WASHINGTON From our Hi-uulnr Correpnmlent. Washington, I). C, April 27, 190R. The President's policies have re ceived a severe jolt in Conre, the Senate leaders having practicilly decided to do almost nothing which the Kxecutive has recommended. The Steering Committee of the Senate held a formal meeting to decide on the legislative programme for the remainder of the session. The first decision reached was that adjournment should be taken on May t6, unless something happen ed in the House to prevent the necessary co-operation of that body. It was further decided that r.o ac tion would be taken on any of the proposed amendments to the Inter state Commerce or the Anti-Trust acts; that only two battleships would be authorized; that no anti injunction bill would be considered; that no vote would be had on the Brownsville resolutions and that the Senate would make no conces sions to the Home on the subject of financial legislation. In thU connection, Senator Aldrich told the story of two men in a boat, one of whom wanted to go to sea and the other to cast anchor. Finally, the one said, "Well, I'll anchor my end of the boat and you can go to sea with the other and be hanged." That, said Mr. Aldrich was the po sition of the Senate. It would an chor all financial legislation to sound business principles and the House could go to sea with its end of the boat if it could find a way to do so. ... Last week in the House was marked by the most extraordinary and outrageous ruling ever perpe trated by a Speaker of that body. Ia the face of an explicit demand for the yeas and nays preferred by the Democratic leader, Mr. Wil liams, the Speaker declared the House adjourned on a vive voce vote, despite the constitutional pro vision that the minority shall al ways have the privilege of demand ing the yeas and nays. Mr. Wil liams introduced, the next day, a resolution censuring Speaker Can non but his cowed supporters promptly voted it down. Mr. Wil liams said later that in all the his tory of the House no Speaker had so deliberately struck at the dignity of the body as a deliberative assem bly as had Mr. Cannon who by this piece of tyranny fairly outdid any thing attempted by Speaker Reed it the time when he won the sobri quet of "Czar" of the House. The Republicans in the Senate have struck a snag in their Browns ville plans. The Steering Commit tee, as I said, above decided not to permit the matter to come to a vote, but the rank and file of the Repub lican Senators have organized a revolt. Senator Borah in a powerful speech denounced the effort to play politics with the Brownsville out rage as pusillanimous to the last degree, but that is a form of pusil lanimity which the Republicans seem unable to escape. Of course the great flaw in their system is the fact that they have long catered to the negro vote and counted on it to carry certain districts which were normally Democratic. Now the negroes are demanding that they whitewash and restore to the army the soldiers who shot up the town of Brownsville and many Republi cans are afraid to say them nay. They have Senator Foraker to thank for this situation but, as Mr. Cleveland put it, "it is a condition and not a theory" which confronts them. It is still difficult to foresee the outcome. If they restore the negroes to the army they will be condemned by all honest white men, and if they do not they will lose thousands of negro votes, and they can see no way out, while Mr. For aker, iu his almost insane desire to injure Secretary Taf t keeps foment ing the negro question. The President is thoroughly out of patience with Congress. He and his Postmaster General are intensely in earnest in their advo- How's This?

ALL DRUOCISTSi cacy of postal savings banks and the Senate committee on Post offic er and Post Roads has lavorably reported a bill providing for their establishment to the Senate, but the leaders have listened to the plea of the bankers who do not want this sor. of competition and have decided not to allow the measure to come to a vote. What the outcome of this situation will be cannot be foretold, but it now seems probable that no action will be taken at this session. There has been reported to the House a bill providing for publicity for campaign contributions, but the Democratic members of the com mittee which reported the bill tell me it is so loosely drawn that it af fords all sorts of loopholes for es cape and that its enactment will be merely a bluff with which to satisfy an insistent public demand. There aie few Republicans who would care to have an effective law along those lines on the statutes, as is shown by the fact that the most in sistent advocacy produced no effect with the last Congress. It seems probable that the House will pass this bill and then leave it to the Senate to kill it by non-action. New Knowledge in Farming. An editorial talk in the April 251b issue of Farm and Fireside: "It's as plain as a red barn on a side hill that the business of farm ing has reached a sharp turn in the road, that the ranks of the soil till ers are rapidly being separated into two camps: the Do-It-As Dad-Did-It and the New Knowledge Group. Right now, of course, the members of the New Knowledge Group are in the minority; the old-line farm ers can outvote them on any propo sition and not know that there has been a contest. "But just the same, the agricul tural colleges are turning out every year an increasing number of young men who can tell the veteran fann er a whole lot about his own game. Best of all, the New Knowledge youth can give a reason for the faith that is in him; he can tell the why of what happens in the corn field, the wheat field, the pasture, the meadow, the barn yard and the dairy house. Aud the best part of it is that he is farming with an open mind instead of closed eyes and tools that Dad used. No young man can today take eveu the 'short course' in an agricultural college and not come out with the knowl edge that the best and biggest thing taught him there is that the world is still moving on and that he must keep on reading and studying and listening aud thinking or else he will fall so far behind the procession of progress that he can't hear the band play or the bystanders cheer." After Old Canals. The new State Railroad Commis sion will investigate the acquisition and abandonment of the old canals of this state by railroad companies. The old South Pennsylvania Rail road projects which was dropped, it is believed because of its being a strong competition of the Pennsyl vania road, will alio be investigated. If practicable the legislat re will be recommended to enact such leg islation as may enable the state to reclaim these canals and restore them as highways of commerce. m ' Trespass Notices.

Liquid Rhaker. t An entirely new novelty of recent origin Is the "liquid shaker" shown In the Illustration below. It Is a hygienic device, designed to reBt up on and overlap the edgo ot a vessel in which liquids are to be shaken. It PROTECTS THR MKDICINE. com (tinea a dink composed of two layers of cork, between which Is a sheet of rubber to render the shaker waterproof and non-absorbent. Thl treatment also renders the cork as eptic. Around the edges of the disk are guides, whereby the shaker Is held In position ou the rim of a glass. A slight pressure 011 the shaker causes the periphery to yield forc ing the center into the vessel. This action has the effect of expelling some of the air, creating a vacuum which holds the cover tightly upon the rim and prevents leakage of the liquids however hard the vessel and cover are shaken. The device is also useful in a sickroom or in any Instance where a vessel containing a beverage or medicine Is allowed to stand exposed to the possible deleterious effects of the atmosphere.

Value of the Glycerin In Cooking. Good cooks know the value of a few drops of glycerine added to the flour in rnUe making In the propor tion of ..eittjpoonful to one pound of flour. This makes the cake light and feathery, while three teaspoon ful with every pound of fruit in making preserves prevents the fer mentation of the sugar owing to In sufficient boiling and obviates all risk of the latter crystallizing. It is also useful to keep steam or frost from setting on windows. Wipe the liiBido of the window with a cloth moistened with puro glycerine, leav ing only a trace of the glycerine on the glass. linked EggN.

Only the very brightest of fiction can now hold the interest such a story, for in stance, as the complete novel in the May I.iffineote s: "The Pirate of Alastair." Rupert Sargent Hol land, the author, will be pleasantly remembered as the writer of that clever book, "The Count at Har vard." He has invested his new tale with a healthful outdoor at mosphere. You will feel that you too would like to be on that remote corner of the Maine coast, taking part in such stirring adventures as befell Felix Selden. Lippincotfs always excels in the matter of short stories, and this month is no exception to the rule. Dorothea Deakiu, creator of "Georgie," contributes a blithe some tale called "The Serpent's Tooth," which contains a lesson for a certain class of mothers who would do well to take it to heart. Thomas L,. Masson's story, "A Man's Game," shows the humorous touch and the keen knowledge of human nature which have earned this author his reputation as one of our foremost humorists. "Helen's First Sunday," by George Herbert Clarke, is a dainty little tale apropos of Decoration Day. "Patience Fes senden's Scandalous Story," by Jajj net Garth, and "The Bed of Pro crustes," by Jane Belfield, are also worthy of special mention. An article of decided importance to the literary world is "The Trag ic End of Guy de Maupassant," by Albert Schinz. There has always been considerable mystery anent the last days of this famous French writer, and now for the first time for many it is cleared up. The third of Joseph M. Rogers's re markable series of articles on "Ed ucating Our Boys" deals with "Athletics and Sentiment." It is perhaps the most important of all as you may agree when you read it. Other notable papers in the number are "Going to the Dogs," by Clifford Howard; "The Benefac tion of Tuberculosis," by John Stone; "Co-operation," by Ellis O. Jones; "The Passing of the Home," by Minna Thomas Antrim; and "The Summons of Spring," by Edwin L. Sabin. In addition to the foregoing, there are a number of charming poems and the sixteen-page humor ous section, "Walnuts and Wine," devoted to original jokes, jingles, and anecdotes. The May Zii- cotfs should be a "winner. To Stop Mountain Fires. The Reading Railroad Company is determined to put a stop to the vicious and wanton practice of set ting fire to mountain forests by reason of which young trees are destroyed, and frequently damage is doneto property adjoining the woods and last week Win, Bone of Pottsville, was arrested and fined for wantonly firing woods. Other arrests are promised, as the officers of the law have been on the alert for offenders of this kind. its If you have Headache I Try They Relieve Pain Quickly, leaving no ft at.
