WASHINGTON GOSSIP

Representative Dockery of Missouri Id a conservative man and a Democrat. He said the other morning: <iN@ver in the world have the people of my district been unanimous on any subject until now, and every man, woman and child is for war. It’s ttte same all over the country. For myself, I deplore war, and have thought until now that some peaceful way would be offered us to solve this problem, but the people seem determined to fight Spain with or without the President, and any man who attempts t<> restrain them will be run over. If there was an election today no Candidate upon a peace platform would get 1,000 votes west of the Allegheny mountains.”' —' * * * The Red Gross Society has chartered a 4,000-ton steamer and is now loading it with relief supplies,'.for Cuba, most of which have come from the W’est. Two thousand tons of cornmeal, 800 tons of bacon, 000 tons of other preserved meats, 8,000 mu-kages of clothing, 500 tons of coffee, quantities of quinine, condensed milk, invalid foods and other supplies are being placed on board, which it is proposed to land and distribute at Cuban ports which thus far have received no relief from this country. All that has thus far been sent has gone to Havana, Sagua and Matanzas. * A * A, representative from Ohio came into the Navy Department one day last week aud said in a loud voice: “When are we going to declare war?” “Against whom?” “Spain, of, course.” “For what?” “I don’t care a --—; on general principles, any old thing will do. We have given you $50,000,000 to buy guns aud powder and now we want to hear them go off. I got forty-two letters in my mail this morning. Every one of them asked when the fighting would commence and most of the writers asked me to tender their services to the President.” * * * The war agitation has caused a lively demand for military toys and uniforms for children, and the factories where such things are made are running night and day trying to keep up with their orders. Carloads of drums, guns, tin swords, lead soldiers, miniature battle ships aud cruisers are reported shipped from New York every day to all parts of the country, and in some of the big clothing establishments all hands are at work turning out soldiers! and sailors’ suits for boys from 4 to 12 * * * Senator Cullom’s bill, which was introduced in the Senate, to strengthen the public credit, is regarded as a war measure. It provides that 50 per cent of the custom receipts shall be paid in gold, and the remaining 50 per cent in such currency of the United States as the Secretary of the [Treasury may designate. * * * Some of the humors of the war excitement in Washington are-people who talk incessantly and bravely of imaginary battles and whip Spain regularly many times a day. Street car conductors, barkeepers, lunch counter clerks and barbers haTe to bear the brunt of the battle. * * * The war vessels at Key West constitute the largest assemblage since the demonstration following the Yirginius affair, and, considering effectiveness and armament, it is the strongest assemblage of ships for other than review purposes since the war. * * * Within the next three weeks threefourths of the total strength of the American navy will be assembled on the North Atlantic station, the European and South Atlantic stations being abandoned, and all the other squadrons reduced. * * $ The war excitement doesn’t seem to interfere with the immigration to Klondike, aud at the passenger offices of all the trunk lines the clerks are kept busy answering questions and making out tickets for would-be millionaires. * * * Representative Bailey of Texas. Democratic leader of the House, will be a candidate for Speaker next summer. The height of his ambition is to succeed Thomas B. Reed, and be in a position to settle some old scores. * * * Major J. N. Morrison, assistant advocate general of the army, says the l’resident has power to order the State militia into the service of the United States at any time of emergency. * * * The spectacle of this country feeding the starving natives of Cuba and the Spanish raising $40,000 in gold by a ball in Havana for a new Spanish warship strikes harshly upon Congress. * * * A statement prepared by the pension office shows that for seven years past the pensioners of the country have paid legally to attorneys for prosecuting their claims a total of $0,510,191. •> * * Consul Dickinson, at Notingham, England, reports to the State* Department that “filled cheese” sent from America has greatly injured the cheese trade from this country. * * • The State Department has been informed that the same duties ureJituposcd on goods destined for the Klondike region as are Imposed on the same imported into any other part of Canada, * « * The Government has not relaxed its efforts to capture the murderers of colored Postmaster Baker in South Carolina. -* * * The'llouse has increased the allowance in the postoftlce appropriation bill for rural free mail delivery from $150,000 to $.'500,000. • * * Blanche I\. Bruce, ex-slave and ex-Unit. ed States Senator, was buried with a wreath upon his coffin sent by President McKinley. A special commissioner of the Postofflee Department is going to Alaska to establish an all-American route from tidewater to Dawson and to perfect the postal service.

Spring Medicine

These two words emphasize a necessity and indicate a remedy. SPRING—the season when the blood is most impure as a result of the winter’s closer confinement, higher living, slower action of the kidneys and liver; when humors of all kinds,, boils, pimples and eruptions most liable to appear; when the weak, languid condition of the whole bodily structure demands and welcomes help. MEDICINE—that to which the millions turn at this season—Hood’s Sarsapa--1 rilla. The original and only preparation especially adapted to the present needs of the human family; that which makes the blood pure and clean, as shown by its thousands of wonderful cures of dreadful blood diseases; creates an appetite and cures dyspepsia, as shown by its “magic touch” in all stomach troubles; steadies and strengthens the nerves, as proved by the people formerly nervous, now calm and selfpossessed, thanks to

CURES RHEUMATISM, ETC.

A Recent Discovery That Is Working 1 Wonders, The most prevailing afflictions that for a century have been engaging the most scientific skill of the medical world are rheumatism, neuralgia, catarrh, asthma, la grippe aud their kindred ailments. The country is full of sufferers from these complaints. Althought the most learned experts of the medical profession have labored for a century to produce a curative, until quite recently no positive results were effected. To the Swanson Rheumatic Cure Co., IG7-G9 Dearborn street, Chicago, belongs the credit for having produced the new remedy. It is being extensively advertised under the trademark of “Five Drops.” The trade-mark Is self-explanatory. Five drops make a dose. The effect Is magical. In days gone by other alleged cures have been marketed with the promise to take effect in thirty days or more. Five Drops begins to cure at once. Immediate relief is felt. In order to more effectively advertise its merits the company will fpr the next thirty days send out 100,000 of their sample bottles of this positive cure for 25 cents a bottle by mail prepaid. Large bottle, 300 doses, $1 (for thirty days 3 bottles $2.50). Those suffering should take immediate advantage of this generous offer and write them to-day.

Reading with the Pencil.

One must own his books to do it. Scribbling in other people’s books, even those of a library, Is a nuisance. Owning the books—here is a hint or two; A clear mental grasp must precede any helpful marking. Skimming may do for some purposes, but will not leave much in the brain pf the man who does it. Look first for ideas. They are more important than words. Mark the idea. Drawing lines underneath will help to make it prominent If you have occasion to look it up afterward. In seeking for ideas think whether they confirm your own or differ from them. Have you seen the same thought expressed elsewhere? If so, locate the place and make a note on the page referring to It. Distinguish between facts and opinions, between proved and assumed facts. Your reading should be stimulating to your own thought, and that thought must not be a mere echo of what the author says. Some books are intended to show the beauties of language. They appeal to the artistic instinct. In thorn you are to look for perfection of form. When such beauty Is found, mark it! If a noble Idea Is cast in a perfect mould of words, commit It to memory; it will serve you well in conversation, writing or public speech. When a book is finished go over it hastily again. See where yPu have marked it, and why. If you have done It well, you will discover that the marked passages will give a synopsis of the book. Marking with a pencil is valuable only as it stimulates close mental applieation and absorption. This is difficult at first, but may become habitual.—Saturday Evening Post.
