DEACON BROWN. A pious man was Deacon Brown, Ho never raged or swore; A cyclone blew his kitchen down And through bis orchard tcre, Hilt when he rose up somewhat dazed And took a long, full breath and gazed Upon the havoc that was wrought He uttered not a single shrill, Profane remark about it. Still, p I wonder what he thought? The deacon's gray mare ran away And badly scattered things; The road was littered up that day With bubs and spokes and springs. The deacon crawled out from the wreck And felt his brow and rubbed his neck, And when the foamy mare was caught He kept his thin lips tightly shut And stood there saying nothing. But I wonder what he thought ? The deacon had a daughter who Eloped, one moonless night, With Kbenezer Pettigrew, A shiftless, worthless wight. The deacon did not chase the pair; Next day he sat with rumpled hair And farrowed brow und saying naught; Sometimes he clenched his fists, 'tig true, And many a long, deep sigh he drew. I wonder what he thought. —Chicago Record Herald.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and General Gossip of the National Capital. From our Special Correspondent: “Uncle Joseph” has come to the front with an explanation. He says that anyone who thinks he was hinting at tariff revision in his remarks out west tne other day has another think coming and had better get it to operating quick. Tariff revision will come, he says in his usual but kindly manner. It will come when he is ready for it and not before. And that will not be at the present session. Mr. Cannon intimates that when the subject of tariff revision is broached there will be all sorts of people and parties to be heard from and that partial revision is out of the question. When the tariff is revised at all it will have to be as a whole which probably is true, and he does not propose to have anyone toying with the throttle while he can make any sort of a pretense at being busy elsewhere. Meanwhile Mr. Rainey of Illinois took occasion the other day to read the stand pat Republicans a lecture on that very subject. He aroused a good deal of amusement and some indignation in the process. He said that American watches were being sold abroad so cheap that they were bought on the other side, shipped back to the United States to be sold a second time. He had a number of watches in his various pockets to prove the assertion. He also spoke of the Watch Trust. This brought out a protest from Mr. Gardner of Massachusetts who said he was a stockholder in j one of the largest watch cotn- | pauies and he knew of no such thing as a w.tch trust. Mr. Rainey raised a laugh by saying Mr. Gardner would probably have a chance to explain his negative information before the Committee on ways and means. Mr. Rainey added that while there was evidently no such thing as a watch trust the number of employees in ‘the watch factories had greatly ini creased in the past decade, and there were now in the countryonly IB watcli companies against twenty-seven in IHHO fle said that there were fifteen per cent more men employed in the factories than in 1880 but that there were 600 per cent more women and 200 per cent more children. He said that this alone was a state of thine.-, world enj quiring into. I None the less there is outgoing to be any tariff discuseiou at this | session. Mr. Davidson’s arrangements for having the Ways and j Means Committee sit during the summer to take testimony will ■ probably satisfy the conscience of the majority and quiet the in- ! quiries of the constituents. And j the tariff will be allowed to drift till there is a Democratic House or till the House can stave off the question no longer. t t t The rate situation is about as clear as it has been in the past fortnight. That is about as clear as the wake of a cattle stampede on a dusty day. No one dares oppose the legislation, but the railroads are determined to have the rate bill shaped to suit their ends, and those ends of course will be served by any provision for a court review that will enable them to take the unlucky shipper into court and w ear him out in litigation. Some of the supposed opposition Senators have come out so strongly for the rate bill since the incorporation of a review amendment seems assured, that one is tempted to wonder whether after all that w-as not the thing they were waiting for and that a loophole being once assured, they were willing to overwhelm the Hepburn bill with all sorts of drastic provisions knowing quite well from the start that they would

- never be apt to get in the way of the railroads. t t t The question of fortifying the Panama canal has come up again. The General Staff got suddenly busy last week and that they had a scheme of fortifications already to submit to Congress. As to the right of this country to fortify the canal, there *>an be very little queston. The prohibition in the Clayton-Bulwer treaty against fortifications was not mentioned in the HayPauncefote treaty and it is assumed by tbo%e interested that the silence gives consent. At the same time the War Department has been incommunication with the State Department and it has been decided to lay the matter before Congress to get a ruling on the point. t t t The story of why Bellamy Stoier was recalled as Ambassador from Austria, is going the rounds in official circles and causing some quiet amusement from the fact that M*e. Storer seems to have been at the bottom of it. According to reports, Mrs. Storer was interested in having Archbishop Ireland appointed as a second cardinal for the United States. The matter came to the point where a word from the President would have secured the appointment, but he, very naturally, declined to speak the word although Archbishop Ireland is one of his good friends and the President has said informally that he would be glad of anything good that could happen to him. None the less Mrs. Storer was affronted and took occasion to make trouble between Ambassador Storer and the Administration, so that Mr. Storer finally broke off diplomatic relations with the State Department, which paid him the wages on which he was erroneously supposed to live. The crisis became so acute about a month ago that the President was forced to write to him to change his course or resign. He resigned, and now he and Mrs. Storer are free to live in Paris, which they say they will do.

MERGER HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

Indiana Harbor and Three-I Lines Consolidated. Indianapolis, April 6.—Final arrangements for the consolidation of the Indiaua Harbor and the Indiana, Illinois & lowa railroads were completed in Chicago yesterday, and henceforth they will operate under the name of the Chicago, Indiana & Southern. The officials of the new company are as follows: W. H. Newman, president; W. C. Brown, G. J. Grammer, E. V. W. Rossiter and J. Carstensen, vice-presidents; E. W. Pardee, secretary; C. W. Hotchkiss, general manager, and Frank Beckwith, general superintendent. The general offices will be in Chicago The terms of the consolidation of the two companies, which have been members of the New York Central lines, provide for the issuance of $20,000,000 of stock. Of this $5,000,000 is 4 per cent, accumulative preferred and $15,UOO.OOO common. The Lake Shore & Michigan Southern has purchased $17,000,000 of the new stock, the other $3,000,000 going to the Michigan Central. The consolidated lines are about 400 miles in length, and have great strategic force in the coal situation of Indiana and Illinois. 'Hie Indiana Harbor line, which was recently constructed from Indiana Harbor on Lake Michigan to Dune’s Park, a distance of 160 miles, taps a rich coal region. By its connection with the Indiana, Illinois & lowa, the coal can be distributed to North and South lines, makiug a wide outlet for the district, or it can be delivered to tbe other Vanderbilt lines at Chicago. The consolidation was made with a view to having tbe Three I’s receive and distribute the coal hauled by tbe Indiana Harbor to other roads and to the big industries in South Bend, Elkhart and other places. It is the purpose of the new company to develop the southern Illinois coal fields rapidly. Articles and the agreement of consolidation were filed with the Secretary of State today. With them there came a check for $20,000 to pay the incorporation fee It is tbe largest fee the office has received for some time. ’ Eyes examined free; latest methods; by A. G.

Simple Way to Cure C-tarmh by Hyomei Without Stomach Dosing. v It is the height of folly to dose the stomach with internal medicines to cure nasal catarrh. It dhnnot be cured except the patarrhal germs that are present in the nose, throat and lungs have first been killed. Direct local treatment by breathing Hyomei through the pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, is absolutely necessary to kill the catarrhal germs and prevent their growth and formation. The soothing air of Hyomei heals the smarting and raw membrane of the air passages in the nose, throat and luugs, kills off the catarrhal,,germs and rids the system of the last traces of catarrh. The complete outfit consists of a hard rubber inhalbr which can be carried in the purse or vestpocket, a medicine dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei, and costs only one dollar, while extra bottles can* be obtained for 50 cents. B. F. Fendig positively guarantees a cure when Hyornpi is used in accordance with the simple directions on the package, or he will refund the mouey. This certainly shows his faith and belief in the virtues of Hyomei.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL SCORED.

Ohio Teachers, However, Defeat Mo* tion to Abolish Game. Findlay, Ohio, April 7. — Superintendent Williams of Sandusky, at the Northwestern Ohio Teachers’ Round Table to-day said: “Football instincts appeal to the lower elements. I believe football is all right in colleges, but for the young, tender high high school boys it is a crime ” Another speaker asked: “Is it right that our boys neglect their studies to become proficient in the game to furnish amusement for gamblers and bums?”
