A PARSON AND A PIQ. What Waa l.ffrilire a One Caae Waa Trlrd li tbe Other. A j-oor woman came T the parson of the pariah with the request: "Please. paiM'o: my ou'J sow Im- took crui bad. I wish now, jou'il Iw ho good ait to come and nay a prayer over her." "A prayprl GoodueH pr-M-rve us! I cannot oonie and pray over a pig- pig, my dear Sally that la not possi ble." "Hit 1 rru-I bad, groaning, and won't eat her meat. If her dies, paas'n whativi-r shall we do I' the winter wl'mt l-acon sides ami ham? Oh, dear! 1 o'j-, now, passu, come aud aay a prayer over uiy old sow." "I really, really must not degrade my Nil-red ollh-e. Sally! Indeed, I must not." "oh, pass'til do'y, now!" and the good creature began to soli. The jmisciu wa a tender-hearted 111a h, and ti-ars were too tiim-h. He agreml to go to tlie cottage, aee the pig, and do what he coiid. Acordiiigly, he visited the patient, vvhleh lay groaning In the Htye. The woman gazed wistfully at the pastor, and waited for the prayer. Theti the clergyman ralmM his right hand, pointed with one finirer at the bow and said solemnly: "If thou llvet, pig! then thou II vent. If thou dleat, O )k'. then tlioll dlcst." Singularly enough, the how waa bet ter that same evening, and ate a little wash. She wan well, aud had recover ed Iter appetite wholly next day. Now, It happened. Home nioiitha after this, that the rei-tor fell very 111, with a t ul nay that nearly choked him. He could not swallow, he could hardly breathe. His life was In imminent da nger. Sally was a visitor every day at the rectory, and wan urgent to ace the Mick, man. Site wait ref lined adtnlHHlon, hut pressed ho vehemently that finally she waa Hilffered-JilKt to nee hint, hut she waa warned tux to apeak to htm or ex pect him to apeak, aa he waa tillable to utter a word. She waa conducted to the ah-k room, and the door thrown open. There she beheld the pastor lying In ltl, groan ing, almost In extremltli-a. Raising her hand, ahe polnteVat him with one finger and wild: "If thou llvest, () pass'n! then thou livittt! If thou (Heat, O iinss'n! then thou dii-Ht." The effect on the wick rnnn wasan explosion of laughter that burst the qui nay, aud his recovery. Sunday Magazine. What Water On Do. The effect of the hydraulic motor, which Is now naed for tlie purHiae of removing masses of earth, well-nigh paxses belief. A stream of water issuing from a pipe hIx Inches In diameter, with a fall be hind it of Uiree hundred and seventy live fept, will carry away a solid wk weighing a ton or mure to a distance of tlfty or one hundred feet. The Te locity of the stream la terrific, and the column of water projected Is so solid that If a erowlmr or other heavy object be thrust against It tlie Impinging ob ject will be hurled a considerable dis tance. Hy this stream of water a man would be luslii iitly killed if he came Into con tact with It, even at a distance of two hundred feet. At two hundred feet from the nozzle a six-inch stream, with three hundred and seventy-tlye feet fall, projected momentarily against the trunk of a tree, will In a second denude It of the heaviest bark as cleanly uh If It had been cut with an ax. Whenever such a strim I turned against a Imnk It cuts and burrows It In every direction, hol lowing out great eaves and causing tons of earth to melt ami fall and be washed away lu the sluices. Indicating Weather Changes. In many places the crow is looked on as a weather prophet of tlie highest distinction. On the approach of rain a whole community will rise from their nests or perches, and wheel about for some time, longer or shorter, according to the duration of tlie coming storm. The (uncock screams loudly when rain la coming. Swallows fly high In fair weather, and when they fly low, skim ming the surface of the earth, wot weather Is at hand, Gulls and other fur-flying birds do not venture far from home when heavy weather is approm-h-Ing. Rain may be expected when ducks Imtlie. Geese chatter loudly when a storm approaches. Sea-birds fly early and far to eastward when fine weather may be expected to hold, but they fly Inland In search of food on the approach of storms. Had weather Is heralded by wild fowl leaving the marshes for higher localities. The guinea hen flutters Its wings and given fearful scri-nma on a change In the at mosphere. Taking Advantage ot Kclciu.-c. An ingenious mini has Invented a de vice for feeding his horse, and he does It with one of the ordinary alarm clocks. For Instance, If the horse Is to hare Its morning feed of grain at ft o'clock the alarm Is set. and when the morning comes the horse gets lis break fast befori lt owner's eyes are open. t In so arranged that the alarm pulls the slide, letting the grain run through a sluice to the manger. Iiocomotlvc Are Heavier. Ten years ago the heaviest locomotive used on the Pennsylvania express trains weighed forty to forty-eight tons. Now tbe through express trains are each hauled hy an engine that weighs from sixty-five lo seventy tons. Conductors.

'I b- Hafngl! fet, PiTTSHCho, June 13. The r'o.-ing feature of the national aaengerfeat was tlie business meeting held yesterday morning and afterm on, when a peima netit saengerfest was formed. Presi dent Iiimling presided. A constitution was adopted. It leaves the name un charged and gives the object of the or anizatton to be the promulgation ot Herman a.mg, epeeeh and tot-utl. All singing societies in order to be eligible must have a member-hip of at least forty, must pay an initiation fee of $10 and each mem tier is, taxed 25 cents per year. Cincinnati, having a fietition signed by over 3,000 citizens, was unanimously selected an the city fcr the next test. It is almost certain that the musical director w ill be Iouis Khrgott. Mem-l-rs to the central hoard of the paen gerbund were elected, and Treasurer Adolph Stediug announced that there would be a handsome balance in the treasury after paying all hills. The central hoard elected the follow ing ollicers : President, J.

The special committee ot which Mr, Harris of Ten nessee is chairman, appointed to inves tigate the recent sales of government bonds, began its inquiry yesterday. The session was devoted to reading the reply of Secretary Carlisle in answer to a senate resolution giving a review ol the sale bonds to the Morgan-Helmont syndicate. The matter war generally discussed, after which it was decided to request Secretary Carlisle to appear Is fore tbe committee, on Monday next to answer inquiries regarding his written statement. In case the examination ot the secretary is completed on Mon day the committee will go to New York that night to examine persons in thai city connected with the bond sales. The committee desires to close the investigation as soon as possible and will do so as soon as all parties inter ested can be heard. Triad til Unlil It (Ji. Mo.Nioi.WEi-v, W.

It Adjoama WaaMiNuioM, June 12 If tha 'ast easiou of the Fiity-fourth coBgrrat has been a do-noibing seesion, as .as been predicted, tbe dosing day of the senate furnished a fitting culmination. It was a day of inactive drifting, a laborious effort to kill time by doing nothing until 4 o'clock, when, accord ing to the concurrent resolution agreed to yesterday, the two houses were to adjourn. 'lhe senate was called to or ier at 11 o'clock, when the District of Columbia appropriation biil was received and immediately signed by tbe vice-president, thus dit-p siiig of the last of the general appropr.ation bills, so far as the legislative branch of the govera ment was concerned. A bill was passed granting a pennon to the widow of (Jen. W. H. Gil son of Ohio. The sen ate then drawled along until 1 :20, the only business transacted being the ap pointment of a c m.uiittee to wait on the pres dem and inform him that con gress was ready to adjourn, and the appointment ol a committee provided for in District of Columbia appropria tion bill, to investigate the charitable and reformatory institutions in Wash ington. At 1 :20 a recess was taken until 3 o'clock, when the usual resolution of thanks to th vice-president and presi dent pro tempore were offered by en ators Allison of Iowa and Ham of Tennessee respectively, and ui tni moasly agreed to. The galleries ere almost deserted during the early hours of the session, but visitors continued to c me in slowly until the hour o ad- urument, so that when that hour ar rived and the vice-president delivered bis valedictory, he had a good sized au iii nee in the galleries, a large num ber of whom were ladies, even thougU there were but twenty-five senators present at that interesting moment. As toe vice-piesident uttered the last words and the gavel fell for the last time there was a faint outburst of ap plause, after which senators gathered in knots in the aisles and before the vice-president's dek bidding each other good bye. Then the senators on the floor and the visitors in the gal leries melted away and the chamber, w hich has been the scene of so many stirring incidents was left to pages and attendant! until the first Monday in Dece.ii Iter next. Houne Ailjnarnril. Washington-, June 12 The first session of the fifty-fourth congress gently and quietly, almost without in cident, glided into history yesterday at 4 o'clock, the shortest '"long" session ot congre-8, with two exception in the history of the government. There was a marked difference between the close yesterday and that of the Fifty-first congress, the last previous republican congre"s. Then there waa a bitter con flict raging between Speaker Reed and the minority and not one of the latter was willing to otter tlie usual resolu tion of thanks to the presiding officer. Yesterday Mr. Turner, the second mem ber of the committee on ways and means, acting for the minority in the abtence of ex-Speaker Crisp, offered a resolution thanking Speaker Reed lor the ability, faithfulness, and strict im partiality with which he had dis charged the duties of his difficult posi tion, and at tbe suggestion of Mr. D.ickery and other democrats there was a rising vote that the expression of heartiness back of the resolution might thereby bi emphasized. In his closing remarks, Sjieaker Reed offered bis grateful recognition for the honor, saying -. "The thanks of the house of repre sentatives is always a high honor, hut is esjiecially so at tbe end of a session In which the speaker has been forced to say 'no' more times, perhaps, than in the history of any other congress," In the course ot the session a num ber of private pension and relief bills were passed and Representatives Pit ney (rep.), Blue (rep., Kas.) and Dock ery (dem., Mo.) were appointed meu. bere on the part of the house com mittee to sit during the summer and invealiga'e the charities of the District of Columbia. Irlilnt HiiHy, - Washington, Juno 12. President Cleveland was a busy man yesterdav considering and Bigning hills rushed to the White house from both houses ol congress. His cabinet officers were with him to give advice on measures connected with their several depart ments and Private Secretary Thurlier was also railed in to the hasty con sultations necessary in each case. A number ot bills were not signed and therefore tailed to In-come laws. Those approved will be announced from the White boune today, How Boon the president will leave Washington for Gray Gables cannot be ascertained. It was stated yesterday at the White house that ho had made no plans and that public business would keep him here tor some time at least. Noma CmokHCl, Dbnvrk, Colo., June 12. The sensa tion ot tbe day at tbe park was the kick by the belters about crooked work on the first and second heats in tbe third Tunning race, and the subsequent action of the judges who disqualified Flying Cird and Daisy B. and lined the joikcyd $25 each. Bets were declared oft and the horses finishing 'bird, fourth and fifth were given first, second an third places. Wild Wlit. Ciiicoo, June 12.

UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO ADJOURN I K- ti m fl of lhe l'ro4-eedlns:a lluay Hay For All. Washington, June 11. Business of I e first BiBgion of the Fifty-iourth con gress was practically concluded yester d y by the agreement between the two j b dies upon the eundry civil and Dis trict of Columbia appropriation bills, i the oniy remaining matters of ddferenoe between the two houi-es when t1 ey met this morning. To accomplish this the boue voted to concur with the eenate in its amendments to the sundry cwil ippropriations, direct and contingent, '.00,OijO tor certain public buildings. This vote 100 veas to 88 nays demon strated w hat had been feared would not be found, a quorum uf membeis still in the city. The senate agreed with the iiouse provision in the district bill cut ting off appropriations to religious, benevolent aud charitable institutions, i mended so as to make tbe new policy effective after June 30, 1897. Previous to reaching this conclusion, the house ia?ped many measures under suspension tit the rules. The concurrent resolution for the Bnal adjournment of congress at 4 p. to. tomorrow was received from the I nate and agreed to, THE PKOCCKDINOa. Although there were less members present, several Mere disposed ot without imong them the following: than fifty measures objection, A reaolu- lion offered by Mr. C. W. Stone (rep., Pa.) that the secretary of the . treasury be requested to communicate to the bouse at the commencement of the next session such information as he hiay have or may be able to obtain meantime as to the comparative mer its and advantages of pure nickel, nickel alloy, aluminum combined or klloyed with other metals, and of copper bronze as material for our minor coins tnd for the purpose of making such information as full and clear as possi ble the secretary of the treasury is au thorized to have struck such experi mental coins of the metals mentioned, pure and in combination with other metals, as he may deem necessary and proper, and is rtqueeted to communi cate to the house the results and con tusions derived from such experimen tal coinage. Mr. Shafroth (rep., Colo.) meved to tuspend the rules and pass a bill pro viding for the punishment of persons who willfully set fire to timber on the public domain. It met tho serious ob jection of Mr. Little (dem., Ark.), but the objection was withdrawn and the till passed. On motion of Mr. Mondell (rep , Wyo.) lenate concurrent resolution was igteed to directing the secretary of the Interior to resume the work of issuing patents to the Union Pacific Railroad :ompany for lands sold by it to bona fide purchasers according to the lists kupplied by the company. This work was suspended a year ago, and about two and a half million acres of land and 25,000 purchasers are affected. Senate bill making bant Barbara, Cal., a sub-port of entry was also passed tinder suspension of the rules. Upon the consideration of a resolu lion reported from the committee on hrinting by Mr. Richardson (dem,. fenn.) providing tor the printing of 6,f.00 copies of the bankruptcy hill Mr. Allen (dem., Miss) made his us-ual humorous speech a the closing of aum Kress. Mr. Allen having finished, the resolution proposed by Mr. Richardson Iras agreed to. Mr. Grout (rep., Vt.) called up the conference report on the District of Columbia appropriation bill made Tues day afternoon, and the house voted to furtner insist upon its disagreement lo the senate amendments still in dispute. Want Allison to Withdraw. Dks MoiNie, la., June 11 It has been known for some time in inner po litical circles Uiat a number of leading republican managers of Iowa were at tempting to induce Allison to permit the withdrawal of tiia name from the list of presidential candidates. At one time it was about decided at Allison head quarters here that it would be done, but when the suggestion was made to Alli son at Washington in a delicate sort of way he failed to enthuse over the propo sition. This was ten days ago and the subject was temporarily dropped. It has revived again and the Iuwaris here are in communication wiih the leadeia in St. Louis on the subject. Allison's following in Iowa consists of old political leaders, and they tear now that with Mckinley's nomination they will be relegated to obscurity and the active managers of the McKinley movement in Iowa will become tbe men of consequence in. the state. They think they can retain prestige to a certain ei tent by inducing Allison to withdraw and getting concessions from McKinley ahead of the nomination. As the price of Allison's wiliidiawal, it is said, they will ask the nomination ot Senator Gear for vice-president. Gear will consent il he receives enough encouragement from friends outside the state. Uncr la Swift. Denver, Colo., June 11. Cricket Hill made tho fastest two-year-old heat of the year yesterday and also the fast est fourth heat ever paced by a two-year-old in the world, i Tha other sensation of the day was the manner in which W. W. Hamilton rode a mile on a bicycle in 1 :50. tho faatMt ever made on any track In tbe state, lend considering the condition at It was remarkable performance. The tree! waa like a piece of corrugated iron at Itbe flnlab. M -. ..a erufc ' . Wahi.utom, June 10. Very satis factory pi ogress in e'earing up the odds ami ends of the legislative work of the session was made by the senate yeMer day. Final conference reptrts on )L naval appropriation and on the Indian appropriation bills were Dresented and I agreed to. in tbe naval bill a compro 1 mise was made reducing the number of new battleships to three and directing that no contract shall he made for arm r plate until after the secretary of the navy shall have inquired into the cost of manufacture and shall have made a repot t to congress. The ques tion of contract schools in the Indian bill was compromised on the basis of allowing mem (where there are no other echoo's to take their place) during the fiscal yea- 1897. A resolution which had been offered yesterday by Mr. Wolcott of Colorado respecting the erection of an equestiian statue to ten. William T. Kidman in the city of Washington was taken up and discussed for nearly two hours. It directed an inquiry by the committee on library into the facts and circum stances of the contract and reqaested the secretary of war to suspend its exe oution till next session. Tbe resolution was d feated. , The b.ll in relation to contempts of court, reported from the judiciary com mittee by M r. Hill (dem., N. Y.) waa taken up, discussed for some time and then allowed to be set aside informally to other I ueinei-B miht be taken up. The bill increasing from $10 to $r0 month the pension of Francis E Hoo ver, w hich was vetoed by the president and afterwards passed by tlie house over the president's veto, was taken op and discussed, but when the sen ate came to vote on its pise it turned out that there was no voting quorum in the chamber and then at 5:40 the senate adjourned until today. Walling Trlnl. Cincinnati, O., June 10. When the Walling trial was resumed yesterday morning Alonzo Wailing was recalled, court refused, Baying that the state was through with tb witness, having been allowed ample time to conclude his ex amination Monday afternoon. The state excepted to this ruling. The defense then introduced David Lock, ex-chief of police of Ne apart, a witness who was among the first to the scene ot the murder. Locke said what he had first thought was blood upon the hushes he afterwards found t) be rust stains, natural to the plant. He described the tracks at the place. Walling's shoes could not have made the tracks. A number of depositions from Green field, Intl., and several from officials of the Indiana dental college at Ind ianapolis, were read to show that Wal ling bore a good character. Dr. Wev of the Cincinnati dental college said Walling was at the college Thursday and Saturday evenings, but not on Friday, the night of the murder. He was not required to be present on Friday. Dr. Davis testified that the slight retraction of the muscles of the neck indicated that decapitation had been done after death. William Abbott, who embalmed the body, was called. He swore that he took a quart of blood from the body and that he also found a puncture ol a hypoiiermic needle under the left breast. Dr. Edwin F. Landy of Cincinnati testified as to the retraction of the muscles about the neck. He hud taken interest in the subject on account of the diseusj'on in Jackson's trial and made several experiments on bodies soon after death. These; went to con vince him that tho decapitation ol Pearl Bryan was made w hen the mus cles were beginning to lose their rigidity after deatl.. The witness said that it would be a difficult and tedious task to cut ofT a human head in the darkness, unless the head -vere haced off. The witness said he had killed a live eheep to determine how far blood would spurt when the bead -as cut off with a sharp knife. When he be headed the animal the doctoi stood on a sheet of paper, perhaps six feet square, to show how far the blood would spurt. The w itness unrolled the sheet of paptr. It was covered with blood. He believed blood from a person beheaded alive wou'd Bpurt ten feet A number of depositions used in the Jackson trial were read aqd court ad journed at 6 :30 p. m. Troops May he Nnceitary. PoiiTLANn, Ore.. June 10. The many rumors of the movement of the Oregon national guard, w hich is ready at an hour's notice to go down the Columbia river among the rioting fishermen, are causing great excitement. General Beebe refuses t 8!iy whether the call ing out of the First regiment rests with him or Governor Lord. The burning ol the North Shore Packing company's plant on the Washington side of the river, ner Astoria, last night, presum ably by strikers, is a fresh cause for de manding the pretence of the militia and it has leaked out from a lieutenant that the First regiment will receive march ing orders to go down the river on a special boat last night. There it - much opposition here to interfeeence In the strike troubles by militia. Mntaa Marry, Oakland, Cal., June 10 A deal mute wedding occurred in this city yesterday, tbe bride being Miss Bessie Cole, the only daughter ot State Har bor Oommleaioner Cole, and the groom Douglat Tilden, one of the most gifted fculptorton tbe Pacific coatt.

WEYLER A BLOOD LOVING BRUTE Ruluouitl'ntoarable anil Opprrala Taia tl' a tauHM lhe C ulliu Trouble. Washington, June 9. The senate passed the new general deficiency bill in less than three-quarters of an hour. O diuarily a bill of 130 printed pagea would have taxed the powers of the read'ng clerk for at least two hours, out the reading ol this bill was com pleted in half an hour. An attempt was made by Mr. Harris of Tennessee to have the claims under the Bowman act, aggregating about half a million doll rs. p'ac-d in tle bill, but they were ruled out on points of i rder and tbe bill was promptly passed. A final conference report was made on the poHtoflice appropriation bill and was agreed to. Partial Conference re ports on the Indian appropriation bill and on the District of Columbia ap propriation bill were made and agreed to and further conferences ordered. The immigration bill as taken up and Mr. Morgan of Alabama made another long speech upon the question of the war in Cuba, in the course of which he disclaimed heretofore having said anything offensive to the queen regent of Spain. He eulogized her as a woman of very high character and of almost unexampled virtue, and said she was entitled by virtue of the re genco of womanhood to the utmost respect, and that every senator so tretted her and so spoke of her. He spoke of General Weyler, however, at a brutal soldier who plunged his blood stained sword in the bosoms of women and children. Mr. Morgan went into the Cuban question at great length, giving state ments of occurrences in the present war and in the preceding ten years' war and asserting that the CubanB had been selected by the Spanish govern ment for ruinous, irppressive and un bearable taxation. He confessed that he was not averse to a war with Spain if she continued in her course of abom inable despotism. It was a misfortune that the pejple, of the United States should be drawn into the matter by reason of their ancestry and traditions. He did not deny his sympathies with Cuba, but as an American citizen and an American Eenator he had confined his action in the matter entirely to the constitutional duties of the government of the United States to its own pei.ple. Alluding to a newspaper statem tit that he had on the floor of the senate made hard and unpleasant remarks as to the queen regent of Spain, Mr. Mor gan s.tid that he had on that occasion refeired to the queen regent merely in connection with her Bpeech from the throne in which she claimed that the president of the United States was in controversy with congress and in con troversy with the people as to their sen timent abo.'tt Cuba. If the queen of Great Britain, the queen regent of Spain, tlie queen of Greece and the empress of Germany were to meet in tlie island of Cuba and were to witness some of the things done there in the name of Spain upon innocent women and children, who were shot to death by a brutal soldiery, these great and noble women would rise in their maj esty and would strike to .death t.l;e power which enables a bru'e like Wey ler to indict such torture. "Would to God," Mr. Morgan ex claimed, "that the queen of Spain were there to see these things. The delicacy of her nature would not permit the infliction of such brutalities epon women and children. Butwetrj cn pelled to stand by, according to the president's theory, idle and mute, and to witness the continued repetition ol these biutal acts in that island. I wish those noble women were there to see tljem. They would lay their hands on the arm of the biutal soldier who now wields the brutal Bword of Spain there and would tell him in the name of God and humanity and Christianity to for bear his inhuman deeds." On motion of Mr. Perkins (rep , Cal.) senate bill appropriating $350,000 for a public building at Oakland, Cal., was taken from the calendar and passed and 'he eenate adjourned. Outlaw Hanged. Burnt, Mont., June 9. Bill Gay, a noted outlaw was hanged at Helena, at 11 o'clock yesterday morning for the murder of James Mack, a deputy sheriff, on the Musselshell in May, 1893, while being trailed by a Blieriff's posse. Dep uty Sheriff Rader was killed at the same time by Gay's brother-in-law, a man named Goes, who escaped. Gay was captured in southern California, about a year ago. When hope was abandoned in that direction attention was turned to Gov ernor Rickards and he was flooded with petitions and affidavits for a commute" tion of sentence, but he refused to inter fere and Gay was hanged. He brukt down at the last moment and had to bt uarried to the scaffold. He had pro fessed religion and died protesting his Innocence. IliTomB l iwi by Derauit. Washington, June 9.
