the message -resident M’KINLEY’S pre. r SENTMENT to congress. CUBAN WAR IS REVIEWED Tells of the Steps Taken by (he Government Since Congress Was hast In Session —Favors an Injrease of the Army ami Navy—Reiterates His Recommendation to the Last Congress on the Currency Question. Washington, Dec. 6.—Promptly at the hour of I'-’ today Speaker Reed convened the last session of the Fifty-fifth congress. After a few preliminary motions 8 committe was appointed to wait upon the president and inform him that the house was ready to receive any communication he might wish to make, the chair appointing Messrs. Dingley, Cannon and Bailey. A recess was then taken until 1:30, when the house reconvened. Mr- Dingley had barely finished bis report when Mr. Prnden, the president’s executive clerk appeared and announced the president’s message. The president says, in part, as follows: “Notwithstanding the added burdens rendered necessary by the war, our people rejoice in a very satisfactory and Steadily increasing degree of prosperity, evidenced by the largest volume of business ever recorded. Manufacture has been productive, agricultural pursuits have yielded abundant returns, labor in the fields of industry is better rewarded, revenue legislation passed by the preset congress has increased the treasury’s receipts to the amount estimated by its withers; the finances of the government have been successfully administered and its credit advanced to the first rank; svhile its currency has been maintained it the world’s highest standard. Miliary service, under a common flag and bra righteous cause, has strengthened the nation’s spirit and served to cement more closely than ever the fraternal bonds between every section of the country. A review of the relation of the United States to other powers, always ippropriate, is this year of primary importance in view of the momentous issues which have arisen, demanding in jne instance the ultimate determination Warms and involving far-reaching eonsequences which will require the eamMtattention of the congress.” The president then takes up the Cuta war question and says: “Setting iside, as logically unfounded or practically inadmissible the recognition of the Juban insurgents as belligerents, the (cognition of the independence of Cuba, leutral intervention to end the war by mposing a rnti<malcompromise 1»-tween he contestants, intervention in favor of me or the other party, and forcible anlfration of the island, I concluded it ras honestly due to our friendly relaions with Spain that she should be pven a reasonable chance to realize her ipectations of reform. * * * "The ensuing month brought little ign of real progress toward the pacificaion of Cuba. The autonomous adminrtration set up in the capital and some t the principalities appeared not to Jin the favor of the inhabitants, nor to k able to extend their influence to the arge extent of territory held by the intrants, while the military arm, obvinsly unable to cope with the still active ebellion, continued many of the most bjectionable and offensive policies of be government that had preceded t. » * » "At this juncture, on the 15th of Febwry last, occurred the destruction of he battleship Maine, while rightfully t-ngin the harbor of Havana on a misbn of international courtesy and good rill—a catastrophe, the suspicious nanre and horror of which stirred the Won's heart profoundly.” The president then recites the appointlent of a commission to investigate the fstruction of the Maine, the appropria- ® of, a $50,000,000 defense fund and is still further efforts to bring the war ftween Spain and her subjects to a wn, and says: Grieved and disappointed at this bar- ® outcome of my sincere endeavors to #tu a practical solution, I felt it my o, y to remit the whole question to the ®gress. * * • The response of the congress, after days of earnest deliberation, during ch the almost unanimous sentiment your b<xly was developed on every ®t, save as to the expediency of coup- ? the proposed action with the formal °T the republic of Cuba as '■trueand lawful government of that P ro P°®tion which failed of T on—the congress, passed the joint ,„^ tIOEB that the people of Cuba to be free; that it was the duty of " lt * d States to demand the with- ’ of Spain from the island, that ho empowered to use the sn “ naval force to carry the resointo effect and disclaiming any on of the United States to exer'"KVere ’ Kn ty over the island of Cuba, resolution,” says the president, approved April 20, a copy of which >d th Vtred f<l she Spanish minister, td ar 'v 1 Minister WoodMadrid, with instructions to Min I* to the government of "After th® Preßident Wtl Wrvu?

The president says; * ‘The total casu alties m killed and wounded in the army during the war was as follows: ‘‘Officers killed, 23; enlisted killed, 257. Total, 280. Officers wounded, 113; enlisted men wounded, 1,464. Total, 1,577. s he Navy—Killed, 17; wounded, <, died as a result of wounds, 1; invalided from service, 6. Total, 91. “It will be observed that, while our navy was engaged in two great battles and in numerous perilous undertakings in the blockades and bombardments, and more than 50,000 of our troops were transported to distant lands, and engaged in assault, and seige, and battle, and many skirmishes, in unfamiliar territory, we lost in both arms of the service a total of 1,668 killed and wounded; and in the entire campaign by land and sea we did not lose a gun, or a flag, or a transport, or a ship, and with the exception of the crew of the Merrimac, not a soldier or sailor was taken prisoner.” Os finances the president says: “I recommend that when any of the United States notes are presented for redemption in gold, and are redeemed in gold, such notes should be kept and set apart, and only paid out in exchange for gold. This is an obvious duty. If the holder of the United States note prefers the gold, and gets it from the government, he should not receive back from the government a United States note without paying gold In exchange for it. The reason for this Is made all the more apparent when the government issues an interest bearing debt to provide gold for the redemption of United States notes —a noninterest bearing debt. Certainly it should not pay them out again except on demand, and for gold. If they are put out in any other way, they may return again, to be followed by another bond issue to redeem them—another interest bearing debt to redeem a noninterest bearing debt.” Os the army he says “there can be no question that at this time and for some time in the future 100,000 men will be none too many to meet the necessities of the situation." He favors increasing the navy by the number of vessels recommended by the secretary of war—l 2 cruisers—and recommends the revival of the grades of admiral and vice admiral. He recites the work of the postoffice department and states its needs as regards the recently acquired territory, but makes no recommendation. Os pensions the president says there are on the rolls 993,714 names, 18,000 being added during the last year. The amount disbursed for pensions was $144,651,879.80. He speaks of the activity in the agricultural department during the past years. Explorers have been sent to many of the countries of the eastern and western hemispheres for seeds and plants that may be useful to the United States, and speaks encouragingly of the experiments that have been made in sugar beet growing in the past two years.

Speaking of the coming centennial of the founding of the city of Washington as a permanent place of government, the president says: “A movement lately inaugurated by the citizens to have the anniversary celebrated with fitting ceremonies, including, perhaps, the establishment of a handsome permanent memorial to mark so historical an occasion, and to give it more than local recognition, has met with general favor on the part of the public. •‘I recommend to the congress the granting of an appropriation for this purpose and the appointment of a committee from its respective bodies. It might also be advisable to authorize the president to appoint a committee from the country at large, which, acting with the congressional and District of Columbia committees, can camplete the plans for an appronriate national celebration. “The alien contract law is shown by experience to need some amendment; a measure providing better protection for seamen is proposed; the rightful application of the 8-hour law for the benefit of labor, and of the principle of arbitration, are suggested for consideration, and I commend these subjects to the careful attention of the congress.” Fifty-Fifth Congress. Washington, Dec. 6. — After both houses of congress had been convened yesterday, a recess was taken until the president's message was received, the reading of which occupied two hours and IK minutes. There were no expressions of approval or disapproval of the document A few bills were introduced and adjournment had. Miles’ Military Bill It will Provide Fora Standing Army of 100,000 Men.

THE HOUSEHOLD. Cleaning Up l n the Kitchen - Home, made Needlebook- Made of Chicken Livers. Next to having a clean range and a good fire it is most important that all pots, pans, saucepans and other cooking utensils should be scrupulously clean. As success in cooking often depends on this point it is well that the mistress of the house should know something of scullery work, for untrained servants never seem to have any idea of the proper methods of cleaning even when they can cook a little. I cannot but think that a few practical directions may prove useful to my readers, so I shall here give some notes on the subject. Whether in scullery work or cookery the first thing to do is to collect all the utensils and ingredients that may be required. It is most annoying to have to stop in the midst of making a cake, for instance, when one’s hands are floury, in order to go and search for baking powder, perhaps finding the supply run short and then waiting while a messenger is dispatched for it to that little store around the corner, thus losing time and patience. To clean an iron saucepan a pail of hot water, soda, flannel and sand are required. If there be any soot adhering to the exterior, scrape it off with an old knife, then put the saucepan into the water, soap the flannel, sprinkle a little fine sand on it, and wash the utensil both inside and cut, removing all grease and remnants of food. Rinse in clean, cold water and dry thoroughly with a dry dishcloth, as if put away damp the saucepan will rust. The outside but not the handle may be blackleaded, putting on the black lead with a small brush, rubbing it in with a second and polishing with a third. The saucepan may now be dusted inside and placed upside down on the pot board, so that the air but no dust may enter. Some people when they desire to clean a saucepan put it on the fire to boil with soda and water, but this is unwise, as the bottom is liable to burn if any vegetable, etc., has adhered to it. To clean the lid first wash it in a similar manner to the saucepan with soap, soda and a little sand, then apply whitening mixed with water to the consistency of cream. Let this dry on the tin, then polish off, taking out the whitening from the crevices with a wooden skewer if necessary. Tin saucepans are cleaned in the same manner as the lids —namely, first washed and dried and then brightened with whitening.—Boston Traveler. Heart Shaped Needlebook. The winter work bag or basket requires all sorts of handy contrivances, and the most indispensable is the needlebook, which will hold pins as well as w V 9 HOMEMADE AND HANDY, assorted needles. A pretty heart shaped design is made of bright colored velvet and satin. A double piece of cardboard is cut heart shaped for the foundation. The upper leaf is covered with velvet and lined with satin, and the edges are turned over and neatly joined with the close overcasting stitch. The pointed buttonhole pattern around the edge is worked in pretty colored embroidery floss. Three heart shaped leaves in graduating size, the edgescut in tiny pointe, are fastened at the top within the book. The under part just inside the edge is covered with satin ornamented with a vine worked brier stitch, and the pointed buttonhole is used around the outer side. A small, pointed pocket of contrasting silk slightly full and drawn across with an elastic, made to hold a few papers of needles, is fastened within the lower half of the book. The two parts are joined at the point with a small cord or tassel, and a piece of cord or baby ribbon is attached toeachat the upper points of the heart. Made of Chicken Livers. The next time the family menu includes roast chicken the livers may be omitted from the giblet gravy, a delicious side dish made therefrom, and no one be aware that one dish has been robbed to produce the other. The hearts, necks, scalded and scraped feet, and the gizzards, if simmered slowly, will give as rich a gravy as can be desired and the fowls’ livers are then left to be treated as follows: Simmer the livers until tender, pound to a paste with a small teaspoon of anchovy sauce, half a teaspoon of butter, a teaspoon of beef extract or any rich gravy without fat, all worked together with the yolk of an egg. When smooth, add cayenne pepper and salt to taste. Spread this on neat squares of fried bread (dipped in batter), garnish with chopped egg and parsley.

Woman’s Information Bureau.

Within the past few years a new department has been added to the New York Woman’s Exchange called the “information bureau.” This branch supplies teachers, chaperons, companions, artists, governesses, housekeepers, hairdressers and nurses. Orders are received for house bunting, shopping, marketing, purchasing railroad tickets or theater tickets, procuring servants or performing work which can be done by any woman of education. Thomilliuery department is also a new feature, where hats and bonnets are made by women of fashion. The next addition to this haven of the gentlewoman of fallen fortunes will be an endowment fund of $200,000, a goodly portion of which has already been subscribed.

Can Sleep Like a Babe. How many people over thirty years of age in Decatur can truthfully make the above statement ? Many persons will pay SSO for a few nights of restful, strength giving sleep, but you can get this bliss right here in Decatur for onlv fifty cents at Holthouse, Callow & Co’s, drug store if you will take Mrs. Mary Smith’s advice, who lives at 1511 Cooper street, Jackson Mich. Mrs. Smith says: No one knows how much I have suffered for the past three years. At times my back would pain me so badly that I almost cried. I did not rest well at nights on account of the severe pain across my back and from nervousness. My feet and limbs were swollen like one with dropsy. I was a subject to spells of dizziness and would almost fall when they come on. It is needless for me to say that I was unable to do my heavy household work that would require me to bend or lift any. In the early stage of my trouble, I was informed that my kidneys were diseased so I commenced to take kidney pills and other kidney remedies, but none of them gave merelief. My : troubles multiplied and I had about! given up all hope of ever being well again. I read about Morrow’s Kid-ne-olds and secured a box and took them according to directions. In three days I was greatly relieved. One box completely cured me. Not the least symptoms of headache remain, my nerves are steady and all right, no more spells of dizziness, the swelling has all disappeared in my feet and limbs. I can sleep like a baby, have a splendid appetite, can do any kind of house work and in fact never felt better in my life. Morrow’s Kid-ne-oids are surely a God send to suffering humanity. I feel so good that I want everybody to know what to take if afflicted as I have been. Mrs. Smith has lived in Jackson nearly all her life and is a most estimable lady. She is a. sensible, pleasant and charitable lady, who will gladly give any one further details who will write her, enclosing stamp for reply. Kid-ne-oids are yellow tablets (not pills) and cure kidney disease and nervousness. They ~ are for sale by all first-class druggist, or will be mailed by the manufacturers on receipt of price.

Keeps Folks Well. It is better to keep well than to get well,although when one is sick it is desirable to get well. When considered that eight-tenths of the ailments that afflict the American people are caused by constipation, we shall realize why it is that Baxter’s Mandrake Bitters “keeps folks well,” or if sick, enables them to get well.

One Ofvided by Naught. Four men sitting together were confiding to one another their general ignorance of the matter contained in textbooks. One said he had studied algebra for three years, but he would find it impossible to solve the simplest problem by an algebraic process. Another said he had been counted a good student in geology, and yet he doubted if he could name the principal periods in their proper order. “Now let’s see how much you do know,” said one of the men. “How much is one divided by naught or nothing?” "One divided by nothing?” repeated the man at his right. "Why, that's one. If one isn't divided by anything, it remains one. ” “I think the answer is nothing.” said another. “One divided by nothing is—nothing. Sure, that’s right. ” “You’re the worst I ever heard,” said the man who had given the problem. “One divided by nothing—that means how many times is nothing contained iu one. It is contained an infinite number of times, and the correct answer is—infinity.” Then he had to talk to them for five minutes in order to convince them.— ■ Chicago Record. Educating Her Girls.
