scene of many stormy encounters. but the
demonstration Thursday eclipscd all rec
ords. For time 1t seemed as if Speaker
Miller's life was in danger. The fact
that several women occupied seats on
the platform behind him was his saliva
ton. otherwise he would have been the
target of inkstands. chair legs. ten-pound
books and. perhaps. bullets.
When the Indy traction bill-the
cause of all the disturbance-was called
up. Representative Indy offered the
amendments prepared and moved their
adoption.
Fifty Jump to Their Feet.
With one accord fifty men jumped to
their feet and demanded n roll call. The
first amendment was read, although not
word could be heard because of the
clamor. Miller put the motion and de-
clared the amendment adopted.
Cries for a roll call were kept up and
members, with faces white with rage,
began to move toward the Speaker S
chair. 1t was plainly hostile move.
and the policemen under the command OF
the doorkeeper were rallied for defense.
Clerk Reeve began to read the second
amendment. SPEAKER Miller also declared
the amendment adopted.
You are liar" shouted Allen of
Vermilion. The hubbub waxed fercer.
There were six amendments, and before
all were disposed of Speaker Miiler's
face grew white.
Representative Ed Cummings of Chi
cago tore n board from n desk and ad
vanced threateningly toward the Speak

chairs were seized for the attack.

the last amendment the pandemonium.

A Pastoral Call Upon Lincoln.

A Pastoral Call Upon Lincoln.
William E. Curtis tells a story of a
clergyman of little Central New York
village, who, upon being introduced to
President Lincoln during the dark days
of the Civil War, was asked: What can
/ do for you?" Il have not come to ask
any favors Of you, Mr. President" the
latter replied; Il have only come to say
that the loyal people Of the North are
sustaining you. and will continue to do
so. We are giving you all that we have
the lives Of our SONS as well as our
confidence and our prayers. You must
know that no pious father or mother
ever kneels in prayer these days with
out asking God to give your strength
and wisdom" The tears filed Eincoifls
eyes as he thanked his visitor, and said:
"But for those prayers I should have
faltered and perhaps failed long ago.
Tell every father and mother you know
to keep on praying and will keep on
fighting. for I am sure that God Is on
our side AS the clergyman started to
leave the room, Lincoln held him by the
hand and said: 81 suppose may con-
slider this sort Of pastoral call" Yes"
replied the clergyman. "Out in our
country" continued Lincoln, when a
parson made a pastoral call 1t was al
ways the custom for the folks to ask
him to lead In prayer, and should like
to ask you to pray with me to-day
pray that may have strength and wis

His Last Smoke.

During the siege Of Vicksburg an
amusing incident came under my OBJ
servation. The command to which /
belonged was directly in front Of the
stockade at the right of the ridge on
which ran the Messurgutterry and
Yazoo wagon roads. While on picket
duty one night Johnny and Yank
struck up a conversation. Both were
Irishmen. and both from the same local
ity in Missouri. After bantering each
other a while they found they were old
acquaintances. When through asking
after friends, which they knew well in
the different commands, the Johnny
Irishman said to the Union Irishman:
"Say, Tom, can't We come oop this
way and gimme poipe er terbaccy"
Ter ther devil wild yerr exclaimed
the bluecoat: ''yez air er dirthy trather

Jersey City Will Furnish
That Township With
Water for the Next
Ten Years.

So far as Harrison is concerned in the
matter of Jersey City continuing to sup
ply the West Hudson townships with
water the city has won after hard
fight with the New York and Suburban
Water Company.
Kearny has not yet taken definite ac-
tion, but it is believed she will follow
Harrison's example.
The Town Council of Harrison last
night, in lengthy hearing, bristling with
sharp debates, decided unanimously to
enter into contract with Jersey City
to supply it with water for ten years.
The initial price is to be $S4 million
gallons. Harrison Township at present
consumes about 100000 gallons of water
daily.
: The New York and Suburban Water
Company was represented last night by
Messrs Beall & Washington. Jersey
City was represented by the entire Board
of Street and Water Commissioners, in
cluding Clerk George oButon, and by
Chief Engineer Van Keuren.

flake" Cantor Of New York,
Tells How He Did It.
Heat Lops Oft oratory.


Quite large crowd watched this after
noon the laying of the corner stone of
the new Public Bath House in the vicin-
ity of First and Coles streets. Owing to
the heat the programme of the exercises
was somewhat curtaiIed. There were adj
dressed by President Jacob A. Cantor, Of
the Borough of Manhattan, and by
Mayor Pagan, who laid the stone.
In his address the Mayor alluded to
the project as most useful institution,
the usefulness of which had been demon
strated in New York and other cities by
the patronage of the people. He said
such Institutions exercised an influence
upon the public health Of city and were
a source of pleasure and benefit to a de-
serving class Of citizens; that they created
of municipal affairs among large class
of people who live in tenements and
hlred apartments. Such an institution,
he declared, was not charity, and every
citizen could avail himself of the pri-
yileges without loss of self-respect, and
fele that he was as much proprietor Of
the institution as any other person.
The Mayor gracefully acknowledged
the services of the Finance Board Com
mittee on New Public Baths Building
Messrs. Daudt, Perry and Quinn, and
that Of Architect Rowland, who, he said,
had made an intelligent and effective in
vestigation of the subject in other cities.
He congratulated the people of the city
on the establishment of such a beenfcent
institution.
