THE HOUSE SESSION
Yesterday Devoted to Eulogies of Late
Senator Mcmillan.

The House met at noon yesterday for the
purpose OF pronouncing eulogies in the
memory of the late Senator Mcmillan of
Michigan. The speakers were Messrs. Cor
liss, N. A. Smith, Hamilton, s. w. Smith,
Gardner and Henry G. Smith Of Michigan;
Babcock of Wisconsin and Burton Of Ohio.
Representative Babcock chairman Of the
committee on the District Of Columbia, was
intimately associated with Senator McMil-
Ian.
II early learned to admire his character
and to respect his judgment" said Mr.. Bah
cock. referring to the Michigan senator.
To me he was the ideal senator, ripe in
years and experience; one whose efforts in
a business way had been crowned with sue
cess and one whose public service had been
recognized not only by his own state, but
by the nation. Independent in all things,
successful In all things, he was peculiarly
fitted to discharge the duties of his high
office. In committee. in conference between
the two houses. he was gentle and consider
ate of the opinions of others, yet, when he
believed that he was right was firm and
unyielding. No influences could reach him
except those which appealed to his sense of
justice and right
He was a stanch friend Of the District
or Columbia, and his death was their great
loss. believe that one of the great If not
the greatest. ambitions Of his life was to
beautify and develop the capital, and make
1t the most attractive city in the world.
His character was written in his face,
and one had but to know him to admire the
influences which governed his every action,
for 1t is one of the compensatory laws OF
nature that the thoughts we think, the
hopes and aspirations we entertain, our
wishes our moral makeup, in short, our
character, sooner or later in life, become
engraved upon the face in lines that cannot
be effaced and tell to the world the kind OF
life that we have lived.
II believe this was true of Senator Nc
MILAN. His face fully expressed the life
that he had lived, the forceful, earnest
character, the great, kind heart, and that
gentle consideration he had for others.
"When the story Of the city Of Washing
ton Is told in years to come his name will
be household word. He left his work I'M
should all be proud to follow"

NURSING BOOM FOR oLNEY.
Josiah Quincy Takes Lead Of Bay State
Committee

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Boston yesterday says: The demo-
cratic state committee has organized, with
ex-Secretary Of State Josiah Quincy at the
head Of. its executive committee, for the
benefit, 1t is stated by those in close touchj
with party leaders. of the boom Of ex-
Secretary Richard Olney for the demos,
cratic nomination for the presidency in 1904,
1t Is now an open secret that for two;
months Mr.. Quincy has been hard at work;
looking after the plans Of the campaign to-
make Mr.. Olney the nominee for Presi-
dent in 1904. Now. to control Olney as q
candidate. control Of the state machine in
this state is an absolute necessity, espe-l
cially since George Fred Williams. who is
the national committeeman and who as
pires to be delegate at large to the next;
national convention. is openly against the
former cabinet official That explains why
Quincy has come to the front.
All the old forces OF the blue-blooded
democracy Of the state have been drawn
into line for Olney. Declarations for the
Massachusetts, man from the various lead,
ers In the southern states which began to
appear two months ago have helped the
boom along.
The declaration Of Congressman Under
wood Of Mississippi was one Of these.
The conference of Messrs. Olney, Whitney.
and Cleveland in New York last week had
an important bearing on the campaign All,
the parties bafled the New York reporters.
with the story that 1t was merely PERSONAL
gathering Of some old friends but ex-Con-
gresham J. F. Fitzgerald was we'll aware;
that this meeting was to take place ten
days before 1t actually did. From what he
says Messrs. Cleveland and Whitney arei
not particularly inclined to favor Judge
Parker of New York.
While 1t is intended to have Massachu-
setts join in a part Of the chorus for Olney.
the leaders want to make certain that after
the boom has start the state will ring
true. and that is why the Massachusetts,
state committee is prize sufficient to bring
Quincy out Of statistical retirement.

CLAIMS HE CAN BURN WATER.
John A. Montgomery Of Williamsport
Has Valuable Invention.

A special dispatch to the Philadelphia
North American from Williamsport. Pa,
says: When John A. Montgomery Of this
city announced few days ago that he had
perfected device by means of which water
could be used as fuel in any stove. people
began to doubt his reason. This suspicion
has now given place to an intense interest
in the old inventors scheme which is daily
becoming more widespread.
That the invention is complete and thor
oughly practicable there is no longer any
doubt for tests made in the presence OF
disinterested persons have been perfectly
successful. In making a demonstration
Mr.. Montgomery draws some aqua pura
from the hydrant and pours 1t into the
burner through metal tube. The water
apparently undergoes decomposition dur
ing it's progress through the tube and
presently appears in the crate in the form

GOT POST OFFICES MIXED.
One Man Out of Job Through Resig-
nation Written by Another.

A special to the New York Times from
Raleigh. N. c., yesterday says: An ANUS
ing thing occurred concerning the post Of
fee at Benson in this state the other day.
The department at Washington announced
that the postmaster at Benson had re-
signed and that the Office paid 500 per
year. An official letter was forwarded ac-
cepting the resignation. This was the first
notice the Benson postmaster had of the
fact that he had voluntarily given up his
paying office.
He took the first train to Washington, ac-
companied by number Of persons who de-
sired to succeed him as postmaster. He
announced to the fourth assistant postnias-
ter general that he had not written any
letter resigning his office. The letter was
found. 1t was signed by a man who was
postmaster of an office near Benson, which
pays $50 year.
1t was learned that the man had gone
into the Benson post office, got sheet Of
the official paper of the Benson postmas-
ter and wrote his letter without giving
the name of his office. The Benson official
holds his job, but he is required to give a
new bond and go into office as when he was
first appointed.

THE PROGRESS OF THE TEMPERANCE
MOVEMENT.

The chronicle Of wonders, Icalled the
history of the ninteenth century, re-
cords victories of civilization trans
cending those of the previous fourteen
hundred years taken together, and in
its long list of moral triumphs the DO.
gress of temperance ranks second only
to the abolition Of the slave traffic. A
complete success of the prohibition
movement would reverse that sequence
Of prestige.
The alcohol mania has proved q far
more!rninous delusion than the belief
IN the justice Of the custom to enforce
the servitude of unciviliZed races. For
one suicide caused by slavery. the
liquor passion has caused a thousand.
The inhumanities perpetrated by the
taskmasters of helpless bondmen are
surpassed by those which millions of
women and children have suffered at
the hands of rum claZad relatives.
Four out of five convicted criminals
can trace their ruin TO their passion
for intoxicating beverages, and an equal
percentage Of lunatics owe their aff1ic-
ton to the foe that steals away the
BRAIN" Moreover, the manacles of
the alcohol passion are harder to break
than the chains of serfdom. and that
circumstance is perhaps the ultimate
cause of the difference in the complete.
ness of the triumph achieved By the
abolition league and the advocates ,.of
prohibition.
Still, the progress OF temperance
during the last hundred years is enor-
nous as compared with that Of any
previous century since the days of
Pythagoras, and may even be said to
eclipse the general success of the
struggle against the power of ignorance
and delusiOn.

W. c. T. o. COLUMN.
Conducted by the ladie. of the w. C. T. U.

Another wrecked life is that of q
young man whose family name is one
of the hest in American history. His
father was once the first man of his
day IN philanthIoplc and commercial
circles. His uncle was justice of the
supreme court. Another was doctor
of divinity. He himself had splendid
education and an exceptional nppor-
tunity. But when the day came TO
make his eternal choice between self
will and surrender to the Lord Of life
His to be and Him to serve, he chose
self. His life had no governing pur-
pose. He was good fellow without
aim or objective. He began to drift,
then to dissipate, and now he is u
vagabond. For years he has not writ,
ten to his people and hopes they think
HIM dead. 10 friend of ours he re-
lated how the desire to see once more
his mothers sweet Christian face took
him back home; how his own brother
passed and repassed him on the street,
little thinking that the dissolute wretch
by the gutter was his own hayward
brother; he told how he climbed up and
looked through the blinds, then crept
away after one look at the home scene
within. Says he:
Mother would have taken me in and
clothed me and rejoiced oyer my re-
turn. But in a week I'd have been
drunk and in rags again. [ might have
been man once. even after l took TO
drink, but l am powerless now. Vaga-
'bondi7m has got me and 1 cannot

These are human experiences. They
are of this day and age. They are
facts, not parallels. They are for
parents. What assurance have we
that our boys are not going the way
that leads to destruction. Are we
trusting alone to their good heredity?-
Do not trust too long
