The houso in committee of tho whole, by a vote of 69 to 66. made on adverse re port on the exposition appropriation bill, which was taken up Immediately after the registration bll) was disposed of. Capt. E. P. Howell of Fulton made the opening speech of tho day in favor of the appropriation. Capt. Howell was quite independent In his tone. He said tho exposition could get along very well without the state exhibit, but a* a busi ness proposition, the state c^uld not af ford to neglect such an opportunity. Mr. Willingham of Monroe county made a speech against the appropriation < n the plea of unconstitutional!ty. Mr. Wilson of Clay also spoke for it and Mr. Mc- Amy of Hart closed the debate In op position. After the adverse report had been made tho bill was about to be put upon its passage when Mr. Doolan of Chatham moved to adjourn. The motion was adop ted and the fate of the exposition bill was delayed until the night sosslon. The house did not take up the exposi tion bill tonight, but devoted Itself en tirely to passing upon the general tax bill. B’rlends of the exposition bill thought best to let It go over to another day. IN THE SENATE. Tho senate today passed the bill pro- vldlng for the sale $f the Northeastern railroad and immediately transmitted it to the house for action. Senator Munro’s bill prohibiting munic ipal corporations from taxing non-rcaldent manufacturers, merchants oi traders was killed after a warm debate. Senators Munro, Boyd and Send spoke for the bill and Senators Beeks. Lewis. Lumpkin nnd N. E. Harris opposed lt. Another Important bill passed woi that of Senator Wilson providing that In ap plication for change of vemio Judges may hear either oral or written evidence. There will be no no summor session bill Introduced at this session. Today the Joint committee appointed to prepare a plan for summer sessions of the legisla ture reported against tho advisability of agitating that question now. The com mittee thought In view of the fact that the appropriations are about made It would not be wise to disarrange every thing by passing a summer session bill. Several local bills were passed by the senate. The finance committee of tho senate has reported favorably* an amendment to the appropriation hill Increasing tho ap propriation to the Blind Asylum from $16,000 to $20,000. ■Sctortce aiml experience, concur In the Jodurnrem tiW.it I>r.

This, however, is by no menus tho first honor of the kind paid to tho dead soldier. Baroly a rod from tho hurrying thousands on Broadway, Now York, the body of tho lioro llos in a vault beneath tho east wall of quaint old fit. Pours church, where Washington onco worshiped. Each duy tho hero's 'ust id shaken by the tramp of unending armies passing on tho double quick in tho groat battlofor bread. Above tho vault ls a handsome monument built Into tbe wall of tho ohurcb. The monu ment was raado In France by order of Bonjamln Franklin and bears the inscrip tion: This monument was erected by order of congress 25th January, 1770, to transmit to posterity a grateful rr mcnibrnnco of tho pa triotism, conduct, enterprise and perseverance of Major General Richard Montgomery, who, after A scries of successes amidst tho most discouraging difficulties, foil In tho attack on Quebec 81st December, 1775, aied © years. Montgomery was born near Itopboe, Ire land, Doc. 8,1736, was educated at Trinity college, Dublin, and entered tho British army at tho ngo of 18, little dreaming that ho would ono day fight against tho flag of tho king. Ills bravery and knowledge of military tactics won him a captaincy nfe 28. Deserved promotion being denied him, ho sold his commission and located In Now York In 1778. Whon wor with Great Britain began, he warmly espousod the causo of tho colonies and was appointed a brigadier general by tho continental con gress. During tbo Invasion of Canada Montgomery was in command of ono of tho continental armies, 1,000 men strong. IIo assisted In capturing Montreal and then attackod Quebec. While loading a gallant chargo up a narrow pass that Is now part of Champlain street Montgom ery wob mowod down by tho flro of two cannon but a few fcot distant. Ho was instantly killed and was buried on tho spot tho following morning by tho British officerSjmany of whom knew and respited him. Yoars later his body was removed to New York and burled In St. Raul's churchyard. The only way to cure cartarrh to to purify the blood.

You never saw a tiling take so In all your lire ns the Telegraph's ‘'cheap column" oontcat has taken. Everybody seem, to be looking for tho lost word. Many say they have found ihoae already given out. Maybe they have; if they beep It up anil get here tlmt Friday morning with the correct answer, they will get the Tele graph's money. Tbo «re:vgraph regrets tlmt a few people have formed an Idea that some one on the 'iuslde" will earn this money. This Is entirely wrong, and to prove lt, notloe is now given that no one In any way connected with thlB paper, nor their relatives, even unto the fourth degree of corisangu.nity, caa contest for the prise. This ls done simply to avoid any suspicion that might arise In the minds of some peo ple, and not to prevent a trlok being played by anyone connected, ,wlth tho office, for it la aa Impossible for any one In the olllcc to know what tho sentence Is unless he roads the "cheap columns” from day to day, as it ls for an outsider to guess tho sentence at the beginning. Only one mau In the Telegraph offlee known wliar. tho sentence Is, and no ono else will know it until It ls given In full lu Saturday's issue. But let It bo understood that no ono connected wth the Telegraph tuor their relatives can contest for the prize. It can only be one who watches the cheap columns from day to dsvy. and reuds every word printed therein. It may save you confusion If you remember that only one word Is printed ectch day this week. The sentence will contain seven words. Have your answer In early Friday morning, but not before 7 o'clock. If «o correct answer ls turned In by 10 o'cloek SS'timlny night, then tho new contest, which will have bogur, will be doubled In the amount of money offered; or, In other words, If no ono finds the sentence th!« week tho money off-red will be added to that to be offered next week, and the win ners next week would receive 820 In stead of $10. Every one should gn to work to earn tho Teietmtpit's money. Uotne'ubw, It Is ?10 overy wools from now until Christmas. Tit's money will home In nlcoly, and not tnuoh work '« Involved in oarnlns lt.

Seven of these worts will form n Bentonce. To Hinsonte: Suppose on Saturday morning the Tel egraph prints In Its rihetap ooltt-nn cn mlvertlsomont like tho following: XMAS TRIX—The time Is short; prices low; Judicious tho place is here. And then on Sunday suppose you nee the following: WATCH the columns of the Telegraph advertising for our special holiday offerings. And again on Monday you find this one: •WF, do not hide our light under a bushel. Our store ls always, there fore, always crowded. And on Tuesday you see this: WE find that It pays pays to tell the public what we've got. On Wednesday you may see some thing like this: LOST—An opportunity to Increase our a trade by Inviting the publle to visit our store. On Thursday lt may take this form: OUR holiday trndo In good, booausa good wo advertised our goods. And then for the last day, Friday, sa- something like this one: JUDICIOUS advertising always pays a dividend. If you are a careful reader you have found that tho word "Judicious" was out of place in the Saturday ad; on unduy you found that Important word "advertising" out of place; on Monday you found “always"; on Tues day "pays"; on Wednesday "a"; on Thursday “good"; on Friday '‘dive dend." The week has been oompleted and you have found ono word each day, which when put together form the sontenoo "Judicious advertising always pays u good dividend," which Is a maxim true as gospel. If you have been quick, you have rushed your ssswer to the Telegraph office at the earliest hour possible Fri day morning. If lt was tho tlmt cor rect answer received, you will read In Saturday’s paper the pleasant an nouncement that you have received $5: If the sooond oorrodi answer, that you have received $3; and If third, $2. . Of course, the nentonee which begins Saturday will not be tho some as the above, and probably nothing like It; so don't attempt to guess until you have nnd carefully each of the seven apers beginning Saturday and con cluding with Friday morning's issue.
