CONGRE IS ADJ0(JRNS'
Final Hours Marked BY Filibuster

IA TOILETTE I LEADS FIGHT
Was Assisted in Attempt to Defeat
: Compromise Currency Bill by a.
Messrs. Stone and Gore.

Washington, May .30.-Just ten min
utss officially before the hands Of the
biz round clocks in the chambers of
the two houses of congress pointed to
the hour of midnight the first session
of the Sixtieth congress came to. a.
close. ~ d. y...s&'s = >.....-.s
In the house the closing hours were
characterized by singing of songs by
Republicans in honor of Speaker Can
non and by Democrats in the interest
Of William 7. Bryan. The excitement,
which was great at times, finally sub
sided and the session closed with good
fellowship among members.
The senate was extremely quiet dur
Ing the closing hours, held together
only by the necessity of remaining in
session for the engrossing and signing
Of bills.
The last days of the senate will be
memorable on account of the filibuster
Of Messrs. La Toilette, Stone and Gore
against the emergency currency bill,
py the remarkable Interpretations of
the rules which go far to establish
cfotvre in a body noteworthy for the
1Eeedom Of debate and by the final
Passage Of the currency bill.
At 1880 o'clock the senate adopted.
thAyreport of the conferees of the two
houses of congress on the Aldrich-
Kreeland emergency currency bill by
the decisive vote of 43 to %, and thus
was taken the last congressional step
necessary toward the enactment of
emergency currency legislation, the
legislation toward which congress has.
directed it's principal effort since it
convened last December.
The downfall Of the f1libuster was
inevitable. Nine-tenths of the sena-
tors were opposed to it, but it was
marked by the breaking Of all records
In the length of speeches., Mr.. La Fol,

eighteen hours continuously, speaking

POOR NEWSPAPER REPORTING.

That which Is published in the news papers as news is news, some of it., Much of 1t is the news as the paper wishes 1t 10 be known, or as the party the paper belongs to wishes It to be known
 What I wanted to bring out Is that the reporters of the newspapers do not report facts. They are interested in getting good stories. They are in- strueted to get the interesting story, whether or not they get the news. In the old days. not so many years ago, either, we had to get the facts. If we did not there was a very disagreeable interview with the "old man." and the unlucky fellow who turned In a good story that did not square with the facts was generally told to look for an other job. We also had to write a reasonably concise summary of the event for the Introduction of the re- port
 The formulation of the business of collecting the news has thus far re- suited In distinct loss in accuracy. In
  everything is handled by associations, national and local. there Is not much danger that one papers facts will vary much from the facts of the other pa- pers, This Is a safeguard for the reporters. and they use it to cover ap slouchy work.
 But 1t Is not the reporters who are to be blamed. IL Is the editors. and back of them is the owners, who are more intent on making money than they were in the olden time, when my boss was q Harvard graduate and was am bitous Co have his editorials written in Harvardesque English If there was profit larger than was required 10 meet the interest and the depreciation on the plant, well and good. but there must be good English for the editori- als, and the facts in the local news,

ON TREE SURGERY
Practical Application of Den. tistry and Much More
 Besides.
THE PRESERVING OF TREES
What Is Done to Prevent Decay--Al. most Any Tree of Medium Age
 Cnn Be Saved.

What Is tree surgery? In SO far as 1t applies to the cement work alone a good answer would be that it is the practical application o} dentistry to trees But this answer would not cover the many other branches of the profes- sion, consisting of trimming, chainng
 packing, scraping, fertili2ing Tree surgery is in fact an advanced develop ment of arboriculturc Both fruit and shade trees are valued now as never before, and the fact has become gen orally known that by skiful methods of the tree surgeon 1t is possible to give new lease of life to trees which ap- parently had reached the limit of their existence, It is safe 10 say that almost any tree of medium age may be saved by these methods, says Cement Age
 Of the many branches embraced in this work the cement filling forms by far the largest and most important part The practice of filling cavities with cement has long been in use, but when carried out along the usual lines 1t only serves to add to the original trouble The method of sealing up the pdecayed section simply increases the decay Many examples may be seen where the bark at the side of the cav-

 Mccormick was miles from any set uement where he could secure medi- cal attention, so he started back to Grapeland. His leg pusated with pain and he soon became deathly sick. Tn hls weakened condition he was com pelled to rest on the road time and again. When he finally reached home he was almost exhausted and his leg was dreadfully swollen and almost black.
 Mccormick says that his treatment was famous among the Indians for snake bites and he has known of a number of instances where it's appli- cation has saved lives.--Los Angeles Times,

Ity was covered by the cement no regard having been paid to drainage or the subsequent healing of tho wound As the cement did not stick to the wood and the swayns of the tree by the wind often enlarged tho crack between the wood and the nllns, wa ter penetrated behind the cement and decay went on even more rapidly than before
 The tree grows in airth by the de- post of a hnlayer of new wood be- tween the wood and the bark There are three layers In this coat.-the mid de one being composed of thin-form. ing tissues known as the 'cambium" The inner side of this layer forms new wood, the outer new bark It is this neW layer and the layers of the four or five previous years which are known as the sapwood, and form the active section of the trunk and branches. The cells of these inner rings are gradual ly covered by the yearly deposit Of new growth, and from living sapWood become heartwood, which is dead and serves merely as strong framework for the living parts of the tree and as storehouses for excess material.
 After a mass of decay has been re- moved from the interior of a rottine trunk there remains q shell of living sapWood and bark In this cavity a. steel brace Is inserted and bolted in place This gives to the tree a stability which by the decay of the supporting heartwood IL had lost Now comes an important operation, the cutting of the watersheds, which prevent the en- trance of moisture, The watersheds consist of deep groove cut about an inch inside the edge and opening to the ground below The cement. being packed tightly into these grooves forms a channel down which the water flows, to be let out at the base The cavity is then wired throughout, the wire being stretched from nails driv- en into the wood. and acting as rein forcements for the cement This work having been completed, the cement is made as moist as possible and then built out into the original outline ol the tree. The bark which has been cut back for an inch or so in order to prevent bruising while the work is in progress, will eventually cover the fllled-in wound, the tree thus regain ing its normal appearance
 In the case of exceptionally large cavities the opening is covered by large of the bark. By this method the tree strips of zinc The cement Is then forced down into every crevice and al- cement put on and painted the color surgeon Is enabled to build out trees where fully half the wood may have been destroyed by lightning or from some other cause, This treatment serves as fine example of the heal ing power of nature, for 1t Is remark able how quickly these wounds will heal when protected from moisture and lowed to set, after which the zinc Is removed and coat of fine finishing further decay by the cement filling l insured by the watersheds, Boston 1 Transcript

FOR SNAKE BITE,

How d Ranchman Treated W1nnd
 When Far from Settlement.
 Bitten by a rattlesnake in the calf of the right leg in tho santa Ana Mountains last Saturday, John Me- Cornick, rancher of Grapeland, say ed his life by making an lnclsion with his pocket knife and inserting piece of the reptiles flesh in the wound. He bandaged it tightly and walked seven hours before he reached his ranch, where he could receive medical treat ment. Dr. Summer ]. Quint was call ed from Los Angeles 10 attend McCor- nick. When he arrived he found that his patient was suffering from only a slight poisoning He declares that Mccormick saved his life by his own treatment
 Mccormick was hunting through scrub oak when he felt peculiar sting in his leg He looked down and saw the snake dragging on the ground as he walked. It's fanGs had become fastened in his leggines and t was unable to withdraw them
 With the butt of his gun Mccormick knocked the snake off and -hen crushed it's head with his heel As quickly as possible he ran into the open and carried the snake with him. When he barred his leg he squeezed all the blood he could out of the two punctures which the fangs had made Then he opened gash, cutting through the two wounds and letting out the blood and poison. He cut a

Advice to the Connecticut Towns.
(Hartford Letter to the Shore Lin
 Times)

Times)
 The various towns of the state should realize that they ought to se- leot their representatives with a good deal of care this year in view of the fact that the matter of a public util- ties commission is coming up for dis cusslon at the coming session. It is i'm probable that the railroad company or the telephone company will forget 1t in case the voters do, and for this very reason some mighty good men should be sent to the house, for long experience has taught the people not 10 expect anything from the senate, be- cause, by not expecting anything they are not so liable to be disappointed The time to attend to this vital matter Is now, and the place Is at the town caucus. There Is no sense in staying at home that evening and cursing the makeup of the ticket the next morning, for that brand of patriotism Is no use whatever. The time to get men who will represent the voters and not the corporations is when the caucus Is held and not the next day or the next week or two or three months hence when the legislator meets. The issue is ono to be settled right at home, and not in Hartford next winter.
