FRAME ORDER OF BUSINESS.
Four Matters. Among them the Crum
Nomination, Will DC Given After
ton by the Senate Before the
Christmas Recess.

Washington, December THE
Steering Committee of the Senate to-
day framed the order of business for
the Senate until the holiday recess.
-Four matters will be given attention
in this period. They are h Phillip
pine bill, on which the Senate today
agreed to vote December 1G. state
hood legislation, the OF
William D. Crum to be collector of the
Port of Charleston, S. c., and the ques-
ton of filling vacancies on Senate
committees.
No effort was made to outline j
programme for the session. or to pre-
JUDGE any other urgent business
which failed in the last session of Con-
gress or was advocated by the Presi-
dent in his message to Congress. AT
informal meetings of Senate eaders
several of these measures have been
discussed and the tacit understanding
reached that some Of them should be
kept in the back ground until late
in the session. Notably is this true
of the proposed legislation granting
the interstate commerce commission
supervision over railroad rates. 1t IS
expected that several appropriation
bills will be sent over from the House
before long and as usual in shor ses-
sions. of Congress, nothing OF dis
puted character will be allowed to
stand in their way. 1t is believed by
Senate leaders that there will be TO
substantial opposition to the state
hood bill in it's present form admit
ting Oklahoma and Indian Territory
as one state. Arizona and New Mexico
as one state.
The Crum nomination, which failed
of conirmatio in three sessions be-
| cause of the contest led by Senator
Tillman. doubtless will go through al
this session. II is said senator Til
man has conceded his inability to pre-
vent any longer the confirmation and
| will be content TO record his own vote
| in the negative when the matter
| comes I'D in executive session.
Great interest attaches to the COM
| mittee vacancies. The most important
| are the craftsmanship of the COMMITTEES
| on the judiciary. made vacant by the
| death OF Senator Hoar, and on inter
| oceanic canals, which has lot been
| filled since the death OF Senate
| Hanna. Senator Platt, of Connecti-
cut. is the ranking member of the
| committee on judiciary, and Senate:
| Platt. of New York, of the committee
| on in~ter-oceanic canals. Senator Kit
! fridge, who has been the most active
! member OF the canal committee since
! the vacancy. is urged for the chair
| manship. When the committee va
cancies are filed provisions Will be
! made for Senators Knox and Crane.

Letter to Rev. Father Thebault


st. Martinville
Rev. Sir: This story cuts two ways,
and teaches two sets of people.
Father Calvin, Westerly, r l,
had his church and residence pain
ted. Good job; and this is how he
went at it.
Measured all carefully - seems
to have known Devoe.
Then got bids from the painters,
paint to be supplied by them and
by him.
Saved $40 by using Devoe.
One of those painters ought to
have got that money.
Yours truly
