OBSTRUCTIVE TACTICS.
Democrats Delay Advancement of Bill
to Improve Currency Conditions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Discus-
sion of the bill to Improve currency
conditions was resumed in the House
to-day. but throughout the session it's
advancement was beset with obstruc-
tive tactics by the Democrats. led by
Williams of Mississippi, the minority
leader. The Democrats mustered suf-
ficient strength to force Speaker Cam
non to break a tie in order that the
bill might be taken up, the Demo-
Gratis assuming their attitude of an
tagonism because Hill of Connecticut,
in charge of the bill, refused to allow
it's further consideration in conse-
quence of the illness of Bartlett of
Georgia, leader Of the opposition.

VICTORY FOR THE SOUTH.
Bill to Reduce Representation Will Be
Reported Unfavorably.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Reduc-
ton of the Southern representation in
Congress, either through the Platt or
Morrell bill, Is highly improbable.
The House Committee on Election Of
President, Vice President and Repre-
sentatives will soon render a report
unfavorable to the reduction idea.
The committee is now swayed by the
idea that the disfranchisement evil will
correct itself In time and that any
legislation now would give results
which future conditions will render
unnecessary. The remedy is looked
for in increased immigration to the
Southern States, with the result that
the white population will be so
strengthened that its votes will always
be in a majority.

chagriued and humiliated because they
have not been able 10 get up in the

the reason that they succumbed to the
scheme OF some smooth promoter who
hypnotized them into the belief that
they could make a great deal very
quickly out OF IA very little.
The great fever of trying TO make a
dollar earn IS is growing more and
more contagious. We see even women
secretly going into brokers' Offices and

they have in all sorts OF schemes,
drawing their deposits out Of the
banks, sometimes pawning their Jew

and borrowing, hoping to make lot OF
money before their husbands or fami-
lies find it out and then to surprise
them with the results, but in most
cases what they invest is hOpelessly

MARKETING FOR THE SEA COW.
II Is Necessary Now to Cut Through
Ice to Get at the Eel Grass.

The man who does the marketing
for the Aquarium sea COW has had to
do some lively hustling this winter to
keep that big animal supplied with
food.
The sea COW is eight foot long,
weighs 500 pounds, and has healthy
appetite. In the first eighteen weeks
after its arrival here from Florida, on
Sept last, it ate ninety bushels OF
eel grass, six bushels of fennel-leafed
pond weed and two bushels of ulva,
or sea lettuce, making ninety.eight
bushels of aquatic plants in all in
eighteen weeks, or an average of
about five and one-half bushels a
week, which is about its present rate
of consumption.
The eel grass and other things for
the sea cows table are gathered in
Grayesend Bay or the waters there
with connected. Baymen say that the
present has been the hardest winter
hereabouts on the water in twenty-five
wears. On many days it has been nee
essary to cut through the Ice to get

Fifty Million Dolars-N1ies of Wonder

IL Is new q little more than two

the public will be invited to see the
greatest exposition that has ever been

the air becomes balmy with the

take on far greater activity than 1t

construction of the Worlds Fair for
more than day or two at time and
there is every expectation and prom

acres are given up to outdoor displays

manner the hundreds of thousands Of
indoor exhibits. At the Chicago EX-
position one building was used for
no less than three important depart

five acres, are given up to the same
four departments.
The total cost of the Worlds Fair
is estimated at from forty to fifty
million dollars, exclusive of the value
of the exhibits. The Palace of Ma

the value of eight million dollars.

Sometimes when the ice had moved
out with shift of the wind, leaving
open spaces, access to the eel grass

would be necessary to cut holes in it

How the Starflsh Feeds.

A starfish can neither see nor hear.
Neither has it the sense of smell. In
spite of those seeming impediments.
nevertheless, 1t seeks and devours its
prey as neatly as an ordinary fish, The
starfish lies upon its prey and folds
its arms or rays completely about
it, Then it pushes its stomach out
through its mouth and will wrap even
large oyster and shell within the
folds of the stomach. The mouth of
the startish is in the center OF its
rays.
