CONGRESSMEN i MUST BE AT POST Leader Underwood Will Insist on Work. OBJECTS TO LEAVES OF ABSENCE. Call Sent Out for Absentees? Business ltequire* Attend ance of Quorum. Washiuton, July 25?Determined at ail cost t<? maiutaiii a quotum in the house, Mr. Underwood, majority leader, today served notice that ho would block hereafter' all attempts of members to be excused ou account of private business. His purpose was revealed when lie objected to consent beiug given to Representative Switzer of Ohio (Republican) to absent htnself forj ten days. He later withdrew his objection but gave warning that he would show no leniency in the future. , Mr. Underwood's objection to Mr. Switzer's request came as a surprise. The majority leader made his position clear, however. , j "I give notice," he said, with ewphasis, "that, so far as I am concerned;* on ac-1 count of the condition of business in the house and the necessity of a quorum being i. r ^-.v.wv.a fj\ onv mniAMh prt'bCIll, 1 pi upuoc W VVJVV/W U..J . for unanimous consent for leave of absence on accouut of business. "If a man is sick or there is sickness in his family, that may be a legitimate ex-1 cuse. But the ini[>ortaut business for a man holding a commission from a consti tuency to represent them on the floo? of this house is for him to attend here and to be present at this time." A general call for such members as are absent in their home districts, either at tending to their personal fences or upon personal business, has been sent out. It is believed that within the next few days ?.ifti<4t>nt of the absentees will have re turned to restore a working att ndance. A Little Spartanburg History. (Capt. Potty in the Spartanburg Journal i Strangers will lie looked on with prreat suspicion by many people in this State. Some of them will take to the woods if a smooth talking, captivating man comes too close to them. They will be as suspicious an our Southern people were in 1850 to 1860. It was dangerous for a Yankee to travel through the South, and especially in rural districts. Some persons remember that the balloonists, who dropped down on Pea Ridge in Union County in I860, were ar rested and carried to the county-, seat as ' very undesirable visitors. Some well in formed;men investigated the case and they were released. <?nf nannle w?r<> vftrv sensitive in those 1 7 days. If Susan B. Anthony, Lucy Stone or some of the other abolition leaders had paid our State a friendly visit, there is no knowing what the results woold have1 been. About 1850, or perhaps a year or two before, a strapper landed in Spartan burg. He came from one of the Northern States. He was considered a dangerous visitor. If he spoke to a negro it was not ed. All the mail he received or sent out was closely scrutinized. Finally evidence! enough was trumped up, or imagined, to arrest him as a dangerous man and dis turber of the peace and good order of the community. After he was in jail a few weeks he applied for bail. Simpson Bobo was his attorney. He was released on bond, or rather on deposit of the money. for there was no one here to sign a bond It has been said that the '-ash deposit was 14,000, but we are not certain about that. Of course, he never came back to answer the charges against him. Several years after the war some of his friends wrote to the clerk's oflice to know what had become of the money he put up. There was no account of it. All over the State In those y^ars all visitors from the Northern States, unless well endorsed, were held under sus picion. All that does not seem reasonable to this generation, who have grown up in the last Jforty years. All they know of Yankees is that they can go and come as they pleose. They are uever under sus picion, even when they visit the small vil lages. They are especially desirable when they buy farms or go in the manufactur ing business. Time and a little informa tion works wonderful changes. ', Last week our regular carrier was out of town and his substitute, being somewhat unfamiliar with the route, failed to deliver The Press and Banner to a number of sub scribers. We regret the occurrence very much, but it has demonstrated that the paper is missed by our friends. We will take it as a favor if any who fail to receive their papers regularly will notify theofflce, so t hat the delinquency may be remedied. Smoking mean cigars leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Speed's Cinco will remedy this and cost no more. George L. Higbie, Man ton, Mich., UH*-d Foley Kidney PIIIh for kiiduey ?nd bladder trouble.

The empress of Korea, who died re cently, was born In Appleton, Wis., the 1 daughter of a Methodist minister, a i "circuit rider" who made Appleton his home for a few years before the war, Bays the New York Evening Post. The Her. Mr. Brown was a handsome southerner, and his wife a woman of exceptional beauty, who transmitted her beauty to her daughter Emily, who was born in 1801. 8hortly after the war, when Emily was about five years old, the family left Appleton; and ten years later the Rev. Mr. Brown took his wife and daughter to Seul, the capital of Korea, and was said to have been the first Protestant missionary to enter the capital of the Hermit Kingdom. The young Appleton girl 1 J *V - 1., a mxju itaiuuu iuc iaug uogc ui tuc *ku reuns, and acved as Interpreter In deal lugs between the missionaries and the government. She had a remarkably sweet voice and attracted many na tives to her father's mission by her wonderful singing of hymns. The em peror heard of the remarkable beauty and wonderful voice of the American girl and commanded her to enter hi? harem, which ehe Indignantly refused to do. Two yeari later, however, when the mission was in financial straits, she accepted the emperor's offer and became one of his wives, with a prom ise of marriage In her father's mission as eoon as conditions permitted. When the American wife had borne the em peror a son and his queen bad died, Emily Brown waa proclaimed queen, the ruler of Korea then being a king, and when he proclaimed himself em-, peror she became empress and re ceived the name of Om, which, In the Korean language, means "Dawn of the Mornlng" or "As Beautiful as the Ris ing Sun." Emily Brown was the em-, peror's favorite wife, and her son was , m*de Ihe hdr apparent, and, but for the annexation of Korea by Japan, he would have become emperor on th* death of the fatler. , - More Light Freah air enthuaiasta are familiar enough to moat of ua, but we hear les* of enthusiasm for light. Darkened parlors, darkened bedrooms, darkened sickrooms, are too common, sir a. j W. RichardBon, the eminent London scientist and physician, declared that when the professors of healing enter a sickroom their first -words In most caaes ought to be Goethe's dying ex clamation, "More light!

CHad They Told Him. What it is to be a genuine, single minded egotist is illustrated by an 6c-, currence related by an American who spends much of his time In England. Among his acquaintances is a cer great invalid and spends most of his tain aistinguisnea wruisner wdo is a time In bed, a fact which, however, does not prevent him from receiving a great deal of company. 6ne day while thus In bed the Brit isher, according to Harper's Ma/azine, received several guests. They all be gan to shiver and pull their coats about them as they huddled around the bed. "What," eiclalmed the Invalid, "lrf It cold here?" * "We are freezing," answered a guest. "Thank you for telling me," Bald the distinguished invalid, who thereupon rang a bell. The guests supposed that he was summoning a servant to build a fire, but when his man came in the Invalid said: * ? "Mulitns, brlnf me ray down cover let." ' Another Med Without a Country.

Hercules Braid Fit* Well as a Dressing. The princess model with robe front, j or suggested petticoat, 1s shown in the illustration,", the model being adapt- j ed to both the finest and plainest tex-; tures. Besides the suggestion of an op$n shirt over a separate petticoat this design gives other features promi nent in fashion's realm. The low arm hole is much admired, this device per mitting the lea9t possible shaping of i the bodice material and allowing the ' bottom of the sleeve to fit the arm closely. Here taffeta, that newest of { all new materials, is ^sed, the colbr a soft goldeq.brown. The lace front and ! other ornaments of the dress are of i a deep cream ratine lace introducing 4 touch of brown, and the guimpe is of A spotted net finished at the neck with a brown ribbon with tricot edge. This dainty frock sugests in detail Bome of tt)e changes which are trying to creep into dress, the fussier trim minor a. tha'seDaration of the ekirt from the tunic;-yet it Is still conservative, and by leaving off the trimmings *it may be made the simplest thing im aginable.

Another charming device for tafSete would be to have the main part of the ; frock in a flowered or striped design j and the deckings of plain. A veiling ! with taffeta trimmings is also adapted j to dressy effects, for most of the things j which are not of tafTeta will be taf- i feta trimmed. Among the deckings used on taffeta Itself?and they are many?is Hercules braid, a number of j the coat suits being trimmed In this manner. If a simple frock on these lines is I needed, thin blue serge with a touch of black taffeta would be very modest and yet smart as well. Thin dressy materials of a cheap na- ! ture are countless, and the very smart- ' est of these are made up in one-piece manner, the gayer colors running to ;puffings and shirrings, the staid ones j 'looking well with deep skirt tucks and & shirt waist suggestion of the bodice, j 8trlng Belt.
