From here the commission goes next

CONGRESSMAN WHO CAN SING
Mr.. Tawney, Of Minnesota, ftas a
Good Voice.

James A. Tawney, who represents
the First Congressional district of
Minnesota, says the Chicago Chroni-
Gle, has the best singing voice in con-
gress-a high baritone which at times
sounds like tenor. Only once, at
the wind-up of the Fifty-seventh con-
gress, did he give his assembled col
leagues a specimen of his vocal abil-
ity. There was the usual din that
marks the close of a session, and lot
of would-be songsters had been tor
turing the air with all sorts Of Choir
uses. Then somebody started the
doxology. None Of the singers seemed
able to recall the words Of the fine old
church song. AS If in very shame for
the ignorance of his colleagues Mr..
Tawney raised his voice. His first
clear note stilled the tumult. He sang
the doxology as never before or since
has II been heard In the halls of con-
gress. Every word of the old hymn
took Its flight to the uttermost part
OF the great chamber. But Mr.. Taw-
ney has absolutely refused from that
dag to Join In the singing in the
house.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April IA
Out Of respect for his memory the up
per house of the General Assembly
sat two hours Sunday to hear eulogies
pronounced upon the life and charac-
ter of the late Senator John Meredith
Graham. Contrary to the announce
ment of the Speaker, but because 1t
was so provided in the resolutions
adopted, the Senate, when the me-
mortal service was concluded, adjourn
ed without transacting other business.
Couched, in words of highest al
mifation for his worth, the eulogles
came from the hearts of the intimate
colleagues of the dead Senator to the
ears of the auditors in quavering ac'
cents. The most glowing tribute OF
all was paid by Senator Bean.

NECKLACE A HooDoo.
Evil Luck Follows a Royal Pearl and
Turquoise Jewel.

u.ondon Cor. Chicago Chronicle.).
"Reware the hoodoo necklace of the
Maharaiah of Kuch Behar. Sun 1t, dc
not accept it even as gift
This advice, the superstitious women
OF the theater and the superstitious
men on the turf are giving each other
with much mysterious emphasis.
There seems to be good reason for
the warning they exchange. The
Maharajah, a wealthy and handsome
East Indian Prince, educated at OK
ford, is as good sportsman as any
in England. Six hundred thousand
subjects bow the knee to him in MS
feudatory state In Bengal Kuch Be-
hairs annual revenue, which is to say
the Maharajah's income, is about vi
900 900. His suzerain, King Edward,
Emperor OF India, has honored the
Maharrajah by making him a Grand
Commander of the Most Eminent Or
der of the Indian Empire and Com
mander of the Bath. He is. entitled to
a salute of Is guns.
Here and in India the Maharajah
plays fine polo; here and there MS
horses, which he always backs heav'
lily, have won some races. He was
having the luck he deserves until he
bought costly necklace OF pearls
and turquoise about year ago and
presented to his wife, the Maharanee.
to propitiate her probably. Unlike
most Indian Princes, the Maharajah
has only one wife, but his admira-
ton embraces all beautiful women.
Almost Immediately after she re-
ceived the gift some exceedingly val
liable gems were stolen from the Ma
haranee, but not the necklace. Next
the Maharajah's best polo ponies died.
then his race horses lost their speed
and he lost big wagers on them. He
consulted an aged pundit.
rid yourself of the necklace" the
wise man ordered bad luck will go
with it,"
The Maharajah cynically bethought
himself of beautiful woman who
sings in musical comedy. Even his
ardent admiration could not melt the
frigidity she displayed toward him.
Taking the necklace, which the Ma
haranee yielded UP most joyfully, he
went to the songstress.
Accept this, o woman Of 70, as my
parting gift. I will never again look
on your divine beauty. But with all
my heart wish you luck and happi-
ness"
The star felt as remorseful as she
could and accepted the necklace. She
whose appearance had always been
greeted with enthusiastic braves fall
ed miserably in the next three musical
comedies in which she appeared. She
did not know the curse that rests up
on the pearl and turquoise necklace.

ALL SORTS

It is stated that some apprehension
is felt in Washington that. while the
effect of the new immigration order
will greatly diminish the number OF
Japanese coolies entering the United
States. the number of merchants and
students will be increased sufficiently
to offset any diminution in the total
number of immigrants from Japan.
There Is not the slightest doubt on
this point. The immigration officials
are likely to have their hands full at
tending to the admission of mer-
chants, and very soon we may expect
to see large numbers of them working
on our railroads and tilling our fields
and gathering our fruits. The Japa7
nese are very adaptable people.
The normal pulse has wide range,
but is always faster in females than
males, and steadily declines from birth
to death. Eminent physicians have
thought it possible to tell persons
sex and age from the pulse alone.
The average rate at birth Is 100
beats minute in girls and 100 In
boys; at the age of or 5, ITO and
100; in maidens and youths, Sb and
90; in maturer women and men, 80
and rs, and elderly women and men,
so and 50. In one recorded case the
pulse OF healthy man at 81 was only
30 minute.
The pulse varies with statute, posi-.
ton of body, exercise and health.
and in disease it has been known to
fall to Ia a minute.

Liberal Pensions.

In dealing with the old soldiers ana
their dependent widows, the Legisia-
ture displayed a generosity that al
most borders on extravaganza, the
concentrations for soldiers pensions
heinp increased from 100000 to $780,
600 and the appropriations for wild
ows' pensions being increased from
$4,000 to $4,000, making the totai
CONCENTRATIONS for pensions $75O,OOO
for two years, which is just about one
fourth OF the average annual revenues
of the State for the past two years
In proportion to the entire revenue
OF the State the pension appropria-
tions OF Tennessee are almost as gen
erous as those Of the United States
Government. In addition to the pen
sion appropriation liberal appropria-
lions we're made for the Old Soldiers
Home.
Those who are interested In pro-
,,at,rg the cause Of public education
should call this Legislature blessed
for It has appropriated aitogetner
twice as much for education as any
of it's predecessors. For an endo~-'
ment of s25O,OO0 was voted to the Pea
body Normal College, and $loo'ooV
for higher and technical education was
appropriated to the University OF Ten
nessee. For the common schools ap-
nroximately $4,000 was appropriat'
ed to be distributed next January ana
$3.50 900 for the January thereafter
Altogether, these appropriations ag-

In many respects the Legislature
which viii end its session today Is
without a precedent in the history OF
this state. Probably the most re-
markable feature of the Legislature
has been it's liberality in making ap-
nronriations. II would probably be
no exaggeration to say that the pres
ant Legislature has been the most lid
,eral in spending public moneys OF
any that ever assembled in Tennes-
see. says the Nashville American.
While there have been a few men,
bers who essayed the role OF watch
dogs of the Treasury" the NUMBER
was inconsequential as compared with
the total membership Of the body. and
these saw early IN the session that
opposition to appropriations was not
popular and allowed nearly all OF the
large items to go through without
even a formal protest. Coupling the
added appropriation to the public
schools made under the Chestnut bill
and the S1,OOO,OOS to public roads
made by the Toilet act. the approprl
atoms made by this Legislature Will
amount to nearly s2,OOO.00 more than
the appropriations made In 1905.
Toilet Road Law.
However, not all of the appropria'
ton made by the Toilet road act VIII
be. expended, because the bill provides
that the amount appropriated shall
be paid out of the surplus in the Treas
ury after the payment Of such appro
priations. Since an appropriation waa
made to retire $3.50 900 Of State bonds
due this year, and the allowance for
the public schools has not been In
creased, it is not expected that the
Treasury surplus at the end OF the
year will be sufficient to pay the en-
tire amount of the road appropria
ton. Owing to the restrictions plac
ed upon this appropriation it will not
proye a source of embarrassment to
to the Treasury, since the money VIII
not be available unless it is on hand.
The Legislature has been llDefal
with all of the interests and depart
ments of the State. 1t evidently went
upon the idea that the employe OF the
State was worthy of his hire, Tor
with the exception of the Department
of Agriculture, there is not a depart
ment of the Statehouse that. some OF
the officials or clerks, usually all o.
them, was not the recipient of add
tional compensation.
