DONE BY CONGRESS Work of the Session Just Closing Has Been One of Large Benefit. ITS EXCEPTIONAL ACTIVITY First Session of the 57th Congress Dealt With Questions of Far-Reach-ing Importance—Some of Its Transactions. Washington. June 30. —The present session of congress will come to a close this week. Both houses will close the session with exceptionally clean calendars and with the feeling on all hands that it has been a session of important achievements. The work of congress being now practically closed, it is possible to sum up the record of what has been accomplished during the past seven months, which constitute the first session of the 57th congress. The session has been marked by exceptional business activity with many questions of far-reaching general interest engaging attention. With the exception of the Cuban reciprocity bill most of the larger subjects of general legislation have been enacted as laws or will become such before the session closes. Notable among these larger measures is the isthmian canal bill, which consummates the efforts of a half century to link together the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific, and which has just been signed by the president., Aside from its national and international importance this bill probably involves a larger sum of money than that covering any other single undertaking by the government outside of war expenditures. The Philippine civil government lull is another measure of far-reaching importance extending to our remote Pacific possessions a system of internal government together with coinage, currency. banking, corporation, timber and homestead laws. Among the other important general laws enacted are those repealing the war revenue taxes: extending and making more effective the Chinese exclusion laws: establishing a tariff for goods to and from the Philippines: extending the charter of national banks for 20 years, establishing a permanent census office. restricting the sale of oieomar gartne by placing a high tax on imitation butter; providing a consular and diplomatic service for Cuba; establishing an extensive system by which the government will aid in the irrigation of the arid sections of the West. Aside from these important laws there are a number of other measures of general importance which have passed one or both bouses, but have not progressed to the final stage. These include the bill for the election es United States senators by direct vote of the people. It passed the house by practically a unanimous vote, but in the senate has received little attention and is not likely to pass. The Presi.temt Vo toes Aniertean Sympathy For Erxirtaixl.

CORONATION IS OFF ♦ The Probab'y Fatal Illness of King Edward Causes Consternation In London. CRITICAL SURGICAL OPERATION An Ailment of the Abdominal Cavity Has Brought Great Britain’s Ruler to Death's Door —Coronation Indefinitely Postponed. ♦ King Edward had a success- ♦ ♦ ful operation Tuesday after- ♦ ♦ noon for perityphlitis, and in ♦ ♦ consequence of his serious ill- ♦ ♦ ness the coronation has been ♦ ♦ indefinitely postponed. The ♦ ♦ news of the sudden change in ♦ ♦ the kings condition caused ♦ ♦ consternation in London. Phy- ♦ ♦ sicians say that under the most ♦ ♦ favorable circumstances it will ♦ ♦ be from four to six weeks be- ♦ ♦ fore the king can undergo the ♦ ♦ ordeal of the coronation. <> London, July 1. —The bulletins issued by the physicians today concerning the condition of King Edward are of reassuring tenor. The one issued this morning read: "His majesty has slept well. The dressing of the wound gives much distress, but there are no bad symptoms of any kind." London, June 25. —With dramatic suddenness the king has been stricken down upon the eve of his coronation. Today he lies in a critical state at Buckingham palace. Indescribable consternation prevails throughout the country, and this consternation is reflected in the cablegrams received from all the centers of the universe. King Edward is in a room facing the beautiful gardens of Buckingham palace, and far from the street and the crowd. If his initial progress is maintained he will probably tide over the effects of his severe operation, which has successfully removed the local trouble. But should any complication occur, such as septic peritonitis or blood poisoning, it is feared hie majesty’s present physical and nervous condition would prove unequal to the strain involved. There is consequently intense anxiety as to the outcome. The king’s doctors believe that his majesty would have been dead before now except for the operation. His condition became so alarming Monday night that at one time it was feared death might ensue before the surgeon’s knife oould afford him relief. Intense swelling of the extremities, accompanied by alarming symptoms of mortification, constituted the emergency which demanded an immediate operation. To the last the king tried to avoid this, and he was willing to be carried to the abbey for the coronation oeremony in order that it should occur as arranged. The influence of Queen Alexandra was enlisted, however, and yesterday the royal patient was prepared for the operation which, even in the skillful hands of England’s best surgeon, was fraught with grave danger. During the afternoon his majesty wae mowed from his couch to the operating tabte and the anesthetic was administered. Sir Frederick Treves made the incision near the patient s groin and carried it upward, with an outward slant, for nearly four inches. The obstruction was removed and a tubing was planed in the affwted intestine. King Eld-wand's first words when he returned to consciousness were to ask for "George.’’ and the Prince of Wales, who was waiting in the nest room, was immediately admitted to his father’s presence. While the opera tion was being performed the great rentoal courtyard of Buckingham pal ace, so lately the acene of etteta brilliant aatlterines was utterly deserted and an impreeaive silence reigned throughout the tmikitng. Th- equerries talked in wtiispers. servants tip toed about, and Che tension grew almost unbearable. Then the word was passed around 'aU bad gone well." BIG ILLUMINATION Entrtmxl lighted Up By Three Thonsand Bonfires. London. July I.—The several feeling of relief ee a result of the favorable reports of the condition of the king vented itself last night by tb< touching off of the 3.000 bonfires throughout the Unite-' Kingdom which were originally prepared to celebrate coronation nUrht. The signal to light the fires was given at five minutes past 9 o’clock. A rocket wae sent up from the top of the gigantic wheel tn Earl's court and burst in a ctourt of stars 1,000 feet overhead. In response to this signal bonfires soee from every elevation of any consequence frotn the Lizard to the Orhueya Thu coWnatlons were unfortunately somewhat dampened by « dnwntell of rufn A BelHexwant ttenatnr.

Qneen Victoria’s Way. The queen’s interest in and oversight of public affairs did not cease with the prince’s death, although in the first years of overwhelming sorrow it must have been difficult to carry out her conception of duty. All important resolutions were taken by her; the personal notes in The Court Circular were written by her own hand and were seen by no one else. When Sir Henry I’onsonby became the queen’s private secretary, she said to him: “Remember this, no advice! I am older than you are and have had more experience.” In after years historians will have much to say upon the queen's personal share in the government of her dominions. All her papers have been most carefully preserved and arranged and some day. perhaps, will be accessible to the inquirer. On the other band there is not a single paper belonging to George 111. which is known to be in existence.— Professor Oscar Browning in Century. A Remedy For Teething; Trouble*. For teething, a Surrey “mother of twelve” has an excellent recipe which in her experience has never failed. At the first symptoms the child must be taken out early in the morning and placed uj>on the back of a donkey to be borrowed for the occasion. Care is required here, for the little patient must sit exactly upon the cross on the donkey’s back and have his facd to the tail. The mother will then lead the animal slowly forward while she recites the Lord's prayer, at the close of which she should take the baby in her arms, kiss him and say, “God bless him,” and his teething troubles will be over. Oh. why did not our mother know all this? Wbat we might have been spared!—London Tit-Bits. The Habits of the Robin. Let us hide behind that clump of blackberry bushes and watch the parent birds as they come to feed their young. There comes the father robin now. You can distinguish him from the mother by his darker plumage. You will notice that in coming with the food he alights on a particular twig, hops along a particular branch and alights on a particular side of the nest. If you watched him for a week, you would probably see him approach the nest in precisely the same way each time. Now here comes the mother, a lighter colored bird, with gray on the back of her head. You see that she reaches the nest by quite a different route and alights upon the other side ot it. and she will do this over and over and over again. Like men and women, birds acquire habits which they rigidly adhere to unless something happens to prevent them.—Ernest Harold Bayues in Woman's Home ComA square foot of honeycomb contains about 9.000 cells.
