Indian sectarian schools was the subject jot threo hours’ acrimonious discussion in ■tine House on the Ist. The Indian appropriation bill was the measure under consideration, and the immediate cause of the tllacusslon was the section making appropriation for the Carlisle Indian school. Tho bill was passed. Mr. McMililin, of Tennessee, reported the free wool bill, which was referred to the committee Of the whole. Mr Bryan, of Nebraska, and Mr. Turner, of Georgia, respectively, from the same commit ee, reported trills for the free entry of binding twine and cotton bagging and ties, which were referred to the committee of the whole, and leave was granted to Mr. Payne of New York, and Mr. Palzell of Pennsylvania, to present the views of the minority on the measure. In the Srnate. after the Ifcransactlon of routine business the Idaho .•lection case was taken up and Mr. Sanders addressed the Senate in defense of Mr. Claggett’s right to tho seat Mr. Morgan made a legal and constltunal argument •gainst the right of Mr. Dubois to occupy • seat Jn the Senate.

Beeelver Steel Running Street Cars at Indianapolis. The Indianapolis streel-c ir strike has •ow assumed a curious phase. Tl.e coup Of the strikers In securing the appointment of W. T. Steel as receiver has resulted In getting tho mattqf Into a beautifully complicated legal mess. Steel was for twenty years superintendent of tho road, and Is ■ow at personal enmity with President Vkenzel. so that tho friends of the strikers •re jubilant. The receiver was able to gain ponces lon of only one barn, and from this he etnrted twelve cars, manned by strikers, which were received with wild checr3 and were decorated with flags. Later a procession of 2,000 laborers paraded tho streets headed by the street car brotherhood and ware received with cheers en route. The Mcoet car company tried to evade the recelvenhlp by taking an appeal to the general Session, which. If gr; nted. would have vacated the receivership, but tho plaintiff, Flshback, charged tho company with contempt In refusing to surrender Its barns.

At a meeting of the local committee of the Prohibition party at St. Louis Monday nirht It was decided that the city would waly contribute fI.OCO for the National Prohibition Convention. The National Conisnlttee asks 85,000, but the sum is considered exorbitant, and the local sentiment Is that if the National Committee Is not satiated with the offer of 81.000 they are at liberty to hold the convention where they please. It is said that Cincinnati has guaranteed $5,000. Age Didn’t Add to His Price. Charles F.

England, I feel assured, will do Its part toward making good silver money and to command the confidence of the peoplo of the leading nations, and Germany and France should do their part. The United States will certainly do Its share toward bringing about an international conference. It is impossible for any one nation to stem the current alone.” M’KINLEY ACT VALID. Its Constitutionality Is Upheld by the Federal Supreme Court. The McKinley act was declared constitutional and Speaker Heed's rulings upheld by the United States Supremo Court- The court split on the tariff opinion, which was rendered by Justice Harlan. Tho cases on which tho decisions wero based were those of Marshall Field of Chicago, and of New York merchants, who protested against the payment of dutios on certain woolen dress goods and other importations on the ground that the McKinley hill was not a legal and constitutional enactment by reason of the omission from the enrolled bill of the tobacco rebate clause, agreed to In conference and contained In the bill when it passed beth houses. Tho court also holds that the reciprocity and sugar bounty sections of the bill are constitutional. It was contended that the reciprocity section was unconstitutional because it delegated legislative power to tho executive. Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Lamar dissentod from the opinion of tho court. The Suprorne Court also decided In the worstsd schedule Case of Tho United States vs. Ballin, Joseph & Co., from the Circuit Court of New York, that the law is valid. The decision upholds the power of tho Speaker of the House to count aquorum under the rules of the last House.

MOB RULE IN BERLIN. Thousands of Unemployed Workmen Demand Redress. Berlin was shaken to Its center Thursday afternoon, aud for a time it looked as though the horrible scenes of the French revolution were to be re-enacted In the German capital A mob of thousands of dissatisfied workmen, led by social agitators, marched to the very gatos of the castle, s*e*irrgthe “Marseillaise” and denouncing the government and their employers. Tho bitter feeling of the masses against the Emperor and those who would drive out of Gerrnnny or “grind to powder” all those who oppose him, has steadily growing and spreading throughout tho empire. The police charged the rioters and after taking from eighty to a hundred prisoners, allowed the remainder to escapo, though small bands were chased down the side streets and dispersed. The sixty to seventy wounded rioters who remained upon the Hold were attended to at a neighboring hospital, and tho prisoners were placed under 1 ck and key.

WILL ALTER THE BILL. Senator Washburn to Amend His AntiOption Measure, The anti-option bills Of Washburn and Hatch will probably be reported about the middle of next month. The Senate I 111 will, so Senator Washburn said, be amended to permit of legitimate trading In futures. He said that he had so promised the grain dealers and he would certainly keep his word, although ho could not see anything In the bill as originally introduced to prevent such dealing. As tho grain dealers thought different, however, ho would substitute a clause about which there will not be the slightest ambiguity of phrase. All he wants, ho says, is to stop gambling, and in his mind no legitimate dealer in futures need havo cause for fear. Mr. Hatch, when asked If he would, as reported, advocate the substitution of the Washburn bill, when amended, for bis own bill, which had aroused so much opposition among the greatest grain dealers of the world, leplled that he did not know, but tho probabilities were that he would not INDIANA’S £RETNA GREEN.

At Fort Dodge, lowa, the First National Bank of Grand Haven, Mich., was defeated for the fifth time in the District Court In an attempt to collect notes given by farmers in payment for a patent right snap. Although the notes were In the hands of an Innocent purchaser, no jury has yet been found which will enforce their collection. The makers of the notes claim that they were obtained under false pretenses. Discontent In Brazil. The British steamer Cyril, from Northern Brazil, brings news that great dissatisfaction prevails among the people at Manao3. On Jan. 31 a boat’s crew from one of the Brazilian men-of-war went ashore and had a skirmish with the soldiers, during which two sailors and one soldier were killed and several wdfanded. Shot Hlmsell by Accident. At Greencastle, lod., Jacob Bicknell, a prominent citizen and carriage manufacturer. accidentally shot himself in the abdomen with a shotgun, dying a few minutes later. He was 5? years of age. Free Silver Stock Rising. The stock of the free silver men is higher, •ays a Washington dispatch. Tho leaders of the Democracy here are plainly scared. Speaker Crisp himself among them. Mr.

Crisp Is a free silver man, but he deems It l most inexpedient and dangerous to pass a free silver bill before the national election. He has been unable to stem the tide aud at the same time preveut a split. He D understood to regard tho passing of a # freo silver bill as now Inevitable unless some new Influence is brought to bear on Bland and his follsfers. This new iuliueuco the antis will diligently seek. WHISKY MEN IN LIMBO. Arrested lor Violation of tho Sherman Anti-Trust Law. The Federal Grand Jury, at Boston, has Indicted all of the officials and directors of the Cattle Feeding and Distilling Company, better known as the Whisky Trust, for violation of the Sherman anti-trust law, and United States Marshal Hitchcock’s deputies are engaged in serving warrants for tne arrest of tbo Indicted men. Those included in the Government drag-net are as follows: Joseph B. Greenhut. of Peoria, President of the trust; Herbert L. Terrell, of New York, Vice President and Director; William N.

Mr. Habercht, a revivalist, came from Kansas and has since conducted meetings, which havo been attended by crowds every night. The other day the preacher was met on the street by Alexander Campbell, who at once proceeded to thrash him In the most approved style. It seems that the preacher had attempted undue familiarity with Mrs. Campbell and she had told her husband. Habercht Is badly injured and Campbell is under arrest.

Favor* an Appropriation. Tho President has sent in a special motsago to Congress on tho World’s Fair, accompanied by the reports of tbo World's lair Commission. He strongly eommends the progress of the work, saying that from 85,000,000 to 88,000,000 more seem necessary, but declines to make specific recommendation because or want of data. Ho declares, however, that liberality on the part of the United States is due to tho foreign governments who had so generously responded. Bt. Louis Must Put Up. The Prohibitionists of St. Louis, according to a dispatch from that city, have been notified by their national executive committee that as a precedent to the national convention going there on June 29 they must bo assured of the sum of 82,500 to help defray expenses.

THE GAMUT OF GASTRONOMY RUN BY STATESMEN. Secret* of the Restaurant—Solons Who Live on Bread and Mllk-Dtstlngnlshed Politicians Who Regale Themselves on Turkey—The Pork and Bean Eaters. Senatorial Snacks.

No self-respecting Senator ever allows his knife to get within a foot of his jugular. Members of the House may, perhaps, elevate their pork and beans to the mouth level without the assistance of a fork, but the dignified Senator never permits the glittering steel greater altitude than the third button on his vest. The day for eating with your knife was cut short by that happy invention—the four-pronged fork. Popular interest in Senators increases in a greater ratio than does the number of those more or less distinguished legislators. The thousands of visitors who daily tramp through and around and about the Capitol delight in prying into the senatorial existence; they occupy the Senate floor until removed by the opening of the session and the energy of several omployes; they survey Senators from the galleries and criticise their respective and generally respectable appearance; they peep through halfopened committee-room doors and reach the apex of the tourist's bliss when they behold a Senator engaged in the consumption of food. “He’s eatin’ raw oysters,” said a stranger to his wife tho other day. The couple had, from afar, followed one of the Senators who represent their State, to the Senate restaurant. The male tourist watched tho alleged legislator commence feeding, and then reported to the waiting but equally curious female. The Senate restaurant is an interesting place. Business does not really commence until noon, but for half an hour thereafter there is no rush. Then

J. O. CARLISLE

comes the crowd of hungry ones, and from 12:30 until after two o’clock the waiters hardly have time to perspire. Every table has its quota of occupants, and the string t f humanity that leans up against the long counter is tolerably continuous. It is a good place to find almost any lost one, whether Senate or Senator employe, to say nothing of the liberal sprinkling of newspaper men who hurry in and out, combining the hasty pleasure of eating with tho business of gathering information. To feed all these hungry ones Mr. Page has to employ about thirty people—twelve of them in the kitchen—and they all have reasonable opportunity to 4arn their recompense. Three dusky retainers attend to {he customers at the lunch counter, transmit orders of waiters to the kitchen and hand, out the tangible responses. Of these James Lewis is chief. He is invariably designated “Lewis,” and he probably would not know that he .was being spoken to if otherwise addressed. His business-liko silence is as marked as his businesslike ability. But it was not the average luncher th§t a \Vashington Star reporter became interested in. He had both eyes on Senators and on the men who do their bidding in the private diningrooms—from Head Waiter Dick Shaw, portly, suave and eolidy respectable, down to the latest of Mr. Pfcge’s appointees. There is abroad in the land a vague Impression to the effect that Senators subsist principally on terrapin and champagne. It may be necessary to state that this impression is erroneous. Senators eat just about as do other men whose circumstances are on about the same financial lovel—they seem to have in them a great deal of human nature. More democratic, broadly speaking, and more simple in his stomachic uppetite than any other Senator is Senator

Coke of Texas. He is a regular caller at the restaurant, but when he does put In an appearance his invariable desire is for pie—pi«3:e of pie and a glass of water. He might enjoy these life sustainers In the comparative privacy of the senatorial rooms, but he prefers to stand right up against the counter and there wash down large chunks of highgrade pie with the assistance of clear spring water. Senator Blair used to do the same thing, but he did it regularly and perhaps a little more stylishly: he always drank milk with his pie and the pie was either apple or custard. Many a good news paragraph has the author and finisher of the education bill given •way while rubbing elbows with a newspaper oorrespoudent «t that restaurant

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

> UT a knifo to thy throat if thou be a man given to appetite,” said Solomon. Some of the people who live in this year of grace do not think the advice good. Neither suicide nor eating with a kni f e i s good form in these ; days. It must be evident even to the casual visitor at the Senate restaurant that the wise man was not addressing his remarks to United States Senators.

FELTON LIKES PORK AND BEANS.

counter. Mr. Blair’s departure from the Senate leaves Senator Coke in undisputed possession of that counter. But there are good feeders in the Senate and the kinds of luncheon they daily dispose of could not be served on the counter. Perhaps the most consistently “good” are Senators McMillan, Washburn. Hoar and Squire. McMillan and Washburn generally lunch together, and they eat steaks and chops and salads and such like solid goods. Senator Squire believes in the same sort of food. Senator Hoar once excited much popular commiseration by stating that codfiish was his staple article of diet. That may be the main source of his nutriment at home, but in the Senate his tendencies are toward tarrapin or broiled oysters; • none of the waiters ever heard him mention codfish. Blackburn’s favorite dish is deviled ham. Teller manages to. get along very nicely with a modicum of cold tongue or corned beef. Sawyer-is devoted to custard pie and milk; he likes a liberal sprinkling of cheese with his pie. Another lover of pie is Wilson; the variety is apple, and it must be hot. Frye believes broiled oysters to be satisfactory, but Stanford prefers lamb chops or calves’ liver and bacon. Fulton is very fond of pork and beans. Sanders, like nearly all the other Northwestern Senators, consumes oysters; he likes them raw—the rawer the better. Davis lives well; sirloin steaks are his weakness. Manderson is also properly fed; oysters are a specialty, and a chafing dish stew is the

favorite. Hawley consumes oysters. Allison thrives on graham bread toast and a pot of tea. Hale wants a bowl of custard and a glass of milk. Gorman figures out the moves on the national <hess beard while disposing of cold turkey. Harris has an affec'.ion for oysters that have been broil d. Vance eats but little. He is satisfied generally with a sandwliich, a glass of milk and, sometimes, an apple. Faulkner devout s the raw oyster; Blodgett, the sirloin steak. Cockrell is an infrequent visitor. He eut3 the simplest fare. MoPhersbn is very regular on baked apple dumpling. Dawes delights in a corned bo of sandwich and a glass of milk. Do’ph wants, and gets, broiled oysters and custard pie. Mitchell loves oyster stew, Proctor eats oysters. So does Kyle. Palmer favors lamb chops. Bnee leins toward oyster patties. Colquitt lias three menus. Sometimes his choice is cold turkey, sometimes corned beds, sometimes a glass of milk and a bowl cf custard. Bansom is of opinion that nothing is so good as quail on toast. Vico President Morton strengthens the inner man with raw or broiled oysters at times; occasionally ho is satisfied 'with a piece of pie and a glass of milk. Sherman is a pie arid milk enthusiast, but once in a while he tries raw oysters. Hill has been absent from the city most of the time since he left the gubernatorial chair at Albany; he has been in the restaurant, however, and his preference so far seems to bo for cold turkey and a pot of coffee. Keen-witted political prophets may do well to note the fact that Gorman and Hill both eat cold turkey—turkey th it might properly be termed “stuffed.” Jones of Nevada swears by broiled black bass. B6rry likes broiled oysters. Cameron has to have the largest raw oysters that are available; occasionally he partakes of a chafing-dish stew. Quay, like Gorman and Hill, is all right when supplied with cold trukey and cos-

fee. Stoskbridge can get along very nicely on pie and milk, with broiled oysters for a change once or so in a week. Power is an oyster man. Higgins consumes baked appl s and cream. Wolcott keeps up his avoirdupois on hot roast turkey and broiled oysters. Casey smiles through (he day with the help of raw or broiled oysters. Chilton, too, likes raw oysters. Shoup is a firm believer in the virtues of bread and milk. Dubois likes cold tongue or cold roast beef. Carlisle, who has not been around very much this session, is enamored of chops. Voorhees is a light eater; a sandwich is his average. White wants porterhouse steak and is supplied.*^

George indulges in broiled oysters and a glass of milk. Walthall is another oyster lover, and Warren and Carey are lilce-minded. Stewart pays Cashier Birn?for a stew or a reasonable quantity of either corned beef or roast beef, cold; he drinks a pot of tea. Oyster stew is Turpic’s favorite beverage. Paddock devotes himself to raw oysters or to baked apples with cream. Chandler lives well; a chafing-dish stew suits his coinplaint most days; occasionally he prefers a bowl of bread and milk. Pettigrew does not starve; he eats steak or chops. Hiscock is not a regular luneher; when he does go, down he rarely eats anything but a bowl of bread and milk. Platt is a regular boarder; he, too, likes bread and milk, but not always; sometimes it is a bowl of custard or a select stew. Daniel eats raw oysters. So does Perkins. Likewise Vest. When Vest wants raw oysters he eats them at the oyster counter. When his appetite is not oyster struck he goes into the private diningroom and waits while a cook broils a large slice of cold roast beef. Veryfew of the Senators eat dessert when their luncheon is of the solid sort; very few of them have ladies to lunch with them.

GIVEN OVER TO MOBS.

INDIANAPOLIS RULED BY A BAND OF STRIKERS. Policemen In able to Restrain the Men— Cars Prevented from Running—Drivers and Conductors Brutally Beaten and Many Officers Injured. Culmination of the Strike. The culmination of the street .car strike was a disgraceful day in the mstory of Indianapolis. Mobs at several times had substantial possession of the streets. Men and women encouraged scenes and acts of violence, and a woman displayed amid the crowd a brickred flag, flaunting it about her head, and then hastily concealing it in the drapery about her breast. The street car strike began a week before because of a refusal by the president of the oompany to advance the wages of employes. Several mornings attempts were made to start the cars, but the strikers interfered, and the cars were pushed back into the barns. The Mayor took the position that ho would not afford police protection until he was assured that the company had men to properly run the cars. He received such assurances and the police appeared to aid the company. No attempt was made to run the electric cars. All efforts were concentrated on the horse cars. One hundred strikers met one ear at the Grand Opera House. Here a desperate encounter occurred with the police, and when it reached Washington street, the main thoroughfare, the mob had increased in numbers to 1,000. Slowly it made its way a few squares farther, where at ieast 6,000 people! Bad gathered. Prominent among its numbers was a burly negro, who was foremost in trying to stop the car. The officers laid hold of him to place him under arrest. With a maddening yell the crowd sprang upon the officers, and the negro was wrenched from their grasp. Police Superintendent Colbert headed a detail for his recapture. They waded into the crowd, mowing right and left with their clubs. Crash! and a big, heavy board, wielded by one of the crowd, descended upon tjie Superintendent’s head. Another crash, and Capt. Dawson was nearly felled to the ground by a brick, which struck him on the head, being thrown from an up-stairs window. Such actions as these precluded all possibility of further leniency. Superintendent Colbert pulled a revolver from each pocket and pointod their muzzles into the faces of the surging mass of people. Slowly the mob parted, and the negro was recaptured. No sooner was this accomplished than the crowd made a rush for the man who was attempting to drive the car. “Hang the sffeb!” “Over with the car!” “Knock out of him!" and similar, expressions filled the air. In an instant he was pulled over the dashboard, while several men belabored him over the head. The police charged, and again the bricks began to fly. One brick struck Capt. paweon in the middle of the back, doubling him up with pain, while a striker’s fist landed beside his nose. Another missile struck Patrolman Settle beside the head, cutting his helmet and clear through to the skin. But Patrolman Smith fared worst of all. A big stone struck him just under his helmet on the back of the head, ripping open the scalp and hair and laying bare the bone. After severe fighting the crowd was dispersed and quieted. Smith was carried away by an ambulance. -

Not over five minntes after the crowd had quieted down some one yelled “There goes one on Meridian street,” and away went the crowd. There were two cars there guarded by a handful of police. The crowd swooped down upon them like birds of prey on their victims. It was of no use that the officers clubbed and pounded. The men’s heads seemed made of iron. In- a trice they had the mules unhitched, and -with yells they pushed the cars into the gutter. A large crowd of men and boys were standing upon an improvised scaffolding of boards. Into this the car was pushed, and the structure came down with its load of humanity, and the air was filled with cribs of fear. Luckily no one was hurt beyond a few bruises. The other car was backed west on Maryland street until it stuck in the mud, and there it stood. Both had their windows smashed, and more than one striker and policeman will wear knots on their heads for the next few days. In another part of the city two women boarded a car, rushed to the driver, threw their arms around his neck, and then gave him a terrible beating. An officer rescued him, but the women got away! In one case the mules were unhitched, and then were stampeded, while the car was derailed. Many arrests were made, but bonds were promptly furnished in all cases. Finally all attempts to run the cars were abandoned. The Mayor stands firm by his latest decision, and will again afford all the profiection to the company within his power. He said: “This is a very sad business, and all we have to do is to unite for peace. There is not a word of truth in tho statement that there was any pressure brought to bear on me to order out the police as soon as Mr. Frcnzel had men enough to operate his cars. When the strikers’ advisory committed called on me the other day I told Ahem the same thing. They asked me to say nothing about it, and I did not. This morning the time was ripe. I was informed that plenty of men were in readiness to start the cars, and upon advice from the Board of Public Safety we dedided to call out the police. My every effort will be to quell the riot, and if I am to be censured, let it not be done till, peace is restored. My mind has never changed on what ought to be done, but it did not seem to bo the proper thing until this morning. ” The Board of Public Safety decided to swear in 250 special officers and Mayor Sullivan issued a proclamation closing all saloons until the strike is over.

MEASURES CONSIDERED AND ACTED UPON. At the Nation’s Capital—What Is Being. Done by the Senate and Bouse—Old Matters Disposed Of and New Ones Con* siderod. The Senate and Bouse. In tho Senate, the 24th, .after the introauction of several bills, the session was taken up by consideration of the Idaho election case and the readlnn of President Harrison’s special message concerning the World's Fair. In the House the Indian appropriation bill still' continues to be the subject of monotonous consideration. The debate is generally of the most uninterest-' ing kind, and it is only when tho Indian agents come in for denunciation by some of the friends of the red man that the debate occasionally assumes a lively character. i The time of the House was entirely consumed, the 25th,' by consideration of the, Craig-Stewart election case from Idaho. This question was not settled. It also occupied the attention of the Senate for a while. j In the Senate, also, the report on the rainfall experiments called for by Mr. Rher- 1 man’s resolution was presented and referred to the Committee on Agriculture. Mr. Hale’s resolution of Jan. 19, calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for- copies of reciprocity agreements under the last tariff act, was taken up, and Mr. Vest moved the following amendment: And that the Secretary of State also Inform the Senate whether any steps havo been taken by our authorities to negotiate a reciprocal commercial treaty with Mexico- and if so, what has been done and with what results.

Debate was in progress when adjournment was had.'In the Senate, the 2Gth, after several bills were reported and placed on the calendar, the Idaho election case was again taken up.

Well Thrown.

On a day in January, thirty-two years ago, the people of Madison Village, Me., were fighting fire. The west wind blew a hurricane; the tavern and an adjoining dwellings house had already burned to the ground, and the entire village was threatened. The Congregational Church stood In direct line with the Are, but the wide village green might save it. Hundreds of anxious eyes were on the watch lest some spark or live cinder should fall upon its exposed roof and walls, which were kept drenched with water. A blazing cinder whirled high across the green, and a strong, sucking current of air carried it and held it against a clapboard of the tall steeple; held It until the dry, pitch-filled strip of wood ignited, and a brisk smoke was rising on the steeple’s south face. A groan burst from the watching crowd. No ladder could reach the spot, and the loved church must burn. A red tongue of flame shot out from the blackened hole that the live cinder had charred, then—whiz went a flying snowball up from the crowd, a single, big, moist snowball, that snuffed out that blaze as one snuffs out a candle. Warren Bacon with his good right left hand had quickly shaped and thrown the snowball, and the church was saved. The building still stands, and the pierced clapboards on the south side of the steeple still show where the blazing cinder and then the flying snowball struck.

Jewish Emigration.

Jewish emigration is one that vitally concerns the people of the United States. Last year the number of Hebrews who came to the ports of the United States was 70,000, and this year the number will be much greater. There are 6,000,000 of the Jewish race in Russia and Russian Poland and the government of the Czar is determined to drive them away from these places. Whither shall these people go? There is considerable talk of some of them going to Brazil, the Argentine Republic, Mexico and other Spanish-American countries, but it is in ihe United States that they desire to settle. This is a serious consideration for Americans. The Jewish people do not amalgamate with the people of this country; they form colonies of their own and they care not to learn of our language, our institutions or our industries. It is probable that within three years there will come to this country more than 1,000,000 Jews. What can the United States .Government do for the regulation of emigration of this kind? is a question that however interesting cannot now be solved.

Not Worth So Much Himself.

“Ten thousand dollars for a dog!” he exclaimed, as he looked up from his newspaper. “Do you believe anyone ever paid any such price, Maria?” “I’m sure I don’t know, James,” she returned, without stopping her needlework even for a moment. “iJoes the paper say that much was paid?” “Yes, there’s an article on valuable dogs and it speaks of one that was 6old for SIO,OOO. I don’t believe it. ” “It may be true, James,” she said, quietly. “Some of these blooded animals bring fancy prices, ans there’s- no particular reason why the paper should lie about it. ” “I know that, Maria; but just think of it—just try to grasp the magnitude of that sum in your weak, feminine mind. You don’t seem to realize it. Ten thousand dollars for a dog! Why, Maria! that’s more than I am worth!” “I know it, James, but some are worth more than others.”
