When it became apparent on the second roll call that the democrats would have a quorum the republicans voted against the resolution and it passed—177-75.

Comments in London on the Sudden Decline. LONDON, Feb. 7. ‘The price of bar silver today, reached the lowest point ever Known. It was quoted this afternoon In the market here at 29 13- 16d per ounce. The market Was flat. The price today was 1-3d lower than that of yesterday. There was also a further decline in the Price of rupee paper. Yesterday the market closed at 50 which was a decline of Son the day. Today the quotation was 58. This is much the lowest price ever re- corded. ‘The Times, commenting on the extra- ordinary low price of silver, says that In- dian exchange now sympathizes with silver to some extent, but not wholly, for if the mints of India had not been closed the rupee would be worth about 11 pence 1 farthing, whereas it is actually worth about I shilling, 2 pence and 1 farthing. The Standard says: The fall that already ‘urred in the value of silver does not promise to be the worst. It add8 that the question of reopening the mints in India is being freely discussed. ‘The Telegraph, in an article on the same subject revi@ the discussion in favor of bimetal- lism, but it adds, England is not likely to recede from the position she took at the late Brussels monetary conference. The fact is, the paper further says, the collapse fs due to overproduction, The lower p-ice is likely to check this, though some mines, It is said, are able to clear a profit with silver at eighteen pence per ounce, or even less. | The Daily News says: “A full trial just been given in the United St the most favorabl to attem’ support the pi Iver by i means. The failure has been so absolute that it is difficult to believe that other gov- ernments or a combination of governments should seriously undertake the task. - LYNCHING IN WISCONSIN. has | | A Rassian Finn Strung Up by Infur- jiated Citizens.

The church goers were just as prompt | in answering in person the call of the | church bells this morning as they have been in attending the demands of fashion and the gay world lately. At St. Matthew there were scores of fashionable heads bent | to receive the penitential ashes and its sug- gestions of mortality, as there were at all the other Catholic churches of the District.

For the first hour the east room was open and the crowd enjoyed staying there or failing in the line and going through again, but after 9 o'clock it was not | fair to the throng outside the mansion to al- | low the early comers too many privileges. The doors of the east room were therefore closed, and the procession passed across the | corridor and over the bridge again to the | Street. The arrangements for handling the | big crowd were excellent and worked with- | out a hitch, The blue room was not near as deserted old-timers have found it on the occasion of public receptions. Hitherto representa- tives of the President's official family com- | fortably filled it before the descent of the receiving party. Among them were Marshal | and Mrs. A. A.

It is trimmed elegantly with duchess lace. She wore her diamond necklace, and other ornaments gleamed in ; her corsage. She wore no gloves and shook | hands vigorously all evening. Mrs. Steven- son followed her example and the cabinet | ladies did the same. Their gloves, which | were spotless in the start, were black at the close of the evening.

Army Officers as High School In- stractors. ‘The proposition have officers of the army detailed as military instructors at high schools in the principal cities is cf for the present year at least. Although the project was brought to the attention of the military authorities in the mildest sort of a way, it found many earnest advocates in the War Department, and if it had been pressed more vigorously before all the de- tails of this character had been made it would undoubtedly have received more fa- vorable consideration at the hands of those in authority. Its most formidable opponent is Assistant Secretary Doe, who is of opin- jon that the results would by no means justify the distraction of army officers from more ——— — as one ae of troops. le does that the detail will sumticien ae benefit the young men to warrant taking officers from their companies.

Notice how much of the “dead lift” there ts about it; the feet and legs are made to act as levers, not only to force the weight of the body up, but also the additional ight, which is the result of inertia. Instead o! raising the chest and animating the bedy to Uft its own weight, we bend the body nearly doubie, cramping the organs, hindering free circulation and consequently easy preath- ing. Panting for breath, we reach the top, but in the effort what a spectacle we pre- sent! Going upstairs is and healthful when properly done.
