GET BACK At YOUNG MAID
EMS CLUB. 49,
Will Keep Docket Bureau Containing
Records Of Every Girls Charae-
a,,,.., ter to Guide Seekers, After o..
Better HALVES.

Sterling, Il.-In retaliation for TIN
formation and announced intent of the
Manageable Maidens' Matrimonial
club, of Rock Falls, which is just
across the river, a score Of young mer
Of Sterling have organized themselves
into Young Mems Betterment
league.
The Rock, Falls maidens, of whom
there are 20, announced that before
any swain could keep company with
any one of them his record would be
duly examined and vote of the other
10 members taken. Marriage, they
say, was not to be thought of unless
at least II of the club members voted
AYE" when the question of the
blushing youth was submitted to
them.
With similar intent, tho Young
Mems Betterment League, of which
there are also 20 members, will
straitly inquire into the habits and
past performances of every girl to
whom any. member is, paying court.
II she Is unduly flirtatiouse and has
coquettishly thrown down any Of the
other members, the fact will be duly
communicated, so that the love smit-
ten one may beware him well in
time. Likewise they will institute
Investigations as to the quality of
the biscuits, soup, and seven layer
chocolate cake constructed by the
girlish subjects of inquest, and
whether her talents for keeping house
outweigh her inclnations to bridge
whist, first night box seats, and the
midnight festival.
Though the league is newly formed,
It's plans contemplate the establish
ment of a docket bureau with black
tin boxes lettered from A to z, in
which the records of the maidens will
be kept-somewhat as follows:
Miss Mehitable Hathaway, % STAN
ton avenue.
Blonde, blue eyes, long lashes;
reaches just up to shoulder; still
wears Hardness ring, four fraternity
pins, and a bracelet, giver unknown,
all of which she forgets to return.

Browning; writes little self.
Housekeeping-Sm brother says

sister or mother to do sweeping and
cleaning.
Cooking-Strictly punk.
Miss Hannah Scruggs, 500 Fuller
ton.
Halfway brunette, brown eyes; not
much on looks; never engaged, so far
as can be discovered; thinks jewelry
ostentatious.
Habits - Has none disagreeable;
says THANK you" for box of candy.
Tastes-Quiet, domestic; kid broth
er seems to admire her.
Housekeeping as a pin.
Cooking-All to the mustard.
Other records will, of coures, be
filed out as strictly as possible. With
a complete docket bureau it is thought
the wary swain may guide his feet
with confidence along the pit strewn
road to matrimony.

SP0ONER ON
THE RATE BILL

ON POWER OF COURT
he Sees Grave Danger in the Pro-
vision Would Almost Destroy
the Bills Plan fol-
Rate-Fixing.

Washington, y. G. April 81 4 stock
OF books which covered all the vacant
space in the vicinity OF Mr.. Srooner's
desk bore evidence at The beginning of
yesterdays session of the Senate Of the
Wisconsin senator's intention to make
good his promise 70 reply To Mr.. Bail
ey's speech on the railroad rate bill
Mr., spooner began speaking at 1890
o'clock, announcing his purpose of de-.
voting himself largely TO Mr. Bailcy's
amendment prohibiting inferior courts
from restraining the orders OF the in
terstate commerce commission.
The question is very grave one,
he said. IF adopted il would almost
destroy the rate fixing provision Of this
BILL
He said that the proposition was the
most important question that had been
presented to the Senate in recent wears.
far greater than even the rate fixing
question itself. He quoted Mr.. Bailev's
declaration that "the power to create
involves the power to destroy. and said
that when applied to the courts this
axiom was fun Of danger. He denied
that, except in limited degree. Congress
had power to destroy the courts.
He then entered upon an effort to
draw the line Of distinction between
jurisdiction and judicial power, aud said
that Mfr. Baileys necessities must have
been responsible for his sncers at this
distinction.
Judicial power is an indiyisible thing.
while jurisdiction may be distributed"
he went on, eontending that in the
constitution the word Jurisdiction had
been used 50 as to make it apply TO
the beginning Of suits, while the words
judicial power had been used as ap-
plicable to the power Of the court over
case once instituted He therefore
commended TINT judicial power lodges in |
the United States courts in eases in
which those courts have jurisdiction.

RAILWAY OFFERS TO
COMPLY WITH THE LAW
MAKES PROMISES TO OIL ITS
OWN TRACKS
Representative of Company is Out
With Unexpected Suggestion to
Keep Down the Dust as Provided
by Long Neglected Ordinance

BILLY" Dunn, representing the Hunt
ington interests, yesterday told mem
bers of the board of public works that
the Huntington street railways would
assist the city in olling streets on which
their car tracks are laid. He proposed
that the city oil that portion of the
streets not occupied by the railway
company's right of way and Hunting
ton would look after the right OF way
which includes the tracks and two feet
of the street on each side.
Dunn's offer was in no way a mag
unanimous one as the street railways
are required by ordinance to keep the
dust settled on their right of way. This
law Is on the city's ordnance books
but for some reason has never been
enforced.
A few weeks ago the board of public
works referred to the city attorney the
question OF whether or not there was
such an ordinance and was notified
that there was. The board will see
that the ordinance Is enforced, but had
taken no steps In this direction when
Dunn made his proposal yesterday.
