Quay Will Stay Away.

WASHINGTON. March 1s.--Sena-
tor Quay's continuous presence in the
senate chamber during the recent ses-
sion, necessitated by the statehood
fight, was exceptional. Except when
there is something of considerable
personal Importance to himself, the
Pennsylvania statesman has little
concern with federal legislation. This
extra session does not bore him. he
has no New Mexican railroad bonds
to be affected by isthmian canal or
Cuban reciprocity treaties. From this
on the senate chamber will know him
no more.
There are no rules which the boss
Of Pennsylvania is bound to respect
He will pair his vote on the treaties,
and there will be quorum without
him. If it should come to pinch,
and his presence be needed for a
quorum, it would be UP to the ser
geant-at-arms to go after him, and
produce his body in the senate cham

SHE NAY MARRY HER
SISTERS HUSBAND.


DRESDEN, March 1S.--Rumor has
it that Archduchess Margaret Maria
of Tuscany, the younger sister Of the
ex-crown princess of Saxony, may be-
come the wife of Crown Prince Fred
erick. The archduchess is the seventh
child and the third daughter of Grand
Duke Ferdinand w. of Tuscany. and
is 81 years old, IL years the junier
of the unfortunate Louise.
Margaret has expressed a willing
ness to become the wife of Crown
Prince Frederick, and 1t is believed
that the union would also be pleasing
to her sister, inasmuch as the latter
would rather that her sister would be
stepmother to her children than
perfect stranger.
While Archduchess Margaret is a
Catholic, it is said that If the mar
riage were agreeable to the reigning
house of Saxony she would consent to
the marriage under the Lutheran
form and not wait for the consent of
the vatican.

coFFINs FOR THE CHINESE.
The CeLestinIs Have a Strange Fancy for Burial Baskets Several
 Feet Too Long,.

An undertaken whose patronage cov- CTS the Chinese quarter on Race street was talking the other day of the ex- periences which his calling develops from time to time.
 Tt is. a curious fact" he said, re- ports the Philadelphia Telegraph, that the littlest people am called upon to bury require the biggest cof- fins. By littlest I mean the littlest as race-in other words, the Chinese. l suppose I have off1ciated at more Chinese funerals than any other un- dertaker in the Quaker city, and never yet have I furnished Chinaman with coffin that was not several sizes too big for him. Whether their religion requires this loose fit I am not pre- pared to say, but certain it is that bag gtness is a virtue in their collins, just as it is ih their blouses and trousers, and that every properly constituted Chinaman selects his last house as roomy as possible. Take a man who is five feet four inches high, and of proportionate girth, for example. Nat urally fellow of that size could never cut much of splurge in life, yet when he comes to die he takes up as much room as a giant. Not one inch less than 6A or seven feet will satisfy for the length of his coffin, the width must be three feet, the depth over three feet and the walls of his coffin at least two inches thick. These dimensions, mind you. are for an undersized man. For Chinaman of the regulation oc- cidental proportions the size of his coffin increases in direct ratio to his own stature and bulk, and the conse- quence is that at some of my Chinese funerals it seems as if were burying treasure chests instead of receptacles for dead humanity"

WILLIAM MORRIS.

The appearance of William Morris in When We Were Twenty-one" Wednes- day evening next at Polls is attracting more than the usual amount of inter est because of the fact that 1t is to be a benefit performance for John J. Splain and Harry E. Parsons. These workers have done much in the past five years to provide for the comfort and information of the show-going pub lie, and now that there is an oppor- tunity to show appreciation for their work 1t will undoubtedly be done The attraction provided is an exceptionally good one for it is well known fact that William Morris has pleased the critics far more than Nat Goodwin in the principal role of the comedy, and the role of Dick Carewe is one of the most delightfully."- attractive comedy roles on the contemporaneous stage. In offering this attraction to their friends and the public, Mir Splain and MT Par sons are absolutely certain that all who witness 1t will have seen one of the most entertaining comedies and one of the best played ones ever put on the local stage.

In pos ing as a victim of Lord Heathcote overtures, Mrs Johnson prejudices her own love affair with her brother-1n- laws brother, but happiness is finally restored by the confession of the young wife.

JAMES R. WAITE.

Nothing illustrates better. perhaps, the catholicity of taste that distinguishes thn vaudeville patron than the favor with which James R. Waite's pretty comedietta, "A Touch of Nature" Is being received at the Jacques this week. With 0. ly light touches of comedy here and there, and with real phases of life of serious trend exempli- fed. it is a tribute to the range of ap- preciation- that so much delightful pleasure Is found in it by the audi ences. 1t is no mistake, surely. to say that it is a splendidly interesting play let, acted in a way to reach the hearts of an audience. There is lots of com edy, some of the rougher and some of the refined sort, preceding it on the bill. so that the show as whole de- n1ands quite as much laughter as Mir Waite's act arouses attention.

The yard is legally expressed as the 3, s,6oo-3, earth part of meter.-D Detroit Free Press.
