POSTAL SAVINGS NEXT WEEK
An Agreement Reached in the Senate to Vote on the Measure Thurs
 day Next.

Washington. Feb. 26.-The vote on the postal savings bank bill will be taken in the senate on the legislative day of March 3. That will be next Thursday. After weeks of fruitless effort in this direction Senator Carter obtained unanimous consent shortly after the conclusion of the speech of Mir. Bailey in opposition to the bill. Delay in reaching an agreement has been due largely to the insistence of Democratic senators that MT. Bailey be heard before they would agree to any time fixed.
 Senator Burton of Ohio offered an amendment to the bill with the pur- pose in view of barmonizing conflict ing elements. His amendment requires postal funds to be deposited so far as possible and practicable in local insti- tutions and in the matter of invest ment provides for a reserve adequate to meet estimated withdrawals and investment of postal funds through the purchase of the securities of the goy4rnment or of state or city bonds as authorized in the reeland-Aldrich law, enacted to provide an emergency currency and in loans to banks on ap- proved security This amendment, 1t was said has the approval of the ad- ministration

50 DAYS A SENATOR
GORDON OF MISSISSIPPI DELiv- BRED A FAREWELL ADDRESS
 TO THE SENATE.
HIS LEES AMBITION SATISFIED
Born Millionaire And Never Happy Until Rid of His Surplus Money Venerable Southerner Given Close Attention by Entire Senate.

Washington, Feb 26.-A farewell unusual in the senate's history was delivered by James oGrdon, senator rom Mississippi, who said good-by to the senators with whom he had served for the last SO days. Practically the entire senate listened with rapt atten- ton to the address of the venerable Mississippian
 Beginning with the statement that the deadlock in Mississippi had been broken and that MT. Percy had been chosen to take his place, Col Gordon said that he had felt desire to ex- press his feeling towards the senate before returning to his home in Mis- sissippi.
 He then told how, when five years old, he had been given a toy board which was checked over with different objects, some of them good and some Of them bad. One of these objects was the capitol of the United States and his mother had told him, he said. that If he would be good and would live a correct life he might some day hope to sit in the seat of the big man who was pictured there
 She never had told me a lie and knew that what she said was true I knew that l would some day occupy the seat of that big man and, God help ing me. l got there yesterday" re- ferring to the fact that for a time yes terday he had occupied the seat of the presiding officer.
 T was born a multimillionaire." said Col. Gordon, hut I never was hap py until got rid of my surplus money. spent much of it on my slaves and the rest of my funds I spent like a gentleman and got rid of the entire in. cumbrance
 'l have listened with interest 10 the speeches here and the more hear of them the sorrier I am for millionaires. Why. if there is fellow in the United States that am sorry for, it is Rocke- feller. He cant go on the street with one of his grandchildren without being afraid that someone might kill him. Why. know that he loves one of those children much better than he loves all his money.

As q Japanese Sees Us.

Tn talking to Japanese of high standing and culture who was in this country on governmental business the impression we make upon an oriental was finally extracted.
 After evading long time and pay Ing suave compliments, commenting on our energy and commercial enter. prise, he finally confessed that the two most striking characteristics seemed to him to be bad manners and bad taste.
 No one remains long in our lani without learning that our bad man ners are but the result of oyerfilling the hours with activity and that they hide a generosity, real kindliness of heart, that it would be difficult to du- plicate elsewhere in the world; but the bad taste is undoubtedly hers.-- Harpers Weekly

NEAT EATING AFFECTS SHOES
How the Spread of veeetarianism May Considerably Boost the
 Price of Footwear.

There are six really big shoe fac tories in the United States. These turned out 25,000,O00 pairs of shoes last year. Shoes to the value of s10 100000 were sent aboard, and the re mainder, valued at $24O, ,O00, 900, wers used in this country Although tho trade in rubbers increases every veal only $70.000000 was spent for sucl. things last year.
 We are told that the preaching oi vegetarianism interiors greatly with the shoe business. Last year Germans took notion to eat less meat and. ac. cording to the Bookkeeper, the shoe manufacturers in the land of the kaiser were in despair. It is neces. sary to sell great deal of meat in order that hides may be obtained without loss.
 This is another instance of the need of cooperation between manufactur. CTS of all kinds. Unless Swift and Armour and the other packers are able to sell their goods the factories in the east must do with less leather. When the factories are forced to get along with less leather the world must get along with fewer shoes, and must also pay higher price for those it does buy.
 It is interesting to know that the foreign shoe trade is constantly in creasing. American salesmen are en. tering Darkest Africa and inducing the natives to court bunions and corns by departing from their good custom of going barefoot.

OIL LAKE IN MEXICAN GULF
Believed to Be Fed from Deposits That Feed the Oil Fields of
 Texas.

Reports from ship captains entering Galveston tell of great and grow. ing lake out in the gulf which is evi. dently fed from oil deposits feeding the oil fields of Texas While 1t is known this oil lake. situated about 100 miles southeast of Galveston, has ex. isted for several years, it Is only re. gently that 1t has begun to spread out and is now reported to be more than one mile in diameter, while another ship captain said the surface of the water was covered with bubbling oil as far as their eyes could see.
 The latest report is from Capt. Net. terton of the British steamship Come. dian, just in from Liverpool He re. ports the oil bubbling from three dis tinct jets in the gulf and says the oil deposit is thickening and spreading at a rapid rate. At this point the gulf is 5,400 feet. or over a mile deep. and tremendous pressure is required to force this heavy oil through this body of water for over a mile and then shoot it out in three streams.
 A survey of the chart of the Cult and the oil fields shows that the lake in the Gulf is in direct line with the strata of oil from which the east Texas fields are supplied.
 Whether the recent hurricane, ploughing through the Gulf, has punc- tured the oil strata, or whether the release of this immense quantity of oil is due to subterranean earth quake or disruption is not known. Some experts incline to the opinion that terrific explosion in the bed of the Gull is responsible for this tap ping of the oil in the bowels of the earth.
