prompt defeat was the bill introduced by Mir. Rushton to cnange the election laws. and the responsibility for it's de- feat was largely due to he fact that the bill provided that the primaries for all offices should be held on the same day.
 There was a quick end to the fill clustering tactics of Friday, when the bill providing that all local laws should be pri:-ted in a newspaper of the coun- ty that was affected by those laws was again taken up for discussion. It was of short duration and the bill was finally killed by a vote of the House.
 This action opened the way for MT. Block to call up the bill introduced by MT John for the regulation of min ing in the State. That the House had decided to turn this measure down was shown from the fact that it hardly gave to MT. John time to explain his measure before sending the bill to the table.
 Other matters of importance that were disposed of by the House includ- ed a bill to appropriate $2.000 to de- fray the expenses of the Confederate reunions in this state. The passing Of this bill met with an outburst of ap- plause that started in the gallery and was taken up by the members, neces- sitating the Speaker rccping for or der with his gavei.

Much to Be Done Before

 Promptly Tabled
Measure to Assist in Defray1ng Ex- penses of old Soldiers Reunions Among Those to be Passed
 During the Day.

Realizing there is much business to be done before the hour of final ad- journment. and also with the realiza- ton that extra work Is imposed on them by reason of the death of Sem ator Pettus, the members of the House yesterday early settled down to busi- ness with determination to pass up on as many pending measures as pos- sible.
 It was made evident in the first hour of the session that members would not be allowed to do other than follow the regular order of things and that any attempt to upset the arrange ments that had been made for the disposal of business before the House would be strongly objected to.
 The first work of importance that was brought up for consideration was a renewal of the debate on the bill providing for a new jury system in all the counties. The bill had been printed since the adjournment of Fri day last and a copy of 1t lay on the desk of every member
 Discussion had not proceeded far when it became evident that a ma jority of the House were opposed to it's passage. It was hinted that the reason for this was purely a political one, many of the members being of the opinion that it would work change in the political atmosphere of their counties. For this reason the bill was voted down.

The House was told by MT. Gunter that there were few people in the coun- ty of Montgomery who objected to the school, but on the other hand they be- lieved it should be supported.
 MT. Bloch said the principal of the school had done all he could to help the Democratic party. The negroes were taught right social equalities. Ideas were not taught but they were taught those things which were not only for their good but for the good of the State. He hoped no attempt would be made to reduce this appro- priation. He moved to lay the amend ment on the table. It was done.
 MT. Bulger offered an amendment to make the amount $10,500 instead of sl2.500. He thought the school should have some help from the State but he | thought the amount he suggested was | enough No one, he said, had ever | heard a complaint of the management | or of any of the scholars. he said. MT. Maner spoke in favor of the amendment On a division vote the | amendment was carried.

When Hepburn lighted his ruby
lamp and sat down before his devel-
pping tray in the room Of the hotel
where he was spending his summer
vacation, it was with the pleasant an
ticipation, always experienced by the
amateur on such occasions Of the en-
jOyment Of the treasures concealed IN
the little box of exposed plates which
only awaited the magic bath Of a
chemical to disclose themselves to
his delighted gaze. Hepburn was an
enthusiastic student of photography
HThi6 settles it, he declared with
emphasis, as he removed the last
plate from the hoX. "a shan't buy any
more supplies of Sanford when ! get

He shook his head obviously, as he
placed the twelfth plate in the hypo.
Photography is a capricious mis-
tress, and has q fashion Of springing
surprises upon her doyotaes Hepburn
was soon aware that there was some.
thing about this plate quite different
from any that he had ever tried to
develop. Slowly the image appeared,
but there was Clearncss about II,
coupled with the evolution Of unfa-
miliar outlines, that puzzled him,
There was the picture Of the mill
pond, clear, yet soft, a negative such
as he had often dreamed Of making,
But back Of this picture was another,
1t was--oh, strange and enhancing
sightl--tsat of the most beautiful
woman that he had ever seen. Hep,
burn stared hard. Hepburn almost
trembled as he carefully washed the
plate, and set it on the rack to dry,
After breakfast next morning he
sauntered out as usual with his
camera, lie had no appreciation
whatever Of the scenes through which
he wandered, when, turning a bend in
the path, he came quite unexpectedly
upon scene Of such wild and roman.
