Whether or not Joshua really made
the sun to stand stilI'' in obedience to
his command, it is certain that in mod
ern legislatures, by mere unexpressed
wish, time ceases to record it's passage.

hibition is lifted, when, as if by magic,
they move forward and the pendulum
reneWs its ceaseless swing.
II was through this potent and not
altogether mysterious influence that in
the senate yesterday afternoon it was
225 until it was verging on o'clock.
and thus was accomplished routine
work that would, under the operation
or house concurrent resolution No. 7,
nave otherwise been rendered impos-
sible.

ton of this resolution, fixing the hour
FOR final adjournment at IL o'clock,
noon, Saturday, a score or more of
senate and house bills passed to third
