great talent for opera singing and de-

Thinks SENATE 4! ! WILL
PASS The HOUSE Bill
Hopkins Predicts Adoption Of
Unamended Dolliver- Hepburn I
Bill and Vote Soon.
BY w. w, Jermane,

Washington, April 21.--Senator Hop
kins. Of Illinois walked out-of the ex-
ecutive Offices today and Informed
crowd of waiting newspaper men that,
in his Judgment, the senate would
vote on the rate bill within two weeks
and that the senate would pass the
house bill unamended. This opinion
is entertained by a. good many public
men in Washington.
1t, is significant that, since the fail
5ure of the democratic conference to
agree upon any binding program with
respect to the rate bill, some of the
recognized leaders in both parties of
the so-called conservative and radical
elements, seem convinced that the
Dolliver-Hepburn bill, unamended, will
pass the senate. This opinion has been
held for several weeks by number Of
well-informed senators, but it has been
fouted somewhat scornfully by the AL
drich following. : s....s@a. e.

lie to bring Interstate transportation

federal control and regulation than
that provided in the pending bill.
But as it seems evident that the AL.

Washington, Dec. 23.-According to
the annual report of l.. c. Howard, in
charge Of the bureau of entomology Of
the department of agriculture, tho
main work of the bureau for the past
fiscal year ended June 80, 1905, was in
connection with the cotton boil weevil,
the cotton boil worm, importation Of
beneficial insects from abroad, investi-
cations of insects damaging forests
and %deciduous fruit trees, work on in
sects injurious to vegetable crops and
affecting the great staple field crops,
and work in silk and bee culture. The
results as to the cotton boil worm
were such that cotton planters will, it

injurious pest.
Experiments on a large scale, extend
ing over practically the whole of the
wheat-growing area, have been begun
looking toward the elucidation of GER
tain as yet unsolved problems in the
propagation of the Hessian fly and
joint worms of wheat, and also to de-
termine the best time to SOW wheat in
the autumn in order to ward off the
autumn attack of the fly, and investiga-

WANT TO SAVE THEIR BACON
Midshipmen at Annapolis Consider.
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of Max
ing Wholesale Confession.

Annapolis, Nd, Dec. 19.-Midshipmen
here have announced their intention OF
urging the whole student body to go to
the superintendent and confess that
they have participated in hazing. They
believe that as it would not be prac-
tical to expel the whole school, such ac-
ton would save those who have been
or may be caught.
Nothing Of late years has so stirred
the midshipmen as the methods by
which Admiral Sands, the superintend-
ent, is striking at hazing, the reason
being that almost every midshipman is
in danger. Particularly are the mem
hers of the first and second class wor-
ried, as they have been more active
hazers than most graduating classes.
They are also the ones who are gen.
orally on duty in the quarters, and AID.
miral Sands action in the case Of VAN
deveer, whose offense was failure to
report hazing and not hazing itself,
shows that they are in danger of dis
missal for similar offenses.

with two labor leaders were indicted for
conspiracy to do an illegal act, to pre-
vent competition and to restrict the
production and sale Of brick in the
Chicago market.
AS soon as the cases were called IN
court, the defense announced that Will
lam Weckler, general superintendent OF
the Illinois Brick Co., had decided to
turn states evidence and it was desired
that the punishment to be inflicted on
the other nine defendants should be re-
mitted in his case.
States Attorney Healy declared that
he was willing that this action should
be taken in Mr.. Week.-Mrs. case and the
attorneys then entered pleas Of nom
contender for all the other defendants.

each instance. The amount was paid
at once by the attorneys and the ce-
PENDANTS were dismissed.
The charge against the labor leaders
included with the officials of the brick
combine in the indictment was that
they called strikes on buildings where
the contractors used bricks purchased
from others than those in the combina-
ion. In cases where these strikes were
called it was stated by the states at
torney, the contractors were compelled
to pay their men for all the time they

and corporations indicted on charges Of
conspiracy in restraint of trade in the

themselves during the Garfield investi-

lieved by the defendants, was used

Generosity Of Genius.

Descanting upon the qualities OF the
genius in an article The Reader,
Bliss Carman, the poet, ~learnedly OBJ
serves: THE genius is a spirit in its
last incarnation. He has bounden
duties to the cause of perennial and in
finite beauty, and these delicate exact
ing obligations are not less necessary,
though less tangible, than the services
of the stone in the building and the
coral insect in the reef. They are
more analogous to the higher, frall-
er, more indefinite, but more inspiring
utilities of the flowers of the wood
and the ephemera of the air. And
consider what responsibility Is his in
the conveying to us of priceless treas
ure from the tenuous our OF the
Imagination. He is an accredited pur-
veyor of more wonderful riches than
ever were brought home from earthly
adventure. He goes every day on an
unchartered voyage to some fairy Is
land, and returning to these gray
shores brings back an invaluable
freight of solace and gladness and re-
juvenation. To all the toillng tribe
of mortals he is the most unquestion-
able of benefactors, since he asks put
little and gives so much. He is not
merely a member of the commonwealth
of society, he is also an emlssary
from the ~incorporeal kingdoms or the
spirit. He owes allegiance to our hu-
man institutions, yet is always over
wrought even more by the eXactlon
of secret orders whose superhuman
import he must interpret for u en-
h~eartening. The generosity OF the
genius is miraculous; he turns the olt-
ter waters of life into sweet springs
by a word. A few cents worth OF pa
per and ink, a few dollars worth OF
paint and brushes, a little leisure and
a leaping heart, and the wonder-work
ing is accomplished, which may out
last the brilliancy of persisted cities
and the extravaganza of kings. 1t IS
the genius, the artist, who makes THIS
life worth living for US, who gives US
courage to live. Without the pleas
ure and aspiration lie provides, we
should faint by the roadside. He sus-
tains the faltering heart, and out or
his sure faith puts gertrude in the
doubtful mind. He is a practitioner OF
that creative wizardry which works
through nature and through art alike,
and is continually surprising US with
new variants of beauty, fresh mani
festations of goodness, larger revela-
tons of truth"

NO NEW TAGGART TRIAL
Judge Eason Overrules the Motion
and Fines Three of Mrs. T~aggart's
for Contempt.

Wooster, o., Dec. 23-The motion
fer a new trial in the Taggart divorce
case was overrruled by Judge Eason
Friday afternoon. Mrs. Taggart's at
torneys, who made the motion, took
exceptions to the ruling with the an
nounced intention of carrying the case
to the circuit court. The court took
four hours to give the decision. He
paid particular attention to the affi-
davits against himself, some of which
declared that he was ~prejudiced and
biased in giving the decree of divorce
to Maj. Taggart. He pronounced these
afidavits unfair, unjust and unusual
for lawyers to make, and that all other
affdavits were a mass of trash. The
attorneys who swore to the %afidavits
of prejudice were clearly in contempt,
and he imposed a fine of SIS each upon
Judge Lyman Critchield, Capt. James
B. Taylor and Judge M. L. Smyser. He
suspended collection of the fines until
the circuit court could pass upon his
decision in the case.
