A SUCCESSFUL PRESIDING OFFICER.
The wife of the Vi e President made
quite a success as presiding officer. She
ajioke of the year just past as pre-emi
nently a woman's year, as shown in part
by the prominent share taken in the
world s fair by women. Mrs. Stevenson
said that after all it was woman's high
est hope to till with credit and honor her
place at the fireside. She expressed the
hope that the time would never <omc
when society should be marked
by the absence of "home women,"
for Just as the Sons of the
American Revolution made the best
fathers, husbands, sons and brothers, so
alie hoped the daughters would ever shine
in their home sphere.
Dr. Toner, one of Washington's vener
able and honored citizens, repeated a cus
torn he has followed for many years of
entertaining the Washington Monument
Society. Vice President Stevenson and
other distinguished guests were present.
The evening proceedings of ttie 1 laughters
of the American Revolution, in connec
tion with the unveiling of a portrait of
the late Mrs. Harrrison, wife of the ex-
President, were very interest ing.

PATRIOTISM AMONG THE GIRLS.
Milledgeville, Ga., Feb. 22.—Through
out the United States to-day a loving peo
pie with loving hearts honor the memory
of the great and noble founder of out
country. George Washington. But no
truer, more loving tribute was paid, or
will ever he paid to the memory of that
noble man than that offered bv the young
ladies of Georgia’s pet institution, the
Normal and Industrial College for girls in
this city. All the students in the cylleeo
took part in these exercises, from the
moddel school to the senior class. Short
essays were read by about eighteen young
laities, each taking a different period of
his life, all of which were well rendered.
The college has on its roll over 3UO of
Georgia’s worthiest girls, at whose head
stands that rioted Georgia educator, l’rof.
S. Harris Chappell, whose worth is so
well known throughout the state.
A TURKISH RECEPTION.
New York, Feb. 22. Washington's
birthday was made the occasion of a
double celebration by the subjects in New
York of his imperial ma esty. the Sultan
of Turkey, for it was also the birthday
of their sovereign. In the evening they
held a reception in the office of the Arabic
paper published here, the first of its
kind ever held in tnis country,
and there were present represent
atives of most all the oriental countries,
many of whom had come to this country
to attend the world's fair, and many of
wliom are residents. Nearly all the
tongues of Europe were heard there, and
the large gathering was completed by
Americans, of wliom many bad been in
Turkey. The reception was distill -tly
oriental in character. Many of theguosts
wore Turkish costumes aud appeared in
holiday attire.
THE PAY AT OCALA.
Ocala, Fla.. Feb. 22.—The only evi
dence of this being Washington’s birth
da.y in Ocala was the closing of the banks,
posioffice ami exercises at public schools
appropriate to the occasion. This after
noon a large crowd witnessed an exciting
game of base ball between Lake Wetl
and Ocala. The latter won by one run in
a score of Hto 0. J. W. Sylvester um
pired the game.
M’KANE AFTER BAIL.
Judge Fursman of Troy to Grant it if
Judge Bartlett Refuses.
New York, Feb. 22.—A special from
Albany to the Brooklyn Citizen says
Justice Newton of Gravesend, the friend
and lieutenant of John Y. McKane, is in
Albany for the purpose of securing the
latter's admission to bail pending an ap
peal from the sentence of Judge Bartlett.
The dispatch concludes as follows: “It is
understood that Judge Newton's mission
has been eminently successful and
that should Judge Cullen on Friday deny
the application for a certificate of reason
able doubt. Judge Fursman of Troy,
stands prepared to grant such acer id
eate. It does not appear that Judge
Newton called personally U|<on Judge
Fursman. Avery influential democrat,
who is on intimate terms with Senator
Murphy of Troy, is mentioned as having
acted as the medium.
THE JUDGE VERY CAUTIOUS.
“It is said that Judge Fursman, while
maintaining a judicial reserve, said
enough to convince the gentleman who
called upon him that it would do no harm
for McKane to apply to him for a certifi
cate of reasonable doubt, in ease Judge
Culleu denies to-morrow the application
which is to be made before him. It is
believed here that at least one other
judge of the supreme court
besides Judge Fursman is pre
pared to give a certificate
of reasonable doubt should Judge Culleu
fail to do so. This is Judge Herrick, of
Albunv, the leader of the Cleveland
democracy of Albany county. The appli
cation to Judge Fursman. should it be
necessary to make it, will be made on the
ground that tin* jury which convicted
McKane was uuduly inllueneed by public
clamor, and by articles in newspapers
hostile to the Gravesend chief "

RULES OF THE HOUSE.
A Caucus to Discuss a Change to Do
Away With Filibustering.
Washington. Feb. 22.—Some of the
democratic members of the House who
think that measures must be taken to
prevent repetitions of the deadlock in
which the House finds itself on the Bland
seigniorage bill, frame 1 a petition for a
caucus this afternoon. The paper is
broadly worded, stating that the call is
for the purpose of considering the pro
priety of changing the rules of the House
with reference to the course that should
be pursued by the House when members
fail to vote, and that the caucus shall be
held as soon as the pending bill is dis
posed of.
Representative Paynter. of Kentucky
circulated the paper and obtained 100
names, some of the opjionents of the
Bland bill signing as well as its support
ers The impossibility of attempting to
change the rules while the Bland hill has
the right of way, so that a vote on that
measure could bo forced, was recog
nized, but when the bill is out of the way,
having been passed, defeated or given up,
the democrats intend to devise, if i>ossi
ble, some method of transacting busi
ness.
COMMITTED TO NO POLICY.
Those who signed the paper did not
•commit themselves to any stand for or
against a proposition to change the rules,
but merely signified their desire to discuss
the question, although as a matter of
fact, the signers are understood to desire
a change.
Representative Paynter has drawn the
form of a rule which he will propose, for
recording members, as present but not
voting. Mr. Pavnter's proposed rule is
somewhat similar to that presented to the
House by Representative Dearmond. of
Missouri, but omits the fine which Mr.
Dearmond would inflict for a refusal to
vote. It provides that recalcitrants, snail
be noted as present, and be counted by
the speaker for the purpose of making a
quorum.
BLAND APT TO BE BEATEN.
A Sentiment Growing in Favor of
Abandoning tho Measure.
Washington, Feb. 22.—There were indi
cations this afternoon that Mr. Bland
had carried his seigniorage bill about as
far as it is possible to do under existing
conditions. A member of the committee
on rules is authority for the statement,
that notwithstanding the de laration of
the caucus on Monday afternoon, a senti
ment is growing or. the democratic
side of the He use in favor of
abandoning the measure. He said that
when Mr. Bland makes his motion to
morrow to go into committee of the whole
to consider the bill he will be antagonized
by a motion to take up one of tho appro
priation bills, and intimated that when
this was done the latter motion would
be adopted, aud the seigniorage bill
shelved.
BLAND’S CHANGE OF FRONT.
The- change to-day in Mr. Bland’s
motion for terminating the general debate
on the seigniorage bill, extending the
time for discussion until 3 o'clock Satur
day afternoon, occasioned considerable
surprise. Heretofore tho motion had
been to conclude the debate in ten
minutes or half an hour. In explanation
of this change Mr. Bland said: "T moved
to close the debate on Saturday
next at 3 o’clock because a number of
western representatives said that they
would sujirort the bill and will vote to
make a quorum if further time for debate
was given, and it was demonstrated that
the democrats from New York and other
followers were determined that the bill
should be considered.
CRISP HAS A COLD.
He Retires Early and Hopes to Be at
the Capitol To-day.
Washington, Feb. 22.—After the formal
opening of the House to day. Speaker
Crisp, who was suffering from a slight in
disposition, callod Mr. Dockery, dein., of
Missouri, to the chair and remained in his
room until the adjournment. Upon r< ach
ing his apartments at the Metropolitan
hotel Mr. Crisp retired, hoping to bo
benefited by rest and quiet. To night it
is said that the speaker is suffering from
a cold and expects to he at the c-apitol to
morrow.

AN OUTRAGEOUS ARREST.
A Man Without Authority Charges
Two Men With Murder.
Amerieus. Ga., Feb. 22.—This afternoon
a man, claiming to be W. H. Hunter, of
Buena Vista, brought to this city two
young men handcuffed together. Hunter
claimed that the two men were tho Hogg
brothers, wanted in Marion county for
the killing of Dave Shippcy a year
ago. Hunter wanted to ' put " his
prisoners in Jail until the train
leaves tor Buena v ista in the morning.
This, Sheriff Forest refusod to do, as
Hunter had no warrant, but simply a
copy of a true hill against the Hogg
brothors. Tho young men were out
spoken in their indignation. Among the
large number who gathered about the
jail yard were several prominent gentle
men from Marion county who
unhesitatingly pro nounced the prison
ers not the Hogg brothers.
P. S. Holt and others identified
the men as .Tames Burdick and J. 11.
Birch, Jr , o ' Macon.
They were finally released, and
had Hunter arrested for carrying con
cealed weapons. Chief Lamar, who
made the arrest, found two pistols on his
person. Hunter plead guilty and
paid his fine of sls. Burdick and Birch
scm to be gentlemen. They stated
that this morning they were passing along
the road, about ten miles from Amerieus.
when two men suddenly came up. Hunter
drew two pistols from his pockets and
ordered them to submit to arrest upon
the charge of murder. After they
were handcuffed, he treated them as
felous, refusing to listen to their claim
that they could easily prove their
identity. Hunter is a foreigner and
speaks bad English. In making ihearrest
he claimed to be Bill Jones. The two
young men are still in the city, and have
the sympathy of all for the gross indig
nity they have been forced to submit to.

ano Rivera, who discovered the famous
“jicama" root, for the cure of typhus, and
has been distributing it gratuitously to
the poor, lias made the further discovery
that the same root will cure small
pox. The discovery was made accident
ally, the preparation having been
given to a patient who, from the symptoms
at the earlier state of the disease, it was
supposed iiad typhus, but it proved to be
small pox. The root worked like a
charm, however, in rapidly curing the
man. Gen. Rivera believes now that it
will cure yellow lever and has sent a
package of it to Vera Cruz for trial there
by the physicians at the next appearance
of the epidemic.

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
i ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world’s best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a jierfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts ot. the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
