TWO SEPARATE BODIES Are Now in Control of the Colorado State Senate. Denver, Col., Jan. 20.—As a result of the bitter fight in the legislature over the efforts of both parties to unseat certain members, an outcome ot the struggle for United States senator, two separate senatorial bodies are now in session, one presided over by Lieutenant Governor Haggott and composed of nineteen Republicans, a majority, and another presided over, by President pro tern W. H. Adams, a Democrat, and made up of Democrats. The latter have unseated two more Republicans, Messrs. Deck and McDonald. About fifty deputy sheriffs are stationed outside the senate chamber, and they are said to be adherents of the Democrats, ft was rumored that Lieutenant Governor Haggott had telephoned Governor Peabody for troops. This the lieutenant governor denies. The doors leading into the senate chamber and galleries are locked and no one is allowed to pass in or out. “And do you understand,” asked tha Sunday school teacher, "why you pray , for your ‘daily bread?’ " “Oh, yes." replied little Elsie.

MINERS’ DEMANDS They Will Aa|t for 15 Par Cant Increate In Wagea. Indianapolis, Jan. 20.—The annual convention of the United Mine Workera of America is now in full swing. There are more than a Onisand delegates present,* representing every branch of mining Industry. The con-1 vention meets to fix the wage scale the union will demand for the coming year and which will be settled at the , annual conference of miners and operators of the district which begins Jan. 30. The competitive district includes Indiana. Illinois. Ohio and Pennsylvania. The miners endeavor to ascertain the approximate profits of ; the operators and on these base their , demands for increases. It now looks i as if the demand made by this conven- 1 tlon will be from 15 to 20 per cent; This view is strengthened by the advice that President John Mitchell gave , in his annual address today, for the miners to ask for a "substantial in-1 crease." All delegations stand for smaller differentials between pick and machine mining, and for an advance in wages and improved working condl-1 tions for inside and outside workers. | An entertaining feature of the con-1 ventton was the public reception given to President Mitchell at Tomlinson hall last night, which was preceded by a monster labor parade. Among the ; speakers was Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of, Labor. GONZALES DEAD Editor of Columbia State Did Not Survive His Wound. -— — Columbia, S. C., Jan. 20.—After four days of suffering, death came yesterday afternoon to Narcisso Gener Gon zales, editor of the Columbia State, who was shot last Thursday by Lieutenant Governor James H. Tillman. He was unconscious when the end came. His wife, his three brothers, his sister, members of the editorial staff of the State, and surgeons were present. A few minutes after the end came it was known all over Columbia. There is no apparent anger, no display of excitement, but an unnatural quiet is noticeable throughout the city. Soon after the death of Mr. Gonzales a telephone message carried the news to Captain Sligh, the county jailer, and he apprised Colonel Tillman. It is stated that the latter received the intelligence without any expression or betokening any emotion. He was asked if he would make a statement and replied through his brother-in-law, ex-Judge Buchanan, that he had nothing to say. When the news that the end had come was bulletined to Charleston the flags on the buildings of the News and Courier and Charleston Post were at once placed at half mast. Locomotive Boiler Let Go. Albany, N. Y., Jan. 20.—The boiler of a locomotive drawing a freight train on the New York Central rail- • road blew up near Castleton last night and. besides killing Patrick Kenney, engineer, and J.

Anthracite Found in Nebraska. Louisville. Neb., Jan. 20.—A three- ' foot vein of anthracite coal has been found at a depth of 170 feet under rock formation near Louisville.

..... . ...II . « I 1 V't ] OVER AN VMBKELLA " , , Uy C. »■ LCWIS ' ’ I CeDvright. Z9®f. i’ll <> I H> s. n. Mrtture Companif Mr«. Josiah Peabody, wife of Deacon Peabody of the village of Glen ville, had a remarkable umbrella. It bad witnessed the struggle for American independence and had tn ken many journeys by land and water. Ihe ribs had been bent or stove in on numerous ' occasions and the handle broken and glued together half a dozen times. It bad attended funerals, camp meetings, quilting bees, busking frolics and town meetings without number and at the ; age of 120 years was still doing business at the old stand and bolding its own agninst all competition. Mrs. Levi Cantwell, wife of Deacon Cantwell of the same village and living right across the way from Mrs. Peabody, was a remarkable woman, and what more natural than that a re- I markable woman and a remarkable umbrella should adventure together.' Mrs. Cantwell was remarkable in so much that she would never stir out of her house without an umbrella. She i dreaded rain like a cat and, no matter j how clear the day, was always looking : for a sudden downpour. She had an urn- j brella of her own, and it was large . enough to shelter her, but now and then she was forced to lend it or send . It to the shop to be repaired. The day she started to drive over to ! Rawsonville in the deacon’s one horse : wagon was orfe of the occasions when I her umbrella was “not at home.” It : was a beautiful June morning, with ' no rain in sight for a week, but Mrs. | Cantwell didn’t propose to run any I chances. After trying in vain at three or four houses she called upon Mrs. Peabody to lend ber that remarkable old colonial. Her request fairly stunned the owner of the sacred relic and was at first j peremptorily refused, but after considerable discussion, remembering that Mrs. Cantwell had the reputation of being careful handed and tender heart-1 ed, Mrs. Peabody yielded. “You know wnat store I set on It and what store the deacon sets on It." she said as she brought out the blue covered umbrella and dusted it off. “I do,” was the reply, “and you needn’t worry one single bit. You must know what a careful woman I am when you rememlier that I’ve made one set of cups and sassers last me, fourteen years.” Mrs. Cantwell might have driven away with the umbrella raised over; I her head, but as she needed both hands to manage the lines the deacon carefully stowed It away under the seat. Arriving at Rawsonville, the old horse was hitched to a post in front of a store, and Mrs. Cantwell entered to do some “trading.” She was an hour or so about it, and during this interval a stray cow came down the street hunting for something better than bur- 1 docks to sat. She found it when she looked over the tailboard of the wagon and sspied the sacred umbrella. She I had never seen the like of it before, j and th* taste was novel and palatable. i The more she ate the more she want-: ed, and she never stopped until the ’ last inch of cover had been swallowed \ and a vigorous hit unsuccessful effort ‘ made *• devour handle and ribs. Mrs. Cantwell drove home without I having looked under the seat and i realized what a wreck accompanied her. It was only as she reached her own door aad Mrs. Peabody came across the read that the tragedy was discovered. Excuses and apologies and offers to make repairs didn’t go. With the wreck hugged to her bosom Mrs. Peabody retired to her own house, and good will to men flew out of the back door as she entered the front. A quarrel over a broken flatiron mny ! be confined to two neighbors, but a ’ difference of opinion over a remarkable umbrella is a different thing. No one ■ charged Mrs. Cantwell with deliberate-; ly bringing about the wreck, but she J was blamed for not keeping one eye on hungry cows outside the store while she bad the other on seven cent calico ■ inside. She knew the associations and sentiments surrounding that relic, and sooner than submit it to peril she; should have hired a boy to watch it. The pros and eons were discussed at; every fireside in the village, and of' course a feeling of bitterness was en-1 gendered. In less than a week neighbors who had always borrowed sugar and tea of each other were refusing to lend, and back gates were being nailed up. Deacon Peabody was a good man. So was Deacon Cantwell. Together they had passed the contribution boxes in church and counted up the receipts after the sermon. They had worked out their road tax side by side and had stood elbow to elbow in temperance crusades and town improvements. That long friendship was now broken. After looking at the dilapidated umbrella for the fiftieth time Deacon Peabody bad said to his neighbor: “Deacon Cantwell, I never dunned a man in my life, but you owe me 50 cents." “I do, and here it is,” replied Deacon Cantwell, “and I’m free to say I think you are a mean man.” “I don't want any words with you.” “Nor I with you.” “You'll take your hoss out of my pasture!” “And you’ll keep your hogs outer my garden!” The minister naturally heard of the rise and fall of the remarkable umbrella, and. although he refused to become an adherent of either side, he felt it his duty to touch upon the affair from his pulpit. He didn’t mention tbe um-

brella by name, nor was be too hart upon tbe hungry cow. He «lldn t hint that Mrs. Cantwell was careless ar Mrs Peabody impetuous, and the meet lug between the deacons was passed over entirely. He simply found a Biblicnl parallel and worked It up for tbe benefit of both sides, and the result Ml moat wrecked the church. For the next three months there was moae backbiting In tbe village than shouM have lieen heard of in ten counties, and there wene no signa of u let ig> when incident stepped in to restore peace. One day Deacon Penbody s wife went up into the garret to overhaul on trunk. The place needed airing, and she raißcd a window. A hand organ was playing down the street, and she held up the sash with one hand and leaned out to see and to bear. Next thing she knew she was hanging bead downward on the outside of tbe bouse, while tbe sasb rested on ber ankles and held ber fast. Deacon Cantwell's wife was sewlag carpet rags in her sitting room when a series of shrieks lifted her out of her chair and propelled her to the front door. For a few seconds she was over come by the sight opposite. Then aba made p run for It, and two minutes later she wns in the Pealxxly garret. Colonial umbrellas, hungry cows and th* tongue of gossip were forgotten as ahe tugged and pulled at the hanging btw den. When it was finally drawn baek over the window sill, both women faint ed away and tangled up with each oth er, and Silav Goodheart, who had heaod the last shrieks and come running, stood over them with uplifted hands and said: "Now let the heathen rage, for uar brellas is nowhar, and peace is restored to Glenville forevermore!” Modern Manner®. Somebody has discovered that the decadence in modern manners does net ' necessarily denote our increased bru tality or absolute indifference to the feelings and needs of other people. 1« is balm to the soul to be assured of thia ; fact, says the Atlanta Journal. We have admitted to ourselves for some time past that our manners have not the repose which should mark the caste of Vere de Vere and that we are Indeed frankly discourteous to eaoii ! other. We also know that many men are no longer particular how they act or what they say in tbe presence of women and do not even observe the small courtesies of life where members of the opposite sex are concerned. Mtsi no longer hesitate to let a woman waUt on them or to push her aside in a crowd or to smoke in her face unapolu getically, as if that were their natural right. We certainly are less polished ! and ceremonious than were our fore , fathers. I Facing this fact it Is pleasing to fie assured that the change is not due t* selfishness, but Is simply the expression of our desire to be honest, to avoM shams. Therefore if we sometlmea overstep the limit and cultivate unpleasant freedom of speech and action manifest unrestrained rudeness, we are to be excused on the ground of our excessive frankness and honesty. Tried to Improve Hi* Name. The old lady who admired her pastor because he said "Mesopotamia” bo j beautifully has been outdone by a Broadway office boy. He was not pleased with the sur name of Mulligan, to which he was condemned, and so when he applied far a new position in another office he decided to give himself a new name, and for this purpose borrowed what he thought was a name from the financM ; statements which he bad to sort and i file In the office in which be was last employed. “What is your name?” inquired the clerk to whom he made application fbr work. “William Recapitulation," replied the : boy. “That's a funny name,” said thecleMt after be had the boy repeat it several i times. "Don’t you know General Recapitulation?” nsked the boy In surprise. “Never heard of him.” “Why. his name is in all Blank & ; Co.’s Wall street reports.”—New York Times. She Got Up a Blunb. A contributor to a Boston paper says that he always thought until recently that the blushing cheeks of n bride were a certain indication of either her em j barrasstnent or her abounding health He was disabused of this opinion by j what he saw at a wedding the other day. The wedding party was in the vestibule, all ready to proceed to the ai tar, awaiting the wedding march. He noticed that the bride was very pate, and the bridesmaid noticed it about tbe same time and proceeded to take tbe bride’s cheeks between her thumbs and fingers and give them a good, hand pinching. Under this process they soon showed a good color, whereupon the bridesmaid carefully performed the same operation on herself, and they proceeded with glowing cheeks to tie altar.
