'KITCHIN LEADS- DEBATE | Says Democrats Have Done More in | Important Legislation Than the Re- Publicans Accomplished in Ten Years—Dalzell in Charge of Oppo- | sition to Measure. Washington, April 17.—The reci- procity bill, embodying President Taft's tariff compact with Canada and | differing in no essential detail from the McCall bill passed by the house last session, has been taken up in the house. For three days it is expected | to hold the attention of that body. At | the end of that time Democrats and | Republicans are-expected to join in passing it by a large majority. | The dehate on the measure was be- | gun by Representative Clande Kitchin | of North Carolina. In an hour's ad- | dress, beginning with a review of | Democratic pledges and performance | he declared that the Canadian r | i | procity bill was the first move toward | u downward revision of the tarift. “A united Democracy gives thanks | to President Taft for calling this ex- tra session of congress” said Mr. | Kitchin, “granting an opportunity to | Democrats to quicken the fulfillment of their pledges to the people. How well they have embraced these oppor- tunities thus far, the records of the last ten days will show.” Says Democrats Are Doing Things. i Mr. Kitchin declared the Democratic house had done more in the two weeks | of the present session than Republic- an congresses had accomplished in ten years. He referred to the passage | senators; economy in the house man- agement; election of the committees of the house; passage of a bill for pre- election publicity of campaign funds and the taking np of tariff revision, With twenty hours’ debate on the subject, ten hours to each side agreed upon, Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee leads the reciprocity clL.mpions, and Represen- tative Dalzell cf Pennsylvania the op- position. Mr. Underwood has yielded five hours of his time to Mr. McCall of Massachusetts, who will urge the ratification of the agreement from the Republican side. ! Mr. Underwood announced that | every effort will be made to complete the discussion within three legislative days and predicted that the bill would | be passed and ready for the senate hy | the middle of the week. | | | | FOUR DROWN IN CESSPOOL | Three Overcome While Attempting to Rescue Others, Corona, Ill, April 17.—Father, son |and two friends were drowned in a cesspool here.

Colorado Springs, Colo., April 17.— “Bill” Taylor, a negro holdup man, duel with Dr. R. W. Reasoner, who wag himself slain in the fight. Taylor stopped the physician while the latter was answering a sick call. After giving up his watch and stick- pin, Dr. Reasoner drew his revolver and opened fire. The negro returned the shots, both men receiving fatal wounds. RUCKER BILL IS PASSED Provides for Publicity of Congression- al Campaign Funds. ‘Washington, April 17.—By a unani- mous vote, 303 to 0, the house passed the Rucker bill for ante-election pub- licity of congressional contributions. The measure was the subject of a bitter fight by the Republicans to force adoption of an amendment for publicity of expenses at the primaries. All amendments to this end were defeated : Making Insurance Maps. In making insurance maps certain features are cousidered essential, and the growth of the system has proved their wisdom and changed them only as regards the amount of detail that has been incorporated. Of first impor- tance were the colors to show the dif- ferent materials used in the construc- tion. of a building. Naturally red seemed a proper color to signify brick and yellow to signify wood. These colors have always been employed for these materials. Other colors have been added from time to time, thus | blue for stone, gray for iron, etc. In fixing signs and characters for such details as stairways, fire escapes, dumb waiter shafts, ete., a principal object was to make them plain and | distinct. ‘They must be easily under- stood by an underwriter without ref- erence to my key or marginal foot- notes, This object hus been carried out, with the result that when these insur- ance maps are examined by an insur- | ance man today each sign or charac- ter has such an individuality of its own that it can be easily distinguished and is not confused with another.— Cassier's Magazine. The Word “Fudge.” “IFudge” is a word with a history. There are prosaic etymologists, as there always are, who derive it from a Gaellc word meaning deception, but { Isnac Disraeli's view is much more in- teresting. - He derives it from a certain Captain Fudge, who seems to have been a marine Munchausen. “You fudge it" is saild to have been his crew’s equivalent to the modern “Rats!” In a collection of some pa- pers of Willlam Crouch, the Quaker, published in 1712 it s recorded that one Degory Marshall informed Crouch that “in the year 1664 we were sen- itenced for banishment to Jamaica by | Judges Hyde and Twisden, afd our number was fifty-five. We were put on board the ship Black Eagle. The master's name was Fudge, by some called Lying Fudge.”—London Stand- ard. Lelpzig is the largest publication cen- ter in the world. More books and pe- riodicals are printed there than any- where else, and more people are en- {gaged in making and using printers’ supplies than in London, New York, Berlin or Paris. Many of the orders for these publications come from Eng- land, France, Austria and other coun- tries because the mechanical work can be done In Leipzig much cheaper than elsewhere. More than half of the { transactions in books take place at the Leipzig book fair, which occurs every year at the jubilate, the first week in Easter, when booksellers and publish- ers from all parts of Germany assem- ble to compare and balance accounts and to make contracts for the next year. A Bawbeo From Carlyle. T used to see Carlyle when I lived as a child in Chelsea. I regarded him with extraordinary aversion and fear. One day 1 was sent to post a letter. I suppose 1 was older, though uncon- sclous, as always, of anything ahead. I cannoned into Carlyle. The impact laid me flat on the pavement, where I yelled for some minutes, though sooth- ed eventually by England's great think- er. And then—this is the point of the story—Carlyle dived into his pockets, produced a halfpenny and said kind- | 1y, “Here is a bawbee for Bobby.” 1 have the halfpenny to this day. When Mr. Carlyle died I was put into deep mourning. He was the first and per- haps the most interesting of all my street acquaintances.—Robert Ross in London Bystander. Self Rellance. The spirit of self help is the root of all genulne growth in the Individual, and, exhibited in the lives of many, it constitutes the true source of national vigor and strength. Help from with- out is often enfeebling in its effects, but help from within invariably favig- orates. Whatever is done for men or classes to a certaln extent takes away the stimulus and necessity of doing for themselves, and where men are sub- Jected to overguidance and overgovern- i ment the Inevitable tendency is to ren- der them comparatively helpless.—Sam- uel Smiles. A Field at Home. A Boston gentleman was showing a ‘West African who is interested in ( missionary work a number of photo- | graphs. - “What is this?’ asked the visitor, gazing in wonder at one of them. “Oh, that’s a snapshot taken during a football scrimmage at the stadium.” “But has your church no mission- aries to send among these people?” was the quick ~rejoinder. — Boston Transcript.

APPEAL TO CONGRESSMEN Telegrams Sent From St. Paul Head- quarters to La Follette and Other Friends of the Men Urging an In- vestigation of the Action of the Postmaster General. St. Paul, April 17.—Postmaster Gen- eral Hitchcock struck again at the pewly organized Brotherhood of Rail- way Mail Clerks by discharging Clyde L. Duff of this city, for “pernicious ac- tivity in endeavoring to foment discon- | tent on the part of tellow employes | in the railway mail service.” Duff’s resignation is réquested at ! once and he is ordered to report for duty as soon as possible as a post- office clerk at Minneapolis. Friday Mr. Hitcheock dismissed Carl C. Van Dyke, another St. Paul mail clgrk, on similar grounds and appointed him a clerk in the St. Paul postoffice. Duff's transfer carries with it a reduction of $200 'a year in salary. Neither Van Dyke nor Duff has decided whether they will take the positions offered. Congressmen Appealed To. As a result of the two dismissals, Wwhich are viewed as a renewal of the department’s attack on the individual cierks, the railvay mail men of the Tenth division are up in arms. Telegrams were sent to Senators La ' Follette, Nelson and Representative F. C. Stev- ens, to Secretary Morrison of the Arierican Federation of Labor and to Cdngressman Victor Berger, the Mil- watkee Socialist, informing them of this new step of the départment and asking that the. congressmen demand some kind of an iuvestigation and a statement from the postmaster gen- eral. One Thing She Could Do For Him. OUue sSaturday afternoon recently a frail little man started to cross Broad- way at Forty-second street just when all sorts of fast moving vehicles were whirling their matinee patrons up Brondway. At the sume instant a very fleshy lady started from the curb divectly opposite with the same pur- pose In mind. By remarkable luck both succeeded in escaping the passing wheels; but, as fate would bave it, the little man, whose eves were busy ogling the traf- fic on either side of him, darted plump into the oncoming woman at the mid- dle of the street. The result was a sickening collision, with the lit@le man down and out. “You should have looked where you were going,” said the fleshy woman, bending over the victim on the curb, to which he had been carried by a traffic policeman. “But is there any- thing I can do for you?” “Yes,” he replied faintly, opening his eyes a moment. *“Get the number of the automobile that struck me.”— Lippincott's, Holy Lands of All Religions. Christians call Palestine the Holy Land because it was the birthplace of the Christian religion on earth as well as that of the Saviour, whose birth, ministry and death are inseparably assoclated with the history of Jeru- salem and vicinity. To the Moham- medans Mecca, In Arabia, is the holy ‘and, it being the birthplace of Mo- hammed, the saviour of the followers of that faith. India is the holy land of the Chinese and other oriental Buddhists, it being the native land of Bnkya Nuni, the supreme Buddha. EIis, one of the several divisions of the ancient Pelo- pofinesus, was the Mecca and the Jeru- salem of the anclent Greeks. The temple of Olympus Zeus was situated at Llis, and the sacred festivals were beld there each year. With Achala it is at present a part of Greece. The bellevers in the Sinto religion make annual pligrimage to Sitsa Kara, the immense stone pillar where their su- preme ruler last stood while talking to men.—New York World. Sealing a Mine. The brilliancy of the clear autumn night was dimming in the first faint light of the dawn when the work of sealing the shafts began. Up into the cloudless sky, through the tangled steel work of the tipple, a’ tall tower of black smoke 300 feet high poured up into the still air and faded into the dawn. In two hours the black pits were covered, first with a layer of rails, and then on this was laid a solid bed of concrete, and two hours later only a few thin wisps of smoke that| poured up through cracks along the edges of the great seal, like steam beneath the lid of a teakettle, told of the inferno that was seething in the mine 400 feet below. With the air ctit off and the shaft sealed the fire could live only so loug as sufficient oxygen | remained to feed the flames.—Atlantic Monthly. - His Touchy Way. “He's awfully touchy, isn’t he?” “1 should say-he was. A man who bad a grudge against him defied him to come out and fight, and he got so mad at the fellow that he locked him self In his office and stayed there two | days."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Still She Liked Him. 8he—Yes, I like Ted. He is so ex- travagant. He—That Is bardly the best quality for a husband, is it? She—Of course not; 1 am not golng to mxrry him.—Boston Herald. A Rite and a Wrong. “Marriage,” remarked the professor, “was a rite practiced by the an- clents"— | “And bachelorhood,” interrupted a malden of forty, ‘is a wrong practiced by the modern.”—Boston Transcript. Poindexter, Clapp and | The “Tea Leafer” =~~~ A good deal of the tea consumed by the working classes In the days when Arthur Young complained of the ad- diction to this luxury had never seen either India or China. In one of John Ashton's works on England he cites a case in which a boy charged with gambling stated that the money found in his possession had been made by picking tea leaves. This ied to the dis- covery that many persons made a liv- ing by picking sloe leaves and white- thorn leaves in the fields near Camber- well and selling them to a local cow- keeper for a penny a pound. One man sald he picked from fifty to sixty pounds a day and always found a mar- ket for them. The leaves were subse- quently sold to a wholesale merchant, who obtained as much as 8 shillings a | pound for them under the guise of ten. The merchant was prosecuted and fined, not for adulteration, but for de-| frauding the revenue. And the “tea leafer” is still the slang name for the petty thief.—London Standard Whims of Parrots. “It is odd,” said the Dbird store keeper, “but it is true, how people come into a bird store and expect to open up a conversation with a parrot offhand. They fail and then make up their mind that the parrot is worthless. This will apply to a majority of seekers after a talking parrot. They do not give the bird credit for the sense it actually possesses. There are parrots valued at anywhere from $50 to $300 that will not be coaxed into conversa- tlon with a stranger nor while he is present, although they are the very best of talkers. DIarrots often refuse to perform when there are purchasers looking on, but once the store is clear | | of them they will chatter away through their whole vocabulary as if their very { Hves depended on their being heard. This obstinacy often spoils good sales. Most parrots will talk to a girl or wo- man much quicker and freer than to a | boy or a man."—Browning’s Monthly. | | Ostriches and Their Eggs. !

The Name of Rio de Janeiro. Rio de Janeiro owes her name to the accident of a date and the mistake ot | her discovery. When Alphonso de Souza, the Portuguese navigator, found himself in the spaclous bay he imagin- | ed he had found the mouth of a noble river, and because the day happened to be the 1st of January, 1531, he named the supposed river after the first month of the year. The name was not applied to the city that grew up on the slopes of the hills till many | years afterward, but San Sebastian, the original name, is now almost for- gotten. Rio as a city purchases the beauty of her site at the cost of health, for the glant ridges that form the beautiful background to the town shut out the breezes that might blow trop- ical nuisances harmlessly to sea.—Lon- don Spectator. Astrology and War. It has been stated on what is said to be good authority that a representative of the Prussian government asked of a French astrologer the proper time to pick a quarrel with France. After carefully comparing horoscopes of high officials he answered that any hour in the afternoon as near as possi- ble midway between the 9th and 14th of July, 1870. On the 11th of July ‘William snubbed Benedetti, the French emissary, and on the 12th friendly re- lations ceased.

My wife has never been able to find any good use for the burned matches.” — Washington Her- ald, The Way of the World. “Isn’t it awful? According to the papers, there just seems to be one rev- olution after another.” “Yes. That's the way the world goes round.”—Judge. It is the peculfarity of a fool to be quick in seeing the faults of others while he is blind to his own.
