( SYMPATHY
I FOR THE BOERS
Henderson Refuses to
I Entertain Such a Motion.
Ifeller pleads IN SENATE
| Co!ora do nan Pays Glowing Trib-
I ute to Struggling Transvaal
§ ers For Their Rights.
I Monday was suspension day in the
Iboase and quite a number of bills
I were passed. The most important was
I t jje senate bill to amend the general
1 pension laws so as to provide for ag-
I grcgating disabilities under the act of
1 1890, without regard to service origin,
I gnd to increase the net income a widow
I E av be possessed of without destroy-
I jnp her right to a pension from $96
to $250.
The purpose of the bill is to modify
rl ,i>Vg of the pension office in accor
dance with the recommendations of
,he Grand Army of the Republic.
General Dan Sickles, who is a member
0 f the Grand Army of the Republic
committee, was on the floor during the
consideration of the bill. Many mem
bers made speeches on the measure
and it was passed without a dissenting
vote. The bill to increase the appro
priation for the national guard
from $400,000 to $1,000,000 was also
I among those passed.
Mr. Sulzer of New York attempted
I to secure action upon his resolution
I expressing sympathy with the South
I African republics, but was cut off by
I the speaker.
Mr. Sulzer first sought recognition
before the journal had been approved,
and the speaker ruled him out of or
der.
A moment later after the journal
bad been approved Mr. Sulzer again
demanded recognition.
‘‘For what purpose does the gentle
man rise?” inquired the speaker.
‘‘This being suspension day,” re
plied Mr. Sulzer, ‘‘l rise for the pur
pose of moving to suspend the rules
and adopt a resolution expressing
sympathy with the patriotic Boers who
are fighting for liberty in South Afri
ca.” (Applause in the galleries.)
“The chair declines to recognize the
gentleman for that purpose,” replied
the speaker.
“Is it because the chair is opposed
to the resolution?” asked Mr. Sulzer.
“The gentleman is out of order.”
“A parliamentary inquiry!” shouted
Mr. Sulzer.
“The gentleman will state his
point.”
“I desire to know whether a mem
ber of this house has not the right to
make a motion in accordance with the
rules of this house?”
() bhe chair,” replied the speaker,
must perform its duty in making rec
ognition to suspend the rules. The
gentleman is out of order and will
take his seat.”
Thereupon Mr. Sulzer subsided.
IN THE SENATE.
At Monday’s session of the senate
Mr. teller, of Colorado, delivered a
speech in which he strongly urged the
senate to extend its sympathy to the
beers iu their contest with Great
Britain. He devoted himself to a dis
mission cf his resolution, the adoption
of which, he maintained, could not be
considered by the British government
as aa unfriendly act.
-Im Teller called attention to the
{ that his resolution was a para
-- rase of the Cuban plank of the Ro
ru mean national platform in 1896.
e ; oun and a precedent for it in the
solution offered in the house of rep
i!'7^ ve * b y Mr. Clay, of Kentucky,
in the interest of the South
tuenean republics and in many sub
‘l 1 i.t resolutions of a similar char-
I< ! waR argued that the
l r °' ls Were not struggling for liberty,
*1 p e . r ® fi inaply in rebellion against
e uitish empire, which claimed do
minioii over them.

Diving for Real Pearli.
When it comes to hunting for the real
pearl there is not any kina of n scoop
or dredger that can take the place of
men’s eyes; diving and treading the
deep is the only way to find valuable
Pearls, scattered over the rocky bed of
the ocean. Sometimes a man will pick
up quite a fortune in a few weeks and
sometimes he will hardly make ex
penses in a season.
There is a great fascination in the
business and few pearl divers ever give
it lip. They become so accustomed to
walking around in submarine places
that they enjoy the coral landscapes,
the sea fans, the conches, quaint grass
es and strange blossoms that abound
In the silent gardens of the sea. But in
spite of the pleasures and profits of
their business there has been little im
provement in the methods of diving
since the earliest days. Safety appli
ances have done but little to reduce the
risk to human life.
{flushing Bonnets.
A New York millinery house has had
on inquiry for “blushing bonnets.’’ In
asmuch as it was the first inquiry of
the kind, and as they did not know
what under the blue canopy a “blush
ing bonnet” was, they instituted a
careful search to find out. 'lke result
Is interesting, even from a sordid com
mercial standpoint. The “blushing
bonnet” is known in Loudon, and it
may have had its origin there, though
a London authority thinks the credit
ought to go to Paris. It is any kind of
a bonnet with a little spring and metal
clasp hidden behind flowers, and when
the bead of the fair wearer of the bon
net is bent forward with that down
cast movement so becoming to modest
inaids and matrons, the clasp presses
on the temples and compels a blush.

A Gentle Hint.
“When I get to be a man,” said the
boy who has a good memory for
phrases, “I’m going to strive to culti
vate an unselfish nature.”
“That's right,” replied the father.
“How are you going to go about It?”
“Well, in the first place, if I have
any little boys I'll let them shoot their
own fireworks instead of telling them
they must let me do it for fear they
will hurt tliemseltes.”

Provisions Now and Then.
A laboring man with his United
States rate of wages and the British
price of provisions a few hundred
years ago would be able to live like a
fighting cock. In the time of Henry
I. wheat for food for 100 men for one
day was worth only 25 cents, while
the cost of a. sheep was 8 cents. Two
pullets were worth 3 cents; a part
ridge, or two woodcocks, cost 3 cents;
a fat lamb, 12 cents from Christmas
to Shrovetide, and the rest of the year,
8 cents. Parliament fixed the price
of provisions in 1313 as follows: sl2
for a fat ox; if fed 1 with corn, $17,50;
a shorn sheep, $1.25; two dozen eggs,
6 cents. Later on milk sold at three
pints for a cent. Beef and pork were
worth a cent a pound.

Every spring you clean the house you
tore to, to get rid of the dust and dirt which
collected in the winter. Your body, the
house your soul lives in, also becomes filled
up during the winter with all manner of
• filth, which should have been removed from
i JhL. day to day, but was not. Your body needs
i cleaning inside. If your bowels, your liver,
your kidneys are full of putrid filth, and
: '0 you don’t clean them out in the spring,
you’ll be in bad odor with yourself and

Eccentric Colonel Ege.
Colonel Ege was a famous character
in the early days. Although living In
Doniphan County he was often in At
chison, followed by a pack of hounds,
lie was a high toned Southern gentle
man with a kind heart, and one day
returning home from this city he came
across a man whose wagon was stuck
in the mud In Independence Creek
bottom. Colonel Ege at once started in
to help the man pry out his wagon
with fence rails. While both were
working away, Ege became angry, and
yelled to the man: “Lift, you sou of a
gun; you are not lifting a pound.” The
man picked up the endgnte of the wng
oou, aud split it over Ege’s head, iay
iug him up for three weeks. Ege had
his hat off when struck, aud was so
bald before coming to Kansas that he
was known as the Bald Eagle of Mary
land. Ege always carried a pistol, and
was always trying to shoot through
somebody’s hat without hitting him.
One day, at the Independence Creek
ferry, he shot at a man, but aimed
a little low, aud creased him. But Ege
was always a gentleman; he took the
man to his home, and tenderly cared
for him uutil he recovered.
A Centle Hint.
