How He Barely AVerted a Fierce Per-
sonal Encounter Between Sparks
Of Missouri and General
Weaver.

In December of 1881, a short time
after General ]. Warren Keifer of
Ohio had succeeded the late Samuel
]. Randall as speaker Of the house Of
representatives, / spent an evening
with the great Democrat Of western
Pennsylvania at his home few
blocks distant from the national cap
itol. Mr.. Randall lived in little two
and one-half story brick house, in a
quiet and somewhat obscure corner of
Washington, and 1t represented prac'
tically his entire savings while a
member of congress, of which he was
speaker from 1876 until change Of
party elevated Mr., Keifer in his
stead.
/ was received by Mr. Randall In
his study, little rear room on the
second floor. 1t was one mass OF
documents, books, reports and the
various printed paraphernalia Of leg
islahon. The conversation led up to
Mr. Randall's great work in 1874,
when, by leading a filibuster of forty
eight hours duration, he defeated the
obnoxious Force bill" of that year.
l remarked that he must have been
under a great strain while leading the
filibuster, which today stands as one
Of the greatest triumphs Of flibuster'
ing our house of congress has ever
known.
WELL" was the reply, at Is true
that during the forty-eight hours pre-
ceding the final adjournment OF CON
gress l was present in my seat prac-
tically every moment Of that time, In
order to see that by legislative stra-
tegy the vote on the bill was delayed
until 1t was time for congress to ad-
journ. 1t was task that involved
constant watchfulness and so 1t occa-
stoned great physical strain. Yet
from its effects l recovered complete
iy after a good nights sleep, while
from the effects of a moments men
tai strain / underwent while l was
speaker l did not fully recover until
more than a day later.
"On the whole" continued Mr. Ran
dali after a moments pause, Il think
that wap yhe most trying and exhaust
ing experience in my entire career as
speaker. 1t occurred during the clos
ing weeks Of the session of 1881. The
house was In committee Of the whole

Eastern Long Island district, In the

General Federation of Woman's
Clubs.
Miss Boswell is the woman sent by
ex-President Roosevelt to Panama
some three years ago with a rowing
commission to set to rights the wom-
en- OF the canal zone. Something was
wrong and Mr.. Roosevelt, who then
was President Roosevelt, and Presl-
dent Taft. who then was secretary Of
war, were nearing their wits ends.
The government had built pretty
little white and green cottages with
screened-in galleries and they had
fitted them throughout with the latest
style In mission furniture. The men
at the zone were putting aside more
money than they had been able to
save in years in the states and from
a mans point OF view there was no
apparent reason why the American
women who had followed their hus-
bands into the zone should not be
content But they were not, and the
spirit of unrest grew until It took on
proportions Of sufficient size to affect
the work on the canal.
The president and the secretary Of
war put their heads together and de-
termined to send a woman from the
states with the rather unusual com
mission to find where lay the trouble
with her transplanted sisters. The
woman was Miss Boswell
What Miss Boswell found was a row

HOTEL. FOR WOMEN
Boston Organization Starts a

INTERESTS THE PASTORS

Boston, Mass, Jan. 24.-At a joint
meeting of the Woman's Industrial
and Rescue League and the Woman's
Homestead association, held short
time ago, a movement to provide a
hotel for industrial women was organ
lied. with Miss Harriet r. Farrar as
president and Mrs. J. D. Adams Sec
rotary.
The Rev. Herbert Johnson, pastor
of the Warren Avenue Baptist church,
was elected president of the building
fund committee, and the Rev. w. P.
McQuade, pastor of st. James church,
was elected treasurer.
In statistics given out at the meet
ing in regard to the comparative pro-
vision of Boston for girls dependent
upon their own efforts to live it is as
serted that this city has $4,000 home
less women who live in lodging
houses.
Department stores and other en-
ployers prefer girls who live at home,
and orphans and others who have no

New York has ten modern hotels
and flat houses for this class of wom-
Ell who receive less than ten dollars
a week. Providence has two such
hotels. The board and room charge at
these hotels is from $3.50 to So per
week.
Boston, it is said, has fewer hotels
for industrial women than any other
city in the United States. Rents are
higher and accommodations are poor

err rent than elsewhere, yet the class
of women mentioned are obliged to
live in them.

Graceful Little GazelIa.
Gazella is the name of a group of
graceful little antelopes which are
commonly known as gazelles, from
the Arabic name of one of the species.
They are found in the more open dis
trlcts OF Africa and are divided into
about fifteen distinct Species
Generally the color is sandy above
and white below. In all the African
species the face is marked with longi-
tudinal dark and light streaks.
Tufts of hair are usually developed
on the knees. The tail is of medium
length in the African species
Agile and Timd ImpaIIas.
lmpallas, or something simply pal
las, is the name given to certain an

cies known to science, the common
impalla and the Angolan impalla.
Their general color is bright reddish
brown. but paler along the lower part
of the sides
/ The horns of the impallas are par
ticularly graceful. They extend con-
veX below and concave above, spread
ing evenly.
They are described as most graceful
and agile creatures. They display
great activity when alarmed, flying
through the scrub and bounding high
over bushes. one after another, as the

The otocyon is small carnivorous
animal quite like a fox There are
several species of this animal.
One, called octocyon virgatus, is

closely resemble that of the gray fox
of our native fauna.
The many kinds of boks. such as

DIR. Edward Anthony Spitzka, the
noted professor of anatomy in Jeffer-
son Medical college, who in a recent
address before the Clerical Brother
hood of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in Philadelphia, declared that
suicide and the deliberate fastening
OF death by physician were justifia-
bic under certain very rare circum-
stances. The doctor believes that a
captured spy has right to poison
himself rather than be hanged. and a
physician has a right to morphine a

accident. where more lingering
death cannot be avoided.
