thing to do was to "clinch" the bill now
before the House, as it had already
passed the Senate.
Mr.. Littlefeld asked ifwhether he could
secure unanimous consent to have the
word "willfnl" describing the act Of
railroads in failure to comply with the
provisions of the act, stricken from the
bill. He said that the government
should not be compelled to prove that
the act of railroad was "willful."
Mr.. De Almond said that the bill
would do no good and that the republic
cans who were back of it knew it. He
said that the bill is weaker than the law
already on the statute book, and he
charged the republicans with being afraid
to 20 on record as legislating against the
trus a.
Mr.. Oyerstreet, a member of the sub
committee of the committee on the
judiciary, that defeated the Littlefield
antitrust bill, said that it was the part
of wisdom to make certain the enacting
into law of the bill now before the
House, by voting for it as it now stands,
On yea and nay vote the rule was
adopted 40 to 10 and the bill subse-
quently passed.

Reckless Display of Money.

2SslOO bills, which he laid about the floor

Gently repaired at Seneca Falls for the
department of this city, was not on It's

surmised, but was close to Alexandra,
Virginia. According to the report the
engine had been located on at ding
somewhere between Baltimore and Wash

Fayette street at any time. The au-
thorities of the Washington-Southern

TO that effect. An ancient ana holior-
able custom, that ofsending tokens OF eS-

one is, indeed. sorry that the custom IS
followed when they awake on the l4th
day of February and find ''stuck-up old

On the other hand theyouthful aspirants
for the affections of the fair sex worry
not a little about what kind of a token
of their esteem to send them. The store
windows this season have been stocked
with tasteful displays of sentimental
designs, while the small stores have
had strings of the comic varieties in
which every trade, calling or idiosycrasy
is parodied. Some of the pictures are
antique and have been gazed upon by
several generations.
