LaFollette Prevents
Congress From
Adjourning
SPEECH LASTS IS HOURS
All Records Broken By the
Michigan Senator.-.Stone
Aiding Him.

Washington, May 30.-Whatevel
else has been accomplished by Sena
tor LaFollette of Michigan. in his fill
buster against the adoption of the
conference report on the compromise
currency bill he has gained the cham
pionship for long speech-making. AT
1903 o'clock this morning he yielded
the floor to Senator Stone, Of Mis-
souri,, after having spoken almost
continuously for eighteen hours and
43 minutes and his voice seemed al.
most as fresh as when he began. II
Senators Stone and Gore, the latter
being accredited with a willingness to
assist in the filibuster, can do as well
as Senator LaFollette, the fillbuster is
far from ended. This is not taking
into calculation the now apparent
~ erroneous report that Sen
ator JEFF Davis of Arkansas, was to
take a hand. The Republican leaders
apparently have no program other
than to try to wear out the filibusters
Previous Record Held BY Nebraskan
The previous record for the longest
speech was made by former Senator
Allen of Nebraska, who opposed the
repeal of the silver purchasing clause
in the Sherman act and he was aided
by other Senators who took much OF
the strain from his voice by frequent
ly reading extracts from documents
Senator LaFollette had no such as
sistance, as the old rule that Sena
tor cannot speak twice on the same
subject on one legislative day was en-
forced. His exploit was made all the
more remarkable as his own party Il
wholly without sympathy with his ef
fort and he has but few supporters ir
the Democratic ranks.
A Memorable Night.
N, Last night was one that will b.
long rendered. The heat of the Sen
ate chamber was oppressive and the
attempt to maintain quorum prevent
ed fifty odd senator's now in the city
from getting any rest. The sergeant-a1
arms was directed to keep these sen
ators at the capitol which was almos
an impossibility. AS soon as they
were brought in and answered theil
names on roll call they would attempt
to depart. During the night fifty rol
calls were taken. Throughout yester
day and last night Senator LaoFllette
sustained himself on lunch consist
ing Of an egg and glass of milk ant
on one occasion during roll call, he ate
a sandwich. He husbanded strength
by sitting on the arm of chair a!
he talked and for the most part hi
speech was delivered in converse
tional tone.
Relieved BY Senator Stone.

!, EATING DOGS AND
HORSES IN GERMANY

North American Indians eat dogs
because they love them so; also be-
cause they are convenient, and, more
over, an eaten dog never bites. But
In Germany the people eat dogs be-
cause beef, mutton and poultry are
very scarce and high.
During the year 1906. says writer
in Harper's Weekly, there were
slaughtered for food in the Kingdom
of Saxony (Which constitutes one
thirty-sixth of the area and contains
about one-thirteenth of the popula-
ton of the Empire) 1892 horses
and 1896 dogs. This is an increase
of 224 horses and 1873 dogs over the
year 1905. In all Germany, during
the year 1906, there were slaughtered
for food 1000 horses. This is an
increase of about 10000 over 1905,
and OF about At 900 over 1904.
Complete figures are lacking in re-
gard to the slaughter of dogs for food
in the German Empire, but frag-
mentary statistics indicate that the
total number was about 7000-prob-
ably more, rather than less.
In the city of Chemnitz alone SOS
dogs were slaughtered in 1906, an in
crease of Lightweight over 1905, and
during the same period 1910 horses,
AN increase of eighty-seven over 1905.
Horsetiesh is very generally adver-
tised in the German newspapers. es-
pecially in those of the large indus
trial centres, and most German cities
have at least one market which makes
it a specially, claiming for it a higher
percentage of nourishment than that
of either beef, veal, mutton or pork.
Neither is it unusual to find adver-
tisements of dog meat or for the pur-
chase of dogs for slaughter.

Desperate Remedies.
By DON CAMERON sHAFER,

1t was just before daybreak-the
darkest hour Of the night. The shut
tiers of third-story window in a
large summer hotel noiselessly opened
and heavy object was cautiously
lowered to the ground. A young
man In fashionable clothes, gripping
a heavy handbag in his teeth and an
umbrella and cane under his arm,
slid hurriedly down the rope to the
ground. With nervous fingers he
united his suitcase, tiptoed out of the
yard, and started at a trot across
lois to the station a mile and a half
away.
The first golden beams were dane
ing across the eastern hills as the
young man neared the depot. The
sleeper whistIed sharply for the sta~
tion and he quickened his pace into a
mad run, needless OF his aching arms
and the sand in his low shoes.
TITS bad getaway" muttered the
young man three minutes later in the
smoker as he wiped his steaming
face. "but my bills are all paid. I
left tips for the servants and hur-
ried note explaining that an uncle
had died in Honduras or some other
place. It certainly was desperate

devoted his whole time and thought
to their execution. Although the
task is not yet complete, there are
but few vacant spaces on the walls
of the little building. Very nearly
two hundred paintings, illustrating
the Scriptures, have emanated from
the fertile brain and gifted brush of
this artist.
The chapel was finished in 1894,
after considerable difficulty had been
experienced by Mrs. Quincy in find
ing a site that suited her. In that
year Mr.. Shields began work on his
paintings. The little building has
been open for few weeks now to
thO general public. AS one enters
and looks around one may see the
whole story of the Bible told by the
pictures on the four %alls. The
scheme begins over the gallery arch
with the creation of man, followed
by the union of man and woman On
the south wall is pictured ''The Good
ly Fellowship of the Prophets" be-
ginning with Enoch, caught up and

ing with rivers of blood, ending with
Malachi, who looks back on his pre-
decessors and points across the space
of the channel to the north wall to
John the Baptist and his successors,
"The Glorious Company of the
Apostles" Some are preaching,
others praying, prophesying, confess
ing sins, beholding the beatific Wis
ions, or standing triumphant as mar
tyrs. Below the Prophets and the
Apostles are small subject pictures;
above, in intimate relation with these
figures, are angels performing mis-
sions of mercy and judgment; while
alternating the figures are large
paintings, giving spiritual renderings
of the familiar stories OF the Gospels
and of the incidents of the Acts of
the Apostles.
But 1t is to the east wall where

seen almost any day in the streets
of Malta.
The vehicle belongs to an elderly
lady who has come down in the
world, and this clumsy calessa is
practically the only remaining testi-
mony to her former greatness. The
old dame is very religious, and,
though poor, still drives to and from
church in her remarkable carriage.
1t speaks volumes for her courage
that she should consent to enter the
calessa at all, for If the horse were to
fall, the occupant would have quite
as uncomfortable an experience as
the unfortunate tenant of hanson
cab when the steed comes to grief
And when one considers that the
horse attached to her conveyance is
quite as out-of-date as the chariot,
the aged lady's pluck seems greater
than ever.
Still noblesse oblige, and true to the
traditions Of her erstwhile grandeur,
the aged dame sallies forth in all the
pride, pomp and circumstances of her
crazy carriage, and will no doubt
continue to do so until death claims
either her or her ancient horse.

surfing his wakefulness, was the sdon-
key"-a small, fat board attached to

This prize money sometimes amount

allowing tub or two from every

Chief officers were dismissed for do

account or for looking the other
way while a "run" was accom-

time become for patrols to allow
themselves to be surprised and
bound-of course, for "considera-
ton that it was enacted that a
lookout man who could not show am
pie proofs of resistance should be
held to have connived. The men
were armed with cutlass, a pair of
pistols and blue light to give the
alarm.
AS the discipline of the force i'm
proved so also did the alertness of the
smugglers increase. 1t was found
necessary for the night patrols to
wear plain clothes, while the look
out points had to be constantly
changed and each mans place of duty
only communicated to him at the very
moment of his setting out. The not
unnatural desire for some compan-
ionship in the lonely night watches
led to the keeping of too large a num-
Der of dogs about the stations. Dom

ions from the nearest towns, at times

STRANGEST CHAPEL
IN THE WORLD

In the very heart of London, Eng
land, not far distant from the Marble
Arch, there stands ono of the strang.
est temples of worship in the whole
world. 1t is called the Chapel of
the Ascension, and it contains no pull
pit, no altar, no font, no band Of
choristers. No services are held in
it and no priest or minister crosses
its threshold except as visitor. The
chapel is place not of Christian rou-
tine and service, but simply where
a man or woman may rest while
and commune with his own soul amid
pictured walls" as the notice which
hangs over the door says.
The chapel is the idea of Mrs. Rus
sell Quincy, who, during her life
time, was member of one of the
best known families in London. She
received her Inspiration from a small
chapel in Florence and conceived the
idea OF building a, place of commu-
MON in the heart of London, set
apart for rest and filled with conse-
Grated art.
But while the purpose of the chap
ell itself is unique, more remarkable
still are the religious paintings that
cover its walls from floor to ceiling.

the famous English painter and friend
and contemporary of Ruskin, Dante,
