MEETING OF THE HOUSE.
After the Services Adjournment Taken
Until Tomorrow.

The meeting Of the House of Representa-
tives today was attended by the same at
mosphere of solenlnty that was so notice.
able yesterday when the death of Senator
Hanna was formally announced The House
met solely for the purpose of attending in
a body the funeral services in the Senate
chamber. The members attended not only
IN their representative capacity, but for
the time being the House was virtually in
session in the Senate, for no adjournment
or recess had been taken when the mem
bers of the lower branch of the national
leglsiature filed in pairs to the opposite emo
of the Capitol
1t was after returning from the Senate
ceremonies that Representative PAYNE
moved as further remark of respect to the
Iate senator the House adjourn until tomor-
row at II o clock.
Pursuant to the agreement of yesterday
the House met at II :45 o'clock this morn
ing After prayer by the chaplain and the
reading of the journal Speaker Cannon
made an informal statement in which he
suggested the order of procedure in attend
ing the funeral services. He said that in
the past on such occasions it had been the
practice for the sergeant-at-arms and clerk
to lead the way, followed by the Speaker,
the elective officers of the House and then
the members, these in turn to be followed
by the House employees and pages.
Speaker Cannon suggested that the MEM
bers proceed in pairs, form ng the line in
the area in front of the clerks table. The
aisles leading to this space were immediate
ly filled and no time was lost in giving the
word to march.
At the head of the procession were Ser
geant- Casson and Clerk Mcdowell.
Next walked Speaker Cannon alone. He
was followed by the doorkeeper, Mr.. Lyon,
and the postmaster, Mr.. McElroy.
Heading the column of representatives
were Representative Serene e. Payne, the
floor leader of the republicans and Repre-
sentative John Sharp Williams, the minor
ity leader. The precedent thus set was fol-
lowed pretty generally throughout the lne
a democratic member walking with a repub-
lican all differences for the time being hay-
ing disappeared in the general feeling of
grief.
The progress from the hall of the repre-
sentatives to the Senate chamber, through
statuary hail. the rotunda and past the
Supreme Court rooms was between a lane
of people, the public having been admitted
to the main portions of the building.
When the Representatives returned from
the Senate il was O'Clock. T he galleries,
which had been well filed during the morn
ing, were now deserted.
1t was but the matter of moment for
Mr.. Payne to make the motion to adjourn
and the chair to announce its adoption.
Many members sat for a long while at their
desks discussing the achievements of the
dead senator, paying tribute to his memory
and speculating as to who will rise up to
fill the gap thus created in the ranks OF
the nations great men.

THE OLD AGE OF sALvINI.

Salvini does not look or talk like an stout, and moves with slow power, but he has the bright eyes, the sensitive and sweet expression, the open and interest ed manner, the confidence and modesty of other days. Youth often stays late with men whose lives have been full and whose interests have been. He cares about things, and that makes him seem more like sixty than like seventy five He talks willingly about dramatic literature, and, although his knowledge
 of it is not extensive, his opinions have the weight and simplicity of his person. ality. He is very serious now, as he
 was when, a mere child, he used to ask for permission to go to bed on those nights when his fathers troupe hap pened to give comedy. No such per- mission was requested on the nights of tragedy.
 His spirit has been single in it's devo-
 ton through life, from before he made
 his first appearance at the age of four teen, in 1Sd2, with Honest Beppo," his father, down to the present day. Most
 great actors have spent their lives from early childhood on the stage, and Salvi- ni's intellectual horizon is that of one whose long experience has been focused
 on the theater. To have had a boyish l love for Ristori, to have had great
 success in tragedy at nineteen, to play
 superbly with his son at seventy-iive, te
 have fought with Mazzini and Garibal-
 di, to have been made a corporal for
 bravery, and now, in old age, to be SC

 of the day seem too few, and the be-
 loved freedom of nature the happiest re- source, is. perhaps to have lived as sat

MODERN STAINED dLAsswoRK.
 The twentieth century American stained glass maker follows important variation in the simple methods of the French monk of eight centuries ago. The first requisite is the design. The artist makes small water color sketch to show the general design and color scheme, accompanying it with detailed studies. From this twc large drawings or ''cartoons'' are made, the exact size of the desired window. One cartoon shows where the leads will be placed the thin strips of lead, hollowed on both sides and looking in a transverse section like the letter H, which form the framework to bind the pieces of glass together. Another drawing gives the size and shape of each piece of glass. This cartoon is cut into it's component pieces by a pair tor triplets) of three bladed scissors, which leave between their parallel blades space sufficient for the leads. These cut-out patterns are put together again on a large glass easel, to which they are attached by wax. and the spaces between are

 The easel Is then placed against a window where the light can stream through 1t. The artist or his substitute replaces each paper pattern on the easei by piece of glass of exactly the same size, cut from. sheet of glass of the color called for by the color sketch. The sketch is not followed exactly; expert. ment with the actual glass will suggest improvements. To a greater or less ex tent this stained glass is supplemented by painted glass, on which the colors are fred as in china painting. Wher all the pieces have been cut. they are transferred to the Heading" drawing. the flexible leads are twisted into shans and soldered at the joints, and a spccia cement applied to make the whole wafe, tight.

I am sure that you know you do. why do you not get it? There are reasons, and come from a city which cannot
 afford to cast any stones. Since the es-
 tabIishment of the Parker hospital in
 New York city in 1864 up to last year it
 was only by the hardest kind of work that any advancement was made in this
 direction in that state. This was owing
 to the fact that was difficult to get any money for this purpose. Now, how ever, conditions are being changed, and every borough will be properly provid- ed for in this respect in year or two.' Dr. Park gave three reasons why more hospitals for contagious disease patients were not being built. The first was on account of the expense; the sec- 1 ond. on account Of the unreasonable dread that the diseases will spread from the hospitals. and third, the fact l that property would depreciate in the vicinity of any place where these insti- l tutions are established. The speaker said that strange as it may seem dur | ing the last five years in New York city 1 in the vicinity of the contagious disease hospitals there were less cases of con- tagious diseases than in the other sec- 1 tions of the city. He gave a general de- ] scription of the way contagious diseases
 were treated in New York city.
 l Dr. Park also said that General Wood 1 by experiments which he had conducted in Cuba during the Spanish war; had l demonstrated the fact that yellow fever
 was not spread by air currents, but by
 mosquitoes.
 Professor Brewer, who followe pr
 Park, said among other things that this
 city needed contagious disease hospi-
 tai. and that the health conditions de-
 manded that one be built.

TO SUPPRESS DISEASE,
NEED OF CONTAGIOUS HOSPITAL
 DISCUSSED.

Dr. Park Tells of Their UsefuIness and tho Good They Accomplish Com tIatsons in Now York--professor Breyv- CT Says They Arc Needed in This city. {.
 In the place of the regular sermon at the United church last evening pr. Will liam H. Park, professor of bacteriology and hygiene in the University Medical college of the city of New York, deliy- cred an address on the subject 'Isola- fion Hospitals for Contagious Diseases. " Professor Brewer of Yale also followed with a talk on the same subject. The lectures were delivered under the direc- tion of the mems club of the church. There was a good attendance, consider ing the stormy weather and both the talks were thoroughly appreciated by those present.
 Dr. Park started his lecture by say- ing that he proposed to divide his sub feet into two parts, first discussing the needs of contagious hospitals for the i'll, and secondly as a protection for the welt. He then cited cases where people had been suddenly stricken with a con tagious disease while travelling. They have been put off the train in some little town where there are no facilities for attending to the malady, and not only the patient placed in serious danger, but the general public as well.
 The speaker next spoke of the difficult ty that is often encountered in securing suitable nurses to care for conta gious eases in as much as they were not only , exposed to the danger, but if they con tracted the disease their employers would not in most cases care to have them remain until they were cured
 Then, again, as another example, he said that where contagious diseases oc- cured in a military school or academy in nearly every case 1t would be neces- sary to close them, and then of course the parents would want the sufferers brought home for treatment. Here again. occurred a great danger in as much as they were apt to spread the disease while being conducted to theil homes.
 Another danger which has to be me with where there are no contagious dis ease hospital is where the patients art allowed out of the house before they art thoroughly we'll

WHAT WILL BRYAN Do
IF JUDGE PARKER IS NOMI-
MATED?
He Says He Does Not Know Be
cause He Cannot Find Out
What Parker Will Do
If Elected.

New York, March 26.-William
J. Bryan was in town to-day. Asked
what attitude he would take in the
event of Judge Parker being nomi-
mated at ST. Louis, he said:
cit is impossible for me to say
now, for the simple reason that / do
not know where Judge Parker
stands and what he stands for. [
may tell you that I have for some
time been endeavOring to find out
how Judge Parker stands on some
of the more important questions now
before the Democratic party, but
I am as much in the dark as | ever
was"
Upon a suggestion that Judge Par
ker, in view of his place on the
bench, had not the same latitude as
other candidates might have to talk
of political issues, Mr.. Bryan init
mated that no person who was so
placed that he could not make
known his views on important mat
ters to the voters ought to allow
himself to be brought forward as a
possible candidate for president.
"One very important matter upon
which [ would like to hear from
Judge Parker,' Mr.. Bryan added,
s'is as TO the stand he would take,
supposing he were elected, in the
appointment Of justices of the su-
preme court-Whether he would ap-
point such men to the supreme court
bench as did President Cleveland, or
whether he would appoint men who
could be depended upon not to favor
the trusts. The advocacy of Judge
Parker by Mr.. Hill is not very as
suring on the point, and thus far at
tempts to discover Mr.. Parker's own
views have failed"
Mr.. Bryan said he was in favor Of
a State sending an instructed delega-
tion to the national convention for
the reason that the delegates were
supposed to represent the wishes of
the voters as a whole. Mr.. Bryan
went to New Haven tonight.
