The great contest for tha Republican nomination for mayor la ended and Capt, Charles Denues ha carried off the prise. The Davis men worked bard, and at neon yesterday It looked, even te the Demes men, aa if Davla had the beet of tha fight. The Denues men braced up in the -after neon, put boodle in the fight te match the. money put out by tbe ether eide and went te work with a will. Tbe vest pocket voter decided the contest, and aympathy for Denues helped him along. Dennea was helped some by tbe open stand against him taken by the liquor men of the city. The contest aa waged was net In the minds of tbe political bosses se mneh as the question as te who should have the nomination, but which faction should con trol tbe Republican politics of the city. When Lewis H. Hartman announced that he waa for Denues the ether side thought they saw a chanee te down him. If Hart man's man would be dofeated for mayor It would be almost impossible for him te recover in time te be an Important factor in the coming primary for delegates te the state convention and county officers. The Mentzer faction did their best te down Hartman, bnt were unsuccessful. It waa a common rumor en the .town 'that Quay wanted hla friends te win this fight, and had sent te this city an unlimited sup ply of boodle. Somobedy raised lets of money, for there waa mere money spent en yesterday primary than ever before in a city primary election. Five dollars a vote waa a common occurrence, and when the voter demanded mere he reoeived It. Many get f 7 and some 8 for their votes. The result of yesterday's primary elec tion has left much bad bleed between the factions, which will be carried Inte the next primary when delegates te the state convention are te be elected. Prier te yesterday's fight there were some indica tions that delegates favorable te Martin might be agreed upon, but that hope has vanished and there will be a great fight en that question at the county primary. The vote cast yesterday shows that the anti-Quay ferces are in a majority in this city, tbe home of Martin, and they will push that advantage for all it is worth. The High vote was a surprlse. He and his friends expected that It would at least reach 500, but the returns show that he enlyTecelved 127 votes. The total vote polled for mayor was 3,109, which ia larger than looked for. The contest for alderman in two of tbe wards brought out many votes. Thore were nine candidates for school directors and these defeated were Dr. Jehn 8. Smith, Jehn F. Stauffer and Charles I. Land la. The successful candidates were : We. II. Bateman, A. Q. Bresey, Geerge A. Lane, Dr. Oliver Reland, Dr. J. F. Wickersham and J. P. Winewer.

In this ward It looked like a picale for Dennea from the start. Polies Omeera Weaver and Flennard, County Reglaier Myers, the Martin boys, A. C. Welchaaa, Common Council President Beard were for Captain Denues, and Jehn Loag, assistant letter-carrier, Harry 8henck,"ex-leck-up-keeper, who wanU te get there gain, and Sam Swenk, an aspirant for police honors, were all that Davis bad. Althengh this Is the doctor's own ward he was downed because he did net have the proper people te leek after his interests. The Second Ward. Tbe active politicians in the Second ward expected a close contest for mayor and, were net disappointed, for the result hews a majority or only three for Dr. Davie ever Denues. Davis had themeM active workers, but the vest-pocket vote and Sheriff Burkhelder's strong opposition kept down the Davis majority. Bark holder' has for years trained with the tac tac teon that was for Davis, but en personal grounds he was agalns't Davis for all he was worth, and that was net a little. Al. Shenck, Letter-Carrler Tomllnsen and O. C. Kennedy were active for Davis, and Chief Veadenmtth,v' Ben Samson and Frank McClaln were working for Denues. The last named was a candidate for oeunoil but Shenek's combination was tee much for him," and he was defeated by nearly 100. Jehn J. Smaling tried te beat Von Ven dersmlth for assessor; he was badly left, Vondersmlth's majority being 223. The Third Ward. The Third ward, the home of Mentrer, was one of the political surprises of the day. The workers were all for Davis and an al most Belid vote was expected for him. The vest-pocket voter waa abroad, and did his work effectually and the result was that Davis had only 31 majority. C. J. White beat Michael F. Stelgerwalt for select council by nearly 100. That result was looked for because Stelgerwalt took no In terest In It and made no canvass. J. M. Herchelretb, assessor, was re-nominated ever E. S. Kurtz, who has been bis oppo nent three times. Shaub, for constable, waa beaten through the efforts of Alderman Barr. Shaub had all the workers against him. He pelled a geed vote, mainly through his own exertions, and even de feated himself. He steed at the polls the whole day working for Denues. That was a great deal mero than many politicians en both sides of the windows did, as they became very drunk. In tbe evening Jacob Price, a Seventh ward statesman, who was afraid that he was net doing enough at his own polls, appeared at the window ; ho'teok William Frunkferd te task because be voted for Davis and a fight ensued. Constable Shaub, in a very nice way,trled te induce Price te go home. The latter bad mere drinks than a street sprinkler would held and he seen attracted the attention of Officer Crawford, who was in citizen's clothes and liquor. Tbe trusty guardian of Mayer Edgerley's kind of police demanded that everybody abeuld keep quiet while he arrested Jake. Price. who sleeps behind the register in the station house nearly every night with Turnkey Miller, said that Crawford was a bum and a peer lonoseme officer fighting for Davis and a bail cause. Tbe officer and Jake took holds and the former was determined te land him In the lockup. The final result waa that everybody was separated and Crawford aud Price, tbe two drunken men, were saved from bums cells. They both deserved a place there, while Shaab, against whom everybody was kicking, attended te bis business and made plenty of votes for Denues. The Fourth Ward. In this district there was one of the biggest fights of tbe whole city, and it was made against Alderman Spurrier, who for fifteen years 'past has been an occupant of the. magistrate's chair. Seme time age a let of the " geed people " thought that Mr. Spurrier should be defeated, and a combination of these nlce folks, which is said te have been made up at tbe Stevens house, Jagreed upon Harry Zeek as Spurrier's appenent. Very few poeplo knew this gentleman, who la a new citron, bnt be went all ever the ward four erfive times inquiring about tbe Jeb and soliciting votes. A great amount of money was raised for him and the services of different men were secured te down Spurrier. J. UuBt Zeek, the tobacco man, who is a relation te the would-be maglstrate.and Merris Zeek, leather dealer, and a brother, shelled out quite liberally and put up a let of money. Pete Fordney, who was considered one of Spurrier's best friends, was bought en tbe day before tbe olection and was given $100 te spend for the best use of Zeek. Twe ether men., in the ward recelved $100 each for their work. Frem tbe time that tbe polls, opened the bums were plenty,and se was the money te buy them. The Zeek people bad almost $3 te Spur rier's $1, and It was all uwd te advantage. Besides J. W. Jehnsen, Peter Fordney, Jimmy Doebler, Abe Erismau (who by tbe wsy is one of Majer Ellwood Griest's it ('.or carriers) and ethers did all In tbeir power for Zeek. Spurrier had his geed friends, Harry Shaub and Wash Potts, with htm aud they did plenty of " fi no work." In the evening Spurrier received an Invoice of money and be and bis trusted lieutenants did geed work with it. Spurrier Is a politician from way back and it cost the amateurs, who worked against hi in yesterday, a let of money te loam the business. He and tbe men who helped are deserving of plenty of credit, and the cry of the. boys Is " that the Stevens house was beaten. " One member of the election beard, who was a friend of Zeek, went te tbe polling place armed with a big billy and determined te have a geed count, as he I thought thore had been " monkey busi ness " uve years age. lie bad no occasion te .use the weapon, as he was given e;rry chance te examine tbe tickets, and t-day be thinks that mero than bull dozing wins. Spurrier's majority was 30, and it came very unexpectedly te many. An effort was made In this ward te defeat Danny Sing, but it waa no geed and be was elected, altfcMfVifce te aaa eathe Uekeu.i Dr. BfMMwnaaa aat Jaka A.

In the Sixth jward there wae aa awfully mixed ight. Tke principal eeatest was ever the aeaHMtkm for aMenaan. ILH. Fay triad te defeat, Ahlemaa Deen, bat the peer fellow was never la tka light, although he and his Meads could net 'tumble te that feet, Tka principal groemer of Fey was Jehn McLaughlin. He waa mad because Deen and Hartman defeated him for delegate te the state convention last year aad he said he would defeat Deen ifhe had te wheel meaey te tka pella In barrews. Tbe money arrived In time, bnt the defeat waa net a companion. The preeeat alderman was expected te win, but he had plenty of help fa the pereea of Lewis 8, Hartman, Qaay greatest enemy In this county, Samuel H. Roadman, Spe cial Officer Ed Shubroeks, Danny Glass, Dan McEveyand ethers. The but three named are all renegade Democrats, who have been ever en the side that they think there there Is money en bnt a abort time. Shubroeks was a Republican only alnee the Harrison campaign when tbe bosses began allowing him te come in Alderman Deen's office. He has a thriving trade as a watchman in the Sixth ward, yet he beat Barnheld, renegade, in geed shape. In this ward Jehn MeLaughlln was the principal opponent of Deen, and he was assisted by tbe Shay boys, Ed. Earnheld, Constable Jim Ebrman, Billy Michael, (who were bought from nartman), and ethers. There waa an awful let of money need In this ward, bat the Fey people used two dollars te one of their opponents. They did net knew hew te place It and one auta who dbtalned $100 from them worked all day for Deen and made money. The Fey people here gave their money by a square white check, ea which were the words : " Pell Committee $2," When a purchasable voter east bis ballet he was given one of these and It waa oaahed next deer at the store of Billy Mehn, where there was a elerk with a desk for that par pose. William Riddle was returned in that ward as a member of select council ever Sam Levan, late street com missioner, and the new member of the common branch is D. H. Kalp. Jehn H. Baumgardner and Jeseph Zeek, old members, were selected. A short ticket waa-used te great effect in this ward. Seventh Ward. The Davis men made a geed fight In the Seventh ward, always a stronghold of tbe Bull Ring combination, Jehn Delsley managed the fight, and he had Jee Dor Der wart, unsuccessful candidal for letter carrier, as his principal assistant Fer the first time In several years the oeons were voted solidly against the Bull Ringers. They were bought openly, and these who wete net In the market for cash were offered positions as polleemen under the Davis city government. The old time Bull Ring trio, Butch MlUer, B1U Deen and Jake Price, were the directors of the Denues fight The Eighth Waad. The greatest contest for mayor was in the Eighth ward. The Davis men had captured the organization at the nominating meet ing, and that indicated te thelr minds that Davis would have a handsome majority. Tbe fact that tbe election beard was against Denues made bis friends work the harder, and they made every effort te carry the district, uoergoueseii.rout-emanuaraner, David Jeffries and Jehn GUI were the Denues managers. Policeman Stnmpf and Letter-Carrier Klrchner looked after Davis' Interests. After the polls closed, Gesell presented a certificate from Denues, authorizing him te act as bis watcher. This paper Albert Hagen, the Judge, refused te recog nize. " Gesell and Ills friends threatened te break in the deer, and for a time there were indications of a first-class row. Gesell sent friends down town te get legal advice, but Hagen finally receded from bis posi tion. The count showed a majority of 34 for Denues. There waa a contest for all the officers in tills ward, and the Denues set-up went through by about that major ity. It was very amusing te see a country man like At. Hagen act aa judge in this great Democratic stronghold, where nearly all the successful managers are renegades. They Include " Fatty GUI," who will de anything te get a policeman's uniform npen himself; Billy Walts, and many ethers. Tbe Ninth Ward. In the Ninth ward there was a big fight and plenty of money. Tbe Denuee faction was represented by Water Superintendent Ed. Fralley, Jee. Shirk, Geerge Fex, Charlie Martin, Pete Gorrecht and Henry Kebr. Andy Flick, Jake Berts, Charles Hensel, Harry Rutb, Rube BerUfield, Jehn Jacobs and ethers were for Davis. The great fight here was made by the anti-Quay men, whejdefeated Rube BerU field for council by almost one hundred. Ed. Frailey's candidates were elected, and they were Cressbaugh, Jee Shirk andC. W. Bitner. Shirk Is a new member and will likely make a geed one, but Bitner is one of the fellows who attends only about tbe time he wants a lamp near te his premises. Fralley and Bertz each had a bat full of money In this ward and the latter did the much better work but of poorer material. Frail ey considers him self sure for water commissioner new. A big fight was made against Jehn, better known as " Yank," Jaeebs in this ward. Henry Nebr wen, but the canvass was net one bit creditable te him. Seme mean low stories were told about Jacobs that bad no foundation and be would have made the better officer of the pair. In nearly every ward in the city the Hartman or anti-Quay faction, who were tbe big victors, had a short ticket, and they did very well with them. The money that waa used In the cam paign made a let of people sick and en tbe whole it waa a very disgraceful electien. It waa remarkable that the whole police f iree, turned out yesterday in citizens' clothes and Instead of de'ng their duty nine-tenths of them ( and there ere bat twenty-one) went around soliciting votes for tbeir candidates. Fer some reason the chief of police did net compel .these gentlemen te wear unlferm,but they were supposed te be doing duly. Instead of that seme of them were drunk and ethers far beyond thomselves. There were several officers who took no, part In the election becttuse they were afraid, and they consider themselves sure te stay ou. Maybe they will; there Is no telling. A Gauger. Wm, L. Campbell, of Middletown, says tbe Journal, has been appointed gauger by Collector Frldy. He will Jsoeu assume bis duties in the office here. m Execution Iwsund. Jehn W.

Hyaeea, of Philadelphia, read a seleotlea eatilled MFia Oiaoame." This selection waa replete with pathos had aympathy aad waa weU rendered. On be ing recalled he rendered a oemlo selection, te the great delight of the, audience. Miss Fannie Twltmlre sang. very pretty, "Daisy Seng." Mr. Claude G. Whitstone, of Pettsvllle, Pa., was te have delivered the Nermal oration, but illness prevented him. Dr. Geerge E. Reed, of Carlisle, Pa., president of Dickinsen college, delivered the honorary oration. His subject was "Quantise that Win." The doctor is a fluent and forcible speaker. His oration was full of pleasant aneodetes Illustrating the important Ideas presented. By a happy Introduction relative te the Nermal school and the large audlenee preeeat he gained the oempleto sympathy of hla hearers. He paid a glowing tribute te the civilisatien and the progressive spirit of the latter half ofthelBtheentary. He characterized the present as the aga of lightning anddeelared that the conditions needed te make life successful are everywhere at hand. Skilled labor Is always In demand. Women have the same ohanee as men. The only question Is one of fitness. The first requisite for suoeess In life Is a geed substantial physical basis. A lefty soul can find its fullest expression only In a well-developed body. By understand ing the laws of health and by paying soma attention te athletics the average length of human life has been lengthened by from 7 te 8 years. Ne oeUege at present was com plete without Its gymnasium. Christianity instead of beliig hindered by athletic sports 'was greatly aided by It; men with muscles of Iren are needed In the pulpit as well as In the workshop. As a second requisite te sueceas he mentioned the aim te completely master some "ene and net a multitude of things. The en eases of Gladstone Is frequently held bsfere our youth as a proper Ideal for them te endeavor te realise. This is a mis take. Gladstone was successful In many de partments of knowledge. Wet should 'at-t.-mpt bnt one. ' Persistency is also a' re quisite for success. The speaker very for cibly lUustrated this Idea by giving touch ing Incidents In the life of General Grant, showing his great persistency. Last of all, the enthusiasm of youth should be carried Inte aU the business of Ufe. Threw your whole being Inte everything you have te de and suecess will be sure te crown your life. Frequent and persistent spplsuse greeted the speaker frost tbe beginning te the end of his address. Prof. Hynson read " Mark Twain Inter vewed" and "Tbe Gebblsuns" very ac ceptably. Tbe muale waa furnished by Miss Emery and her pupils, and Prof. Carl' Therbahn and his pupils. Miss Emery sang a sole entiUed'Angel'a Serenade " and when recalled sang " As I'd nothing else te de. Thus ended one of the most successful anniversaries in the history of tbe Nermal society. The audlenee was se large that many oeuld net gain entrance te the Urge chapel. Tbe decorations were mere elab orate than Is usual en such oecastona. On the platform were two tastefully arranged groups of growing tropleal plants. In the centra of one of these groups was plaeed tbe banner of the society, en which is .the society's motto, "Fight for Truth and Right" The ether group formed a handsome background for the president and secretary. Back of the centre of tbe stage waa placed, en an easel, a fine, large portrait of Dr. Brooks, with a draping of the society's color en the frame. Dr. Brooks' picture also graeed the first page of pregrammes. A large monogram com posed of the letters "N. L. S," with a beautiful background, all formed of small cut flowers of different colors, occupled a pace te tbe right of the president's desk. On tbe piano, and en the president's and secretary's desk, were bouquets of roses. The blending of these tastefully arranged' decorations presented a beautiful soene and contributed largely In making tbe evening's exercises a success. HEVEUAL MINER!! KILLED.

MUDAY'M FOX CHAaB. Th Antmal Dropped ,Twlce and Fur alshea Spert Fer a Big Cnrwd. Tka fox chase In this city en Friday afternoon was a very peculiar one In many respects. The dogs were placed In a barn near College avenue, and after three o'clock the fox waa taken eat and dropped Just behind the ceUege beUdlag. It waa tkeagkt beet te keep tbe place of drep;iing tha fox aa quiet as possible la order te avoid the rush. The boys and men who Interest themselves in these events simply te see what mischief they can de, were en hand and one of Ike boys had an old our deg, which be turned upon the fox aa seen as It waa dropped. Reynard ran down towards tbe Harrlsburg pike and took refuge In a wagon shed across the read from Schreyer's hothouses, A number of rlders had started after the animal seen after he waa dropped and among these waa Wea Miller and a man named Yest, of Oregon. Miller rode te the shed, and, dismounting, ran Inside and captured tbe fox. In secnrlng he dodged under a wagon, against which he struck hla head, cutting It terribly. He took the fox out of the shed and mounting his horse he aud Yest started towards town. A number of sportsmen of this city, who Were en horseback, in buggies and en feet, did net think it right that men should be allowed te take a fox off without even al lowing the dogs te haVe a chance at It and they were determined that such a thing should net be. They rede after the men with the fox yelling te them te drop it The men continued te try te get away and Miller finally handed the fox te Yest Beth rode In the Harrlsburg turnpike te Jamea street and thonce te Duke street which was en their way home. At that point the pursuers were close upon the pursued, and they wero gettlng pretty het. They ran ahead of the two men with the fox and seen had them sur rounded. Miller's horse fell very heavily upon the pavement. The fox fell from Yest's band en James street, near Martin's brick machine works, and Augustus Rhoads and Jamea Burns plcked It up. Yest tried te take It from Burns, but could net Tbe,!Mter quickly stepped Inte "a buggy, which was in waiting, and drove hack te the college with the fox. The crowd followed him, determined te have another ohase, and Yest and Miller went home. When the fox was tuken baek he was dropped at the same spot as before, and a pretty chase followed after tbe dogs had been turned loose. The fox ran in the direction of Orevllle and then turned to wards tbe southwest He aoeu made another turn and ran towards Petersburg; He waa captured alive in nn outbuilding en the premises of Henry Shrelner, north of the second tellgate en tbe Manheira turnpike. Billy Oreab, of Neffsvllle, cap tured the animal. DEMOCRATS IN CAUCUS. Advlee Frem Mr. Randall te Stand by Their Guns Until Rules are Adopted, Undaunted by their1 defeat en Frlday.the Democratic Representatives rallied in force en Friday night in caucus, te consult evor the extent of the injuries they had sus tained as a result of the speaker's rulings, supported and confirmed by the Republi can representatives, aud te devlse ways and means te nroserve such newer snd in- lvfluenceas, in thelr opinion, should be ex- ercineu ey me minority, iney were net of cheerful mlen, but it wm a determined looking set of men who drifted Inte tbe ball of the Heuse Friday night. Mr. Helman presided and thore was a Urge attendance, about 120 members being present Mr. Regers, of Arkansas, who was amengthe first speakers, stated that be bad heard Representative Payne, of Nev Yerk, say that Mr. Carllsle was responsible for tbe deUy in the presentation of the rules, and that they would have been before tbe Heuse 10 days age if he bad dene his duty. This brought Mr. Carlisle te his feet wUh a vigorous denial. He said that there had been only tbroe meetings of the commlttee en rules, the first being en the 23d of Janu ary. There bad been no meeting in the committee room. He had nover recelved a notice in writing of a meeting of the com mittee en rule since tbe beginning of tbe Congress, but be bad been sent for by the speaker and had met him and Messrs. Mc Klnley and Cannen at the speaker's room at the speaker's roquest He bad been sent for te attend two ethor meetings at tbe apcakcr'a. request, lasting only about twenty minutes each. He had promptly attended every meetingcalled. There had been no meetings stnee last Monday. When Mr. Carlisle had refuted the charge of dereliction of duty en hla part, a Jetter was presented te the caucus from Repre sentative Randall, He advised tbe Deme crats te stay In tbe Heuso and stand by their guns ; te use overy effort te step ab solutely all business In tbe nouse until a set of rules has been presented and adopted. This stirring advice from the eld-tliie leader lying en bis sick bed was extremity welcome te his fellow Democrats, and was, moroever, In tbe line of action that they declded te fellow. There waa much talk. of course, and some of tbe members were! hitter in the denunciation or me proceed ings of the last three days. But conservative counsels prevailed, and It was felt that the party had hotter fellow the leadership of Messrs. Carlisle, Crisp and Mills. Ne one oeuld auggest any new obstructive tactics that premised well, and the general opinion was te the effect that the pregramme followed during the last three days should be continued In force, and that every parliamentary inove that would obstruct the Republicans lu their de- signs should be made. Th( he readlnir of the leurnal in full Is te be insisted upon, and Is expected te consume an hour of each day; the yeas and nays arotebodomanded at overy step and ap peals are te be taken from all rulings re garded as arbitrary and unjust by tbe minority. Thore was no formal resolution te this adopted, however. Mr. Carllsle with Uie aid of ether Ioaders will draw up an address te the country which will be published in justification of the ceurse of tue minority, uuring me speecn inaaing, the subject of securing the intervention of the supreme court te attempt te establish tbe illegal nature of the Republican pro ceedings was breached, but no action was taken. IIRAVE MEN IN BATTLE. Stirring the Spirit or High Uerelca and Suggesting the Smell of Powder. Prem the Indianapolis Journal. It was In tha midst of ene of the hottest fights or the civil war Champien Hill. We were lu the thickest of the fight and bad suffered dreadfully under the fire of the enemy, when suddenly there came a momentary lull at our immediate point In the line. We had fallen luck u few steps under tbe partUl shelter of a little rise In the ground, but were even then only a few yards removed from tbe enemy, se close, in fact, that but for the nolse of the battle we might have been able te converse with them In an ordinary tone of voice. The Confederates hud dene exactly aa we hed and tbe movement of both forces hed been made very quickly. In seme unaccountable manner a initn of each command, a Confederate and an Eleventh Indiana soldler, had falled te keep in the line, and when their comrades fell back these two soldiers faced each ethor, several yards In advance of thelr regiments, and only a dozen yards apart. I shall never forget the sight of these two soldlera as they steed thore glowering en each ether, although it was only for an Instant they remained inactive. Their faces were se begrimed with smokeand pewder that they wero scarcely recogniza ble, and both fairly jianted from tlw exer tions they bad been making. Any mem ber of our regl merit could have shot tbe man in gray had he cared te de se, and any man In his regiment could hare killed the gallant yenng Yankee w here he steed, hut thore Is where the spirit of fair play came In, Beth sides realized at a gUnce that the two men steed en an exactly equal footing, aud whUe net one of tbe comrade of either failed te entertsln a wish that his comrade might come out victor In the duel that was sure te fellow, net one raised a gun te bring down his fee. The two msn evidently, realized and fully appreciated the situation. Tbe gun of each was empty. A Confederate ran put from their line with some cartridges In his hand, which he stuffed Inte his com cem rade'a box, and I did tbe same for our man, aad both of ns retreated unmolested. Yeu never saw men lead mere rapidly than did these adversaries, for both knew that the slowest bad rammed home his last charge. It was tbe work of a moment only and our boy wen. , The Confederate waited te .withdraw his ramrod and this lest him his Ufe, for the soldier of the Eleventh never stepped. Quick as a flash when the charge Went home he raised his musket, his eye glanced along tbe barrel and In the very act of raising his plece the brave rebel for he was a brave man felt dead at his opponent's feet, ramrod, charge and all having passed completely through his body. The victor ran back te our line. I shook hla hand, hut nobody spoke. A few mementa later we were all hotly en gaged again. This Isthe best Instance of a soldier's willingness te see fair play that ever cams under my observation. 4 SHE OOE9 TO DIE FOR LEPERS. Mlaa Fowler Arrives en Her Way t Father DamUn's Island.

The week be fore abe left hernatlvn country all Eng land had grown enthusiastic evor the news that one of Its young women was starting out te give her life te work among the leper.

Seven yeara age, shortly after becoming a Reman-Catholic, Miss Fowler first formed the Idea of taking up this work, but she realized that she was tee young at the time and appreciated the noed of study.

He also prayed wlille ascending the stairs backward, cooked eggs and killed ene of their chlckeus by tearing off its heed w lib hla hands.

The WaehiBgtea public seems te have taken It for granted that the parliamentary struggle In, tka Heuse Is pracUcally ever, and that tka ex citing and turbulent seenes of the last few days are net te be kept up because the gal leries, while pretty well filled at the hour or meeting today, did net present the Jammed appearance of yesterday, end there was no such pressure aad sailing through the corridors as waa tha ease yesterday.
