FINAL WINDUP OF CONGRESS Feat ures of Closing Hours of the Fifty-Ninth Session. A MOST DECOROUS ENDING The Usual Songs, Jests, Stories and Farewells Were in Order But Were Not Overworked. With anew record for large appro priations and far reaching legislation, the fifty-ninth congress was brought to a close shortly after noon Monday. The last few hours were calm, in fact tame, by comparison with what had been expected. Long before noon, Senator Gallinger’s light for the pass age of the ship subsidy bill had been abandoned and the filibuster against It conducted by Senator Carmack be ing no longer necessary, he surrender ed the floor, much to the disappoint ment of the galleries, Before with drawing the bill, Senator Gallinger expressed the belief that with the support of the Democratic members winch lie had been assured of, he 1 would get action on a measure prac tically along the lines of the present bill at the next session of congress. Extreme fatigue, due to continued night sessions iu the house during the last week, had a dampening ef feet upon many representatives and the usual excessive "last day enthu siasm" was confined to less than half the membership. One of the interesting features in cident to the close of the congress was the visit oi President Roosevelt, who, with his cabinet, White house staff and a number of guests occu pied the presid ill's room in the sen ate wing. Seated at a big table in the center of the room, he signed the bills as they were unrolled and pre aented to him. On account of the dis patch which business,has been con tinued during the past week there were only forty bills to be signed ttp. Ho devoted most of the time In visiting with his cabinet, both the retiring and incoming nu mbers being present, and in presenting them to personal friends of the senate ana Mouse. When the members of the commit tee which waited on him with the information that congress was ready to adjourn had delivered their mes sage, the president, thanked them for the laws that had been enacted, but he added with a smile that he still had several bills that would be heard from in the future. This amounted to good natured, but direct notice to eongresa that he had not abandoned the several recommendations for legislation which had not met with congressional favor this session. Vico President Fairbanks and Speaker Cannon received the thanks of the minority for the impartial man ner in which they had presided over the deliberations of the two houses and both of these officers made speeches expressing gratitude at the words of appreciation. A feature of the house session was the presenta tion of a club silver service of three huudred pieces to General Grosvenor by bis colleagues of the fifty-ninth congress. Speeches of regret at the veteran Ohioan’s retirement were made from both sides of the chamber. In addition to the songs and stories that usually mark the close of the session there was a beautiful picture formed by the entire house rising and waving flags and singing My Country. ’Tis of Thee” as the gava fell at 12:15 p. m. lu the senate the last of the pro ceedings was the speech by Vice President Fairbanks, prim to ad journment at 12: IS p. in. His re marks were applauded by the thous ands of visitors and the applause con tinued as the audience \\ atoned with interest the farewells of iht- senators on the floor.

The execution was private. Bullard stuck to liis last statement that the shooting was accidental, and done in a fit of coughing. He called reporters to him while standing on the gallows, and said he wanted the people to know that he told the truth, and that he had made his peace with his God. , The trap was sprung by Sheriff Frey at 11:15 a. in., and 11 minutes afterwards Bullard was declared dead. it was on Monday morning, Sep tember 24th, at early breakfast, his daughter, liuby, was murdered. She was out the night before attending religious sei vices, and came home iu company with friends, and spent some time outside the house in friendly conversation, during which several matches were lighted. Bullard had retired, and claimed he was disturbed by the noise of striking matches, and the talk. At the breakfast table the next morning lie claimed to have reprov ed his daughter for making so much noise, and disturbing him. Some words followed, Ruby going to an adjoining room and putting on her bonnet. i Mr. Bullard claimed he went to his | bed, secured his pistol, and started j to put it iu his trunk, when Ruby re turned to tho room, and picked up a fork from the table. Bullard alleged she started to attack him, and he threw up his hand to protect himself, and in cioiug so the revolver was dis charged, the bullet finding lodgment in her head. He said: "I saw her stagger, and I thought she was dead, so 1 might as well fire the rest of the shots, which 1 diu." Bullard was tried and convicted at the October term of the superior court, and sentenced to be hanged. His case was appealed, the decision of the lower court being affirmed. It was then claimed Bullard was insane, and a special commission ap pointed by Governor Terrell examin ed him, and declared him sane. His case was then carried to the prison board, who, in turn, refused clemency. * Asa last effort to save his life the governor was appealed to for a stay of execution, on tho claim that Bul • lard’s physical condition was such that it was only a question of a few more weeks until Bullard would yield his life to the dreaded disease, con sumption. Governor Terrell sent a committee of doctors to Marietta Thursday morn ing to examine Bullard as to his pry sical condition, and they reported his temperature slightly above normal, and pulse normal. With this report, all hope for clem ency from the governor fled, and Bul lard resigned to his fate PLEA 0 OHtNSt bill! Itl). [motional Insanity Now IrgeJ in Behai! ot the Mrother tirolhers. The defense in the Strother trial at Culpeper, Va., Friday shifted I'ioir. the “unwritten law” to “emotional in sanity,” and almost the entire day was devoted to argument on the prop er form of a hypothetical question, which was asked Dr. Charles N.

"He came in and sat down near the door to wait his turn. I yelled ‘next’ at him two or three times when my chair was va cant, bu-t be was dreaming and didn’t hear me. Finally I touched him on the shoulder and told him I was ready for him. “ ‘What do you want me to do?’ he asked. “ ‘Why get in the chair if you want anything,’ I replied. ‘This is a barber shop.’ “ ‘Oh, yes,’ he said, and then he got into the chair. He leaned back so 1 let the chair down and shaved him He didn't have a word to say. When I finished him up he got out of the chair and took the check over to the cashier. He paid and started out. When half way through the door he stopped. “ ‘Say.’ he said to me, ‘what did you do to me?’ “ ‘I shaved you.’ I said. “ ‘Darn the luck,’ he replied, ‘I want ed a haircut.’ Then he went out scowling.”—Denver Post.
