LEGISLATIVE DOINGS. TWO DAYS’ DEBATE ON THE NICHOL-

SON BILL.

Frlenrla of the Meannre Out In Force. Mr. Nicliol«on Proves Iliinsplf a Good General —Review *>f the Work Accomplished During the Week. [Special Corresiwndcnce.l Indianapolis, Fob. 26. — The most interesting event of the past week, and possibly the most interesting of the session up to date, was the two days’ fight on the Nicholson bill in the house. The friends of the bill had gathered in their forces from all over the state, and when the debate opened the lobbies were simply packed and jammed. Ministers from other cities had left their Hocks for a day or two and were occupying seats on the floor by the side of their members. In the galleries and in the lobbies were women and women and women. The bill was up for second reading, and it was feared that efforts would be made to amend it to death. The friends of the bill stood like a solid phalanx, and young Mr. Nicholson suddenly developed into the real leader of the house. Notwithstanding the fact that he talks in a terribly monotonous, sing-song way, he was listened to with attention whenever he took the floor. Evidently he had put in Any amount of hard study on the bill and prepared himself thoroughly on parlimentary practice. The opponents of the measure found him “loaded for bear” and armed at every point. He t<H)k things coolly and good naturedly, did not get flustered or excited and came out of the fight in good shape. Considering the fact that amendments were offered to every single clause of the bill, it came out of the two days’ struggle much less mangled than many expected. In fact, none of its vital points were touched except the modification of the local option section. As this now stands it requires a remonstrance against each applicant, instead of permitting one remonstrance to shut out all saloons for two years. Mr. Holloway of Evansville rather assumed the leadership of the opposition at the start, but he was too frank in announcing himself as an opponent of the bill. It was soon apparent that the friends of the bill were largely in the majority and that they were willing to do just about as Mr. Nicholson might say. Therefore, though Mr. Holloway made two or three brilliant speeches, his amendments were squelched one by one. The man who was more effective than anybody else in amending the bill

The house concurred in the senate amendments to the firemens’ iien.sion fund bill ami the bill went to the governor. On Tuesday the senate s)>cnt the day wrangling ou the Newby bill to cut off the expense fund in building and loan associations and finally recommitted the .bill. The house passed the Wishard legislative apportionment bill. The Nicholson bill was then taken np in the committee of the whole and discussed until nearly 5 o’clock. At that hour the soldiers' home bill was passed under suspension of the rules, with an appropriation of $75,000. The senate con- ! curred in this amendment and the bill has since been signed by the governor. Ou Wednesday the house spent the | day discussing and amending the Nicholson bill. After it finished, the sec- I tions making it a misdemeanor for per- 1 sons to lie seen going in or coming out of a saloon at unlawful hours and punishing a minor for being found about a saloon at any time were stricken out and the local option feature was so modified as to require remonstrance against each applicant for license, the senate got down to business and passed 37 minor bills. On Thursday, the day that ex-Q-ov-ernor Gray’s remains were lying in state in the capitol, the legislature was in session but an hour and transacted no business of importance. On Friday the session lasted but half I the day and the senate spent its time on j committee reports. The house passed these bills: The senate bill providing | for a superior court in Madison county, which now goes to the governor for his signature: tin* remodeling the libel law, which hits also passed both houses and : goes to the governor; the house bill to j amend the road law so that commissioners may purchase a toll road without ! holding an election; the bill to create a new judicial circuit for Vanderburg county; the bill to regulate appeals to I the supreme and appellate courts; the | bill to compel insurance companies to ! make more detailed statements to the auditor of state. On Saturday with a small attendance the house advanced several measures, most of which were unimportant. In both branches bills were introduced i placing state penal and benevolent institutions on a civil service basis. In the senate several new bills were intro-

duced. -*#*—

The joint resolution for a constitutional convention has passed the house and | will probably pass the senate. It must j pass another legislature before such a | convention can be called. While there j are some strong reasons against such a move, there are also some strong reasons urged on the other side. One of the worst features of the present organic

[Special Correspondence.] New York, Feb. 21.—It is n matter for sincere congratulation to know that there is to be quite a movement toward draped skirts in spring dresses. The godet and organ plaited skirts will still tie fashionable for the whole season, but they aro better adapted for street wear than for home, and so many of the newest and prettiest home diesses are iiiiulo with moro or less drapery.

any amendment he might offer by de clari ug that he was a friend of the bill and wanted it passed in such shape that it would stand upon the statute books in spite of future efforts to repeal it or

overthrow it in the courts.

The most exciting incident of the de-

bate was when Andrew Jackson, the , ., , . member from Carroll, declared in the ‘he house has passed a

upon the indebtedness of cities. There is scarcely a growing city in the state that has not been greatly hampered in its efforts toward self improvement by

this clause,

midst of a vehement speech that there tlon offered by Mr. Leedy providing for was a barrel of whisky in the basement a hue of $6 per day against such rnernof the statehouse free of access to the hers as are absent without leave, members. There was wild and pro- —*#*— longed applause in the galleries and One of the ont county members surmuch confusion on the floor, which in- ! prised the house a little the other day

creased when Jackson declared that the whisky hud been placed there by the lienor leagues to influence legislation. W hen quiet was restored an investigating oommittee was appointed to find ont what nearly everybody already knew— namely, that an employe of the statehonse has lor years kept a bottle of whisky in his room in the basement and has frequently invited members down

to take a drink.

Some of the ministers who lobbied on the floor for the bill were a little bit wild in their enthusiasm and anxiety. It was even necessary to station doorkeepers on the floor to keep them from joining in the viva voce votes that were

taken.

It Wmld make the hair of some of the constituents of senators stand on end if tiiey could see the reckless fashion in which business is occasionally pushed through the senate. One afternoon last week over 30 measures were passed, ami it was more by good luck than intent that none of them were bad bills. Not more than half the senators were in their seats more than two minutes at a time, and more than half of those who voted aye on the various measures knew nothing about them, but took some other senator’s word for it that they were all right. While the senate thus hustles business, in a seemingly wreckless fashion at times, the house goes to the other extreme and all signs point to i a congestion of legislation in this branch durimr the l-i-'t few day* of the session, which are now almost here Ther' 1 ii 1 much oi a lU.'posilion to discuss in minute detail every proposition that comes before the house. ■ - i By all odds the largest lobby that has been in attendance upon the legislature has b.>en the ouilding and loan lobby, composed of the officers or agents of the various associations that are opposed to having the expense fund abolished, and they have been doing effective work, i But a sudden surprise was sprung upon them in the house Wednesday night. They had succeeded in killing the Stotsenberg bill in the corporations commit- > tee and the committee had reported back a substitute bill to which the asso- ; ciations had no serious objection. This bill came up on second reading at the Wednesday evening session, when there did not happen to be one of the building and loan lobbyists present. Mr. Remv offered as a substitute the original Stotseuberg bill and it was sent through to third reading with such sad- \ denness us to make one’s head swim.

—*«*-

During the past week the legislature has made considerable progress. The fate of all political legislation has been determined, and it now remains to put it through, along with the rest of the legislation that is in hand. It looks now as though there would be a good den! of congestion, particularly in the house, when the last days come. On Monday the senate determined the fate of the county superintendent’s bill by voting upon it favorably. The house | passed these bills: By Mr. Harris, proadding for the teaching of the effects of )

by announcing that some method ought to be adopted to “expediate” business.

—***—

They are telling another story upon Mr. Howe, the gentleman from Morgan, to the effect that he had prepared a magnificent speech of two hours' length upon a pending measure and waited for a chance to deliver it. Upon inquiry, he discovered that it had been killed upon adverse committee report a week

before.

One of the chief difficulties in expediting business lies in inattention of members. This was very sharply illustrated in the house a few days ago when a bill to amend the charter of an old life insurance company came up and passed by an almost unanimous vote. There was only one man in the house opposed to the bill, and as soon as it had passed he moved a reconsideration and attacked the bill on the grounds that it had been slipped through without the members knowing what they were voting for. Every member knew that this latter claim was strictly true, and it frightened them when their attention was called to it. They immediately grew suspicious of the bill and killed it on the spot, while as a matter of fact the measure contained nothing vicious and had they fully understood its purport they would probably have passed it. There has probably been less polities on uie ttoor ot the house this year than during <i»>j st-sr.ion in the last hciade. Tlie Democratic minority is not large, but it has in it some excellent men and they 1.... I iukc II the tact iimt is likely TO be the most successful—that is, they seek to avoid partisan lines in the discussion of any and all subjects. Thus they are usually given just as full and favorable hearing by the house as the members of the Republican side.

—***—

Pretty girls in the lobby invariably cause a commotion in the house or senate. There are a dozen members of either branch who will drop any business they have in hand to obtain an introduction to a pretty girl. Chairman Allen of The ways and means committee has proven himself one of the able and industrious members of the house. He worked almost night and day for three weeks in gathering the data to prepare the general appropriation bill, and in this time he bus probably become as well posted upon the financial affairs of the various state institutions as any man in the state. Mr. Allen talks very little on the floor of the house, and by the same token ho is usually listened to with attention when he does talk.

The spirit toward the newspapers in this session is 10 times as liberal as it was two years ago. This was amply demonstrated when the senate passed the Shively bill by a vote of to and the 28 votes did not include two of the three editors of the senate. They happened to be out when the bill was called up. U NO.

norsE dress. ly lifted or drawn across the front to break the stiffness. 1 noticed a very handsome prune cloth gown, with slashed panels, two on the sides and the other in front, the last six inches wide at the bottom and narrowed to a point at the waist line. The others at the sides were eight inches wide at the bottom, and they tapered to two inches at the top. The panels wore of very heavy corded silk. The waist had the upper part of the sleeves made very full, of tho silk, and a simulated Eton jacket with a full vest front. Tho full vest front drooping heavily in the middle of the front is very much liked and often seen, and it goes well with the draped skirts. Tho apron and wrinkled drapery, and the pcplum overskirt are very frequently seen in tho new spring gowns. One very neat and pleasing dress for a young lady was of a dark chestnut twilled serge of tho soft variety. The skirt was drawn up over the hips so that it fell in several broken folds. There was a beaded belt, and tho waist, which was made in tho drooping blouse plaits,was caught upon the shoulder in pinafore fashion with the sharp velvet bows, and tho sluulders were bordered with the bended gimp. Beneath these points there wap a dark green velvet waist, with wrinkled gigot sleeves and a draped stock of the velvet. This pinafore effect has been presented in several gowns for young ladies, and it is always pretty and girlish. Tho Russian blouse in all its varieties is still a favorite, and so is a blouse made with Norfolk plaits. These are stitched to the outside of tho material of tho waist and end under the belt The new underskirts aro exceptionally pretty. Tho white ninslin ones are very dainty, with linen lawn ruffles, headed by several rows of fine tucks and insertion. These ruffles often show two and three lace ones sewed upon one lawn ruffle. Tho lace is either real torchon or Valenciennes. Tho silken skirts are of crisp taffetas, or soft Insterless silks, which make no noise. Tho taffetas aro plain, shaded, striped, changeable, and often figured. Tho skirt lias one pinked ruffle under tho hem and one over it, each five inches deep. Falling over this is a deeper ruffle, edged with a very full narrow one. Tbeouter ruffle is plaited at tho top, and tho narrow ones aro shirred on, which arrangement makes a fall and elegant effect. Tho ruffles aro arranged so that all the edges are the same length, and all show. For comfortable underwear tho crocheted woolen skirt is considered the nicest. It is very light, and sits close to tho figure, affording warmth and elasticity. The upper portion is done in very loose pattern, so as to take up tho least room over tho hips. 1 saw today some new black woolens f • . surfaces with ill plain, ' nf the-- “ v: ones have the same sort of twill, with the addition of multitudes of tiny woven figures c.f every ininginable kind Tiiooo goods are spoken ot us soleil of-
