Atlanta, Aug. 1.-The House COM
mittee on General Agriculture tonight
killed the immigration bill by vote
of II to >. There was no discussion
except among the committee mem
bers a hearing having been given a
week ago
The amendments We're voted down
after one brief discussion. One of
amendments proposed to strike out
of the bill the words particularly
Americans" so that there would be
opportunity under its provisions to
encourage the committee to get a de-
srable class of foreigners.
Mr.. Stovall urged the adoption of
this amendment calling attention to
the Salzbergers of Efingham county,
. tha Bonnie scots of Mcintosh, and
the good Irish citizens, which Geor-
gia has in country and city.
What StOVaiI wanted Done.
Either have an immigration de-
partment that viii be worth something
to the state. or kill the bill altogether"
Mr.. Stovall said.
The committee took the latter part
of Mr. Stovalrs advice. The amend
ment was voted down and the bill
was quickly reported unfavorably one
Of the principal reasons for opposition
to the measure appears to have been
from the argument that it would have
chiefly benefited the railroads and the
manufacturing interests.
The bill had already passed the Sen

the proposition to give the state Board
of Health $4,000 to fight smallpox,
hoopWorm and other contagious and
infectious diseases, and the amendment
went over until tomorrow.
The summer school appropriation of
$4,000 was made without serious OPP
position. This is the first time this
appropriation has been given. The
summer school heretofore having been
supported from other sources. This
school is for the benefit of white school
teachers
The House agreed, without protest,
to the amendment to the bill appro-
priating a total of $3,0S3.17 for the ex
penses of the Han legislative investi-
eating committee. This completed the
bill, with the exception of the State
Board of Health item, and il was then
reported in the House by the Commit
tee of the Whole. 1t will be finally
acted on tomorrow morning the first
thing after reading the journal.

Atlanta, Aug. 1.-The Senate to-day
passed the Australian ballot bill by a
bare constitutional majority, the vote
being 20 to 6.
1t was passed only after it was
amended so that each county in the
state shall have the right to say, by
a majority vote of it's people,
whether or not it shall become a law
within it's borders.
The Australian ballot is thus mad
purely a question of local option. The
amendment provides that each county
in the state shall vote at the coming
October election on the question as TO
whether it desires rae bill to become
law in it's borde.s.
If a majority vote for the bill. it
becomes a law. in that county, if a
majority vote against it, then the
county may use such election system
as it desires.
May Change Their Minds.
Following this, any county I'm the
state may vote on the system again
at any subsequent election on the
recommendation of two successive
grand juries. This is the only amend
ment of any consequence that was
made to the bill. one or two others
being passed TO perfect it in technical
details.
The bill was to have been voted on
tomorrow, as a special order, but on
motion it was taken UP to-day. There
is little doubt that the House will
agree to the Senate amendment when
the bill comes back for concurrence in
amendment.
May Go To 81. Louis.

sHEPHERDSTOWN W. VA. THURSDAY DECEMBER 1. 1904.

The planchets are now taken to the
coming press, which has round hole
in the center Of bed of hard steel
large enough to admit the planchet.
There is a hard steel die at the
bottom of this hole, on which are en-
graved the inscriptions and figures
which are on one side of the coin, and
movable die Just above the hole has
those which go on the other side.
Around the edges on the hole are lit
tie notches like the teeth of saw.
When the pressure comes on the
plancbet, it will spread out into them
and make the "reeding, as it is called,
or little notchea which are seen on
every coin. If it were not for these
it would be quite easy to file little
gold, or silver off the edge OF any
coins and soon make them below the
proper weight.
The upper die of the coming press.
when put in motion, slowly descends
into the opening in which the planchet
has been laid, and presses upon it
with pressure of two hundred and
seventy-fve tons weight. In a mo-
ment the plate Of metal, much softer
than the steel of the hardened dies,
becomes a perfect coin. After being
washed in weak acid, to remove the
stains of the various operations, the
coins are complete and ready for cir
culations.
The floors in the mint are covered
with iron grstings, so arranged as to
catch the gold dust which may fall
on the floor. All the sweepings Of
the floor and every article that can
catch any gold dust are saved and
burned, and the gold dust then re-
moved from the ashes by chemical
process. The amount of gold saved
in this way in the Philadelphia mint
amounts to over twenty thousand dol
lars in a year.

How He Fools His Hens.

Timothy Varney, who lives three
miles east of lie Sueur and keeps about
200 hens, has been greatly troubled,
as have most people who keep hens'
by the persistent desire manifested by
the towels to set, in season aDi out,
on eggs, stones or door-knobs or any
thing else that comes handy. But he
has got hold of a pIau now which he
has quietly tried this season with per-
feet success, and which be warrants
will cure the worst Light Brahms
cluck that ever vexed the heart Of
man of all desire to sit, aud all in less
than three hous.
The cure consists Of q cheap watch
with loud and clear tick to it, in
closed in a case that is white and
shaped like an egg. When = hen
manifests a desire to set out Of season
he gently places this bogus egg under
her sheltering breast and the egg does
the rest. 1t ticks creerfully away
and soon the hen begins to show signs
of uneasiness and stirs the noisy egg
around with her bill, thinking, per-
haps, that it is already time for it to
hatch and there is chicken in it
wanting to get out. She grows more
and more nervous as the noise keeps
up, and soon jumps off the nest and
runs around awhile to cool off, but
returns again to her self-imposed duty.
1t gets worse and worse with her, and
she wiggles about and cackles, rufies
her feathers and looks wild, until at
last, with a frenzied Iquawk, che
abandons the nest for good and all.
That incubating feaver is broken up
completely.
Mr.. Varney finds use for half a
dozen Of these noisy eggs, and claims
that they pay for their cost over and
over during the year by keeping the
hens at the business of laying and not
permitting them to waste the golden
hours in useless inoubating.
