In the House filibustering liegan early today, Kilgore demanding the reading of the journal in full. His object was to prevent considera tion of the bankruptcy bill. The clerk as usual omitted the reading of the re ports, bills, and petitions which come in under the rule permitting them to filed with the clerk; but Kilgore called atten tion to this omission and demanded that their titles be read. -- O'Neil contended that the petitions, of which many were in fa Tr of opening the World's Fair on Sunday, were not a part of the journal; but the speaker ruled otherwise and the clerk proceeded with the reading. The journal having been read Kilgor objected to its approval, whereupon Ottis moved that it be approved, and on tbat motion demanded trie previous question. The previous question was ordered yeas 214; nays 3, and then the journal was approved bv a mere quorum, 168 votes in the affirmative and none in the negative. of TO ADMIT UTAH, Will confer a favor on us, and nt the same time help us to furnish them better Groceries by always giving us immediate notice of any Bill In the Senate For Tbat pur pose Mew Boats.

After careful con sideration of a number of bills in regard to the homestead, the House committee decided to tavorablv report a bill whose principal features are that there shall be no exemption against iniuries to person. property, or character; no exemption against work and labor done, and none against materials furnished. The bill provides that the husband may waive the homestead by note in certain cases without the wife's conset and in other cases with her consent, and also provides that the changes shall not apply to existing debts or renewals thereof.

A week ago Mrs. Cleveland took a sleigh ride ufter attending church. A lot of people in various purts of the county pretended to be shocked at this, and demanded that the Biblicnl injunction in regard to the Sabbath day be carried out to the letter. Ihcy did not explain, nowever, bow any- Doay wns going 10 gee to cnurcn in the deep snow which then prevailed without using a sleigh, nnd apparently forgot the fact that the Cleveland horses had only just arrived at Lakewood and needed exercise. People in Lakewood, knowing the impossibility of getting about here last week without a sleigh, have been much amused at some of these idle criticisms, nnd the minister of one of the local churches has said that if sleighs could not be used he would have no Sun day congregation. At any rate neither Mrs. Cleveland nor the President elect useJ the sleigh today. It was driven to the cottage about 11 o clock and the nurse took lit tle Miss Cleveland out for a ride. Miss Ruth, who 19 looking the picture o health, was clad in a white silk astra kban coat, witb a hood ot the same color, and after a ride ot two hours in the crisp air returned to the cottage with glowing cheeks. It is expected tbat William C. Whitney will be down here about the middle of the week, and the arrival ot other Dem ocratic leaders is looked for about the same time. N. Y. World. OUT AT BRVbON CITY. GYMNASIUM NOTES. HBinitstiS Reagan DRUGGISTS. Basket Ball to Be Introduced In Asbevllle. All authorities on health are agreed that physical exercise should be taken in the winter, in a well regulated gymna sium. Why? To get in good condition, to keep in good condition and to prepare for the debilitating influences ot spring. All this, and much more, will tne Ashe ville Y. M. C. A. gymnasium do. Classes are held on .Monday. Wednesday and Friday evenings at 8:15 o'clock and on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 5 p. TO . The instructor will be at the associa tion rooms each day from 12 to 1:15 o clock to meet and talk with anyone relative to the work. If anyone is unable to call, he may write aod get full particulars. 1 k ere is now on foot a movement to int dduce the game of basket ball, which is pronounced by all -who have seen it the greatest indoor sport yet devised. To play it requires agility, gives exercise and keeps the mind constantly active. The Citizen will make an announce ment o the first game. THE REALTY WOULD. Cold Weather Mews From ttae 1.1 tie Mountain Town. J. W. L. Arthur of Bryson City, spent Monday night at the GrandCentral. Talk ing about cold weather, Mr. Arthur told The Citizen that on the 16th inst. an exposed thermometer in his town reg istered 34 below zero. The Tuckaseegee river has been frozen over, and ice twelve inches thick bus been taken off it, so that Bryson City will not sutler trom an ice famine next summer. Last week the snow was thirty inches deep, and when Mr. Arthur left home there were still twelve inches on the ground. It has been three weeks since the inhabitants of the town had a sight of the bare earth, and Mr. Arthur says if the snow does not melt faster than it has there will be snow there till March. Mr. Arthur says this is no Hvams talk, because he knows whereof he sneaks He laughingly added that Asheville must have used a Hvams-patent-winter-rcsort thermometer, as the mercury did not get lower here than 1" below. BUM- BtXNCOMBE SYRUP OF TAR Natural Improvlser of Soncaud Can Reel Off Verses for Hours sat a Time Can Neither Read Nor Write, and Is Devoid of Memory. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat prints a story of a Buncombe county prodigy. The story was given that paper by a gentleman stopping at the Ltndell hotel in that city and is as follows: "Living in the mountains of Western North Carolina near the city of Ashe ville, and within a mile of where the walls of George Vanderbilt's ten million- dollar castle are growing skyward, lives man who, if he bad the opportunity, would become a poet laureate. lie is ignorant, un sophisticated and, must I say it, very profane; but for all tbat he has an ardent eye for the beautiful in nature and is . a pastoral poet oi nature s own making. This man, or boy rather, for he is not more than twenty years, is a natural moroviser of soncr. and. in the rude, un couth language of the mountaineer, he will sometimes repeat verses by toe hour, rolling them out as fluently and as charmingly as a Wbittier or a tturns. He can neither read nor write, and seems to be devoid of memory, as he can never repeat his verses a second time. He will take a mossy stone, a icaty tree and a bird and weave out of them a story, or a song sometimes, exquisitely beautiful, it seems to be as natural tor this child of nature to be poetical as it is t- .. i , lor ine mocking oira to sing or a uruui to bubble. He has a perfect conception of metrical harmony, and rarely does the measure ot his verses change when im provising, but sometimes the listener will be shocked to hear a protane word woven into a verse otherwise perfect in measure and harmony. His talent is not at all appreciated by his father, who pronounces him a worthless scamp who woul-1 rather be ofl singing than hoeing in the tobacco patch, and it is admitted by his most ardent admirers that he is 'just too lazy to live.' This second Burns is named Alvin ackson, ana ms lather says disgustedly that 'Alvin is the only dam fool that was ever in the family.' STOCKHOLDERS' meeting. Directors of The R. E. Investment Company of WllmlnsTlon. The annual meeting of stockholders o the Keal Estate Investment company of Wilmington, N. C, was held yesterday in the office of Mai. Cha&.M. Stedman in Asheville.
