and he is claimed by both sides. If he
favors the Omnibus bill the measure
will have the support of the majority of
the committee which stands four Demo-
Gratis to seven Republicans. If Bard
should join Quay in voting with the
Democrats it would make the COMMITTEES
six to five in favor of Statehood. The
friends of the Omnibus bill believe that
Bard 10 friendly.
A careful canvass of the Senate has
been made and it lie alleged that the
Omnibus bill can pass no matter what
attitude may be assumed by the major
ity OF the committee. All of the Demo.
Gratis, SO in number, will vote for the
bill, and the following Republicans are
also said to have pledged their support:
Clark of Wyoming, DIETRICH of Neb-
raska, Elkins of West Virginia, Hans
brough of North Dakota. Kearns of
Utah, K ttrldge of South Dakota, Nit
chell of Oregon Penrose of Pennsylva-
MIA, Perkins of California, Platt of New
York. Quay of Pennsylvania, Stewart
and Jones OF Nevada, and Warren of
Wyoming.
This makes fourteen Republicans that
are regarded as certain, with q strong
probability that Bard witt join them.
If there is not a mistake in the calcula-
tions it is almost certain that the bill
will be passed. i.

UNION PR6IFI6 TO
PENSION employees
The System Is Already Perfected
and WIN Become Effective on
January |.

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. "A pension
for the employees of the company
goes into effect on the Union Pacific
January l, 1903. The system has
been perfected and tn rules and the
regulations, which are compiled in
book form, have received the signature
of President Horace G. Burt
With the possible exception of some
printing, nothing remains to be done
but put the system in effect, yet it was
said at the presidents Office this morn
ing that no formal statement wiuld be
made regarding the details of the
proposition just now.
1t is admitted, however, that the
system will be patterned after that in
vogue on the Illinois Central, which is
generally regarded as the most satisfac-
tory and liberal one yet devised
To be eligible under the Illinois Cen
trails system of pensions an employe
must have first been in the service Of
the company ten years or longer
Then, If he has reached the age of 10
he must be retired" There is no
option about this. But he may be re-
tired at SIS, either by the voluntary ac-
ton of the company or upon his own
application, which must be favorably
acted on by the Board of Pensions
The arrangement and control of the
pension department of the Union Pa
cific will be vested In the Board Of
Pensions, whose headquarters will be
in Omaha and whose transactions will
be subjected to the approval of the
President.

An interesting and valuable invas- tigation as to the attitude of the cler- gymen and religious newspapers to- ward the question of opening saloons in New York on Sunday has been made by Zion's Herald. A Methodist journal of Boston. It finds that ay- cry Methodist newspaper in the coun. try, every Eplscopalian, every Congre- gatlonalist but one, every Baptist but one, every organ of every other Prot estant body, and every Roman Cath ollc Journal are against any sort of sunday saloon. Among Protestant ciergymen favorIng some form of Sun day liquor traffic it finds Bishops Poi Ter and Doane and perhaps half a dozen other Episcopalians. two Jew lsh rabbis, the Rev Dr Charles I4 Parkhurst alone among the Presbv. terlans, the Rev Dr AIinot J.

POETRY AND HOGS.

Speaking of cattle recalls the story of the sentimental man and his pracri- cal wife. She looks like dream, but she is right up to the mark in busi- ness. One day, just as the frost was on the pumpkin, he came in. "Darl- ing" he began, T have just been think ing this is most memorable day in our lives. Both yours and mine. Do you know what 1t recalls?
 No" she declared; she didn't think she did.
 What! Not remember this particu- lar date?'' he asked In horror and re- proach. "Oh! surely you must"
 She said again that she didn't, though to oblige him she would if she could, and he bowed his head and looked sorrowfully out of the window at the swaying trees loaded with red leaves.
 Don't say it!'' he exclaimed. Don't tell me you have no recollection of the serious import of this day. Remem- Der, it was just this time in bygone days we made the date memorable. Think! See howl am impressed by the recollection; surely you recall it.''
 A dawning light spread over her face. T believe do!'' she cried joy ously. Yes it was just this time We killed hogs last fall.''
 He gave hollow groan and left the room of his too. too practical wife. It was their wedding anniyersary.-Louis. vile Courier-Journal.

LITTLE OvERSIGHTS.

When Anthony Trollope pictured Andy Scott as coming whistling up the street with q cigar in his mouth, he not only proved that he had never made personal experiment of the double feat of smoking cigar and whistling a tune, but he was uncon- sciously following in the steps of still greater writers who made their heroes do amazing and impossible things.
 Those who remember their Robin son Crusoe may remember a most wonderful feat of this hero of child hood. When he decided to abandon the wreck and try to swim ashore, he took the precaution to remove all his clothes, and yet by some strange magic, of which the secret has been lost, the author makes him, when in this condition of nature, fill his pockets with biscuits.
 The great Shakespeare himself had . peculiar faculty for making the i'm possible happen in his plays. One of the most remarkable of these feats occurs i'll the. fifth act of "Othello,' 2 when DesdemOna, after she has been duly smothered by the Moor, comes to life again and enters into conversation quite rationally, even inventing a gen erous falsehood to shield him from the consequences of his crime be fore she decides to die. The improba bility of q person recovering conscious ness and speech after being smothered and of dying after performing such 3 feat scarcely needs pointing out.
 Shakespeare, too, had a trick of ;n troducing the most glaring anachron isms-so glaring, in fact, that there Is more than a suspicion that they must have been introduced consciously fol some unknown reason.
 For instance he makes clock strike ill ancient Rome at time more than thousand years before clocks were invented, when such an event would certainly have been the eighth wonder of the world.

She was young and nicely dressed ana Fairly pretty. The car was finn When she entered it and most of tha sftters We're women. The girl looked up and down the long lines of raglons anu nar1ng hats, and then planted her. ser directly in front of q yonngish man who sat near the stove. She stared down at him in superhlv scornful manner, but he was an old Dird and evidently didn't mind.
 Then her scornful stare changed to one of deep indignation and this in turn melted into look of pained sur prise. But the youngish man stood it all in a thoroughly hardened manner.
 The look of surprise became a look of pity and presently the girl stooped little and remarked. s.I'm afraid i you don't know who I am?''
 He looked astonished but managed to answer: Your fear is too well grounded. May ask who you arey' The girl stiffened with conscious pride. ''I am one of this seasons buds she said with q superb air of superiority.

Art in the drama will be aptly H. lustrated tomorrow evening at PoM's, when the eminent English actor, E. s. Willard, makes his first and only ap- bearance in Waterbury, presenting his original creation of old Blenkharn, the potter, in ''The AIiddleman." MT Will lard, who is one of the most distin- guished of England's actors, has played this role more than 800 times in every land on earth, winning praise from every manner of critic for the beauty of his conception and the strength of his impersonation. The play Is melodrama of the type that Shakespearean plays are melodramas; that is to say, in the intensity of the emotions played upon, which is the genuine meaning of melodrama. MT

HER COLLAR AIDS THE DOCTOR

t'Yes. I know. Another cold,' said the doctor. T do not know what U ed ical men would do if 1t were not for you women."
 And he turned to the creature of furs and wraps, smiled one of his ap- preciatiye smiles and continued:
 Remove your boa, please. Do you realize that the high collars that wo- men wear around their necks are le- sponsible for nearly all the colds that your sex gets? It is so.
 s.Winter and summer alike you will insist upon wrapping up your delicate necks in high silk, velvet, cloth, linen or chiffon covering. If it be not this, why it is yard or more of ribbon tightly drawn about the neck, and nat urally the neck gets tender and over sensitive from the fancy bandages and swathing that are forever about it. With the first draught there Is 2 cough.
 My advice to you as a friend and physician is to go straight home and When you cure this cold throw away your ribbons and other neck traps Leave the neck bare. Never mind what the other woman wears.
 You will ind your health much 1m- proved if you give your neck q chance to get acquainted with the natural or der of things. My advice does not ap- ply to you alone.
 Tt is intended for all women who wear chokey neck stuff and endanger their health forever catching cold. You may not like my frankness now, but if you follow my advice you vill bless me inside of six months, and your colds will be few and far be. tween in the bargain"

 MT. Search is said to be candidate for the new cabinet position which will be created by the establishment of the proposed department of commerce and industries. He is Philadelphia manufactures, and his friends say he is admirably fitted for the place. Those who are pushing lis claims hint that it is his due for being identified with the original movement demand ing the new department. The Chicago Post points out that Chicago business men were the pioneers in this agita- tion, having brought the subject be- fore the administration four years ago. Chicago, continues that paper, should not let the Quaker City steal it's thunder, and when the time comes might ask with good grace for the ap- pointment of one of it's own citizens. Illinois has one cabinet member now; but so has Pennsylvania, for that mat ter.
