NEW YORK STILL OPEN TOWN.

New York. Jan. s.--Despite yestcr- days action of the police in warning the saloon proprietors of the city that the Sunday closing law must be ob- served today, the Raines law hotels did business as usual throughout the day and saloons were also open
 The only noticeable difference was that the outposts at the side entrances to the saloons were tdotbled. and more care was exercised in admitting cus- somers. The police made but few ar- rests for violation of the excise law, and many of the prisoners were dis- charged after arraignment In the police courts.
 When District Attorney Jerome was asked why the police warning had not been needed. he said:

rIfT1 sENATE.

Washington, Jan. s.--The joint state hood bill will continue to be the prin- cipsl topic of discussion In the Senate during the present week, but other matters will receive attention each day during the morning hour. including the omnibus claims bills, for which Senator Warren stands sponsor. The bill comprises more than 200 pages. but the senator already has succeeded in having it read by utilizing odd hours. and thus has put a large md important part of the work Of consideration tc the rear.
 There will be an effort made t0 get through the bill providing for the com pcnsation of American fishermen whoas vessels were seized previous to tho ar bitration treaty of 1893. This matter is in the hands of Senator Fulton. who will press 1t as an act of justice to men who he thinks have been discriminated against

Pure Food BIIl,

The pure food bill will remain in the background for the present, mot be- cause the friends of that matter have abandoned 1t. but because they consider that it's chances will be improved by not pressing for immediate consideTa- tion.
 Discussion of tho Statehood question will begin Monday with q speech by. Senator Morgan and he will be fol- lowed by other opposing senators The present plan of the opposition Is to keep the discussion going until some of the appropriation bills are reported and it becomes necessary to take them up or If. this is postponed too long, to displace the bill with the pure food bill. Failing in all these expedienfs they probably will seek a compro- mise.
 The only real fight Is against the uniting of Arizona and New Mexico. and there is talk of eliminating these territories entirely from the statehood proposition. It Is believed if this were done, the bill for the consideration of Oklahoma and Indian Territory will be passed.
 Thus far there has been no confer. ence of opposing factions on thu sub 1ect, and probably there will be little done to change the present status so long as the leaders are anxious to keen other matters in the back grotind. as appears to be the case at present

Traeaas Baek . Common sayin9.
II II q curious bit Of literary exercise
to take a common saying and trace II
back to IN origin. Take the common
saying. for instance. "Aii that glltters
10 not gold" II 10 found In current
literature everywhere and In a dozen
different forms. Dryden renders Il.
IAN. as they say. that giitters 10 not
gold" spenser says "Gold all 10 not
that doth golden SEEM" Lydgate has
the same idea In the words, "All ls
not gold that outward sheweth bright"
Chaucer expresses II In somewhat diff
ferent phraseology. Middleton has II.
"All 10 not gold that glisteneth." and
Shakespeare says, "All that glistens 10
not gold" Go a llttle farther back,
however. and the Same expression is
found is the monkish collection Of
proverbs. and there Is no doubt II a
classical scholar were to set TO work
with the determination to hunt the
proverb down, no matter how long II
took, he would Hnd II In Latin. Greek
and most other ancient and dead Ian
guagcs. II Is natural outgrowth OF
sarcasm as applied to fictitious show
and Ia no doubt as old as the science
Of metal working.

COMMITTEE OF FIFTEEN
WILL MEET SATURDAY
No One Pretends 60 Guess Outcome Of
Consideration of Religious
Education Question.

DIR. Merrill E. Gates, chairman OF the
committee OF fifteen appointed by ex-
Secretary Herbert TO consider the reso-
Iutions of DR. McKim and decide on
other matters before the conference Of
citizens, held at the New Willard Hotel
last Monday, to consider the introduc-
tion of religious education IN the public
schools, has issued a cail 10 the commit
tee for meeting next Saturday at 9
o'clock, in parlor No. OF the Shoreham
Hotel. All members OF the committee
have Signified their intention to lie
present.
What the outcome OF this meeting will
be no one OF the committee pretends TO
guess but it IS quite likely that they
will come to some kind OF agreement
The greatest divergence Of opinion to
the majority Of the general conference
last Wednesday came from the Seventh
Day Adventists, the Jews. and possibly
the Roman Catholics. The Roman Cath
oiics said little. but it Is thought that by
counSeIing delay they have entered a
silent plea against the movement
The Seventh Day Adyentists and the
Fabbis so far, have held to the opinion
that the church and home. and not the
school, are the places to teach religion.
The committee meeting Will be con-
Quoted along liberal lines There will
be, nrsI, the fullest comparison OF
views When the committee OF fifteen
has come TO a decision II will report 70
