WOMhh's RIGHTS WOMAN.
Made her Husband Stop Drinking
She Got the Habit.

Washington, N. j., March Mrs.
Moses de Remer, of Phillipsburg,
several months ago created sensation
by entering saloon where her hus.
band and companions were. Seating
herself at table at which there were
several men she ordered drinks for the
party.
When Mr.. de Remer demonstrated
she declared her privileges were the
same as his, saying she intended to
frequent saloons and drink until he
stopped doing the same thing.
The husband gave up drinking. His
wife, overcome by the craving for in
toxicants, could not.
Last week she came home intoxicated
and attacked her husband with butch
er knife. She was arrested.

The Daughters and the Press.

When pugilistic member OF the D.
a. R. convention in Washington pro
claimed to the women reporters that
she would see to it that the next con-
vention barred out all newspaper re-
presentatives, one Of them retorted ::
"Do it. Just try keeping the news
paper reporters out of your congress,
and there won't be enough of your old
society left in two years time to make
q grease spot. You all live on news
paper notoriety, and if you couldn' t
have your fuss and feathers, your pink
teas, and your comings and goings
generally, written up in the newspa-
pers, you would yield up your char
ters." It is to be hoped that the pugll-
listic lady's threat will be made good.
This will give the reporters more
time for the collection of real news,
and it will give the organizations
chance to disprove the theory that
they could not exist without newspa-
per notoriety.-Louisville Courier
Journal.

Latest Railroad Deal.

Birmingham, Ala, March 5.-The
Age Herald will say tomorrow:
It is announced on good authority
that the st. Louis and San Francisco,
known as the Frisco system, control
of which was recently acquired by the
Rock Island in conjunction with the
Morgan-Southern Railway interests,
will be parcelled as follows:
That part of the Frisco between
Birmingham and Memphis to be ope-
rated as part of the Southern sys-
tenn, and that part west of the Missis-
sippi as part of the Rock Island.
It is not stated when this arrange
ment will become effective, but it is
believed that it will be some time IN
the next few days.
The Southern thus gets a great
western connection without departing
from its policy of keeping itself east
of the Mississippi.

a Negro Desperate Killed.


Nashville, Tenn., March 1.-Two
deputy sherifs and a constable had a
desperate battle late this afternoon
with Joshua Farmer, a negro, as a
result of which the negro is dead and
constable W. B. Eason is in the city
hospital in a dying condition. The
negro was wanted on q charge of as
saulting negro woman with intent
to kill, and recently had sccessfully
resisted arrest, beating an officer over
the head with pistol. Today the
officers located Farmer in house in the
west end, and upon their approach the
negro opened fire. A fusilade follow
ed, during which Eason was shot four
times through the abdomen. The ne
gro finally ceased firing and the off
GERS found on investigation that he
was shot ten times. He died tonight.

CONGRESS- ADJ0URNs.
The Democrats Refuse to Gush
Over Speaker Henderson.

Washington, March 4.-The 57th
Congress expired at noon today by
limitation. In many respects the clos
ing scenes were similar to those at the
end of every Congress. Every four
years, however, there is an lnaugura-
tion which materially changes the
proceedings in the Senate, but the ex-
piration of a Congress in the House
is very much the same each time.
But there has not been in many years
such demonstration in the House as
occurred today, owing to the fact that
Speaker Henderson was retiring not
only as presiding officer, but from the
House as member. The bitter par
tisan feeling that has sprung up in the
House of Representatives during the
past week reached pitch which pre-
vented the Speaker from receiving the
unanimonus approval of the House
when the usual resolution OF thanks
and courtesy was offered. More than
this, the reslution had to come from
the Republican side, and while this
has occurred before, it is not the usual
custom. The usual resolution of
thanks to President Pro Tempore Frye
was unanimously adopted in the Sen
tae.
Two years ago, when the 18Th Con-
gress expired, it was remarkable not
only for the second Inauguration of
Vim. Mckinley, but also for the fact
that Senator Carter, Of Montana, talk
ed the river and harbor bill to death,
which occupied the time of the Senate
up to within few minutes of the end.
To-day Senator Mason, whose term
expired at noon, also talked an unim-
portant bill to death, but in his vale
dictory he lectured the Senate for its
unlimited debate, which allows bills
to be killed in that manner, and also
made a final plea for the freedom OF
the Filipinos.
AS all the important sup
ply bills had passed before
the two houses took recess
this morning no legislation was neces-
sary and none was attempted.
The bills which had passed and
reached the stage of enrolment we're
all signed by the President, who, with
members of his cabinet. occupied the
Presidents room in the Senate wing
of the Capitol. This biennial visit OF
the President to the Senate is one of
the features of closing Congress.
