Washington. June 13.-When the

OF the judiciary committee, asked the
unanimous consent that Monday. afte]

apart for the bill to amend the bank
ruptcy act. There was no objection
, and the order was made.
Mr.. DalZell, from the committee or
rules, then presented special order
for the consideration of the senate ir
rlgation BILL one day for general de
bate and one day for amendment under
the fiye-minute rule
Pending the adoption of the rule
Saturday was substituted for Friday
for the consideration OF private pen

Mr.. Robinson tlnd.) opposed the
adoption o. the rule for the consider
alton Of the irrigation bill He de
clared that the bill would be beneficial
TO the arid land states and dangerous
TO all others He criticised severely
the action OF the Democratic congres
sional committee in adopting a reso
luton fayoring the irrigation bill. Hs
declared that the committee was with
out jurisdiction and had no power t6
bind Democratic members. The whole
scheme was undemocratic. he asserted
and was in the interest of land grant
railways.
Mr.. Underwood tAlaD favored The
adoption of the rule. He argued tha
the only method of building up th'
arid land states was to provide fol
their irrigation.
The resolution then was adopted
without division The house resolved
itself into committee of the whole Mr.
Tawney Mimi. in the chair and en-
tered upon the consideration OF the ir
rigation bill. II was arranged that
Mr.. Mondell tWyo) should control the
time for the measure, and Mr.. Ra!
tN. y, against il.
Mr. Mondell submitted an extended
argument in favor of the bill. The
amount of land which might ultimate
ly be reclaimed by irrigation was esti
mated. he said. between $4,000 900 and
Is. geo 900 acres. He discussed fully
the reasons why the states could not
undertake the work. The wisdom OF
national aid in the reclamation OF the
arid lands of the West. he declared
had been demonstrated TO the satisfac
ton of the people and of both political
parties in national conventions assem-
bled.
Mr.. Ray N. " opened in oppos'
tion 10 the bill. He declared that the
friends of the measure had sought to
create the impression that the lrrlga
tion OF the arid lands in the West was
n continuation of the free home policy
Of the government The scheme. he
said. would benefit certain states but
nj the expense of others. The pubic
lands. he contended. belonged to the
people of all the states. This bill pro
posed to take the proceeds OF thelf
sale to develop one section OF the
country.

The Absent-Minded Professor.

At a recent session of the Ger
man reichstag an absent-minded
member, Herr Wichmann, GRE
ated no little amusement. He
was calling the roll, and upon
reaching his own name he paused
for a response. Naturally none
came. Then he called the name
more loudly, waited few seconds
and roared it out at the top of
his voice. The laughter of his
colleagues finally aroused him to
a sense of the ludicrousness of his
act, and he joined in the general
hilarity.

Nations Imports and Exports.

Two nations, as shown by the latest
official figures. have exports exceed
ing $100,000,000 a month each. The
United States is first, leading Great
Britain by four per cent. Two nations
have monthly imports exceeding $780,
100000, Great Britain and Germany.
The former is far in the lead. Her
imports of s212,0O0 900 month alone
exceed the total foreign trade of either
the United States or Germany for the
same period. Five nations have COM
bined importes and exports of $780,
100000 per month. France is the
fourth, and Holland fifth.

Increasing Speed of Trains.

Both the New York Central
and Pennsylvania lines will put
on a 2o-hour train between New
York and Chicago the 18th in
slant. The distance over the
Pennsylvania is oI2 miles, and
the schedule accordingly calls for
an average speed of 45.6 miles,
including stops. This is four
hours less than the present fast
est service between the two cities
and eight hours less than the
usual service. The fare on these
trains will be S2S. or ST. additional
to the regular rate for every re-
duction of one hour from the or
binary time of passage. Equally
fast trains now run from Chicago
to Denver. and it will not be long
evidently before the traveller can
go from ocean to ocean at an av-
erage speed, exclusive Of stops, OF
50 miles and more an hour.

High Rents on Broadway.

The wonder is, how can a man
do business in Broadway and ex-
pect to make a profit, consider
rng the extraordinary rents that
are eNacted, says the New York
Press. The profits in cigars must
be stupendous, for tobacconists
pay more rent than liquor dealers.
A cigar company has leased lot
thlrty-one feet front on Broad
way for $4,000 a year for twenty
one years. Not stones throw
from the city hall is a corner shop
hardly big enough to take a long
breath in, for which the annual
rental is $1,000. For the base
ment beneath it, used as a restau-
rant, $1,000 is paid.

Short men can take fresh cour-

new French premier is only five
feet three inches tall. NJ. Combes,

profession physician, but he

topics as the Latin poet Virgil.

range of his mental labors.

the streets of Washington was

peans. 1t takes the Yankee to

Martin Lewis, one of the eight

that drew President Lincoln's
hearse, died in Chicago last week.
He had been in the employ Of
the Inter Ocean for ten wears as

Opening Mail at Breakfast.

"Never open Your morning mail
at the breakfast table" said a
Philadelphia physician. That is
an evil habit. and one that is
sometimes responsible for disease.
Letters, You must know, are tre-
mendous germ-carriers. The
licking OF the flap of the envelope
and OF the stamp often entails the
presence OF thousands of germs.
lhese, when letters are laid up
on the table, may get into the
food, for they are nearly all food
bacteria: you may swallow them,
and thus lay yourself open to
many kinds of trouble Open
your mail, therefore, anywhere
but in the dining room"

Museum Collection of Old Bonnets.

A collection of curious old
bonnets, covering a period of
eighty years, has just been re-
ceived at the museum in Philadel-
phia Memorial hall. Some of
these wonderful creations of mill
iners in the last century are
uarvels OF invention and con-
struction. One Of the old band
boxes in the collection is about
twice the size of an ordinary
washtub, and is covered with
quaint, saudily-patterned wall
paper. From the present view
point many OF the old-tirne fash
ions for headgear appear most
ludicrous.

AIDES, notes the London Chron-
icle, four met their doom on Sun
day, and the other two on Satur-

were all slain on Sunday, and,
though Shah Nars-ed Deem was
killed on Friday, that is the Mos
lem Sabbath, and he was actually
shot while kneeling in the mosqut.
On Sunday, too, Senior Canovas,
the Spanish premier, was killed,
while the life of President Faure
was twice attempted on Sunday
in 1896. Next to Sunday is Sat
urday, and on this day General
Garfield, the Empress OF Austria,
and President Mckinley met
their fate and it was on a Satur-
day that King Alphonso stood in
peril of his life. Mere mortals
hail the week end with pleasure,
but to monarchs it seems season

A Salmon Trust.

All Of the salmon canneries OF
British Columbia have been "mor-
ganized." In other words. there
is salmon trust. The capital,
however. is small, only .SS.ooo.-
900. The idea is to save the by
products, which hitherto have
been wasted. The canned prod
uct will be. as usual, a portion of
fish chucked into tin OF grease.
From the scales and bones will be
manufactured guano and glue
The "by-product" is the salvation
OF many a business these days.

Comparisons Really Are "Odious.

"Comparisons are odious." said
John Fortescue, an ancient En-

caused one Of the ridiculous char
acters to say: 'Comparlsons are
odorous. In recent years the
question has been raised whether
the quotation comparisons are
odious," was correctly used. be-
cause Shakespeare's character en-
ployed the word "odorous.' 1T
appears that the former usage is
right.

Italian Statesman a Jew.

King Victor Emmanuel has given
evidence Of his courage and freedom
from prejudice by appointing Gen. OF
toienghi minister of war in the place
of Gen. Ponza Di San Martino. Gen.
Ottolenghi is not only of Hebrew birth
but also OF Jewish creed. So far as
known this is the first time member
of this particular faith has been ap-
pointed by great power to Europe
to one of the leading cabinet offices.
The members Of the Hebrew race who
have held cabinet Office in Europe
have been like the late Lord Beacons-

Machine Grown Carnations.

do you know why carnations
have fallen about 40 per cent in

they are less popular-they are

as an automatic tree box of steel

and stands upon three legs. As
soon as a carnation begins to
grow it is stopped within the ma

rings that take hold of it and
