WASHINGTON GOSSIP

The bureau of engraving and printing Is at work' upon a new issue of notes. The plates for the $1 and $2 denominations having been completed and the notes issued, the engravers are now at work upon the $5 plate, and will take up the $lO plate within a few days. It will be five or six months before either will be ready for use. The S2O, SSO, SIOO, SSOO and SI,OOO plates will be taken up in turn, and will require several years to complete. The new plates are being prepared by the regular engravers of the bureau without assistance, and they can devote to them only such time as can be spared from their regular duties. Before work upon the new plates was commenced a design was adopted which will be followed in the entire government issue ofmoney. Very few of the old men in the Senate show their age. No one would ever suspect that Platt of Connecticut is 72, at that Cullom of Illinois was 70 last No vember. Senator Hawley of Connecticut is 73, Gear of lowa will be 75 next April, and Hoar of Massachusetts is 73. Senator Teller is still vigorous with hit seventieth birthday rapidly approaching, and Frye is a remarkably young man for his weight of nearly 70 years. Jones of Nevada is 69, and his colleague, Stewart, is 72. Senator Bate of like the late Senator Harris, will not disclose his age. He "must be 70 or thereabouts, for he was a soldier in the Mexican war, over half a century ago.” . Mrs. Dewey has shocked Washington officially and socially and has created no end of adverse criticism by disregarding the customs of the capital. Mrs. Dewey attended the White House reception on New Year’s day. She had prompted Admiral Dewey to ask for a place in the line of callers ahead of Gen. Miles. This was refused, and the admiral and his wife had to wait behind Gen. and Mrs. Miles. Mrs. Dewey became tired of this, and seizing Secretary Long by the arm when he passed the doorway she moved along with him. By doing this she passed the wives of the judges of the Supreme Court and others who were entitled to precede her. Secretary of the Treasury Lyman J. Gage intends to end his term of office with the close of this administration. He says it is his intention then to retire to private life. Assistant Secretary Frank Vanderlip also intends to sever his connection with the Treasury Department at the close of the McKinley administration. But Mr. Vanderlip will not retire from business. He has his eye on a New York bank—or, rather, the bank has its eye on him—and he will probably become its president. It isn’t often that we get sleighing in Washington, but when we do the population turns out eu masse to enjoy it. Anything and everything that is on runners is all right, and you see some of the queerest rigs imaginable. For instance, recently on Pennsylvania avenue, I saw one sleigh which consisted of a huge market basket on runners, and another had for its upper works a large wooden packing case. Both were jammed witn a grinning collection of darkies, and it’s a good guess that no one was having more fun than they were. The commissioner of internal revenue has decided that a physician who prescribes whisky, brandy, or any alcoholic liquor, which is not compounded with any dryg or medicinal substance for the purpose of forming a remedy, shall be required to pay the special internal revenue tax of $25 a year as a retail liquor dealer, provided he acts as a dispenser as well as a physician. The ruling is to apply even in cases where the liquor is prescribed strictly as a medicine and so used by the patient. The wedding of Gen. Miles’ daughter Cecelia was one of the most' beautiful and brilliant that has ever occurred in Washington. Miss, Miles has been a great favorite here, because of her lovely character and her personal attractions. Capt. Reber, her husband, is her third cousin, the son of the late Samuel Reber of St. Louis. His mother was a sister of the wife of Gen. Sherman. Twenty-three years ago Senator Teller entered the Senate. Only three Senators who saw him sworn in are still his colleagues—Allison of lowa. Cockrell of Missouri and Jones of Nevada. In the intervening twenty-three years over a hundred Senators have died. But Mr. Teller, although nearly three score and ten, is still strong and vigorous. The preliminary estimate of the production of gold aud silver in the United States during the calendar year 1899, made by Mr. Roberts, the director of the mint, shows a total gold production of last year of $7,231,170. The production of silver during the year is estimated at $74,424,696, an increase during the year of $4,040,211. Adjt. Gen. Corbin thinks the Lawton fund Will finally reach SIOO,OOO, which will be invested for Mrs. Lawtbn in government bonds and give her an income sufficient ,to provide against all want and enable her to educate her children properly. Brig. Gen. Greely, chief of the signal corps, is steadily recovering from the injuries inflicted on him by a drunken expressman. The resemblance between Roberts, the polygamist, and Senator Pritchard of North ' Carolina is remarkable. . They might be twin brothers. Both are of the same build, have the same cast of features, wear mustaches trimmed alike, and their curly hair might be duplicate wigs. Senator Kyle of South Dakota, the' tallest man in the Senate, is very fond of small boys, and by some strange affinity he likes the shortest page in that body.

Mind Your Ears.

Men and Women have much to do to keep straight. A hundred nerves and muscles are at work all through the waking hours, giving or receiving orders that the body, with its many joints and natural instability, shall preserve its equilibrium, shall not stagger or double up in a hopeless heap. These nerves and muscles are a highly organized signal service, the chief officers of which are in the semi-circular canals buried in the “stony” bone work that protects the inner ear. Were it hot for these canals a human being would find It difficult, often impossible, to maintain a proper balance either while walking or standing still. So long as these canals are in healthy working order their reports are trustworthy; but when any undue force has shocked them, or any agency, such as sickness, has interfered with their workings, their messages are incoherent, and the brain, like the engineer of a battle ship in action when the men above are blinded and bewildered, has nothing to do but let things go.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

oy local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure Deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when It Is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused bv catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused bv catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CH ENEY & CO.. Toledo, O.

Cable Conduit Motors.

An electrical engineer has invented a device for getting the hauling line for cables and wires through the conduit pipes. It consists of three rubber-tired wheels and a special clockwork arrangement that will send the wheels 400 feet at one winding. This new form of motorcar drags string through the pipe and the rest is easy.

Reward for Honesty.

When you ask for CASCARETS, Can dy Cathartic, and the man offers you tablets in bulk or "something just as good,” he is trying to swindle you. We are looking for dishonest dealers like that, for they not only steal our reputation and business, but endanger your health with cheap, unreliable and fraudulent substitutes in order to make a few more cents at your expense. Write us and furnish us with the evidence to convict such frauds and receive a liberal reward, at once. Address Sterling Remedy Co., Chi cago or New York.

Imperial Housekeeping.

It Is a popular custom to represent the German Empress as being above all a good “hausfrau” and one Interested In little else than household management This tradition is viewed with a certain amusement in aristocratic Berlin circles. The fact is, that the Empress has so little to do with the housekeeping of the palace at Potsdam that she relegates to the Emperor the daily task of receiving the official whose duty it is to supervise the management of the royal household. It was the consort of the late Emperor Frederick, born Princess Royal of England, who first took personal charge of the Prussian royal establishment. The greatest extravagance and waste prevailed before she and her practical husband took the matter in hand and effected sweeping reforms. Their example is followed by the present Emperor, who never gives the simplest dinner party without first calculating the exact cost per guest. The little daughter of the Emperor is receiving a careful education In all domestic branches, but the Empress takes no interest in any except in that of dressmaking. Most of her own and her daughter’s dresses are cut and made under her supervision. A large staff of needlewomen are employed, and one French or Viennese model gown is often copied in a number of different colors and fabrics. The Empress dresses with much elegance, but she has no particular reputation for originality.— New York Tribune.

Libby, McNeill & Libby.

The visitor passing through the plant of Messrs. Libby, McNeill & Libby, Chicago, is not only deeply interested in the cutting rooms, cooking kitchens, canning department and the wonderful mechanical contrivances for accomplishing the work speedily, but is greatly surprised by the vastness of their industry of packing and preserving dainty meats and specialties for consumers all over the world. Some idea of the enormous business of this firm can be obtained from the fact that they require capacity for 300,090 cattle and 100,000 sheep per annum, manufacture forty millions of cans a year or an average of 140,000 cans a day, and require 2.000 emp!"jjes to meet the demands of their trade.

Division of Time.

It is probable that time was first divided into the year by observation of the movements of the sun among the other heavenly bodies; that the revolution of the moon about the earth decided the length of the month, and the rising and setting of the sun marked the duration of the day.

Would Gladly Take the Dose.

A story told me the other day—certainly told for new, but good enough to be old: On one of the recent warm days a sour-visaged, middle-aged, fussy old lady got on one of the smoking seats on an open car In the subway. Next her sat a man who was smoking a cigar. More than that, the lady, sniffing, easily made out that the man had been eating onions. Still ipore than that, she had the strongest kind of suspicion that he had been drinking beer. The lady fussed and wriggled, and grew angrier, and looked at the man scornfully. Presently she could endure it no longer. She looked squarely at him and said: “If you were my husband, sir, I’d give yqp a*dose of poison!” The man looked at her. “If I were your husband,” said he, “I’d take it!”— Boston Transcript.

What Do the Children Drink?

Don’t give them tea or coffee. Have you tried the new food drink called GRAIN-O? It is delicious and nourishing, and takes the place of coffee. The more Grain-O you give the children the more health you distribute through their systems. Grain-O is made of pure grains, and when properly prepared tastes like the choice grades of coffee, but costs about % as much. All grocers sell it 15c and 25c.
