PATTERSON men
BREAK A QUORUM
AS Predicted They Stay Away From
The House And Thus Block
Opening.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 4.--As pre-
dicted the Patterson men, under the
flag of regular" democrats, have
made the first move to block legisla-
ton and the business of the Tennessee
legislature
AT the opening session the Senate
proceeded smoothly. Nat Baxter, of
Nashville, was made president by a
vote of Is to McFarland's Qnd) and
Halls (Rep.) votes.
The regulars. however, had pre-
pared to demoralize the House. The
bulk of the Patterson crowd failed to
appear at the bar of the House to be
sworn, thus preventing business
quorum. The fusionists, however,
perfected a temporary organization,
naming Rep. Swami as temporary
chairman.
T. Seek Republican Help.
One rumor has it that hope is enter
tanned of winning enough republican
votes to name some member of that
party as speaker instead of a fusionist
representative, thus at the same time,
If possible, breaking the independent
and fusionist combine and giving the
independent democrats some of their
own medicine.
Many regular democrats contend
that the filibuster will continue until
"soemthing drops" while fusionists
hold and some regulars are free to
express themselves to the effect that
nothing can be done to stay final re-
suits and that day longer at best will
find the movement ended and the
fusion interests in as full possession
of the house as the regulars are of the
senate.
Fusionists Get Grip.
A feature of the opening day was
the gradual increase in the attendance
of regulars Where but few
fusionists appeared at the morning seS-
sion, a total of 50 members were on
hand at noon and 60 at 3 O'Clock. A.
NJ. Leach was made permanent speak
er and Fred T. Wilson, clerk.

s. senator until Jan. Il.

Origin of the Opera.

The opera, like nearly everything
else interesting in the world of mind,
had its origin in ancient Athens. The
earliest librettos were by Sophocles
and Aeschylus, such as the "Abamem-
non" and "Antigone," band of flutes
and Tyres constituting the orchestra,
the dialogues being unsteady declaim-
ed and the choruses sung to the best
music of the time. Thus do we have
the germ of all later developments in
the line of opera. Exchange.

C0NJURlNG BIRDS.
Trick Sparrows of Honskong and One
of Their Feats.

of Their Feats.
The famous Chinese conjuring birds
are Java sparrows. At street corners
in Hongkong sedate old Chinese may
be seen putting the birds through their
tricks for the benefit of strangers.
Each birdcage has sliding door,
and just outside. this is pack of little
cardcases, each containing picture
and small pot holding half a dozen
grains of rice
When the stranger, pursuant to the
suggestion of the owner, hands over
the necessary coin this is placed with
the pack of cards at the cage door.
Then the owner will undo the fasten-
ing of the door The bird, eying the
coin, then the cards, then the coin
again, as if he thought his perform
ance TOO cheaply valued, descends
from his perch, opens the door with
his beak, hops outside, draws card
from. the pack and passes it to his
MASTER He receives in reward one
grain of rice
The man takes the little picture
from the case received from the bird
and hands it TO the stranger TO inspect
He then returns it to the case, accom-
panied by the tiniest fat slip of bam-
boo, and shuffles the case up with the
rest of the pack. The bird descends
and selects case, and the stranger
opens 1t, to find the identical one con-
taining the bamboo.
How can this be accounted for? The
only possible way of explaining is
that the bamboo slip is slightly scent
ed.-Exchange.

Vatican Declines to Grant An
nuIment of His Marriage.
COUNT WILL TRY AGAIN
Duchess of Talleyrand, His
Former Wife, Hopes He Will
Succeed, and Tells Why.

Rome. Dec. 26.-The Vatican has de-
clined to grant to Count Boni de Castel-
lane an annulment of his marriage with
Anna Gould. who is now the Duchess "
Talleyrand- Perigord Countess de Cas-
tellane obtained a divorce from her hus-
band and the custody of their three chill
dren on November II, 1906. About
year ago Count Boni applied to the Vat
ican for annulment of the marriage.
For several months past the Congre-
cation of the Council has had under ad-
yisement the process received from the
Archbishopric of Paris concerning the
case. When MOnsignor Annette, Arch
bishop of Paris, came to Rome recently
to receive the red hat he gave to the
Pope and Cardinal Gennari, Prefect OF
the CONGREGATION of the Council, all the
details in his possession concerning the
case and the situation of the parties in
volved.
Count Boni came to Rome on Decem-
Der 20 for the purpose Of using all pos
sible Influences to attain his object. In
this he was not opposed by the Duchess
Of Taleyrand The decision of the Con-
gregation Of the Council. however, which
was communicated 10 him yesterday re-
iected his petition for the annulment
The ground on which the application
was denied was summarized as follows:
"A marriage celebrated and consum-
mated. if performed according to the law
Of the Church, as, until proved TO the
contrary. il was in the case of the cas-
tellane- Gould marriage, is indissoluble.
There are certain impedimenta- which, If
existing before the marriage. can prevent
its celebration. or if celebrated in igno-
rance Of them. render the marriage in
valid. i'm which case the Church can
nroclaim that the union of the parties
never in reality existed. But in the ar
guments brought forward by de Castel-
lane no such impedimenta have been
shown
Count Boni left here tonight for Paris.
He expects to return to Rome about the
middle Of January. IT is thought that he
will bring forv ard new points on which
10 base another application for annul-
ment
The Duchess Of Talleyrand has given
out the following statement on the sub
ject:
u hope the count will succeed, as that
would free me from all moral obligation
to bring up the children in their fathers
religion.
