ANTITRUST BILL TO PASS.
Legislation Probable Along Lines
Laid Down by Knox.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Following
the conference at the white house last
night, attended by Senator Aldrich
and Speaker Henderson, there has
been great deal of discussion among
the Republicans of the senate as to the
prospects of antitrust legislation dur
ing this session of congress. The con-
clusion reached is that some measure
will be passed.
A prominent senator said he thought
there would be legislation this session,
not alone for the bill introduced by
Senator Hoar, but more in the nature
of suggestions made by Attorney Cen
eral Knox. One feature Of the Knox
bill that was favorably considered
was that which provided for the pun
ishment of the person or corporation
which received rebates as well as the
carrier or corporation that gave them.

A Maniac,s Poem.

Probably the mass of prison poetry
which has been written on stools and
bedposts and scratched on prison walls
far exceeds that which has found ex-
preston on paper, and many mute,
inglorious Milton" has begun and fin
ished his poetical career with these
''lost to sight" productions.
There is in existence short poem,
said to have been scratched by a
maniac on the wall of his cell, which
runs thus:
Could with ink the ocean fill,
Were all the world of parchment made.
Were every reed on earth quill
And every man a scribe by trade,
To write the love Of God alone
Would drain that ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.
The authenticity Of this being the
work Of amaniac has often been ques-
toned because Of the beauty of its ex-
preston and it's sound reason, but the
story stands.-All the Year Round.

saved BY an owl.

King Robert the Bruce, according to|
the well known story, once owed his
safety to a spider. Among the Tar
tars Of central Asia there is belief
that one Of their khans or chiefs was
preserved, long years ago, by the great
horned owl. He had hidden in a
thicket to avoid capture by some enc
mics. BY and by his pursuers came to
this spot
The first thing they saw was an owl
sitting on bush. What did this mean !?
1t signified in their eyes that this bird
would not rest quietly there if any man
were lying concealed close by. There
fore they argued that the khan could
not be there, and SO they hurried on
to search for him elsewhere. At night
fall the khan made his way to the
camp Of his men and told them how
he had been saved from certain death.
His story caused them ever afterward
to look upon the owl with reverence
and love. They wore its feathers in
their caps as pledge Of victory.

An Enduring Record.

They commemorate the virtues Of the
successive wives Of one of the towns
inhabitants. A peculiar thing about
the monuments is that not alone do
they perpetuate the memory Of each of
his helpmates, but they serve as sort
Of financial barometer to record the
husbands rising fortunes.
The first wife had modest little
headstone. The second wifes memorial
was on the same order, but it was at
least two feet taller. The third wife
differed both as to style and size, being
greatly superior to either of the others,
while to the fourth and last was grant
ed the distinction of a granite shaft.

City Council Takes a Hand.

Chicago, Jan. 13.-The city coun-
Gil last night took hand in the solu-
ton Of the coal problem. An ordi-
nance was passed making the fore
stalling of fuel supplies misdemean-
or, punishable with fine OF 5000 for
each offense. As an emergency mat
ter, the measure was rushed
through under suspension of the rules.
After ten days it goes into effect and
then any dealer or firm that combines
with the intent to raise the price Of
any fuel commodity will be amenable
to the courts for violation of city
ordinance.
1t is asserted that one of the wit
nesses before the grand jury testified
that there was combination and that
about one dozen companies were par
ties to the agreement to keep up the
price of coal outside.
