the Reverend Ezekiel Brown OF the
African Baptist congregation. Ma

manager OF the Phenix. In the sta
ton near by the up-country train was
getting up steam. The brides were
late, and the train that was to convey
the newly married couples would
start In a half hour.
Where were the brides? Time
passed: they had not arrived; no one
could find them. Slowly the train
pulled out, and, as IL passed the
church a dozen comely negresses and
a dozen shiftless young laborers
leaned from the windows and saluted
the gathering with ironical cheers.
Then the train passed and was swal'
lowed up in the distance. LIE man

break the silence.

He paused: he glanced over TOWARD
the magnificent emporium and his

perplexity passed over his features.
"By George!" he murmured slowly,
was It knock-down blow for Ma
thanson, after all?"

Idaho Senator Objects to Fa-

SENATOR IS sQUELCHED
Senator Bankhead Puts Quietus on the Rampant Idaho Man by Putt ting Question to Vote,

Washington, February 7.--(Special.) Senator Hepburn of Idaho perfomed in the Senate today and succeeded in getting off the bloody shirt speech ne has been practising since the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee was placed in the capitol hall of fame. The tirdidity of the Virginia congressional delega- tion in deciding not to have ceremonies qn memory of the Confederate chieftain for the time being drew the fangs of the Idaho senator but today Senator Bankhead of Alabama called up lit- tle bill granting authority to tho Con federate veterans to use certain tents belonging to the war department at khe Confederate meeting in Mobile in April. The bill was approved by the war department. It gave Senator Hey burn his opportunity, however, and in a speech he gave his objections to all lowing the rebel flag to fly over the tents belonging to the government and sheltering the rebel uniform"
 Hepburn talked reb elsA treason and war until he became red faced and. ex- hausted, he flooped down in his seat and the galleries charged with excite ment looked forward to an answering speech in kind from one of the south ern senators. They were disappointed. During the Hepburn speech the demo- crats held conference among them selves, and 1t was agreed that consid- ering the source and subject matter, the way to pierce the thick hide of the Idaho senator was to ignore him.
 Senator Bankhead, who introduced 40 bill, obtained the floor when it was relinquished by Senator Hepburn and with the statement, "I feel that the senator from Idaho feels better now" the bill was voted upon. The result was 6l to l, all the republicans and democrats on the floor of the Sen ate voting for it except Hepburn.
