SENATE DISTRICT COMMITTEE
No Action on the House Amendment tt
Smoke Law.

The Senate committee on the District of
Columbia held a short meeting today and
decided that in view Of the bad coal con-
ditions in the District, which have made it
impossible during the present winter and
past fall to test the smoke law in a salts
factory way, no action should be taken on
the House bill to amend that law. The
House bill allows the emission of smoke at
intervals Of three minutes each, and it was
the purpose Of the committee had it decided
to recommend the passage of the bill to
limit the number of such emissions. One
suggestion was that in the aggregate they
should not exceed an hour in the twenty
four. The committee today was inclined
to believe that it would be desirable to have
a further test of the smoke law between
the coming spring and next December,
when normal conditions for securing the
better qualities of coal will exist
For these reasons the committee is not
likely to order any report OIL the bill to the
Senate during the remaining days of the
present session.

DEATH.

Strange how the touch of the angel
Death
Transfigures their faces, as one by one
They leave us amazed at the high noon
tide,
When sweetly and long they have
walked by our side
Toward the land of the setting sun.
!
Their faces We're pleasant and fair to
see,
And winsome, and bright, and sweet;
They were tenderly human, our loved,
our own;
Their images into our hearts had
grown,
Ere they sank in the wayside heat.
But suddenly chilled were their pre-
cious forms
By the breath of the grave o'ercome;
Their faces We're set in a measureless
Like souls in the spell of a wonderful
psalm,
And silent as carven stone.
o. silent friends, we love you still.
In your stainless, majestic sleep;
And we linger with questions beside
your bed
How. how, does it seem to be lying
dead
And never to laugh or weep?
Do your eyes, close sealed to the things
of time.
Look cut Oh immensely?
Are your ears so deaf to our passionate
cries,
Entranced with the music of Paradise.
And the surge of it's melody?
We, too, some time in your lot shall
share,
And, ceasing our long unrest,
Grow suddenly strange to familiar
things:
And. soothed by the tanning of Deaths
cold wings,
Fold our hands on a quiet breast.

He spoke in part as follows: The
man who lives after he is dead is the
really successful man. We all believe
in the future life. but we sometimes
forget that man will live in this life
after the spirit has returned to the God
who gave it. We see in the death of

the first-born on earth was the hope
of his mother, as is evinced by the
meaning of the name she gave him.
which resembles in significance the
modern name Theodore, God-glven.
Abel was named 'vapor' or vanity
Cain was the physical first-born, like
Ishmael, Esau. Reuben. Abel was the
spiritual ffrst-born, like Isaac. Jacob,
Reuben. We see in Cain pride; in Abel
humility. Today, so-called noble birth
too often fosters that pride which
makes its possessor a curse in
stead Of blessing to his country, his
family. himself. Pride of prerogatIve
makes man a tyrant and a murderer
Pride in property makes man an idoIa-
ter and an oppressor.
How hardly shall rich man enter,
into the kingdom of heaven?' And thar
not because he is rich, but because ne
trusts in riches-sells his soul for sum
