I Warm tributes paid TO MEMORY OF QUAY from First Paee.) spoke with some bitterness of the attacks of which the late Senator was the almost unceasing: object throughout his career, and characterised them as unjust and malicious and as having; been inspired by political or personal animosities. Senator Penrose reviewed the early life of Senator Quay and then entered an elaborate denial of the old charges that Quay betrayed Governor Curtln and delivered his forces to Simon Cameron in the memorable senatorial battle of 186. He declared that Curtin was defeated by the masterful political strategy of Cameron. "Quay then became the lieutenant of Cameron, but always remained the friend of Curtin. Senator Penrose then reviewed Quay's many political battles, mentioned his trial and acquittal on the charge of using state funds for private purposes, and spoke at length on the subject of Governor Stone's appointment of Quay to the Senate after the Legislature had failed to elect.

There was no doubt, said Senator Penrose, that this appoint ment was in accordance of the will of the people of Pennsylvania, who wanted Quay to represent them in the Senate. Senator Penrose gave highest praise to Colonel Quay's gallantry in the Civil War, and eulogized his conduct of the Harrison presidential campaign in 1888 and his subsequent labors in Congress for the Imposition of high duties in the famous McKJnley tariff bill. THE "DYING OAK" Senator Quay then described the life of Quay in his old age, and said: "In a speech at Altoona Senator Quay voiced his feelings during the last two years of his life, when he said: 'It is a long time since I was first here and many of your grand men have known since then have gone to the land from which no traveler returns, They hnve passed away, and among their successors I feel like a dy Ing oak among healthy saplings. "Mr. Quay said of himself in an ad dress to the State League of Republl can Clubs, delivered May 14, 1901: 'At three score years and ten the world grows lonely.

Through wilder ness, almost desolate, the stream of life glides darkly toward the eternal gulf. The associations of early existence are gone. Its objects are gained or lost, faded in importance, and there is a disconnection with ideas once clamped about the reason, and dissolution of feelings once melting the heart. Occa sions like the present stand in pleasant relief green patches on a windy delta and are especially attract wel come. Fully recognizing ti.

your tri bute is not personal, but attaches to the hitch office with which the Republicans of Pennsylvania have honored me, I thank you. My political race is run. It is not to be understood that God's tword is drawn immediately against my life, or that my seat in the Senate is to be pre maturely vacated, but that with the subscription of my official oath on the ISth of January my connection with the serious labors and responsibilities of active politics ceased, except insofar as I may be committed to certain meas ures pending in the present Legislature. 'I will never again be a candidate for or accept any official position. I have many friends to remember, I have no enemies to punish.

In this regard I put aside the HIS FAME SECURE, SAYS KNOX. Mr, Knox, in his eulogy of his prede ceisor in the Senate, said, in part: "Though Senator Quay at times suffered conspicuously, from that intoler able thing which it seems the public servant must endure intentional mis' understanding and persistent misrepre' sentation his Just fame is now beyond the reach of the cheap detraction which assailed his life, but cannot obscure his real career and character. "He was kindly and affectionate, ten der in his domestic relations, loyal and helpful to his friends, cherishing and valuing them always, and most genial in his quiet way. "Grateful for a service, he was prompt to reciprocate. Like all men possessing leadership, be was a fighter and he fought a fight to the end; but when it was over it was over in all ways.

He was not vindictive; one of his most notable characteristics was his magnanimity." BIQ B0WL1NU TOURNEY IS ON LOVERS OF THIS SPORT FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ARE GATHERED IN THE CREAM CITY TO TAKE PART IN THE ANNUAL MEETING AND TOURNAMENT. ISpecial to The Times. Milwaukee, Feb. 19. Individual and team bowlers from all over the country are gathered in the Cream City to take part in the annual meeting? and tournament of the American Bowling Congress, which began in the Exposition Building yesterday afternoon and Is to continue through all of tho coming week.

From New York, Philadelphia and Washington in the East to Anaconda, Denver and several Pacific Coast cities in the West the alley men have Bwarmed here to compete for the $10,000 In prizes, and to enroll themselves as guests of the Milwaukee Bowling Association, host for the" champion tournament. Experts at the game predict the hottest kind 'of competitions In all the events, live men, two men and individual. Chicago and Milwaukee are naturally the most largely represented and the bowlers from these two cities are counting upon carrying away many prices. But all the way west from New York the cities have sent In delegations, and Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Erie, St. Joseph.

Kansas City and St. Louis men are here, anxious to compare their skill with that of the better known players. The 16 allays are new, freeS pins are to be set up daily, and none of the competitors have been allowed to practice upon the tournament alleys. While these conditions will militate against high scoring, it Is expected that some records of the American Bowling Congress will go by the board before the tournament Is concluded next Saturday. Sessions of the American Bowling Congress, controlling organisation of the game, will begin on Monday.

That the sessions this year are to be of much Importance is shown by the general demand for revision of certain rules and a general shaking up of the congress. so that It may become a worthy govern ing body of so Important a sport as bowling. The feeling that the commercial side of the sport, should be forced into the background Is the consensus of opinion among the delegate's here. Just what will be done cannot be stated definitely, but it is certain that an effort will be made to amend many rules, and amons them the eligibility rule, which ts conceded to be 'altogether undesirable by those who have tried to organize bowlers for the national tournament. Secretary Langtry, of the Milwaukee Bowling Tournament Company has drafted a rule which he will present to the delegates, as follows: "To qualify as a contestant in an annual tournament of the American Bowling congress, each bowler shall become a member of the American Bowling Congress at least five days prior to the date of the closing of the entires in accordance with Rule 5 of the bylaws.

"To bowl on a team entered In the annual tournament, each Individual bowler must be a bona fide member of the American Bowling Congress in good standing. "To become a bona fide member of the American Bowling Congress it will be 'necessary for each individual to Join the American Bowling Congress and pay annual dues of 25 cents at least five days prior to the date of the closing of entries for an annual tournament, A bona fide member of the American Bowling Congress may bowl on any teem he may enter with, providing the other members of the team are bona fide members of. the American Bowling Congress, but each individual can enter with but one five man team, one two man team and once in the individual contest of each Congress." salient point of this proposed amendment is that individuals and not clubs become members of the American Bowling Congress, and the cumbersome and unnecessary city bowling associations are done away with, following the lines of the Amateur Athletic Union and the League of American Wheelmen. COMMOTION IN SENATE FILIBUSTER ON THE STATEHOOD BILL IS NARROWLY AVERTED. Washington, Feb.

19. A filibuster by the minority to prevent the majority from forcing immediate action on the statehood ti as narrowly averted in the Senate yterday. It was upon receipt of a message from the House of Representatives, asking for a conference on the statehood bill. Mr. Bever Idge, of Indiana, chairman of the com mittee on territories, moved that the Senate agree to the conference ssked for and that conferees be appointed.

Mr. Gorman, the minority leader, suggested that the bill go over. Mr. Beveridge, Mr Allison and Mr. Lodge in turn objected to delay.

Mr. Gorman thought no good could be accomplished by undue haste. The president pro tern ruled that the request of the House could not be post poned upon a single objection. Mr. Teller pointed out significantly how, if consideration was forced, dif ferent steps could be taken with the statehood bill "to discuss it at great length." Mr.

Foraker, Mr. Cockrell. Missouri and others urged Mr. Beveridge to per mit the message to go over until Mon day. The Senator from Indiana again refused.

"Then," announced the Senator from Ohio, "there will be io action until Monday. We will ask no mor avors and will extend none. We will debate this subject until adjournment." "That's what we will do declared Mr. Teller. Mr.

Nelson, Minnesota, Interrupted to remark that threat of the Senator from Ohio came with bad grace. 'I'm the judge of that," retorted Mr. Koraker. "I have served long enough In the Senate to know what is a rea sonable request. We have made it and it has been denied." The chamber was in commotion.

Mr. Beveridge finally acquiesced and by unanimous consent the request of the House went over until Monday. The agricultural and diplomatic and consular appropriation bills were sent to conference. ANNUAL ENTERTAINMENT EXCELLENT PROGRAM ARRANG ED FOR ST. JAMES LUTHER LEAGUE FOR THURSDAY EVENING.

WALTZING MICE.

Ways off Thcie Cwrlova mmm Interest lnar Little Amlmala. Waltzing mice are curious and Interesting little animals. They are not quite so long as the common gray mouse and much more slender. They are spotted black and white at each end of their bodies and are clear white in the middle. They whirl around on their four feet as if on a pivot, sometimes stop pins and reversing the direction.

Frequently I have seen two or three of them going around together' In a large circle. Although tbey waltz sometimes as long as five minutes without rest, they appear never to get dizzy. Tbey if they choose, run In a straight line, but they seldom do. Instead of running away when disturbed or frightened they begin to waltz. They come out of their nests about sundown and waltz until nearly midnight.

Then tbey go back to their nests to sleep. One of the curious things about them is their fighting. They waltz until they run Into each other, when tbey bite, squeal. Jump into the air and then start waltzing again. They keep this up until they are seriously injured, sometimes having their tails and legs bitten off and their skins torn.

There are several theories as to the reason they can whirl around In this way and yet do not get dizzy. One Is that It Is because of a disease of the brain that they inherit. Cnnidraai.

I had beard that people of that en slaved country were very bitter against the Russian government What was my surprise to hear the members of this family declare that they were perfectly satisfied with their oppressors and bitterly opposed to those who were always fomenting trouble, thus inciting the police to curtail the privileges of the people.

Bertha Tannanjors was one of those light complexioned, bine eyed, flaxen haired beauties who come only out of the north. I had always fancied tropical women, with their black hair and eyes and their Intense natures. Nevertheless I lost my heart to a girl whose disposition seemed as mild as her pink and white cheek and her soft blue eye. I could not but regret that so beautiful a creature should be eff tlrely devoid of spirit. But I was a Pygmalion enamored of a Galatea.

There was life nnder the marble surface, and in time the real human being stepped forth. Bertha yielded a sort of tacit assent to my suit. Of course I was disappointed In this, though' it was in accordance with her character. I would have preferred that she should have thrown me off; so that I might come again till I had conquered her. But girls abroad are expected to accept any suitor their parents approve, and Bertha's, parents not only approved of me, but seemed impatient for our marriage and departure for the United States.

Bertha herself betrayed no preference in the matter. Had I not been Infatuated with her impassive beauty and spirltuelle characteristics I would not have assented to a marriage under such conditions. The wedding took place In a great church at Vlborg. where the family lived, and the usual wedding feast followed. Our arrangements had been made to go the same night down to Cronstadt and thence by sea to Stockholm.

I would have preferred remaining in Vlborg for several days after the ceremony, but Bertha laid this plan for our immediate departure, and In adhering to it I noticed In her the first signs of a will. The wedding supper over, we went upstairs to gather onr hand baggage. Bertha went to a closet to take out the hat and coat she Intended wearing. Suddenly she exclaimed "How unfortunate! I have forgotten to send the Jar of marmalade I intended for a parting gift to Kitty Olbord. I expected to give it to her tonight, but she Is ill and was unable to come.

Never mind; we con call on our way and leave It at her house." She put' the Jar in her satchel, and we went downstairs, bade goodby to family and friends, entered the car rliige and drove first to Kitty Olbord's home. On reaching It I alighted, took the Jar and, going to the door, rang the bell. Instead of a servant a man with very red hair and a very pole face, belonging apparently to the middle class, opened the door, took the Jar and without waiting for my explanations shut the door In my face. Then we drove on to the Btatlon. Early the next morning we left Cronstndt.

We reached Stockholm the following morning and proceeded to a hotel for breakfast. I purchased a morning Journal by the way and, having ordered a breakfast, opened the paper to glance at the news. The first thing I saw under large headlines Was an account of an attempt the day before to assassinate the governor of Finland. A man with a red head and a pale face had secured admittance to his excellency and was about to hnrl at him a glass Jar marked "Marmalade" when his arm was caught by an attendant. The Jar was found to contain nitroglycerin.

"What is it, dear?" asked my wife In her usual mild tone as I showed signs of collapse. At the same time she laid her hand on mine and added, "Courage!" "She had seen the headlines and had read the news quicker than I. "We have failed." she added, "but I have done my part, and you will not be thus Jeopardized again." I looked Into her mild blue eyes, and save a trace' of. disappointment there was no sign of emotion. "Remain here," I said, all of a tremor, "while I go and learn by what conveyance we can get on." "Goodby," she said.

And from the look she gave me for the first time I knew that it would be hard for her to lose me. "I will be back directly," I answered her. And she looked intensely relieved. I learned that a ship would leave In an hour by the Baltic and North seas for Rotterdam, and, returning' to my wife without waiting for breakfast, I led her out to" a carriage, and we were soon aboard the vessel. This put us on the sea again, where the police could not reach us.

At Rotterdam we found a ship just leaving for America ana had barely time to get aboard. Theni I collapsed, for I knew we were safe. I have no desire for the more intense brunette of the south. My wife, who had seen her people crushed by a tyrannical govsVnment, bad it In her tp risk all on what she believed to be a legitimate attempt to assist In freeing them. It was no freak of passion such as would lesd a southern woman to stab a lover, but a conception of duty far above all Individual consideration.

Since her sojourn with me in America my wife has remained tranquil, but since the recent revolt In Russia she has shown signs of Internal Bra, and I am In terror lest she leave me to become a part of the volcano of revolution. F. A. MITCEIKL. FOR DOCTOR OR DENTIST.
