A CHICKEN STORY.

Once there was a little chicken,
And he used to go a-pickin'
All among the bidGy hens to get his food.
Twas pretty little fellow,
Plump and downy, soft and yellow,
But he never thought that anything was
good.
He would bitterly complain
Whenever 1t did rain,
OF if the grass was very wet with dew.
He didn't like the cold
And, If the truth be told,
He just found fault with everything that
grew.
So the other little chicks
Thought they'd put him in a fix,
And they said: I'VE will no longer play
with you.
You're so very glum and sour
We have ne'er happy hour,
When We might be jolly, happy crew"
So they left him all alone,
Sitting perched upon stone,
And they would not speak to him single
word.
But they were very KIND
When he did make up his mind
That he would really be a better bird.

~ religion, Incorporated accord
- ing to law" says Capt. Milan C.
Euson, one of the organizers of the Ma
tional association.
THE acts of congress covering re-
ligious societies have been observed
and our incorpora ton, in 1898, sets
forth that The object of said associa-
ton is not for worldly profit, but for
the purpose of religion, to promote re-
igion and morality, to provide for the
erection of temples and lecture halls,
or other suitable places of worship
where the religion of spiritua1ism may
be taught, and to provide for the edu-
cation and licensing of proper persons
as authorized lecturers and preachers
of the religion of spiritualism.'
''It is not generally understood
throughout the land that we are a
recognized legal body of religious wor-
shippers. But, ever since the incorpora-
ton of the National association, our
status has been the same as that of
other churches, and our preachers re-
ceive all the railroad and other cour-
tesies extended to the older established
churches"
There are two church organizations
in this city, and there are from 5000 to
5000 believers in the creed of spiritual
ism. Like very many of their predeces-
sors in the field of religion there has
been a split or schism; one class believ-
ing that Jesus was divine, and the other
class believing that He was wonderful
medium for the dissemina ton of truth.
Both bodies of believers recognize the
National association, and will continue
to do so. tits claimed that in this cOun-
try there are now more members of the
Spiritualist creed than of the Unitarian
or Universalist; consequently in num-
bers they are entitled to consideration
as a considerable body of citizens.
Capt. Edison says: when | came to
Washington, in 1871, found that large
and successful spiritual meetings mad
been conducted here from about 1861.
During the civil war large meetings
were held in Union League hall, Ninth
and E streets. George A. Bacon con-
Quoted the meetings. He is now clerk
III liIC NlNll VIC SOlilliliSSlOlls
equally large meetings were held
in Harmonial hall, on the south
side of Pennsylvania avenue, near
Sixth street. Upward of 1900 peo-
pie used to attend those meetings,
which were conducted by DR.. John
Mayhem and Col. ]. c. Smith. In 1872
that hall was torn down and the society
moved to Lyceum hall, Thirteenth and
E streets. From 1875 to 1885 there was
no society here and the meetings were
kept up by myself as an individual.
took the responsibility of hiring speak
ers, halls, and making collections for
the maintenance of the meetings. Dur
ing all this period | felt the necessity
of the formation of national associa-
ton, and realized that a dominant So
ciety must be established here, at the
capital of the nation, whose prestige
should be such as to authorize it to call
a national convention. To this end |
bent all of my energies, and finally sue

"The present first association was or
gained and incorporated in 1885 with
John B. Wolff as president, myself as
vice president, and Golf \. Hall as sec
rotary. Then our society rapidly grew
in numbers and strength. In October,

Here is novel cure for deafness.
According to several Dutch papers a
deaf woman, who resides at Krom-
menie, had quarrel few weeks ago
with some of her neighbors, and as
result got into violent passion. As
she is 70 years old, her friends feared
that this sudden and terrible outburst
of anger would injure her, but instead
it completely cured here of her deaf
ness.

THREE NEW STATES.
Enabling Acts for Oklahoma, Arizona
 and New Mexico.

Enabling Acts for Oklahoma, Arizona
 and New Mexico.
 WASHINGTON, May 1o.--The oppo- sition in the house to the bill for the admission of Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico collapsed at the last min ute, and the bill was passed without division as it came from the commit tee except for few verbal amend ments. The real test came on an amendment offered by Mir. Overstreet Qnd.) to join New Mexico and Arizona and admit them as the state of Monte zuma. It was beaten, 28 to 106, and all opposition then ceased. The closing scenes of the debate were accompanied by dramatic incident which narrowly escaped being a tragedy. Delegate Mark A. Smith (Ariz.), who has been fighting for the admission of his terri tory for q dozen years, had just made a vigorous speech against the Over street amendment when he was seized with a rush of blood to the head. He was conveyed to the lobby, where sev- eral physicians who are members Of the house by the prompt administration of powerful heart stimulants saved him from a stroke of apoplexy. He later rallied and was removed to his hotel.
 The bill as passed yesterday provides enabling acts for Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico similar in form to former enabling acts, with the excep- tion that the constitutional convention of New Mexico is empowered to desig- nate the name by which the new state shall enter the Union and in the case of Oklahoma the convention by ire vocable ordinance shall express the consent of that state that congress at any future time may attach all or any part of Indian Territory to it.
 The enabling acts differ from each other chiefly in reference to the public lands appropriated for educational and public purposes.
 The latter part of the session was de- voted to private pension bills, eighty seven of which were passed, twenty eight original, ifty-four for increases and five to correct military records. An effort was made in the senate to fix a time for a vote on the pending Philippine bill but it was unsuccessful. The minority said many senators still desired to speak on the measure, and 1t would not be proper to determine at this time upon q vote.

POLICE COURT DoINGs.
Men Who Raised Disturbance Fined
 $2O and Costs.

$20 and Costs.
 Officers Myers and Cayanangh had a lively time last night. Some one re- ported to Officer Myers that a crowd of men on South Riverside street were raising trouble. The officer found this to be so. Two men ran before him to a block on Cemetery road and in the hallway there prepared to fight. The owner of the building tried to get the men to fight elsewhere and with diff1- culty they were dislodged. The officer then took them into custody. Their names are Mike Alex and John Sedeen- spas. The first named made no troS1- ble for the officer, but the latter ran away and got mixed up with dump cart. A short time later he ran into Officer Cavanaugh near rhe Highland division depot. The officer had to fight and he did fight. He gave the man punch for punch, but when he found the fellow was not going 10 fight fair any longer, when the man began tear ing his clothes, tried to bite his handa and fingers, kick him and otherwise disregard the rules of iisticuffs, the officer used the prerogatiges of his office and landed his man. Alex was lined SlO and costs for intoxication aud S5 and costs for breach of the peace. On the same charges his companion was fined the same sums, and for the additional charge of resistance he was fined $20 and costs.

SHORT CALENDAR.
Many Postponed Cases Beginning to
 Crowd the Docket

Many Postponed Cases Begtnning to
 Crowd the Docket.
 At short calendar in the district court to-day. Judge Cowell on the bench, he stated that the crowded con- dition of the docket showed the mem bers of the bar were stultifying them selves. Cases are assigned for hearing and when the day comes, the attorneys engaged are not ready and in conse- quence cases go over from date to date and in this way the docket becomes crowded. Last year the June term of the superior court interfered with the hearing of cases in the district court to such an extent that almost all the cases that were assigned for hearing were not heard. There were only two cases assingned this morning, SOmers against the city for next Thursday and for Monday Whittlesey against Miller. Very little short calendar work was transacted. On behalf of the Town Plot school district there were six motions for judgment for foreclosure for taxes. All of shese went over to next week. Judgment for taxes was granted tha city against Mary A. Richards for $3.O4. The rest of the business of the session was of pure ly technical nature.

iowa school For the Deaf Burned.

OMAHA, Neb., May 1O.-The Iowa State School For the Deaf, located three miles east of Council Bluffs, has been destroyed by fire. The main building and the chapel are a total loss. 1t is not known whether or not any one received fatal injuries. None of the inmates so far as known is in- jured. The loss will reach $400,000. The buildings are located outside the city limits, and the only fire protec- tion is an independent plant. When the fire department reached the insti- tuition, the chapel had been destroyed, and an effort was made to save the main building. The water pressure, however, was so low that little could be done. The entire structure and it's contents are total loss. The fire is thought to have originated in the kitch- en, which adjoined the chapel.
