"That is easlly done" said the artist.
SO he carried off the painting and sent
1t back In week or two with the fig

market, with her basket and her red
umbrella, Introduced on the road In

the pictures proprietor. Meeting short
ly after with the "impresslonlst" who
had painted It, the artist remarked:

REPORTED TO SENATE
Bill to Regulate the Practice Of
Granting Injunctions.
CHANGES PRESENT METHOD
Measure Intended to Meet Conditions
Such as Have Recently Arisen in
Railroad Cases in Minnesota, North
Carolina and Other States.

Washington, April 14.-Through
Senator Overman (N. CO. the senate
committee on judiciary favorably re-
ported a bill regulating the practice of
granting injunctions by United States
courts restraining the enforcement of
state statutes The bill provides that
no circuit or district court shall issue
such temporary injunctions on the
ground of uncons titutionality until
testimony shall have been taken by
three judges, at least two of whom
shall be circuit Judges. 1t requires
five days notice of such proceeding
to the governor and attorney general
of the state involved unless in cases
in which the loss of so much time may
work irreparable damage, when a tenn
porary order may be issued. The bill
also provides for direct appeal of
such cases to the supreme court of
the United States and gives them
precedence there It is intended to
meet conditions such as have recently
arisen in Minnesota, North Carolina
and other states.

"Panama" Was Good.

Panama." the new comedy
arama, in which Margaret Minton
is being featured, played to a small
but very appreciative audience at
the City Opera House last night.
The company gave very creditable
performance, and apparently pleased
all present.
Miss Minton is a very clever
little actress, who has been seen on
the local stage a number of times.
Her support was very good, espec-
tally Henry Gurvey as Dave, "
Howard Brandon as "Maduro," J.
C. Kline as Her," E. H. Nestell as
Lopez" Miss Grace Shaw as
"Samanthy" and Miss Elsie
Thomaier as Gertrude"
The company carries some beauti-
tul scenery, and taken all in all, it
was very satisfactory production
and deserved much larger patronage.
Miss Mlnton will return to Be.
midi next season in a new comedy,
Tanning A Tigress," which is being
written especially for her.

OPPOSES THE ALDRICH BILL
Twin City Delegation Appears Before
House Committee


Washington, April AS. A. Harris,
president of the National Bank of
Commerce of Minneapolis, a member
of delegation representing some of
the bus mess interests of Minneapolis
and st. Paul, appeared before the
house committee on banking and cur
rency in opposition to the Aldrich bill
in it's present form. 1t would greatly
curtail the ability of the banks, he
said, to accommodate the borrowing
public-the business men. They also
objected, he said, to the La Toilette
amendment prohibiting bankers from
lending money to any firm or corpora
tion in which the directors may be
interested, as this would take away
from the directory of the banks the
best elements in their community.
He thought there should be no legis-
lation at this time.
d. S. Culver, cashier of the German
American National bank of st. Paul;
j. N. Jackson, representing the St.
Paul Jobbers and Manufacturers as
ISOLATION; F. B. Wells, representing
the Minneapolis chamber of COM
merce; George H. Partridge, repre-
senting the jobbers and manufacturers
of Minneapolis; George G. Powers,
president of the Second National bank
of st. Paul, and F. M. Prince, presi-
dent of the First National bank Of
Minneapolis, all opposed the Aldrich
bill. They said they saw no neces-
sity for an emergency currency bill at
the present time and favored well
considered permanent bill.

Promoting Arbitration.
Washington, April 14.-Considera-
ton of the naval appropriation bill
was resumed in the house of represen-
tatives. General debate having been
concluded the reading of the measure
for amendment was begun. No sooner
was this done than Mr.. Hobson (Ala.)
offered an amendment appropriating
100000 for promoting the cause of
International arbitration, the sum to
be expended by the executive commit
tee of the American group of the In
terparliamentary union. Mr.. Hobs n
and Mr.. Bastholdt (Mo.) spoke in sup
port of the amendment, but on point
of order by Mr.. Foss Qll.) it was
ruled out as not being germane to the
bill.
An amendment by Mr.. Foss to in
crease the payments of officers Of the
navy and marine corps and one by
Mr.. Bartholdt prohibiting naval or
marine bands from accepting private
employment for pay were ruled out on
points of order.

The thing looked like a full
rugged ship. There were six or
seven feathers trimmed to starboard
and bellying like colored canvas in
the fresh breeze. And say, that
woman was a skipper, some skipper.
The way she beat up against that
wind, lacking and trimming her
feathers, was great, ripping
feet. When she turned corner it
looked as though everything was
going by the board. 1t seemed a
case of cut away the wreckage and
rig the weather canvas" Not for a
minute, however. Although the
old ship did ship a little water
through her lee scuppers when she
rounded the buoy and it looked like
a capsize, the skipper was there with
the celery compound nerve and
nursed the brig through the surf.
