TRAVELLERS' BURDENS LIFTED.

Agenta Will Now See that They Are Properly Prepared for Their Journeys Over the Ocean. > Persons coming from the Interior on their way to a trip at sea will now be provided for by agents whose business it will be to see that they are properly located on board their steamships. At the pier, if they come over the New York Central lines, they are met by a uniformed person, who takes entire charge of them. He sees that their baggage is checked, that they designate the trunks which are to go into the hold and the ones for their staterooms. These agents also greet the passengers arriving from Europe. The baggage of the passengers is transferred to the New York Central lines. They are advised about hotels; are advised on the subject of cab hire. Their transportation, their sleeping car berths and all matters of that kind are carefully arranged for them. This service is in the charge of two men of wide experience in the steamehip business. Captain Louis Ingweraon Is major domo at the piers of the American, Cunard, White Star, Atlantic Transport, Anchor, Wilson and Al-lan-State lines and Captain F. A. G. Schultze is at the North German Lloyd, Hamburg-American, French, Rotterdam, Red Star and Thingvalla line piers.—From the New York Herald.

Congress.

Most of the day was occupied by the House Friday in discussion of the President’s policy of vetoing bills to remove the charge of desertion from the records of soldiers. The subject came up with private pension bills, 215 of which were passed. By unanimous consent a bill was passed to confer jurisdiction upon the court of claims to adjudicate the claims for duties collected on goods going into Porto Rico between April 11, 1899, and May 1, 1900. The bill provides that the claims found due shall bear interest at 6 per cent. The refund of these duties is made necessary by the decision of the Supreme Court. Mr. Cannon, from the committee on appropriations, reported the sundry civil appropriation bill, and gave notice that he would call it up on Monday. Most of Saturday in the House was devoted to the bill increasing the efficiency of the revenue cutter service, but consideration of it was completed. The opening argument was made by Mr. Sherman (N. Y.). Speeches were made in its favor by Messrs. Minor (Wis.) and H. C. Smith (Mich.), and against it by Messrs. Richardson (Ala.), Little (Ark.), Cochran (Mo.) and Mann (III.). The general debate was limited to eight hours. The Chinese exclusion act was made a special order after the disposal of the revenue cutter bill. The Miles correspondence called by the Burleson resolution was laid before the House at the opening of the session. During the entire session of the Senate on Monday the oleomargarine bill was under consideration. Mr. Ixidge. chairman of the committee on Philippines, reported the bill temporarily to provide for the administration of thd affairs of-the civil government of the Philippine islands. In the House consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill was begun and general debate was ended before the close of the session. Little of the speechmaking was pertinent to the bill. Mr. Cannon, chairman of the appropriations committee, who was in chrage of the measure, in a brief preliminary* statement, explained that the bill carried $49,323,895, being $12,455,542 less than the estimates and $12,572,012 less than the current law. He called attention to the fact that the taxes collected are being reduced. Last year $41,000,000 of - war taxes were removed and this year $70,000,000 will go, making a total reduction of revenue in two years of $111,000,000. Mr. Payne, chairman of the ways and means committee, reported the Cuban reciprocity bill and gave notice that he would call it up the following Tuesday.

In the Senate on Tuesday an agreement was reached to vote on the oleomargarine bill before adjournment Wednesday. Debate on the measure was continued throughout the session. Mr. Stewart reported the Indian appropriation bill and gave notice that he would call it up at an early date. In the House rapid progress was made with the sundry civil appropriation bill, ninety-three of the 139 pages of the measure being completed. Efforts to amend the bill were successfully resisted ns a rule by Mr. Cannon, the chairman of the appropriations committee, who was personally in charge of the measure. Mr. Sulzer (N. Y.) offered an amendment to appropriate $50,000 for lighting the torch of Bartholdi's statue of liberty in New York harbor. It was rejected by a vote of G 1 to 67. During the day Mr. Robinson (Ind.) discussed the ‘‘passing of the House” as a deliberative body to which Mr. Bell (Colo.) had addressed himself Monday. The Senate which uow perfected legislation, he complained, was dominated by thirty Senators representing fifteen States with less population than either New York or Pennsylvania. The present condition of affairs in the House, he said, was due to the concentration of all the power of the House in the hands of the speaker and the committee on rules. Mr. Grow il’a.) discussed the question of electing Senators by popular vote. He favored a constitutional amendment for that purpose.

Discussion of the oleomargarine Dill again occupied most of Wednesday in the Senate. Bills were passed authorizing the appointment of John Russell Bartlett as a rear admiral on the retired list of the navy; transferring a lot in Woodland Cemetery to the City of Quincy. 111., and extending the time for presentation of claims to reimburse the Governors of States and Territories for expenses incurred by them in aiding the United States to raise and organize an army in the war with Spain to Jan. 1. 1003. Sev-enty-one private pension bills were also passed. In the House the sundry civil appropriation bill was passed, making the eighth of the regular annual supply bills which has passed nt this session. Duly a few unimportant amendments were attached to it. After it was disposed of debate on the revenue cutter bill was resumed. Messrs. Sulzer (New York!. Bellamy (North Carolina), Ryan (New York). Lessler (New York) ami Goldfogle (New York) apokm for the measure, and Messrs. Loud (California) and Crumpacker (Indiana) against it. Mr. Loud said he was opposed on principle to retirement with pay of employes of the government. Had he been a member of Congress when the law was enacted for the retirement of naval or army otiieers he would have antagonized it.

STORY OF GOLD.

Interesting Extracts from * Recently Issued Book. Interesting statistics about gold mining are given In the Commercial Geography, by Cyrus C. Adams, published by the Appletons, as follows: Gold Is one of the few metals that is often found pure. Most of It, however, is alloyed with other metals, chiefly silver. It occurs in veins, in quartz and other rocks, and is obtained by crushing and smelting the rock (quartz mining). A great deal of gold freed from the rock by water and heat, cold and other disintegrating Influences is mixed with gravel and sand in the beds of streams or on the seashore, and is obtained by •washing (placer mining). The world’s production, rapidly increasing in recent years, is nearly $300,000,000 a year. The United States was long foremost in gold production, but in 1898 the South African republic attained the first place. Nearly all the gold mined in this country comes from the Western States and Territories, including Alaska. The beauty and value of gold make it highly prized for oniamentation. About a fifth of the product, therefore, is annus' y consumed in arts, France occupying the first place in this use of the mt*al, followed by the United Kingdom and the United States. As the metal is too soft to be used pure, it is alloyed with copper or silver. The quantity of alloy added to gold in jewelry is from 12 to over 50 per cent. Pure gold is called 24 carats fine. When there are equal parts of gold and alloy the mixture is 12 carats fine. Most of the gold output Is coined. It is the standard money of many nations. Its great advantage as money Is that usually it cannot be obtained without great labor, and that it fluctuates little in value. The average output per miner does not often exceed $6 to sl2 a week, and counting wages and cost of machinery $1 is believed to be expended for each one dollar’s worth of gold produced. Many mines are very profitable, but we hear little of the large sums expended In unprofitable mining.

Metals as Fuel.

“Metals may be burned for the sake of the heat and light they produce, just as ordinary fuels are burnt," said Prof. \ Roberts-Austen, in a recent discourse. But the burning of metals, he proceeded to show, differs from that of ordinary fuels in that the products of combustion are not gaseous but solid". An instance of burning metal for the sake .of light is furnished by the “magnesium star,” a contrivance by which a shell packed with magnesium and attached to a parachute is fired electrically high in the air, thus producing an illumination of the ground beneath at night This finds its use in warfare. Recently aluminum has been fop ad to be an admirable fuel for producing an Intense heat to be used in welding. This kind of metallic fuel has assumed much industrial importance at Essen, in Germany.

DAN GROSVENOR SAYS: “Pe-ru-na is an Excellent Spring Catarrh Remedy--! am as Well as Ever.” HON. DAN. A. GROSVENOR, OF THE FAMOUS OHIO FAMILY. Hon. Dan. A. Grosvenor, Deputy Auditor for the War Department, in a letter written from Washington, D. 0., says: ••Allow me to express my gratitude to you for the benefit derived from one bottle of Peruna. One week has brought wonderful changes and lam now as well as ever. Besides being one of the very best spring tonics it is an excellent catarrh remedy.”— DAN. A. GROSVENOR. In a recant letter he says: "I consider Peruna really more meritorious than I did when I wroet you last. I receive numerous letters from acquaintances all over the country asking me if my certificate is genuine. I invariably answer, yes.”—Dan. A. Grosvenor.

A Congressman's Letter. Hon. H. W. Ogden, Congressman from Louisiana, in a letter written at Washington. D. 0., says the following of Peruna, the national catarrh remedy: "I can conscientiously recommend you Peruna as a fine tonic and al! around good medicine to those who are in need of a catarrh remedy. It has been commended to me by people who have used it, as a remedy particularly effective in the cure of catarrh, For those who need a good catarrh medicine I know of nothing better.”—H. W. Ogden. Treat Catarrh in Spring. The spring is the time to treat catarrh. Cold, wet winter weather often retards

a cure of catarrh. If a course of Peruna is taken during the early spring months the cure will be prompt and permanent. There can be no failures if Peruna is taken intelligently during the favorable weather of spring. As a systemic catarrh remedy Peruna* eradicates catarrh from the system wherever it may be located. It curve catarrh of the stomach or bowels with the same certainty as catarrh of the head. If you do not derive prompt and satlafactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you hia valuable advice gratia. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Ohio.
