REGISTRATION BILL A LAW
overnor Tener Signs Measure Aimee

at ReformerS.
Harrisburg, Pa, June II. - Disre
garding the protests OF men active III
independent party movements AMI
even of Democrats, who ale not hide
bound organization men, Governor
Tener put his name to the bill, which
Senator F. l.. Tustin presented, but
repudiated after amendments had
been made to it, for the change of the
personal registration laws in the first
and second class cities of the state.
The bill gives the registration com
missioners in such cities four instead
of three-year terms, and prevents any
man who did not vote the Republican
or Democratic ticket at the last pres1
Dental election from sang as divi
sion registrar. This means that in doz
ems, probably hundreds of divisions
where the KeyStOHers We're first OF
second last year, they will get nc
places as registrars.
The governor was asked on seVeral
occasions by delegations to veto the
bill, and on Wednesday a delegation
headed by Senator McNichol and sew
eral of his followers, including John
II. Fow, urged that it be signed.

MUMMERY IN THE COMMONS.
"Black Rod" and His Antics In the
English Parliament.

English Parliament.
Many an American visiting the Brit
ish house OF commons has heard with
establishment the cry BLACK Rod is
comingw and wondered what was
happening.
BLACK Rod" is simply an indication
Of the persistency with which our
oversee cousins cling to a bit of an
tique mummery. Whenever In the
house this cry is uttered the sergeant
alarms springs to his feet. closes the
doors leading into the lobby and turns
the key in the lock. Having thus dra-
matically insured the commons against
an attack. the sergeant-at-arms takes
his position in front Of small win
dow, where he listens to three raps on
the door. Sergeant-at-arms then po-
litely asks what is wanted and learns
that Black Rod has message to be
delivered to the speaker and the COM
mons
Then when the door is opened an old
gentleman in black Is seen to come
slowly into the chamber. On his queer
old coat are three black rows; he wears
black silk stockings and trunks:
black coat is held under one arm, and
q short black rod. with a gold button
at the end, is in his other hand.
Black Rod Is most ceremonious. He
bows three times to the speaker and
delivers his message, while the men,
bers Of the commons put on their hats.

listen to the kings assent to IN act
which has passed both houses par

Black Rod then bows to the speaker.
| walks backward step by step to the
center of the house and repeats the
salutation. AT the door he pauses
again and bows even lower.
Sergeant-at-arms swings his mace on
his shoulder and follows Black Rod.
Behind comes the speaker in his off,
cial robes. The members on the
benches take off their hats and rise in
their places. About half a dozen Of
them follow the speaker into the house
Of lords. The speaker raises his cock
ed hat thrice and salutes the lord chan
cellor. The message Of royal assent
Is read and there is further exchange
of salutes.
The speaker returns to the house in
solemn state. and the mace Is laid on

terruption from the polite old gentle
| man in black.
| This ceremony is. of course. surviv-
al of the middle ages. when the house
of commons found it necessary to pro-
! tect itself against crown and lords.
| The door closed in the face of Black

and the hats on the members heads
were signs of the jealousy with which
| the commons defended their legislative
rights. The cuurtesies exchanged be-
tween Black Rod and the speaker I'm

Women of the Moki Indians in
the deserts of New Mexico make
bread in sheets no thicker than a
sheet Of paper. The corn of which
the bread is made is ground be-
tween two heavy stones until it be-
comes very fine. Then it is mixed
with water and very thin batter
prepared. The batter is spread on
hot stone over the fire, where it
is allowed to bake a considerable
time. When one side is baked the
other is turned. Sheet after sheet
is baked in this manner. No salt is
used in the batter, and the bread
has a swedish taste. 1t is usually
blue, taking the color of the corn
from which it is made.-Chicago

A NATION or MARKSMEN.
n Switzerland Rifle Shooting Is Eos.
tered as a Sport.


tered as a Sport.
Every man in the peaceful and
democratic country Of Switzerland
is soldier in a modest way The
ablebodied Swiss enters the army at
twenty years Of age and serves six
ty-fye days in his first year. For the
next twelve years he trains for
three weeks every alternate year
At thirty-two he enters the land
wehr and has eight to ten days I'M
der arms every fourth year until,
at fifty, he retires and is required
to furnish no further service except
in case Of war.
1t is not too much to call the
Swiss a nation Of marksmen. The
training periods are occupied only
with drill and tactics; the all i'm
portant matter Of shooting is left
to the individual soldier to carry
out at other times, and he does it
under the auspices Of the shooting
societies which are such feature
Of Swiss life.
These societies, under govern
ment control, are called Schutzen-
gesellschaften in the German and
Societies de Tir in the French can
tons. They are voluntary associa-
tions, varying in size and Importance
with the town or village they serve.
Those in the larger towns possess
completely fitted ranges and club
houses; the small villages do their
shooting in any field backed by a
suitable hill. Every peasant and
townsman has easy facilities for
shooting, and each man has his
service rifle always in his possession.
Every man between the ages of
twenty and thirty-two must fire
thirty-two shots in four compulsory
exercises every year, and the socie-
ties receive a grant of 2 francs for
every soldier shooting this course on
their ranges The income derived
from the grants generally sufices
for the current expenses of the So
ciety, supply of targets and pay Of
marker There is no entrance fee
nor subscription, as a rule, and
heavy expenditures, such as that in
Cured by the construction Of new
ranges, is met by a special grant
from the government.
In addition to these exercises,
many competitions are held be-
tween different villages, towns and
cantons. The whole system of
Swiss shooting is a good example of
cooperation between government
and individual Every Switzer has
his army rifle; he can use it when
and where he will, provided he does
not endanger other lives; he is in
sured by his government against all
accidents on the ranges, and
through his society he can secure
the services of qualified military Of
ficers to organize and control his
shooting. BY treating rifle shooting
as a sport, and it is as popular as
baseball or football with us and
far more generally practiced, the
Swiss have removed it from its
usual warlike associations, but
should occasion arise that which
has been learned in sport would be
used in earnest.-New York Press.

Current Turned of

Current Turned of
A greater loss of life was prevent
ed by the fact that there was no
electric current turned on for fully
fifteen minutes before the big gale
arrived. Every electric light in the
city went out and the Owosso and
Corunna car which had just left the
Michigan Central depot In the last
trip of the day, was stalled shortly
after 1890 for lack of "juice."
There were a dozen persons aboard
that no one cared to leave in despite
the fact that the prospects for cur
rent during the storm that was rag
ing, were not bright. The car stop
ped just one block from where a
portion of the roof of the Estey
was deposited on the track.
The rain beat down for several
minutes and the inky darkness was
relieved occasionally by bright flash
es of lightning. Suddenly the wind
appeared to increase in velocity, and
a lightning flash, much brighter
than the others, was followed by a
roar that resembled in sound, a
peal of thunder. This continued
for few minutes only, while the
drops that were beating against the
glass of the windows, changed to
hailstones that threatened to break
each pane. The car rocked to and
fro as If about to tip over on its side.
such was it's motion that the hand
full of passengers arose from their
seats and tried to steady it by shift
ing their weight from side to side as
the car rocked.
Gale ShOrtlived.
Within thirty seconds, the gale
was passed, but the rain continued
to fall, though not in such quanti-
ties. No crash nor noise of any kind
had been heard from the outside and
