END DISCUSSED. * Democratic Leaders Talk of Adjournment. Washington, June 13.?A proposal that congres6 should adjourn in July as soon as the appropriation bills are disposed of in both houses was talked over by Democratic leaders in con% gress to-day but without result. Majority Leader Underwood pointed out to Democratic senators and some of his colleagues in the house that the best thing to do would be to clear up the supply measures and then to adjourn with the understanding that the president convoke an extra session In November. P The senators are not disposed to ? agree to this course. They contend ? O+QTT in Waj|h? IDftl CO a 51 e?B3 BUWU1U ota; ington until anti-trust legislation is cleared up. It was reported that Majority Leader Underwood and others would confer at the White House* Monday regarding adjournment plane but as there is no assurance of agreement between senate and house leaders as to an early adjournment the conference will not materialize. If there should be a change of sentiment in the senate the matter may be considered later at a conference between President Wilson and party chiefs. In an Emergency. % When you are in the parlor with a beautiful creature and the electric lights suddenly go out while you are seated beside her on the divan, collect your wits, advises the Pittsburg Dispatch. Tell her not to be alarm' A1 ^ " nnnlrotc ed and searcn lurougu k until you find a match. Strike it and ask her if she can find a candle. When riding in the rear seat of an auto going sixty miles an hour and skids towards the edge of a precipice if there is a young woman beside you bid her not to become frightened. Step lightly out of the auto and telephone the repair man. When chatting with a lady of some 45 summers, who is seriously contemplating matrimony and who leads the conversation around to a point where you must commit yourself, if she allows her hand to fall near yours and looks languishingly into your eyes and asks you if you do not believe there are times when a "girl" is justified in telling a man that she loves him, do not wait for your hat and cane. Send a messenger for them next day. When you are sitting at luncheon with a young lady and one of your creditors approaches and duns you for the bill, turn to him languidly and pay him, remarking that it is a pleasure to you to be able to lend him the money. If he offers you a receipt wave your hand airily and say that his word is sufficient?he need not give you his note. Youthful Ingenuity. One afternoon a very stout woman was rambling along a country road when she suddenly noticed a little hoy walking closely beside her. Not knowing the youngster, she was naturally somewhat surprised. "Look here, little boy," she heatedly cried, "why are you following me along like that? Go away from me instantly." "I ain't doin' nothin', lady," pleaded the little fellow. "Please don't send me away." "You must go away at once," repeated the perplexed woman. "Why do you wish to follow me?" "Because," was the startling rejoinder of the youngster, "you are the only shady spot along the whole road."?Philadelphia Ledger. *V-?TTT* rUTI,nRR\ TVROWVKT). Caught in Whirlpool in St. Mary's River, Florida. * McClenny, Fla., June 11.?A dangerous whirlpool in the St. Mary's River, 16 miles North of this place, is responsible for the death of four children, and the wiping out of practically the whole of a Baker County family. Reily, Lillie, Mamie, and Effie Johns, all children of D. B. Johns, a prosperous farmer near Baxter, met death while in bathing yesterday afternoon after the youngest of the quartette had been caught in the pool and the other three, led by Reily Johns, the oldest, had attempted to rescue her. The children ranged in age from 11 to 18. All bodies were recovered after several hours of search of the river with dragnets and hooks. BRUNETTE'S THIN DRESS. Fined in Richmond for Wearing "Clinging" Garment. Richmond, Va., June 12.?A striking brunette, giving the name of Ethel Marcuson, aged 19, of Winston-Salem, N. C., was fined $25 by Police Justice Crutchfield to-day for appearing in the streets in an extremely decollete, clinging "silhoulette" pink silk dress. " It was so hot yesterday," was her only comment. Subscribe to The Herald, $1.50 year SAVES LIFE BY MARRIAGE. Man Whose Coolness Caused Girl's > Collapse, Weds Her. Miss Mildred C.

Sweet to-day in the belief that a the young woman's marriage was the t only sure way of restoring her mental d balance and saving her life. She has e been at the point of death since two d weeks ago, when Mr. Schaffer inform- r ed her of his intention to break their engagement. i; The young woman, who was promi- l nent in religious and social work, be- b came unconscious at that time, and e when she was aroused was delirious, 1 calling constantly for her fiance.

Y., dispatch to N. b Y. Herald." e Taken for Granted. A young woman collecting rer.ts for a reform tenement association j, appeared one day with an ice bag c bound over one eye. She explained t] to the tenant that she had conjunct j( vitis. That was worse than Greek c; to Mrs. Kiawalski, who insisted on g seeing what such a long word might ^ mean. Nothing was said till the af- 0 flicted member was rebandaged, when p the Polish sister, wise in experience, ^ remarked with a sigh: "Sorry, but I did not know you ^ was married." a FOUR KILLED IN COLLISION. t] u e Union Pacific Train Strikes an Auto- j1 mobile With Fatal Result. " b Omaha. Neb., June 11?Four per- ^ - > i- a? ? n ~f a sons are aeaa ro-aay as a icsuh ui injuries when a Union Pacific train ? struck and demolished the automobile in which they were riding near ^ Millard late last night. Three of t( them were killed almost instantly a and the fourth died in the hospital early to-day.

Fisher, deputy collector T of New York City, smiled when the ir conversation turned to marksman- aj ship. He said he was reminded of the great shot made by Brown. d, Smith and Jones were walking s( along the boulevard one afternoon, when Brown was incidentally mentioned. w "Speaking of Brown," thoughtful- a, ly remarked Jones, "I understand he is something of a shot." m "He is a wonder," was the prompt rejoinder of Smith. "We were out in pi a field practicing the other day, when it he hit the bull's eye at the first shot." "Fine for Brown!" commendingly ^ returned Jones.. "Tickled him almost , ni to death, I suppose?" ^ "Don't you believe it!" answered Smith. "He had to pay for the bull." A \TKicIroir VtaL'oc Prwni* ParmPir d< WW HO^rvvj * wa. ?. ? di In the current issue of Farm and n< Fireside a contributor, writing under d< the title, "Booze and Business," tells, ti as follows, how whiskey makes poor tl farmers: st "About forty miles from me is a la great nursery. Some five or six years tr ago their barn burned with 28 horses h in it. The night watchman was drunk hi and asleep in his room in the barn. m He alone was saved by the heroic fire- di men when they arrived. Not a hair iD of a horse or a strap of a harness ic was saved. The barn with all its con- pj tents, except the drunken night di watchman, was lost in flames and in tt smoke. pi "The 15th of last November the tr barn was burned again. Some one p returning home about midnight noticed the nursery barn on fire a quarter of a mile away. They turned in the alarm, and the local fire company rushed there with their equipment. And again they found the same 8 old watchman drunk in his room in s* the barn; so drunk he had not heard p the struggles of four horses as they 31 broke loose from their stalls opposite his room. The firemen saved the watchman; everything else was lost, sc 31 not a hair or halter was saved. This time 30 horses were burned; four 1 AI broke loose but never left the barn; * the other 26 died with scarcely a 1D t }struggle, evidently overcome by the smoke before the fire reached them. "Booze and business, will not mix. 111 A man who gets drunk should never be given responsibility which involves the life and safety of human be&igs ^ or dumb animals. It is almost criminal to give him such responsibility."

Chicago, June 10.?Safety deposi ecords were searched here to-day ii m endeavor to find missing deed: o property owned by Francis A. Og len, the 84-year-old recluse an< nulti-millionaire, news of whos< ieath in Houston, Texas, has beei eceived here. Mr. Ogden was a nephew of Will am Ogden, first mayor of Chicago le laid the foundation of his wealtl y leasing and buying Chicago prop rty immediately after the fire o: 881. He never married. "My broth rs and sisters invested in families nd children, I invested in farms anc eal estate," was one of his favorite emarks. He was known to have eld real estate of great value ir Chicago and rich lands in Wisconsin Kansas, Georgia, Washington, anc everal other States. Mr. Ogden maintained quarters ir hotel he owned in Madison, Wis. nd for many years lived on a self rescribed schedule of abstemious ess. He allowed himself 9 cents foi reakfast, 20 cents for lunch and 12 ents for dinner. By Its Fruits. A college Glee Club was traveling i Wisconsin and left the train at ? ertain station to change cars. As tie young man alighted, a young feliw six feet tall and of powerful build ame slouching up to them and beg ed a nickel, saying he wanted tc uy food. His breath carried th? dor of liquor and he had the apearance of one who had been drink > n-- tt _ lg ratner neavny. ne suu^hci. unds from the entire crowd. The epot was less than half a block way, and before the boys arrived al tie waiting room they had been askd for "eats" by a second fellow. A ttle later on one of the boys engaged 1 conversation with a man whose usiness took him through the town tvice a week. The subject came round to the beggars and the travling man smilingly commented Well, it isn't to be wondered at thai le first greeting a man gets in this iwn is from some beggar. There re twenty-two saloons here." It is not at all strange that comlercial clubs and similar organizaons advertise the absence of saloons ut never their presence. It is just ich incidents as that related above lat put the saloon on the defensive, ; is on trial for its life just now. he incriminating evidence is coming i like a veritable stream. The charge gainst it is murder?the murder oi oys and girls; men, women and chilren; hopes, ambition, prospects. As )me one has said, "The saloon is le only business that is ashamed oi s best patrons." Beggars at railay stations are neither very good ivocates for the saloon nor for the Dod business sense of the community. J I ~ C 4.^ Ka J. lie UliUlveia Ul uquui ait LU uv. itied. They crave it.

Many of lem were born drunkards in embryo, he fire was in their baby-blood, and iturally flamed in manhood's hours, heir suffering is one of the great masons for destroying the dragon, nd deep down behind it all is the svil.

An elevated railroad from New ork to Chicago, high enough to be vel regardless of topography, and a ibmarine tube railway along the easant scenery of the ocean bed bev*een America and Europe, are nong projects which have had their ly of publicity. The Maritime as>ciation of the Port of New York, i entirely'serious body, recently had scussed before it a plan to annex anhattan to Long Island by filling . the East River from Hell Gate to .o Rattprv thp creatine: of a trunk tie sewer to a disposal terminal iles at sea, Jersey and Staten Island aving tributary lines; the building l a cape from the lower end of New ork almost to Staten Island, and mnecting that island hill with the ty by tunnels. The idea has been ^sirable and practical, inclusive ? the expenditure of $100,000,000 year to bring it to pass. Dr. T. annard Thompson is sponsor for le scheme.?Christian Herald. HI-: HAD AN EASIER METHOD. i- Tramp Objects to Use of Hoe for Gleaning Out Gutters. t Mrs. Brown stood in the doorway 1 of her suburban home and eyed the s tramp critically. The tramp extended his hands exi pansively as though work was the 3 one thing in life he hankered after 1 and his apparent sincerity overcame Mrs. Browns last scruple. She retired into the house and . presently returned carrying a large i plate of food and a businesslike-look ing hoe. f When the tramp had eaten the food - she handed him the hoe, and, points ing toward the garden path, remark1 ed: ? "Now, I want you to clean out that i gutter. You see it's filled with mud." i The tramp glanced at the gutter,: , then at the hoe. I "I never use a hoe," he said, "when cleaning out a gutter." l "Never use a hoe?" Then, what , do you use? A shovel." "No," said the tramp, as he mov ed toward the gate. "My method is to r pray for rain."?London Answers. Magistrate?Can't this case be settled out of court? Mulligan?Sure, sure.
