Many State Senatora and Aseegobly- ' men bad to forpgo tbe pleaea^e of ependlng tbe holiday witb their faml- llei on account of tbe Ckmatltntlonal provlelon for tbe nteembllnc of tbe I.eKlalatiire on tbe firat Wedneaday Id January. Tbe Uovemor'a annual mes- BSKe wo* read to tbe ineint><>ni of eacb bouii«. In tbr Hrnate tbere was tbi> iisuni floral dieplny on tbe deeka. No preliminary election bad to lie held, Ihe name olllcers wbo were chosen lant year havlDK been selected at the He- publican caucus. Tbe offlcera are: Clerk, James S. Whipple; 8eT(eanl-at- Arms, Charles R. HouKbtalluf;, of Al¬ bany: Aeslstaut Rergeant-at-Arms, William W. Adams, of Homellavllle; HtenoKrapher, A. B. Sacliett. of Cnnan. dalgua: Principal Diwrkeeper, John K. Uoras, of Tonawanda, and KIrat Assist- ant Doorkeeper. It. C. liuell. of Cort- land. After the reading of the (lor- emor'a message, tbe Senate adloumrd out of respect to the memory of tbe late Senator Russell. Tbe AsaamMy waa slower to complete Its orgaDlzatlon than tbe Senate, oa the formality of imllotlng for each offlce wna carried out. the minority memliera having can¬ didates for every position. Tbone elected by tbe Republicans were as fol¬ lows: Clerk, Colonel Archie Baxter, of Klmlra; Sergeant-at-.Arms, Praak W. Johnson, of Erie; Trlnclpal Doorkeep¬ er, Jacob Keniplr, of New York: First Assistant Doorkeeper, Andrew Kuhn, of Albany; Second Asslstnnt Door¬ keeper, Charles C. Gray: Steuograpber, Henry C. Lammert, of Klnga. Tbe floral display lu tbe Assembly waa even more elaliorate than In the Senate. Hardly a member was not remem¬ bered, uearly all tbe desks baring at least bouquets ou them. Speaker .N'lxoD delivered an address In which he expressed Ills thanks for the honor of a fourth consecutive election to offlce. The Assembly listened to the reading of the Uoveruor's message, and after that the annual appropriation bill was Introduced. After the selee- tlou of seats, the session was ad- lourned.

-Washington Star.
THE doctor had made bis last visit for tbe ulgbt nnd tbe nurse was left alone with her patient—a typhoid fever pa¬ tient, muscular and raving. It was a private "contagions" ward; a room that was always like a ship's deck, stripped for action, wllh Its metal bed of white enamel, Its raetol table and Its gray green wall, decorated only with "colored sapplemeut" prints be¬ cause these conld be changed frequent¬ ly and burned easily. It wns a room of a dim light and a tempered shadow, one of those bare hospltnl rooms where you feel that the flame of life, though It burns low, burns without a flicker, being protected and watched In Its feebleness with no seullment nf love, but with the skilled care aud tbe cool eye of unlmpnssloned science.
The nurse sat nt the liedslde. her hands folded In her lnp, like a nun at meditation. There wns sometliiiig nnn-like In her face. In her placidity beside such suffering. In the almost anelancholy sweetncBS of Ihc fnce of n woman wbo bad looked many times on death alone at midnight nnd who hnd lived for a long year now lu the con¬ stant companionship of pain.
But, Indeed, the expression belled her. She was wnUhlng ber pnilent for the signs of n lieiiiorrhage. listen¬ ing Intently to his breathing, with Uie subconscious nlerlness of the engineer who will sit musing wllh nu eye on the steam gauge and nu enr atralned for the slightest change of note In the regular swing and cadence of the machinery. The poor fellow lu the bed tossed and muttered fretfully.
She stood looking down at him. smiling with a motherly pity. Ills eyes were closed.
He had been as self-wllled In Ills lll¬ neea a« a spoiled child. He had beeu almoat convalescent when, against nil warning —while the day nurse wns chatting with the doctor outside the door—he had staggered from his bed to a basket of fruit on the table nml eaten two peaches before be wns seen. The result was n relapse Inlo a fur more critical condillon thnn he had been at flrst. Here ho Iny now, si rug- fling ngainst denth llseir
Although she wns not aware of It lie hnd changed for her: from being n "case" he hnd become a liiiuinii being with a claim of Interest un her, and she frowned nt his inullerliig of pnlii. Poor fellow! I.lfe must hnve been so full for lilni of Interesis. ai'tlvltleK. promises, nchievemeiil.i. To hnve II nil end this way. fulllel.v: He bnd glvni the college cry oiin. in a ,l,.lii.. inm and sti-uggled. pnn ting, through u football game. And once be had been standing on the plntforin of deliale. Another time be had been wrillug un nn examination la law. And still uu¬ other time slln thought thnt she lienrd him speak Jim's nuuie In the Jumlile of delirious multerlugs.
Jim was to have been u biw.ver. Poor Jim! Her eyes Hlled nt Ihat old. tear-atalned memory of Jim nnd her father drowued logeiber In that horri¬ ble accident on the Delawnre. Well, ahe at least had not beeu a biirden on her mother's smnll Income, nud souu— as soon as she wns gradiialeil frnm the hospital—sbe would not unly lie self supporling, but nn nld lu the otheiK. There were Iwo long yenrs of hard work before her yet.   She bit her Up.
The untiring run and lialilile uf liU delirium hnd lieeu growing louder. She went to him ngaIn 10 cnlin hini with the sound of her voice, nml lie looked up at her wlih n smile tlint semed almost rational, ll wns uuly nio mentary; he called lier ' Aiintlo.'" nnd began a childish prnille.
"Xlght-nlghf," he said. •Kiss im- nlght-nlght."
She touched his forehead Willi lur finger tips.
"Ssh."  she  said,  nnd  lieni  down   lo him.    The line screen ai   ili,.  fuol   of the   be<l   bid   her  from   any  cm.   wlm might pass In  the Imll.    Sh,' her     lips     til   bis   furclicn.l. night." she wlil»pireil.
He   looke»l   at   lier   wllb   11 smile   pouting   his   lips.     It   imnlciied slowly Into a purKi'd iiiouili of perplex.
Ity.
"Hello, old  man," lie saiil.    "Whore
movemeut wllh an eye of Invalid ten. demeas.
"Oh, I say," he protesteil, "you don", make any allowance for a fellow being III!"
She affected a professional cheerful nesB In the matter.
"Oh, you're well on your way tt health,"  she  said.    "We'll  soon   have
you back to yonr friends "
"Nurse." he said, "you're the bcsl friend 1 ever had-or want to hive."
Her cloistered loneliness rose on hei In a surge of bitterness.
"Walt till you've been nwny from here nbout a month. One feels verj dependent and—and affectlonnle wheii oue Is 111.   It soon wears off."
"That's the way you always talk," he said moodily. Theu, brlghlenlng. "I'll report you to the doctor. You're uot humoring me."
She did not answer. Sbe smiled, bating warded off the danger which his milder mannertl.id warned her of. She seated hersell'd^ chair and took up a book which she had pnt down on the table wben bis visitors hnd en¬ tered.
"What's that?"  be demanded peev¬ ishly.   "What are you reading?" "Don'ls," she answered laconically. "Don'ts?"
" 'One Hundred Don'ts for Nurses,' " she read from the cover. "Thlugs wc nre not to do."
"Well, don't worry. Your sins bave been all of omission.    It's tbe things
you have uot don(> "
Sbe smiled serenely at the page. "You might read It out, nt least," he said.
"Let me see." She turned the pages. "I think tnat Is probably lucluded In the prohibitions: Don't let others know Ihe secrets of the profession." He clutched the arms of the chnlr. "Vou're teasing me. Let me :'ead that book or I'll get up."
She Inughed and passed It lo him. He begnn to reod:
"Don't sit In a rocking chair nnd rocl{ while resting."   "Don't Injure the fur; ulture In nny wny nnd he cnreful ot nil   fnncy   decorations."     He   looked ulmut him.    "The wrecknge hns been appalling In this palatial npnrtiuent." He rend ngnln.   "Well, great Ell!" hc cried, nnd looked up nt ber    "Why. 11 was .von!" "What was?" "Come here, please." She went to him.    He pointed wlih a   thin   finger  lo  nn   necuslng  "Don'C kiss your pntlent."
Sbe Husheil nnder her dnlnty Swiss cap.
"Not even delirious pnllents'/" he Inqnlved.
She turned her baik ou hlni from tbe window.
"Not even those who have nn Illu¬ mination of reason?" be persisted. Sho could find nothiug to say. "Do you know," hc said. "I've been puzzling over It ever sluce. It was Just liefore I fell alseep nnd woke up to my senses agalu. At first I thought It wss my aunt who brought me up, and theu suddenly I thought It was an old cbnm of mine at college. Y'ou look very like bim. Why, your nnines are the same. Was Jim Blakely a relative of yours? He was drowned——" She turned on hlui with a cry of— "Jim —Jim -wns my — my dearest lirother."

All these .iiovoments hnve gone on wllh very llt- :lo noise. It would have beeu much 'asler for our edncntors to estnbllsh iilgli schools uud colleges, since the cry .'or odncnllon from the so-cnlled "lend¬ ing Filipinos" Is uiidorstooil nt thn Wnr Dopnrtment to moan a deninnd for high schools, so Hint they will not lie obliged to send tholr children Into Mnnlln.

Albany, N. Y. — stnte Controller Knight's nnuunl report has lieeu sent (o the I.*glslature. Its principal feat- am are the following:
The actual surplus of the general fund m Septemlier 8<>. IIKM. was the iargent known in the fund's bistory. On tbat -4Uit« it amann'ffil ta. fT,MT,l7(t.<ia, ex. MK>dlng tbe estimate by $.\489,T97.01.
Tlie aggregate appropriations for 11)01 are shown to have been <he low- pst since ISIMI. The amount Is given at 1122,307,008.7^, « decrease of Sl,ttOO,000 >s compareil with the flgurea of ItlOO. The State debt for nil purposes at the llose of the fiscal year wns $10.07r>,ll«10. The amount of tbe slujiclug fund to meet this obligation was $t.8<W,52«.l»4, making the net debt a little over Sa- liOO.OOO.
In the Corjioratlon Tax Bureau the records show that Ihere hns lieen an In¬ crease In the last decade of 200 pot cent. In the uumber of corporations taxed, nnd nn Iucrense of 147 l>er cent. In the amount eollccteil. Over 0000 corporations have beim taxe<1 In HK>1. Ihe receipts from them having been nearly $S,000.000, and the cost of cob lection but six-tenths of one per cent, rills bureau collects the largest amouut nf money of any agency of the fitatc Oovemment nt the least coat. Of the collections this year )I2,104,1S2.42 was receiveil from savings banka and tmat rompanles under the new law.
Tbe Controller reporta some difflcul- ly In adjusting taxes with the sayings banks, and a disposition on the part of these Institutions to undervalue theli real properly. He suggests a slight change In the law so that tho mnrkpl ralue should be tnken as a measure nl the nsseasment of ihe proporty of those Institutions Instead of the par ralue.
Attention Is called to the fnct that Ihe House of Refuge for .luvenile De- 'Inqnents nt Itnndnll's Island, a qiinsl- lubllc Instllntlon. does not come with¬ in the provisions of the Olvll Service law with refereniv to Its employes. It IS suggested thnt this Institution should, through some amendment of tbe atat- ntes, he brought Into the same class with others.
It Is also suggested that Ibe powers of the Board of Classlficnlion. created iy the I.«glslature of 1801), l>i> enlarged 10 that It will hnve power to abolish innecessary offlcea.
A doflclency of $150,000 Is noted In he apprnprlntlon for the State prlnt- ng. Attention Is nlso called to the lu- .>ongruous system of levying special axea for additional compensation of ludgea and expenses of courts, and luggestlon is made that aome uniform¬ ity of method should be adopted for *nlslng moneys for this purpose.
The completion of the preparation ind Indexing of Ihe Revolutionary (Var records Is announced, and the inldlcatlon of the supplement to "New Vork In the Revolution." The Con- :roller concludes his report by calling itlentlon to the vast amount of work low being done by the finance ofllco ind the cause for Ita Increase.
