Albany, Jan. 3. The Democrats have
nailed douu and copper-fastened their Tie
publican focmen in the Legislature, and in
the doinc of it they ued the iron hammer
of closure which was never before lifted in
the Senate of the State ot Xew York. The
thin; was done, too, o deftly and with such
sleekne" as almost to challenge admiration
from the Republicans thu silenced.
The two houses of the Legislature were
orcanired simultaneously. Tiie day has
been an anxious one for ttfe Democratic
members and leaders. They could not know
w hat mine mieht have been laid by the I!e-
publican leaders in Xew York Snnday and
Monday. Hence there was careful drilling
in the Democratic camp. Every tactic
likelv to be called into play in the possible
battle was tried. This took time, and when
the preparation was concluded the hour for
convening the Senate had passed by.
Repnlilicins Agnln Coaxinc; Edwards.
Meantime the Republican camp was in
council of war. The partisan wand was
once ncrain laid upon the cranium of Sena
tor Edward, but it had no power. Ho
would go into the Senate, he reiterated, and
do what he deemed to be his duty. This
position of the Senator being unstorniablo,
the Republicans concluded that as Edwards
would give the Democrats a quorum ;hcv
milrht just as well go in and take their
places. So at 11 o'clock sharp thev were in
their scats, waiting calmly for the blare of
Democratic trnnipete.
A few minutes after 11 o'clock Senator
Edwards came into the chamber, and, with
everv eye of the crowd upon him, sauntered
round to his desk. He is a large, heavy
headed man of sallow complexion, with a
full beard and hair and a bricht eve. A
fw threads of tray streak his whiskers
under the cars. He wears a derby bat and
doeskin sloves. Spectacles ride his nose
and a Prince Albert coat cives the finish
ing touch to his ministerial look and dress.
The Dcmncrits Orgnni7e tlirSemte.
At 11:20 the Democrats came into the
chamber, fresh from their drill. The younsr
Lieutenant Governor ascended to the chair,
and the Senate was in session. Then Sen
ators were sworn in and the Democratic
caucus officers of the Senate were elected,
Edwards voting with the Republicans, his
presence (or a quorum being all the Demo
crats desired.
Then came the sterner business of the
day. Cp to this point Senator Edwards Was
an important clement in the situation, but
the Democrats did not propose to relv long
on an "Independent Republican." "Walker
was to be seated without an opportunitv on
the part of Sherwood or any Republican
Senator to enter a protest or to ask for an
investigation.
Senator Cantor, the Democratic Senate
leader, offered a resolution declaring Charles
E. "Walker to have been plectcd Senator
irom the Twenty-seventh district, and on
his resolution he moved the previous ques
tion. Instantlv up rose Senator Erwin, a
Senator whose face when in repoe has been
raid to resemble that of Dr. Jeykel, and
when in laughter to resemble that of Mr.
Hyde. He has a voice of monstrous
volume.
The Gaz Motion Travails.
"There is no previous question in this
body," roared Erwin, and he askeddeave to
present Sherwood's petition.
"You can do that after wc have acted on
this motion," said Shcehan.
Erwin made a grimace. O'Connor wished
to debate the resolutions. The previous
question was the excuse for the Lieutenant
Governor to shut him off.
'Elected representatives have no rights
in this bodv." shouted O'Connor. Again
Erwin thundered his protest against the
closure. Shcehan smiled and immediately
put the question. Senator O'Connor pro
tested. Sei.r.to' Cantor then explained. He
said that the Senate, not havine yet adopted
any rules of order, the body was under the
general parliamentary practice, where it
provides for a previous question.
The scheme of the Democrats, too, became
very apparent. They did not wish to take
upon themselves the "onus of havine changed
the time-honored custom of the State Sen
ate that allows no restriction or limit upon
debate, so they left the adoption of the
rules of the Senate that had prevailed dur
ing the past sessions until after the work of
Eecurin a Democratic majority was com
pleted. Tim Democratic Majority Toted In.
The Republicans were speechless, and
they vainly tried to get a hearing to point
out that if precedent was to be the guide it
Ehould be the precedent of the State Senate
and general parliamentary gatherings.
"Walker was voted in, 1G to 14, Inde
pendent Edwards voting against the reso
lution. "Walker was at once called to the
desk, when he took the oath, and then the
late dekof J. SI oat Fassett was taken
possession of by a Democrat.
Senators Roesch. of 2s'ew York, Endres,
of Eiie, Democrats, and Emerson, Republi
can, were appointed Committee ou Privi
leges and Elections, and they will proceed
to inquire into the contests against the four
Republicans. Richardson, Derby, Donald
son and Van Gorder. The Democrats must i
have .0 votes to msnre appropriation bills,
and the probability is that all except Van
Gorder will have to give way to the Demo
crats. The Democrats mean to lose no time in
reapportioning the State, and Senator Mc
Lelland introduced ari enumerating bill
which necessitates the completion of the
census taken bv March 2. The work of organ
ization was eflected quickly and the Gov
ernor's message was presented.
Governor Flo wcr's Maiden Message.
He congratulated the people of the
State upon the fact that for the first time in
eight years the Governor is able to address
his suggestion to a Legislature in political
accord with the Executive. He states that
the paramount duty before the Legislature
is to provide for an enumeration ot the in
habitants ot the State preparatory to a re
apportionment of the Senate and Assembly
districts. II" also points out the necessity
lor an immediate reapportionment of Con
gressional districts.
The rest of the message, except a passage
recommending a liberal appropriation for a
State exhibit at the "World'sFair, is devoted
to purely State issues. He advises the
Legislature to make proper provision for a
Constitutional convention. Recommends
the extension of a system of registration
of electors. He says that any measure
properly drawn and not in conflict with the
Constitution, which will so bulwark the
present ballot law as to make intimidation
and brioery impossible, will receive his
hearty approval.
Both Houses adjourned until 8:30 Tues
day nieht to permit the arrangements of
committees by the presiding officers. The
Committee on Privileges and Elections will
meet, however, in the Senate chamber at
10:30 Thursday moraine to e UP the con
test of Collins against Derby. '"
NO REST FOR GARZA'S MEN.
TKOOPS AND RANGERS RAID A CAMP
OF THE FLEEING ENEMY.
A Corporal Shot by a Ticket or His Own
Company Mexicans Taken to Browns
ville for Trial Lieutenant Garza, Who
Had Escaped, Surrenders.
Rio Grande City, Texas, Jan. 5
Corporal Rute, Troop C, Third 'Cavalry,
was shot by a picket of his own company,
at Salino, a few days ago. He was brought
to Ringgold, died yesterday and was buried
to-day.
Several revolutionary prisoners, guarded
by a detachment of soldiers and three
deputy marshals, left here for Brownsville
yesterday for trial by the Federal Court
now in session there." A few hours after
their capture a dispatch was received
from Sheriff Glosncr, of Edinburg, to the
Post Commander, saying it was reported
that a band of mounted Mexicans had been
at Havana Ranch, midway'between Ring
gold and Edinburg, and on the route by
which the prh-oners were being taken.
In less than 30 minutes Troop C, Third
Cavalry and Captain McNeil's company of
rangers were in the saddle with the under
standing with Sheriff Glosner thattheywere
to attack Havaoa at daylight. The Sheriff
left Edinburc witli a posse of 15, taking an
operator to establish a temporary office At
o'clock this mornins news was received
from Havana to the commandine officer as
follows, from Laughorn:
A little after davbreak this morning Cap
tnin McKay, with C Troop, went into the
Jaya pasture. Captain McNeil with his
company went thiougli the middle ot it,
and with ten men, and two deputies went
into the upper part. Three i evolution
ist were chased by the rangers, but
they escaped. I rau into a small camp
and got six saddles and bridles, but
the owneri had just left. Captains McKay
and McNpiI liad already c.iuitht seven
horses, including the Government horse lost
at the Retinal fight, and two saddles. Sev
eral of the revolutionists crossed the river
during the night, but in such haste as to
leave a horse otuck in the mud and the sad
dle on the fui ther side.
Lieutenant Thomas Garza, the deputy
marshal arrested bv Deputy Marshal Ban
ada before the Retinal fight, and who es
caped during the skirmish, came in and sur
rendered to the military authorities this
morning. The revolutionists are badly
scattered and everything is comparatively
quiet.
Captain J. G. Bourke, attending Federal
court at Brownsville, wires that he has ob
tained valuable information with reference
to persons identified with the Garza move
ment, from the prisoner Garza. General
Garza is said to have become despondent of
accomplishing much on Texas soil, and will
probably gather his lorces and go into
Mexico.
MKS BEECHEE MEETS A CRAKE,
And Like Mrs. Russell Sage, fife Forthwith
Puts Her Ont.
Xrx York, Dec. 5. Mrs. Henry "Ward
Beecher thus describes the visit of a beg
ging crank to her house at Orange and Hicks
street, Brooklyn, a few days ago:
"I admitted the woman myself. She
was a stranger to me and about 40 years
old. She told me her rent was due, and
that her children were sick aud her
husband out of employment. "When
I asked her what I could do
for her, she said that I must let her have
$0 at once. "When I told her that I
had not that amount of money in the
house just then, the woman sprang to her
feet and began to abuse me. She went on,
'You, you, the rich Mrs. Beecher, mean to
tell me that you haven't got ?6 about you?
Aren't you ashamed to lie so?' I pointed to
to the door and told the woman to go out,
and after looking at me very hard for a few
seconds she went out,
"Even, body knows that I am not rich. I
rent this house. My income is a modest
one, but it, together with what I earn with
my pen, supports me comfortable, that is
all. I have no complaint to make. Every
body from the church and outside the
chufch is loving kindness itself."
SCAlP-GEAriING EXPEBIMENT.
It Does Not Work in One Case, Hut
the
Tncovered Tart. Is llcnllng.
Tey York, .Tan. 3. Mrs. Minnie "Wilck
was scalped on December 2G, 1890, by her
hair being caught in the machinery of a
laundry. She was taken to Bellcvue
Hospital, where the. doctors decided
to try skin grafting. More than half the
part exposed healed under the skin-grafting
treatment, and now only a place about
3x4 inches remains open. Over that, how
ever, the grafted skin refused to adhere,
and tw o months ago the doctors decided to
abandon the experiment and leave a skin to
lorm of its awn accord.
Dr. Glisan, who is in charge of the case,
said yesterday that granulation had ceased
and that the epithelium promised to cover
the raw places. He declined to say when
the patient might leave the hospital, but
he thought if she continued to improve as
she had unproved during the past few
weeks that the wound would be entirely
healed before the end of the vear.

AND THEN THEY HATE THEIR 0WX WAT
New York, Jan. 5. The frolicsome
cupids in the dome of Sherry's splendid
ballroom ceased playing with their rose
wreaths yesterday, and listened anxiously
while the councillors of Sorosis, the famous
pioneer of woman's clubs, the sisterhood of
advanced thinkers, the guild of strong
minded, emancipated womanhood, discussed
the subject of husbands. Well might even
n painted god of love tremble as he reflected
ominously that no son of Adam was allowed
to enter this Eden to defend his kind. It
was witli a great sigh of satisfaction that
Sorosis greeted Mrs. Terhune, whom all
women know and love as Marion Harlaud,
when she ppened the subject by analyzing
and classifying the typical husband accord
ing to his peculiar traits and idiosyn
crasies. "Every loving wife is convinced," said
Mrs. Harlandj '"that she could have brought
up her husband better than did his mother
or whatever feminine relatives had. the
training of him," and all the wives smiled
and nodded. Mrs. Terhune added: "The
first obstinate fanlt of the husband, who,
for brevity, shall be named John, is that he
is not, can't be, and wouldn't be if he could
a woman. And the wife's irrational long
ing for sympathy in taste, opinion, and feel
ing from her wedded lord is a banefnl
growth sure to spring up around the domes
tic hearth. The variance of views upon
importaut subjects consequent upon
the standpoint masculine and standpoint
feminine makes one wonder at -the human
powers of philosophic endurance which
enable so many married couples to jog on
comfortably together.
Courtship Not the Same as Marriage.
"Courtship is one thing and marriage an
other. Mary's primal mistake is in assum
ing (upon John's authority) that the two
states arc one and the same, and that moon
light vows and noonday action are entirely
in harmony. Mary talies to the responsi
bilities of domestic life easily and natur
ally. John's liking is an acquired one,
like that tor olives and caviare, and to gain
an aptitude for its duties requires patience.
"Another blow to Mary's ideals is a fall
ing off in the small, sweet courtesies which
are the peaceable fruits of the gospel
of conventionality. Politeness is like
gingerbread it is only good when it is
homemade, and cannot be bought with
money. However kind ami intelligent
John may be, he needs to be cleverly man
aged when in double harness, to be coaxed
and petted up to what otherwise he might
shy at. If he is prone to savagery
when hungry, and he usually is, a wise
wife will wait until he lias dined before
broaching unpleasant matters. If he is in
clined to object to everything she proposes,
as some Johns are, simple because she is a
woman, she will learn to make him propose
the thing she desires, and think it is his
own idea. Men may be gay deceivers in
love, but at home they are the most gullible
and transparent of beings.
"John is neither a saint nor a hero. He
never tried to make Mary believe he was.
He has objected to being canonized, and
Mary is more often to blame fbr her dis
illusions than he is. Men arc not to be
measured by feminine ideas or ideals. Put
him in his proper place, survey him by the
white light of common sense, and if he is
true to his vows let Mary thank heaven
fasting for a good man's love."
Marital TrouDieg Should Bo Kept Secret.
Mrs. Yardley said that one great danger
to marital happiness arose from seeking
outside sympathy when the charms of
romance, poetry and sentiment found the
dead level of reality. "The troubles of
married people," sne said, "should be
guarded as sacred secrets, for then the dif
ferences are more easily adjusted and har
mony may be restored. One great cause of
turmoil is the money relation. Another is
that man in his friction with the world for
gets how wearing are the small irritations
of life. He is tired and does not wish to
listen to the uninteresting details of a
woman's small trials. The wife grows still
and preoccupied and dull, which furnishes
him with an excuse for neglecting her, so
they drift away from each other. A woman
should never allow herself to grow dull and
uninteresting if she would keep her hus
band a lover. It she would preserve the
romance of the courting time she must be
as entertaining and anxious to please as in
the days of the wooing."
Mrs. Herrick, Marian Harlaud's daugh
ter, attributed the failure of marital happi
ness to girls being taught to expect too
much happiness from marriage, abd that
love is its only essential by romances,
poetry, songs and tradition. But, while
not belittling love, she claimed that re
spect based upon superior qualities, esteem
for those attributes that would make the
wife desire the husband as a friend if she
could not have him for a husband; common
sense, which teaches her that a faultr
woman need not expect a perfect husband,
and great patience "that passion of noble
souls" are quite as essential elements in
the domestic bliss. She cautioned the wife
against holding up her soul to her
husband always with a thorn in it Men
cannot understand intangible griefs and un
rest She also said that one of the first
lessons a wife should learn is that her hus
band has a right to his own individuality,
and that, while she can inspire him to
greater achievements in work for which he
lias a bias, she cannot, as she may fondly
dream, mold his character, and she wonldn t
respect him if she could. Girls should be
taught that marriage is not the gateway of
heaven, and that even at this Eden" the
angel stands with the flaming sword to turn
back souls that seek an earthly paradise.
Women should know their lovers so well
tnat marriage can bring no great disap
pointments. Marriage is not a match made
in heaven, but an enrthlv union founded on
mutual respect, over wnich the love that
made the bond possible sheds a tender in
fluence. Jenny Jnne Tell Her Experience.
Jenny June said she compared her hus
band to" her father, and was very much in
jured at his habits differing from the par
ent's, until a nice married friend told her
that she had not married her father, but
her husband, that she took him for "better
or worse," and that she ought to find all the
"better" she could, and think of it con
stantly. Beside, said the nice friend, "if
you had a little private talk with your
inother she might tell you some peculiarities
in your father that you would object to in
a husband." Mrs. Croly also said that she
did not think husbands were as often dis
appointed in wives as vice versa,for willful,
selfish girls made faithful wives and seh
sacrificing mothers. "A woman is not at
her best until after she married. Marriage
is a great education and test. Young wives
are too ant to lower the standard of charac
ter to please the husband. It is not essen
tial to be assertive, but simply to hold your
ground where principle is concerned, and if
you do at the same time hold your tongue
and keep your temper, you can do almost
anything with a man."
Mrs. Ravenhill said she was tired of hear
ing what woman should do and sacrifice for
her husband; that women were naturally
more gentle and self-denying than men, anil
that husbands needed to be trained from
the time they were horn. Girls were taught
that marriage was the main object in life.
Boys were taught that every career was
open to them and all glory theirs by right
divine, hence they are dominant and as
sertive. "Mutual dependence and inde
pendence is the secret of a happy union."
.Mrs. Dennison, one of the prettiest of J
young wives in Sorosis, said she had always
wondered why men liked so well to marry
widows until after she was married and saw
how the woman who has been married
knows the secret of married life, which is
adaptability and tact in going around sharp
corners.
Don't Ask Illm "Tliore He Goes.
Lily Devercux Blake suggested as one
rule for marital happiness that the wife
should not always ask the husband where
he was going when he went away and where
he had been when he came back. And as
another the equal division of money, for she
claimed one-half of every dollar the husband
has belongs in the law to the wife. She
told the storr of the woman who said:
"When Obadlah said, 'With all my worldly
goods I thee endow,' she didn't know that
it meant one calico dress a year," and of
the man who believed in women having
money to spend and gave his wife all the
butter monev. There were eight in the
family and they kept only one cow.
Mrs. Lozier "said that "in the oneness of
husband and wife, which is the true mar
riage, there must be either compromise or
sacrifice. That the true wedlock should be
the composite reproduction of the sweetest
and best traits in each character. "Woman
has been called the weaker vessel, the cling
ing vine, through all the ages. Now every
one's weakness and strength is in streaks.
Let the strong complement the weak in this
marriage bond. If the wife hasn't enough
strength of mind to get past a bargain
counter let the husband guard the ex
chequer. If the man is extravagant let the
woman keep the purse. Some men never
can save money until they are married."
Then a sweet-voiced, white-haired old lady
rose and talked of love as the solution of the
whole problem, the one and only essential
in the marriage state as embracing all the
virtues that had been named as necessary,
and recompensing all pain. The painted
Cupids seemed to wave their wings in
ecstasy, but the wives all smiled. The
sweet-faced votary of the power of love had
never been married at all.
THEY WANTED SPECTACULAR.
An Incident Illustrating the Dramatic
Taste of the Texas Cowboy.
Chicago Press.
"The smallest and most unappreoiative
audience I ever saw, "said Mr. Tagliapietra,
the baritone, "was in Marshall, Tex., 14 or
15 years ago. It consisted solely of 12 cow
boys, and they stayed in the house just two
minutes. At the end of that time they
showed their want ot approval by shooting
out the footlights and leaving the hall.
The stage was a rude platform at one end,
raised on horses so that one could see clear
under it Not more than four or five peo
ple could go on at once, but we had to have
the ?300, and I decided to give the show. I
asked Major Cumming, the manager, if he
had any scenery, and he replied with great
dignity that he most certainly had. When
we came around at night I was dumfounded
by discovering that the scenery consisted of
common sheets tacked up at the rear and
sides of the stage. There was no curtain,
and a dozen kerosene oil lamps served as
footlights. There was no use kicking, so
we got ready to produce "La Favonta"
under these conditions.
"There was not a soul in tho house when
we commenced, but we were told the audi
ence was across the street getting a drink,
and would come over after we got to work.
In a few minutes they came 12 tall, lank
looking cowboys, with their trousers in their
boots, broad sombreros, chinking spurs, pis
tols in their belts and a lantern in the right
hand of each man stalked noisily in, and
sat down on the frame benches. Poor Litta,
who was on the stage, nearly fainted, so I
hastened on the first chorus and rushed as
many people on the stage as we could. The
rest stood around on the floor. The cowboys
listened patiently until they could make
themselves heard, when the leader sang out:
"Say, Muncher, nin't there notliin' spec
tackier in this show?"
"I roplied very deferentially that we were
wedded to music, and that Tagliapiefra's
urana Italian upera company was not given
to tights. A look of great disgust spread
over the leader's face ns he said:
"'Thunder! Boys, let's mosey,' and,
drawing out his pistol, shot out the lamp
nearest without spilling a drop of oil. Each
man followed suit till the lights were all ex
tinguished; then gravely picked up their
lanterns and courteously-invited us all over
to take a drink. They stalked out as
gravely and silently as they came in."
COQUETTING WITH THE DEMS.
The People's Party and Ignatius Donnelly
Working a Sly Dodge.
Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 5. The State
Farmers' Alliance met in annual session
here to-day, with about 700 delegates in at
tendance, Ignatius Donnelly presiding. It
was reported that a plan existed to set on
foot the organization of a People's party to
which the Alliance will give its adhesion
along wifh the labor organizations. The
fact that the Executive Committee of the
North Star Democratic Club meets here to
morrow was pointed to as evidence that a
fusion will be attempted between the new
organization and the Democratic party.

Steel Skeleton Columns for Buildings.
In the construction of high buildings
steel columns are rapidly driving the cast
iron columns previously used out of the mar
ket It is found that careful inspection
throughout the process of manufacture will
insure the .Eatety ot a steel column,
whereas the most careful , inspec
tion cannot place the safety of the cast
iron column beyond question, as important
flaws in the metal may be covered by a per
fect surface. Moreover, steel columns are
more rigid and unyielding than cast iron
ones, which have a much low r limit ot
elasticity.

Florida's Exhibit nt tho Big Chicago
'Show if He Uvs.
Puntagorda, Fla., Jan. C. SKcfaZ.
Tourist sportsmen from the West, now
stopping nt the hotel here and engaged in
tarpon fishing, report that they have made
a strange discoverv upon one of the secluded
islands of Charlotte harbor, off the beaten
track of the steamers and fishing craft.
They found John Gomez, an intelligent
white man living therewith his wife in a
palmetto hut, and engaged in raising cocoa
nuts, oranges, bananas- and other tropical
fruits. The strange thing about him is that
he is 112 years old, a fact well established
by the records of De Soto county, and he
has been living here in this way for nearly
30 years. He nas cocoanut trees now bear
ing that he planted out himself on his 90th
birthday. He spends his time in agricult
ural pursuits, but occasionally hunts and
fishes. Mrs. Gomez is rather reticent about
her age, bnt looks to be all of 85 or 90 years
old.
These tourists had a talk with Gomez,
proposing to transplant him, palmetto hut,
cocoanut grove, banana trees and all, along
with his wife, to some warm corner of the
Florida building at the World's Fair, and
the old gentleman has consented to go
under certain conditions. Mr. John Cross,
prominent citizen of Arcadia, this county,
is interesting himself in this matter, and
