The reference to pooling pro-
voked hearty laugh from Aid
rich, but when the recommenda-
ton for prompt action on the
free alcohol bill was read there
was a great explosion of mirth.
Mr.. kean threw back his head in
sheer enjoyment, and Mr.. Aid
rich grew red with laughter
Messrs. Foraker. Lodge, Burrows,
Scott and Wetmore joined in the
chorus.
Whatever apprehension was
felt at the outset regarding the
teeth in the message was quickly
dispelled, and at the conclusion
of the reading of the document
the senate was in rare good humor.
Senator Foraker moved that
the message be printed and laid
on the table, the parliamentary
method of shelving a measure.
Noticing that only part of the
Garfield report had been submit
ted, Senator Culbertson, of Texas,
hastily wrote with a pencil reso-
luton calling for the full docu-
ment. This resolution was
adopted"
The president of the United
Sta es sends to the senate a re-
port showing that gigantic trust
conspiring with the railroads has
repeatedly and persistently vio-
lated the law. He accompanies
that report with a message invit-
ing serious attention to this de
plorsble condition. And, ac-
cording to this republican paper,

SENATORS LAUGHED AND SNEERED.

The New York Press is arepub-
lican paper. 1t can not be said
to be prejudiced against the repub-
lican senate. From the pen of its
Washington correspondent The
Press prints this description Of the
manner in which Mr., Roosevelt's 5
message relating to the Standard
Oil was received in the American
House of Lords:
What the American people
have to expect in the regulation
OF the trusts was disclosed today
in congress when the president
sent to the senate and the house
the report of the bureau OF cor
porations, showing that the Stand
ard Oil corporation not only vio-
lates the law, but is partner with
many railroad corporations in
preventing competition and rails
ing prices of all Standard Oil pro-
ducts Throughout the country.
The report OF the bureau of cor
porations was accompanied by
strong message from the presi.
dent. In the house of represen
tatives the closest attention was
paid to the reading of the message
and the report, and there was
generous applause which proved
that party lines were broken.
The situation in the senate sug
gested plainly that there would

paign. Not two-thirds of the
senators had the courtesy TO
listen to the message. Many of
the pronounced corporation sena-
tors were in their seats, and as
the reading progressed, cracked
Jokes or sneered audibly at the
expression of Mr.. Roosevelt.
1T may be said, moderately,
that the presidents message had
no effect upon the men that con-
troll the senate. Several of them
regarded it with contempt and a
few of them insisted that the pres
ident was beginning his cam
paign for another term. 1t was
clear to old observers OF the sen
ate that the message had no spec
ial effect and would not accom-
plish any practical result.
Senator Kean of New Jersey
snickered audibly at the announce
ment that the Standard Oil trust

quarters of million a year from

CHRISTMAS EVE SCENE IN PARIS

They drove to the Madeleine through streets already full of the life and movement of hurrying crowds, dart ing figures now plunged in the black shadows, and now slipping out into the full glare of the clustered lights. The big perspective of the Place de la Concorde, thickly sown with lamps was shot through with glistening re- fiections from the tops Of carriages, the arcade of the Rue de Rivoli was brilliant as stage setting, the hotels in the broad Rue Royale were abaze with light, and far at the end of the street, where the lofty portice of the Madeleine showed clear against the starry sky, a hundred sparks twinkled from the cabs fitting along the boule- yard. The steady roll of wheels merged with the varying notes of horns in motors and the sound of talk and laughter from the sidewalks, and all blended in a great humming sym phony, struck through with the rat ting, syncopated clack-clack of hoofs upon the asphalt, like the staccati of sharp drums.
 The crowd at the Madeleine was al- most impossible, but somehow they gained the steps, the vestibule, and were swept in the solid pack of men and women through the door at the right. The great floor was filled with a throng as varied as Paris itself. Piety and the idlest curiosity, youth and age came together. As the procession came in sight, it's song was joined by the organ in the sanctuary, and the music rose louder and fuller in a single godlike voice ringing down from the dazzling altar. Suddenly, like artillery the great organ overhead crashed out in volume of sound that flooded the whole vast interior like wave, sweep ing over the heads of the kneeling crowd and mounting to the shadowy arches of the roof. The very concus- sion took the listeners breath away and in the recoil men and women burst into tears, and pillows of emo tional excitement rolled back and forth through the church. Scribner's.

HOW sHARKs FINp cARR1oN.

HOW SHARKS FIND CARRION.
 It is curious thing, and, so far as present knowledge. goes, quite inexpn- cable, how a shark seems to have an unerring perception of the presence of carrion. By virtue of what sense does he know that at distance of perhaps a couple of miles there is food to be had for the picking up? It can hardly be sight, and to say that it is the sense of smell presupposes an olfactory ap- paratus of such marvellous delicacy that one good whiff from an average 'harness-cask' would surely burst the machinery for good and all; and yet our shark will bolt a goodly lump of the gamiest salt pork without so much as a wink. No, it cannot be his nose which leads him.
 Now theory has been put forward by naturalists that the shark possesses, in common with the Andes condor, a special sense, or instinct which is de- nied to cleaner, feeding animals. The naturalist cannot explain this sense; confesses, in fact, that he knows noth- | ing about 1t; but he can give it name He calls it the ''carrion sense," and with that name, which, of course, ex- plains nothing at all, expects us to be satisfied. .-Pearson's Magazine.

ELKs IN CIRCLE DANCE,

Remarkable Exercise in Which Bands
 of the Animals Take Part.
 But the grand curious amusement of the elk, one which many hunters have witnessed, may be called their circle dance MT. H. w. Skinner of Chi cago sends me his observations on this performance:
 About o'clock one afternoon late in August, 1890, I was riding northeast up small stream flowing into one of the tributaries of the Green River, near it's source in northwestern Wyom- ing. The intense heat was only re- lieved by an occasional faint breath of breeze from the north. My attention was attarcted by column of fine, dark brown dust rising ahead of me and on the opposite side of the creek q was on the south side)
 "'The column of dust looked almost as if caused by a, whirlwind. On reach ing point as close to it as I could get without crossing the creek-I was per- haps one hundred yards from it-I found that it was caused by a band of elk numbering from twelve to twenty who seemed to be trotting quite rapid- ly with occasional awkward galloping plunges in a circle perhaps thirty feet in diameter They were going in the same direction as the hands of watch in the edge of a little belt of second- growth timber mainly, think, quak- ing asp.
 They were moving, not with heads up, but with noses only a foot or two from the ground. My impression is that they were all bulls. Owing to the dense clouds of dust which occasional light puffs of wind blew almost toward me, 1 could not see very clearly. It seemed to me that they were running about as milling" cattle do, except that I never knew of cattle to mill" fin such a small bunch. l have related this incident several times to hunters and trappers, who could offer no ex- planation of it. There were large num- bers of elk in that country at the time in bands of various sizes"
 This remarkable exercise has no ob- vious relation to the sexual instinct or to hygiene, and marks several import ant steps in the evolution of anus ment. If to it we could add a little music we should have the essentials of Ssocial dancing.-Ernest Thompson Seton in Sribner's Magazine.

CAPTAIN BATCHELoR's
 MAND.


 Tt was just six years ago to-day" said Dr. Joseph Milton Heller, late ma- jor and surgeon, United States volun- teers. at the shoreham, that the la mented Captain Joseph B. Batchelor, United States army commanding a battalion of the Twenty-fourth lnfan- try, completed what is generally conce- ded to be the most remarkable and hazardous expedition that took place during the Philippine insurrection, and one of which, by combination of un- fortunate circumstances, the American people know little or nothing.
 Captain Batchelor. North Caroli- nian, and hero, if ever one lived, with three hundred and fifty colored troop CTS, a brave and splendidly disciplined little band, marched and fought their way over a distance of three hundred and ten miles in one month. The route was over roads so difficult as to be all most impossible. They did not really deserve thezfaFne of roads. but were rather trails, through which our men plodded, sinking up to their knees in mud. The expedition was chasing that willy scamp, the famed Aguinaldo through the northern and central DOT tions of Luzon toward the China Sea.
 T never saw men show truer courage than Batchelors men did on this me morable march. With cheerful spirit they bore. fatigue, scant rations, and tattered clothes (many without shoes) every man displaying the gallantry of their noble leader pushing into an un- known country, with no definite Idea of the force they might have to op- pose. I brief, this band of three hun dred and fifty lnsufflciently clothed men, marched without guides into a strange region, through chilling nights and sweltering days, made one hun dred and twenty-three deep lords crossed precipitous mountains whert the daily average of ascent and descent was not less than eight thousand feet; ferried twice, and ance forced pas. sage over an unfordable stream: lived three weeks on unaccustomed and in- sufficient food: twice drove the enemy from strong positions; killed, wounded and captured many natives; turned over to the United States in one month three provinces; liberated more thar four hundred prisoners; forced the sur render of the general commanding all the insurecto forces in It's front, and made the people of these three rlct provinces in Luzon enthusiastic advo. cates of American supremacy
 No other single command in the Philippines ever went through such hardships or accomplished so much as these negro soldiers of Batchelor, and no officer ever received so little credit The untimely death of the great and glorious Lawton, who verbally ordered ordered Batchelor to strike into the mountains and look for Agunado, live off the country, and push for all you are worth,' and who was personally cognizant of how well his order had been obeyed, robbed the command and Batchelor of the credit and fame SC grandly won Gen. Lawton was killed before he could make out his report and Batchelor died of the cholera in the Philippines, going to his grave without reward or recognition for one of the breVest exneditiOns in modern times.

A BRoAD-GAUGE CHURCH.

The Watching Avenue Congregation al Church, which is about to dedicate its new house of worship, has just adopted it's formal creed. It is charac- terized by the pastor, Rev. Horace Por- ter, as genuine, brief, broad and up tc date" It even reflects the influence of so recent an event as the Nation Fed. eration of Churches, held a few days ago in Carnegie Hall, New York city The creed is meant to be broad enough for any true follower of Jesus Christ; indeed, comprehensive enough to in- clude all creeds. It is as follows:-
 "We believe in the Fatherhood of God as revealed in Jesus Christ, His Son.
 We believe in Brotherhood of Man as made known in Jesus Christ
 We accept the Bible as the supreme interpretation of the life of God in the soul of man.
 we grant, one to another, liberty of individual interpretation of the deep mysteries and doctrines of the Bible, only requiring one another that, as members of this church, each shall strive to live in the spirit and accord ing to the teachings of Jesus Christ Any and all who strive so to live will be cordially received into the fellow ship and service of this church.
 We believe in the essential unity of Christendom. We lament the divisions which reparate the Church of God on earth. We seek for the unity of all churches. that they all may be one,' as the Master Himself prayed. We la- Dor for the fuller and fuller realiza- tion of the Brotherhood of Man in the worldwide kingdom of God, remember ing that One is our Master even Christ and all we are brethren.
