BA|LEY'S ACTION
GREAT SURPRISE
Texan Resigns Seat in Up
per House Of Congress.
REFUSES TO GIVE REASON

General Opinion Is That His Feelings
Were Hurt by the Failure of Party
Members to Follow His Lead During
the Closing Days Of the Past SEES.
sion-Thinks Colleagues Violated
Their Agreement.
Washington, March Ex-senator Bal
Ley OF Texas has resigned from the
senate. He has made no explanation
as to his reasons therefor He first
presented the resignation to Vice
President Sherman, who refused to &C
cept it, Mr.. Bailey then wired the
resignation to Governor Cloquitt OF
Texas. Mr.. Bailey's term would not
have expired until March 3, 1913.
- Senator Bailey confirmed the report
that he had rendered his resignation,
but declined to give to the press rea-
sons for his action. In conversation
with fellow senators, however, he
based his reasons upon the vote cast
by the Democratic senators in favor
OF the constitution of Arizona, which,
be said, was so contrary to his ideas
OF government that he did not feel he
would be justified in continuing his
service with senators who, as mem
bers OF his own party, would take the
position that had been taken in the
vote on that proposition.
Immediately after the close of the
session Mr.. Bailey was closeted for
some minutes with his Democratic COL
leagues, but resisted all appeals to re-
consider.

When the resignation was first sent

the latter refused to announce it to
the senate. Senator Bacon was then
appealed to to make the announce

Governor Cloquitt of Texas.
Mr.. Bailey's colleagues expressed
hoped that they may be able to induce
him to change his mind.
During the last few days Mr.. Bal
ley's leadership has been repudiated
absolutely by his colleagues. It was
with Senator Bailey that the Republic
ans made their agreement for a vote
on the Lorimer case and making the
tariff board bill the unfinished bust

The understanding was that there
was to be no flibuster on the tariff
board bill, but large faction Of the

Amendment to Naval Bill.
Washington, 3 March 6.-Over the
protest OF Chairman Foss Of the naval
committee the house agreed to SEN
ate amendments to the naval appro-

of cost for the collier and the battle
ships authorized in the bill.
Mr.. Foss said the senate amend

hattleships to $6,400,0O0 each and of
the collier to $1,20O,0 900, were to enable
the department to have the ships built
in government navy yard if desired.
He said he believed it poor economy
to do this, that the battleships now
under construction in the navy yards
were costing far more than those

the advances invariably came from
Senator Lamar; that Senator Bruce
did not presume upon the official re-
lations that existed between him and
Senator Lamar to force his personal
attentions upon the latter.
At the beginning of Grover Cleve-

Lamar became secretary of the inte-
rior. Not long thereafter he sent
word to Senator Bruce, then getting
ready to retire as registrar of the
treasury, that he would like to see
him. A little later the secretary was
receiving the registrar as he would an

he doubted whether he was as we'll

She had been cutting carpet rags

drawn from her the fact that she and
her husband, who was then off In the
village with the horse, delivering some
strips Of floor covering. kept the wolf
from the door by sewing carpet rags
and weaving.
The young aristocrat whispered q
few words to his lady and she laugh
ingly nodded consent. Washington
then snatched huge apron which he
saw hanging on the door. and, tying 1t
around the laughing Martha, handed
her a pair of scissors and told her to
commence. He begged the protest.
ing dame, their little silver-haired host
ess, to get him a pair of shears. and
soon the three were cutting and sew
ing carpet rags right merrily. The
pair remained at the cottage until
dusk, leaving behind them great bas-
ketful of gay carpet balls and sub
stantial evidence of we'll wishes. AS
the Washingtons drove away home,
George expressed himself we'll pleased
with the way In which he had spent
his birthday.
Just one more record We have OF
how the general kept the resolution
made on his thirteenth birthday. 1t
was in the year 1878, while at Valley
Forge, that Washington marked Feb
ruary % with deed OF kindness which
indeed made one man grateful that
the general had been given the gift G
life for little space" A young sen
try was sent to him under the charge
of having been found asleep at his
post He was scarcely more than Q
boy, ill-clad and half-starved, and even
though he was badly frightened his
eyelids we're heavy with sleep.
The great general questioned hiN
kindly, found that he had given his
last ration to a suffering comrade and
relieved a sick man of sentry duty. In
stead of reprimanding the boy. Wash
ington spread blanket. told him to
lie down and get an hours sleep.
When he awoke 1t was past noon, and
the general had laid the table. He
was ordered to partake Of the birth
day" feast of cheese, some stale bread
and good hot coffee, or what passed
for that beverage. The next day the
boy was sent TO the hospital with a
fever. and he never saw battle after
that.
Although this is the last record that
can be found of how Washington kept
his birthday, undoubtedly later ami.
versaries were marked by deeds Of
kindness equal to those Of his early
years.

Peculiar Intimacy That Existed Be-

c. Lamar From the Time That
Both Were Elected Senators.

In 1875 Blanche X. Bruce, born in
slavery, and the first negro to sit in
the United States senate, was made a
member of that body by the Missis-
sippi legislature. Two years later that
state named as its other senatorial
representative L. O. c. Lamar, who
had drafted the ordinance of seces-
sion adopted by Mississippi, led his
regiment at Yorktown and Williams
burg, and otherwise labored assid-
uously in behalf of the Confederacy.

In politics, the eX-slave and the man
who was destined to win seat on the
United States Supreme court, were as
far apart as the poles; yet shortly
after Mr.. Lamar had become senator
It was noticed with more or less aston

and the senior senator from Missis-
sippi were on the most friendly terms.

How StrolIIne Bump Reader Exam

Head and Told the Truth
His Abilities.

While Henry Ward Beecher was all
his life in most vigorous health. both
mental and physical, never suffering
serious illness until the mortal attack,
he was nevertheless a yearly victim
OF hay fever. He found his only re-
lief from hay fever In a sojourn in
the White Mountains, and he was ac-
customed to leave his farm, near
Peekskill, N. Y, in mid-July and to re-
main in New Hampshire until the
frost. He was utterly democratic In
his manner and unconventional In his
dress, 30 that anyone who did not
know him would be likely to Judge
that he was farmer who had saved
little money and was spending a
portion of 1t in a summer vacation at
a White mountain hotel. Many farm
ers at that time were accustomed to
do this.
One summer morning in the late
seventies Beecher sat upon the piazza
of his hotel, reeading newspaper.
Upon his head was his black felt hat.
the brim of which was 80 broad that
1t tapped in the breeze. He wore an
old-fashioned rundown collar, with a
sort of black string for necktie. His
trousers were baggy. as usual A few
of his friends sat near him, chatting,
when suddenly there appeared around

that old farmers head"-motioning
toward Beecher-"and If we find that
you hit 1t pretty nearly straight. why,
then, some of us may have our heads
examined"
The phrenologist approached Mr..
Beecher. The gentlemen want me to
examine your head" he explained. Il
am a phrenologist. / can tell you
more than you know about yourself"
Beecher at once suspecting that his
friends were intent upon playing a
joke, solemnly took off his hat. The

age-to the Barbadoes-and that he
enlisted In the Seven Years war.
He spent his twenty-second birthday
amid warlike scenes at Fort Duquesne
now Pittsburg, where he commanded
regiment against the French. On
the eve of that birthday Washington
gave bountiful supper to all the men
OF his regiment, and gave a good-sized
sum OF money to one of the men to
be sent home to the wife and little
ones whom the soldier had left In al
most destitute circumstances.
There are many lapses of the rec.
ords of Washington's birthdays and
how he spent them. but in 1855 he

There is no record OF what the an.
closure was. but we are led to believe
that 1t brought comfort to both the
sender and recipient.
On January 6. 1859, at the age OF
q. Washington married Martha Gus.
It's, and for the time being all the aus
terity OF the young patriot was sunk
In the tenderness of the lover. He
marked his birthday that year by dis

slaves and by ordering that certain

tate should be served with two quarts

For time after his marriage, Wash.

Il have never been able to make It

truthfully.
"Of course! Why, II you'd taken to

have earned money enough to run
