KILLS PMDETG BILL.
DEFEATED IN THE HOUSE BY AN IN
DIRECT, BUT DECISIVE VOTE.
Pinal Vote Taken On Motion to Engross
the Hill For a Third Time An Impas
sioned Speech by Senator stills In Favor
of Recognition of Cuban Independence.
"Washington, Jan. 12. The Pacific
railway funding bill went to its doom
in the house Monday under an adverse
majority of 60. The friends of the
measure, who had predicted its passage
up to the last moment,5were surprised
by the decisive character of their defeat.
They had been led to hope from the
votes on the substitutes that the bill had
more than an even chance of passage.
The Bell substitute provided that if the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific would
clear off the first mortgage and advance
the government lien, the government
would extend the indebtedness at 3 per
cent yeas, 110; nays, 158.
The Harrison substitute provided for
a committee to negotiate a settlement of
the debt. It was rejected by a vote of
yeas, 55; nays, 214. Many of the mem
bers were as much opposed to these sub
stitutes as the Powers bill. The Cali
fornia and middle west voted almost
solidly against them. When the vote
came on the main proposition, the whole
opposition swung into line and crushed
it by an adverse vote of vcas, 102; nays,
168.
The vote was not taken directly on
the passage of the bill, but on the pre
liminary motion to engross and read
the bill a third time. Bills which be
come the subject of hard contests are
usually brought to a final test before
the Inst parliamentary stage is reached.
After the bill was disposed of the army
appropriation bill and several other bills
were passed.
IMPASSIONED SPEECH BY MILLS.
Texas Senator Advocates the Iteroguition
of the Independence of CtiSia.
"Washington, Jan. 12. The chief
event of Monday in the senate session
was an impassioned speech by Mr. Mills,
pf Texas, in favor of a resolution iutror
duped by him to declare the r-ccognition
pf a foreign government a congressional
prerogative and to recognize the inde
pendence pf Cuba and appropriate $10,r
000 for the salary of a minister. In
support of the first proposition the sena
tor quoted a long line of precedents and,
gpeakiijg on the latter question he
strongly denounced the administration,
charging it with favoritism toward
Spain. Ho spoke contemptuously of
Castellar and Wej'ler and of Signor
Crispi, becauso of his declaration that
Europe could not look without concern
upon the pretensions of the United
States. The Cuban question was the
mercantile spirit of the nation against
its honor, he declared. There was an
informal discussion by several senators
and Bacon (Ga.), gave notice of a
speech today.
WORDY DUEL IN THE HOUSE.
Sensational Sequel to Johnson' Attack on
Una rat,
"Washington, Jan. 13. The house
Tuesday witnessed a sensational sequel
to the remarkable attack made by John
son (Cal.) on Editor Hearst. Mr. John
son and Maguire (Dem., Cal.) were the
antagonists. Their wordy duel grew
out of the publication in The Record as
a part of Mr. Magnate's remarks or com
ments on the former's rpoc.-h last week,
in which Mr. Maguire defended Mr.
Hearst and. without the mention of Mr.
Johnson's name, detailed some matters
in the early life of the latter when he
resided in Syracuse, N. Y. Mr. John
son got the floor on a question of privi
lege. He w: ? at times dramatic. He
denounced Mr. Maguire's attack on him
as wanton and cowardly and told the
gtory of his indictment 3-1 years ago in
Jfew York for forgery and how he had
gone out to California to rear a new
home and make a new namo. He de
scribed his success and how he had been
able to pay back oveiy dollar he owed.
He then explained that all this was an
old story in California, where he hatl
always avowed it when he ran for office.
Then with bitter invectives he paid his
respects to Mr. Maguire and Mr. Cooper
of "Wisconsin, who hist week character
ized his attack on Mr. Hearst as cow
ardly. " Mr. Maguire replied to Mr. Johnson
in a sarcastic vein. He told how he had
a"f tempted to secure time in which to
feply to Mr. Johnson during the debate
arid had been unable to do so and how
he had printed his defense of a man un
able to secrire ; hearing for himself. He
sneered at Mr. Johnson for whining be
causo his attack went home to him and
gaid he should have thought of the giicf
and anguish he was bringing to another
before lie assailed Mr. Hearst.
Lively Political Sparring.
"Washington, Jan. 13. Some lively
political sparring marked the latter
hours of the senate session today. The
free homestead bill was under discussion
and Mr. Allen found opportunity for
questioning Mr. Tilas ("Wis.) concern
ing the part differences of last fall. It
brought out much difference of opinion
as to whether the Democratic platform
was made at Chicago or at Indianapolis.
Mr. Yilas declared that there was al
most nothing in the Chicago platform
not inimical to the interests of the gov
ernment. He insisted that the Indian
apolis platform was founded throughout
in democracy. Mr. Allen characterized
ho Indianapolis platform as a Mrump
affair." The controversy became very
lively and took a wide range. The
homestead bill was further debated but
a. vote was not reached. Mr. Yilas at?
tacked it as a. mcas.uro giving away

HUMAN MEANNESS.
A Few Suggestions by Kind Friends Per
an Inscription on a Tombstone.
Once upon a time in a New Jersey
county lived a fanner who had a rep
utation for "nearness'5 that would
have given cards and spades to the
famous plaster of Aunt Jemima in
its stickiest days, and it came to
pass that the farmer died.
Having died and been duly buried,
it happened that there were those
who, forgetting the, man in the
wealth that he left, thought it was
fitting that a monument should he
erected over his grave.
So the order was given, and in
due time the marble memorial to
the dead was finished except the
inscription to be placed upon it, and
two men were in the marble shop
talking to the mortuary artist about
it and showing no little uncertain
ty of mind as to what was most ap
propriate.
"Tell me," said the man with the
chisel, "something characteristic
of the deceased, and perhaps I can
suggest a fitting motto to inscribe
upon the stone in view of the fact
that you are undecided what is most
appropriate."
"Well," replied the man with a
clover stem in his mouth, "I re
member one time, when Brother
Bolter had Hiram Kilmer workin
for him, that he brought Hiram's
dinner to him in the field on a plate.
Hiram was in the middle of the row
at the time, and when he laid his
hoe down to eat his dinner the de
ceased took it up and went on hoein
out to the end of the row, and when
he got back he noticed that Hiram
had devoured everything there
was.
" 'My, my,' said he in a good deal
of surprise, seein that be wasn't as
liberal as he might be, 4you've et it
all, haven't you?'
" 'Yes,' Fays Hiram right back at
him, 'and if there had been any
grease on yer derned old plate I'd
et that too,' "
The artist rested the chisel point
on the marble and looked at the
other man inquiringly.
"Jeemes Bolter," said the other
friend of the deceased, "was a neigh
bor of mine for 15 year, and one
day at the doggery by the iron
bridge me and Sam Stires stopped
to wet our whistles, and layin in
the sawdust over in one corner was
Jim Hecker, Jim bein the greatest
sot and do nothin that we ever
raised on this soil. Well, me and
Sam got talkin about mean men,
and I says I could name the two
meanest men in the county, and
Sam says he bet he could foller suit,
and only use one first name, and
he'ups and says Bill Higgins and
Bill Scott, and I says he had called
the turn. Jist at this immejit mo
ment Jim Necker riz up out of the
sawdust, with it stickin to his face
and eyebrows, and lookin as if he
had passed through a hard winter,
and says he, 'Skuse me, gents,'
says he, 'fer int'ruptin, but if it
won't cut the average down too
much I'd like to add the name of
thatd a little Jeemes Bolter.' "
The narrator looked solemnly at
the artist, the meanwhile pulling
profoundly on his luscious long
whiskers, and the artist sighed and
told them to call around next day
and he would consult further with
them. New York Sun.

THE PATH OF THE MOON.
Why It Is Sometimes High In the Sky
and Sometimes Low.
To explain the remarkable varia
tions in the place of the moon dur
ing different months we must con
sider the effect of the inclination of
the ecliptic -to the earth's equator.
The ecliptic is the path in which the
sun appears to circle the heavens
once every year.
The ecliptic crosses the plane of
the equator at two opposite points,
called the vernal and the autumnal
equinox. The sun arrives at the
vernal equinox about the 21st of
March and at the autumnal equinox
about the 21st of September. Dur
ing the interval the sun is north of
the equator, and consequently its
path lies high in the heavens as seen
from our hemisphere. But during
the other half of the year, while it
is passing from the autumnal to the
vernal equinox, the sun is south of
the equator, and its path consequent
ly runs low in our heavens.
Now, the moon travels around the
earth in a plane not very much in
clined (only 5 degrees and 8 min
utes) to the path of the sun. But
the sun takes 12 months to circle
the heavens, while the moon takes
less than one month. Accordingly
at one time we find the moon near,
the sun and about two weeks later
just opposite to the sun.
It is clear that when the moon is
near the sun, as at new moon, it
will be north of the equator if the
sun is north and south if the sun is
south. But -when the moon is oppo
site to the sun, as at full moon, it
will be north of the equator if the
sun is south and south if the sun is
north.
We have just seen that from au
tumn until spring the sun is south
of the equator. It follows that in
winter the full moon will be north
of the equator and will run high in
the sky. On the other hand, during
the summer, when the sun is north
of the equator, the full moon will
be south of it and will run low in
the sky. Some variation is produced
by the inclination of the moon's or
bit to the ecliptic, but this inclina
tion, being small, may be neglected
in a general explanation.
In consequence of its eastwardly
motion around the earth the moon
rises on the average about 51 min
utes later every day. This interval
is called the daily retardation. It
is shortened or lengthened accord
ing to what part of the ecliptic the
moon is near. In the latitude of
New York the interval may vary in
length between 23 minutes and 1
hour and 17 minutes.
The retardation is greatest when
the moon's path is steepest to the
horizon and least when the path
has the smallest inclination.
The latter condition occurs, with
respect to the full moon, about the
time of the autumnal equinox. At
that season the full moon travels in
a path very little inclined to the
horizon, and so for several evenings
in succession will rise at nearly the
hour of sunset This is called the
harvest moon. The next following
full moon, in October, also has its
path but little inclined and its re
tardation shortened and is called the
tranter's moon.
Some persons sujypose that the
crescent of the new moon promises
wet or dry weather according as its
horns are so inclined that the hol
low between them looks as though
it could or could not hold water. Of
course there is no relation between
the weather and the position of the
new moon's horns. The inclination
of the new moon may readily be ac
counted for at any time when we
bear in mind the fact that a lint
drawn from tip to tip of the horns
must always be at right angles to
the direction of the sun. Youth's

MODERN CURIOSITY.
Questions That Verge Upon the Imperti
nent Are Now Often Asked.
The curiosity of the nineteenth
century seemed a few years ago to
have reached such a pitch that I
confess I doubted the possibility of
its increasing. But I reckoned with
out my host Modern life is entirely
throwing off the mask, and the un
professional interviewer buzzes
through the world like some intol
erable bluebottle fly. 2$ot so very
long ago it usedto be considered
essentially ill bred to put questions.
"Kever ask questions!" was a max
im impressed upon every youth or
maiden standing on the threshold
of ' 'high' ' life. ' 'Never do anything
else" seems now to have taken its
place. Surely nobody who goes about
and meets many fellow human be
ings can have failed to observe the
"stand and deliver" attitude which
many of them take up. The most
searching inquiries are unblushingly
made into one's most private con
cerns. For instance, I am a writer.
Over and over again people I scarcely
know, or only know very slightly,
have asked mo how much I earn by
my pen. I always reply that I have
no idea and begin to talk of Shakes
peare and the musical glasses.
But these material questions are
by no means the most serious mat
ter that one has to deal with. It is
much worse when strangers en
deavor to pry into the exact condi
tion of one's soul, the precise state
of one's heart, the processes of dis
ease or of glory going forward in
one's mind. The Li Hung Changs
who murmur "How old are you?"
are bad enough in all conscience, but
they are angels in comparison with
the ardent young woman who wants
to know all about your religious
creed whether you believe in a fu
ture life, if you desire immortality
or would prefer annihilation, how
you are affected by the transmigra
tion of souls doctrine, whether you
have often met a mahatma, what
your nervous system feels like in
the morning, why you tremble when
you hear Wagner's music, and so
forth. There is no stopping her,
There is no putting her off. She says
she "loves psychology" and is
greedy about the human soul. No
doubt she is. But I personally
strongly object to having bites made
at my own poor little human soul.
Such bites lacerate me and leave me
depressed and haunted by a vague
feeling of outrage.
The human soul is apt to be "very
much put about" af ter a good square
meal has been made off it It is all
very well to tell one's little feelings
to a dear friend in a sweet and ex
pansive hour, when one is sure of
sympathy and certain of compre
hension. To do this is to taste a
greater happiness than common.
But to be publicly interviewed as to
the state of one's soul is intolerable,
It is high time that some of these
society interviewers were brought
to book by a snub. They create a
reign of terror and are lacking in
decent manners. I would almost as
soon be left alone in an attic with a
tiger cub as with a young lady or
gentleman who was greedily psy

and free from potash, can afford re

unfailing remedy for Rheumatism,
and has cured the severest cases,
where other remedies failed to reach
the disease.
2Ir. Frank T. Rey
nolds, of Dalton,
Ga., was a sufferer
from Rheumatism
since his boyhood.
He writes: "Ever
since I was twelve
years of age I have
suftered intensely
with Muscular
Rhe itmatism,
which, at one time,
kept me m bed for
eighteen months.
I took all kinds of treatment, and
visited many famous springs, but
could get only temporary relief : the
disease always returned, and at times
was so painful that it was impossible
ior me to use my arms and legs. 1 tried
almost everything that was sug
gested, and after eighteen years of
suffering-, S. S. S. was recommended,
and I was happy to, at last, find a
cure for this painful trouble. S. S. S.
seemed to get at the disease promptly,
and afforded immediate relief."
The experience of
Mr. E. J. Gibson, of
Madison, Ga. ,was
similar to the above.
He says: "I tried
almost every rheu

Several bottles cured me completely,
and for more than four years I have
not had a symptom of Rheumatism."
