hope republican. Br Jay C. Smith. ■OP* INDIAN! “A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. He soweth discord. Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.” The foreign exhibits in bond at Jackson Park during the World’s Fair are being slowly released and removed. Only cne-third of this class of exhibits as yet has been taken away, and it is estimated that all can not, at the present rate of release, be removed before May 1. Archibald Arrington Henderson Williams represents a North Carolina district in the Fifty-third Congress. Mr. Williams so far has not come to the front with any measures of national importance, but a man with a name like that does not need to exert himself to achieve distinction. The manufacture of smokeless powder has created a demand for camphor that has doubled the price of the drug. Women adicted to fainting will find their pet calamity more expensive in the future, and now have an additional incentive to test the reviving virtues of a cold water douche. A widowers’ Association has been organized at Dresden on the general plan of a mutual insurance company, the object being to pay funeral expenses of deceased wives and to provide means for caring for their .children when it becomes necessary. The society also extends to a bereaved husband sympathy and entertainment. Editor Stead, now in Chicago “reforming" things, dressed himself in rags and applied, as a man-out-of work, for a job. Pie was given a shovel and worked three hours on the street for his supper and bed. He has written an account of his experience with many valuable suggestions to the chairman of the Chicago relief committee. Queen Victoria is under five feet in height and almost as broad as she is long. In spite of the disadvantages of her awkward figure it is said that she is extremely agile and graceful in all her movements, and the courtesys that this great-grand-mother is in the habit of making on great occasions are models that would be creditable in a maiden of sixteen. Armour, of Chicago, makes and sells pepsin for the millions of dyspentics in this cruel world, but has dyspepsia himself in such an aggravated form that he can eat no solid food. The great capitalist and philanthropist would doubtless be glad to exchange some of his millions for an appetitite like that which gives the average laboring man so much trouble to satisfy. The complications resulting from the Chinese exclusion act, which have never been fully settled, have had the effect of inciting our naval authorities to an activity never before considered necessary or practical in Chinese waters. The American squadron in that part of the world is to be strengthened, and the Baltimore, one of our best ships, is to be the flag ship of the fleet. A French professor of gymnastics has perfected a device for teaching novices to swim without going into the water, thus making it possible to fulfill the. conditions imposed by the old lady upon her daughter, “once upon a time.” The pupil is perched face downwards upon a sort of “shaving horse,” with supports for the limbs that make it possible to acquire a correct stroke. The machine will be adopted by the French army. David, the sweet singer of Israel, got in a great hurry one day, and remarked that, to the best of his knowledge and belief, all men were prevaricators from away back. The 1 immediate occasion of David’s wrath has not been handed down from the “dim and distant past,” but the probability is that the slayer of Goliath had just returned from a

tour of the Jew clothing stores ol Jerusalem during a January cut rate sale. ’Tis then the liar’s at his best and weary buyers pine for rest The battleship “Illinois” will be moved from its location off Jackson | Park to the lake front between Van Buren and Washington streets, Chicago, having been transferred by the United States government to the Illinois Naval Reserve. Flags, ensigns, and other paraphernalia, Hotchkiss guns and other arms, also were a part of the gift and the organization expects to enjoy excepttional facilities for naval training when the ship is transferred to it? new foundations. A suit for$10,000has been brought by Mr. Smith, of Kirklin. against Liveryman Wells, of the same village. Smith alleges that Wells hired a wild and vicious horse to him, and that the animal ran away, throwing him from the buggy and breaking his leg. The result of the suit will be awaited with interest by people generally. There is no question but what liverymen should be held responsible to a certain degree for the character of the animals furnished by them for public use. There is a skunk farm near Hackettstown, N. J., where a herd of twc hundred of the odoriferous animals flourish and taint the atmosphere for revenue only. Skunk pelts have of late years become valuable and the bodies also are boiled down for the grease which affords an 1 additional revenue of about fifty | cents for each animal. The two acre plot where the “critters” are now confined is surrounded by a wire netting sunk to a depth of three feet and a board fence four feet high surrounded by an oblique board projecting inward to prevent their escape. Black skunk pelts bring the highest prices. The hanging of the American citizen of African descent at Bards town, Ky., January 5, was a festive occasion. but incipient symptoms of a row of large dimensions developed early in the day because of a lack of unanimity that prevailed as to the proper hour for the stage performance to take place. Admission being free, the populace of the surrounding country turned out en masse. The- country people got in eai'ly and demanded that the suspension take place at 10 a. m. so they could go home for dinner. The town people demurred, as they were determined that the people should patronize the restaurants, and the stores incidentally, and thus help business —“Killing two birds with one stone,” so to speak. Mr. Evans, the party most interested, was not consulted, so that the hanging took place at the noon hour, and the people who were so desirous to get home in time for dinner were compelled to partake of a late repast or part with some of their cash for Bardstown refreshments. “Vanity, thy name is woman,” is a proverb the truth of which is often illustrated. Few members of the fair sex would care, however, to go to the extremes in pursuit of appearances that Miss Thornton, a California actress, did recently in New York, in search of a “pretty” nose. The facial protuberance that Miss Thornton had been compelled to follow through life was a veritable “thorn” in the flesh that made life a burden and fame a delusion and a snare. It was of the Roman type, I not at all exaggerated, and no one j would have considered it a deform- ; ity. But the ambitious actress \ thought otherwise, and accordingly i went to the Roosevelt Hospital and I gave the attending surgeons a “carte | blanche” to make a symmetrical i proboscis out of the abundance of j material on hand —or rather “on face.” The deed was done without serious consequences, by a skillful removal of a small portion of the bone, and the harmony of the actress’s features was fully to her own satisfaction and the enrichment of the sawbones staff of the institution. A flaxseed lemonade is excellent for a cold. Try a small quantity at first. To do this take a pint of water and add two small tablespoonfuls of the seed, the juice of two lemons, not using the rind, and sweeten to taste. When too pasty the mixture may be diluted with water. Always ice for drinking.

FIFTY-TIMDCONGRESS. In the Senate, Tuesday, after a short debate on the Hawiian question, a speech on the taril? question was made by Mr. Hallingcr. The bill to repeal the federal election laws was considered in the roguar order. Senator Palmer spoke In favor of repeal, A communication from the Secretary of the Treasury was laid before the Senate. Hill to establish a port of delivery at Bonner's Ferry. Idaho, passed. At ft:0> the Senate adjourned. In the House, Tuesday, amendments to the Wilson bill were considered. Little progress was made. Republicans made a struggle to secure the right to offer alternate amendments with Mr. Wilson, but the chair held that under precedents established by the consid -ration of the McKinley bill the majority of the committee had the sole right to perfect the bill before it became, open to miscellaneous amendment. Mr. Rowers secured recognition and argued in favor of the retention of the duty on raisins. He throw an armful of the California fruit toward the Demo■ratic side, and there was a general scramule to secure the fruit. The amendment restricting the tax on cigarettes to fl.r.O per thousand for those wrapped in paper was agreed to. The amendment to take chairs, cane or reed from the free list and impose a duty of 7 per cent, was adopted. The amendment to make the free wool schedule go into otleet August 1,189-1, was vigorously opposed by Mr. Johnson, of Ohio, and Mr. Warner on different grounds. Mr. Johnson held that the benefit to como from free wool would by this amendment be loo long delayed. Mr. Warner held that if the date was postponed uetil the following February the market for the season of 1894 might be retained. The date on which the free wool schedule was to go into effect became general but a vote could not be obtained. At 5:30 the House took a recess and at the night session the debate was continued until 10 o’clock when the House adjourned. The session of the Senate, Wednesday, was uneventful. The civil service law and its administration was discussed. Senator Berry objected to fourth class postmasters being kept in oilice to carry out the spirit of the law. Senator Hoar defended the law. Senator Chandler tried to secure an amendment to the bill repealing the federal election laws permitting cand dates for Congress to appoint a watcher at each precinct to guard his interests but a vote was not reached. Senator Gray tried to get Republicans to name a day when they would permit final action on the bill to be taken, but the request was evaded. At 5:15 the Senate adjourned. In the House, Wednesday, the consideration of the tariff bill was resumed, the pending amendments being those fixing the date at Which the wool schedule should go into effect. Mr. Morse, of Massachusetts, maintained that the country had been carried by the tariff reform party by false pretenses, as shown by the result of the elections last fall, and contended that the tariff should not be tampered with until the people had another chance to express their opinion at a general election. When a blow was struck at great corporations, he said.it was a blow as well at the laboring men employed by those corporations. The Johnson amendment to the free-wool clause of the tariff bill to go into effect immediately on the passage of the bill, was carried 113 to 103. An amendment to allow the free entry In bond of machinery as well as the material used in th t construction of ships was carried. At 5:10 the House took the usual recess. At the night session Mr. Sperry made an assault on the Wilson bill,stating that it was a free trade bill that would increase the deficit—already estimated at £70,000,000 by June 30 next—to $ 115,010X03. Other speakers were Messrs. Bower, Hunter, Hulick and Post. In the Senate, Thursday, the announcement of the resignation of Senator Walthall, of Mississippi, was received. Senator Walthall’s term expires March 3,1805. but he had been already elected for another full term of six years en ling March 3, 1901. 1 The condition of Mr. Walthall’s health compels him to resign public life. Mr. Vest discussed the federal election laws repeal. A bill appropriating $50,C0J for a statue of Gen. John Stark was passed after a protracted debate. After an executive session of ten minutes the Senate adjourned till Monday, Jan. 33.

In the House, Thursday, Mr. Burrows’s amendment to the Wilson bill restoring the existing duties on wool was defeated bv a party vote after a prolonged debate. Mr. Tom John} son, of Ohio, offered an amendment placing steel rails on the free list and made an explanatory speech in support of his amendment. A tilt ensued between Mr. Boutolle and Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson stated that ho was himself a manufacturer of steel rails, but he was not in Congress to vote money into his own pocket. He stated that free rails would not seriously affect the rail mills of the country. Mr. Dalzell retorted that Moxham, the President of the Johnson company, held one hundred and two patents which gave to his industry an impregnable wall of protection behind which the astute Mr. Johnson assumed the role of philanthropist, (Republican applause.) Continuing, Mr. Dalzell accused Mr. Johnson of paying his employes in depreciated scrip, and practically said that Mr. Johnson had lied when he stated that the scrip had been redeemed at a premium. The House took a recess until 8 o’clock. At the night session Mr. Sibley created something of a sensation by a bitter spei ch against the Wilson bill. He said he did not believe that tariffs made or unmade prosperity. He would support, he declared, a revenue tariff bill, such as was 1 demanded by the Chicago platform, but he would never vote for this bill, which j was a hybrid, half free trade and half 1 protection, with the vices of both and the

virtues of neither. The other speaker* were Messrs. McKeighan. DeForest and Russell. In the House, Friday, the argument between Mr. Johnson and Mr. Dalzell on the proposition to place steel rails on the free list was continued. Mr. Dalzell repeated the charges against Mr. Johnson made on Thursday. He further said that Mr. Johnson did not pay higher wages than other employers. Continuing, Mr. Dalzell* said: When all else is gone, one arrow Is left in the quiver of the free trade, demagogue abuseof Carnegie. [Republican applause. J Johnson and Carnegie stand in the same category; they are both robber barons, both have grown rich, but tin rn the similarity ceases, [Applause.] In the midst of the prevailing distress, Carnegie, the true philanthropist, is giving 85 001) a day for the relief of the poor in Pittsburg, while the false philanthropist from Cleveland takes advantage of the winter’s blast to dicker about the wages of his employes (applause). ‘Mr. Johnson,” he continued sarcastically, "has waxed fat on the watered stock of his street roads: his income from that source is $1,000 a day; his bank account is swelled by the manufacture of rails under the protection of patents —all this t suppose can be done outside of this chamber without criticism. So long as I have a voice here no one shall be allowed to masquerade as a philanthropist and with shameless and unblushing effrontery propose to strike down a rival interest. The Republican side of the House applauded Mr. Dalzell to the echo. When Mr. Johnson rose to reply the Democrats crowded around him. He said: I have listened to .the fearful tirade against myself and my partner, hut that oilers no reason why rails should not go on the free list. [Applause.] The personal side of this controversy was not brought into this House by me. I notified Mr. Dalzell three day ago that I intended to do what I have done, so that he might prepare to defend the steel rail pool. Instead of arming himself with arguments he has brought pins here to stick into me. [Laughter.] Willi reference to the personal charge he has made I desire to address myself briolly. The first, that I am a monopolist. 1 plead guilty. [Laughter.] The next is that 1 am manufacturing a class of rails protected by patents and would not be affected by free rails. We only have twenty or thirty patents on rails; we tried to perpetuate the monopoly and control the market, but theconrts decided against us. That threw us open to home competit ion. My amendment proposes to put girder rails on the free list, so that we will open to the world’s competition. [Applause.] Other speeches were made an the subject by Mr. Bland and Mr. Wilson. When a vote was reached the proposition placing steel rails on the free list was defeated, 79 to 100, the original paragraph of the Wilson bill remaining in force. The debate was general at the night session, Mr. Morgan was in favor of the general terras of the Wilson bill but condemned the proposition placing lead ore on the free list. The discussion of the tariff was resumed In the House, Saturday, but, owing to the introduction of the most recent correspondence on the hawiian question, in which great interest was taken by the members, little or nothing was done. The tin-plate schedule was argued and loft in abeyance, but it was unimportant, as it had reference only to the technicalities of the trade, and did not affect rates. The Henderson amendment to substitute the existing rates on agricultural products, the Dingley amendment to change the rates on lime for 10 per cent, ad valorem to a specific duty of G cents per hundred pounds, and the Crain amendment to reduce the duties on cotton and woolen goo Is from 45 per cent, to 25 per cent, were lost. A CHICAGO CONCERN. Its Liabilities Are *55,000.000 and Assets Only *449. A concern that can show liabilities of ?55,030,0J0 and assets of but $449 is something that causes even Chicago to opt n its eyes. These figures constitute the ma n features of the report of the receiver of the Guarantee Investment Company, filed, Friday, and the $55,0:0,000 represents t! o bonds of the company. The president of the company, C. B. McDonald, is now under sentence of Imprisonment for fraud. Every day express orders come in from all parts of the country for the company, hut these the receiver refuses. Bonds of the company were sold all over this country, and in the majority of cases were bought by persons who can not afford to lose the money.

HE RETURNS AFTER THIRTY YEARS. Emil Freynt, Frightened Away by AVar Humors, Trusts Again in America. Emil Freynt and his sister once lived near Leavenworth. Ind., and one morning, thirty years ago, Emil left home ostensibly on a business trip to that place. His horse and saddle were found at Leavenworth, but nothing was heard of him until a day or two ago, when he returned. It developed that the little Frenchman became excited over the war news and went direct to France, his native home. He was 41 years old at the time of his departure. He is now 73. His sister, Miss Ellis Freynt, is eleven years his senior. She still lives near the old home with a married sister. She has always mourm d for her brother under the supposition that ho enlisted and was killed In battle.

A YOUNG SWINDLER AT LARGE. A swindler, who has been operating extensively in Indiana during the past few months, successfully worked Crawfordsville parties Wednesday evening. He is a young German, and claims to be an agent for electrical apparatus. In Crawfordsville he traveled under the name of Ottman, and at Barnhill & Hornady’s store he attempted to pass a forged check for ?3‘>, with tho name of Henry Alfrey, the lumberman. attached. It was refused, and Ottman, leaving, went to Otto’s jewelry store, where he purchased a twenty dollar watch, and received J15 in change for the worthless paper. He escaped undetected.

■ANEW ENGLAND MIRACLi A Railroad Engineer Relates Hi> Experience. The Wonderful S tory Told by Fred C. Voso and His Motlier-in-haw to a Reporter of the Boston Herald —Both are Restored After Ye,.rsofAgony, Bcston Herald. The vast health-giving results already attributed by the newspapers throughout this country and Canada to Dr. Williams’ “Pink Pills for Pale People” have been recently supplemented by the cases of two confirmed invalids in one household in. a New England town. The names of these people are Fred C. Vose, his wife and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Oliver C. Holt, of Peterboro, mem bers of the same household.

To the Herald reporter who was sent to investigate Sis remarkable cure Mr. Vose said: “I am years old, and have been railroading for the Fitchburg for 15 years. Since boyhood I have been troubled with a weak stomach. For the past 7 \ ears 1 have suffered terribly and constantly. My stomach would not retain food; my head ached constantly and was so dizzy I could scarcely stand; my eyes were blurred; 1 had a 1 ad heartburn, and my breath was offensive. I had physicians, but they failed to help me. My appetite gave out, and four years ago I developed palpitation of the heart, which seriously affected my breathing. Had terrible pains in my back and had to make water many times a day. I finally developed rheumatic signs and couldn’t sleep nights. If I lay down my heart would go pit-a-pat at a great rale, and many nights I did not dose my eyes at all. I was broken down in body and discouraged in spirit, when some time in February last, 1 got a couple of boxes of Or. Williams’ Pink Pills. Before 1 had finished the first box I noticed that the palpitation of my heart, which had bothered me so that I couldn’t breathe at cimes, began to improve. I saw that in going to my home on the hill from the depot, which was previously an awful task, my heart did not beat so violently and I had more breath when I reached the house. After the second and third boxes 1 grew better in every other respect. My stomach became stronger, the gas belching was not so bad, my appetite and digestion improved, and my sleep bo>came nearly natural and undisturbed. 1 havecontinued takingthe pills three t rn'sa dav ever since !a--t March, and to-day I am feeling better than at any time during the last eight years. I can confidently and conscient’ously say that they have done me more good, and their -good effects are more p; rmanent than any medicine I have ever taken. My rheumatic pains in legs and hands areal! gone. The pains in the small of my back, which were so bad at times that I couldn’t stand up straight, have nearly all vanished, and I find my kidneys are well regulated by them. This is an effect not claimed for the pills in the circular, but in ray case they brought it about. I am feeling iOJ per cent, better iu every shape and manner.” The reporter next saw Mrs, Holt, who said: “I am 57 years old, and for 14 years past I have had intermittent heart trouble. Three years ago I had nervous prostration, by which my heart trouble was increased so badly that I had to lie down most of the time. My stomach also gave out, and I had continual and intense pain from fhe back of my neck to the endotmy backbone. In 14 weeks I spent $300 fi r doctor bills and medicines, but my health continued so miserable that I gave up doctoring in despair. I began to take Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills last winter, and the first box made me feel ever so much better. I have taken the pills since February, with the result of stopping entirely the pain in the spine and in the region of the liver. My stomach is again normal, and the palpitation of the the heart has troubled me but three times since I commenced the pills.” An analysis of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills shows that they contain, in a condensed form ail the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the bloor and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female, and all diseases resulting from viatiated humors in the blood. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of the price, (50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50 — they are never sold in bulk or by the 100) by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. r or Brockville, Ont. Murderer Heist was hanged at Harrisburg. Pa.. Wednesday, for the killing o£ Emanuel Mown In February, 1893.
