Many Attempts Were Made to Kill the

rill Made the Closing Speech Sad of the
Xang Struggle la the Senate.
Washington, Feb. 2. The senate
opened at 11 o'clock today -with a speech
by the venerable senator from Vermont,
Mr. Morrill, "who said the house had
promptly responded to the president's
message and had supplemented it with
an emergency tariff revenue bilL The
free silver substitute for the bond bill,
he added, "may not be tho first time
when bread has been asked for that a
stone has been presented, but it is the
first time that a committee of the senate
seems to have perpetrated a practical
joke, almost good enough for the clown
of Barnum's circus."
The first vote occurred upon the
amendment of Mr. Butler (Pop., N. C.,)
to prevent further issue of bonds with
out the authority of congress, and pay
coin obligations of the government in
silver when silver bullion was below the
par value of gold. The amendment was
defeated yeas, 18; nays, 40.
Allen's amendment forbidding bond
sssues was defeated by a vote of over
2 to 1 against.
Mr. Gorman moved to lay on the
table the free silver amendment of the
finance committee to the bond bill.

vote was the same as the vote on Mr.
Gorman's motion to lay on tho table,
with the exception of Mr. Mills (Tex.),
who had voted with the silver men, but
changed his vote when it came to the
final passing and voted against the bill.
HAINER CARRIES HIS POINT.
Henderson Makes a Spirited rrotest
Against Striking Oat Appropriations.
Washington, Feb. 5. Mr. Dingley,
chairman of the ways and means com
mittee Tuesday reported back the senate
free coinage substitute for the house
bond bill with the recommendation that
the house nonconcur and insist on its
bill.
The house spent the remainder of the
day debating a series of amendments
offered by Mr. Hainer (Rep., Neb.) to
strike from the District of Columbia
appropriation bill the appropriations for
private and sectarian institutions of
chanty in the district and place the
money appropriated for them" at the
disposal of the board of children's guar
dians. Much feeling was engendered
and at times tho debate grew quite ex
citing. The appropriations for six to
ligious charitable institutions, one Epis
copal and five Catholics, were stricken
out, but the amendments to strike out
the appropriations for other private in
stitutions including tho Young Women's
Christion home, the Hope and Help
missions, etc., were defeated. After
the committee of the whole reported the
bill to the house separate votes were de
manded on all the amendments adopted
and they were the first in order in Tues
day's business. Mr. Henderson (Rep.,
Ia.) made an eloquent speech against
one of Mr. Hainer's amendments which
frequently evoked applause.
TARIFF BILL IN THE SENATE.
Reported From the Finance Committee
With a Silver Amendment.
Washington, Feb. 5. Tho belated
tariff bill emerged from the finance com
mittee Tuesday and made its appear
ance in the senate soon after the session
opened. Chairman Morrill made tho
report, Etating that a free silver amend
ment had taken the place of the origi
nal bill, and adding, amid laughter, the
clcdng phrase of official procedure of
Massachusetts, "and may God save the
commonwealth." Mr. Quay made two
attempts to get the bill recommitted to
the committee with instructions to re
port back separate tariff and free silver
bills, but was cut off by parliamentary
objections. A sharp contest occurred at
2 o'clock between the senators favorable
to advancing the appropriation bills and
these desiring to take up general legis
lation. The latter element prevailed in
two test vote s and the right of way was
secured by the resolution of Mr. Dubois
(Ida.) to reform the method of consider
ing appropriation bills by distributing
them among several committees. This
was strenuously resisted by the friends
of the appropriation committee, who
contended that the change was revolu
tionary and designed to dismantle the
committee. The final vote was not
reached, but it was evident from the
ilebate and incidental votes that a ma
jority favored the change.
ANTIPRIZE FIGHTING BILL.
Honsc Passes a 'Measure to Stop the 1 Paso
Fighting: Carnival.
Washington, Feb. 6. In the house
today Delegate Catron of New Mexico
introduced a bill to prevent the pugilist
festival from taking place near El Paso.
The bill makes fighting a misdemeanor,
punishable by imprisonment for not less
than five years.
The District of Columbia appropria
tion bill, on which a fight has been made
over charitable appropriations, was de
feated by a vote of 135 yeas to 148 nays.
The antiprize fighting bill was then
taken up and passed without division.

IDENTIFIED THE BODY.
Destal Student Arrested For the Green
castle Murder.
Cincinnati, Feb. 6. A special to The
Commercial Gazette from Greencastle,
Ind., says: The family of A. S. Bryan,
a leading farmer living less than two
miles from this city, have identified the
clothing brought by detectives from
Cincinnati and Newport, Ey., as that
of their daughter, Pearl Bryan. They
furnish other information and circum
stances which leave no doubt in the
minds of the officers that the body oi
the woman murdered and beheaded
near Fort Thomas, opposite Cincinnati,
last Friday night is that of their daugh
ter Pearl, aged 23 years, who left home
Jan. 28, ostensibly to visit her friend,
Miss Jane Fisher, on Central avenue,
Indianapolis. They have made every
possible inquiry and find that she did
not visit Miss Fisher, but that she was
taken to Cincinnati by Scott Jackson.
As soon as the officers interviewed
Mr., and Mrs. Bryan and other .members
of their family, they sent word to Cin
cinnati to have Scott Jackson, a student
at the Ohio Dental college in Cincinnati,
arrested. The mother of Jackson lives
here and the f amilieB were intimate and
highly respected." The Bryan family
also gave imformation that led the
officers to order the arrest of William
Wood, the .son of Rev. D. M. Wood, at
South Bend, Ind. Detectives Grimm
and McDermott of Cincinnati and
Sheriff Plummer of Newport, Ky., left
here for South Bend to arrest Wood.
The families of Jackson, Wood and
Bryan are all well known here and the
tragedy has created the greatest excite
ment that was ever known in this part
of Indiana.

The Halberd.
The distincti re weapon of the Swiss
was. the halberd, which was their prin
cipal weapon at Morgarten and Laupen.
It is curious to note how the Teutonic
nations, even to this day, prefer the cut
and the Latin nations the point. We
have been told by German officers that
when tho Gfermany and French cavalry
met m tho war of 1870 the German
sword blade3 always flashed vertically
over their heads, while the French dart
ed in and out horizontally in a succes
sion of thrusts! Even the German dead
lay in whole ranks with their swords at
arm's length. So the English at Hast
ings worhed havoc with their battle
axes. The Netherland mercenaries car
ried a hewing weapon ut Bouvines. The
Flemings at Courtrai used their goden
dags fitted alike both for cut and thrust,
and finally the Swis3 made play with
their, halberds, an improvement on the
godendag.
The halberds had a point for thrust
ing, a hook wherewith to pull men from
the saddle and above all a broad, heavy
blade, "most terrific weapons (valde
terribilia"), to use the words of John
of Winterthur, "cleaving men asunder
like a wedge and cutting them into
small pieces. " Ono cau imagine how
such a blado at the end of an eight foot
shaft must havo surprised galloping
young gentlemen who thought them
selves invulnerable in their armor.
Macmillan's Magazine.
A Curious Divorce.
The charming old Duchess Wilhelmine
of Sleswick-Holstein, grandauut of the
present empress of Germany, was the
divorced wife of King Frederick VH of
Denmark. The duchess, who subsequent
ly married the younger brother of tho
present king, had no alternative left her
than to demand and obtain a dissolution
of her union with Frederick, for her
place in his affections and at the head of
the household had been usurped by her
French modiste, who was subsequently
invested by the lato king with the title
of CountessDanner. Many years later
he yielded to her importunities and le
galized his relations with her after a
fashion by a morganatic marriage.
Notwithstanding her antecedents she
was treated with the utmost considera
tion by tho present king and queen of
Denmark when they were ekicg out a
scanty subsistence in Copenhagen previ
ous to their succession to the throne,
and it was from her that the Princess of
Wales, the present czarina of Kussia and
tbe Duchess of Cumberland acquired
not only their unrivaled taste for dress,
but also the practical knowledge which
they possess of how to make dresses and
hats.
That Motto of Sala's.
It is not generally known that Mr.
Sala was tho author of a quotation at
tributed to Dr. Johnson. The circum
stances under which it came to bo made
were as follows: Be had been a con
tributor to The Cornhill Magazine, aud
was contemplating further work for
that periodical, when John Maxwell, a
publisher, proposed that he become edi
tor of a new magazine which Mr. Max
well thought of starting. This offer he
accepted, and Mr. Sala says: "To this
periodical I gave tho name of Temple
Bar, and from a rough sketch of mine
of the old bar which blocked the way
in Fleet street Percy Macquoid drew an
I admirable frontispiece. As a motto I
imagined a quotation from Boswell,
i 'And now, sir,' said Dr. Johnson, 'we
will take a walk down Fleet street. '
To the best of my knowledge and be
lief, Dr. JGhnson never said a word
i about taking a walk down Fleet street,
! but my innocent supcrchery was, I fau
' cy, implicitly believed in for at least a
generation by the majority of magazine
readers." Boston Transcript.
Central Kew York Justice.
There is a justice of the peace in
, Oneida county who is regarded by many
as a wonderfully keen fellow with a
most accurate sense of justice. In the
village where he resides no man is more
important than the "jedge." Recently
a man arrested for larceny was arraign
ed before hint. The prisoner pleaded not
guilty.
"Well, I think that you stole it any
way, "said the judgo without further
inquiry or parley. "I suspect you," he
thundered, "and I'll give you 59 days
on suspicion."
The man vho was suspected served
the sentence. Utica Observer.
Views of America,
Sir Walter Besant, in commenting on
, Mr. Hall Caino's views of America and
published in Tho Daily Chronicle, says :
"We don't know the American people in
this country, and we ought to know
, them ; they come over here by tho thou
sand, by the hundred thousand, and wo
' do nothing to entertain them or to make
their acquaintance, or to show them
that we should Iiko to Know tnem. Are
we ashamed of ourselves of our homes
of our women, especially that we do
not want to show ourselves to them? We
have no reason to be ashamed.
"The English woman is not so intel
lectually cultivated as the American,
but she need not fear comparison. As
for the people generally, I am right glad
to see Hall Caine proclaiming the truth
about them that is, that they are 'al
most childlike in their singleness of
heart, easily moved by simple things,
the youngest minded and the youngest
hearted people in the world! '
"As I did not say this myself, I copy
it, I steal it, and I adopt it. The ma
terial greatness of America take3"-away
one's breath; the kindness of the Amer
icans takes away one's power of criti
cism. One does not go away from a de
lightful evening and begin at once to
carp and sneer and insinuate suggestions.
Only, if by any machinery we could do
something to make the American visitor
feel at home with us, we should be do
ing a great thing for ourselves. I don't
want him to be introduced to belted
earls, but I want American men and
women of culture to be able easily to
meet English men and women of cul
ture." The-Mialster's Furnace Fire
Plumbers tell some laughable stories
about people who don't know how to
run furnaces and steam beating plants.
"We put in a furnace for a minister
once," says an Auburn plumber, "and
the next day he came down and kicked
about it He said that it wouldn't bum,
and he either wanted it taken out or
put in working order right away. I
went up, and after examining the chim
ney carefully I looked into the furnace.
What do you suppose the trouble was?
Well, sir, the minister had been trying
to heat the house by building a fire in
the ash bos." Lewistoa Journal.
How a Cold Ware Trr ;
"Cold waves," so called . compre
hensive phase for which we aie indebt
ed to recent meteorological research and
investigation are waves of heavy air
following the rarefied track of "low
barometer" and changing the conditions
from mild oppressiveness to clear, cold
skies and heavy air full , of life giving
properties. Thesa waves are as marked
in their movements as veritable sea
waves, rolling over the land just as a "
tidal wave rolls oyer the surface of tho
ocean. Exactly where they originate is
a mystery, but it is altogether probable
that their starting point is somewhere
on that bleak plateau lying between
Hudson bay and Bering strait. When
tho wavo reaches the outposts of civili
zation in the Rocky mountains, the tel
egraph heralds the news over the whole
of the United States, giving the impres
sion that the homo of tbe blizzard is in
the mountainous regions of the north
western states of our own country. When
these waves reach the great plains and
the Missouri and Mississippi valleys,
they spread out and cover the whole
country, striking tho Atlantic coast in a
streak extending from Bangor, Me., to
Cape Hatteras. After taking its plunge
into the ocean it rages with great vio
lence until it comes in contact with the
gulf stream. That great thermal current
modifies and tempers the blast so that it
is but a spring breeze by the time it
reaches the Bermudas, GOO miles from
Charleston, C. C. St. Louis Bepublio.
A Settler.
On the occasion of a visit of an Eng
lish junior football team to Glasgow to
play an eleven of Scottish juniors, two of
the members were taken down in rather
an unexpected manner.
They did not arrive in the city until
nearly 11 p. m., but, despite the late
ness of the hour, two of them expressed
their intention of having a look round.
The landlady of the hotel where they
were staying, a motherly old Scottish
lady, suggested that bod would be pref
erable, especially as they were in a
strange city, closing her remarks by say
ing: ."And, besides, ye might get lost and
took to the police station, and I should
liave to pay saxpence each to get ye
back."
"Is that ail they charge to bail a man
out?" inquired one of tho pair.
"It is na' what they charge to bail a
man out," answered the good lady, as
she gazed on tho youthful countenances
of the football players, "but it is what
we havo to pay for the recovery of lost
children."
The youths went to bed. Pearson's
Weekly.
Clearly Defined.
A contemporary writes: "Lord Wa-
terford's story related in Canon Mc-
Coll's descriptive sketch in tho West
minster Gazette of the man who accused
another of doing him 'grievous bodily
harm' by 'calling him names,' which
'gave him a pain in the inside, ' reminds
me of an incident in a trial to which I
listened many years ago, when a law
student in the Four Courts, Dublin.
Tho late Sir William Carroll, who had
filled the post of lord mayor of Dublin,
but who was noted as a disciple of Mrs.
Malaprop, sued the late Mr. Angelo
Hayes, a Dublin artist of considerable
eminence, for libeling him by a carica
ture. The caricature was produced in
court. In cross examination, Sir Wil
liam swore that it gave him great pain.
'Pain?' said the counsel. 'Pain of what
kind? Was it mental pain or bodily
pamr 'My Jord, ' said llie witness,
turning to the late Chief Justice White
side, who was trying the case, 'my lord,
all I can say is that that drawing gavo
me great bodily pain of mind.' "
Overwhelmed by an Advertisement.
A Brooklyn firm had an amusing ex
perience recently, and one which proved
to it tho great valuo of newspaper ad
vertising. Solid oak chiffoniers were ad
vertised to be sold for OS cents. That
morning bargain seekers noticed the
offer and before 8 o'clock the store was
crowded with buyers. Finally the clerks
were overwhelmed. They began taking
orders for the chiffoniers right and left.
In alarm the manager telephoned to ono
member of the firm and wanted to know
what could be done. By that time the
crowd had become so great and the rush
for the 98 cent chiffoniers so impatient
that other furniture was being shoved
in all directions and much damage
done. Tho sale was ordered off in a
twinkling. It was found, however, that
orders for 1,641 chiffoniers had been
taken. Buffalo Express.
Curious Duels.
About eight years ago a curious duel
was fought in- Pari3 when two rivals
met at the house of their divinity. Aft
er a few high words an immediate en
counter was decided upon, and neither
swords nor pistols being at hand two or
namental crossbows were taken from the
walls of the drawing room. An adjourn
ment into the garden was made, and in
a few minutes one of the lovers was
pierced in the arm by his opponent's
shaft. In 1801 a still more singular
duel was fought, the weapons in this
case being umbrellas. After a furious
straggle ono of the combatants fell, run
through the eye, and soon afterward
died.
How He J la do Himself Pleasant.
Brown How is it you are such a fa
vorite everywhere you go?
White Oh, that's easy enough.
Whenever anything pleasant happens to
me, I keep it to myself so as to make
nobody envious, but all my misfortunes
I tell to everybody who will hear me,
and you can't imagine how happy they
make everybody I tell them to. They
say, you know, that misery loves com
pany. I don't know how that, is, but
company loves misery every time.

Can Temper Copper.
E. G. Salter of th:3 city, has discov
ered the lost art cf t jmpering copper so
that the metal may be utilized in placo
of steel for many purposes where corro
sion puts steel at a disadvantage. He
has made both flat and coiled springs of
great elasticity, has made good knife
blades, and, best of all, is able to weld
tbe metal itself and weld it to iron or
steel. Mr. Salter says his process gives
pure copper all tho qualities which it
possesses when the .secret process of
tempering is employed. Trolley wheels
made from tempered copper have out
worn several sets of wheels made in the

Eecordlng Music.
A French gentleman has at last per
fected and bronght out an invention
which has long been looked for by many
musicians. It is nothing more or less
than a recording piano. By means of a

attached under the keyboard anything
that is played can. at will be recorded
by tho instrument. The music so writ
ten is not recorded in the usual notes,
but in a series of long and short dashes
something like the Morse alphabet,
which it is easy to reproduce in the or
