( 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. e regarded this as a begging of the eSIIOU unworthy of serious consid p 3,1 0 Me maintained that Great c i 1 ain . no jurisdiction for the Ulr ‘ fl it made upon the Boers and the , f rican republics. Mr. Teller J ‘. a tribute to the Boers as a i ! e ’ denominating them as a “kind '“.. r . ave > and Christian people.” We ought,” said Mr. Teller “to hav ■°, up empathy the Boers.

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 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. Putnam Fadeless Lyes do not stain the hands or spot the kettis Sold by all druggists.

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. He—Ah! my darling, so you will renlly marry ine?
