Excluded Glasses.

|
 Washington, May 27.-The house to- | cay passed the Shattuc immigration bill The feature of the day was a | lively debate on the question of pro- | hiblting the sale of intoxicating liquors at immigrant stations It was precip- itated by an amendment offered by MT. Bowersock of Kansas to prohibit such sale, which was carried S3 to IS. MT.
 Landis of Indiana followed this victor
 with an amendment to prohibit the sale
 of intoxicants in the capitol and it pre-
 vailed by still larger majority, 1O8 to
 19.
 The bill brings together into one act
 all the scattered legislation heretofore
 enacted in regard to the immigration
 of aliens into the United States, ar
 ranges it in sequence, etc, eliminates
 what has become obsolete by reason of subsequent legislation, amends some of the administrative features and also adds some provisions to the general laws and others made necessary by the extension of the territorial limits of the United States.
 Among the more important changes are those increasing the head tax on aliens coming into the United States by land transportation from $1 to $1.5O, adding to the excluded classes epilep- tics, persons who have been insane within five years, anarchists or persons who advocate the overthrow of govern ment by force, prostitutes and procur- CTS (whose importation is now felony, but whose entry is not prohibited), broadening the word contract" in the contract labor law to include offer, so- licitation or promise;" providing for the fine of steamship companies which re- ceive at the port of departure aliens afflicted with loathsome or contagious diseases here; extending the time In which an alien becomes a public charge may be deported from one to two years, and providing that immigrants over fif teen years of age should be able to read in some language.
 Just before the session closed a spec ial rule was presented to make the bill for coining subsidiary silves a continu- ing order until disposed of. A vote will be taken on the rule tomorrow.

BEEF-TRUST IN0UIRT.
Albany and Troy Managers Examin ed -
 Agreement on Slow Payers,

Albany, N Y, May 27.-Albany and Troy managers of branch offices of the various western beef packing concerns were examined relative to the work ings of their offices before Former Jus tce Judson s. Landon as referee to- day. Their evidence tended to show that an agreement had existed between the various concerns whereby retail dealers who did not pay promptly for meat delivered were listed by an ar bitraton agent and no firm was permit ted to furnish them with meat unless they paid for it immediately upon deliv- cry. The firms subscribed to fund which was to be forfeited if they failed to live up to the terms of the credit agreement
 All of the witnesses examined denied any knowledge of any carriage agree ment between the firms. The inquiry was conducted by Attorney General Davies assisted by Special Deputies J. Newton Fiero and Mason.

A Business Proposition.

Man and boy, for "a years, Abijah
Jopling had been clerk in the First
National Bank of Squawtunket and
never once in all that time could there
have been found one single, solitary
error in any of his books. His balance
sheets were marvels Of unspotted cor
rectness. He conld run down three
columns of figures at the same time
and at express speed and add them
with absolute precision. He could
locate the transposition and errors Of
the other employees in no time at all, F.,
while the most intricate problems OF
compound discount or interest were to
him as if they were not. And in all
his ways he was rs precise and method
ical as chronometcr and as prim and
neat as new silver dollar.
In fact, he made too good a clerk
ever to have become anything better,
and, having neither friends nor sufli-
cent money to boost him up the fnan-
cal ladder, he had rested through the
90 den time of life on the lowest round.
| He had entered the bank at II as a
petty clerk and at rs hadaltaimrd only
the head hookke 'per>h;p. Nrverthe
ess he had by economy and Il shrewd
turn or two, thanks either to his dis
cernmcnt or good fortune, accnm ulated
a few thousand dollars. which he had
invested in the S9nawtunkrt and
Squawoag Railroad company, 4 very
tidy little property.
He was tall, lank man, with q
smooth lIp and jrwl, the complexion OF
| weather beaten wood and small, mar

"oticeable, too, that in Italy the peo-
pie of the country use it TO great ex-
tent, while in England it is avowedly
kept for American visitors. Between
these two France occupies about the
same middle ground that she does
geographically. Ice in summer, if
rightly used, is the means of allaying
and preventing vast amount of need
less suffering and disease, and if its in
creased use in Europe is at all due TO
Americans, then Europe should be
grateful.
The smoke of Vesuvius drifts over
fields of American corn, growing above
the still buried parts of Pompeii. Ev-
cry time that the American returns to
the Eastern Continent he finds it more
American than he left it. Often lie
sees this with regret. He comes to see
Europe, not an imitation of Americe.
If the conservative spirit which pre-
serves old Europe for him involves the
shutting out of his favorite viands he
may cheerfully go without them, and
have something whereof to be tie
more glad when he gets home. There
are some persons who enjoy strange
foods and can eat all foods, and these,
when they go from home, are FORUM

only what they are used to, and these
buy their European finishing at high
price. But for all Americans the beef.

the coffee and the ice of their native
land are the subjects of many a glad

UNCLE HANKS YARN.

Uncle Hank Allen was perhaps the
smoothest and most accomplished liar
in Central New York. There were
other ordinary country postotlice liars
in the beautiful village of Eaton, New
York, where | was born, but Uncle
Hank could lie like gifted metropoli-
tan. Every night Uncle Hanks gro.
Gerry was filled with listening citizens,
all paying the strictest attention when
ever the good old man spoke. When
Charley Campbell or John Whitney
lied nobody paid much attention, be-
cause they were clumsy workmen.
Their lies would not hold water like
Uncle Hanks. Why, the old mans
were so smooth, so artistic that, while
listening to them, you imagined you
were listening to Elder Cleveland's
Bible Stories.
One day they were talking about
potato bugs in Uncle Hanks grocery.
"Talk about potato bugs" said DR..
Purdy, why, up in my garden there
are twenty bugs to a stalk"
Twenty bugs to stalk! Only twen-
tyr mused Charley Campbell, con-
temptuously; "why they ate up my
first crop of potatoes two weeks ago,
and they are now sitting round the lot
on trees and fences waiting for me to
plant them over again"
"Why, you don't know anything
about the ravenous nature of them po-
later bugsr' exclaimed Uncle Hank.
"You may call me liar, but I've had
potater bugs walk into my kitchen
and yank red-hot potaters right out of
the oven! Waiting around a potater
patch for the second crop!" exclaimed
old Hank, with sneer. "'WaitingE
Why, gosh blast your souls, l was up
to Townsend's store yesterday, and |
saw potater bugs up there looking over
Townsends books to see who had
bought seed potatcrs for next year. l
did, by gum!''
The whole grocery was still when
Uncle Hank finished. You could have
heard a pin drop. Finally long. lean
man from Woodman's Pond raised him
self up. The stranger, evidently a
new conner, and not acquainted with
Mr.. Allen, pointed bis long finger at
Uncle Hank, and exclaimed with hiss:
"You are liar!"
Uncle Hank looked over his glasses
at the stranger long and earnestly.
Then holding out his hand, inquired,
with a puzzled look:
"Where did you get acquainted
with me?"

AT \ SAVINGS BANK.

The business man who was in a
hurry was standing i'll line at the
savings bank, waiting his turn to de-
post. There was only one person
ahead of him, and he was congratu'at-
ing himself upon his good luck. The
person ahead was woman, and whit n
the business man arrived she was just
opening negotiations with the receiv-
ing teller.
"Now, | want to open accounts, ="
she began, ''for some little nieces and
nephews of mine. It's for 4 birthday

"Yes, would, madam but please

"Oh, yes there's the baby, Mildred.
She's ten months old, and | thought
she seemed pretty young to have a

cording to the rules, of course
The business man, who had at first
glared savagely at the loquacious de
positor, now shifted wcariy from one
leg to the other, and began TO show
signs of collapse.
The teller succeeded in extracting
the necessary information as to the
birthplaces of the children, and then
inquired in whose names the books
we're to be held in trust for them.
"Will you have it in their mothers

with a sigh Of relief and a look of pity
for the business man who had beer

given up.
