TARIFF BILL
BEFORE SENATE
Finance Committee Makes Many
Changes in the Schedules

WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE
senate began IT'S consideration OF
the Payne tariff bill this morning.
and because Of the large number Of
changes which have been made in 1t
by the senate committee on finance
1t probably will be henceforth known
as the Payne-Aldrich bill.
The measure was reported to the
senate today. The bill as first intro
duced in the house has been under
consideration by both the majority
and minority members Of the finance
committee. The republican majority
has assumed the right to indicate the
senate's attitude toward the bill.
Not Many Set Speeches.
1t is not expected that a great
many set speeches will be made in
the senate. Most Of the discussion BY
the democrats will be on the merits
of the amendments now offered.
me general policy OF republican
members will be to do very little
talking. The prevailing opinion is
that no less than a month will be re-
quired for consideration OF the bill
by the senate.
The house, while the senate is
wrestling with the tariff bills will
meet only on Mondays and Thurs
days. when the census bill, as passed
by the senate, will receive attention,
but little or no other buiness will be
undertaken. Speaker Cannon will
begin to prepare for the appointment
of the house standing committees.
which probably will be announced
prior to the final adjournment Of the
extra session.

the redmen become voters. The ef-

While the civil service rules will
not permit employees to advise or d.

the Indians as TO their rights and
while employees may not become ac-

Why He Rang Again.

Reporters are prOverbially persist
ent. On a certain occasion a reporter
went to a certain residence in New
York to get the details Of an accident
which had happened to member OF
the family. AS rule, such details
are easy to get, and the news-gatherer
was rudely surprised when the lady
who came to the door with scarcely a
word slammed it In his face. A writer
in the New York Times tells the story.
She retired into the house. Present.
ly the door-bell rang furiously. She
refused to stir. Again the door-bell
rang, more furiously than before. Still
the lady would not stir.
Il have told him that I don't want
to say anything about the matter" she
thought to herself, land he has no
right to be so persistent
So she sat still while the door-bel]
rang again and again and again.
At last she could stand it no longer
So, opening a window over the front
door, she poked her head out and re
marked, severely:

Com fort for Plain Women.

Plain women exist, and form def
mite factor In our social economy
Not all of us are blessed with good
features, soft eyes, fine figure and
clear complexion. Some of us are
born with dull skins, wide mouths and
snub noses, and not all the arts of
dress and toilet can make us pretty,
or even presentab1e.
But all the same, plain women live
and thrive, and now and then make
brilliant marriages, says Mrs. Fitz-
roy Stewart in the Strand. In fact.
one has only to use ones eyes to see
that some ugly women have for men
quite a weird power of attraction
History teaches us this; for we are
told, in several instances, of uncomely
women who have ruled the destinies
of men and nations.
Catherine of Russia and Nine. de
Maintenon had no looks; and Mary,
Queen of Scots, who has gone down to
fame as beauty, appears in her pic
lures as thin, small-eyed, and hard
featured. Indeed, only one portrait
Is said to exist in which she is shown
as fair-haired and lovely. and this
hangs in Dalkeith palace, and belongs
to the Duke Of Baccleuch.

A Cheerful Home.

A single bitter word may disquiet
an entire family for a whole day; one
surly glance casts shadow over the
household But smile may light up
the darkest and dreariest hours. No
matter how humble the abode, If it is
thus garnished with grace and kind
ness, the heart will turn lovingly to-
ward it from the tumult of the world
without. The gentle grace Of the
mother of such home remains to be
seen in her daughter and the fatherly
kindness finds It's echo in the nobility
and courtesy Of the sons. On the
other hand, from an unhappy, mis-
governed home, go forth those who
will make other homes unhappy and
perpetuate the sadness, contentious
and strife of their own early lives
