The third acaalon of tbo Flfty i-lghtli
oongreaa will ticgln at noon today, tmt
thero will bo 110 practical work done un
til tomorrow, when tlie tneeaage Of the
preeldeut will bo read and the two
bouaea will ad tie down to bualneaa. llio
death of ftenatora Hoar and Quay will
tie announced to tho eenate Immediately
after Ita meeting and wMI ba followed
by tha Immediate adjournment of that
body. It la preauuind that a almllar
courea will bo puratied In the houao.
Aa heretofora remarked, tho abort aea-
alon la not a 1 petted to be of extraordi
nary internet Hpeaker Cannon baa leeti
(looted aa laying that there will not be
more than time enough to conalder and
paai tha regular appmitriatlon bill and
hla Judgment In regard to tlila la very
likely to be found correct. Undoubtedly
a number of tnattera will be prnpoacd
for consideration, but it hr improbable
that many of them will recelvo atten
tion or at any rata ba acted upon. ,
It baa been auggaated by aotne of the
Waablngton correapomlenta tlmt lu the
eenate there may bo a controversy for
procedendo between tho aupixirtera of
varlona meaeurea. When the laat aeaalon
"tided tho bouoa bill to amend tho Philip
pine civil government law waa pending
m tha aenata aa tha undnlahed buelncaa.
Tbla meaaura ronaetiuently baa tha ad
vantage of position and It la understood
that Senator Lodge, who baa charge Of
It, will endeavor to have It retain tbla
advantage until It haa boen finally dis
posed of. Near tha close of the laat aea
alon tha lata ftenator Hoar gave notice
that Immediately after the routlue bual
neaa on tha aecoud day of the session
be would aak to have tha aenata con
alder tha bill for tho protection of tho
president of tha United States and It la
thought that aonie other member of tha
aenata Judiciary committee will take
charge of thla bill and urge Ita consider
ation. At all aventa It la probable that
tho measure will bo promptly brought
forward and that there wilt bo an ur
gent demand for action upon It Thero
la perhaps a leaa general Interest In thla
proposed leglalatton than existed when
It waa first Introduced, but undoubtedly
tho sentiment In favor of It la attll very
etrong. ,
Another matter which wilt have early
presentation to the attention of the aen
ata, If tha now outlined program la ad
hered to, la tha house bill for preventing
tha adulteration or misbranding of foods
or drugs and for regulating trafflo
therein. Thla meaaaro waa postponed
from time to time during tha last ses
sion. Thero la a number of other bills
on tho aenata calendar, among them one
of conetderahle Importance which pro-
vldea for eatabllahlng an Information
and dtaplay bnreau at tha Kills Island
Immigration etatton for the purpose of
aiding In tbo distribution of Immlgranta
to parts of tha country where they are
moat needed. Thla proposed legislation
should encounter no oppoeltlon and It
seems safe to aay that It will bo
promptly passed.
Thero ara comparatively few Impor
tant Mile on tho house calendar, It hav
ing been tho policy of tho leaders dur
ing tha last aeeeton to leave many meae
urea In tbo banda of the committees to
which they were wf erred. Tho house
will get to work without delay In tha
regular annual appropriation bills, some
of which ara already In an advanced
atato of preparation, and It la assumed
that thee will ba disposed of by the
houoe beforo tho expiration of tho aee-
slon.
Tho indifference displayed by tho
v a dime latere, ted organlaattona to tha
charter rhangee that ought to be made
by tho coming legislature Is not a gol
otaten. Many Importaat problems, in
volving vital tuesttooa, will have to be
met and careful consideration by thoa
who ara beat qualified to advtea would
bo meet helpful to tba lawmakers. But
no effort to being made to reach a con
aeoeua of opinion In advance. Membera
of the legislature ara aura to he con
fronted with conflicting demanda calcw
lated to prod oca coufoetoa If not to
nolllfy tho real wlahea of tho majority

These facta are very auggestlve of the.

which could not fall to crento among

If the railroads had been able to do

trying to do ta to get awny from tho

go bnck to the assessment which they
enjrtyed when demo-pop fiislonlsts were

list IVrhapa some of the chronic kick

they would fare better either by letting

If the council would establish a rule
and stick to It, that It would entertain
no applications for tax reduction that
had not first lMen presented to the
Hoard of llevtew. It would relieve itaelf
of a whole lot of bother.
Five mrtubcra of tbo city council of

Iowa shippers are asking the state

Numerous examples prove that a woman
who sets about an adroit financial opera
tion tins little to learn from th slower
se.x. Oherlln has an old-laanioiieu Dana
whone ofllcLaiu loaned a sum, nearly double
thu amount of the bank's capital, to a
woman on mysterious collateral of princely
value. It is the old story. Tha directors
were not consulted. Perhaps they would
have asked qneatlona and ungalluntly re
fused to make the loon. The woman cua
tomer spoke In the language of millions
and pioved to be too much for bank of
ficial who would have looked askance at
a VA) note prem nted for dlacount by an or
dinary, everyday Oberllner If It was not
endoraed and wltneased with tha names
of one or more of the solid men of the
town.
Awaiting further developments with re
spect to this empress of finance and her
collateral lild away In the safes of hard
hearted buHlucaa men who are not supposed
to bo easily moved by the vernacular of
frensled finance glibly used by smart
women, we may recur to the performances
of the Iloatun woman bnnker who, a few
yenrs ago, brought swarma of clients to
her office upon the promise of unheard-of
dividends nnd Impossible rates of Interest;
nnd to the exploits of Mme. Humbert, who
actualized the possibilities of fortune-making
with nlry prospeetuseH realized HS.OOO,
OII0 on securities valued at a score of
millions which the dupes believed were
smigly lnld away In a certain great safe
that, when opened by the minions of law,
after the unwinding of miles of red tape
In the French courts, wns found to contain
goods and chattels of the value of 70 cents;
this and nothing more.
The credulity of avaricious mankind when
etherized by the Importunities of able
women financiers passes understanding.
When the seasoned veterans behind the
counter hand over the funds to the Irre
sistible priestesHes of high finance with a
mortgage on a castle In Bpnin or pinch
buck securities as "collateral," Is it any
wonder that callow Investors rush Into the
srms of crnfty promoters? In the great
game of financial finesse women have
proved to ba adroit players. Diverted to
legitimate enterprise, tho subtle genius of
women who enn explode banks, enmesh
the cautious men of money and astound
the world with the magnitude of their
ventures would put the successes of mere
men to the blush. Dynamiting bank vaults
and carrying off the loot while the vil
lage sleeps Is at best a bungling perform
ance. A shrewd woman, armed with the
artillery of the hypnotlo eye and the gra
cious smile, brings bank wrecking to the
perfection of a fine art.
GREAT RRI.IUIOl'S COMBIXK.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
That Is a very ambitious conception which
waa brotight out by the Itev. 8. Edward
Young with regard to the tOOth anniversary
of Luther's decisive atep In protesting
against the clerical abuses which gave rise
to Protestantism. In 1917 It will be four
centuries since the dissident priest nailed
his theses to the cathedral door and started
the movement which haa developed 200.000.
000 Protestant throughout the world.
Mr. Young's conception Is that the In
tervening twelve years be. spent In bring
ing all tho Protestant organisations of the
world Into common sctlon for an appro
priate celebration of the epoch-making
event. If that were all, the project would
be an ambltioua one; hut the conception
doea not step there. It Is that thle organ
isation would create common ground for
the practical union of all the Protestant
beliefs under auch a central direction aa
would meet the universal approval. Still,
Mr. Young carries hla conception further,
to the degree that with auch a Protestant
union effected It would not be long until
Proteatants and Catholics were aceklng the
basis of practical agreement that would
bring them Into permanent harmony.
While no ene can fail to recognise th
magnitude of the purpose a cold and un
impassioned calculation of Ita feasibility
will be likely to conclude that twelve y.-nra
Is ample time to prepare a celebration of
Luther's great protest, but It la all too
short to bring together In practical union
all the Protestant accta. to say nothing of
the Catholic. It la to be recognised that
In th past half century the world haa
made wonderful strides In freeing Itaelf
from Interdenominational prejudices. But
It takes a very aanguine estimate to be
lieve that they ran be so entirely wiped
out In a dozen yeara more aa to permit a
practical union of all ahadea of opinion,
from High Ohurvli Episcopalian to Primi
tive Methodist.
Blill, the aim Is one which it will do no
harm to keep In view. Aa Bydney Mid,
the shaft aimed at the midday sun la. cer
tain to fly higher than that aimed at th
wayalde bush. The Luther quadrlcenten
nlal la a valid reason for bringing all the
Protestant aorld Into Joint action, and
whatever adance B may make toward
church unity will be re much gain for the
world.

banishment of flaring clrci p-etr with
which the country's deadwalia have been
transformed Into menagerie if color for
generations past. The snnojncerrer.t of
the resolution given, out In Nw York
says: "The day of th flarlrg circus
poster is shout over In the circus busi
ness. In one way thla Is to be lamented,
because people, especially In the wtt.

But Its real value as an advertising me
dium Is doubtful. Hereafter the news
papers will get more and deadwalls less.
This slso means that we will not have
to give out anywhere near as many free
tickets as we had to In the past."
Mayor McClellnn Is "standing pat" In
his position that advertising signs should
be removed from the subway stations.
He ha aaked Corporation Counsel D
laney for an opinion as to the mayor's
power to take Independent action toward
removing the placards. Mr. McCletlan haa
never made much of a secret of hla opin
ion that the Rapid Transit commission
Is an undemocratic body and unrepre
sentative of the people, and It Is believed
that he will take extreme pleasure In
going over its head, accomplishing the
popular desire of tearing down the slsns
and repairing the mutilations. The Mu
nicipal Art society publishea a memorial
urging the mayor to remove the tunnel
advertising signs.
There sre scores of laboring men snd
young clerks engaged da.ly In and about
tho Chinese section of New York who
take their midday meals In th Chine.-
restaurants.
They can get ss much solid food and
satisfying food for thilr money as can
be had anywhere. There Is a certain
splclness about the cookery that entices
and please the American appetite, sick
of pork and beans, and rhtnp chop houe
meats, and the tea served Is not a mess
of steaming slops, but as good aa the
average diner Is served with at the
Waldorf or In the clubs.
There Is one commendable thing about
the Chinese method of serving tea. There
Is a covered dish filled to the beim with
real tea leaves, and Junt enough hot wa

Into the small china cup moro wa'er li
poured upon the leaves from a Jug thit

In that section the waiter brings to his
customer one big earthenware cup that
could be thrown against a stone wall with
out Injury. This Is filled with a steaming
decoctlorrthat comes from an urn thst

Tho Chinese waiter will bring you all
the sugar needed or desired, but If you
mention milk or cream he shake his
head.
He has no desire to aid you In what
he regards ns bad taste, the adulteration
of a good drink, and slow suicide. .W"hen

The Tribune estimates editorially that tho

In this respect they are living up to their

Electric cars running very close to each
other go along the street, and they, with
the trucks, express wagons, and the many
automobile and carriages which are con
stantly going to and from the hotel, give
the cabman a great opportunity to run
down and maim the pedestrians. When
the motor car Is unable to get a man the
cabman generally does. The cabman la a
little more ftcndWh than the motorman.
The latter kills his victim almost Instantly.
The cabman knock him down, runs a
wheel over him, drives his horse across
him. breaking a few bone and disfiguring
him. The motorman rings his gong some
times, which gives the person a chance tc
escape. The cabman shows n little mercy
occasionally by running his wheels against

LOST ART OF LCIiiar.

John Ollmer Bpee.1 la Alns'ees
There Is not only no t!m for lelure. hut
It Is getting to be that when a man la sus
pected of reaching a time of life when
periods of rest are necessary to him he Is
relegated to the rear ranks with the undis
guised purpose of Paling him in the for
ward rush on th first opportunity. I am
credibly Informed that an average man past
40. who gets out of employment, finds It
next to Impossible to place himself again
In what Is snythlng like a stable and per
manent position. One large trunk line rail
road recently dismissed sfl the men In It
employ, not holding chief or high executive
positions, who were past 40 years old. and
filled the vacancies with youths. These ar
not merely Idle statements, but are solemn
and painful facts, facts which may lead to
a widespread dissatisfaction that one day
may express Itself most dangerously.
Bo I plead for a better, a broader leisure,
a time for gentle thoughts and gentle
deeds. There Is lots of time, so why be In
such a tearing hurry? To consume time
lese strenuously will not waste time, but
give us more. We will live longer, we will
live better, and for that very reason I
thoroughly believe that we will work bet
ter and work longer. Thla Is no suggestion
In favor of Idleness, whose proper portion
Is barrenness. Idleness and lelsur hare
nothing really In common: Idleness la th
antithesis of work; leisure Is work's corol
lary, the one following the other aa conse
quence, reward, and also preparation for
renewed and better effort.
We even give our sharpened rasors a
rest, for fear that they -will become per
manently dull; so why not men? Common
sense counsels it, reason commands It, ex
perience warns us thnt It Is essential to
life, ua well aa happiness. And by rest I
do not mean merely sleep, but that other
awakening rest which we called leisure,
when we had or PTared th tlmo to prac
tice It. Our grandfathers emoked pipes by
hospitable hearths, they drank claret, they
danced the minuet de la cour; w Inhale
cigarettes, we drink high balls, and do the
two-step with a hop, skip and a Jump. The
ago of leisure even In dlvertisement seems
to have passed; but I sincerely trust It bus
not gone beyond recall.
