K. Hollotray to Go to St. Petersburg. Washington, July 26.—0 n Saturday, after the passage of the ariff bill, President McKinley sent to longress a message on the currency pestion, in which he referred to the abject of establishing the currency and Bilking system on a better basis as one if very great importance. In the course if the message he said: ‘‘The soundless of our currency is nowhere quesioned. No loss can come to its holders. It is the system which should be simpliled and strengthened. Keeping our noney just as good as it is now with less expense to the government and our people. The sentiment of the country s strongly in favor of early action by congress in this direction, to revise our currency laws and remove them from partisan contention. The president made no other recommendation than the appointment of a monetary commission, slong the lines suggested by the Indianspolis monetary conference, “whose duty it shall be to make recommendations of whatever changes in our present banking and currency laws as may be found necessary and expedient, and to report their conclusions on or before Nov. 1 next, in order that the same my be transmitted by me to congress for its consideration at the first regular session.” The house very promptly acted upon the advise off erred in the message, passing Representative Stone’s bill providing for such a commission, but in the senate the proposition to consider the question developed an opposition that led to the speedy abandonment of the subject and adjournment without action. m‘kinley’B vacation.

The colonel declines absolutely to say what appointment he is to receive, but from a state department source it is learned that he will be consul general at St. Petersburg, and that the appointment will be made Sept 1 Colonel Holloway would have preferred something in England or Ireland, where fat consular fees enrich the pocket but as these posts were all promised he’was not sorry to aceept the higher sounding but somewhat less remunerative office of consul general at St. Petersburg. Colonel Holloway’s appointment will be charged to the president’s personal account. Tracewell lor Controller of Treasury. Washington, July 27. - The president has decided to appoint Hon. Robert J. Trace well of Indiana for the position of controller of the treasury President McKinley, realizing the important questions coming up for decision in the controller’s office, has been giving the matter of the selection of an appointee considerable attention and finally concluded to give the place to Mr. Tracewell. The appointment, it is said at the white house, is entirely one of merit, Mr. Tracewell being selected because of his fine legal attainments. Indiana Postmasters.

GOVERNOR MOUNT’S APPEAL. He Asks the State at Large to Assist the Miners. Indianapolis, July 27.—John B. Conner, state statistician, and Thomas J. Terhune, ex-judge of the Boone circuit court, appointed special commissioners by Governor Mount to investigate the conditions existing in the mining district of the state, concluded their mission yesterday, by submitting a written report to the governor. Their conclusions were deemed of sufficient importance to warrant the governor in taking steps for making a public appeal for assistance for the miners and their families. Governor Mount's appeal is in part as follows: After a thorough and pains taking examination of the condition of the Indiana coal miners and their families, it becomes apparent that they are sorely in need of prompt and liberal assistance. It should constantly be borne in mind that the prevailing destitution and want in the coal districts is a condition for which the miners are by no means wholly responsible. There is ample testimony of the most trustworthy character, made on the authority of operators themselves, that these employes are so poorly paid, the direct result of unwise competition among producers, that the compensation is barely sufficient, under the most favorable circumstances, to provide sustenance. Whilst mothers and children are enduring almost unspeakable hardships in consequence of being bereft of the actual necessities of life, a generous people should not long withhold their practical offerings of sympathy and charity. May the Christlike spirit of philantrophy fill the hearts of all our citizens and cause them to realize the truth of the divine injunction that “It is more blessed to give than to receive. ” I therefore call upon the people of our great state to render to these unfortunate miners and their ill-fated families all the assistance possible. I sincerely trust that all the oitles and counties in Indiana will at once adopt means for making contributions, all of which will be received by the central organization at Indianapolis and be thence distributed in an orderly and methodical manner to those who are found worthy ami deserving, in accordance with arrangements yet to be determined in detail. TAGGART RENOMINATED. Ex-State Democratic Chairman Carries the Mayoralty Nomination on First Ballot. Indianapolis, July’ 23.—The Democratic city convention held here yesterday afternoon renominated Thomas Taggart for mayor on the first ballot, the vote being: Taggart, 609; Frank A. Maus, 19; John N. Navin, 15; T. F. Harrison, 9. All the other city officers were renominated. The platform indorses the Chicago platform and William Jennings Bryan; condemns the Republican party “for failure to open the mills, as it promised, if restored to power;” extends sympathy to American laborers, who were promised better wages and steady’ employment if McKinley was elected; condemns Governor Mount and the late legislature for amendments to the Australian ballot law; extends sympathy to the striking coal miners and extols Mayor Taggart’s administration of city affairs.

THE HOUSEHOLD. Salads and Salad Making—How to Make Tea Delicate Way to Cook Cabbage Green Pea Soup. Nearly all fresh vegetables may be worked into the salads that furnish such refreshing hot weather dishes. The result is good, bad or mysterious, according to the skill and judgment of the person who presides over the compounding. Knack is everything; but, as Good Housekeeping remarks, knack simply means the care and study which one gives tt> a chosen matter, sparing no pains and never dropping into the realm of chance. This authority enumerates essentials in the common acceptance of ideas regarding salad making success: A silver knife, a silver spoon, ice water, the best butter or oil, sweet milk (if cream cannot be had), strong mustard, pure vinegar, and if potatoes are used those cooked to just the right point and properly dried. As to ingredients, almost anything and everything may be used: Tomatoes, cabbage, potatoes, beets, cauliflowers, carrots, artichokes and mushrooms—but not all at once. Oh, no! The tendency is decidedly to use too many ingredients rather than too few. Except in the case of the Russian or Italian salad, the number of vegetables in a salad should be limited. For instance, if called tomato salad, let us have the taste of the vegetable giving the name and have it clearly and unmistakably. In case of a French salad, composed of lettuce and a small quantity of finely mixed herbs, good taste rebels against having the lettuce smothered in a mixture of radishes, mustard, cress and other strong components. Salad dressings may be made with or without oil. In the former case proceed about as follows: For two heads of lettuce mix in a cup a salad spoonful of the best vinegar, an even half teaspoonful of salt and a scant half saltspoonful of white pepper. This combination should be made before the oil is added, as the salt does not dissolve in the oil, and gives the salad a gritty taste and a granulated appearance. When the salad is ready to serve, the leaves are coated with the oil—in place of which sweet cream or melted butter may be used—after which the seasoned vinegar may be added. Other methods of procedure showing in a measure the exhaustless resources at command of the studious salad maker are: Raspberry Salad.—For a quart of ripe raspberries take half a pint of red currant jelly and a gill of clear sirup, made by dissolving a gill of sugar in a tablespoonful of hot water. When melted, add the currant jelly, and when cold pour all over the raspberries and set them on ice till next morning. A Simple Salad. —Small potatoes, not suitable for ordinary use, should be laid aside and used for salads. Boil them, and while warm peel and slice thin. Chop some parsley and an onion and add to the sliced potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and pour over two or three dessert spoonfuls of oil or melted butter and moisten the whole with vinegar. Sliced beets and cucumbers can be added to the salad before the oil and vinegar are mixed with the potatoes. How to Make 'Bea. Speaking a member of a large China house, who was the tea taster for his firm, we ventured to ask him the proper way to prepare our tea. “Well,” he replied, “the kettle should just reach its first boil, the pot should be warmed, the leaves put in, and the boiling water poured upon them. They should stand from five to six minutes to draw.” “So long as that?” we remarked, in surprise. "Certainly. We have a sort of hourglass beside us when we are tasting, and we never let the infusion stand for less than five minutes, and it is strange tea if it requires more than six. After that every minute the tea remains in the pot the liquid is spoiling and absorbing a certain amount of poison. Stewed tea is bad for the digestion and nerves and everything else. A Delicate Way to Cook Cabbage. Cut the cabbage as for coarse slaw and let it stand covered with water for two ot three hours before cooking. Then drain off the water, and putting it into boiling water cook until thoroughly boiled. Salt it a few minutes before removing from the fire, take up in a colander and press out the water and season it with butter and pepper. This serves very nicely with boiled meats. Sponge Cake In Perfection. Six eggs, a pint of flour, a pint of sugar and 2 tablespoonfuls of water. Beat the sugar and yolks well together. Beat the whites separately, then put the whites into the sugar and yolks and beat well. Then add the flour, stirring only enough to mix w’ell. Bake quickly in a hot oven in a loaf or sheets. Green Pea Soup. One quart of milk, two large cupfuls of peas, one tablespoonful of butter, one heaping tablespocnful of flour, salt and pepper to taste. Cook and mash the peas, cream the butter and flour together, add these to the boiling milk, season and strain. Brief Mention. Tandem riding threatens to become a popular form of cycling. The sound of crisp silk linings accompanies women in fashionable array. A writer in the New York Sun claims that “a vegetable and oatmeal diet acts as a hair tonic, while meat and milk mean baldness.” A room lighted from the sides is more satisfactory at middle age, for the center chandelier brings out in bold relief the lines of age. Collecting some particular bric-a-brao is one of the fads indulged in by women nowadays. Fans, wigs, snuffboxes, clocks and china are a few of the lines represented.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY. Horace L. Chapman, the Democratic silver candidate for governor of Ohio, belongs to that large class of representative citizens who have carved their own fortunes and risen from humble beginnings to positions of prominence in business and politics. Mr. Chapman carved out a considerable fortune for himself while he was about it and is now reckoned one of the wealthiest and s*• \ If* \ \ r! ' HORACE L. CHAPMAN. most enterprising business men of Jackson county. He is president of the Chapman Mining company and owner of three mines in operation, he is president of the Tropic Iron company of Jackson, president of the First National bank of Jackson, president of the Columbus Cycle company, president of the Association of Ohio Mine Operators and is interested in many other enterprises. Mr. Chapman was born on a farm in Alleghany county, N. Y., 60 years ago, and in 1854 removed to Ohio. He engaged in the lumber business and studied law, but he found in the business world a better field for his abilities than in the legal profession. He has been city treasurer of Portsmouth and member of the town council of Jackson, where he now resides. “The Zenda Man” Is Coming. The news that Anthony Hope Hawkins, the famous author of the “Dolly Dialogues” and “The Prisoner of Zenda,” is abou* to visit America has been read with pleasure by his thousands of admirers throughout the United States. Whether his reading tour will be as successful as that of lan Maclaren (Dr Watson) was last winter or whether he will read to a depressing array of empty /A. .. i /a. /wW OW ANTHONY HOPE HAWKINS, benches, as Dr. Conan Doyle did, depends largely on “the Zenda man” himself. The American people are certainly interested in Anthony Hope, but if he is as timid as some of the English correspondents represent him to be he might do well to follow the example of James M. Barrie and confine his public appearances to drawing rooms and dinner parties. Mr. Hawkins is 34 years old and wrote for ten long discouraging years before he made his first hit with “The Prisoner of Zenda. ” His success since then has been complete and now his fame is world wide. The New Minister to Persia. Arthur Sherburne Hardy, who has been appointed United States minister to Persia, is new to diplomacy, but has distinguished himself in other lines. He is at present professor of mathematics in Dartmouth college and has been a soldier, an author and an editor. He was born in Boston Aug. 13, 1847. and was graduated at West Point. After a service of 18 months as second lieutenant he resigned from the army and :| i low ■ ARTHUR SHERBURNE HARDT, traveled and studied abroad for several years. Later he went to lowa college as professor of civil engineering and afterward accepted the chair of mathematics at Dartmouth. Professor Hardy has been quite active as a writer. Besides a manual on “New Methods In Topographical Surveying,” he is the author of a number of poems and several novels. Among his best known novels are*‘Passe Rose,” “The Wind of Destiny” and “But Yet a Woman.” He has also been associate editor of The Cosmopolitan Magazine.

i EFFECTS OF JUMUR REelution. The human body materially considered is a machine made up of compound parts, each bolding a relation to every other part as definite and important as the different parts of any other machine, and as such is under the same mechanical law of position as are the parts of anv other machinery. Take for example that complicated and beautiful combination of the many parts of the clock on our mantle, the lever watch, j If the slightest change occurs in the bearing or position of the smallest wheel or spring, its action on its neighbor is rendered imperfect and this impeifection is carried through each succeeding part of the delicate machinery, affecting the accuracy of the result or by destroying the natural harmony so affecting it that it will not mark accurate time, if indeed it will run at all. Thus it is with the human body. The internal organs or viscera areas much under the law of definite position as are the bones; and a displacement will inteifere with tbeiunctioual duties of one as well as the other. When bones are thrown out of position, do you expect to replace them by giving medicine? No. You call a surgeon to replace them to their proper positions. The same is as necessary m displacements of internal organs. The excellent supply of abdominal i muscles are well adapted to the supi port of the weight of all the abdominal viscera and hold them in their natural position, that they may be in perfect harmony with their neighbors and the whole system. Often, however, they lose their usual power, either from lack of proper nutrition for constitutional weakness, from over work or from an undue increase of weight thrown upon them. They become unable to perform their function, are relaxed, become stretched, lose their power and fail to perform their function. The result is the internal viscera having lost their support, gradually settle down from their own weight and thus de range the whole economy by being thus out of their natural position. They may settle against the weakened abdominal wall and in crowding them out, open those ingunial rings that are naturally closed and soon force some of the abdominal contents through these delatable rings and produce a HERNIAL PROTRUSION. There need not be. and often there is no tear or rupture ot any tissues but simply a dilation of these natural openings. which have been unable to resist the undue weight and pressure coming against them. Leaving this condition to itself it will grow worse and the opening become larger, the protrusion greater until nature resists the innovation and endeavoring to contract these rings, strangulate the protruded portion or get up such an irritated or inflammation as to produce death unless some intelligent surgeon is called in time to correct the displacement. In order to save life be cuts down, relieves the strangulation, returns the protruding mass, sews up the opening and pronounces the case CURED. Or the surgeon may be one of more modern ideas, and before strangulation sets in advises the patient to put on a retentive truss and he injects medicine which causes an adhesion of the parts and the patient avoids the critical stage 1 of strangulation or inflammation and is congratulated on the good fortune of I being cured. All this time, however. : the cause of the rupture is allowed to , i remain. The same cause is very likely to reproduce the same results and later the hernia is again present. How ' much better it would be it the patient would call to his aid a surgeon with still 1 more modern ideas who will remove the cause. » This he cot do with the BANNING SYSTEM Os supports, applying the abdominal brace he removes this weight, lifts up and replaces the organs to their original position, brings back these dilated parts to their normal condition and with a slight pressure produces a mechanical irritation and adhesion and the patient is cured, the weakened and relaxed muscles have regained their former vigor, the extra weight permanently removed, the internal organs back to i heir normal position and thus harmony has been restored the machinery in working order again, and all done without the use of knife, needle or drawing blood or even interfering with the patient’s daily work. Which I ask is the better cure? By surgical means or by mechanical support, physiologically applied? Certainly the latter. Again, while this descent of the viscera exists, its presure on the pelvic organs, as the bladder, rectum, uterus, ovaries, tubes, &c., may not only crowd them out of their natural positions, but create in them violent irritations or inflammations which defy the , best skill of the best physicians and surgeons, but which readily yield w hen the cause producing them is removed.

Again, this undue pressure interferes with a proper circulation of the par's below, causing numbness, dtopsy and varicose veins of the lower limbs, varicocele, hydrocele or any other troubles, all ot which ars relieved when the cause which produces them is removed. Again, when a settling down or displacement of the abdominal organs take place, the natural support of the organs above is lost, such as the stomach, liver, spleen, deaphragm, heart lungs, &c., and they become pendent organs instead of supported; their functions are seriously interfered with and can only be corrected by returning to them their normal support whicii bolds them in their normal position. These are some of the reasons why the Banning Institute of Fort Wayne, is meeting with such universal success in curing rupture, spinal diseases, paralysis, chronic female complaints, &c.
