ToRRENs LAND BILL A LAW.
Governor Yates of Illinois Signs an I'm
portant Measure.

Chicago, May 19.-"The Torrens bill
is signed and thus ends In victory one
of the greatest contests ever had in
Cook county in the interest of land
owners
This telegram from Springfield to the
Torrens Law Extension League, in Chit
cago yesterday, announced that Gov
ernor Yates had signed the bill amend.
ing the Torrens law. The news caused
jubilation among the advocates of the
measure, while it disappointed those
who fought long and vigorously to de-
feat the bill.
The new law will not become effective
however, until approved by the voters
of Cook county, at the election in No
vember. 1904. Its friends are confident
that 1t will succeed, while it's enemies
are declaring that if it does they will
take steps at once to attack its con-
Stitutionality.
Nothing in recent years has stirred up
as much bitterness in Chicago real es-
tate circles, and especially in the real
estate board as this new Torrens meas
ure. The new law requires executors
and administrators of estates to register
the titles Of all lands coming under
their control, and it is estimated that in
this way practically all the land in Cook
county will come under the Torrens
system within thirty or thirty-fv
years. The law provides, however,
that the probate judge may excuse any
applications for registration when it is
apparent hardship would be worked
on the property of any estate.

The victim was assisted to John He

The young woman lived at 126 West
Madison street. In the neighborhood
she was known as Hump backed

of which she was singularly beautiful.
The murderer, who was taken in GUS

his motives.
dastardly revenge, perpetrated i'll
the most cold blooded manner, is be-
lieved by the police to be the cause OF
the crime. Angered at Miss Ferry be-
cause she had Tilted him, the night be-
fore, Wesley is thought to have laid
in wait for her Sunday afternoon on
West Madison street, and deliberately
killed her in sight of crowds of spec
tators.

OUR SENATE.
An English View of Its Power, Au-
thOrity and Performance.

m English View OF It's ROVER, hu.
thority and Performance.
The senate has played very great
part in American history, and, on the
whole, the tremendous power and au-
thority welded by the senate have been
well exercised. The majority Of the
senators are statesmen of great polit-
zeal ability as we'll as men of high char
acter.
There are few sights in the political
world on either side Of the Atlantic
more impressive than the senate in ses-
sion. The sense not only of very
high standard Of personal capacity, but
of the immense powers which it Yields,
seems to pervade the assembly. The
smallnesS of their numbers, the fact
that they are armed with authority
which is executive as well as legisla-
tive and the knowledge that they rep
resent not mere localities, but states,
in their corporate capacity, and states
which are often as populous as Euro
pean Kingdoms. naturally fill each lndl-
vidual senator with the sense of per-
ator is a very great man, and he knows
it, and the senate, as Il whole, is in
tensely conscious and proud Of the
might, majesty and dominion which 1t
yields. To make comparison, 1t mat
ters very little what an individual
member of the British house of com
mons thinks and means to do, still less
what an individual British peer thinks
and means to do on any given subject,
but it matters very great deal what
single United States senator thinks and
means to do.
ment made by the president, whether
the man nominated for office be a
Judge of the supreme court or an am
bassador or merely a collector Of Gus
toms. Again the ss.nate can, by refus-
ing to pass it, veto any bill sent up
from the lower house, no matter
whether the bill is concerned with the
raising or spending of money or with
alterations in the law. Lastly, not
majority, but any minority which num-
bers over third Of the senate can re-
fuse to ratify any treaty presented for
ratification by the president Thus the
executive can make no binding treaty
with any foreign power unless it can
obtain two-thirds majority in the
senate. In other words, the senate can
say the final word not only in regard
to all legislation, but in regard to all
finance. all appointments to high office
and to foreign affairs of the nation.-

Near Enough. ,

1t was Maine girl Of whom the sto-
ry is told that she refused to marry q
most devoted lover until he had amass-
ed fortune Of $4,000. After some ex-
postulation he accepted the decree and
went to work. About three months
after this the avaricious young lady,
meeting her lover, asked:
"Well, Charley, how are you getting
along?"
sob, very well indeed" Charley re-
turned cheerfully. 1--WE SIS saved"
The young lady blushed and looked
down at the toes Of her walking boots
and stabbed the inoffensive earth with
the point of her parasol. II guess" she
said faintly-T guess, Charley. that's

Slowly and majestically the afore-
said erstwhile official rose from his
place in a prominent part of the house
and faced the gallery in a dignitied
manner, as suited his station in So
ciety.
Il am Mr.. Blank" he replied, as he
drew his rather stocky figure to its
full height.
Sit down, you lobster called the
voice with an emphasis that was as
great as it was embarrassing.
The dull thud that was heard imme-
diately after the above sally was only
the noise caused by the ex-otticial's an
atomy as it came in contact with his
rather hard seat. During the laughter
and confusion that followed the guilty

A HORSE AT THE SHOW.
Story of II Ribbon Winning From an
Equine Viewpoint.

Story of II Ribbon Winning From an
Equine Viewpoint.
One of the popular features of the
annual horse show in New York is the
squad of park police horses that is al
ways entered. THE winning of Il blue
ribbon by one of these police horses IS
told in Horses Nine" % seTejl Tcrd,
from the viewpoint of TIE :crss. The
author says:
So it happened that one i,.ar1iing
Skipper heard the sergeant tel Rsddy
that he had been detailed for tls horse
show squad. Reddy had salItcd and
said nothing at the time, but when
they were once out on post he told
Skipper all about it.

had promised, and more. The light al

the smells confused him, but he felt

softly and soon felt at ease on the tam
bark.
Then there was great crash OF
noise, and Skipper, with some fifty of
his friends on the force, began to move
~, N;f.cf
abreast, then by twos, and then rush
to troop front, when, III long line,
they swept around as if they had been
harnessed to beam by traces of equal
length.
After some more evolutions a half
dozen were picked out and put through
their PAGES. Skipper was one Of these.
Then three of the six were sent to join
the rest of the squad. Only Skipper
and two others remained in the center
of the ring. Men in queer clothes,
wearing tall, black hats, showing much
white shirt front and carrying long
whips. came and looked them over
carefully.
Skipper showed these men how he
could waltz in time to the music, and
the people who banked the circle as
far up as Skipper could see shouted
and clapped their hands until it seemed
as If thunderstorm had broken loose.
At last one Of the men in tall hats tied
a blue ribbon on Shippers bride.
When Reddy got him into the stable,
he fed him four big red apples, one
after the other. Next day Skipper
knew that he was famous horse.
Reddy showed him their pictures in
the paper.

encouragement of n Great Singer.

Grassini, the great Italian singer,
was very much interested in the young
girls among her relatives and always
ready to encourage any talent she could
find in any of them. One day novice
was brought to her with the unpromis-
ing words, 'She is spoiled contralto
and will never do anything on the
stage" But the singer listened while
the young girl began her frightened
trills, when suddenly Grassini caught
her in her arms with delight. "Why,
you are not contralto," she said, "but
the finest soprano in the world. Your
voice is far stronger than mine. Study
we'll. You want none of my help.
There is rich bank in your throat"
The little singer was none other than
Giulia Grisi.

The next morning, however, another

The governor, having been in the court
on the previous day, recognized the

against the accused. This puzzled him,

Linguistic Instinct.

The strength of the linguistic instinct
in children is shown by the remark
able shifts they will make to find forms
of expression for their perception or
feelings. An examination of these
shifts will show that the energy OF the
child manifests itself along precisely
the same lines as have been taken by
the languages of the races of man
kind toward their ultimate forms.
Thus, lacking the word wide little
one said, "Open the door loud" ex-
tending the meaning of the word "loud''
precisely as we do when we apply it
colloquially to colors.

Among several amusing incidents re-
cited by Judge Alfred c. Coke, of the
United States circuit court. in lecture
delivered to Columbia students, reports
the New York Times, was the tale OF
a young lawyer who came before the
supreme court to argue a case in which
he was both counselor and defendant.

Then the young lawyer went on to
offer his argument. Before he went
back to his home in ST. Louis, ne let;

wire as soon as the courts decision was
handed down. A week later he received
a telegram which read

The Morning Bath.

An admirable way to take the morn
ing bath by those who dread a daily
plunge into cold water is recommended
by an authority as follows: Stand in
hot water deep enough to cover the
ankles, fill a basin with cold water and
sponge the body off quickly. Dry and
rub vigorously and get into tlannels
before drying the feet. This is better
for any one than daily immersion. 1t
is the rubbing more than the water
that is needed Sponging off gives the
excuse for the after rubbing, and the
good result is gained
