lRv Associated Press.l

oution Is as follows:
"That 1t is In the power of the senate to

by debarring such member from partici-
pating in the proceedings in the SEN
ate."
Senator Hoar's resolution reads:
mo senator in debate shall impute to
any other senator conduct or motive un-
worthy or unbecoming a senator. No
senator in debate shall utter any re-
proach upon the character or history of
any state OF the Union"

tion declaring 1t to be the sense Of the

tions.

Pennsylvania Floods.
(By Associated Press.)

Pittsburg, Pa, March 1.-Western
Pennsylvania is in the grip of the worst
food since the record breaker of 1884,
when two-thirds of lower Pittsburg and
Allegheny were submerged in from two
to ten feet of water, causing millions of
dollars worth of damage.
At o'clock this morning the marks
showed 80 feet of water and rising at
the rate of from five to six inches an
hour. Street car traffic between THE two
cities has been entirely abandoned.
Scores Of mills have been forced to
close down and hundreds of families
have been compelled to move from their
homes
In Pittsburg and Allegheny streets
along the river front were inundated. In
some cases the river was up to the second
floor, while some were deserted, and in
some cases the occupants had to use
skiffs.
The specific details gathered by the
police show great loss of property and
thousands OF workmen were idle today
and probably will not be able to resume
work for several days on account OF the
flood.

New York, March 1.-AGenerally speak
ing, the stock market has been duh TO
the point OF stagnation during the week.
The activity In large number Of OBJ
scure specialties under influence of oper-

The cloud upon the legitimacy OF the
Northern Securities company continued a
dominant influence In repressing specu-
ation.
The approach Of the period Of yicissi-
tudes for the winter wheat crop began
10 manifest itself in the stock market.
The export of a large sum of gold
aroused some apprehenslons over tho
future Of the money marIect.
There was some uneasiness lest labor
troubles may develop this spring, espe-
cially among the coal miners.
Opening Was Dull.
Opening dealings were small, and unim-
portant issues showed wide changes.
High priced specialties, Changers. Pa
clfcs and Readings became heavy, but
the pressure was not severe, or offerings
large enough To make much impression

ROADS THAT ARE NEEDED.
Henry wattsrson's idea Il That They n
Local, Not National

Henry watterson's idea Il That They h
Local. Not National.
Henry Watterson takes issue with q
good roads advocate who insists thas
the general government should have
charge of road making-that there
should be national highways built and
maintained at public expense.
The good roads that are needed. says
the Chicago Times-H Herald, those that
are most needed, in the language Of
Colonel Watterson, are those that "lead
from the farm 10 the railroad, the mill.
the factory, the school, the church, the
fairy, and the market."
This apt remark Of Colonel Watterson
IL q condensation, o simplifcation, an
absolutely plain presentation Of what In
most wanted in the matter Of good
roads. Garry out that idea, and whas
will be wanting? It will meet the re-
quirements Of the farmer; 1t will save
the farming element hundreds Of mil
lions of dollars every year; twill meet
the expectations Of the pleasure seeker; ;
it will add to the value Of every foot OF
land in the country; il will be OF value
to every merchant and every profession
al man; it will be q source Of pleasure
and profit TO all classes, in all commu-
mites.

In earlier times tho ordinary man was

had only o Christian name without any
kind of "handle'' before 1t or surname
after 1t, says the Philadelphia Record.
Some means of distinguishing one John
or william from another John or William
became necessary. Nioknames derived
from q mans trade or bis dwelling placs
or from some personal peculiarly were
taoked on to his Christian name, and plain
John became John Smith. As yet thsre
were no "misters" In the land.
Some John Smith accumulated moro
wealth than the bulk of bis fellows-be'

In time the "maistre," or "maiseer.
