1t is a matter Of sincere regret that to
accomplish a political purpose or gain
some partisan advantage. the minority in
this house deemed itself justified in disre-
garding its responsibility by pursuing the
policy It has followed for almost two
fnOnths under the leadership of the dis
ringuished gentleman from Mississippi

necessary for the majority. in order to
transact any public business, TO adopt
rules of procedure under which nOn-paT-

The fact soon developed after the re-

reached the conclusion that if given an
opportunity they would dissuade him

Of obstruction. and when, after recon

the floor, it appeared as if he had been
induced to permanently surrender. He
was followed by Mr.. Gore, the blind
senator from Oklahoma. and that gem

hours when Mr.. Stone returned TO the
senate chamber and created some dis
may by stating that he had deter

as Mr.. Gore should conclude. He how
ever, afforded the Republicans their
anxiously sought opportunity when he
again retired from the chamber a few
minutes before Mr.. Gore had FINISHED

suspicious moment arrived. Some
Democratic senators had expressed the
intention of speaking briefly on the
merits of the bill, but the holding Of
the subject before the sena te for any
further time had in it such pOssibiii-
ties in the way of continuation of the

Roosevelt an Expensive Luxury.

Mr.. Fitzgerald continued:
After the War With Spain. under the
presidency of Theodore Roosevelt the
cost of maintaining the government for
the four Following years was 10 per cent
greater than during the same period when
the war was waged. Evidently Mr.
Speaker some things are expensive and

BURN OF IDAHO, WHO WAS
PROMPTLY SAT UPON.

Washington, May 03.--At 4:3O O'Clock
today the senate adopted the report OF
the conferees of the two houses of
gency bill by the decisive vote of 10
to p, and thus was taken the last con-
gressiOnal step necessary toward the
enactment of emergency currency leg
islatiOn. the legislation toward which
congress has directed its principal If
fort since i convened last December
The result came unexpectedly soOn
but not until the senate had been well
worn out by a flibuster which, while
not largely supported, made up in in
tensity what it lacked in numbers
The obstructive tactics were begun by
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin when
the report was taken up by the senate
yesterday, and after being prosecuted
by him all night, the filibuster was
continued today by Senator Stone
Democrat, Of Missouri, and Senator
Gore, Democrat, of Oklahoma. Mr.. La
Toilette broke the record as a long
distance speaker; Mr. Stone held the
floor for six hours and a half, almost
without interruption, and MI Gore
spoke for something more than two
hours.
Outlook Was Gloomy.
1t looked for a time as though ths
flibusteT might be able to continue
their tactics well into. if not through
the night. and during the afternoon
CONSERVATION was created in the SEN

thenticated, that Senator JEFF Davis

would be prepared to assist the fill
buster with a tWo-days' speech. pro-
Vided Senator La Toilette could hold
out until Monday. AS many Of the SEN
atOrs had been in their seats almost
continuously since Friday, the pros
pect of the continuation of the per
Torrance, disa agreeable as it was, in
itself, added much 10 the unpleasant
aspect of the case. Accordingly there
was general relief when, at 1870 p. m,
suggestion for a recess was re
ceived by the Republican leaders from
the Democratic side.

They Don't Like the Failure of Law
Affecting Women Wage Farmers.
The club women of Colorado are up
in arms. For years there has been a
law i'm Colorado prohibiting women
from working in factories and shops
more than eight hours day. or more
than forty eight hours week. Re-
Gently this law has been declared un-
constitutional.
The women of Colorado are reported
to be more stirred up over 1t than any
thing that has happened SINCE they
received the ballot. A local paper
published a cartoon showing the SUI
preme court handing this decision to
sad faced laundry girl, while behind
her and holding her hand looms tall,
resolute looking woman, labeled
"Woman's Clubs. saying to the court:
This un-American act of yours has
done more for the woman wage Garner
than all the organization and legisla-
ton could have done in years An
other paper reports a club woman as
saying of the Judge who handed down
the decision: "Oh, Judge Blank!
Well, you know he always had spine
like jelly--ielly that wouldn't jell.'

SHELTER FOR QUAIL.
Missouri Farmers Plan of Growing
Sugar Cane to Stand in the Winter.

Missouri Farmers Plan of Growing
Sugar Cane to Stand in the Winter.
William E. McCulley of Macon coun-
ty thinks he has solved the problem
OF preserving quail. He owns quite a
large farm, and he discovered that
quail were becoming more and more
scarce each year. Then he set about
studying the cause and came to the
conclusion that it was lack of shelter
Since then he has every spring plant
ed sugar cane along the side OF the
hollows of his farm and permits the
same to stand during the winter. 1t
affords the quail not only food but
shelter of the kind they like. Other
farmers in Boone, Galloway and sew
eral counties of the state have adopted
Mr.. McCulley's plan, and they think
1t is JUST what was needed.
1t is fact that quail will not stay
where they cannot find shelter. In
many of the best counties there is very
little natural shelter left, as every foot
OF available ground is under cultiva-
ton. In such localities it has been OBJ
served IL It the quail have nearly all
left, and it seems pretty well settled
that they will never return unless ar
tllicial shelter is provided for them.
Sugar cane, when thickly planted,
furnishes just what these birds seem
to want. They are very fond of the
seed, and, as the season advances, the
cane stalks fell down and provide
thick mass in which the quail can hide
from their natural enemies, hawks and
owls, and also affords a nesting place
In the spring and summer.

FROM ONE IN FOREIGN PARTS
Some Things That Are Different In the
City of PHILADELPHIA,


In Philadelphia the policemen all
wear very long coats, INDEBTED, which
gives the impression that they have
on long blue cloth nightgowns. They
look rather farmerish. The mounted
squad is very trim and workmanlike,
however, in appearance. The men
wear caps with two bands of yellow,
which give very dashing effect. The
mounted police ride very well, almost
as well as the state constabulary.
The city is very dry on Sundays, an
the saloons being tight closed. How
ever, 1t Is not impossible to get drink
If you have the proper combination.
One man in hotel on Sunday who
wanted drink told one OF the hall
boys. The latter went away and after
a long absence returned to the room,
moving with great mystery. From
each OF his hip pockets the boy re-
moved bottle OF beer, both bottles
being very damp as If they had just
come off the ice somewhere.
The railroad restaurant In the Broad
street station is a great place for Phil
delphians to eat, and 1t serves anoth.
er purpose on Sundays. While the
voyager was eating there at the lunch
counter man came in and bought
loaf OF bread. The bakers do not do
business on Sunday afternoons.

SHUTDOWN DOCTORS.
Peculiar to Washington and Practice
Only After 4:3O p. M.

Shutdown doctors" are an institu-
ton peculiar to Washington city.
They are an amiable company of
medical practitioners who ply their
trade only after nightfall
Not that these gentlemen prefer
darkness to light if they had their
druthers, says the Louisville Courier
Journal, nor are their deeds of ques-
tionable complexion that looks best
in the shade.
Shutdown doctors have no ways that
are dark or tricks that are vain. They
are as OPEN as the day that they may
not utilize If they practice their
profession by candle-light rather than
by the sunshine that's uncle Sans
fault, not their own.
Shutdown doctors begin to get busy
only after 4:30 in the afternoon.
From 8 to that hour, poor souls, they
are holding their noses to the grind
stones over the government desks for
one must live, don't you know, how
ever soaring ones r"iantific ambition,
and Uncle Sans wages do come in

q pigeonhole is the story of the origin
of the struggl ing fraternity OF sun
down physicians Of the federal capital.
There are thousands Of instances.
Young physicians with their careers

Of the governmental departments OF
Washington in order to keep the pot
bubbling while they are getting their
medical education after Office hours.
Their diplomas thus laboriously
achieved, they hang out their shingles

their government positions until Sc
curely established professionally. A

PET NAM ES VARY.
In France "My Little Pig" Is Term
of Endearment

The terms employed by the people
of one nation as the choicest phrases
In their vocabulary of endearment are
purposes by other people. One of the
most familiar and most coveted
phrases of endearment among the
French, for instance, is MY little
pig!" and My little puppy dog is
also much appreciated. When a
French husband calls his wife "cat."
she does not fly into passion of re-
sentiment, as IN Englishman's wife
might do under the same circum-
stances, but takes it as gentle COM
pliment. On the other hand, il he
were to call her "a duck" as the Brit
ish husband might to his wife, she
would be very much offended
Some time ago, in Germany, letters
written by the late Count Won Moltke
to his betrothed were published. In
these the great soldier frequently call
ed the lady My little kernel of cot
fee" This strikes one as very queer
pet name, and has suggested to a Gym
ical authority that, in view of the
writer's profession, MY little grain of
powder or My little lump of lead"
would have been more appropriate.
A persons individual likings and
occupation frequently supply him with
terms Of endearment. A farmer some
times calls his little girl his colt"
and well known fisherman, to whom
the creatures of the brook were as the
apple Of his eve, used to begin his let
tiers to his wife when ON his fishing
expeditions with the words, my dear
little speckled trout"
