Rice introduced resolution that all

public treasury be referred first to the
Finance Committee without debate.
Kaleiopu objected to this, saying
he did not think II fair to shut OF dc.

measures ought to be examined into.
Rice stated that he introduced the
resolution to keep down the size Of the
journal, which promised to be entirely
too big. II brought this In to save
time and save money in the printing OF
the Journal" he said. When com.
mittee brings in a report II usually
takes up two pages OF the journal, and
usually is hardly read.
Sheldon wanted to know whether
chance for debate would be given or
whether debate would be muzzled In

measures would come up for debate in
Committee Of the Whole. But he did
not insist upon his resolution. n the

suicide Of Doria Manfredi. q beautiful

swallowed poison.
Two years ago, when the girl was
blossoming into a most fascinating
wou1anhood, her father died. She was
left homeless and in want. Peasant

He took her into his villa as serving

Doria became as useful about the
villa az she was Ornamental. She

FITTED TO A A
From Old Moo,

From Old Moore's Monthly Messenger.
Some time ago, being in company
with a medical man, whom I will call
Mr.. RI, we fell into conversation
management Of which he was an
adept. Now" said he, "I will tell
you a story OF what happened to my
self-one, which, I think, we'll illus
trates h importance of this fnstru-
ment to society, though 1 was put in a
very unpleasant position owing to my
acquaintance with it.
IT have, as you know, given a good
deal OF attention to comparative anat-
omy, especially to the structure Of the
hair as it appears under the micro
scope. To the unassisted eye, indeed,
all hair appears very much alike, ex-
cept as it is long or short, dark or
Under the microscope, however, the
case Is very different: the white mans
Ia round; the negro's oval, the mouse's
apparently jointed; the bats Jagged;
and 80 or. Indeed, every animal has
hair of a peculiar character, and, what
ing to the part OF the body from which
1t Is taken-an important circumstance,
as will appear from my story, which
is this:
IT once received a letter by post,
containing a few hairs. with a request
tnaI l Woulu examine IneIl, ana aQQlnS
that they would be called for in a few
days. Accordingly, I submitted the
hairs to the microscope, when I dis
covered that they were from the hu-
man eyebrow, and had been bruised. I
made a note to this effect, and folded
1t up with h hairs in an envelope,
ready for the person who had SEM
them. In a few days a stranger called
and inquired whether I had made the
investigation. oh, yes,' I said, there
they are, n you will find them and
their description in this envelope
handing it to him at the same time.
He expressed himself al being much
however, I declined, telling him that I
could O think of taking anything for

lit turned out, however, of more
consequence than I had imagined, for
within a week l was served with a
subpoena to attend az a witness on q
trial for murder. This was very dis
was no help for it now. The case was
this: A man had been killed by a blow
with some blunt instrument on the
eyebrow, and the hairs sent to me for
examination had been taken from
hammer in the possession of the sus-
witness box, and my testimony that
the hairs were from h human eye
brow, and had been Bruised was just
the link in the chain Of evidence which
sufriced to convict the prisoner. The
Jury, however. were not easily satisfied
thing;and 1t required the solemn as
OF the Judge that such q con-
clusion vas within the reach Of science,
to convince them hat they might act
upon It.
Zone juryman in particular-an old
tarmer-was very hard to satisfy. Does
thee mean to say said he, that thee

cousins, with their pleasant boast
written for them by an American, in
cidentally-that the reveille of Brit
aims outposts marks the hours all

the great American baseball game,
with their old reveille.
It's getting 10Y that baseball Is in
season, somewhere. all the year

States was getting fairly started. Out
in the Philippines the soldiers do q
good deal of ball playing when the
snow is a foot deep Of the famous
diamonds in this country: and in
southern California they start a new
season about the time the regular
schedule Is played out in the east. In
short, the great American game Of
baseball is in season somewhere or 9TH
er during the entire year.
Play After Supper Hour.
Everything a to make way for
baseball. In some cities they are put
ting the daylight conservatism
movement on trial, chiefly because the
men want to start early and close in
season to see the ball game before din
ner. Up in Canada, where the rush of
American immigrants has swept the
baseball game into such favor that
cricket is q bad second, thev start
the game after supper and have plenty
OF daylight in which to play out an ex-
ira inning contest. What IL 1t does
last till 9 or $3.50? That's as good q
time for baseball as it is for a theater,
If the daylight holds out; and 1t does,
