WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—Speaker Hen- derson sald to-dey that no exact pro- gramme of business in the House on the reassembling to-morrow and during the balance of the week had been made up. The speaker and his assoclates on the rules committee expect early adjourn- ments until appropriation bills and meas- ures before other committees are ready for action by the House. Chere is some prospect of a sharp con- r the consideration of resolu- i inquiry relative to the Treasury Department. Several members are said to have prepared resolutions of this char- sideration for them as ‘“privileged.” It is =ai” however, by those who are au- rities on House procedure that this privilege” would not permit the con- sideration of resolutions to-morrow, but f it did they would be referred to a »mmittee for one week, after which they 14 be called up for immediate consid- tion, The Senate Committee on Forelgn Re- [ations will meet to-morrow to eonsider the bill providing a government for the Hawailan Islands. Senator Cullom, the author of the bill, said to-day that he hoped it would be reported soon and add- ed that as soon as possible after the ac- tion of the committee he would ask the Senatetto take the bill up for considera- tion. So far as has been made known there is no general opposition to the bill, though some of its features will be an- tagonized. A few Senators are urging that the measure be amended 50 as to leave the customs laws applying to the | islands as they now stand and to omit the provision for a delegate in Congress for the present, because of the possible effect of this provision on the constitu- tion in the interest of Puerto Rico and possiL.y in the interest of the Philippines, to say nothing of Cub s PETER S. WILKES DEAD. ‘Was Once a Member of the Confeder- ate Congress. STOCKTON, Jan. 2.—Peter 8. Wilkes, the attorney, once a member of the Con- federate Congress, died at his home this forenoon, after a lingering chronic ill- ness. The deceased was in his seventy- ie was born in Tennessee. and removed to Missouri, where he graduated from a university in 182 A week afterward he was elected to the State Legislature. ‘When the civil war broke out Mr. Wilkes, who was an active Southerner, induced a great many of his acquaintances to enlist in the Southern army. To avold suspicion of personal ambition, he declared that he would never accept an office in_the army, but would remain a private with the com- rades he had induced to join. He was generally known as “colonel” during his later years, but had never held the title. During the last year of the war Mr. Wilkes was elected to the Confederate Congress. At the close of hostilities he fled to Mazatlan, Mexico, where he re- mained until about twenty-five years ago, when he came to this city. Subsequently he returned to Missouri and there mar- ried. A widow ~survives him. The deceased acquired considerable money through his marriage, but it was lost in the ully financial collapse, which wrecked so many persons in this city a number of years ago. _—— A Prosperous Bank. SAN LUIS OBISPO, Jan. 2.—The stock holders of the Andrews Banking Com pany of this city at their annual meeting held here to-day elected the followin, - rectors: J. P.

REWARDS FOR NAVAL OEFICERS President McKinley’s Recom_mendations. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Jan. —The President | has again taken up the question of re- warding the naval officers who partict- pated In the destruction of Cervera's fleet off Santlago, and his final conclu- slons will be embodied shortly in recom- mendations to Congress, either in the form of a renewal of the advancement of Rear Admiral S8ampson and the officers | under him by numbers, with perhaps | some modifications—the acheme which the Senate refused to ratify last spring according to some other method. he Secretary of the 1 his report rec- ommended a. an alternative proposition legislation on the_line of the bill intro- | duced last spring (Senate Bill 5005), which | provides for three classes of medais—one for conspicuous conduct in war, one for extraordinary heroism and one for gen- eral meritorious service, the first to carry with it a perceniage of increase of pay, based upen the rank of the recipient and calculated to take the pl: of the in- crease, which would be the result of pro- motion were that the form of reward given. Efther method would contemplate in addition the thanks of Congress to the commander in chief of the North Atlaniic | squadron and the officers and men under | his command, as they were given to the cpmmander in chief of the Asatic squad- ron and the officers and men under his commend. There also has been a sug- gestion for the creation of the grade of vice admiral for the benefit of Kear Ad- | mrirals Sampson and Schley. | As a resuit of the Sampson-Schley con- troversy the reward of all the subordi ate cfficers in the North Atlantic ron has Leen blocked up to this time it is the urg re of both the Presi- dent and Se Long that justice be done to them and that they obtain the re- wards which they have earned. Preliminary to a decision on his cours. of action, the President and Secretary | Long to-day had a consultation with eight | of the Santiago captains at the Whit House. The naval officers present were: | Chadwick of the New York, Cook of the | Brooklyn, Clark of the Oregon, Philip | (now rear admiral) of the Texas, Evans of the Iowa, Higginson (now rear ad- | miral) of the Massachusetts, Folger of the | New Orleans and Lieutenant Commander Wainwright of the Gloucester. Rear Ad- | miral Sampson was not present These commanding officers were espe- | cially invited by the President, who desir- | ed to hear from their own lips the story | of the battle of Santiago, the general | movements and difficulties of the cam-| paign, including the cruise of the flying squadron In search of Cervera's fleet and | their own ideas as to the method of con- | ferring the rewards. For two hours the | captains talked with the President, who manifested keen interest in their personal accounts of the stirring events off the south coast of Cuba. Some of the con- troverted questions were gone into at length. The consensus of opinfon of the naval officers as developed at the conference seemed to favor the method of reward recommended by Secretary Long—the conferring of medals which would carry with them a percentage of increase of pay in lieu of advancement by numbers. This would compensate for actual promotion both by giving increased pay and by giv- ing to the recipients distinction which would mark them for future service. At the same time, in some cases, it | would work hardship; as for instance in the case of Captain 'Clark. Despite the | herofc service in bringing the Oregon | around the Horn in such marvelous style and the gailant services of the Oregon in the Santiago fight, Captain Clark to- | day is two numbers below his position at the openine of the war. This is due to the advancement of the Manila captains whose promotions were confirmed by the | Senate. Captain Clark, at the conference | to-day, however, was willing_that Secre- tary Long s plan should be adopted in or- der that justice might be done to the others. The President, shortly after the recon- | vening of Congress to-morrow, will trans- | mit his recommendations. It is not im- probable that in doing so he will accom- y them bv a specfal message, calling attention to the grave {njustice which has been done to the commander in chief, of- ficers and men of the North Atlantic squadron in so long withholding from them the rewards to which their gallant service entitles them. CONCLUDES THE HEARING OF CONSPIRACY CASES French High Court Has Not Arrived at a Decision Regarding Guerin and Deroulede. PARIS, Jan. 2. — The High Court (the Senate) concluded the hearing of the con- spiracy cases to-day with counsel's speech in defense of M. Guerin. The court then retired to deliberate on its judgment. The High Court later interrupted its delibera- tions and announced that it had decided by a vote of M8 to 48 that M. Buffet was ulity, with extenuating circumstances: Pt acquitted MM. Godeferay and Deveaux, owing to the large minority in their favor, and {t acquitted MM. Sabran and De Ramel.

Bird, a fast young man, who rented a horse from W. C. Westlake and tried to sell it at a Cruz, was to-day convicted of s:anrt\d Jarceny In Judge Lorigan's court, Fhe jury was out but a few minutes and the entire trial, including the impaneling of a jury, occupied but three hours. Two months ago Bird and Jesse Russell rented two saddle horses from Westlake. Bird went to Santa Cruz, where he tried to dis- pose of his horse. Shortly after the horse was recovered in Watsonville, where it had been sold, and Bird was arrested. About the same time Russell was arrested | for renting a horse from a liveryman at Oakland and disposing of it at Livermore. e 2 The Badger to Be Sold. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2~The Board of Naval Construction has recommended that the steamship Badger, lately the Yumire, shall be sold. The report of the inspectors shows that it will cost not less than $250,000 to put the ship into condition 21 service, and as she cost only $350,000 at the beginning of the war it was decided to recommend to the Secre- tary of the Navy that she be sold.

PERSONAL ACCOUNTS AND MONEY AFFAIRS. The Need of Proper Training: Girls should be taught business—al girls. By business we do not necessarily mean the mechanism of banking or the causes of stock fluctuations or foreign ex- | changes, or the . production, transporta- tion and marketing of products. Every- thing nowadays has in it the element of business. The business training most needed by girls is of a more fundamental character—training in promptness and or- der, in making receipts and expenses har- monize, in anticipating financial contin- | gencles, {n ordinary business customs and usages, in the common formalities of law | and in carrying a purse. 1 Much of this cannot be taught by lec: tures. I a rule, only vate th So long a orders that shall be « the left hand with palm upward, thumb on clasp and elbow gracefully curved at an angle of 100 degrees, leaving the right | hand wholly free to attend to the various | other duties for which two hands were | originally ordained, just so long wiil trol- 1 iway and ofher public information | b s be required to keep fully equipped lost an departments for how to write a re- | out a check, the | f a promissory note and its le- h other business | every-day use. These | ave in them the same to be found in or in Brown in J""and their study is In no ¢ ming a fad, but an intelligent grasp.of these business flfl.’l!l’si ceipt, how wording gal sig forms a will give girls a self-confidence which may help them over many discouraging | and embar ng situations. The Use of Money. | Girls who are not earning salary or! | wages in outside employment should have | a definite week It s they or monthly allowance. taken for granted, of course, that | earn this at home. Idleness should | ald for by the month. In matters of this kind boys and | girls should be on precisely the same footing. To work hard. to improve every | moment, to economize, to avold debt— these are the only sure steps to a com- fortable old age. Girls should be taught to feel that the allowance money is their very own; that they have earned it, and that in spending it they are spending the returns for their own labor. To get $10 from ‘“‘papa” to buy him a Christmas present is not an evidence of sympathy | | between capital and labor. The Great | Teacher taught the needful lesson of | economy by asking that the fragments of | loaves and fishes be gathered that noth- | ing be lost. There are thousands of | | rule. homes In which this same lesson might be repeated dally. A Book of Accounts. Girls will find it to theilr advantage to keep personal accounts; a careful record of their receipts and expenses. This may be done in a simple way and without any attempt at bookkeeping, as this subject is ordinarily understood. Tt is interesting to know at the end of the year the total money spent for hats or gowns or on the summer vacation and to balanc these items t the money spel charity im_ contributed _t fresh air fund or the items for Christmas fts. - This does not mean that one’s life s to be measured by a dollar and cent It may dull one’s sentiment to par- cel out a _$10 bill ipto shoes and ribbons and poor fund and Christma same time the business met nly fe method; it is the only method which {ll keep girls from a cons of insolven It is very pe m which borrows a dollar to give It to cha ity It 1s not ne same way. How to Write a Receipt. A receipt is the written acknowledgment of money or other. value recefved It should state for what the value was re- ceived, whether on account or in full ac- count, or for some particular purpose. All receipts should be dated and the sign: ture should be authoritative. If, for in- stance, you owe Walter W. Smith & Co. Received from Mrs. Helen Brown : the sum of ten dollars ($10) on ac- : count. J. ANDERSON. @ Dee. 7. M. 1899, : erk, Henry Ad- s, to collect the bill you should require $15 and they send thelr el arn Received paviment. WALTER W. SMITH & CO., per Henry Adam: iptad in some such You must satisfy yourself that Henry Adams is in the employ of Walter W. Smith & Co., or that he has een authorized by them to collect the bill. In no case should money be paid to entire strangers without some assurance of their business connection. When maney is pald on an account It is taken as evi- dence the account is considered correct. If an error or an overcharge is discov- ered in a bill it should be returned for correction before any payment is made. A receipt in full of all demands is evi- dence of a compromise and mutual settle. ment of all claims between the parties. All réceipts and receipted bills should be carefully preserved, nat forever, of course, but for a'year or two. Do not trust too much to memory in matters in which money Is concerned. Give recelpts and require them and enter the records In your own private account book. form as this. Note—These studies will be continued next week. . SHOP AND TRADE STUDIES FOR BOYS. Copyright, 1899, by Seymour Eaton. IV. EASY MECHANICAL DRAW-) ING. Note—This course, confined as it will be to six lessons, cannot do more than present the funda- mental principles of ‘‘flat” drawing and help beginners to become accustomed to the use of the ordinary drawing instruments. Even the merest rudiments should be of large service to young men engaged in the mechanical trades Where working drawings are con Lesson No. 1. Students should provide themselves with a good ruling pen, good pencils, a com- pass for making ink lines, and a good flat ruler. A T square, triangles, dividers, a drawing board, thumb tacks, etc., will not be necessary for these simple lessons. All complex drawings should be made in pencil before Inking. The pencil lines should be made fine and light with a hard pencil, so as to be easily erased or inked over. To erase strong penc!l marks re- quires hard rubbing, which destroys the surface of the paper. All pencilings should be done carefully to avold con fustion in Inking. The compass should have both pen and pencil attachments. The legs should be bent at the joints until the lower extrem- | jties are parallel or nearly so. The weight of the compass is sufficient to cause the ink to flow freely. antly needed. The drawing pen is filled by drop?lngl n a| the ink between the nibs while held nearly vertical position. The pen can be used with a straight edge ruler; the taper to the points is sufficient to throw it far enough away from the edge to prevent blotting. The breadth of the line is regu- lated by adjusting the screw. If the pen is not in use, even for a short time, be sure to take out the ink with a blotter and dry the pen thoroughly. The nibs should be kept perfectly bright and clean. The liquid India ink which comes in bottles is now generally used. e mm e | The exercises in this lesson are intended to afford practice in the use of the draw- ing pen. Figure 1 shows the method of holding the pen. The pen is held between the thumb and two forefingers, and car- ried along the ruler from left to right, with the flat blades always parallel to the direction of the line; otherwise the pen will either be running on the edge of one blade only, or in such a position that the Ink cannot flow freely from fits points. The result in either case will be a broken or ragged line. Figure 2 shows parallel | drawn. | bave what draughtsmen call a triangle. Figure 3 gives practice In drawing dot- ted lines.
