Tl.e bill, I which was introduced bf Mr. Furr, of j Lackawanna, chairman of the committee ' on education, requires that all children be tween tin) ngc f eight and twelve years nhnll nttend school for at lenst nix top u weeks In each yur unless satisfactory ex ruwa can be offered by parent or guar illnns. Failure to observe the law subjects violators to a fin of $2 for the first oIihn aud $5 for subsequent offenses. SIKATOR MITCHELL, Or nnAnrORD, The law la regarded as one that will bear with especial hunhneu upon Tory poor people who ennnot afford to either send their children to school or pay Hne. On the other band well-to-do people oan very easily alTord to pay what to them are small fines. Mr. Fair Introduced the mme bill last year and devoted his entire time to work ing it throngh, only to have bis work de stroyed by the veto of the governor. Many believe that the present bill will meet the same fate. Too meeting of the temperance unloa bere this week brought the members of the, legislature to a realisation of the tact that there Is every probability that the bouse will pass the local option bill drafted by ex-Chief Justice Aguew of Uie supreme ceuit. Recently on a test vote 89' ballot were oast In it favor and many who were' not present at the time fuvor Its passage. Sbonld the senate be of the same tram of mind as the house and pass tbs bill there li every probability that Uovernor Pattfson will gladly attach his approval to the meas ore and the voters of the various counties will one again have an opportunity of de ciding by ballot whether or not tbelr lo calities shall have liquor In their midst. Nearly twenty years ago the legislature, after a two yean' trial, repealed the local option law enaeted during the session following the adaption of the present con stitution. Although local option has many friends In ttte house, tfcer are compara tively few who favor the bill prohibiting the sale or gift of liquor on Decoration day and there is every probability that it will be permitted to expire on the postponed calendar. The members of the house are chafing under the abuse being dished out by the Philadelphia newspapers favoring the pas sage of Senator Penrose's bill abolishing the public building commission and many of them assert tfaat unless these attacks cease tbey will vote against the bill. Everybody who has not declared In favor of the measure Is Jumped on most vigor ously and such men as "Uncle John" Cessna, of Bedford, and Representative Kites, of Tioga, resent such abuse. HARHisnrno, April 5. Senator Mitchell, chairman of the committee on mines and mining, will probably fix next Tuesday for a further hearing on the compromise bi tuminous mine bill, which has been amended contrary to the agreement of the confer ence of operators and miners a few weeks go. It is understood that the bill will be reported to the senate in it original shape. JfMrED TO ESCAl'K CH1CM ATION. Iwo Women Mak a Hold Leap Prom a Burning Building. Indianapolis, April 6.

A FLORIDA VISITOR WHO THOUGHT IT WAS TIME TO SWEAR OFF. From Tho Chicago Tribune. A tipsy traveling mun took an im pressive vow never again to t:.ste liquor yesterday. Me was in earnest, too. He had good reason to be, for he thought he had 'etn. This is how it happened t L. B. Dyke, a Colorado mine owner, on his way from St. Augustine, Fla., went into the bar room of the Great Northern. Among other curious things picked up in the city of the Southeastern pe ninsula he had a fine chameleon, a lit tle fellow with a body about an inch and a half long and a tapering tail two inches long. This he wore as a scarf pin, having it tethered to his tie by a fine gold chain. At the bar stood a traveling man, who was telling his companions, in a maudlin tone, of a wonderful concoction of mixed drinks he had discovered. Happening to glance at Mr. Dyke, he caught fight of the chameleon. The glance was a casual one, but soon became fixed in intensity. The chameleon seemed to fascinate him. He was able to look away from it but for an instant at a time, and then his gaze was diverted toward the untouched glass of liquor in fro-it of him. Finally he seemed unable to stand the suspense longer and approached Mr. Dyke. 'Pardon me," he said in a husky voice, "but that's a queer scarf-pin you wear." "You are mistaken sir; I wear no scarf-pin." "What ?" "I wear no pin in my scarf." As if to emphasize his thnial he brushed his hand lightly over the pin. The cham eleon ran rapidly to the end of the chain and rested on his coat collar. "Great Heavens, man, it moved I "It's on your coat collar now." "Oh, I guess you're mistaken. See, there is nothing there," and again the hand touched the animated pin. This time the chameleon ran down out of sight beneath Mr. Dyke's vest. "No, there is nothing there," said the traveling man, slowly. He stood there fully a minute, apparently obliv ious to all surroundings A fearful possibility seemed to present itself to him. Finally he raised his right hand. "I swear I will never touch a drop of liquor again as long as I live. I've often heard of them but never thought I'd see 'em," and, leaving the liquor untouched he slowly walked to the elevator and had a bell boy show him to his rcom. "Chameleons are common in Flori da," said Mr. Dyke. "Ladies as well as gentlemen wear them for orna ments." Specimen Cases. S. C. Clifford, New Cassel Wis., was troubled with Neuralgia and Rheumatism, his Stomach was dis ordered, his Liver was affected to an alarming degree, appetite fell away, and he was terribly reduced in flesh and strength.
