Unless memory is unusually treach-
erous, it was in 1856 thata postmaster
was appointed for Kankakee, ILL.,,
whose nomination made the senate, in
executive session, red hot. The enc
mics of the man appointed got so busy
hat they called him all sorts Of names,
and undertook to prove it. If the
stories told in executive session at that
time had been made public there would
hava been a lot of trouble in kanka-
kee.
Then again, in 1894. when the nomi-
nation of Alex. Charles to be post
master at Cedar Rapids, Ia, was under
consideration, the senate had an awful
ly hot time over the charges that were
filed. 1t was alleged that Mr.. Charles
had done everything on earth except
say his prayers and be a good citizen.
However, he was confirmed, in the long
run.
But to return to the supreme court
nominations. President Grant NOM
mated Mr.. Williams, of Oregon, to be
chief justice. and Senator Sumner made
such a hot fight against confirmation
that the name was withdrawn. Then
Grant nominated Caleb Cushing to be
chief justice, but there was bitter OPP
position. Finally Secretary of State
Fish went personally to the senate and
begged for Cushing's confirmation.
The opposition was melting away

HOW WILD ANIMALS FIGHT.
When n Buffalo Bull and Lions Get
Together the Battle Is
Terrific.

In the pitched battles which some.
times take place between the great
carnivora and the largest and most
powerful of the OK tribe the forces
of animal courage, desperation and
bodily strength must be exhibited on
a scale never elsewhere seen, says Il
writer in Leslie's Weekly. Such com
bats do occur, but have seldom been
witnessed, and still less frequently
described. Two or three lions some
times combine in such an attack, but
from the marks seen on buffalo it
is probable that sometimes there is ii
single combat, for it can hardly be
supposed that the buffalo, could es-
cape from more than one lion.
The number Of foot-pounds of en-
ergy put into such a struggle mus
be something extraordinary. The Ell
forts of a lion, which a strike a
mans arm from the shoulder and
leave it hanging by a strip of skin,
or which can carry a COW over a hlgi
stockade, ~endeavoring unsuccessfulti
in close grips. to drag down or disa-
BILE a buffalo bull, must be on a gi-
gantic scale, and the strength which
car shake him off, and, it is believed.
occasionally crush the lion after
ward, must be even more amazing.
A buffalo bull has been credited with
engaging three lions in mortal COM
bat, and making a good fight before
he was disabled by one of the lions
hamstringing him by biting his legs
from behind.

other cities the red lights are signifi-
cant of other conditions; while here.
in the temple of national legislation
over the entrances of the Sanhedrim
of the chosen ones, the red light in
dicates that exclusiveness profound is
ordered. On the inside the legislative
deities are considering executive APP
pointments and sitting treaties with
foreign governments.
Not only do the red lights Indicate
that the senate is in executive session.
The g~littering uniforms of the capitol
police officials who surround the cham
Der, keep the people moving in the
corridors, while two sit at either side
of each of the grand marble stairways
leading to the galleries. Every public
entrance is closed. 1t looks as though
the senate had been hermetically
sealed. The atmosphere is permeated
with awe. One is SO deeply impressed
that a chilly sensation chases up and
down your back, while shrinking from
the sacred silence. If one moves too
near a door, one of the men in uniform
taps the shoulder of the intruder. and
in an undertaker's whisper reminds
him that the senate is in executive ses-
sion.

DANCE OF THE DEER.
Unusual and Beautiful Sight Wit

Charmed by 1t.

The first time l saw him was in the
| company of his mother and a sister,
whom he much resembled, says Hugh
M. Warrand, in ''Blackwood's Maga-
zine" He vas playing and nibbling
| along the soft edge of a little tarn.
| What a dainty, nimble, unconcerned
looking little person he was! L sat
hidden on a hillock about 200 yards dis
tant watching the trio. His mother
was a very large old doe, whom | had
known by sight for several seasons;
but this was the only n in which h
had been successful in rearing both
her infants to such an G of semi
independence.
1t might have been a week later ere
| saw the old mother doe out again
with her family, when again l found
her feeding by the little tarn in the
hollow. She appeared totally unaware
of my presence, and what she was
| about l could not imagine, for she
strolled backward and forward, as a
man might who was making up his

hope to see again.
Round went the old doe, faster and
faster, her children after her; then
she faced about, chasing the latter this
time; again, she turned and was fol-
lowed; and so the game went on.
Presently all three were out of the

away through the heather, over the

l had seen the last of them for one

complicated than the first. / wish |

SENATE RED LIGHTS.
When They Shine, August Body Is

What Happens Then Behind the
We~II-Guarded Doors Nobody
Gels TO Know, Except in
Isolated Cases.
Especial Washington letter.

lGpeHAil NdsHiiSt hSttSAsI
IT. HIS government of ours is divided
into three branches, which are
equal in power under the CON
stitution. The executive, meaning the
president, who controls all of the exec
utiye departments; the legislative, in
Guiding the senate apd house OF repre-
~sentat1ves, and the judicial, which
means the supreme court.
The executive and legislative
branches of the government are elect
ed By the people; but the supreme
court is composed of individuals APP
pointed by the president, and confirmed
by the senate. Consequently, the
supreme court is farthest removed
from the people, although it is, and
always has been, the safe conservator
of the rights of the people under their
constitution 1t was the purpose OF
the 1ramer of the constitution to give
to the people everlastingly the right
to choose their own president and
legislators; but, with wise discretion,
they removed from the direct power
of popular impulse, the great judicial
tribunal. Therefore, in this govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people, the supreme court is
free from the immediate power of the
people.
OF course, the people elect their presi-
dents, and those presidents nominate
judges of the supreme court. OF
course the people, through theirlegis-
latures, elect the senators who con-
firm the judicial nominations, which
are made by the president; but when
those Judges are installed they are'so
far removed from the people that their
judgments are free from any politi-
cal influence whatever. On this ac-
count, mainly, the decisions of the
supreme court have universally been
commended by fair minded men of all
political affiliations. Even the famous
bred Scott decision is admitted to
have been an absolutely correct in
depreciation of the constitutions; be-
cause the constitution, u~namended,
gave the Negro" mo rights which a white
man was bound to respect" Even the
amended constitution does not compel
that respect which was intended to be
compelled. because there has always
been a lack of vigor in the enforce
ment of the amendments and of the
civil rights statute.
1t has become the duty of President
Roosevelt to select two justices of the
supreme court, and those selections
have met with popular approval, as
well as senatorial consent. Other
presidents have had great difficulty.
at times, in selecting for these impor-
tant positions men whose nominations
were wholly in accord with the views
of a majority of the senator's.
The nominations sent to the senate
by the president are always considered
in executive session; and what SEN
ators say when all of the doors are
closed cannot be ascertained by the
general public. In those sessions the
statesmen talk very freely, and vent
their views without always maintain
ing that decorum of demeanor and that
courtesy to each other, which are pro-
verbal when the senate is in public
session.
When the senate is in executive
session a red light appears over the
