So. tempt Fails. a~

Certain members of the legislature
who are trying to pick up a little "pin
money! this winter have been much dis
turbed at the reluctance of corporations
to ''.give down. for the purpose of de-
feating bills which threaten their in.
terests. They are getting rather gdes-
perate, as the following incident will
show:
The legal representative Of big
public service corporation was, called
up Saturday on the telephones. The man
at the other end, who gave the name of
a member, reminded him Of a bill that
had been introduced, to regulate the
charges of the company.
That bill goes on general orders
Monday he announced, "and if you
don't get down here and look after
some Of the boys, we are, going to pass
it, ' -. = =
The conversation did not 90 any fur
Their. The corporation attorney broke
in with some very blunt and unfeel
ing remarks, giving the other to I'M
derstand that they could pass all the
bills they pleased, so far as he was con
cerned. They would not get red cent
from his company. ~
The natural supposition is that thu
bill will pass the house, where it now is
with the combined votes of those who
honestly think it is right and of those
who are sore at the penurious DISPOSE
tion of the corporation.

POPE DESIRES PEACE
Appeals to the Powers and to Greek
Church Dignitary.

London, March 20.-Advices received
here today show that the movement for
peace in the east is stronger than ever
before. Following the news that sew
eral of the cars ministers had urged
him to abandon the war, comes the re-
port that the latest advocate Of media
tion is the pope.
The Liverpool Post states that it has
learned, on the authority of promi-
nent members of the Vatican, that the
pope is seeking to influence European
diplomacy in favor of mediation. He
has communicated directly with certain
rulers, including the kaiser and King
Edward, and has also sent a friendly
letter to a high dignitary of the Greek
church, expressing the hope that peace
will be declared soon.
The Birmingham Post says it is in
formed by high deplomat that two
or three of the great powers, includ-
ing Great Britain, are considering a
proposal to convene an international
congress to end the Russo-Japanese con-
test and revise the rules of warfare.
Among the matters needing discussion
are questions relating to prisoners of
war and the expense of their mainte-
nance, -...'-. ...-.. ..-:

Remarkable Escapes.

One of the most remarkable escapes
from drowning on record was that of
q man whom a wave picked of from

Lundy Island, near the Devonshire
coast, England, and then returned to
his ship. But 1t was not so remark
able case as that which is suggested
by an epitaph said. still to exist in ia

Gladly, Esq, who died on the 22d Of
September. 1887. aged so. He was born
at Montpelier, In France. which place
he left for his religion and settled on
this island. where In the great earth
quake, 1872. he was swallowed up and,
BY the wonderful providence Of God,
by second shock was thrown out Into
the sea, where he continued swimming
until he was taken up by 4 boat ana
thus miraculously saved. He aftsr-
ward lived In great reputation and
