THIRTY-NINTH DAY.

The fact that the members OF the leg
stature are anxious to finish up the
work ahead of them was demonstrated
when the members of the Iiouse decided
to hold a night session, for the transac-
ton of legislative floor work. In addi-
ton to a number of bills passed, several
other matters received attention. Nota-
bic among these was the adoption of a
privilege resolution offered by Mr.. Acorn
to appropriate the sum of $3.50, to be
used in the proper entertainment of Mr..
Bryan on Saturday. In moving the adop-
ton Of the resolution, Mr.. Alcorn stated
that il was nothing but right that they
show their appreciation Of their expected
guest by taking proper steps to do him
honor, and the House passed the resoiu-
ton without dissent, the money to be
set aside out of the contingent fund.
The House also tonight passed, by a
rising vote, the Vance joint resolution
memorialzing Congress to pass a law au-
,thorizing the secretary of the treasury
to pro rate the war cotton tax funds now
held in the United States treasury to the
cotton States of the South, to be dis
tributed among the soldiers and sailors
Of the Confederacy, or their dependent
widows. The resolution calls on the
members of Congress and senators from
the State to take all proper steps to en-
compass the passage Of such a law by
Congress.

F~ORTY.SECOND DAY.

A notable victory for the advocates OF
county prison reform and for putting an
end to the leasing Of county conyicts was
scored today when the Senate, by n vote
of % to Is on reconsideration, passed
the Hebron bill. prohibiting the leasing
OF county convicts to so-called contract,
ors. There was . spirited and long
drawn out conflict IN the floor, but those
who favor a departure from the custom
f leasing conyicts literally snatched
victory from the jaws of defeat.
After a full and free discussion the
Senate this afternoon, by q decisive vote,
laid on the table the Mctiehee bill pro.
viding for the sale Of the old capital and
grounds, or rather recommitted the bill
The House adopted, without debate.
the joint resolution to memorabilia Con,
gress to adopt such laws as will lead to a
broadening Of the market for cotton
goods.
Two bills, one to improve on the pres,
ent game laws and the other to increase
the pay Of the enlisted men Of the Ma.
tionaI Guard, were called up, considered
and after much discussion were indcii,
nitely postponed.

FORTy.FIRST DAY.

The House committee on railroads held
a final meeting this. afternoon to con.
slider the bills and propositions before 1t
r%clativ, to reduction of passenger rates
on The roads in Mississippi. There was
an animated though good nHtured session
when the final question, "What will we
do with it," was canyasscd. The result
was that by a vote OF 0 to it was de
cidcd to report back unfavorably all
bills with the rate reduction plan in
view. This is in line with the action of
the Senate committee in voting down the
same proposition. There will be Il mi
nority report, but under the rules any
bill with an adverse report goes to the
back of the calendar, only to be called
up by unanimous consent out OF order,
The chances of any legislative action on
railroad rates is therefore very slim.
In both branches a debate was had on
the subject OF constitutional prohibition.
The House reconsidercd the vote on the
same proposition had several days ago,
when it was found that the friends Of
constitutional prohibition had gained n
number of adherents. The ultimate set.

This is a good big square house rs

prices, Just the kind Of house to sup

veranda gives an air of elegance &c
what would otherwise be a rather
plain exterior, To save expense the

four to six adults and children,
A bedroom down stairs is liked by
Old persons because they object &c
climbing stairs. This style of house
permits the building of a bedroom ant

ranged.
Putting the pantry away back In the
northwest corner has the advantage
of GOODNESS. You can't have n pantry
too cold In a house that is heated
by steam, hot water or furnace. The
arrangement Of kitchen. dining room

The House passed the bill to amend

The fight against the bill to regulate

HINTS ON HOW TO DARN.
win Be Found Very Helpful to the
Busy Housewife.

The darning of narrow lace edges
is a NEST difficult matter.
II the tear Is a serious one the
edges of the lace can be basted upon
the selvages of the muslin and placed
in the embroidery hoop,
Care must be taken not to sew into
the muslin.
If the edge is destroyed entirely or
in part, the lace may be basted upon
white letter paper, aud stitched sever
al times to form a new edge and
crossthreads stitched TO hold this
edge in place, then the paper pulled
away and the remaining stitches pat
in on the machine or by hand
Hamburg edgtngs and insertions can
be darned In the same way, They
should preferably he free OF starch
and smoothly troned to facilitate per,
feet work.
White mosquito netting that has
been washed will be found TO give a
good foundation for darninG coarsely
woven underwear on the machine, and
soft black mosquito netting should Ice
basted under the holes In the knees
of boys stockings,
II should be bastcd directly across
the hole and the machine darning be
done directly upon It. The rough
edges and threads can aftcrward be
trimmed away,
When You are through darning upon
the machine, do not forget 70 replace
the pressure on the pressure foot and

wise you may be much puzzled the
next time you so to the machine and
wonder why 1t wont make "A stitch
