Another Quarter Million to Enforce
Antitrust Law.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Representa-
tive Bartlett, OF Georgia, (democrat)
during the consideration of the legis.
lative appropriation bill in the house
to-day Unexpectedly and without
warning sprang an amendment to
the appropriation OF $25O,0OO toen-
force the Sherman antitrust law and
to direct the attorney general to pro-
coed to the prosecution OF all viola.
tors OF the law. Although such pro-
visions was plainly amenable to a
point OF order, not a member on eth
er side of the house raised an obiec-
ton. Both sides wheeled into line,
and all agreed some such action was
advisable. Some OF the republicans,
however, raised an objection to the
looseness OF the language of the
amendment and Hepburn of Iowa
offered as substitute for it the Ian
guage of the bill he introduced on
the opening day of the session to ap-
propriate 100000 for the enforce
ment of the law. This was further
strengthened to make theappropria-
ton Immediately available and as
an amendment to the substitute was
agreed to without division. The leg
islative bill passed practically as it
came from the committee, except for
amendment.

PAPER Saws.

Paper Says.
Philadelphia, Dec. 1S.-The Phila.
delphia Press says: Much interest
has been aroused among musicia ms
in this city by the recent operate
debut in Paris OF Miss Elizabeth
Parkinson. a grand niece of Mrs.
John V, McCullom OF 2006 Spr uce
street. Miss Parkinson, who is in
her 22nd year, and is of remarkab lie
beauty, took the music loving Par
isians completely by storm, accord
ing to advices from the French capt.
tai
Paris is ringing with the praise OF
the American girl who thrilled dis.
tinguished assemblage with her mar
velous richness. The French musical
critics are a unit in declaring that
Miss Parkinson gives promise of de-
veloping into an operate star of the
first magnitude. The news OF her
grand niece's success was conveyed
to Mrs. McCullom through the me-
dunn OF n special cablegram sent by
Nine. Marchesi, this famous prima
donna under whom Miss Parkinson
studied.
Mrs. McCullom is identified promi.
nentlv with the Coxial set in this
city and is IA devotee to music. When
questioned in her home yesterday
she stated that she was gratifed at
Miss Parkinson's triumph.
81 am very much pleased she
said, "at Elizaheth's success. Four
years ago predicted that she would
make her mark in the musical world |
and she has more than justified this
prediction
When Miss Parkinson returns to
America probably in the spring, she
will visit Philadelphia as the guest
of Mrs McCullom The opera in
which Miss Parkinson made her
debut was "Lakme' At the end OF
the first act the young singer was
recalled several times and at the close
OF the performance the curtain was
raised three times in response to the
applause.
1t was due to Mrs McCulloms
assistance that Miss Park
inson has been able to study in
Paris.

CHAMP CLARK MAY LEAD.
A Possible Democratic Nominee For
the Speakership.

Nhe opSdAeISnlp.
Washington, Dec. 19.-The Demo
Gratis in the Missouri delegation il
the next Congress will nominate Rep
resentative Champ Clark for tn,
Democratic nomination for Speaker
Representative DeArmond has been
thecandidate of the delegation in the
last three Congresses and it has been
understood that his selection would
again be urged. Mr.. DeArmond
however, appears Indifferent this
time at least. He shows a disinclina
ton to again seek the delegation e
support, and Mr.. Clark probably W i'll
be put forward.
The members of the delegation at a
meeting at the capitol last night dis
cussed the situation, but formal ac-
ton was not taken owing to the
absence OF three OF the Missourians,
who have gone home for the holiday
recess. A member said there was ev-
cry reasop to believe that Mr.. Clark
would receive the united support OF
the delegation. Among the Missouri
congressman's friends it is known
that since he was first elected to the
House he has entertained an ambi-
ton to be Speaker.
As the Republicans have had con-
troll OF the House for the last three
sessions there has been no opportu-
nifty for him to make acontest. Four
years ago he was urged by his friends
to seek the Democratic nomination
and decided to do so, but gave way
to Mr. DeArmond, who had the sup.
port OF a majority of the Missouri
delegation. The nomination of the
will be an empty honor SO
far as the Speakership is concerned,
but it will be eagerly sought for the
reason that it will carry with it the
Democratic leadership on the floor.
Mr. Richardson, who has been the |
choice OF the Democrats in the last |
three Congresses, will again be a can.
lidate, but his success is considered
doubtful as he has not added 10 his
popularity by his leadership. Mr..
Jlark's supporters believe that he
will have better than a fighting
,lance in the party caucus.

Lightning Rod Men at Work.

Hiawatha, Kan, Dec. 1S.-The
lightning rod swindler is working his
old game throughout this section
An agent takes orders from farmers
to put rods over all their buildings
and finally gets them to sign some
sort OF contract. The contract
turns up later as a note for big
snm. In once case the man who went
ahead made verbal agreement with
a farmer to put up lightning rodsfor
$50. The next day two men ap-
peared to put up the rods. One OF
them had note for S192, signed by
the farmer. One man always pretends
to be a lawyer and by threats OF suit
and trouble in the courts, usually
gets the farmer to pay all or a large
part OF the note. The men are good
judges of human nature and seldom
spend much time with a man they
cannot coerce.
