practically universal. The livery
cupboard" consisted of shelves, like an
ordinary dresser, the lower part of
which was enclosed with DOORS and
here the plate was kept when not in
use. Usually, the shelves were deco
rated with a display of the plate
pewter and Delft, Faience, and, in very
rich houses, some porcelain. Silver
plate was highly esteemed and families
of even moderate means possessed a
goodly quantity. The shelves of this
livery cupboard" were covered with
so called cupboard cloths" the ends of
which were fringed. The court cup
board of which many specimens still
exist, is an ornate article of carved
work. The lower part often has doors
and the smaller columns at the side
and is in the form of a half hexagon,
that leaves a shelf in front, and space
at the angle. These articles may be
also placed on top, or to use the old
expression con the cupboard head"
The doors, panels and pillars of the
court cupboard" are often richly
carved and it frequently stands on
bulb or "acorn" shaped feet The
court cupboard" exists in many
varieties, sometimes it has pillars in
the lower part, as we'll as in the upper
and at the top of both tiers there are
drawers. Sometimes also inside the
doors there are drawers in which case
it is called a, cupboard of drawers"

the young woman in referring to the

Tables.
The characteristic table of the
Jacobean period is the drawing table,"
a solid piece of furniture with massive
carved legs. It's top is a large slab
of oak, and beneath it are two other
leaves, which are drawn out at each
end, the large slab then falls into the
space they occupied and the length of
the table is doubled. The small
tables are known as round" and
"oval' tables. They somewhat resemble
a four-legged stool and have falling
leaves supported by brackets. Some of
these are to- day Called popularity but

form of the round and OVAL table is

flaps or falling leaves, which are sup

known as the thousand legged" or
"gate-legged" tables. The table in the
Jacobean room is invariably covered

New York, March 21.-The fashion of

of the women are studying as to how
much false hair is needed to achieve
the prevailing mode.

intelligent woman how to do unaided
at least two or three of the new twists,
and with this arrangement how to- give
the head the air of compact neatness,
upon which every American woman in
sists. The importance Of knowing how
to comb your hair in a good rear coil
or higher is made impressive by the
spring hats. All the shapes are cut,
bent and trimmed to harmonic with
the hair when dressed low, and the
