tumorous Department. They Bought the Cow. One of the old horsemen at the club was In a reminiscent mood, says the K Chicago Record-Herald, and talked pleasantly of early adventures between Idle whiffs of a good cigar. Said he: *>' "Riley was a friend of my youth, d: gifted with that courage and gayety of fc mind so much esteemed by Stevenson. T Together with some capitalists we T were in Paducah, Ky., looking after ir a number of yearlings, and at night we b< whiled away the time playing cards d: at the hotel, which was on the outskirts di of town. Of course, sundry rerresn- ^ ments were served during these sit- w tings, and I remember that on one oc- b' caslon Riley proposed a milk punch. w "The suggestion was greeted with tl applause; but upon ringing up the m steward we were informed that there g( was not a drop of milk in the house; is moreover, the hour was too' late to ir hope for finding anyone awake on the T neighboring farms. tf "Riley summoned the colored porter, m " 'Who keeps a cow in neighbor- tf hood?' he demanded. w " 'Smif, an' Jones, an' Robinson, 12 an"? S' " 'Do they lock the barns?' inter- w rupted Riley. in "No, sir." "R "That was sufficient. 'Who'll go with M me?' challenged Riley. L "I volunteered, agreeing that we M should pay for the imlk on the mor- M row, and so the expedition was formed. h< Fearing that the hotel people might M be gone by the time we returned we D had them empty two quarts of whisky J. into a tin pail. Armed with this, we ai sailed forth. The colored porter, whom Si we bribed to accompany us, was our L guide. H "We made for the first barn we saw.

M " 'He kill yo* sho'!" declared the re boy, and he fled for his life. h< "Inside the barn it was as dark as Ci pitch. We struck a light, which we CN extinguished as soon as we had lo- H cated the cow.

An old army surgeon who was fond ,, of a good joke, if not perpetrated at his own expense, was one day, accord- * ing to the Chicago Tribune, at a mess, K when a wag remarked to the doctor, p who had been somewhat severe in his remarks on the literary delinquencies of some of the officers appointed from b civil life: "Doctor, are you acquainted ci with Captain G?" C( 'Yes, I know him well," replied the doctor. "But what of him?" M "Nothing in particular," replied the officer. "I have just received a letter from him, and I wager yeu a case of ^ wine that you cannot tell in Ave guesses how he spells cat." 11 "Done," said the doctor, "it's a wa- p ger." 1, "Well, commence guessing," said the officer." f "K-a-double-t." i!

"K-a-t-e." 11 "No; you've missed it again." g "Well, then," replied the doctor,' ti C-a-double-t." j, "No, that's not the way; try once more; it's your last guess." u "C-a-g-t." n "No." v "Well." said the doctor, with some . petulance of manner, "how does he spell it?" 1 "Well, he spells it c-a-t," replied the fi wag with the utmost gravity, amid the a roars of the mess, and, almost choking with rase, the doctor sprang to his feet. b exclaiming: "Gentlemen, I am too old si to be trifled with in this manner." a h How Gates Fooled the Beggar.? u They are telling a story on John W. t] Gates. It is that the other night he had eluded the swarm of beggars that ei hover around the Holland House, the V Waldorf-Astoria, Delmonico's and tl Sherry's. Later he was accosted by a ^ particularly insolent beggar, so very daring and aggressive that he promised d to be interesting. Mr. Gates dug down V into his pocket, jingled some coins and p pulled out a quarter. This he gave to . tho Kotrcr'ap "You're a nice one. you are." said the tl mendicant. "You'd spend that many a dollars for a luncheon, and you give a man in hard luck that chicken feed." "Excuse me." said Mr. Gates. "Give V me that back.' He reached into his \\ pocket as if to draw out a larger coin, ^ and the beggar expectantly handed back the quarter. " Mr. Gates put it in his pocket, re- b marking that it would be useful for a v( tip and walked into the lobby of the Waldorf-Astoria. According to the story the beggar " now takes his hat off every time he tl sees Mr. Gates. Incidentally Mr. Gates denies the story.

When the transfer is a >mpleted, it is probable the O. R. & 0 division of the Southern will be 1 eated, and it is reported that Colonel a . Tripp, now superintendent of the 1 C. & G.

C., in which ie Ohio River and Charleston, owned 0 y Philadelphia captalists and of which J amuel Hunt is president, will be an 1 nportant link.

Portions of the road in ' outh and North Carolina were sold to e iterests representing the Southern nd are now known as the South Car- 1 Una and Georgia Extension. Another T nk in the proposed Charleston, Cin- ' [nnatl and Chicago, which was built r etween Johnston City and Huntsdale, f enn., a distance of 35 miles, is to be 1 tie nucleus of the new short line be- 1 ire mentioned by extending it to the c irglnia coal fields at Big Stone Gap. 1 he Southern terminus is now at * iuntsdale and by building from that ? oint to Lincolnton, N. C., 60 miles, a onnection will be made with the Sea- 1 oard Air Line. When the work is 4 ompleted the shortest line from the 1 oal fields in question to the seaboard 1 ill have been established. 1 CHESTER. Lantern, February 28: We have 1 eard a good one, which has been go- A ig the rounds, about Chester's small- ( ox situation. This may not be abso- * itely correct, but from what we can 1 ather it is something like the follow- ( ig: The town authorities sent out a lan with the instructions to. place a s ellow flag at a certain house where i here was smallpox. The man was i one only a short while when he re- i urned, not having complied with the t istructions of the authorities, where- 1 pon he was asked for his reason for c ot so doing. He replied that there t ,-ere only three cases at that house so i e decided not to put up the signal, t 'hen after considerable discussion the < nal conclusion was reached: That J s soon as the patients were able to i e about, when they had reached the < caly stage, to attach a yellow flag as signal of danger to each of their ? ats and let them loose and whoever > as foolish enough not to get out of t heir way deserved catching the dis- < ase. It is true that there are one or ? wo cases of smallpox, but of course, ? he above is merely a joke which some- < ody has told to help while away the '< reary hours of the past few weeks. 1 I'ith the approach of spring and the i recautions being taken by the author- f ies, we may hope soon to be rid of 1 le pest The preliminary of J.

The United States senate has dispos d of the McLaurin-Tillman inciden ty the administration of a severe cen ure to the two South Carolina sena ors. This action was taken last Fri ay. Following is the Associated Presi tory of the proceedings: When the senate was called to ordei oday a notably large attendance oi enators was on the floor and the gal ?rles were thronged. Both Senatori ilcLaurin and Tillman, of South Caro Ina, were in tneir seats, ureat inter st was manifested by senators on thi loor and by spectators In the galleries n the reading of the journal whlcl ontained the protest of Mr. Tillmai gainst not being permitted to voti vhile under the ban of the senate's or ler of contempt. Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, chalrmai if the committee on privileges am lections, presented the following res lution which had been formulated b: hat committee: "That it is the judgment of the sen te that the senators from South Car Una, Benjamin R. Tillman and Johi McLaurin, for disorderly behavio: nd flagrant violation of the rules o he senate during the open session o he senate on the 22d day of February nstant, deserve the censure of th< enate and they are hereby censured foi heir breach of the privileges and dig iity of this body; and from and aftei he adoption of this resolution the or ler adjudging them in contempt o he senate shall be no longer of forc< nd effect." Mr. Burrows presented the reques f the majority of the committee whicl k'as read. The reported recited the history o he altercation in the senate and quote< he language then used by the offend rs. All agreed to this statement. The report then continued as fol ows: "The majority of the committee am if opinion that the legal effect of ad udging these senators in contempt o he senate was to suspend their func Ions as senators and that such punish nent for disorderly behavior is clear y within the power of the senate, bu he conclusion they have reachei nakes It unnecessary to discuss thii luestion. The offenses committed b: he two senators were not, in the opin on of a majority of the committee, o iqual gravity. "Mr. McLaurln did not commeno he encounter but only stood in hi: )lace at his desk, where he was speak ng and resisted the attack that wa; nade upon him. In other words his of ense was confined to the use of unpar iamentary language, for which he ha< inusual provocation. Nevertheless, hi >ffense was a violation of the rules o he senate of so serious a characte hat in the opinion of the committee i should be condemned. "In the case of Mr. Tillman, th ecord shows that the altercation wa :ommenced by the charge he mad igainst Mr. McLaurln. Such a charg s inexcusable, except in connectioi vith a resolution to investigate. Mi rillman not only made the charg vithout any avowal of a purpose to in .estlgate but also disclaiming knowl ?dge of evidence to establish the of 'ense and this he said after the charg lad been specifically and unqualifiedl; lenied by Mr. McLaurln. "Such a charge, under any circum stances would be resented by any mai vorthv to he a senator- hut made a t was in this instance, its offensive less was greatly intensified. This fea :ure of his offense, coupled with th 'act that he also commenced the en :ounter by quitting his seat some dis ance away from McLaurin, and, rush ng violently upon him, struck him ii ;he face, makes the cause one of sucl exceptional misbehavior that a ma lority of the committee are of the opin on that his offense was of such great >r gravity than that of Mr. McLaurin "The penalty of a censure by th< senate in the nature of things mus ary in actual severity in proportion ti ;he public sense of the gravity of th? iffense of which the offender has beei uljudged guilty. Therefore, notwith standing the fact that in the opinioi )f a majority of the committee there ii i difference in the gravity of the of 'ense under consideration your com nittee are of the opinion that publii rood and the dignity of the senate wil ie alike best promoted and protected so far as this particular case is con serned, by imposing upon each senato: iy formal vote the censure of the sen ite for the offense by him committee ind therefore, recommend the adoptloi >f the resolution." At the conclusion of the reading o: he majority report Mr. Bailey, of Tex is, offered the following statement a! epresenting the views of himself anc our other senators: "We dissent from so much of the retort of the committee as asserts th( tower of the senate to suspend a sen.tor and thus deprive a state of its - vote, and so much as describes the of- 1 3 fenses of the senators as of different I r gravity; but we approve the resoluf tlon reported." t The report of the minority of the t committee then was read. 1 In this statement the senators sign,, lng It say that while they accept the t statement of the case as made in the e principal report, they do not agree t] , with the majority of the committee as i to thj punishment proposed by the ma1 jorlty. They then say: r "The Junior senator from South Car- ^ l ollna is guilty of unparliamentary lan- t] l) guage. The senior senator from South A J Carolina Is guilty of physical violence, -y - Neither In the statutes of any state or . In the common opinion of mankind are w e these two offenses the same. The ^ t slightest form of punishment is a repri- 0 b mand or censure. It Is the latter which c 9 the majority proposes to Inflict for two 0] a offenses differing In character and p t gravity. The minority of the commit- g1 3 tee are of the opinion that this punish- n 3 ment Is adequate, and that to Ignore ^ 1 the differences between the offenses Is n - unjust. The minority of the committee 2 Is of the opinion that suspension of n 2 the two offending senators from their u r senatorial privileges heretofore inflict- 0 - ed should now be formally adjudged b and continued for different periods of time." ? The report concludes by recommend- a Ing that Senator McLaurln be suspend- g, ? ed from his functions as a senator for 0 five days and that Senator Tillman be n . suspended for 20 days. Y t Mr. Pritchard's adoption to the above ei . statement is in the following language: ei "I concur In all the foregoing views p . except as to the punishment of the ju- a 3 nlor senator from South .Carolina. It b is my opinion that the punishment he b has already suffered is adequate to his j? offense. I make no recommendations C] as to the punishment to be Imposed on r( the senior senator from South Carolina. w Mr. Bacon called attention to what y he considered an important omission in the narrative of the majority con- y rences of last Saturday. There was no q official record ofKhe proceedings in the jj secret legislative session, he said, but j some of the salient facts ought to be v brought out. He said that the senior r senator from South Carolina (Mr. Till- v man) had expressed his desire through j. the senator from Kentucky (Mr. Black- n burn) to make public acknowledgement r f of his error and to apologize to the b senate. The junior Senator from South n Carolina (Mr. McLaurin) had expressed the same desire through him (Mr. j 1 Bacon). He deemed it important that s these facts should be made a part of d f the record. ^ j When the name of Mr. McLaurin, of v Mississippi, was reached in the roll ' call, he said: e "Being related by kinship to one of 0 the senators involved, I ask to be ex- a cused from voting." t The request was granted. ^ ~ Mr. McLaurin, of South Carolina, one c of the offending senators, said in re- v sponse to his name, which had been re- t stored to the roll: "I refrain from vot- e ing for obvious reasons." t 1 'When Mr. Tillman's name was called he rose deliberately.- Every eye in the chamber was fixed upon him. His face 0 * was stern and set and he was pafe as g a sheet. Evidently he was laboring un- g der great emotion. v "Among gentlemen," said he, slowly, and his words were heard distinctly r 8 in the uttermost parts of the chamber, t " "an apology for an offense committed f under the heat of blood is usually con" sidered sufficient." ^ Then he resumed his seat amid gasps t " of astonishment among senators and j 1 spectators. * Mr. Burrows hastened to the desk of Q 3 the official stenographers and directed V that Mr. Tillman's words be written ^ - out at once. ^ ' At the conclusion of The roll call but h before the announcement of the vote, ^ e Mr. Kean, of New Jersey, who had 9 voted for the resolution, addressing the - president pro tern, changed his vote in r 8 tho fnllnwlnc "Having: heard the senator from - South Carolina (Mr. Tillman) again in- Q i suit the senate, I change my vote from s aye to no." n f The resolutioi^was adopted, 54 to 12, r the detailed vote being as follows: t Yeas?Aldrich, Allison, Bacon, Bai- . ley, Bard, Bate, Berry, Blackburn, Burrows, Carmack, Clark, of Montana, e e Clay, Cockrell, Culberson, Cullom, De- ? s pew, Dillingham, Dolliver, Dubois, El- d e kins, Fairbanks, Foraker, Foster, of e Louisiana, Frye, Gallinger, Gibson, F Hansbrough, Harris, Hawley, Hoar, I 1 Kearn, Lodge, McCumber, McEnery, c .

Scarcely had the clerk concluded t e the reading when Senator Tillman, ad dressing the president, said: "The words uttered by me were not a - intended to be offensive and if they d n were so considered I very gladly with- p ti draw them." p As Mr. Burrows was about to ad- g . dress the senate Mr. Teller said: "The senator from South Carolina v u was not called to order by anybody. I ^ e think we had better proceed." I Mr. Burrows explained that he had 5 had no opportunity during the roll call e to direct the senate's attention to Mr. n , Tillman's words. The chair (Mr. Frye) j . said: a , "The senator has withdrawn the re- a g marks. Is there any objection on the p part of the senate to their withdraw- c - a,?" si "I object, Mr. President," insisted w I Mr. Dietrich (Rep.) of Nebraska.

So, before we form an alliance with his agency for evil, we had better sit own and count the cost. If we form his union, we need never expect to be ivorced from this wicked partner. Ve may cry: Who will deliver us from he body of this death? But our cries rill be in vain. Our children may conemn us for inflicting this burden up n them; but unless the laws are hanged, or the men who have charge f this business are changed, If we ut a dispensary here, It Is here to tay. For there always will be some len In a town the size of Yorkville 'ho will advocate whisky, until the lillenlum comes. 4. There is no difference in vot?3 for the dispensary and in keepthe dispensary as far as moral onduct is concerned. One is just as ad as the other. The voter may be a little farther rejoved from the evil than the dispenser, s far as time and place are concernd; but, when we look at the question f cause and effect, Is the voter not earer the evil than the dispenser? Chile the business cannot be conductd without the dispenser, It cannot be stnbllshed without the voter. The dlsenser is simply putting into operation n institution which has been created y the voter. The dispenser Is guilty, ut not more so than the voter. There i no process of logic or reasoning that an overthrow this position. No progess can be made in this gigantic evil rithout the concurrence and help of lie voter. Oh, what a responsibility rests upon tie voter. And I tell you, my friends, lod is going to count the votes. Chen I know this; and, further, when know that there are mothers and rives and daughters and little child en who cannot vote in this matter, but fho are to be in all probability director and seriously affected by the settlelent of this issue, I would have my. ight arm cut off before I would aid y my vote a business that entails so nuch misery on mankind. I am going1 to vote as I pray and as profess. I may be inconsistent in ome things; but, in this matter, I am letermined that my practice shall not irand my prayers and my professions ifith the lie. Suppose that a dispensary should be stablished in Yorkviile, and that one f the elders of this church should be .ppointed dispenser and should accept he position. What a howl you would lear! How the membership of this hurch and the entire community /ould cry, Inconsistency! And yet his elder would not be doing a greatr wrong than the man who votes for he dispensary. Let me emphasize this responsibility. Ve have to meet it. We may shirk ur work, but we can't shirk our reponsibllity. We can't throw our reponsibility off on somebody else. It /ill not do for us to say that we will it the state and the town assume this esponsibllity. The man who votes for he dispensary may think that his reponsibility ends there; but what a nistake! He is responsible for what he dispensary does. It is his instltuion?the creature of his own hand, le not only made it possible, but he tiade it real. He opens up a stream f iniquity that continues to flow. It nay flow on after he is dead, and no loubt will, making drunkards and ringing misery and poverty into many iomes. Who is responsible for all this? lertainly the men who deliberately creted this agency for evil cannot come lear. Thus you can see how fareachlng a man's responsibility is in ms mauer. 5. I am opposed to the dispensary n principle. I know there are many yho can't appreciate this position. For nany are governed by policy Instead if principle; many are ruled by money nstead of morals; many are dominated >y greed for gain Instead of the greatst good. But I know thire are some yho have advocated the dispensary at lifferent times that can appreciate irinclple. To such I would speak; for do not believe they have carefully onsldered this question in all its bearrigs from the viewpoint of principle. There Is something necessarily wrong pith a business that is sure to bring rime and misery Into the community nd that is sure to erect an lnsuperaile barrier In the way of some men getlng to heaven. The dispensary is just s sure to do these things as It Is esablished. Therefore, I cannot vote for t. I consider it an unmitigated evil? n enemy to the church, an enemy to he truth, an enemy to man, an enemy 0 the best Interests of the community, n enemy to God. If every man in Yorkville would run blind tiger, I would not vote for the ispensary. If the dispensary would ay all our taxes, I would not vote for L If the establishment of a dispenary here would make every man in rorkville a millionaire, I would not ote for It. Principle cannot be ought; It is not for sale. 1 never expect to cast my vote for he establishment of that which I know s going- to bring evil into me commuity. I would not do such a thing, If could. I could not, if I would. I m not going to assume such an awful nd sweeping responsibility. I am goig to keep my skirts clear. No one an rise up at the judgment day and ay to me: You made my father, or IY husband, or my son a drunkard y casting your vote for a dispenary in yorkville. FOR SALE.
