Special to the Tribune,
Washington, I). C., July 7.
Senator I’otuerene has had bis
lling at the trust beads, and in
the course of bis argument be
fore the Senate contended that
0 “the victories of the Court” will
be lost to the Government, un
less there are criminal prosecu
tions of the officials of the Stan
dard Oil Company and the Ameri*
ran Tobacco Company. The Ohio
Senator declared that (lie Slier
man. Anti-trust Law was speci
fic in its authority to press such
suit against those who have oper
ated in restraint of trade. Mr.
Pomerene thought that it was
"high time that, the American
people should understand whe
ther the stars and stripes are
to be the emblem of the pure
and free, or whether that emblem
shall be the oil barrel or tile to
bacco plant. ” His glittering
generalities were pleasing to his
audience, but, the general im
pression in Washington is that
his speech was not taken very
seriously. Senator Kenyon of
Iowa, who was recently connect
ed with the Department of Jus
tice, took up the cudgels in be
half of Attorney General Wiek
trsliam, during the Pomerene
speech, and declared that tlm pre
sent head of the Department of
Justice had achieved more re
sults in his prosecution of trusts
than any of his predecessors. He
added that Mr. Wiekorsham did
not require instructions from Con
gross to do his duty. Senator
llitclieoek of Nebraska injected
into the discussion the remark
that Attorney General Harmon
was the first to take tin- posi
tion "guilt, is personal."

Members held their forces with
the exception of Representative;
Francis of Ohio, who deserted his
party. Representative Berger, the
Milwaukee socialist, voted for the
bill as did Representative Aiken
of New York. A large number
of progressive Republicans voted
for the measure and there were
three or four who have hereto

the country, concerning which a
controversy lias existed for many
years in the War Department.
In the course of a short address
before the Senate upon this sub
ject, the Nebraska Member said
that lie was frank to admit that
he had a local interest in the
matter, and he indicated that 111is
interest had to do with ‘‘fair
treatment’’ for some forty fam
ilies living in his home town. He
said lie believed the Committee
on Military Affairs of the Sen
ate should grant hearings and
make some investigations upon
the relative merits of the two
systems, which “have been tried
from time to time, and which
have been abandoned and resum
ed and abandoned and resumed,
each time at a considerable ex
pense and each time with great
disturbances to the organization

called attention to the fact that
Senator Warren of Wyoming, had
introduced a resolution relating
to the subject, and he asked that
the Committee on Military Af

LADY IS HEAVY CONSUMER
She Is Supported by the Toil of Oth
ers, Who Acquiesce Cheerfully to
the Condition.
Economically the lady la supported
by the toil of others, but while this is
equally true of other classes of soci
ety, tlie oddity of her case consista of
the ncquesience of those most con
corned; The lady herself feels no un
easiness In her equivocal situation,
and the toilers who support her do
so with enthusiasm. She is not a pro
ducer; in most, communities produc
tive labor is by consent unladylike.
On the other hand, she Is the heaviest
of consumers.
Tho women of the working classes
have been saved by their work itself.
In the shop and the factory they have
learned what the nursery can teach.
Hut the lady has had no social train
ing whatever; the noticeable weak
ness tif her play at. bridge is a tend
ency to work for her own hand. As
the gentleman decays, the lady sur
vives as tho strongest evidence of his
former predominance. Where he set.'
her, there she slays. One after an-,
other tlie fabrics that supimrled her
have tottered, but she remains, adapt-;
Ing herself to each new set of circum
stances as It arises. It is possible that
an advancing social sentiment will ex
tlnguish her altogether, but. she can
never 'bo forgotten.
AT 60 DEGREES BELOW ZERO
)-(ow the Intense Cold of Winter In
the Far Northwest Affects Man
and Animals.
"I asked an Alaskan pioneer who
was crossing to his old home in Swe
den what happened when the ther
mometer goes down to 60 and 80 de
grees below zero," said Marshall J.
Taylor of Seattle, Wash. "At 60 de
grees below,” he said, “the exposed
ears, hands or nose will freeze In go
ing a quarter of a mile under ordinary
circumstances; but the children go
and coino from school as usual with
out suffering from the cold provided
Iheir faces and hands are protected.
"They soon get used to It. But cau
tion must be used to avoid drawing
the cold air into the lungs, and it is
dangerous to breathe through the
mouth. More die from pneumonia
brought on by freezing (he lungs in
thnt way lhat from any other form of
exposure. Horses are protected by
breathing hags, which extend down
from the nose of the animal about
eighteen inches and are open at the
bottom. The breath which is exhaled
warms the air In the hag before It Is
inhaled and drawn into the lungs. And
men wear a ‘parky’ or headdress
which extends over the face and af
fords similar protection.
"In the Canadian districts the North
west Mounted police regulate the treat
ment of horses on the freight wagons
and stage lines in a most humane
manner, so as to prevent them from
suffering in this way.”—Washington
Herald.
Roman Bricks.
When the preparations for rebuild
ing the Campanile In Venice were un
dertaken the archaeologists were af
forded an opportunity 'to make some
interesting studies of the bricks.
It was found that they had been
used In arches, fortifications, the tops
of walls and in other ways before
they were built into the Campanile,
and that, they were not Venetian but
Roman bricks.
These ancient bricks were made in
slices, for in many the layers could be
seen undisturbed. It Is said that
bricks made this way can bear a
greater weight than modern bricks.
The bricks examined were of the
first, century. One of them here the
imprint of a horseshoe, which, may
prove that Romans used a horseshoe
like ours although it is generally be
lieved that their horseshoes were
strapped on, not nailed.—Harper's
Weekly.
Had Lost Hia Chance.
Years ago when the “Panhandle” rail
road was in course of construction its
progress was a matter of great inter
est to the people of the region, says
the Youth’s Companion. A farmer
who sold provisions to the contractors
often reached the place wtysre the men
were at work at meal time. He was
greatly impressed at their voracity.
The work was hard and when the din
ner bell rang every man made a dash
for the table and before one could be
lieve it possible the food had disap
peared. One day a workman on his
way to the table tripped on the root
of a tree and fell. He lay quite still,
making no attempt to rise. The farm
er rushed to him in great concern.
"Are you badly hurt?" he asked. "No.”
answered th% man. “Well, why don't
you get up and go to dinner?” "No
use," returned the other, sadly. "It's
too late now.”
Mainz Cathedral in Danger.
The famous Mainz cathedral, one of
the oldest and most Interesting in Eu
rope, is stated to bo in serious dan
ger, owing to the action of under
ground water. Special drainage opera
tions have before been carried out
with a view to removing the danger,
but apparently the results have not
been lasting, water having again col
lected, and it is feared thal the ef
fects on the foundations of the cathe
dral will be disastrous. It is now
proposed to proceed without delay
with the work of strengthening the
foundations, not only of the cathe
dral, but also of several other old
buildings, including the ducal rastle.
HE PRAYED FOR LUCY GRAY
Bashful Young Curate Didn’t Know
Object of Solicitude Was Entry
in Steeplechase.
How to win tbe hearts of his con
gregation was unconsciously solved by
an innocent young curate. Dean Hole,
I in his "Letters,” tells the following
story:
"A young curate a good fellow, bulj
! very shy and bashful, came into u
parish which was occupied by York
shire yeomen who bred horses and
pode them and sometimes had steeple
chases. He did not get. on and was
very much depressed.
“One day the clerk said to him: 'If
you please, sir, the prayers of tha
church are desired for Lucy Gray.’
“ ‘Very well,’ said the curate, and
at every service In which the ptay
er for all sorts and conditions of men
was offered the church was asked to
pray for Lucy Gray, till one morn
ing the clerk rushed into the vestry
and said:
” 'You needn't pray for Lucy Gray
tiny more; she’s won the steeple
chase.’
"’Have I been praying for a horse?’
asked the curate. ‘I shall leave tho
place.’
"But the clerk said: ‘You'll do
nawt of the sort, sir; I thought little
of ye w-hen ye came, but now ye’ve
got the hearts of them all and ye
pan do what ye like in the parish
since ye took to praying for that
horse.’ ’’
MUSIC IS AUDIBLE BEAUTY
Its Charm Results From the Marriage
of a Spiritual fact With a Ma
terial Form.
Music is both body and soul, like
the man who delights in it. Its body
is beauty in the sphere of sound—t
audible beauty. But in this very word
beauty is implied a soul, a moral end,
a meaning of some sort, which makes
it of interest to the inner life of man,
which relates to our invisible and real
self. This beauty, like all other, re
sults from the marriage of a spiritual
fact with a material form, from the
rendering external, and an object of
sense that lives in essence only In the
soul. Here the material part, which is
measured sound, is the embodiment
and sensible representative, as well
as the reacting cause, of that which
we call impulse, sentiment, feeliug,
the spring of all our action and ex
pression. In a word, it is tho lan
guage of the heart—not an arbitrary
and conventional representative, as a
spoken or written word is, but a
natural, invariable, pure type and cor
respondence. Speech is the language
of ideas, the communicator of thought,
the Mercury of the intellectual Olym
pus enthroned in each of us.—John
Sullivan Dwight.
Drinking Wells.
The study of various methods of
preventing inundations to which
French engineers have been led by
the disastrous floods in the basin of
the Seine last winter has brought to
light a very curious plan for dispos
ing of surplus water which has been
employed during the last five years
by the count of Beauchamp on his ex
tensive estates between Poitiers and
Avalion. Formerly his lands were
subjected to disastrous Inundations,
but the trouble has been entirely
averted by means of “drinking wells."
They are dug to a depth of 50 or 60
feet, at chosen points, penetrating a
layer which is very absorbent for wa
ter. The wells are walled with loose
stones, and the surface water is led
by ditches and barriers of earth not
directly into them but to their neigh
borhood, whence it finds its way in by
percolation through the walls. It is
thus freed from mud, which would
quickly choke the wells. The success
of the plan depends upon favorable dis
position of the geologic strata.—
Youth’s Companion.
Always Excuses.
Col. Edward H. K. Green, discussing
business success at the Waldorf-Asto
ria in New York, said:
"The man who succeeds is the man
who does what he sets out to do—nol
the man who makes excuses.
"Excuses are cheap and easy, but
success is hard and rare. Excuses,
though, we meet everywhere. Only
yesterday, in a downtown restaurant,
they gave me a tough chicken.
“ ‘Waiter,’ I said, ‘this chicken is
old.’
“ ‘Yes. sir,' said the waiter. ‘A very
healthy bird, sir. Otherwise, of course,
it couldn’t have lived to such a great
age.’ ”
Liked Them Eat.
The contention of Dr. Moots, before
the Ohio Medical association, that
(here “must l>e something wrong with
the internal workings” of thin women,
will find ready indorsement among the
Apache Indians. Some years ago a
delegation from that tribe came to
New York, and at a reception given
for them a Woman asked one of the
chiefs what he thought of the white
women he had seen. The late Gov.
Richard McCormick, who had charge
of the party, reluctantly returned the
answer given to him by the interpre
ter: “White women are all thin and
sick—good women are fat.”

Just as the proper tools produce the best work, so does a respon
sive key action increase the effciency of a stenographer. It saves
her strength. Therefore, she has a better grip on her work, is
more accurate, more rapid, gets a greater quantity of work done.
There is no “three-o’clock fatigue” where the Monarch is used,
and a few days’ trial will convince you of this fact.
