ances, but will say that I fall to agree with him on his three-principle suggestions of policy. I do not think it possible to secure the currency legislation which he recommends. Senator Chandler—l am especially pleased with the President’s intention to maintain a policy In the interest of international bimetallism. Senator Hanna—lt is a statesmanlike and American paper, impressive and convincing, and one whlclf will confirm the confidence the countrv has in the President. Senator Burrows—lt is a clear, concise and comprehensive message. It covers all our national concerns, national and foreign, treating them with frankness and great perspicuity. Senator Teller (silver Rep.)—l do not believe that any legislation will be enacted authorizing the retention of the greenbacks in the treasury until somebody is willing to pay gold for them. The radical advocates of the gold standard will not be willing to accept this, nor will the sliver men. so far as I am informed, favor this disposition of the financial question. It may be that the administration will be willing to go no further to meet the demands of the so-cal.ed currency reformers, but. judging from the utterances of the secretary of the treasury, he will be willing to make further concession. I do not believe that the suggestion for the tying up of the greenbacks will meet the approval of the people, as such a course would inevitably result in great contraction of the currency. Indeed, it looks to me as If the suggestions of the President would not be satisfactory to any great number of people of any party. The President is certainly mistaken when he says that the government Is obliged to redeem its obligations In gold. It has been the policy of the administration to so redeem, but there Is no compulsion on this point. Senator Pettigrew (silver Rep.) The President promises to retire the greenbacks, and in doing so he tries to disguise the method bv which it is to be accomplished. It is plain that if the President’s plan is adopted no more greenbacks can be In than there Is gold In the treasury. Thus the greenbacks virtually become gold certificates and will be Immediately retired. VIEWS OF REPRESENTATIVES. Expressions of Opinion from Beading Members of the Honse. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—Among members of the house who expressed opinions on the President’s message were the following: Mr. Hitt (Rep., 111.), chairman of the committee on foreign affairs: ‘‘The message shows that the President has promptly and effectively acted on the Cuban question in fulifilment of the sentiments he had previously expressed on the Cuban struggle for liberty, and the just expectations of the country. He has pressed upon the attention of the Spanish government the injuries our business interests were suffering, the imprisonment of American citizens, the barbarous warfare under Weyler and the need of change in the mode of government in Cuba. The result has been the liberation of every imprisoned American, the removal and disgrace of Weyler, the end of the concentration and starvation policy and the presentation of a system of self-govern-ment largely based on that of Canada. When our suggestions have thus all been accepted ard are being carried out in apparent good faith, which is shown by the opposition in Spain, he wisely thinks that good faith on our part requires that we let the measures we ourselves suggested be tried at least until we can see whether the Cubans themselves will be satisfied. The situation is vastly different from that of a year ago.” ~ Chairman Dingley. of Maine, said: The message is a practical state paper which will be generally approved. The President presents some excellent practical suggestions as to the currency. What the President says relative to Cuba will, I have no doubt, meet the hearty approval of the best sentiment of the country.” Mr. Dalzell (Rep., Pa.), of the ways and means committee: “So far as the currency part of the message is concerned, It will not meet the views of those who are demanding an entire reorganization of one system, while by those who believe as I do that any radical legislation on the subject would be unwise at this time the message will be accepted as wise and conservative. The recommendations as to Cuban matters, it seems to me, ought to meet the views of the great body of our people.” Mr. Dolliver (Rep.. Ia.): "The President s message is a clear and conservative statement of the national situation. It will meet general popular approval. As to the currency question the President’s omission to urge in detail the most radical reforms proposed by Secretary Gage, indicates that he will exercise a good deal of charity towards Congress, if that body should fail to get together on the question.” Mr. Grosvenor 'Rep., O.): “The message la an especially able, clear and satisfactory document all the way through. The currency discussion will challenge close examination and In the end will be found to be wise and beneficial. The Caban section Is frank, manly and patriotic.” Mr. Walker (Rep., Mass.), chairman of the committee on banking and currency said as to the financial features of the message: “I fear the message is not sufficiently specific and does not go far enough to relieve the situation. It does not recommend that anything shall be done until the revenues exceed the expenditures of the government, which may be many months in the future, and is far from immediate action. Secondly, the recommendation that greenbacks be not paid out except for gold when once redeemed in gold, if enacted into law. would enable one man with $1,000,000 of greenbacks demanding gold of the treasury and then depositing the goldfin the bank for greenbacks and repeating the process 346 times, to retire the whole $346,000,000 in the time It would take him to oscillate between the subtreasury in New York and his confederate foreign broker. The recommendation that banks be required to redeem their notes in gold with no other provision of law would cause every bank In the country to surrender its circulation and then what agency would keep the country on a gold basis?” Mr. Henderson (Rep., Ia.): “I am pleased with the President’s message because it meets clearly and squarely every vital and pressing question. On the money question it Is clear, stating our situation with marked Intelligence, pointing out our dangers and making certain recommendations that would certainly, if adopted, prevent, for the present, at least, disasters that we have experienced in the past. On the Cuban question his course has been active, intelligent, patriotic and wise.” Mr. Hull (Rep.. la.), chairman of the committee on military affairs: “The recommendations as to currency reform are more moderate than I expected, and it may be possible for us to come together in some way. Personally I am opposed to any action on the currency at this time. I do not believe in the International Monetary Congress. The result of the last year has to my mind demonstrated the futility of any further effort in this line. I cordially indorse the President's position as to the Hawaiian islands.Juut cannot agree to his suggestions as to Cxiba.” Mr. Richardson (Dem., Tenn.): “The message is wholly disappointing to the country. Nothing practical for financial improvement is recommended. The increase in revenues provided, while we are running behind nearly $10,000,000 a month; nothing for Cuba, but all for Spain; Cleveland’s policy of issuing bonds to maintain gold reserve Indorsed. All for gold and the single gold standard and nothing for bimetallism or relief to the people.” Mr. Sayers (Dem., Tex.): "The recommendation by the President that when any of the United States notes shall be redeemed in gold they shall be kept and set apart ard paid out only in exchange for gold will be, in my judgment, if carried out; an indirect method of retiring the greenbacks; and if such policy should prevail, it will be as fatal to the further use of these notes as currency as if they had been converted into bonds. In such a policy I do not concur. I also regard that portion of the message concerning Cuba as fatal to any action on the part of this government looking to the granting of belligerent rights to the revolutionists.” Mr. Bland (Dem., Mo.), the recognized free silver Democratic leader: “The President's proposition to retire the greenbacks by holding them in the treasury except lor gold deposits, means a contraction of the currency to the amount of the greenbacks so impounded. His statement of the situation as to international bimetallism will not bo accepted in earnest by anybody. There are few serious international bimetallists. but among them 1 suppose the President may be clnssed as one. The message on all subjects sounds apologetic and like an affidavit for a continuance.” Mr. Champ Clark (Dem., Mo.), a member of the committee on foreign affairs: ‘ The message will be a great campaign document for the Democrats. If the recommendations therein contained are adopted by the Republicans the Democrats ought to win in 1898 and 1900 hands down.” Mr. Cox (Dem., Tenn.), the ranking Democratic member of the committee on banking and currency: “The message in regard to the currency, in my judgment, Is an utter failure. If the policy advocated was carried out into law it could only reBuit in the contraction of the currency. Under the arguments made by the President It would be the duty of the government to redeem silver in gold on the application of the holder of silver as readily as It does the United States notes. So If •very paper dollar of the government was retired the raid could be made on the treasury just as well with silver. In regard to the recommendations as to the banking they are of such a character that no business bank would do business under such a law.” Mr. Cannon, chairman of the committee on appropriations: “I am much gratified with that feature of the message in which he says it is a commanding duty to keep the appropriations within the revenues of

the government and thus avoid a deficiency. Tht suggestion is parti alarly timely just now." Mr. DeArmond, of Missouri, said: "The message should be received with more favor in Spain than in the United States. And the masses of our people cannot fail to find in It the cautious disclosure of a purpose to retire the greenbacks, extend national banking, promote gold monometallism and defeat bimetallism. It is weak in substance and wrong in purpose. The most notable thing about it Is the timid advance toward the open advocacy of policies which the American public condemns.” MR. WOLCOTT DISAPPOINTED. Views of the Fresident of the Cuban American League. CLEVELAND, Dec. G.-Herfcert W. Wolcott, president of the Cuban American League, gave out a statement for publication to-day regarding the Cuban clause In the President’s message. Mr. Wolcott said: “I see by a morning paper that the attitude of McKinley on the Cuban question is gratifying to Spain, according to Senor Dupuy de Lome, the Spanisii minister. Since reading President McKinley’s message this afternoon I can readily believe that, and I think that his position is much mors gratifying to the Spanisii than it is to the friends of Cuba in this country. To tell the truth, I am really dlsaroointed. I had not expected very much on account of the late news from Washington, but the President shows by his message that he will not do anything now, and probably never. And this cannot, of cour e 1 *it disappoint friends of Cuba and tho ho believe that the President would f more nearly on the platform of bis pa hich declared that this government s" eld use its good offices to bring about ihe peace and the independence of the Islnn ' if Cuba. According to President McKi.fiey, the granting of belligerent rights .oum be a good thing for Spain and a bad thing for Cuba, but very singularly the prominent Cubans in this country desire it, and the Spanish minister and those like Senator Hale who approve of Spains cause in the island are opposed to granting. I hope that Congress will be more friendly to us Cubans than the President, and that something may yet be done for them within a short time.” W. J. Dryan’m Views. GALVESTON, Tex., Dec. 6.—Hon. William Jennings Bryan reached here to-day and left with a party of friends for Lake Surprise to hunt ducks. The party will be gone three or four days. Mr. Bryan expressed himself as follows on the? President's message: “The message indicates an intention on the part of the President to aid in turning the Issue of paper money over to the national banks and in the meantime a purpose to give gold a further superiority over silver as money.” LONDON PRESS COMMENT. Expressions Very Similar to Some of the Democratic Utterances. LONDON, Dec. 7—The Daily Telegraph, commenting editorially on President McKinley’s message this morning says: “It used to lie America’s proud boast that she had no foreign policy. Judging from President McKinley’s message, the new world is no more free from the burdens of diplomatic negotiations than the old. In a document of portentious length, mostly intended for Spanish consumption, President McKinley has devised a specious pretext for gaining time. It contains passages that will certainly wound Spain’s national susceptibilities. The whole tone, though meant to be conciliatory, savors too much of the magistrate availing himself o| the first offender’s act to be very acceptable at Madrid. Spain may not be so thick-skinned as we ere to these delicate usages of America’s diplomatic courtesy. Moreover, there are serious dangers of revolution in Spain, and the indiscreet adjectives President McKinley applies to General Weyler’s policy will not lessen the latter’s popularity. Much depends upon the attitude of Congress. If, as our correspondent thinks, the jingoes acquiesce in the decision of the executive and give the Spaniards a chance, all may yet be well, but recent experience does not make us over sanguine.”

The Daily Mail says it is “very satisfactory that President McKinley comes out ro strong against the jingoes.” The Dally Chronicle describes the message as “weak and colorless, compared with the vigorous handling of public questions to which Mr. Cleveland accustomed us.” It says: “The explanation of this Is simple. Mr. Cleveland was in front of Congress; Mr. McKinley is behind It. The President’s comments on the currency issue are positively child-like in their simplicity. It is safe to prophesy that his treatment of the Cuban question will be received with a storm. The annexation of Cuba would be a deplorable mistake; but the reasons for refraining from that course are not the milk and water ones Mr. McKinley advances.” The Morning Post, after paying a tribute to the President’s fine sense of duty, in the face of domestic trouble, in sending the message at the appointed hour, says: “The message adumbrates a scheme of legislative effort less short-sighted and less calculated to set class against class than the misguided policy of the last session. On the Cuban question the President i3 vague and diffuse, but studiously correct. Cuban matters, however, are unimportant, as compared with the grave issues of domestic affairs. The big battle of the session will be fought on the ground of home politics and finances. The editorial specially praises President McKinley’s treatment of the currency question. The Times says: ”Its tone of patronizing tolerance will make the message not wholly agreeable to Spain. Probably the President calculates that if he can satisfy the jingoes for a time with elpquent denunciations and warnings, he will find it easier to pursue a moderate policy. Regarding his currency proposals it seems too probable that Mr. McKinley still clings to the notion that something may be done for silver. So ong as he follows that will-o’-the-wisp, he can hardly be expected to attempt any thoroughgolng reform of the currency.” The Standard says: “The best that can be said of the message Is that it is absolutely unexciting. Asa distinguished poli tician the President labored under grave difficulties, and it is no reproach to his skill that he has /ailed to surmount them. If Mr. McKinle# rtpresents anything so far it is the new tariff, which is confessedly a palpable failure. The whole currency plan hangs upon the condition of an exchequer surplus, but when will that happy day arrive? Foreign affairs are treated temperately. With regard to Cuba the President has taken care to keep within the limits of international comity and good feeling. With reference to his declaration that should America be compelled to intervene it will' only be because the necessity for such action will be so clear as to command the support and approval of the civilized world.” The Standard exclaims, “The Spanish Ministry can sleep in peace!” The Daily News says that the message is characterized by a desire to displease nobody. Referring to Secretary Gage’s currency plan, the editorial asserts that Mr. Cleveland’s similar plan never found favor with Congress. As to the Cuban question the Daily News thinks “the message rings true and promises a fair trial of Spain’s new plans, more than which the President could not be expected to do.” Growl from La Lncha. HAVANA, Dec. 6.—La Lucha, in its leading editorial to-day, says: “The Madrid government awaits the contents of President McKinley’s message to Congress. It is believed that its tone will be satisfactory, although the cabled summary published here should not satisfy Spanish patriotism, as Mr. McKinley only admits that Spain gives autonomy to Cuba as a step to pacify the island, and says that in view of this Spain must be allowed sufficient time to obtain the results of her concessions. This, Mr. McKinley points out, was said by Mr. Cleveland and Secretary Olney also, but these words do not lay the President under any obligation, while they are unsatisfactory to Spa.n, as they only indicate a period of t.me, more or less, for Spain to end the revolt. It set*ms that the President recognizes the right of the United States to interfere in affairs exclusively within the authority of Spain. In view of this, It is to be expected that, if the revolt does not end in a period of time acceptable to the Americans, they will interfere in a more decisive and effective manner than heretofore. Thus far the Washington government has met with no obstacle in doing or undoing as It pieasts. It remains to be seen whether the Madrid government will tolerate the White House In going beyond the limits of prudence and reason, or whether, in response to this new and wary demand, Spain will reply with such dignity and energy as her indisputable rights, her history, character and feelings demand." As Viewed by Mexicans, CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 6.—Mexican public opinion regarding President McKinley’3 utterances on the Cuban question is that they will greatly strengthen the Sagasta government and enable It to win friends in Spain for its reform policy in the island The clerical party naturally regards the at-

titude of the President as wise and prudent, but the masses, who favor Cuba, would have liked to see belligerency accorded the insurgents, as such a course would have led eventually to similar action in Latin America. Resident Cubans are opposed to autonomy in Cuba, and assert that the fight wid go on. and that the autonomists in the island are a feeble minority. They utterly distrust the promises of Spain. The Mexican Herald says it was fortunate for the American colonies in the revolt against Great Britain that the French King did not take the same view of their belligerency as does the President of the United States of the Cuban patrio;s’ cause. DRANK WOOD ALCOHOL. Two Women anil a Man Poisoned W hile on a Spree. EXETER, N. H., Dec. 6.—Three residents of this town died to-day as the result of drinking wood alcohol. The victims are: Horace Quimby and wife and Mrs. Annie Fitzsimmons. While It is known that all three drank wood alcohol last night, it is possible that another poison was mixed with the spirits, as a bottle of oil of cedar and an ointment containing carbolic acid were found in the house where the three lived. The police ate of the opinion that all met their death by accident. This morning when a neighbor called at the Quimby house no one responded, and later the fact that the house seemed deserted brought about an investigation. The Fitzsimmons woman was found dead, and it was thought that she died from natural causes, and that Quimby and his wife were sleeping off a debauch. When the police were notified the Quimbys were taken to a hospital, where they died. The victims had been heavy drinkers, and the Fitzsimmons woman is known to have bought the alcohol last night. She leaves a young baby, while the Quimbys leave two young daughters. PEACE MAY BE RESTORED. Republican Factions of New York City Trying; to Get Together. NEW YORK, Dec. ' 6.—Correspondence looking to a reorganization of the Republican committee of New r York county has been passing between Chairman Quigg, of the body named, and James Yearance, representing Republicans who have been opposed to the committee as at present constituted.

COLLISION AT SEA. Steamship Coreun Struck, by an Unknown Vessel ami Disabled. HALIFAX, N. S., Dec. 6.—The steamship Corean has put into this port in a disabled condition, having been in collision wijh an unknown steamer.

Suddenly the black hull of another large steamer loomed up on the port side of the Corean, and before the steamers had time to clear there was a fearful crash. The Corean was slowed down and then brought about, but nothing further was seen of the stranger, and it is not known what ship she was and to what extent she suffered. The other vessel was almost as large and the effect of the shock was terrible. The cattle sheds on the afterpart of the ship were strained and a number of cattle killed and injured from the effect of the shock. Movements of Steamers.

MRS. M’KINLEY WEAKER SHE MAY LIVE UNTIL IIER SON ARRIVES THIS MORNING. Yesterday She Rallied and Retnrned to Consciousness, hat Last Night Begun to Sink. , ♦ CANTON, 0., Dee. 6. There was an agreeable surprise to the children and friends gathered about the bedside of Mrs. Nancy Allison McKinley this afternoon. She regained consciousness sufficiently to recognize not only her children, but to extend greeting to them, to her aged sister, Mrs. Osborne, Charles Miller and to others who were near. Nourishment was given her about noon. It was soon after this that she manifested signs of returning consciousness. The first nourishment received for several days had a telling effect, and she at once rallied. There is again stronger hope that she may recover sufficiently to survive until the President reaches her bedside to-morrow morning and perhaps to recognize him. It is not thought, however, that she will ever regain complete consciousness. When the attending physician left Mrs. McKinley this evening it was with a feeling that she would survive the night and possibly longer. She had taken no nourishment since early in the afternoon, and was not in quite as good condition as when she seemed to recognize those about her. But she sustained little net loss of strength during the day and was reposing in a quiet and seemingly natural condition. At 10:30 to-night Mrs. McKinley is exceedingly low. She has just experienced one of the sinking spells, during which life seemed to be almost extinct. There are some moments w r hen she does not seem to breathe. If she rallies from this spell she will probably survive the night, but just now it seems doubtful that she will rally. Her puise is weak and uncertain, more so than at any other time, and her breathing is difficult. The physician, when he last called, reported that she had weakened perceptibly. He has not despaired that she will survive the night, but he cannot feel confident of it. The latest advice received from the President is that he will come in by regular train, which will reach here at 10:2G a. m. A special may possibly be run from Pittsburg. CANTON, 0., Dec. 7.-At 1:15 a. m. Mrs. McKinley seemed even weaker than an hour ago, although there was no more marked indication of the coming dissolution. She may live until morning, but it now seems doubtful. President En Route to Canton. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. President McKinley left Washington at 7:20 o'clock tonight to return to the bedside of his mother at Canton. With him were Mrs. McKinley, Miss Mabel McKinley, Miss Barber, Mrs. Abner McKinley, Assistant Secretary of State Day, A. J. Duncan, two maids and the steward of the White House. The party occupied the special Pullman car Newport, which was attached to the rear of the regu-. lar Western express. According to the schedule, the train is due in Canton at 10 o’clock to-morrow, but on the receipt of unfavorable news from Canton it may be rusued through on special time from any point beyond Baltimore. MOTHERS OF OLlt PRESIDENTS. They Were Not All Poor, but All Were Devout Women. Philadelphia Press. It is a mistake to imagine that our Presidents’ mothers have ail come from the ranks of poverty. Eleven, or half, have been in easy circumstances and had a competence, but all without exception wore godly and devout women. No American has ever become President without the memory of the prayers he lisped at his motlier'a knee, and more than one has recorded their iniluence. Zachary Taylor’s mother was the wife of a colonel in our revolutionary army and Pierce’s mother was tiie wife of a continental officer of no large fortune, a farmer, but comfortably off. W. H. Harrison’s mother was the wife of one of the most distinguished men of his day, and his grandson, Benjamin Harrison, has as his mother a woman long familiar with public life. Among those of narrow means were the mothers of Arthur, Malvina Stone, and of Cleveland, Anne Neal, who were both minister’s wives, though neither lived to see her son President. Thomas Jefferson's mother, Jane Randolph, inherited the wealth of her family, and her son lost it. Frances Taylor, the mother of James Madison, cagie of a family of means, and her brother was Zachary Taylor’s grandfather. Hayes’s mother had ample means. Nor was Grant’s mother, Jane Simpson, without her share by kindred of connection with a family whose deeds are known % In our own day the two Presidents’ mothers who have most moved the public love and admiration have been Eliza Ballou, the mother of Garfield, and the mother of William McKinley. The popular imagination W’as touched by the spectacle of the son of the former taking his oath of office on his mother's Bible, his mother at his side, as the Nation's heart is to-day moved by the presence of the President at his mother’s bedside. Both these women are of the antique type, full of godliness, of heroic faith, of unswerving determination, of high aim and that broad and elevated outlook on the principles of life and the affairs of men which distinguished the mother of Washington. In these days when women seem to be educated for everything but the duties of motherhood and trained to every aspiration and ambition but those w'hich lead to the birth and nurture of their own children, it is well to remember that the Presidents of the United States have visibly owed far more to their mothers than to their fathers —more than half were early left fatherless. The greatest of them were less heroic figures, those who knew both have believed and testified, than the mothers who bore them. Not a President but has left somewhere on record his own testimony to the influence and training of a Christian mother. It is well that a nation should stand with bared head, as it does to-day, at the deathbed of a President’s mother. It is more that those sound traditions of faith, of personal religion and of glad self-sacrifice which have ennobled the mothers of our Presidents should remain the heritage of the daughters of America, among whom are to-day walking the mothers of our Presidents for half a century to come.

NO HANDBILLS FOR HIM. Wunumaker Telia Why He Advertise* in Newspaper* Only. Wood and Cotton Reporter. “I never in my life used such a thing as a poster or a dodger or handbill,” said John Wanamaker. “My plan for twenty jears has been to buy so much space in a newspaper and fill it up as I wanted. I would riot give an advertisement in a newspaper of FOO circulation for 5,000 dodgers or posters. If I wanted to sell cheap Jewelry or run a gambling scheme I might use posters: but I would not insult a decent reading public with handbills. The class of people who read them are too poor to look to support in mercantile affairs. I deal directly with the publisher. I say to him: “ ‘How long will you let me run a column of matter through your paper for SIOO or $500,’ as the case may be. I let him do the iiguring. and if I think he is not trying to take more than his share I give him the copy. I lay aside the profits on a particular line of goods for advertising purposes. “At first I laid aside $5,000. Last year I laid aside and spent $40,000. I have done better this year, and shall increase the sum as the profits wurrant it. I owe my success to newspapers, and to them I freely give a certain profit of my yearly business.” Refuted.

It is noticeable that none of the interviews with statesmen on “What Congress will do” bear the Thomas Brackett Reed O. K. mark. The Cupture of (aui*:t. HAVANA, Dec. 6.—Details have been received of the fighting at Guisa. The Spanish column, under Colonel Tover, was delayed four days before arriving and capturing the position of the insurgents. The Spanish >o*t a captain, a lieutenant and twenty soldiers wounded. According to the official account, the Spanish garrison defended the town

heroically. It consisted of eight hundred men. The forts, five houses and three hundred huts were destroyed. Eight men, in charge of the heliograph, resisted until all were wounded. The insurgents were live thousand strong and had six cannon. They were commanded by Gen. Calixto Garcia. Gen. Jesus Rabi and General Ramirez. A large quantity of dynamite was used. THE CAPITOL CRYPT. Notv Completely Restored and of Impressive Grandeur. Washington Special to Philadelphia Telegraph. The clearing out of the old brick partitions from the crypt of the Capitol,; which was begun some time ago, has beeh completed, and the whole place has been painted. The effect Is even more wonderful tnan it promised to be. 1 doubt if there is anything more impressive in the architecture of this capital city than is this crypt. It is solemnly, somberly grand. Its grandeur disclosed for the first time in twenty years, it seems as if it had just been dug from the earth, where it had laid buried since an age of architectural splendor. There is nothing ornate about it in color or form. It ia simply a forest of perfectly plain columns standing close' together and filling in an immense circle—as large as the rotunda above —the columns supporting a hetwork of interlacing arches. The intersecting areht s make sharp angles, though the swell of each arch Is full and round. The vaulted celling thus formed is low enough, together with the short, thick columns, to give the chamber the appearance of great size and to render it grandly somber. I believe It would be impossible for any one to enter this crypt, as it now is, its entire outline and proportion disclosed, for the first time without pausing at the entrance with a sense of awe and wonder. There is probably no one In the present House, and but few in the Senate, who renumber this chamber before it was cut up with partitions. Its complete restoration has occurred since the adjournment of the extra session. Therefore most of Congress see it for the first time. Even the most unobservant among them start and pause as if oppressed by some new emotion on seeing it for the first time. The more impressionable stand long in contemplation and return again and again. Its dim aisles bent in circles between the columns seem made for meditation and inspire solemn thoughts. Frivolity would pause at the threshold, and either enter not at all or else change to the guise of serious thoughtfulness. There one might walk and meditate upon great things only; the mind might take on the fulness of the swelling universe and the somber shades of the sepulcher. I doubt if any one, from a child to a sage, could pass through this restored crypi without feeling some sort of emotion. VI A Mistake Churches Make. New York Outlook. 1 Churches are located now without any common consideration. The denominations do not confer with one another. There is one city in New England in which two prominent churches of the same denomination. on© of which cost about $200,000. and the other over $300,000, are placed within a hundred feet of each other. The second came there against the protest of the first, The example is a scandal in the community. But this is not an Isolated instance. In a small town in another part of the country, within hardly more than a thousand feet of one another, stand eight churches. In not more than one instance could the location have been selected because of the need of the district; what influenced the others was the desire to be in a certain aristocratic neighborhood. Still more pernicious is the influence in small villages, where six or eight denominations crowd in and only one or two at the most are needed. The result is an appalling waste, both of men and of means. The treasuries of the missionary societies are ' either depleted, or, if not drawn upon, deprived of what they would otherwise receive for regions where there is actual spiritual desolation. Such overlapping federation would prevent. And in this country even more than in England, because of our vast territory, it is desirable that the Christian sentiment should be able to speak concerning social and political questions with a common voice. Ranting' and the Dueliess of Teck. Harper’s Bazar. The late George Von Bunsen, the accomplished and delightful son of the baroness, whose "Life and Letters” are well known in America, once told me an anecdote of the Princess Mary and the celebrated Banting. The princess became in her middle life enormously stout, and, finding her weight a burden, tried several methods ol’ reducing it. At last, having heard much of Banting, she sent for him. She was surprised to see that he was still extremely bulky, and after a few civil prepaiatory remarks she said, "But your system has not made you very thin, Mr. Banting?” "Allow me, madam,” said Banting, and proceeding to unbutton his coat, he disclosed a large wire structure over which the garment fitted. Inside was the real Banting encased in another coat. ‘"J’his, madam," said he, pointing with pardonable satisfaction to his cage, "was my size before I commenced dieting.” He then nimbly disembarrassed himself of his framework and stood before the royal lady exhibiting his elegant figure. Apparently the interview led to nothin* but amusement, for the good Duchess of Teck remained very stout to the end of her days. A Plucky Indiana Girl. New Castle Courier. Some five weeks ago J. N. Priddy, who drives the hack between Cadiz and this city, was stricken with typhoid fever and. took to his bed. Os course, his business was the source of his living and that of his family, and so his daughter, Miss Clara Priddy, resolved to take up her father’s work and maintain the income. She took charge of the hack and team, drove here every morning in all kinds of weather, took care of the horses here, looked after the loading of heavy consignments of merchandise and carried the mail for nearly five weeks. Most of the time she came alone, and often a lady friend accompanied her, making her trips more enjoyable. To-day her father was sufficiently recovered to resume his w ork. f Priest Killed While Cycling;. BOSTON, Dec. 7.—Rev. Francis A. Smith, S. J., one of the three priests conducting a mission at St. Peter’s Church, Roxbury, was killed last evening while riding a bicycle by a collision with a team. Father Smith was widely known in the Jesuit order and in missionary work, especially in the South. He came from St. John’s College, Fordham, N. Y. Chicago to Be Gerrymandered. CHICAGO, Dec. 6.—The Democratic majority in the City Council to-night passed a resolution providing for the redistricting of the city wards of Chicago. A committee of seven aldermen appointed by Mayor Garrison will have the task of redistricting. The Republicans in the Council made a hard fight to defeat the resolution, but were unsuccessful. Munitions of \V*r Landed. FORT PIERCE, Fla., Dec. 6.—The schooner White Wings has landed a cargo of munitions of war in Cuba. She was discovered by a Spanish vessel, and in trying to get away sprang a leak. The schooner was beached and the crew escaped in small boats. Charlotte's Idea. Kansas City Journal.
