WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and (Jeneral Gossip of the National Capitol. Secial Correspondence to The Democrat: When the Congressional roll was called on Monday the unanimous response was “Present or accounted for.” Almost all of the members of both houses are here ready for business —or, at any rate, for talk. The Virgin of the Capitol is seen upon her lofty perch to touch her Liberty cap to her guests and make observations concerning the spectacle and the hubbub: The metal Goddess on the Dome Where morn's first sunbe im glistens, Disturbed in her exalted home Bends down her head and listens. She watches each converging track; She bears the engines humming. And shouts “I see them hurrying nack— Hurrah! The kids are coming! John Sharp who blows the Dig trombone Is climbing up the gravel. And Champ Clark with his cacophone And Joseph with his gavel. Bill Cowherd, looking rather glum, Advances towards the middle, Claude Kitchen with his kettledrum And Cushman with his fiddle. This must be Dalzell drawing near; I hear the drone of Dresser; And there's the Nutmeg financier, And There’s the Buckeye guesser. I see that Byrd is on the wing; I hear a thousand voices And my Bourke Cockran trumpeting Above the horrid noises. And there are frolicsome Depew And Lodge, who owns the Senate; Wisconsin's Fuzzy-Wuzzy, too — r I hear him toot this minute. There’s Sulzer, Hemenway, McCall, Willett, the Landis brothers, .And Hitt and Hale and Hull And Platt and Payne and others, If I’d a hypodermic tube For Uncle Sam’s protection, I'd load it up with common sense And give ’em an injection.

The goddess yawned and stret-hed, and said, "I have a vague impression 'Xba: possibly His Gracious Nibs Will call an extra session.” She drew her peplum o’er her breast, Her shawl across her shoulder, Just scratched her ankle with her toe, And sighed, “It’s getting colder." Great preparations are being made for the inauguration next March. The president has excited some hostility here by taking the whole affair into his own hands, as he did his election, turning down our most prominent local Republicans and appointing in their place his "dear friend” Col. John M. Wilson, with whom he was thrown in intimate association during his membership of the Civil Service Commission ten years ago. The appointment is

regarded ns an emphatic announcement that the inaugural ceremonies are to be mainly military. It will probably be the most showy and numerously attended inangnration of a president ever held. Already scores of state officials are here to make arrangements for regiments, companies, and civic associations which will take part. The President will co operate with his usual self-assertion to make it “a great show.” He has ordered the battalion four companies of Philippine scouts (mostly Maccabebes) who have been at the St. Jjouis Exposition, to remain in’ this country and participate in the honors to “their President.” New public buildings and tremendous local improvements are going rapidly on and the city on March 4 will be in its most attractive holiday garb.

The President’s bulletin excluding a Boston paper from hews sources is felt to have been inexpedient because about as ineffectual as the Pope’s bull against the comet. The paper will get the news just the same, perhaps more abundantly than ever, and the advertisement is worth untold sums. But its offense was a gross one; for Mr. Chester A. Snow, president of the Humane Society here, says that the President is a champion of kindness to aiimals and always gives them abundant care. The yarn that be encouraged his children to torment a turkey was a very disreputable invention concerning one who in a recent message to Congress appealed for the better protection of animals. The Turkey that it was said the Roosevelt children treated with cruelty was never seen by the children until it was served on the table. fit Washington is not proud to have been the birthplace of the woman, Nancy Patterson. The action of her admirers in writing to her sympathetic letters, sending her bouquets, four-leaf clover food and wine, and making passionate appeals to be allowed to serve her, is enough to cause doubts of the value of our judicial system. Why are such things permitted? A prominent jurist in this city proposes that prisoners shall invariably be tried by juries of their own sex, holding

that the masculine element ie what prevents the conviction of young women charged with capital offences. An alleged murderess would be more likely to have justice done her if her goo-goo eyes found themselves confronted by twelve women insensible to her physical charms. If male assassins were tried by juries of women, would they not have a far better chance to escape than at present?

THE OLD MILCH COW.

One of the best live stock auctioneers in the State of lowa is Colonel F. M. Woods, of Nevada, lowa. At a sale recently held at Springfield, Colo., as he had mounted the block to sell a fine looking old milch cow he stopped for a moment to look the animal over and then said: “Of all the animal friends of man she is the greatest. I wish that I, as you are about to sit down to your Sunday dinner, might take from your table what she had placed thereon. I would remove the cup of milk waiting at the baby’s chair. I’d take the cream, the cheese, the butter, the custard pie, the cream biscuit, the roast of beef and leave you a meal of potatoes, beets, pickles and toothpicks. “Every scrap of her, from nose to tail, is used by man. We use her horns to comb our hair, her skin upon our feet, her hair keeps the plaster on our walls, her hoofs make glue and her tail makes soup. Her blood is used to make our sugar white, her bones are ground to fertilize our soil. She has gotfe with " man from Plymouth Rock to the setting sun. It was her sons that turned the sod in the settler’s clearing; it was her sons that drew the prairie schooner for the sturdy pioneers, while she followed. And when the day’s march was done she came and gave the milk to fill the mother’s breast to feed the suckling babe that was perchance to become the ruler of his country.”

HUMOR OF THE HOUR

A Minor Defect. Weaver—What do you think of my verses? Bllklns has the face to say they are not pretty! Crumple— I They come mighty near it, then. They at least possess two of the three leading elements of poetry. The lines begin with capitals and they end with rhymes. The only thing that is lacking Is the Ideas; that’s all.—Boston Transcript. Canine Talk. “Look nt that little terrier,” said the St Bernard. “He seems to be all out of breath. Gracious, how he Is puffing!” “Yes,” replied the mastiff, “his lnngs seem too strong for Ills little body.” “In other words, he appears to be too small for his pants.” Catholic Standard and Times. Very Lifelike. “I seo you have a photograph of my wife—Mrs. Pyle Onstyle—ln your show case. It’s very like her,” said the elderly caller. “Yes,” replied the photographer, somewhat bitterly, “and she hasn't paid me for it yet.” “Ah! That’s still more like her.”— Philadelphia Press. A Question of Why. Baity Moore—l understand that young d’Auber is so devoted to his art that he sometimes misses his meals. Calvert, Jr.—l knew he missed his meals occasionally, but I had heard a different reason assigned for it and more professional.—Baltimore American.

$2.50 WORTH SENT FREE. Dr. Miles, the Great Specialiat in Diseases of the Heart, Nerves, Stomach and Kidneys. Will Send a Trial Course of His New and Remarkable Treatment Free. When an experienced physician offers to give away $2.50 Treatment for diseases of the heart, nerves, stomach, kidneys or dropsy, it is conclusive evidence that be has great faith in it. And when hundreds of prominent men and women freely testify to his unusual skill and the superiority of his New Special Treatments his liberality is certainly worthy of serious consideration. That Franklin Miles, M. D., LL. 8., is one of the world's most successful physicians is proven by hundreds of wonderful cures of well-known people. One patient cured after failure of eleven Grand Rapids physicians, one alter being given up by thirty physicians, one after nine of the leading doctors in New York City, Philadelphia and Chicago failed. The late Prof; J. S. Jewell. M. D., editor of the Journal of Mental and Nervous Diseases, said; “by all means publish your surprising results'” Prof. J. P. Koss. M. D., Ex-Preai-dentof Rush Medical College wrote ip 1874: “Dr. Miles has taken two courses of my, private instructions in diseases of the heart and Mr. Truman DeWeese editor of the Chicago T'mes-Herald. states: “Dr. Miles cured me of years of inherited headache and dizziness." The well known manufacturer of Freeport, 111., J.C. Scott,saya: “I had fruitlessly spent thousands of dollars on physicans until Iconsuited Dr. Miles." One thousand remarkable testimonials sent upon request. As all may have the Doctor’s Book, valuable advie and $2.50 worth of treatment, especially prepared for their case free, as a trial, we would advice every sick one to send for them at once. Give a careful description of your .symptoms. Address, Dr. Franklin Miles, Dept. G , Grand Dispensary, 813 to 823 Mam St., | Elkhart, Ind.
