TARIFF is OFF COAL.
CONGRESS VOTES TO SUSPEND
DUTY FOR ONE YEAR.
Measure Is Favorabiy Acted Upon by
Both Branches of Congress, Together
with Senate Amendment Putting
Anthracite Permanently ON Free List


King Coal swept everything before
hIm IN the national capitol Wednesday.
The House passed the bill admitting coal
duty free for year, there being Only
SIX votes against Then the Senate
sprung surprise ON the country. 1t
passed the same bin within nine minutes
after it was received from the House,
without debate and without a vote in the
negative. But this was not the greatest
surprise the coal panic which had seized
the statesmen produced during the day.
Representative Jenkins Of Wisconsin,
generally supposed TO be conservative
public man, and occupying the important
post of chairman of the House judiciary
committee, introduced resolution aimed
to prepare the way for government seiz-
ure of 'sall COAL coal beds and coal mines
in tile United States and all lines of
transportation used in carrying coal"
Mr.. Jenkins believes the government
ought to step in and take possession of
every coal mine in the coun try and all
the railroads which carry coal to market.
Votes Off Coal Duty.
In the House the bill providing for
coal duty rebates passed in short order
AasS ave- NhO hoteu IL 6EEe LUSH
man and Jones of Washington, Gaines of
West Virginia, Mondell of Wyoming and
Patterson of Pennsylvania. The bill was
considered under the operation of rule
which cut off opportunity to amend. The
only opposition to the measure came
from some of the members representing
coal States, who expressed the fear that
the admission Of Chinese-iained coal from
Canada would injure the coal industry
in their States.
Both Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsylvania ard
Mr.. Payne of New York expressed the
opinion that the bill would not relieve
the existing distress. They said it would
satisfy public demand for action and
show the disposition of Congress to do
what it could.
The Democrats, although they all sup
ported the bill, said that coal should go
on the free list, and when the bill came
back from the Senate with a provision
which virtually placed anthracite on the
free list they applauded vigorously. The
Senate amendment was adopted without
division.
The Senate went further than the
House, for it adopted an amendment
which practically puts anthracite on the
free list, by adding a section to prevent
the imposition of duty on anthracite
after the expiration Of the time pro-
vided for in the BILL

TWO FAMOUS SPINSTERS.
Miss Holley Is as Fashionable as Clara
Barton Is Old Fashioned.

Clara Barton and Marietta Holley
('Josiah Aliens Wife, are friends of
long standing. To Miss Holley's
beautiful country home in Adams,
Jefferson county, New York,-a home
built out Of the earnings of her pen
Clara Barton goes for rest and COM
partnership whenever she finds herself
with leisure and strength to make the
journey from her home in Washington,
for Clara Barton is in her eighty
second year.
Miss Holley drives spanking team.
In her house is built an organ. A
piano and other musical instruments
are in the living-room. Miss Holley
was music teacher before she found
fame and fortune in one book She
is a poet and composer of music.
Because of these accomplishments, no
less tnan the sympathy of New Eng
land birth, Clara Barton, schooled to
war, finds solace in the companion
ship of the poet and humorist.
Striking is the difference in ap-
pearance between the heroine of war
hospital life and the Greater of Betsey
Bobbin. Slight of stature, old fash
toned beyond recall in manner and
dress, Clara Barton conceals so well
her fore of character that hers is
what might be called an apologize
appearance So low is her voice that
it can be heard with uIniculty in con-
versation, unless ears are all atten-
ton. Marietta Holley is handsome,
big, commanding, with soft, fluffy,
white hair, large, brown, velvety eyes
fair complexion. She would attract
attention anywhere, and never more
so than when walking or riding with
Clara Barton. Twice a year she
comes to New York. If possible,
Clara Barton always joins her, and
they have good, old fashioned visits
together in an uptown hotel. Gowns
and royalties play no part in the New
York trips of the founder of the Red
Cross society But Marietta Holley
keeps r1odistes and publishers busy,
the one group in making for her the
prettiest gowns they can devise; the
other in settling accounts.
