IT has been noticed that eggs through
out ( Jeorgia, being packed in the strong,
resinous pine sawdust of the region,
have, when eaten, a decided flavor of
turpentine, which, though unpleasant,
may not be unwholesome. It must bo
hard to tell whether such eggs are fresh
or not.
IN Washington county, Intl., a wom
an and her daughter each gave birth to
u baby on tho same day. They were
remarkably alike. Sumo friends in
comparing the youngsters got them
mixed. Now it is impossible to tell
which is the uncle and which is the
nephew.
THE monument to be erected at Wash
ington's birthplace, Wakefield, Va.,
will be visible from the decks of ves
sels on the Potomac, and will be almost
a duplicate of tho obelisk over Mary
"Washington's grave in Fredericksburg.
The shaft will bo of light granite, iifty
>no f*ct high, and there will be a simple
inscription on the base.
UNUSUALLY cold weather throughout
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi drove
the robins that winter in all parts of
those states considerably further south
than usual. Many wintered in Florida,
where idle northern visitors and the
native crackers slaughtered them in
large numbers. Robins wintering in
tho south always suffer greatly at the
hands of gunners. The birds go in
considerable flocks, are fat and do not
sing, so that there is neither sentiment
nor any practical consideration to pro
tect them.
SOMETHING new in the temperanct
crusade in Lynn, Mass., is to be tried
by some of those who are luboring to
save people from the drink evil in that
city. It is nothing more nor less than
the presentation of "Living Pictures of
Lynn Life." At a recent meeting of the
organization interested in this move
ment the names, addreseesand a sketch
of each person convicted of intoxica
tion during the week in the local police
court were given. And this practice,
it was announced, would bo made a
special feature of the meetings in the
future.
YEARS ago the Indian territory was
the Gretna Green of lovesick beaux and
belles of the bordering states, and it is
said that Sobe Love, an educated quar
ter-blood who lives at Oil Springs,
united five hundred couples of Texans
in the bonds of matrimony according to
the law at that time prevailing in that
country. But thhigs are different now,
and white residents of the Indian coun
try usually come into Oklahoma to have
the binding words spoken, and even a
blanket Indian must apply to a probate
judge for license to marry the dusky
maiden whom he has selected as his
Ufe partner and wood chopper.
THE Washington Post thinks there is
110 limit to what the end-of-the-century
girl can do when she tries. In proof it
reports that at the cotillion danced over
in Georgetown the other night one of
the belles was a clover girl from Penn
sylvania. She wore a dainty white or
gandie frock over white satin and she
was tremendously chic. Yet her gown
at nine o'clock in the morning was ly
ing uncut on the shelves of a fashiona
ble shop. She bought it, took it home,
called in two girl friends, and by din
ner time the gown was actually done
and ready to wear. If any young man
in search of a wife wants a paragon
hero she is.

(Special Correspondence.)
HARRISBURG, May 20.—There is noth
ing left for tho lawmakers to do but work
if they expect to got away by Juno 6. The
house euleudur is crowded with bills,
many of which will bo dropped to save
time and husten the final adjournment.
The senate continues to move along in
that leisurely manner which has charac
terized its proceedings all through tho ses
sion. The calendar is clear of senate bills
and crowded with houso measures 011 final
passage. Tho latter number about 200,
and will have to bo disposed of beforo tho
representatives will ngroo to adjourn.
The greatest interest centres in tho houso
proceedings. Asldo from the affair of
to-night, when membors will be brought
up for contempt, there will be much busi
ness of general importance to transact.
To-morrow will bo the busiest day, the
lirst order being the consideration, on
third reading, of the congressional, legis
lative and senatorial apportionment bills.
Judging from tho unanimity with which
these measures passed second reading they
will pass tho final stage by a comfortablo
majority. The representatives from coun
ties which lose in representation by the
apportionment will oppose the measure.
They are, however, in tho minority, and
their only hope is in tho sonuto or a con
ference committee.
The apportionment bills out of tho way,
the house will turn its attontion to tho
Smith school bill, which distributes tho
appropriation by scattering one third ac
cording to the number of teachers actually
employed for a full term and tho balance
on the basis of the number of taxnblcs.
Mr. Smith lias served notico that he will
call the bill up tomorrow morning. The
opposition to his proposition is too strong
to overcome, and for this reason the mem
ber from Bedford will try to chango the
bill to meet all objections. This will not
be an easy task. What suits tho rural
members does nut satisfy tho "city chaps,"
and vice versa.
Should there bo a full house on Wed
nesday, when tho order of business will be
senate Hills on third reading, tho Quay
county bill will bo called up for final pas
sage. Tho boomers of the now county
have more than enough pledges to assure
the passage of tho bill. Their only trouble
has been to get its frionds here at one
time.
There will ho trouble If tho supporters
of tho elections committee in the session
of 1893 endeavor to secure a reconsidera
tion of the bills making extravagant ap
propriations to pay the expenses of the
members and officers of the committee in
the investigation of tho election contests
decided by the last house. There are tbroo
of these bills, and all of them have been
defeated.
The bill creating an appellato court will
also be called during the week by Repre
sentative Kunkul. This measure has gone
through tho senate and is on the house
calendar among the postponed bills for
third reading. Mr. Kunkel believes heoan
pass It with a full houso, notwithstanding 1
tho florco opposition of tho rural mom- I
hers.
The appropriation bills are being gotten i
out of tho way as fast as they come from
committee. About forty have passed
finally, and there are seventy on tho calen
dar for second reading. Those will all bo
disposed of this week, so that tho gonoral
appropriation bill may have a clear track.
Chairman Marshall Is working on tho bill
and hopes to havo it in shape to bring out
this week. He stayed over in tho city .Sat
urday and Sunday to work on tho bill.
Tho various departments of state have
submitted their Items for tho noxt two
years. Mr. Marshall is not waiting onthe
chief clerks of the senate and houso to get
their figures In shapo.
Tho bill will bo reported with tho school
appropriation reduced to SIO,OOO,<XH). This
is absolutely necessary if tho state chari
ties are to be given a show. Chairman
Marshall has figured very closely, and
sees no way out of tho difficulty but to re
dueo the school appropriation. Tho Insti
tutions dependent ontirely upon tho state
will roquiro $3,695,593. This includes the
Indigent insane, National Guard, peniten
tiaries am \ stato hospitals. Tho institu
tion for tho blind,deaf and dumb and foeble
minded must have $847,434.50, and the pri
vate institutions dependent partly upon
the rftato require $704,609 to keep them go
ing tho next two years. Hills making
those appropriations havo boon reported
out of committee, and many havo passed
finally.
The Kergeant-at-arms of tho houso and
his assistants on Friday night last wero
traveling all over tho stato with warrants
for the arrest of seventy-four membors,
who must be brought before the bar of tho
houso this evening and purgo themselves
of contempt.
Tho whole trouble arose ovor the ten
dency of tho members to go homo on
Thursday evenings and neglect the Friday
session, without first obtaining tho neces
sary leave of absence from the house. With
the near approach of tho end of the session
work must bo pushed, and a sharp lesson
was needed to make the members attend
to their duties. It was the first time sinco
the session of 1889 that the speaker was
compelled to sond tho sergeant-at-arms
after absent members; but oven then it
was not found necessary to Issue a war
rant for the absentees, as enough members
wero found in Harrisburg to make up tho
quorum. On Friday, however, the full
powers of tho house woro exhausted with
out securing a quorum, and tho speaker
was compelled to adjourn the house and
Issue his warrant for all those who wero
absent without leave.
When tho speaker rapped tho house to
order thcro were not more than about
sevonty-flvo members In their Boats, and
the session was not fifteen minutes old
i when a call was narrowly avorted. Rep
resentative Martin offered a resolution
fixing A special order for the Fritz bill to
change the method of apportioning tho
Htato appropriation umong tho various
school districts. By the chango Philadel
phia would lose nearly SIOO,OOO, and Rep
resentative Stewart promptly gavo notico
i that he would demand the yeas and nays.
As thero was clearly not a quorum in tho
house at the time, Mr. Martin finally con
sented to withdraw his resolution. The
members hod, howovor, not completed
their sigh of relief when Representative
Riter caused renewed apprehension by
giving notice that ho would demand the
jreas and nays on (lie bill imposing a tax
en beer, and there was an immediate scur
rying around to look after absentees.
So successful were they in this that
when, a short time later, Representative
Cochrane called for the yeas and nays on
the bill imposing a tax of I mills 011 the
value of bank stock, 117 members, 11 more
than a quorum, answered to their numes.
When tho vote was taken 011 the beer bill
a bare quorum voted, and then, supposing
all danger at an end, a number of mem
bers left to take tho 11.10 train to Phila
delphia.
The train had hardly left, however, when
senate bills on second reading were reached
and Representative Peltz moved to take
up from the postponed list tho Grady anti
pool selling bill. On this motion tho yoas
and nays were again demanded, and tho
vote showed 77 in favor and 18 against, a
total of 05, or eight less than a quorum.
Then the trouble began. Speaker Wal
ton ordered all strangers out of the house
and tho doors wore loekod. Tho roll was
then called and showed ninety-live 1110111-
bors present. Sorgoant-at-Arms Shoouer
was called to tho bar of tho house and in
structed to go out and arrest all the mem
bers he could llnd and bring thorn before
the house.
Tho lirst member brought in was Rep
resentative Patchin, of Cloarllold, but us
he explained that he had just stopped out
for a moment as the doors wore closed, ho
was oxcused. Subsequently, when it was
shown that Patchin hud boon present and
voted on tho main question, he was noti
fied that he had not been in contempt.
J. Ross Raymond, of Erie, was tho noxt
ono brought in, but lie explained that hav
ing boon suddenly called to Philadelphia
Thursday uiglit, ho had missed tho morn
ing train and had just arrivod, and was
also oxcusod.
Representatives Woodring of North
ampton, Tilbrook of Allegheny and West
of Berks wore brought in in the order
named, but as they had good reasons they
wero excused.
There were still only 100 members pres
ent, and after waiting for over an hour tho
sorgoant-at-arms explained that he had
soarched all the depots and hotels, but had
been unable to find any more membors.
Of tho 104 who wero still absent the rocord
allowed that twenty-nine had been granted
leave of absence. For the others Speaker
Walton made out a warrant of arrest,
which he gavo to tho sorgoant-at-arms,
and then adjourned the house until Mon
day oveniug.
Tho members in contempt of tho house
are: Messrs. Ames, Auderson, Andrews,
Clark T. Baldwin, Biddie, Bolurd, Bolles,
Comly, Cruise, Dumbly, Do Volln, Dixon,
Douthot, Eby, Ellis, Furr, Fredericks,

Tim affair lias created considerable ox
oltomont among the membors who re
mained, and there is talk of inflicting
eomo severe penalties as examples. Tho
houso has absolute power in the matter
and can inflict heavy lines or oven oxpel a
member. AH tho arrest of the seventy-four
membors will Inflict a heavy expouso on
tho state in tho way of the sorgeaut-at
arms' foes and mileage, there Is some talk
of compelling tho absent members to foot
tho bill in the way of fines. W. M. R.

BANKRUPTCY IS FEARED
Newfoundland Situation Is
Very Grave.
The Moat Severe l-'orm ol Hot reach
ment Will Only Pay the Wuy in the
Future—No Hope for the Present
Debts—KfTorts To Kaiae Money in
Montreal Full.
St. John's, N. F., May 19.—Confedera
tion, or rather the refusal of Newfound
land to enter the dominion of Canada
on the terms proposed, is the sole topic
of conversation hero. Everybody is
pleased that no attempt was made to
urge the acceptance of the terms upon
the house or people. The government
appears to be frightened in the face of
the severe retrenchment that is neces
sary to preserve the equilibrium of re
ceipts and expenditures, and has post
poned the introduction in the house of
its retrenchment proposals until Tuesday
next. These retrenchments will include
the curtailment of every branch of the
public service.
Furthermore, it Is questionable if re
trenchment, however severe, will be ca
pable of arresting the colony's progress
towards bankruptcy. There is nearly
$3,000,0000f floating debt, deficits, loans
due banks, interest, etc., requiring some
form of settlement by June 80. The
question of how to grapie with this con
dition of things is agitating 4he govern
ment.
Retrenchment will only provide the
means of paying the colony's way in the
future; nothing is arranged to provide
for the payment of present debts. These
now amount to $10,500,000, and obliga
tions have been incurred requiriug an
other $5,000,000. The business people,
those possessing money or property, are
-unanimous in desiring that Newfound
land be made a crown colony, which
would take her out of the hauds of the
local politiciaus, and give her a clean,
economical administration by British
experts.
Montreal, May 18.—lion. Robert Bond,
of Newfoundland, who is here negoti
ating with capitalists for the loan of $2,-
000,000 has given it up as a bad Job, and
will leave to-day for Boston and Now
York, where he will endeavor to borrow
that amount.

turns, and records in your office or
hands of deputies relating to income
tax."

SENATOR HILL ELATED.
liv Receipt of Many Congratulatory
Telegrams.
Albany, May 21.—United States Sena
tor David B. Hill was much pleased
when he learned that the United States
supreme court had declared the income
tax law unconstitutional. The senator
has received many congratulatory tele
grams from all sections of the country,
some of them rocalling the fact that ho
was the only democratic senator who re
fused to vote for the tariff bill on ac
count of the incorporation of the in
come tax feature in the measure. John
Boyd Thacher, who was among the sena
tor's callers last evening, recalled the
senator's closing words of his speech op
posing the income tax, when ho said:
"Sink or swim, live or die, survive or
perish, I cannot and will not vote for the
measure in its present shape."
Rest Decision in This Decade.
In speaking of the decision Senator
11 11 said: "1 never believed the Income
tax provision to be constitutional and
hence sincerely regretted its unwise and
foolish insertion in a tariff' reform bill.
The decision that it is unconstitutional
will afford relief everywhere and tend to
increase business prosperity which is
slowly but surely reviving. Undoubtedly
In some sections of tho country there
will arise a demand for an amendment
of the constitution so as to enable un
income tax law to bo passed, but it will
be unavailing, spasmodic, and silly. The
battle has been fought and won; no
direct taxes will ever hereafter be im
posed by the federal government, but
such taxes will be reserved to tho scverul
states. The supreme court of the United
States is entitled to the thanks of the
country for its decision. The decision
will do more for our country, will be
of more lastiifg benefit to our free in
stitutions, will clear tho political atmos
phere better than anything that lias oc
curred in this decade."
Gen. Harrison's Views.
New York, May 21.—1n an interview
on the income tax decision to-day ex-
President Harrison said: "I have no
special comment to make, but I believe
It ia better tliut the law should be de
clared unconstitutional rather than that
it should be left in the tangled shape in
which it was placed by the previous decis
ion. That decision sandbagged people
into paying their money. It levied a tax
on merchants and mercantile interests
while it let the bond clipper and reut
taker go free."
ORDERED THEM OUT.

MOTIONLESS FOR DAYS.
Romarkablo Sagacity of Deacon
Deeter's Setter Dog.
Ills No* for Woodcock Has Probably
Never Iteen .Surpassed -Trap llus
the Keenest Nose Ever
Been on a Dog.
"Speaking of bird dogs," said Deacon
Doctor to a Philadelphia Times man,
"I think my setter dog Trap has tho
keenest nose I ever saw on a dog."
"Guess you never noticed my hound
Towser, did you, deacon? Ile'll follow
a deer or bear as long as they keep on
the ground. Not many dogs have a
better nose than he has, according to
my way of thinking," remarked A1 Pet
terbaugh.
"My dog Trap don't take to bear and
deer. Birds are his game, and any
time he don't smell a game bird it ain't
there, that's all," replied the deacon.
"To show you what kind of a nose
that dog has," continued tho deacon,
"I'll tell you what he did on Cider Run
last spring when I was trout fishing.
Pete Kitclier and I went to Cider Run,
in Wyoming county, last spring to
spend a week fishing. We went into
camp near a spring on tho bank of tho
stream, where there was a doep eddy
with overhanging bank. It was dur
ing the latter part of May and tho
weather was fine. As Trap seemed
anxious to go along I took him, know
ing that he would be better off there
than running around at home, and I
am glad now that I took him, for he
developed points on that trip that made
me proud to be his owner.
"On the morning following our ar
rival we got up early, and while Pete
was preparing breakfast I stepped
down to the stream to wash, the dog
following inc. When we arrived at the
bank I was surprised to see the dog
straighten out on a point just as he
would when pointing a game bird, and
look down at the water at something
apparently quite near the bank. I
stepped up behind him and looked, and
then to his side and then in front of
him, but could discover nothing to war
rant his making game so strangely. I
tried to call him off point, but he re
mained stanch. I thought the fool dog
must be crazy, so I took hold of his col
lar and pulled him away and into camp.
While wo were at breakfast I missed
MOTIONLESS FOR DAYS.
the dog and whistled, but ho didn't
oomo. After wo had finished I walked
to the run, and there stood Trap as
stanch as a rock, with one foot raised,
tail horizontal and his eyes nearly
bulging out of his head staring at the
water again.
"Again I looked closely, but could
see nothing unusual. I left him there
while I got my fishing outfit ready, and
returning found him still stunding
there. I called him off again and
started up-stream, but hadn't gone
more than a mile before I missed the
dog. When I returned in the evening
I found Trap on point at the old spot.
So he kept on for four or five days,
scarcely leaving his point long enough
to eat or sleep, llis actions worried
me, for I feared some disease had
overtaken and would ruin him.
On the fifth day, I think it was,
Pete suggested that we find out
what the dog was standing on. So
we both looked closely into tAie water
and on the bank, and finally I leaned
over and looked back under the bank,
and there, much to my surprise, I saw
a large trout lying quietly near the
bottom, slowly fanning the water with
his fins. I called Pete to take a look at
him, for ho was a whopper. We tried
everything to try and make him bite,
but he wouldn't do it. So Pete started
for the tent and made a wire snare,
with which, after several trials, ho
finally landed him.
"When the old fellow landed on the
bank tho dog backed off and came to a
point, and all tho while we were ad
miring and measuring the trout the
dog took the keenest interest and kept
his point. That trout was a whopper,
indeed, measuring just
Pete cleaned him and threw the en
trails into the brush. Trap followed
them and again came to a beautiful
point. 'What in 'tarnal ails that dog?'
I asked Pete. 'I don't know,' said
Pete, 'but I'm going to find out if I
can.' So Into the brush he went and
brought out tho entrails and cut them
open, the dog watching him all tho
while. What do you think that trout
had inside of him? You'd never guess,
so I'll tell you. It was a young wood
cock, about half grown. Talk about
dogs' noses. Trap had been standing
that woodcock for five days."
Sample of Maine Gallantry.
This incident illustrates tho sort of
gallantry that is most prevalent in this
degenerate age: Asa Knox county (Me.)
man and his wife were passing tho
schoolhouse a flying snowball hit the
wife of his bosom in the neck. lie was
enraged and justly, and, turning to the
schoolboys, shaking his fist in anger he
cried: "It's lucky for you, you rascals,
that you didn't hit me!"

ornament. Tho experiment cost her
three fingers from one hand and bad
injuries to thQ other.
