Washington, June 19.-The house yes
terday spent the day consid ering tho
bills reported from the judiciary COM
mittee. BY far the most important
measure was that to amend the exist
Ing bankruptcy law. The minority
made a vigorous effort to repeal the
present law in toto, but was over
whelmingly defeated, 65 to 1871. The bill
as passed amends the law in fifteen
particulars to meet defects which 1t Is
said experience has proved. The most
important amendment is one to define
preference, to meet the supreme court
decision in the case of Pirie VS.. the
Chicago Title and Trust company. Four
additional grounds for refusing dis
charge in bankruptcy are added: ~
Obtaining property on credit on mate
rally false Statements; (2) making
fraudulent transfer of property; (3)
having been granted or denied a dis
charge in bankruptcy within six years;
az having refused to obey tsse order of
the court Or refusal to answer material
questions provided by the court.
An evening session was held for the
consideration of bills reported from the
Indian committee.
At the night session bills to ratify
and confirm the agreements negotiated

Creek, Kansas or Kaw Indians of Ok

healthful of the two.
The arguments of the senators in

Maj. &. P. Healy was in town last
Saturday having driven up from his
farm on Lake Louise behind IL fine
span of mules. The major was I'M
der cover of u wide brimmed hat
and in his shirt sleeves and looked
little like the man who makes gov
ernors and exercises such II potent
influence on legislation. But it was
the same major, in his uniform of It

Hon. and Mrs. Edwin Gilbert with
a niece, are expected today. They
will occupy Mr.. Gilberts cottage on
Park street, which has just been put
IN order for them by Fred Anderson.
Crescent City people are always glad
TO see Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert They
have been coming here regularly for
over ~ years and have always taken
II great interest in the prosperity of
the place. Mr.. Gilbert celebrated
his SOth birthday last September,
and in cOmmemoration of the event
presented the Congregational society
Of Georgetown, Conn, (his home
town. with a beautiful stone church
which will be lasting memorial to
The donor and his excellent wife.
Mr.. Gilbert is the president of the
Gilbert d Bennett Mfg. Co., OF
Georgetown, Conn, and Chicago, one
Of the largest concerns devoted to the
manufacture Of ornamental . work
and wire goods in the world.
By order of the board of aldermen
notices OF which order have been
conspicuOusly post, d, the town au-
rhorities give notices that they will
apply for tax deeds to certain prop
critics in tow. on which taxes are
delinquent. This is move that
should have brnn taken long since.
The town of Crescent City does bust
less ITS Il corporation under the
general Charter governing cities and
towns. 1t is Il legal corporation en-
poNrr It to levy and collect taxes,
and TO collect !utans to enforce the
co;,rc,iou even to the extent of ac-
luirlng deeds to delinquent prop
,rty. Heretofore delinquents have
Oeen allowed to compromise with
the town on 80 per cent basis.
This is unfair to the great body of
citizens who pay their taxes in full
each year. The fact that parties be-
lieve the authorities are constantly
making illegal appropriation of pub
lie money does not absolve them
from their obligation to pay taxes.
'rhe remedy for recovery lies in a
different direction.

A Man On Women Suffrage.

A male person writing in the New
York Press tells why he is opposed to
woman suffrage:
1.-THE cruelties praCticed by the sex
on the sex from the very dawn Of
creation-Eve was Jealous of every
female in the Garden-discourage
most of US in granting the right OF
women to rule women. Nothing is
lovelier than household suffrage.
We men PATIENTLY submit to that.
But if women We're to occupy high
political Office half the sex would be
sent to Jail out of pure spite. Then
half the men would commit crime i'll
order to join the women in Jail.
The mean old thing! So there!
