some cities. But, be that as it may, his remark
has had material effect the life Of Bernarth Fried
man, banker and stOckman, of Pawnee, l. T., and
may we hope indirectly be the cause OF the creation
Of new and important branch of commercial enter
prise.
Mr.. Friedman, so the story goes, read Henry's
statement in the papers and few days ago went to
Milwaukee with the object OF getting a wife. For
lack Off better place to co. he drifted into depart
ment store. A young woman saleslady asked him
il he wanted anything. He replied that he was
seeking spouse, and that the object upon whom he
fixed his affections and endowed with his worldly
goods must be Of Hebrew extraction. When he re-
turned to the store the next day. presented to
Mrs. Mcherman, young widow Ofthe brunette type
OF beauty and Israelitish descent. With customary
Oklahoma hustle and Hebrew thrift, Friedman WOO
ed, won and wed the young widow in thirty days,
and is nov taking his department store bargain
home 60 Pawnee.
This incident ought to contain fruitful sugges-
tiOn for the prOprietors OF department stores. 1t
seems surprising, when one thinks Of the big
trade they would almost certainly attract, that the
establishment of matrimonial bargain counters has
been so long delayed. The last census shows that
there are hundreds of thousands Of spinsters and
bachelors scattered over the country. No doubt
that the announcement of great fall cleaning out
sale OF cid bachelors would draw a crowd exceeding
any that ever attended wash goods sale in this
town. And imagine what sensation would be

Nor would old bachelors and maidens Of dubious
age be the only articles that could be secured for
special sales. There are plenty of young women in
such haste to close themselves out that they would
be glad to give the merchant a chance to make q
small margin on them; and bashfuT men would moi

The shopper who is thrifty of time may purchas'
anything from egg-beater to threshing machine
from penny whistle TO an elephant under one roo

the matrimonial bargain counter is the only thing
needed to make the department store complete.

Washington June 16.-In the house,

expended by the United States since
May 1, 1898, for the cost of the army
serving in the Philippines; for the
maintenance of both the military and
civil government of said islands,; for
the transport service to the islands;
for the maintenance of the insular bu-
reau of the war department and for
any other purpose connected with the
occupation and possession of the Phil
ippine islands of the United States"
Mr.. Crumpacker Qnd.) moved to lay
the resolution on the table. The rising
vote resulted 81 to 46, whereupon Mr..
Hay demanded the ayes and noes and
the roll was called. The resolution

Washington, June 16.-President

with Senator Hanna at the latter's res

procity question was talked over on
general lines. The manner in which
the presidents message reafirming his
attitude on that subject was received
also was referred to. 1t was the gen.
eral understanding that the president
had pressed the issue as far as it was
possible for him to do. Those present
claimed that the breakfast was devoid
of any political significance and in
confederation of this statement said
the ladies of the party were present
throughout.

ry Its Provisions Into Effect
Washington, June Ex-senator Ell
kins has introduced joint resolution
in the senate providing for the annex
alton of Cuba and for it's admission as
a state of the Union. The resolution
grants the consent of congress to the
erection of the republic of Cuba as
state of the Union, Ito be called the
state of Cuba, with a republican form
of government, to be adopted by the
people of said republic by deputies in
convention assembled with the consent
of the existing government" A con-
dition is specified that the constitution
of the proposed state shall be sub
mitted to congress not later than Jan.
1, 1904. There also is provision that
the debts of Cuba shall not become a
charge upon the general government.
There also is an alternative provision
giving the president authority, if he
way, for Cuba's admission under the
terms of the resolution itself instead
of proceeding to submit the resolution
to Cuba as an overture on the part of
the United States" If this latter
course is pursued state is to be
formed "out of the present republic of
Cuba, with a republican form of gov
eminent and with representatives in
congress and be admitted into the
Union by this act, on an equal footing
with the existing states, as soon as the
terms and conditions of such admis-
sion shall be agreed upon by the gov
ernments of the republic of Cuba and
the United States
The resolution provides for the ap-
preparation of 100000 to carry its pro-
visions into effect.
The resolution was not referred to a
committee but was, at Mr.. Elkins' sug-
gestion, allowed to lie on the table. A
joint resolution was offered by Mr..
Scott wv. Va.) providing for an en-
survey on the isthmus of Darien to
verify surveys already made for an in
teroceanic canal Eat the narrowest
part of the isthmus." The resolution
was ordered to lie on the table.
Senator Elkins, speaking of the res
olution, said that Texas was admitted
under precisely the same terms as this
resolution provided for Cuba. He said
he preferred the admission of Cuba in
preference to granting 100000 a
year to her out of the revenues,
without knowing where it would go.
BY providing for the admission of Cuba
there would be no more differences in
the Republican party on the subject OF
tariff relations with the island.

who two years ago confessed her ignorance
Of -spiritualism and said that in her opinion
all her feats might be attributed to telop-
athy or hypnotism.
Prof Hyslop at the time Of Mrs. Piper's
statement is said to have asserted that he
didn't believe she had made il or if she
had thai she didn't mean what she said
Prof Hyslop became secretary of the
local sect ion of the America branch Of
the society for Psychical Research. He
was formerly head of the division of psy-
chology in the school of philosophy at
Columbia While he was away on his
sabbatic year last year the new president
Nicholas Murray Butler was installed and
soon after that Prof. j. Mexican Ca,tell
was put al the head of the psychology
division. At the time Prof Hyslop went on
his sabba,ical vacation he said he was i'll
