AF TER BUSY DAY.
 HOUSE ADJOURNS '1N TIL MONDAY
Three Bills Are Passed And Seven Introduced - Sen ate Also Adjourns Until First Of Week

Inadvertently, on the part of per haps a majority of the lower house of the legislature yesterday after noon, a day was lost; an adjournment was taken until 10 o'clock Monday morning It came soon after long meeting of the whole committee which had risen on the motion of Speaker Keefe that the members might en- gage fin committee work. of which there is plenty to do The report of the committee was hurriedly disposed of There had been a motion to ad- journ to the usual hour. but it was withdrawn at the request of the speak CT. that a return might be made to the order of business of first reading. But before action was taken under that order Mir. Curlee moved to ad- journ until Monday morning. There was something lacking in his enuncia- tion and beside with the volume of business before the house and it's rec ord of continuity, it was unthinkable that any member would move to ad- journ over two days. A proposed adjournment to next Christmas would not have been more unexpected. Ac- cordingly. the motion prevailed and the members of tho house for the first time are open to week end engage ments.
 The day was busy one and there was a promise in the morning of more than usual interest in the meeting of 4 he committee of the whole, which esd two bills on the calendar which have aroused great popular interest both of them reform measures. rather azure acts. One was the Sunday ob- servance bin and the other was the later bill prohibiting the holding of dances in public school buildings and prohibiting the giving of dances un- der the auspices of school classes.
 Permission had been given a repre- sentative of the Religious Freedom as- sociation to speak for fifteen minutes fin opposition to the former bill, which had received the endorsement of some thing like a thousand signers of pe- titions. There were received yester- day morning more than half a thousand names annexed to five petitions en- dorsing the anti-dancing bill.
 Both bills came out of the commit fes yesterday, the former with a Wlixed report and the latter with an .rnfavorable report, and both were placed on the days calendar. But there were SO many measures ahead of them that they were not reached in the course of the afternoon.
