CLAY ASSAILS KEAN'S RULING
FLAGRANT VIOLATION OF
RULES, DECLARES GEORGIAN.
Objects to Failure of Chair to Rec.
ognize Him on Call for Division
and on Point of Order.

IAN open and fragrant violation of the
rules of the Senate" was the character
ization by Senator Clay of Georgia, or
the floor of the Senate this morning. ap-
piled to a ruling of the chair made yes
terday afternoon by Senator kean of New
Jersey.
Mr.. Clay was still angry because the
chair had refused to pay any attention
to him late yesterday afternoon. when
he arose to a point of order, and again
when he demanded a division and a roll
call on Senator Aldrich's motion to ad-
journ.
According to a standing order of the
Senate recess must be taken every
afternoon at $50 O'Clock until O'Clock
unless that order is modified by the will
of the Senate. A few minutes before $40
o clock yesterday Mr.. Aldrich moved to
adjourn until today. stating that Senator
Warren of Wyoming, who wanted to
speak at length on the wooden schedule,
preferred to take the floor today.
Mr.. Clay interposed with the suggestion
that something else could be taken up AT
the night session and the business of the
Senate advanced that much farther.
Mr.. Aldrich insisted that his motion was
not debatable and that 1t be put. He had
the time of the regularly ordered recess
to arrive before the motion was adopted.
Mr.. kean, who was in the chair. was
on the job He declared that the 'regu-
lar order had been demanded and was
about to put the motion to adjourn.
Instantly Mr.. Clay announced that he
wished to make a point of order. Mr..
Kean paid no attention. Several times
Mr. Clay repeated this statement, with
the same result
When the motion was put there were
responses in the affirmative and the mega
tive Before the result was announced
Mr. Clay called first for division and
then for a roll call. which any senator
has a right to do under the rules.
But Mr.. kean still did not hear him
though he shouted at the top of his voice
The chair announced the motion carried
and the Senate adjourned until this
morning.
In making his protest today Mr. Clay
said the point of order which he wished
to state yesterday afternoon was that
the hour of $50 o'clock had arrived and
that no motion 10 adjourn could be put
as the Senate stood in recess by a pre-
vious order. He also said he had clearly
asked for division and a roll call before
the result was announced by the chair on
the Aldrich motion
Sucn high-handed proceedings, he de-
cldred, could be applied to an important
measure, just the same as on a motion
to adjourn. The result would be, he ap-
pretended, that the chair might arbi-

There are picnics and picnics: running
the gamut from the simple impromptu one
where two or three congenial spirits start
off without much preparation, to the au

perhaps fifty invited guests, and maybe

HOW TO ADDRESS ENVELOPES
FOR THE VARIOUS LETTERS

Much might be written on the subject
of how 10 address an envelope, for,
simple as the process seems, the way
in which it is done indicates breeding and
education on the part of the writer,
and a girl who knows how to address
properly will increase her commercial
value If she has a clerical position. II II

When writing 10 a married woman,

Appellation Given King George by
6oatsWain Wa Little Like
Instructions.

On a certain occasion, when George
III. proposed to visit a man-of-war
at Portsmouth, the captain, who was
a religiously disposed man, was
thrown into great CONSERVATION lest
his crew or the officers under him
should fail in proper respect.
The boatswain, though an inval-
liable seaman, was a particular
source of fear; and, knowing from
the familiar habits of his majesty
that he would probably have some
thing to say to each one on board,
the captain called this man aside and
informed him how he should be-
have.
"Mind especially" said the cap
tain, "that he must always be called
your majesty"
The boatswain seemed very tract
able and the captain was pleased;
but his worst fears were verified
when, on the king addressing some
question to the boatswain, that sea-
man stammered, twitched at his
waistband in mental p~erplexity, and
at length turned towards the cap
tain, exclaiming:
"There, cap'n; hanged if | arn't
forgot it! What did you say | was
to call the old buffer?"

PRINCESS JOINS A CLUB.

Princess Christian, 63 years old,
the eldest surviving daughter of
Queen Victoria, has joined a won-
ans club in London. She did this
in her desire to live as free as pos
sible of the formalities or royalty.
One of the rules of the club is that
no men are permitted there. The
princess the day after she was elect
ed to membership went to the club
attended by a "gentleman-in-wait-
ing" Another member saw the
princess going upstairs with her es-
cort and she hurried to the manager
and complained that ''the elderly
lady who has just gone upstairs has
broken the rules by bringing a gen.
tleman friend with her." The prin-
cess takes a prominent part in char
liable works. She is the moving
spirit of the royal school of art nee
dlework, which provides work for
needy women.

AMERICAN EXPO. IN BERLIN.

An American exposition will be
held in Berlin from May to July,
1910. At the head of this EXPOSE
ton is a committee consisting of
representative business men of the
United States. A committee has
also been formed in Berlin, whose
honorary president is Prince Henry
of Prussia. The central location of
the city of Berlin, not only as the
capital of the German empire, but
also with respect to a great part
of northern, central and eastern Eu-
rope, assures a rare opportunity for
showing American products abroad
and for promoting the export trade
of the United States. AS the expo
sition is to be confined strictly to
American products, it becomes a
matter of national interest to have
the exhibits thoroughly %comprehen-
sive and of exceptional merit, so
that the exposition may serve to
strengthen the prestige of American
industries abroad.
