The Missouri legislature has indicated a. enter the refarm bustIIPSS by refusing' ta elect Prank James The Hawaiian delegate to congress has no vote, but he gets more mileage than any of the members who have a voice in the law making. The fact that Mr. Cleveland occasionally takes time to write a few words of advice to the Democrats must be a welcome one to the ducks.

The distribution of interest and divieends the first of the year is said to have amounted to .112 per capita. and yet there are some men who are broke. A reward of has been offered for Pat Crowe and nothing. said about lKidnaring. NOW is the time for that individual to come in and claim the money.

There Is nothing to Indicate that there will be any reduction in the usual number of -hold op- bills offered at the session cf the legislature which opens tomorrow. Secretary Gage proposes to add still another kind of money to, the many already in existence by coining 'Filipina dollars' containing' 45 cents worth of silver. The Filipinos do not take to our money any more readily than they do tco our The 'Washington Post would like to tear from Prof. Herron on. the probable cause of Dt-bs' defeat.

It Will be remembered that the professor attributed mr. Itryan's failure to be elected to the fact that he was not sufficiently radical in his views and utterances. It is of "Miss Hanna's comin4 nut party at the Cleveland Chamber of Conunerre, that there were scores of pres.r.,nt in full dress. No reason is assigned, but perhaps they were look ing for Pat According, to a dispatch from Washington "there is a. growing sentiment in congress in favor of making the terms of the of the four years Instead of NVO, ER at present." This change.

it is urrred, would be conducive to better legislation. because it would enable the house to be more deliberate in its action and release the congressmen the fear of passing public, sentiment. Some change which would congressmen to stand more in the fear of public sentiment would be more to the point. In his rfport on the production of the precious metals and the world's supply of curn-ncy the director of the mint gives the tntal stock of gold, silver and paper, including fractional silver, but not minor coin. at $4,600,000,000 in 1873 and 1900--an increase of over 152 per cent.

The director places the of gold at cf silver at and of paper at It appears. therefore, that the increase in gold was nearly one-third gteater than the increase in silver and more than rive times as gTeat as the increase in uncovered paper. Gifts and bequests for public purroses during last year aggregated of which nearly $35,000,0,10. or considerably more than one-half, to universities, colleges and other educational Institutions. Of the remaining a little more than a half went to charities, while nearly $9,000,000 was given to churches.

The balance of was divided about evenly between museums, art galleries and libraries. Andrew Carnegie NV ELS the largest public giver of the year, his benefactions footing up $4,225.000, of which all but $625,000 went to Pittsburg's institute and library. The next largest public benefactors were Samuel Cupples and R. A. Ilrookings, of St.

Louis, who gave CA000 to Washington university. The list of these public givers of millions includes less than twenty names SETBACM FOR BOUNTY GRAB. From the Chicago Chronicle. On reassembling- after the holiday re cess the senate made haste to sidetrack the shipping bounty grab and give the right of way to the army reorganization Senator Frye, who has for years been an ardent advocate of legislation of this kind and who bas made by far the speevh in support of the pending bill, was in the chair, and lie found it necessary to rule that the adoption ut the motion to proceed with tbe bill would displace his pet measure and it to the foot of the calendar. This looks as though.

the grab was knocked out for this session, for, what -with the army bill, the tax-reduction bill and the great the senate probabl3r enough to keop it pretty busy until the 4th of March, especially if there Is a disposition to kill leglalatlwa by takiPg PlentY of titne to consider legislation of other kinds. While there is no longer any great danger of the SUCCESS of this grab during the present SeSSiOrl, there is still considerable danger of its success when the new congress comes in. The longer the bill can be staved off the better the prospect of American taxpayers, because the more apparent it will become we shall have American shipping in the foreign trade without bestowing public money upon its owners. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe.

The love of a woman is more dangerous than the enmity of a man. The electricians promise as many wonderful things as the politicians. Nearly every man thinks his neighbors should "do" aumething for him. There is one trip we all have to take! the trip to the cemetery, and we can always ride in the rear CUa.CilWhat has become of the old-fashioned woman who made her children a night gowns out of hour sacks? It is said of Mrs. Will Findley that she can get up a good meal quicker and easier than ally other woman in town.

The Omaha kidnaper has already done more writing than the oruinary man can do without getting into trouble. Young girls are a good deal like their fathers: they think any one can be a good cook who has enough energy to mix a few things. SO far as we have been able to learn, only seven women in Atchison failed receive a turn over hand-made lace collar for Clu'istmas. Subject for debate at the next meeting of the Lancaster literary society: "Should a farmer invest his money in lit'e insurance or in cabinet organs?" The color of the pumpkin pie is a good test of a cook. When it is a pale yellow, you miss nothing by passing it by.

Pumpkin pie should not be ot the bilious tinge. The women are wearing a sort of second sleeve that looks as if their undersleeves had dropped down. As a. heartto-heart hint, we suggest that they tuck them up better. An Atchison woman has been winning some homage in society because she spcke of her "morning room." The gossips find that she refers to her kitchen.

And why isn't the the "morning Honesty is still the best policy: the man who captures the Cudahy kidnaper, will got as much money as the kidnaper, and be known as a useful, honest man with a. marked detective Instinct. When a little girl packs her gown and a hair brush in valise, and goes with her father for a short trip, the instructions given him, if bound, would make Shakespeare's complete works look like thirty cents.

-When a man's temper gets the best of him it generally shows the worst of him. It is sometimes easier to step into another man's ahoes than it is to walk them. Many a man who suddenly rose to eminence neglected to take a parachute with him. A man who neglects his own business can't be trusted to look after other people's affairs. A truthful west side dentist advertises as follows: "Teeth extracted with great pains." A lady writer advises girls never to marry men who talk loud.

Washington, Jan. 7.Representative Reeder talks interestingly of his bill to appropriate 325,000 for the work of investigating the practical features of sinking- artesian wells in the arid sections of Kansas for irrigating purposea.

Artesian wells: he says. have resulted in great practical good in South Dakota, where the experimental stage has been passed long ago, The region which he wants to Improve includes almost the whole tte2tern third of Kansas, or about forty counties. He says in the past two or three years the crops which have been raised there have been in large measure satisfactory, but they did not begin to reach the proportions which they would have reached had there been more water available. The wells which he wants sunk should go to a. depth of from 2,000 to 3,000 feet, he says.

Wells which have been sunk to a depth of 1,000 feet have sent up salt water, but he believes that the great depth will reach desirable quantity of and prevent the distressing-, disastrous drouths which have so retarded the agricultural development of that country. THEIR FINAL DECISIONS. Supreme Court Will Be Larger When Next It Acta, The supreme court has handed down the last lot of decisions that will be given until the court is increased by the four judges tts provided in the law the last election, which will reorganize the court and make the total number of judges seven. There were no important cases in the decisions handed down, and the only one which is attracting any attention is the Murphy case from Leavenworth county. Murphy was sentenced to the reformatory from and the managers decided that he should be transferred to the penitentiary at Leavenworth.

He took the case to the supreme court, claiming that when the managers of the reformatory discharged him he was entitled to his liberty. The court held that he was Incorrigible, and that the management had the right to send him to the penitentiary if tbey saw fit.

la BETHEL S. J. Riggins Withdraws From Parham School. Takes No Stock in Recent "Gift of 'Tongues." STRANGE GIBBERISH. "Students" Talk But No One Understands Them.

Mr. Parham Calls It "Power of the Lord." There is a at Bethel Eible college. S. J. Riggina, a- student, is the cause of the trouble.

He pronounces the institution a "fake" of the most pronounced type. This is the school at the Stone mansion west of the city, founded by Rev. Charles P. Parham, and which he is conducting on faith principles. Mr.

Parham 8.nd his followers believe they have the gift of tongues spoken of in the second chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. With this they believe they have the power of discernment and the g-ift of prophecy. Mr. Biggins came to the school several weeks ago with a class from Kansas City. He went there, as he says, "to study the Bible and do what I could for the cause of God, but there were those at the school whom I did not think were the earnest Christians I had supposed them to be, and I left the school to work in the city and study the Bible.

Later I went to city and worked with one of the MiSSiOEIS there, and afterwards camp back to Bethel. This was after the ones with vaiom I felt I could not work had left. "After staying at the school the last time things came to pretty The'y began to claim the gift of tongues and the gift of discernment, and each talked a- different kind of gibberish, claiming to be inspired by God, and that they talked one of the foreign. languages. "I was not under the influence, and could see that the students of the school had been led to this extreme through their fanaticism, and finally decided to leave the school.

Accordingly last Saturday morning I went away, but before going- I called the inmates of the building- together and explained to them my reasons for leaving. I told them they were under the influence of the evil one, and that the best thing they could do would be to leave the school, as I was doing. They all laughed at me, and I left the school, and do not intend to return." The Bible school was started at Stone's Folly some months by Ala Parham, who for several years has been the pastor of the Apostolic congregation in this city. He 1N-as brought into some prominence last. fall through being connected for a time with Rev.

Sandborn, took a class of about sixty to his Bible school at Shiloh, among them being Lizzie Bell, the Topeka girl who ran away from the school during alleged fit of temporary insanity. After returning from Shiloh, Mr. Parham shortly after started the Bible school in this city, which is conducted on the lines laid by the larger school at Shiloh. Theirs Is a faith belief, and it is through faith and prayer that the school is kept in existence. Everything used at the school has been furnished through free-will offering and In to prayer.

It is their belief that everything- needed by them Will be furnished them through divine influence. Their faith also teaches healing through prayer. About a. week ago the "gift of tongue" was bestowed upon one of their number, Miss Agnes N. Ozman, who began to speak in words which it is claimed is one of the foreign languages.

Since that time she has written and spoken several lang-uages it is claimed through inspiration of God. About fifteen members of the colony have now been given the gift of tongue, and when a State Journal reporter called at the school this morning each of the favored ones were called up and spoke a. few sentences in strange and unnatural way, outlandish words which they neither knew the of nor the language to which they belonged. Their reason for uttering them is that the Lord inspires them, and that during the time they are speaking they do not know what they are saying, but afterwards the Lord prompts them to utter tbe meaning of the strange words. It is EL peculiar sight to, see a.

whole room full of the men women of the school sitting around. occasionally breaking out with brief outbursts of talk in one of the many which they claim to speak, ELIE1 writing the quaint and indistinguishable hieroglyphics v-hich they believe to be the characters for words in. the Syrian, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and other languages. Me Parham said: "It is a wonderful work, coming as it does on the eve of the twentieth century. We for long believed that the power of the Lord would be manifested in our midst, and that power would be given us to speak other languages, and that the time will come when we will be sent to go into all the nations and preach the gospel, and that the Lord will give us the power of speech to talk to the people of the various nations without having to study them in schools."

nola DEATH OF 2111. HACKNEY. EX-Topekan Dies Alter Operation in Milwaukee. Word has reached Topekzt of the death In Milwaukee of Clem. Hackney, which occurred Sunday night at 8:30 after being- operated upon for gall stones.

Air. Hackney was born in Warringtoi. England. on May 18, 1848. and was 53.

years old. He passed through the public schools of Milwaukee and began his railroad career In the machine shops of theMilyvaukeeand Prairie du Chien railway. He afterwards became a. fireman on the same road and was promoted to an engineer. From 1875 until 1878 he was master of transportation of the Milwaukee Iron company at Alilwankee.

Following this he appointed assistant superintendent of machinery of the SaTita Fe in Topeka which position be held from 1878 to 1Ss5. He next accepted the position of superintendent of machinery of the Union Pacific at Omaha, remained in this capacity until The remaining time until his death was spent in the employ of the Fox Pressed Steel company of Joliet, and Pittsburg, with headquarters at Chicago, in the capacity of general manager. Mr. Hackney was a brother of Mrs. C.

D. Skinner and Herbert Hackney of this city and was the son of George Hackney who was for many years superintendent of machinery of the Santa Fe. He leaves a wife and one son who is now the manager of the Joliet works of the Fox Pressed Steel company NORTH TOPEKA BRIDGE. Plan on Foot to Erect One on Fairchild StreetA meeting has been called for Wednesday night at the fire station in North Topeka of all those interested in securing a bridge over the Kaw at Fairchild street A movement was on foot during the past summer to secure a bridge at thig point and the sum of $500 was offered by Jonathan Thomas to be devoted to the fund to build such a bridge. Tile ma-tter was dropped at that time but is again being agitated.

A bill will probably be introduced in the legislature to allow bonds to be voted for this purpose. With the building' of that bridge the people of that vicinity want that the Street Railway company shall connect their North Topeka and Oakland lines, thus making a circuit and giving Oakland a 15 minute service. The track could be laid, over the bridge at Fairchild street and would be a vast accommodation to many who cannot reach the street railway at present. A NEW POINT. Will Be Presented in Next Batch of Porto Rican Washington, Jan.

argument in the supreme court in the Porto Rican cases, involving the question of the legality of duties imposed by this Country on goods shipped from the United States to Porto Rico and from Porto Rico to the United States, did not begin today, as other cases preceding had the effect of postponing it until tomorrow. The couit, however, took sufficient cognizance of the cases to decide what time shoUld be given to each side of the controversy. This question was raised by former Secretary Carlisle, who stated that five of the cases could be consolidated. 'These cases are the cases of De lima others versus Collector Bidwell. S.

B. Dovvns versus Collector Bidwell, two cases of H. W. Dooley versus the -United States, and Carlos Armstrong- versus the United States. Upon suggesticyn the court awarded five hours to each side or the controversy.

Mr. Carlisle stated that these cases inli(dved the double question of the power of the United States to levy duty on goods shipped in both directions, the question regarding the imposition of duties on goods going into Porto Rico being entirely new. DEER IN CONNECTICUT. tll'rom the Hartford Times.) It seems to be a fact, proved by almost daily observation now, that the deer are returning' to Connecticut, and in good numbers, too. Reports are beard almost daily of one or more of graceful animals being seen in one or another part of the good old state, under circumstances which fix it that they are new arrivals.

There are probably more dPer in Connecticut today than at any previous time within the last 150 years. They are seen on railroad tracks. in fields and gardens. and even feeding with the domestic cattle. -Where they all come from and what is drawing- or sending them here seem not to be very clear.

They are not only seen in most unexpected places, but appear to be singularly tree from fear cif human beings. They are seen, too, in nearly all parts of the state. A day or two ago a young lady down the river below Middletown succeeded in photographing one of them by a snap shot. At almost any time within the last hundred years down to 1900 If a hunter wished to shoot a deer he made a long trip to find his gamegoing- either to the Adirondacks or the far backwoods of Maine. Their in such numbers might be accounted for by the disappearance of the wolves that formerly destroyed them: but the wolves have been gone, in almost all parts of New England, for a long time and their disappearance cannot now be relied upon to account for the deer.

-Whatever may turn up to be the cause of their sudden and rapid Increase in numbers here in old Connecticut, it is a pleasant thing to see them returning to this neighborhood. W'hat a pleasant addition to tilt neighborhood of our forest patches their graceful presence would make if their seeming trust in human kind. is permItted to take root and stay.
