Straghten Parliament

Washington, April 20.--A bill au-
thorizing the president to make with
drawals of public lands for the pns'
poses OF conservation was passed by
the house today The session was
devoted to the consideration Of the
measure, which, it was stated, met
the approval OF the president
As the bill was passed practically
in the form introduced by Pickett, Of
Iowa, under the terms of the meas
IRE the president is authorized to
Withdraw from location etc, public
lands in the United States and in
Alaska for public uses and for ex-
animation and classification to de-
termine their character and value,
These Withdrawals, the bill provides,
would remain in force until revoked
by the president or by congress.
The administration railroad bill
and resolution authorizing the ex-
penditure of $65,000 for an extension
of the senates inquiry into the cost
of living occupied the attention of
the senate, but no action was taken
on either measure.
Senator Purcell spoke in opposi-
tion to the railroad bill, declaring
that 1t was the purpose of the admin
istration to change the personnel of
the United States supreme court so
as to reverse former decisions on the
rights OF states TO control questions
involving railroad litigation
Following Purcells speech the SEN
ate engaged in a long wrangle over
parliamentary ENHANCEMENT reIat.
ing to the status of the amendments
offered by Senators Crawford and
Cummins TO the provision legalizng
traffic agreements between railroad
companies.
The condition was relieved by the
acceptance by Senator EllIins of the
Crawford amendment as a substitute
for the original provision. The eff
ltCl was 10 give IHt fidUttHleHt the
standing Of committee amendment
and permit Cumins to present his sug
gestion as an amendment to the sec
tion as thus modified. The Crawford
provision requires that such agree
ments shall be subject to the ap-
proval of the interstate commerce
commission, but does not specifically
require that this approval shall be
vouchsafed before the agreements go
into effect
Unwilling to take any chances on
this point, Cummins presented a sub
stitute specifying that the approval
should antedate the taking effect of
agreements. As Cummins desired to
speak at length on the subject, the
senate adjourned without taking ac.
tion on either provision.

Stewa rdshlp Of Wealth.

There is no people In the world like
the American in the number OF men
and women who look upon their title
to wealth as involving stewardship and
disposition of income and principal
for public ends During the last II
years the amount Of gifts, in sums of
$1,000 or more, to religious, educa-
tional, philanthropic and civic causes,
has been many millions over billion
dollars, the record for the year just
closing amounting TO Sal 100000, or
sac, 100000 more than during any pre-
vious year Add to this the enormous
sum that is given each year In sums
smaller than $1,000, given either as
regular contributions to religious, edu-
cational and charitable causes, or left
as requests for the same 'uplift" ends,
and II begins to appear why the agita-
tor against wealth, as In OF itself a
pernicious thing, finds this country
less favorable to his revolutionary
propaganda than he wishes 1t were.

BARY's CHARMED LIFE.

A strange but fully authenticated
wolf story comes from the western
government of Volhynia. A poor
peasant woman carrying her baby
daughter started from the small
township Of Ovrutch to walk to the
village of Naradisch, a distance of
some twenty miles. A section of the
road skirted the forest, and here the
unfortunate muzhittsa was attacked
by wolves and literally devoured.
The extraordinary feature of the in
cident, in itself common enough
during the winter season, is that the
infant, alive and well and perfectly
unframed, was found within cou-
pie Of PAGES from its mothers ghast-
ly remains. The wolf-pack, num-
bering 13 animals, was seen in the
same neighborhood on the following

His Honor,

Some men," said Andrew Carnegie,
have very queer ideas OF honor.
Il was once riding from Pittsburg
to Philadelphia in the smoking com
partment of Pullman. There were
perhaps six of US in the compartment,
smoking and reading. All of a sud
den door banged and the conductors
voice cried
All tickets, pleased
Then one of the men In the COM
partment leaped to his feet, scanned
the faces OF the rest of US, and said,
slowly and impressively:
Gentlemen, trust to your honor
And he diven under the seat and
remained there in a small, silent knot
till the conductor was safely gone"

Why Men Like Widows.

Widows know how to sympathise-
how to make his stay so pleasant that
when he does tear himself away his
sole desire Is TO return.
She knows how to touch the sympa-
thetic chord to make each ones partic-
ular pride vibrate.
Every man feels more OF less pleased
with himself II he gets of at the table
what he considers a wise or witty re-
mark. If his neighbors respond he
feels proud and Is doubly pleased, but
II tn yeonly smile the tone OF self-satis-
faction dies away pianissimo. Now, a
widow understands the witticism. His
most platitidinous remarks are sure to
start a symphony OF smiles on her
countenance.
AS for him-she may say anything
she pleases-if she Is fascinating
widow, he never knows what she says,
but only hears the music OF her voice.

TrIoks Of the Diplomatic Trade.

According to Mr.. Griffith Boscawen.
Bismarck drank eight lemon sQuashes
In the course of one speech. The
Iron Chancellor's naturally fine pow
ers Of suction were. however, devel-
oped by his diplomatic training. On
one occasion he boasted that In his
youth he drank bottle of champagne
at one draught from puzzle goblet
so constructed that one could not
bring It close to ones lips, yet one
was not allowed to spill a drop. Not q
single drop fell on my waistcoat
but said: Give me another .
Every one was Intensely surprised,
Such tricks were formerly an indis.
pensable part of the diplomats trade.
They drank the weaker vessels under

know out of them, and made them
agree to things contrary to their In

sober they could not imagine why they
