Resolutions Are Voted Down, but
Later Reconsidered and Adopted

Later Reconsidered and Adopted
Bv Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. 23.-The reso-
lutions committee of the Trans Missis-
sippi Commercial congress, in session
this morning, voted down the two reso-
lutions submitted to the congress last
night by William j. Bryan.
The first of these resolutions favored
the Endorsement by the congress of a
resolution adopted by the interparlia-
mentary union at the London session in
favor of the settling of international
questions impartially by a court or
commission of investigation before de-
claration of war or the opening of hos
tilitieS by any country.
The second resolution sought to place
the congress on record as being OPP
posed to private monopolies, and be-
lieving them 'indefensibe and intoler-
able; favors the enforcement of ex-
listing laws and the enactment of such
new laws as may be necessary to pro-
tect industry from the menace of
fered by the trusts.
The introduction of politics into the
proceedings of the congress was mar
rowly averted when the report of the
committee on resolutions was submit
ted for action. John p. Irish, chairman
of the committee, had scarcely finished
reading the report when L. V. Irvine
of st. Louis, vice president of the con-
gress, made an impassioned address
censuring the action of the resolutions
committee in emitting from it's report
the two resolutions introduced to the
congress by Mr.. Bryan during the
speech last night.
Offers Resolutions
Mr.. Irvine then offered the Bryan
resolutions for the consideration of the
committee.
The chairman suggested that consid-
Grafton of the Bryan resolutions be
postponed until the report of the COM
mittee on resolutions as reported had
been adopted and the suggestion was
adopted. The report of the committee
was adopted and then Mr.. Irvine for
mally offered the Bryan resolutions
against private monopoly.
Col. Irish, in reply to the speech of
Mr.. Irvine, said that he opposed the
Bryan resolutions because of the views
Mr.. Bryan had expressed in his New
York speech. He said that those views
were of such nature that he did not
want the congress to go on record as
supporting them directly or indirectly.
He said that Mr.. Bryan, who was an
eminent dialectician and candidate for
political honors had advanced govern
ment ownership of all public utilities
and that an Endorsement of the resolu-
tion would be an indirect Endorsement
of government ownership of such utili-
ties.
Several delegates demonstrated with
Col Irish that Mr.. Bryan has not adj
vocated the public ownership of all pub
lie utilities and Thomas Knight of
Kansas City asked Mr.. Irish:
"Does the authorship of a resolution
stamp the resolution" and Mr.. Irish
rejoined:
"Would you consider any resolution
put by Mr.. Hartman"
Mr.. Knight answered: "I would if a
good one"
Without further debate the resolu-
tion offered by Mr.. Irvine was adopted
and Mr.. Bryan's first resolution was
submitted and adopted without debatel

Mrs. Scheck was weeping bitterly and
sobbed out her remarks in broken SEN

"Oh, I'm so miserable" she answered
to query. mo, 1 cannot say I am

She did not say whether the loneliness
would be the result of the absence of
her husband or longing for her lover,
who now occupies a cell in tank T. at the
county Jail, awaiting transportation
north.
''It seems peculiar" said the woman
that 1 should have been afflicted with
trouble like this. Why, / have had

AT the mention of his name the great
white bird, the pet of the matron's de-
partment of the Jail, cooked a great
brown, knowing eye at the girl and
shrieked.
HE has been a good friend to me. and
1 have spent most of my time talking to
him. If he would tell, he knows all
my secrets, but / don't think you can
coax them from him."
Mrs. Scheck held out her finger ami
preened the mass of green feathers
which waver from the topknot of the
bird, and instead of swapping as cocka-
toos have way of doing, Joe reached
out and nibbled gently at the woman's
fingers.
Il hate to see him in there" contin-
ued Mrs. Scheck, and she looked at the
hard iron bars of the bird cage and
then at the great strong white wings
of the bird. She turned ever so slightly
and looked to another part of the cor
ridor, where a small iron barred cell
marked her living room. Then she
looked back at the bird In his cage.
You can see how we could appreciate
one another's feelings" she said.

A call came from the matron, and
Mrs. Scheck picked up her belongings,
nodded a good by to the other unfor-
tunate women of the ward. and took
the elevator to the first floor and to
freedom.

derisive voice as Mrs. Scheck left the

 At meeting of the Congregational society of Wilmington, held last Sat. urday, it was voted to build confer ence house, and OIL Monday work was commenced on it. It will be built from the rear of the church building, and is to be 26x22, with 12 feet posts.
 Last Saturday afternoon the "rais- ing of the new Congregational church at Wilmington took place. About 50 men participated. Everything passed off finely, and, thanks to a kind oVer- ruling providence, the scene was not saddened by such fatal accident as took place at the raising of the former building in 179S. After the raising the people were invited to partake of refreshments which had. been kindly provided by the thoughtful ladies.

The PiIlOrY I'm Ennlanh

It is difficult to realize that as late as June 26, 1880, so barbarous a pun ishment as that of the pillory was still inflicted. One Peter James Bossy stood in the pillory in the Old Bailey on that day for perjury and was the last of a long line of victims, for it was abol- 1shed immediately afterward. Origi- nally, like most mediaeval punish ment, it was intended more as a dis grace than as a bodily discomfort, but crowd that would watch all night to gloat over a public hanging in the morning naturally did not spare the victims of the pillory, who sometimes died from the treatment they received. More humane was the punishment for perjury in 1468, when the offenders were merely sentenced to ride from Newgate to Cornhill with paper miters on their heads. But they knew a thing or two in the middle ages, and no doubt there was a street boy even in 1468.-London Chronicle.

Causes of Cancer.

'I could see no reason for the prev alence of cancer among the backwoods- men of North America," says an Eng fish writer. "The other day, however, l happened to read in an account of the backwoods of Canada that the lum- bermen maintain their remarkab ble powers on buckwheat cakes served with molasses, potato pies, baked beans, white bread, pork and bacon. So far good, but that tea, black as ink, sweetened with molasses or sugar house sirup, is always near the fire by day and by night and is used in vast quantities. Here we have the rich nu- triment and the great excess of stewed tea and the excess of sugar, cor responding to the excessive beer and excessive coffee of parts of Holland, Scandinavia, Switzerland, Baden and Bavaria, in all of which cancer Is ex- ceedingly prevalent"

Matter Indestructible.

An essential property of matter but which does not commend itself to su- perfcial observation, like those of ex- tension and resistance, is indestructi- bility. So far as experiment and ob- servation can discover matter can nei- ther be created nor destroyed. On the surface facts seem to contradict thfs assertion, for any particular portion of matter may be decomposed and resolv- ed into its constituent parts so that it seems to have disappeared, because the form under which we knew 1t is no longer present. In reality, however, no d1minution in the quantity of existing matter has taken place. One proof of this is easily afforded by combustion. If we allow piece of wood or coal or any combustible solid body to "burn away" there will, as we all know, be ashes remaining If while the combus- ton, is going on we take means to pre- serve not only the ashes, but also every part of the body which would ordinari- ly be dissipated, as smoke and steam, and then weigh all the different sub stances, solid, liquid or gaseous, that we have obtained, we shall find the combined weights equal to the original weight of the body itself

Druggists ana Borrowing.

 macies are constantly supplied with all
 the drugs required ill compromising medicines. When a druggist is asked to | fill a short notice prescription calling for some drug that he does not happen to have on hand, he does not take time | to telephone to a wholesale house for the missing ingredient, but sends around to the nearest drug store and tries to borrow it. It is a peculiar fea- ture of the situation that druggists sell dom buy anything outright from each other. They merely borrow, then, after having replenished their stock from the wholesale houses they pay back the loan-New York Post.

Apes and Boards,

Almost all apes have boards. Dar- win says that gorillas, chimpanzees and orang outangs have also stiff and bristly hairs upon their upper lips, re- semblfng cats whiskers. The boards of apes possess a remarkable resem- blance to those of men, in being al- most invariably lighter in color than the hair of the head. In apes the chin growth is most frequently yellow or red, becoming white in age. It is common to both sexes, although more strongly developed in the male. Apes and monkeys also-have eyebrows as well, which do not grow thickly to- gether as in human beings, but are scattered through the hair, covering the part of the face which would be called the forehead in man.

SuEAE.

Sugar, the modern commodity, which we class among the indispensable nee essaries, was wholly unknown to the ancient nations. The word "saccha- rum" occurs but once in the Latin translation of the Bible, and the equiv alent for our word sugar is first used by Pliny, whose writings are almost contempOraneouS with the ministry of Christ. He calls it ''honey collected in (from) reeds" and says that the Ro- mans first became acquainted with its use In Arabia Felix. Statius in his ac- count of the old Saturnalla ceremonies mentions vegetable honey" as being used and winds up his account by say ing that "this same honey is boiled from EIosian reeds" Dioscorides, the Greek physician who fourished in the first or second century of the Christian era and whose great work, De Mate ria Medica," treats of all the then known medicinal substances and their properties, says that "the name of sug- ar has been given to the honey which Is produced by reeds without bees," and Strabo, writing concerning 1t, says, ''They the people of Arabia Felix make honey without bees from reeds, and 1t sometimes resembles salt"

INDIAN PROVERBS.

The coward shoots with shut eyes.
 Small things talk loud to the Indians eye.
 The paleface's arm is longer than his word.
 When a fox walks lame old rabbit jumps.
 A squaw's tongue runs faster than the winds legs.
 There is nothing so eloquent as a rattlesnake's tail.
 The Indian scalps his enemy; the paleface skins his friends.
 Before the paleface came there was no poison in the Indians corn.
 There will be hungry palefaces so long as there is any Indian land to swallow.
 When man prays one day and steals six the Great Spirit thunders and the evil one laughs.
 There are three things it takes a strong man to hold-a young warrior, wild horse and handsome squaw.

A ships speed is reckoned ky knots, knot being q geographical mile, or one-sixtieth of degree. Six geograph- ical miles are about equal to seven statute miles, and ship that sails 12 knots therefore is really moving at the rate of fourteen statute miles an hour.

TfaraS Made Over.

It may be realized by purchasers of diamond tiaras and the like that styles in settings change almost as frequent ly as in a woman's hat, and every oth- CT year at least must see the precious diadem rebuilt. This adds to original cost, for no self respecting jeweler changes the setting of a costly piece of jewelry without adding a few new stones to the first amount, thereby in creasing it's value. Of course famous crowns, with associations attached, that have recently come into the posses sion of very rich Americans remain as first designed, for even an American shows some sentiment when it costs him fortune to indulge in rich his- toric jewels, but otherwise diamond and pearl and emerald tiaras are con stantly made over.-Boston Herald.
