The Woman of Poise.

The woman of pOise INDUCES in few
EXPLANATIONS or superlatives, and does
not waste enthusiasm over trifes
She is gracious, but never gushing, and
she has acquired the habit of listening
attentively, not awaiting with ill-con-
cealed eagerness a pause in the con-
versation to enable her to rush in and
take the floor. The woman of poise
never fingers after her goodbye has
been spoken; never, in fact, under any
circumstances talks long while stand

leave gracefully. She says goodbye,
gives you a bright smile, and is off to

quently comment on the attractive
meat shops to be seen there. This at
Effectiveness is secured largely by the
use of ornamental tiles for floors,
walls and even ceilings and counters.
The tiles on the walls are similar to
those used in bathrooms in the United
States. They are generally Of light
shades, arranged in patterns Of artistic
design. The floors are also laid with
tiles of different cOlors. These tiles,
however, are unglazed and are heavier
and of cheaper quality than those on
the walls. In one Of the most attract
iuo of these shops the walls are OF
~ colored tiles, with panels Of

tGoWhich runs along two sides Of the
room, is of the same ivory colored ma
terial, ornamented in gold. 1t presents
rich, handsome appearance. Even
the bookholders, scales and gas fix,
lures are tiled. The general effect OF
the room is suggestive, above all, Of
cleanliness. StOneware furniture fol
stores is a novelty in Germany, and
seems to be applicable especially tc
meat shops, fish and other markets,
kitchens, sculleries, etc. The most i'm,
portant centre for its manufacture in
that country is Mettlach, where there
are several large factories.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

After transacting some routine business
the House of Representatives today adopt
ed a resolution to give the day to the con-
sideration of bills reported from the judi
ciary committee.
The following bills were passed: To es-
tabllsh a regular term Of the United States
district court at Addison, w, Va; to Tx
the times for holding district and circuit
courts in the northern and middle districts
Of Alabama; to establish United states
courts at Duncan and Marietta, l. t.: to
fix the times for holding courts in the
eastern district of Arkansas; to detach
Dimmit county from the southern and at
tach 1t to the western judicial district OF
Texas; fixing the minimum punishment for
stealing stock in Indian territory: to fix
terms of United States courts In Colorado.
Liquor Bill Passed.
The bill reported by the committee yes
terday relative to the decision of the SUI
preme Court against the power OF the
states in the exercise of their police pow
ers to prohibit the importation of intoxicat-
ing liquors in original packages by placing
imported liquors under the Jurisdiction of
the states as IL manufactured or produced
therein, occasioned some debate.
In reply to questions. Mr.. Clayton (Ala.).
who was in charge of the bill, explained
that it would permit prohibition states to
break up the practice now INDUCED in OF
permitting firms to buy and import intoxI-
cants In original packages, but that !.
would not prevent an individual from inn
porting for his personal use.
Mr.. Bartholdt (Mo) opposed the bill on
the ground that it would legaiize prohl'
bition
Several of the Iowa members explained
how the prohibition law in Iowa was evad-
ed by importationS under the original pack
age decision.
Mr.. Smith said that liquors were imported
into that state and held IN express COM
panies offices subject to delivery to who
ever would pay the c. o. d. express
charges.
Mr.. Kleberg (Texas) opposed the bill as
an unwarranted interference with inter-
state commerce. The bill finally was pass
ed without division.
Bills also were passed to create an addi-
tional circuit Judge for the eighth judicial
circuit. to provide for an additional district
judge in the district of Minnesota: for the
relief Of the clerks Of circuit and district

UNION STATION BILL
CoNFEREES AGREED ON ALL BUT
ONE ITEM

The conferees on the union station bill
Old not come to any agreement as the re-
suit OF their meeting yesterday afternoon
and this morning they were again together
IN order to hear the arguments of President
Dunlop of the Capital Traction Company
and Of Gen. Harries, vice president of the
Washington Electric and Traction Com
pany. President Dunlop and Gen Harrfes
both favored placing in the bill provision
Tor the construction Of street railway
tracks to accommodate the business of the
new station on Massachusetts, avenue.
Representative Babcock it is understood,
mas been opposed to this course, and has
taken the ground that as it would require
three years to complete the work of build
Ing the new station the street railroad COM
panies can be provided for in a separate
bill to be passed later.
The railroad companies urged that their
needs In this respect are absolute and can
not be changed by future DEVELOPMENT so
that there would be no reason why they
should not be provided for in the bill as 1t
finally becomes law, instead Of by a sepa-
rate measure. They claimed also that the
more time they can be given the better
they can operate in harmony with the plan
Tor the union station.
One Item in Dispute.
The conferees have come to an agreement
on all items of the bill except the one which
provides 1or reduction in the amount OF
money to be paid to the two roads of 81, OOO,-
900. They agreed to take from the bill the
provision relating to the location and con-
struction Of street railroad tracks and to
provide for that In a separate bill at some
other time. probably in the next Congress
All of the other differences between the
bill as passed by the House and the bill as
by the Senate are regarded as of minor
Importance, and the House bill has been
adopted, except In the case of minor
changes. in order to perfect the measure
1t Is not expected that report of this
partial agreement will be made to either
the Senate or the House today but IL will
come up tomorrow. 1t is expected that the
sense OF the House will be tested on vote
In relation to the agreement.
As the Senate conferees disagree with the
House on the proposition to reduce the
amount OF money to be paid to the roads a
motion may be made in the House tomor-
row providing for a compromise by cutting
IN half the amount that was to be retained
oy the bill as 1t passed the House That
is instead of giving the Baltimore and Ohio
ana the Pennsylvania each half a million
dollars less than provided by the Senate
Dill proposition may be made TO give
each OF them quarter of million dollars
less, or some other amount and in that
way the temper of the House will be ascer-
tanned.
