The Vessels of Our Navy.

The splendid work of our ships has set many persons not heretofore interested in naval matters to making more or less of a study of ships, armaments, armor, projectiles, and so forth. It is an interesting study, especially at the present time, and “Official Photographs of the United States Navy’’ is the best and cheapest book on the subject. It contains 192 pages of handsome pictures and descriptive matter, with fine colored maps of the scene of war in both hemispheres, and will be sent by mail postpaid on receipt of twenty-five cents In silver by Chicago Newspaper Union, 93 South Jefferson street, Chicago, 111.

Trying to the Patience.

To shout at a deaf person startles and bewilders him and tires yourself. Never speak loudly when addressing the deaf. Speak very clearly, pronounce distinctly each word, and look full at the person while you are speaking; giving undivided attention to your words. Almost as much can be read from the movement of the lips as from the sound of the words. It is best, of course, to sit near the deaf one, and in such a position that tho sound proceeds directly from you to them. It is hard always to observe such conditions. It would be irksome always to do so; but if you are about to hold any lengthy conversation with a deaf person, you will save your voice and your temper very much by paying attention to these hints.

MRS. LUCY GOODWIN

Suffered four years with female troubles. She now writes to Mrs. Pinkham of her complete recovery. Read her letter: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—l wish you to publish what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, Sanative Wash

and Liver Pills have done for me ' I suffered Uw for four years \ ■ with womb 7 ■ trouble. My B doctor said I * ~ had falling of the womb. I > also suffered “‘ctj with nervous ** prostration, faint, all-gone feelings, palpita-

tion of the heart, bearing-down sensation and painful menstruation. I could not stand but a few minutes at a time. When I commenced taking your medicine I could not sit up half a day, but before I had used half a bottle I was up and helped about my work. I have taken three bottles of Lydia E.

Electric Fans in Sleeping Care.

The Baltimore and Ohio South Western Railway officials have solved the problem of cooling sleeping cars in stations at night. At Cincinnati, Louisville and St. Louie this line has sleeping cars placed in the stations at 10 p. m. which do not depart until after midnight, and in order to make them comfortable and cool have placed 16-inch rotary electric fans in each end of the sleepers, thus removing the heated and impure air from all parts of the car. The fans have been in operation about two weeks, and have been the subject of many favorable comments from the traveling public.

CONGRESS

Discussion in the Senate of the Hawaiian annexation question was interrupted on Thursday by Mr. Rawlins of Utah with a speech in which he criticised vigorously the provision embodied in the conference report on the Indian appropriation bill which acknowledges the right of Indians to lease mineral lands on their reservations. At 1 o’clock the Hawaiian resolution was called up nnd Mr. Pettigrew of South Dakota resumed his speech in opposition, addressing the Senate for about two hours. Mr. Pettigrew, on account of fatigue, yielded the floor to Mr. McEnery (Dem., La.), who presented a constitutional argument against annexation. At the session of the House further agreements upon the sundry civil bill were reported from the committee on conference and adopted, and further conference upon/tjhe remaining points in difference was res quested. A large number of bills of minor importance were passed and sixty-three pension and relief measures were disposed of, pursuant to the recommendations reached several days before in committee of the whole. The House adjourned until Monday. The conference report on the bankruptcy bill was reported to Oongress Friday afternoon and was immediately agreed to in the Senate. The bill as agreed to is a compromise between the provisions of the bills passed by the Senate and House respectively. The Senate bill was known as the Nelson bill and that of the House as the Henderson bill. The latter was far more liberal to the debtor than the former. The compromise leans to the House side of the question. The Hawaiian annexation resolutions were under discussion in the Senate. The speakers were Mr. McEnery (Dem.. La.), who concluded his address begun on Thursday, and Mr. Turley (Dem., Tenn.), who presented a constitutional argument against the resolutions.

Filibustering tactics were begun in the Senate Saturday afternoon on the Hawaiian resolution. Senator Morgan took to task the men who were defying public sentiment, and, as he said, misrepresenting their constituents and embarrassing the President. As a result Senator White made an insinuation that may result in a settlement outside of the Senate chamber. Mr. White said that Morgan’s statements proceeded from “corruption or imbecility,” and the latter intimated that he would require a personal explanation. The conference report on the sundry civil bill was presented. A long discussion followed on the proposition of the conference committee that the Senate recede from its amendment suspending President Cleveland’s forest reservation order and restoring to the public domain for homestead entry the lands embraced therein. Finally the conference report (partial) was agreed to and a further conference ordered. The House was not in session.

Consideration of the Hawaiian annexation resolutions was resumed on Monday, and during the session Mr. Clay (Dem.) of Georgia, Mr. Roach (Dem.) of North Dakota, and Mr. Caffery (Deiu.) of Louisiana, addressed the Senate in opposition to them. Mr. Caffery had not concluded his speech when the Senate adjourned. The House devoted the day's session to consideration of legislation affecting the District of Columbia. The messages of the President relative to Naval Constructor Hobson, the Hudson officers and crew at Cardenas and Capt. Hodgson, of the Hugh McCullough, at Manila, were not read until late. Few members were present, and the reading was not marked by any demonstration.

In the House on Tuesday the conference report upon the bankruptcy bill was adopted by a vote of 134 to 53. When the bankruptcy bill was disposed of Mr. Mahon (Rep., Pa.) asked unanimous consent for disagreement to the Senate amendments to the war claims or “omnibus” bill, and for granting the request of the Senate for a conference. Consent was given and the cbair appointed as conferees Messrs. Mahon, Otjen and Richardson. Several bills affecting the army were passed, notably being those providing for the pay of volunteers from the date of enrollment for service, and providing for increases in the ordnance, engineer and quartermaster’s departments. Almost the entire session of the Senate was occupied by Mr. Caffery (Dem., La.) in a continuation of his speech against the annexation of Hawaii. At 4 o’clock he had not concluded, but yielded the floor in order that the general deficiency bill might be considered. The bill was read and the committee amendments, so far as they have been offered, were agreed to.

Singular Wager.

One of the most singular wagers ever zeard of has been proposed for a horse race In Cassia County, Idaho. “Dlamondfleld Jack” was convicted of murfier in that county recently, and a motion for a new trial has been made. The result of the motion hinges on whether It was possible for the defendant to have made a certain ride in a certain length of time, the defense alleging it could not have been done, although one of the witnesses of the prosecution says he has made the ride. Now the defense has proposed that the prosecution may select horses and riders and make the attempt at the expense of the defense. If the ride is made the defense loses its chances for getting a new trial. It will mean, if the offer Is accepted, a ride with the life of ‘‘Diamondfield Jack” as the stake.— Philadelphia Press.

A NAVAL HERO’S STORY.

JYom the Timee-Herald, Chicago, Rl. Late in 1861, when President Lincoln issued a call for volunteers, L. J. Clark, of Warren, Trumbull Co., Ohio, was among the first to respond. It was at the terrific bombardment of the Vicksburg forts that the hero of this story fell with a shattered arm from a charge of shrapnel. After painful months in the hospital, he recovered sufficiently to be sent to his home at Warren, Ohio. Another call for troops fired his patriotic seal and Clark soon enlisted in Company H of the 7th Ohio Volunteers. He was in many engagements. Being wounded in a skirmish near Richmond, he was sent to the hospital and thence home.

A Wounded Hero.

where he now has n wide practice, is a member of Hatch Post, G. A. R. and livee at 4935 Ashland avenue. Several years ago Dr. Clark’s old wounds began to trouble him. He grew weak and emaciated, and his friends despaired of his life. He finally recovered sufficiently to be out, but was a mere shadow, weighing only 90 Bounds. The best medical attendance failed to restore his lost strength and vigor. “A friend gave me a box of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People,” said Dr. Clark, “and they helped me so much that I bought a half-dozen boxes and took them. I soon regained my strength, now weigh 190 pounds and, except for injuries that can never be remedied, am as well as ever. “I consider Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People the beet remedy to build up a run-down system, and heartily recommend them to everyone in need of such aid.”

An Old Prophecy.

There have been worse prophecies than this of the Poet Keats, written to his brother George, in Kentucky, In 1818: “Russia may spread her conquests even to China. I think It is a very likely thing that China itself may fall. Turkey certainly will. Meanwhile European North Russia will hold its horns against the rest of Europe, Intriguing constantly with France.”
