Mrs. Lease wears upon her bosom, suspended by a gold chain, a Knight Temylar charm with the usual key stone of the chapter on the reverse side, and I she declares that she is as much entitled to wear it as any man who belongs to the Templar Order.

Arranging the State Exhibit at New bern The Pythian Anniversary Good Price at the Horse Sale To Uniform the Agri cultural College Stu dents Street Rail way Contest. Mkssekgkb Bureau, ) Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 17. J There is quite a stir in regard to the taking of Mr. Frank R. Hewitt, of, Hewitt, N, C, to Georgia, upon the false accusation that he was a fugitive from justice, and it is more than likely that he will be promptly returned to this State From Capt. W. B. Kendrick, now of Raleigh, but formerly of Virginia, your correspondent learns that Mr. Hewitt is a son of Dr. Hewitt, whose home is near Lynchburg: that he is an A. M. of the University of Virginia, and that both he and his father are gentlemen of high character and means. Mr. Hewitt has done a great deal for the development of this State. He has been a large shipper of talc to Europe. Governor Carr said this afternoon that the papers in this case had been carefully looked over again by him and were in entirely proper form. At the request of Mr. Leftwich, counsel for Mr. Hewitt, certmed copies or. tne papers nave been forwarded to him at Atlanta. Khpriff J. M. Woodv. of Yanev countv. to-day completed his State tax settlement, paying in $ 1,742.88. uy an early train to day sixty-tnree con victs wese sent from the penitentiary to one of the Roanoke farms. . Only life-term men and sick are now left in the great prison. Among tne ca iters at tne .Executive otnce to-day was ex-Governor Jarvis, who with Mrs. Jarvis is here for a few days. Four convicts from Wilson county were brought to the penitentiary this morning. The anniversary exercises of the Philo mathesian and Euzelian literary societies of Wake Forest college were held this evening. The cotton receipts in this market by wagon this season are 23,171 bales, against 18,605 to this date last year. Mr. Bruner and his assistants to-day began unpacking the State exhibit at the Newbern fair. The friends of Professor Weber, the Trinity college professor who was charged with be ing short in his accounts while in South Carolina, assert that the charge is a purely malicious one, the work of some of the Till maniacs. The Knights of Pythias of this city, will next Monday have a joint celebration in honor of the thirtieth anniversary of their order. iThe persons who will buy the electric rail way here will put in and operate an electric lighting plant in connection with it. There was a little flurry of snow Thursday afternoon. Mr. R. L. Prempert, who for several days was sick here, having had a relapse, is out again. i The horse sale here was quite satisfactory. Most of the annimals disposed of were year lings and two year olds. Deputy Collector W. C. Troy reports the seizure of the illicit distilling of J. M. York in Randolph. At the horse sale here seventy-three ani mals were disposed of and brought $8,000. Some yearlings sold for 1300. These were home-bred. The highest price for one of the Kentucky colts sold was $175. It is now expected that the Oxford and Coast Line railway will soon be completed. By the middle of March the students at the Agricultural and Mechanical college will be uniformed. North Carolina cloth will be used. There are now 192 students there. Five convicts from Chatham county were brought to the penitentiary to-day, making the number received this month forty-nine. There are in the prison 131. Of tnese eight are white women. State Treasurer Tate is expected here in a few days. . He has almost entirely regained his strength and is able to walk about liis house at Morgan ton. Governor Carr has received an application for the pardon of Avery Butler, the white boy who at Clinton two or three years ago waylaid and assassinated his father. The visiting editors of medical journals are to take suppsr here on the 20th as the guests of the Chamber of Commerce and the physicians of this city. There now appears to be little doubt of a reduction of acreage of tobacco this season, and of a corresponding or even greater in crease in the acreage of oats and corn. There is quite a contest in regard to the street railway. The owners want it sold regularly, in accordance with the decree of the United States court, while the parties who wish to eet the franchise and equip and operate the road desire to get possession at once. A committee of the board of alder men will consider the matter. Some of the small counties are greatly in terested in the Duplin suit in regard to the mode of disbursing school tax. They say that if the State makes the disbursement they will haye school terms twice as long as at present. It does not appear that the suit will amount to anything unless the State Treasurer becomes the plaintiff. The Woman's Suffrage Convention. Washington, Feb. 17. The National Woman's Suffrage convention has decided to hold its next annual meeting in Atlanta. Atlanta had for its champion Miss Augusta Howard and Miss Maxwell. Miss Maxwell said that a woman's convention was re garded in the South as a curiosity, and to bring the Woman's Suffrage convention to the South would bring women together from all over that section of the country. Mr. Henry Blackwell and the Rev. Anna Shaw also thought that Atlanta was the proper place for the next meeting. It was the heart of the solid South where the con vention could appeal to the men to extend to the women the political equalities vouch safed to men. Frederick Douglass, of this city, -also seconded the proposition to have the convention held in Atlanta. The following is an abstract of a paper read at the convention to-night: "Some Georgia Curiosities" was the "sub iect of a paper read bv Mrs. Myria Howard DuBose. Along with Georgia's resources, the paper said, the State has some curiosi ties, included in which are some of her men and women, men who love the women too dearly to accord them justice and women who are taken in with such af fection. In making . a collection of Georgia curiosities - you will find, she said, a class of editors worthy to be included in the collection, editorially in viting the public to discuss freely and fairly in their columns all questions touching the interest of the people. When the subject of woman suffrage comes up and the public both opposed to and in favor of it, avails it self of this cordial invitation to discuss this subject, the articles m opposition tmd abun dant space ana caecum); ueauiiura, wuic articles in favor of woman suffrage are tagged ''unavailable for publication" and returned to the writer. Another curiosity is the self-supporting woman in Georgia, who is crowding every path, which path the work of Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stan ton and Lucy Stone have smoothod for her. You will find her every where that a dollar is to be made without encountering the masculine frown, all the while boasting she has all the rights she wants and making herself ridiculous by sneering at the wo men to whose labors sue owes ner present employment. ' Brazilians Demanding Peace. BrENoa Ayres, Feb. 17.

Trie Fight Between These Two Bodies The Queen Exerting Her Influ- ence to Save the Peers Sales of" Presentationsr Pro- hibited by the Queen. London, Feb. 17. The liberals plan to triumph over the Peers by compelling them to abandon their amendments of the Parish Councils bill. They" are hopeful of success, but they may experience a sharp set-back next week. It is not improbable that the Peers will declare their adhesion to certain points which the Governent con aiders im possible. The Conservatives in the House of Commons have surrendered much, but not all. Questions concerning the control of charities, the allotments, the poor law and boards of guardians and the reform of the London vestries are still bones of con tention between the Government and the opposition. These questions must be set tled in the Government's favor before the Liberals can truthfully boast of compelling the assent of the Peers to the programme of the Commons. If Lord Salisbury should c ncede everything involved in the dispute, he would do so probably in deference to the personal wishes of the Queen, who is known to dread an open conflict between the two Houses. She is convinced that such a con flict would cause universal clamor for the abolition of the hereditary law-makers. For these reasons the Queen's influence has been exerted already to induce the Tory Peers to act with greater prudence. What ever may be the result of the Queen's inter ference, many Liberals and all the Radicals feel that the time is ripe to limit the power of the Lords "to veto the decision of the Commons. No surrender of the Lords on existing issues is likely to modify the de termination of these men to deaf radically with the Upper House. As the Tories have perpetual control of the Peers, they hold and will hold the power to wreck all Liberal legislation. They have not hesitated to reject the Home Rule bilL They have made every effort to destroy the Employers' Liability and the Parish Coun cils bills. They have already made their preparations to defeat in the next parlia mentary session the Welsh Disestablish ment, the Local Option, and the Registra 1 tion Reform bills. With such a Tory oli garchy permanently ruling the country, the Liberals ask how it will be possible to pro ceed with any reform. The Speaker voices the opinion of the best minds in the Liberal party wnen it demands that the Peer's power of veto shall be a bo 1 ished while the "House of Lords shall be allowed to stand as a venerable ruin, con tinuing such customs as are completely harmless."- The radical Star, T. P. O'Connor's old daily. Bugeests: The Cabinett oueht to end the trouble by adding to some important bill the declaration of the House of Commons that it is against good Government that the House of Lords interfere therewith. Another proposal is that the House of Commons shall refuse to vote the salaries of officials of the Upper House, thus giving the Peers summary notice to quit. The explosion near Greenwich observatory on Thursday evening has caused a vast amount of newspaper talk concerning the dangers of Anarchism in England. An offi cial well acquainted with the methods and personnel of the Anarchist colony here. said that there was hardly a dozen militant Anarchists of English birth in the city. The colony was made up, j he said, of squalid nobodies, wretchedly poor and with out orgaaization as a party. These men, he thought, were powerless to do much harm. The French, Swiss and Belgian Anarchists, he said, did not constitute, either individu ally or collectively, such a dangerous social factor in London as sensational police re ports had indicated. The Queen has ordered the court officials to adopt strict precautions to prevent the sale Ot introductions at court by women of titles. Presentations at court have so long been matters of barter that the whole prac tice has become a public scandal. All pre sentations, for which the chaperones re ceive money, will be canceled publicly if the court officials ascertain the facts. The police are still hunting for evidence to connect Martial Bourdin the man who was killed in Greenwich park Thursday night, by the premature explosion of a bomb, or chemicals, that he was carrying; with the militant Anarchists who have fled to England from the continent for asylum. Among the papers found on Bourdin was a bill made out by a hotel in Brussels. A number of spherical glass bombs, filled with explosives, were found, a few days ago, in the hotel named on the bill head. Bourdin was recently absent from London several days and these facts indicate that it was he who owned the bombs in the Brussels hotel. The police are keeping a close watch on all the Anarchists here. The theory that Uourdm intended to blow up the Greenwich observatory is hardly tenable. An Anarchist outrage in London, or elsewhere in England, would probably result in, such regulations regard ing foreign Anarchists being taken that they would lose the only refuge they have in Europe. It is, therefore, considered that they would notcommit an act in this coun try that would probably result in their ex pulsion. " The Sun's Cotton Review. New York, Feb. 17. The Sun's cotton re view says: Cotton advanced 5 to 8 points, then reacted, and closed steady at a net rise for the day of 3 to 4 points on near months, and 5 to 8 points on distant months. Sales were .70,000 bales. Liverpool advanced 1 point, closing steady. Spot sales were 6,000 bales at weak, but unchanged prices. New Orleans advanced 2 points. Spot cotton here was quiet and unchanged with no sales. Southern spot markets were quiet, steady and unchanged. New Orleans advanced l-16c and sold 4,000 bales. Memphis sold 2,700, and Galveston 1,862. Port receipts were 8,058 bales, against 12,100 this day last week and 13,666 last year. Auuota receipts were 180 bales, against 189 last year: Mem phis receipts were 237 bales, against 232 last year; shipments to-day 2,000. St. Louis re ceipts wee 101 Dales, against ids last year; : shipments 1,491. Houston receipts were 969 bales, against 2,687 last year; shipments to-day 1,483. Comments A rise in Liverpool, a light; crop movement, buying for local Southern and European account, caused an advance, and much of it was held, in spite of the fact that New Orleans telegraphed that 8,000 bales were expected there on Monday,: against 3,772 last Monday, and 5,168 last year. The cotton goods trade is not in a favorable condition and the tone in all the speculative market, is a hesitating one, so that cotton has made little response to the decreased crop movement within the past week. Not a few preier to await the effect of clear weather on the receipts, with a view of ascertaining whether the stormy weather at the South of late has cut down the quan tity or not. There was considerable switch ing to-day from March to late months. There is no claim for Ayer's 8arsaparllla which cannot be endorsed by scores of testi monials. This fact plainly proves that the blood is the source of most disorders and that Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the best of blood purifiers. Try it this month. Georee B. French. Esq., of Nashua. N, H., in an argument before the New Hampshire Legislature July 16th, 1889, uses the follow ing words: "When the common people can not find Pond's Extract, which they run for in distress, on sale at some convenient place, just as they have done, there will be a howl go up that the regular school cannot cure with their instruments or thorough courses. When a man has a raging pain in his tooth, -lninta. or face: when he is tied into a double bow-knot with a cramp in his stomach, he cannot stop to go to a physician five miles off and take a thorough course. He is going to have something in his medicine closet that he can get at without any prescription, with a gold seal on it." - Death of the Wealthiest Hebrew In America. Nfw York. Feb. 17. Albert S.

THE TASK OF THE SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE. The Sub-Committee Not Yet Beady to , Report the Tariff Bill to the Full Committee Unable to Get the Bill in Shape In Consulta tion With Secretary - Carlisle Treasury Statement, Washington, Feb. 17. The State Depart ment has at last received the official copy of President Dole's reply to Minister Willis, as telegraphed from San Francisco two days ago. It came this morning by the regular mail from San Francisco, and with it came theieplv of Minister Willis. Copies of the correspondence received from the Minister are being made at the State Department and will go to Congress as soon as they are fin ished, probably on Monday, and Mr. Willis' letter will be made public through that source. A package was also received through the San Francisco mail from Rear A dmiral Irwin. It contained no interestmg fellers, -fee hug-grade up principally of copies of routine orders affecting enlistments, etc. Immigrant Inspector Deshler arrived here this morning from Key West, Fla. -He made a detailed verbal report to Superin tendent Stump regarding the -Key West Cuban cigar makers' trouble. He will re turn to Key West next week to continue the prosecution of the cases against the alien cigar makers. The official statement of the receipts from internal revenue for the first seven months of the present fiscal year show a decrease of $12,265,784 as compared with the correspond ing period of 1893. The principal sources of internal revenue were: Spirits, $47,862,322, a decrease of 9,319,964, tobacco, $16,432,149, a decrease of $2,787,4; fermented liquors, $18,565,568, a decrease of $313,343, and mis cellaneous, $83,136, a desrease of $26,177. The aggregate receipts for January, 1894, were $859,709 less than for January, 1894. The full membership of the Democrats on the Senate Finance committee met early this morning in Senator Voorhees' room, and about 11 o'clock Secretary Carlisle 1'oined them. Nothing has as yet become mown as to Mr. Carlisle's errand. The Louisiana Senators still profess to be ignorant of the intentions of the committee regarding sugar, but reiterate their own in tentions to fight the bill in case their wishes are ignored. Senator Proctor, of Vermont, representing the marble interests, was before the com mittee this morning for a short time, and urged that a higher duty be placed upon that article. The committee remained in session until 4 o'clock. It is likely that a session of the sub-committee will be rheld to-morrow. Senator Caffery said after the meeting that he knew no more concerning the probable course of the committee towards sugar than he knew three days ago- He had not the faintest conception of the outcome of the commit tee's work, and only knew what he and his colleague would do in case sugar was left unprotected. The general impression at the Capitol was that nothing would be settled in the sugar schedule until Monday morning. Senator Voorhees. who yesterday declared that the bill would be ready to lay before the full committee on Tuesday, to-day de clined to make any prediction or discuss the situation. How any definite result can be reached by the time designated does not seem clear. A prominent member of the Ways and Means committee of the House, who has the confidence of the Senate com mittee, and who has been with the mem bers frequently since the bill went to the Senate, said this afternoon that it would be absolutely impossible, at the rate the committee was going now, to report the bill for several days. He said that the phys ical condition of Senators on the committee did not permit them to giye the labor that assiduous attention that was displayed in the House, and that, from the very nature of things, their work would be slower. This member also preferred the criticism that the Senators appeared to know but little about the work, and having gotten the House bill to pieces, did not appear to know just how to get it in shape again. It is altogether unlikely, even if the Democratic members of the f inance com mittee lay the bill before their Republican colleagues Tuesday, that they could get it into the Senate until the latter part of the week; for there will be strenuous objections to such haste and the Republicans might be able to postpone the report to the benate for a few days at least. Senator Morrill, as soon as the bill is presented to the minority. will ask that he "be permitted to discuss the measure, and seek from the committee, before the bill goes to the Senate, the reasons for the changes that have been made in the existing law. He will also want to make an argu ment against the proposed action of the committee and endeavor to persuade them to make some alterations. In this manner. courtesy alone preventing the committee from summarily dismissing the request of the Nestor of the Senate, some few days will be consumed. Collars and cuffs have been a fruitful source of discussion in the Senate, as they were in the House, and Senators Hill and Murphy have been besieged bydelegations representing that industry at Troy. Sena tor McPherson has also been importuned to take this industry under his care and assist in keeping up the present duty. Business Concerns That go Under. New Yokk, Fef . 17.

At the Stock Ex. change the week closed as it opened, namely: dull and uninteresting. During the session only 85,000 shares changed hands. The bulla accorded the Grangers good support at the start and fractional advances were recorded,- but as the Industrials developed weakness a disposition to realize in the rail way list was soon manifested. Speculation, however, was listless throughout and was confined largely to the traders on the board, the uncertainty in regard to legislation at Washington still checking operations for outside account. Reports from Washington that the Senate sub-committee would favor an increase in the tax on spirits, and was considering a proposition to give the sugar people a moderate protection on refined failed to strengthen those stocks. On the contrary, whiskey declined lb per cent, to 27 and Sugar lj to 78. Chicago Gas dropped If to 63i on despatches from Chi cago that another ordinance against the trust would be introduced in a common council early next week. Outside of the shares named, the decline was equal to A to j, the latter in Burlineton. which touched 75i. The statement of the Chicago, Mil waukee and St. Paul for the second week of Febnncrv showing a loss in earnings of $11,742 had no effect. The same re mark applies to the bank statement. The decrease of $11,096, 875 in reserve excited little interest, as the banks still have $74, 000.000 surplus, against $18,000,000 last year, and money is practically unlendable, ex cept at merely nominal rates. The move ment of currency is still in f ayor of this centre, and the loss in the bank reserves has been due entirely to the extraordinary pay menta into the account of the Government loan. These payments are now about com pleted. The marked closed dull and irregu lar. Railway and miscellaneous bonds were higher. - Chicago, Feb. 17. Wheat had a dull and uninteresting session to-day. There were several variations in the tone, with corre sponding advances and declines, and the net result was a gain of J to! 8c for the day. As usual on Saturday, there! Was no marked feature to the trading, which was princi pally for local account The market opened unchanged trom yesterday's close, declined a fraction, reacted 4c, eased off and closed as above, r ' . In corn trading was mainly local. As in wheat, the transactions were of the charac ter which are usually seen on the last day of the week, that is, covering by shorts and evening up Dy longs. The opening was slightly higher than yesterday, declined 4c, advanced to Sc, and the close was with that amount gained over yesterday. Oats were dull and steady, with no feature of note to the trade. Price changes were foverned by those of com, and the.close was c above yesterday. Provisions were only moderately active. The opening was firm on account of an ad vance in the prices, for live hogs. Offerings then became slightly in excess of the buy ing demand and an easier feeling prevailed. letter, wnen wheat strengthened, some im provement was made in the product. At the close there was some decline from the outside, with a firm undertone. May pork closed 2Jc higher than yesterday; jlay lard 2Jc higher, and May ribs 5 to 7ic higher. The Situation at Rio. Rio Janeiro, Feb. 17. Copyright. The American warships New York and Charles ton left the harbor to-day for the purpose of preventing their crews from contracting yellow fever. They will Anchor at some convenient point not far from the entrance of the harbor, that is within easy communi cation with the city. The cruiser San Fran cisco remains at her usual anchorage. The yessels of the American fleet will take turns in doing harbor duty. Capt. Sturgis, of the Santuit. (an Ameri can steamer) which towed the Pirating from Brazil to New York, was fired upon by the insurgents as he was coming ashore this morning in a small boat. The insurgents, it is said, did not know that his was an American boat, as she carried no flag by which she could be distinguished. There were forty-five deaths here yester day from yellow fever and fifteen deaths from other fever. I he U nited states cruiser New York has gone to sea suddenly. It is suspected that she is tainted with fever. T T ' . I . . " T". . A 1 C, I unicea ouues cruiser ueiroit ieii nere a week ago in order to look into the state of affairs at Santos, Parangua and Desterro. She had no fever on board when she left port. ; There are only seven foreign warships here at present, and there is little doing. The spread of yellow f eyer is causing mucn alarm among the toreign population, as 01 those who die usually two-thirds are for eigners and three-fourths of those who die are merchants, and paupers also . add con siderably to the death list. Considerable curiosity as well as astonish ment has been ' expressed that the much- talked of cruisers Nictheroy and America have been so inactive. People expected the Nictheroy, especially, to do something start ling with her dynamite gun and when she did nothing but cruise outside ef Pernam- buco, and recently made ror uama, tne re port was circulated that there were dissen sions among her crew and that the dyna mite gun was useless. The following state ments are from a person who shomld un doubtedly be able to tell the true story of the affair. The Nictheroy never intended to engage the Aquidaban, and when it was reported that the Republica and Aquida ban had started in search 01 tne jxictneroy, the latter vessel was ready to do some good X inning. The following is the plan 01 operation which was mapped out for the Nictheroy in New Yoric between the dynamite gun com pany's people and the representatives of the Brazilian Government: A perfect chart of the han or oJlio was carefully measured and divided up into ranges for the dyna mite gun's projectiles. The Nictheroy was to go to the entrance or tne narDor 01 ttio, and from behind this entrance, protected from attack by the guns of the forts, was to have hurled her huge dynamite shells into Fort Villegaignon, situated on the island which has proved of such great assistance to the insurgents. But the facility witn which the Aquidaban and the KepuDnca left the harbor of Rio demonstrated the yery weak nature of the fire which the entrance forts could direct upon a man-of-war and changed these plans, ano the Nictheroy was then to have sailed for the southern stronghold of the insurgents with the intention to dynamite that place into subjection. This last plan might have been earned out betore this nao it not oeen for the fact that the fleet is anchored, wait ing for a supply of ammunition for its pow der guns. The vessels were fitted out hast ily in .New iotk ano mere was so mutu anxiety to get them south that only a small supply of ammunition for the powder guns was taken on board, it being generally un derstood that the remainder was to follow promptly. The company which was to fur nish it did not Keep its coairacia uuu wo fleet has so far been prevented from engag ing the enemy. By this time, however, the Nictheroy and America have received sup plies and both are in good fighting trim. ; Train Wreckers Arrested. Tw Angeles. Feb. 17.

The House Non-Concurs in the Senate Amendment The BUI Goes to Conference A Lively Debate on the Question The Want of a Quorum Prevents Debate on the Seign iorage Bill. Washington, Feb. 17. Mr. Wheeler, of Alabama, moved that the House non-concur in the Senate amendments, to the bill re quiring railroads passing through Oklahoma to establish stations and stop their trains at town sites in Oklahoma, fixed by the Secre tary of the Interior. Mr. Wheeler explained that there were two of these towns, one of which had a population of 5,000, at which the railroad refused to stop their trains, because, he said, for speculative reasons, the officials of the railsoad had purchased land near by and desired to build up towns thereon. The amendment made by the Senate pro vided for elections by the people of Okla homa for the choice of county seats. Mr. Hopkins asked what objections there were to accepting the Senate amendments. Mr. Wheeler replied that one was that there was no machinery existing for such I elections; and, again he contended that! congress had no right to pass a law regulat ing elections for selections of county Beats. Sir. Dunn asked Mr. Wheeler under what power Congress undertook to regulate the location of railroad stations in the Terri torv. Mr. Gear and several other members asked Mr. Wheeler various questions, to which he responded that the matter was a conspiracy by officers, directors and stock holders of a railroad corporation to crush out 5,000 people who had gone into the Ter ritory and invested their money in the town sites fixed by the Department of the In terior at the invitation of the Government under an act of Congress. The discussion drifted into a consideration of the corporation question, which Mr. Wheeler declared to Mr. Gear and other Re publicans, amid applause and laughter, that the Republican partv was a corporation party and always found supporting corpora tions in ineir coniesis witn me people. Mr. Wilson, of Washington, asked if it were not true that the Senate, which had made the objectional amendment to the bill against which Mr. Wheeler was protesting, was not a Democratic body, and its pre siding officer, the Vice President, a Demo crat. - To this Mr. Wheeler replied that the amendment was advocated by Republicans and put in by their votes. To the questions by JVlessrs.j Hall andWarner, Mr. Wheeler stated that the amendment was urged by a lobby pf ten or dozen railroad lawyers, and stated i that it had been stated that the amendment had been put on for the pur pose of killing the bill, and enabling the railroad to yym in their fight against the people. A dozen other gentlemen came ' into the discussion when it had come to an end. Mr. Wheeler's motion to non-concur in this amendment and to ask a conference was agreed to without division. Speaker Crisp announced Messrs, Wheeler, Kilgore and Avery as the House conferees on the Oklohoma town site railroad bill. When the call of committees for reports had been finished Mr. Bland moved that the House resolve itself into Committee of the Whole for the consideration of the Seiginorage bill and that general debate close in thirty minutes and on this motion he demanded the previous question. Upon seconding "the demand for the pre vious question the House, on division, voted yeas, 108; nays, 1. Mr. Tracy made the point of no quorum and the yeas and nays were ordered, upon the request of Mr. Bland. The vote re-. suited yeas, 157; nays, 3 no quorum and a call of the House was ordered. The call disclosed the presence of 157 members and the hour of 2 o'clock having arrived, further proceedings under the call were dispensed with. Mr. McDowell called up the resolutions in reference to the death of Gen. Wm. Lilly, late a member-at-large from Pennsylvonia, and proceeded to address the House thereon. Speeches were also made by Messrs. Woomer, Bynum, C. W. Stone, Hicks, Wright and Wanger. At 3:10 o'clock the House, as a mark of re spect for the deceased member, adjourned until Monday. MYSTERIES! The Nervous System the Seat of Life and Mind. Recent Wonderful Discoveries. "No mystery has ever compared wltb that of human life. It has been the leading subject of professional research and study In all ages. But notwithstanding tbis fact it Is not gener ally & u u w u that the seat of life is loca ted in the up per part of the spinal cord, near the base of the brain. and so sensi tive is this portion of the nervous sys tem that even the prick of a needle will cause instant deatn. Dainnl Aianwrlpi hivd demonstrated that all the organs of the body are under the con trol of the nerve centers, located in or near .. v.oa r tha hrnin and that when these are deranged the organs which they supply with nerve fluid are also deranged. When It is re membered that a serious injury to the spinal cord will cause paralysis ot the body below ii.aininroH nnint. tuvn nsA the nerve force is prevented by the injury from reaching the paralyzed portion. It will be understood how the derangement of the nerve centers will cause the derangement of the various organs which they supply with nerve force. Two-thirds or chronic diseases are due to the imperfect action of the nerve centers at the base ot the brain, not from a derange ment primarily originating in the organ it self. The great mistake ot physicians in treating these diseases Is that they treat the organ rather than the nerve centers which am tha .Quail nf thA t.milhlA.
