SENATOR CULLoM FAvoRs PAS
SAGE OF EscH RATE BILL BY
PRESENT CONGRESS.
OBJECTS TO AN EXTRA SESSION
BELIEVES JUDGMENT OF LOWER
HOUSE SHOULD BE TAKEN
IN THIS INSTANCE.

Washington, Feb. S.-Senator Cul
lom, formerly chairman of the senate
committee on interstate commerce
favors the passage of the Esch-Town
send bill for the regulation of Sailroad
rates and said that time does not re-
main for satisfactory amendment in
the senate at the present session and
that it is better to take the judgment
OF the house than to call congress back
for an extra session to enact railroad
legislation.
He said he is not ready to declare
the bill perfect, but as the house has
given the question thorough considera
ton and as the senate will not have
time to revise the measure it should
be given to the country for trial.

RATE BILL DISCUSSED.
House Devotes Entire Day to the
Measure.

Washington, Feb S.-The house con-
yened one hour earlier than usual, the
= exclusive business for the day being
debate upon the bill regulating freight
rates. Mr. Richardson (Ala.) contin-
ued his speech begun the previous day.
He discussed the legal points in
volved. 1t WAS, he said, in the federal
courts that the railroads got their pro
lection. The special court proposed
by the Townsend bill he characterized
as a fifth wheel in the judicial wagon,
with no necessity for it except to en-
barrass the movement for equalizing
rates.
Mr. Richardson denied that the
Dayey bill embodied any Of the pro
visions of the so-called Hearst bill.
Mr.. Stevens (Minn.) threw the brunt
of the responsibility for the present
condition OF affairs principally upon
the railroad directors, who, he said,
did not seem to realize their relation
to the public, but had only the one
thought in mind Of a sufficient finan-
cial return for the interests they rep
resented. The traffic managers, he de-
clared were obliged to earn the utmost
out Of their properties in order to hold
their positions. He would support the
Townsend BILL but he anticipated it
would not afford much help to the
shipper in its present form.

ENGLISH FLOWER GARDENS.
Until Parkiuson's Time Flowers Re-
 ceived Little Attention.

Edmund Gosse writes delightfully."- about the first English flower gardens in Harper's Magazine and of the pc culiar ideas of those early gardeners:
 'The first man who defended the flower garden as having an independ- ent right to exist was John Parkinson. Until his time everybody had made ex- cuses for the cultivation of flowers, as if they were an agreeable but friyo- lous addition to the serious business of fruit trees, medicinal herbs and kitch- ell produce. Parkinson, who was born in 1567, was an apothecary by trade, and he had garden in Long Acre, where nothing greener or fresher than coachbuilders' showrooms Is cultivated now. He was the earliest to lay down that there were four kinds of horticul- tural enclosures, namely, of pleasant and delightful flowers, of kitchen herbs and roots, of slmples and of fruit trees, and that the first of these must be held to be no less honorable than the others. He probably had a con siderable share In getting the dellber- ate flower garden introduced, perhaps about 1895. and he was much interest ed In Its forms and definition. A great deal of thought had to be expended upon bordering. It was usual to edge the grass plots with thrift, and when flowers were first grown in open beds germander was used to border them. I his was little shrub, Teucrium, from the rocky shores of the Mediterranean, with grayish-yiolet blossoms, It could be trained to make a dwarf hedge, and 1t had pleasant faint scent. German der, however, soon went out of fash lon, because 1t was found difficult to keep 1t neat and trim. Great value was then set on strongly perfumed plants, such as lavender, marjorum. thyme and sage for borderings. But when Parkinson wrote his Paradisus in Sole, generation later, the latest Invention for edging was white or bluIsh pebbles set up in lines"

that night, but when We were walking on the previous evening.
 T looked back, and instead of dodg- ing as before, the man came on almost at full run for couple of yards. He had revolver in his hand. I had hardly time to pull my own, when he stopped short and fired. With a shriek, Miss Payne fell to the ground La salle, for 1t was he, turned and dashed away in the darkness. I was burning with rage, and forgetting Miss Payne for the moment, sprang after him. l fired at him once, and thought I must have missed him, as he continued run ming.
 II do not know how long we ran, but cries and footballs, which had sounded distantly behind me, were growing more and more distinct. La salle doubled corner on me, and, turn ing the same corner, my foot struck an obstruction and 1 went flying on my face. I lay stunned for a few mo- Ai'iN'1 &Ns IOSt tO lily lttt, hdLtu, rough hands were laid on me and was dragged back to where Miss Payne was lying. By this time had recover ed my senses fully. I broke from my captors and knelt down beside her. One look was sufficient.
 My God" I cried, she is deadr
 "'Yes,' said rough voice behind me, and you're the man that killed her"
 Then I realized the horror of my position. The shots fired had alarmed the crowd of miners, who poured out of the different saloons to see woman lying dead on the ground and man running away.
 My protests were of no avail, as circumstances were against me. I was searched and my revolver was found in my pocket where I had thrust 1t when running. Two cartridges were empty. Two shots had been fired No explanation would have any weight in the face of such evidence. Some of the rougher element were for hanging me on the spot, but wiser counsel pre- vailed and I was locked up for the night.
 "In the morning I was tried before a local magistrate. Now that Miss Payne was dead, knew that divulging her story would,do no harm, and might perhaps save my life; so told It. It had no effect however on the minds of a prejudiced jury, especially as no man namely Lasalle was known in the town. It was evident Lasalle had an alias.

No Reason for Two Trips.

Patrick's wife was "ailing" and Patrick put on his Sunday best and walked four miles to the doctors house to tell him about her.
 "Now," said the doctor, when he had beard all Patrick had to say, and had prepared some medicine, "here is something for your wife. I've writ. ten the directions on the bottle, and want her to try 1t faithfully for fortnight. Then, If 1t doesn't relieve her, come to me again. and I will give you another prescription"
 Now, docther, see here," said Pat. rick, standing straight and looking grimly at the physician. If you have your doubts O this curln' Mary, as it's ivident you have by the way you spake, why don't you give me first what you're goin' to give me last?"

 "Ill tell you," he answered with a i deep sigh, as he turned and led the
 way to a rustic bench which was | screened from the view of passers-by i by a row of tall box-wood. After we
 had seated ourselves Darlington con- , tinued:

 was refined and well-educated young
 woman, with one of those sad. sweet faces We sometimes see In pictures and once in while meet with in reali- ty. She seemed to avoid the society of men, and it was only on a few occa- sions that she allowed me to escort her from the theater to her hotel. And think she only permitted 1t then be- cause the weather was stormy and had an umbrella, while she had left hers at the hotel.
 We had played for a few months on the Western circuit and at last struck Leadyille. We were to play three nights here. On Monday night before we left the theater Miss Payne stopped me on my way to my dress ! ing room. I noticed she was consider ably agitated.
 MT. Darlington she said, will you kindly escort me to the hotel tonight? T replied that 1t would afford me , the greatest pleasure to do so.

 It's intensity, and she burst into tears. Her form trembled and had to SUD-

 By this time she had ceased weeping, and asked me to step into the parlor. There were no occupants other than ourselves.

New light on the efficiency of the American law for the restriction of i'm migration was shed by the debate on the aliens bill in the British House of Commons the other day. The premier in defending the bill, said that Great Britain had become a sort of sieve through which emigrants entered America The fit got through and the unfit remained in the British Isles This applies, of course, only to those who sail from British ports. When Great Britain joins with the United States in prohibiting the entrance of undesirable immigrants 1t will not be so easy for the countries of continen- tai Europe to dump their incompetents beyond their own boundaries.

 q Was greatly surprised. as I had always been under the impression that she was single woman. Moreover, l knew she had come from the east somewhere, and this declarati ton, that q man haunting our footsteps in far Western town was her husband. was rather startling.
 Then she told me her story. It was the old tale of a deceived woman and q human brute. Her parents had sent her to a Canadian convent to be edu- cated, and while there she had some how or other in her daily walks made the acquaintance of dashing French Canadian named Armand Lasalle. She was fascinated by his handsome ap- pearance. and eloped with him. Her family were greatly incensed and re- fused to recognize her. It was not long before Lasalle began to show his true nature, and treat her so brutally that she was forced to leave him. After bitter quarrel, in which he swore to have her life, she fed from him.
 "She was too proud to look to her family for assistance. Knowing she had dramatic talent, she went upon the stage. Starting modestly, she had worked her way to her present posi- ton. She had never heard anything from Lasalle since the day she had left him until that night, when she was nearly overcome by seeing him leering at her from front seat, while she was going through her last scene. That was the reason she had asked me to see her to her hotel. She asked me to keep this story secret. I prom ised this and assured her of my pro- lection should Lasalle venture to make any trouble. I cautioned her to keep in her room all the next day.
 "The next evening before calling for Miss Payne to take her to the theater, l examined my revolver to see if 1t was all right. While doing so, 1t slip ped from my hand and fell to the floor. A report followed and bullet buried itself i'll the door I expected every moment rush of people into my room to see what was the matter When this did not occur, I concluded the shot had not been heard on account of the noisy laughter in the street, where crowd was watching drunk en miner trying to mount a bucking broncho.

A Charm that Failed.

Major r. H. G. Powell Cotton had some unique experiences during his twenty months of travel In little known districts in Africa. In telling of the superstition of the natives he says Among the weeks washing I had given my boy vest, which when the other things came back was missing He made some excuse about mending it, and thought no more of the mat. ter till in the early morning I happen ed to catch sight of two of my men bringing 1t back from the direction of a Swahill traders camp. Some time afterward I learned that tne trader was regarded as great worker of charms. The vest had been taken to him, and he had been asked to cast such a spell over 1t that when 1t next touched my skin any desire I might harbor of going far afield would melt away. When the charm was of no ef. feet the explanation given by my men was that before leaving England I had acquired witchcraft potent enougu to render their magic powerless."

He had most engaging per sonaity, and there was always notice able in his demeanor a sort of gentle sadness. quiet melancholy, that was hardly in keeping with his real good nature.

There was something In his manner, however, rwhich checked my levity. and I re- marked, rather more seriously. that on this occasion 1 waived all objection. To the cemetery, then, we turned our steps. Darlington was silent until we had passed the gates, when he said:

 We walked on in silence for few rods. when my companion made a de- tour from the main path. I followed him and soon stood before a small, neat lot, which had a single grave in the center. The grave was marked by a small granite stone, which bore this inscription:

Some Object Lessons.

A Massachusetts clergyman stood before his congregation with a dog be side him and talked on the subject of kindness to animals. The innovation made strong impression, but there is no doubt that 1t opens up somewhat dangerous precedent. Will the next Massachusetts clergyman who inveighs against horse racing find it necessary to use a live horse for an object les. son? Or If he discusses on the dangers that surround the devoted missionary in oriental lands, will he feel obliged to illustrate his theme with the tiger of the jungle and the elephant of the foothills?
