Howard Paul relates a capital anecdote of the late Charles Reade, the novelist, who was something of a gourmet. He had heard so much about canvas-back ducks that he desired to taste them. Mr. Paul sent him a brace by a quick steamer, with explicit instructions as to how they should be prepared and cooked. He sent by the same messenger a bottle of bay rum, thinging Mr. Reade knew it as a toilet accessory. It seems he did not, for he wrote back to the donor: “My Dear Paul: The ducks were excellent; I enJoyed them exceedingly: but the bay rum must be an acquired taste and didn’t go at all well with the wild fowl, 8o I substituted champagne. I liked the bay rum better made into a hot punch.” Jewish Kings. The Jews, from the coronatien of Baul, in 1095 B. C., to the accession of Rehoboam in 975, had three kings— Baul, David and Solomon, who each reigned forty years. The Kingdom of Israel , from the accession of Jeroboam I, in 975, to the dispersion of the ten tribes in 721, had nineteen kings. Between Rehoboam, B. €. 975, and Zedekiah, the last King in Jerusalem before the Babylonish ecaptivity in 599, thera were twenty-two kings. Not a Treat.

'MANY BILLS PENDING ) . ‘ WORKV FOR THIS SESSION OF CONGRESS TO DO. The Dingley Measure in the Hands of the Senate—Pacific Funding Legislation Likely to Be of Great Interest—Other Laws Wanted. Little Legislation Likely. Washington correspondence: 1t is improbable that the House at this gession of Congress will dispose of much of the proposed legislation which encumbers its calendars., Little is usually accomplished at the short session, beyond the passage of the regular supply bills. The question of legislation for additional revenue for the Government will depend on the Senate, to which body the House sent the Dingley bill almost a year ago. If it should be impossible, or deemed inexpedient, to press that measure through the Senate, there is a possibility that the proposal to increase tha revenues by anadditionaltaxon beer orthe imposition of a duty on tea and coffee, may take tangible form, and, if so, such legislation must orviginate, under the Constitution, in the lower branch of Congress. There are on the several calendars of the House 1,463 bills reported from the various committees, and the proportion which will pass at the coming session must be necessarily small. The private bills number 1,100, but there are also 256 bills on the calendar on the state of the Union and ninety-nine public bills on the regular House calendar. Some of these are of very great public importance, and those interested will no doubt do all in their power to secure action upon them. Power of the RRules Committee, The powers lodged in the hands of the Committee on Rules, which give its members control of the House program, wil make that committee the practical arbiter of what shall be submitted to the House for its action. That committee is composed as at present constituted of the Speaker, Mr. Henderson, of Iowa; Mr. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. McMillen, of Mennessee. The death of exSpeaker Crisp makes a vacancy at the head of the minority- of the committee which must be filled by the Speaker. The names principally mentioned in conneetion with the vacancy are Mr. Bailey of Texas, Mr. Catchings of Mississippi, Mr. Turner of Georgia, Mr. Richardson of Tennessee, and Mr. Dockery of Missouri. The bill, which in many respects, is of most interest and which will press hardest for consideration is the Pacific Railway funding bill. The bonds guaranteed by the Government are payable early in the coming year, and either an extension or a foreclosure stares the roads in the face. Tor eight years funding Dbills have occupied a good share of the attention of Congress. The present bill, of which Mr. Powers of Virginia is the author, was reported shortly before the close of the last session. Everything will be done by those interested in it to secure consideration. The friends of the Nicaragna Canal also are bending every energy to secure action on the bill reported by Mr. Doolittle, which provides for a guaranty by the United States of SIOO, 000,000 of bonds for the construction of the canal. The War Claims Committee, which showed fight on several occasions at the last session, promises to renew that ag gressiveness this winter, especially for the passage of the claims awarded undes the Bowman act and the French spoliation claims. 'These claims—the former amounting to 5562.459, and the latter to $2,708,196—--were put on the sundry eivil bill at the last session as a rider of the Senate, but the bill was vetoed by the President, and they were then dropped. Mr. Mahon, who is chairman of the War Claims Committee, will also press the Pennsylvania border claims, which have been pending in Congress for years. Other Legislation Proposed. The Loud bill, to cure the abuses of the law relating te second-class matter, under which newspaper matter is transmitted at 1 cent a pound, and which hus been the subject of much eriticism of the Postoflice Department because of the advantage taken of the law in various ways for the transmission of books and pamphlets, will also be pressed, as will the Pickler service fusion bill, which ocen pies a favorable position on the calendar as a privileged renort. Among the other bL#fls are the Wads worth bili for the creation of a bureau of animal industry, for the inspection of meat and the regulation of the transportation of live stock; the immigration bill, the Chickering biil, for ascertaining the feasibility and cost of a ship canal from the great lakes to the Hudson: several important publie-land bills, the Dbiils for the admission of the territories, and many others of especial interest to particular localities. There are also several important measures in the Senate which might come over to the House for consideration. HOW A PATRIOT DIES. Coloma Is Shot Like a Doz in Laurel : Ditch at Havana. There was another friechtful scene in I.aurel diteh, in front of the Cabana fort ress, at Havana, Saturday afternoon just as the sun was hiding its head, as it ashamed to lend its licht to such a cruel deed. The victim this time to Spain’s heartless custom of dealing with prisoners of war was Antonio Lopez, Coloma, well known as a Cuban soldier since the very outbreak of the revolution. Coloma was a white man captured at Ybarra, in Matanzas Province, leb. 24, 1805, the day of the outbreak, together with the mulatto journalist, Juan Gualburto Gomez. The poor fellow had been locked up all these long twenty-one months, hoping against hope, which at times passed into certainty that he would not be executed. There were the same great cliffs, which constitute one side of the ditch, black with the crowd, which had come to see a Cuban patriot die. Below was the ditch itself, more than fifty yards in width, and on the other side the stern ramparts of the Cabanas, with the gate leadng into the diteh, which is so narrow that four men can hardly pass througn abreast. Once through the gate, Coloma gave a quick look around. In an instant his glance swept the cliffs above, and then fell to encounter that array of Spanish soldiers, everywhere pitiless faces, a thousand to one. Two more steps he took forward, then, raising his head proudly, he shouted distinctly, “Vive Cuba libre!” About to die, he defied them all. As the words left his lips the officer of the guard drew his sword, and with the uplifted blade sprang toward the man-

acled prisoner, but before the sword could fall, the priest, holding up the crucifix, stepped between Coloma and the coward, who drew back. - =5 . Undaunted, Coloma again cried out, “Viva Cuba libre!” This time he was seized and gagged with a white handkerchief tied over his mouth that he might utter those hateful words no more. Then with a firm tread he marched in the hollow square to the spot where he was to die. "Then shots rang out, Coloma fell forward on his face, and another Cuban hero lay dead, shot like a dog in the Laurel ditch. : FINANCES OF THE NATION, United States Treasurer Morgan Submits His Report, The annual report of Daniel N. Morgan, treasurer of the United States, shows the net ordinary revenues of the Government during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1896, to have been $326,976,200, and the expenditures $352,175,446, leaving a deficiency for the year of $25,203,246, or $17,601,977 less than during the preceding fiscal year. : The report shows that during the last fiscal year there was an increase of §7,863,134 in the receipts from customs, an increase of §3,341,192 from internal revenue sources, an increase of $2 479,622 from miscellaneous sources and a loss of $07,823 from the sale of public lands, making the net increase in the receipts $13,586,125. The decrcase in the expenditures amounted to $4,015,852. The report shows the total receipts from the first $50,000,000 loan of 1894 to have been $58,600,017; from the second loan of $50,000,000 of 1894, $58,719,710; from the loan of $62,315,400 for 1893, 65,428,056, and from the $100,000,600 loan of 1806, $111,355,612. From the first loan there was realized $£52,850,264 in gold coin and £5,810,420 in gold certifi-: cates; from the second loan, $53,651,188, in gold coin and $5,608,410 in gold certificates; from the third loan, $65,428,051 in gold coin, and from the founrth loan, $100,327,455 in gold coin and $2,026,810 in gold certificates. The total receipts fram the several bond sales, therefore, were 5204 104,205, . The public debt outstanding June 30, 189006, is shown to have been $1,760,840,323, and on June 30, 1805, £1,676,120,983. According to the revised estimates of the department the composition and distribution of the monetary stock on June 30, 1896, is as follows: In treasury In circulamints, tion.

The Wire Nail Manufacturers' Asso* ciation Goes to the Wall, Not every trust formed for the purpose of stifling competition and raising prices is successful. A fortunate illustration of this we have in the Wire Nail Manufacturers' Associaticn, common'y known as the nail trust, which has gone to the wall, and which wound up its business Dee. 1. This trast started into life in June, 1805, the guiding bhand at the helm being J. 11, Parks, of Boston. During that time it ruthlessiy forced the price of wire GOO-penny nails from SO cents to 8255 a keg and of cut (0-penny nails from 70 coents to $2.20 a keg. Its net profit during the period.of its existence has been 81,000,000, ex sive of the "\ ‘\'.:a:j:‘-‘vi : ':-, vf.fi':a: a laree namber of manuf irers and buying up and subsidizing rival concerns ['rom the manufacturers in the pool it exacted £I.OO for each kg of nails manufactured. Os this sum 3O cents was used for the purchase of rival plants and the balance was rebated to the members of the trust. Then from each of the jobbers, or those to whom it soid its stock, it took 15 cents for each keg sold. This sum was held on deposit to insure against a cut in prices, and at certain periods a rebate in full was made to those who had remained faithful. Those who had cut prices received no rebare. To further guard against competition it sought to control the manufacturers of nail-making machines. But new and more economical machines were nevertheless turned out and competition in manufacturing nails became so keen and constant that the trust was forced to allow the jobbers to cut prices, and hence the collapse. OUR CLAIMS AGAINST SPAIN. Counter Claims Against Us Which Spain Will Present, There are being laid before the treasury officials by the Spanish legation a formidable list of what Spain claims to be violations of the neutrality laws, most of them being founded on filibustering operations from this country. The Spanish Minister is keeping close watch on the claims being laid before the State Department for damages to American citizens in Cuba, and will be prepared when the claims are presented to offset them with counter claims, based on the damage to Spain caused by the outfitting of filibustering expeditions in this country. The ciaims of Americans for damages, already filed, amount to over $12000,000, but Spain will present a damage ro]l even larger than this. Later reports from that part of the Seminole nation swept by prairie fire indicate there were no fatalities. 'The loss to property was considerable, but no estimate is given. lowa State officials held a post moptem on seven cattle which died at Wash-. ington, and decided that death was due’ t hydroplkobia.

VT G e g u % ~ COULD NOT EAT MO . j"‘, e —————————————————— m 5 Statement of an Indiana Woman Who . Was a Dyspoptic. ~__ From the Journal, Logansport, Ind. The alarming prevalence of dyspepsia and kindred disorders of the digestive or{g‘fli among the people of this section of € country hqs caused inquiry to be m}ge among the phgsxcians of this c}tgv as to the cause, and the remedy whic Is-being applied thereto. Leading physiclans assert that three-fourths of the patients who come under their care are affected in some degree with stomach trouble arising from biliousness, indigestion, irrefiuluritxes of the liver and bowels. While these cases are common, the remedies applied have in' most cases been but temporary measures of relief. A regort came from Idaville, Ind., of & number of' cases where sufferers from the causes mentioned had found welcome relieg from i),q.m in the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. A rex?er was sent to investigate the matter ! returned with the following statem%of fagts: Liruggist Reed, of the village, was first visited .and from him were obfained the names of people who had purchased the Pink Pills, and who had spoken of the .»: fit they had rlfccilived rorn tdhe uge of gre medicine.

Mrs. Elder was found I‘l% ll)xer _hoges busily engaged in sewing. en asid if she eqlt.nld say that thenlgink Pills hagg=enfited her, she said: “Yes, sir, I am sure that I have been greftly benefited by "them. Before I began using the medicine I was troubled with my stomach. I had to be careful of what 1 ate, and then I was sick most all the time with my stomach. I would have fainting spells, and while walking about the house I would suddenly be seized with a spell of dizziness and fall to the floor. 1 could not go out of doors unless some one was with me to hold me when the dizzy spells came on me. I tried all of our doctors here and they could do me no good; I went to,Monticello and tried a noted doctor there, but he helped me but very little, “Finally my husband noticed the advertisement of I)r.’ Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, arid he got a box to try them. I had not finished the first box before I felt better. I was able to eat, and my.sleep was undisturbed by the bad dreams that had bothered me before, When the first box was gone I felt as though I must have some more of the medicine, for the improvement in my fee!lings was so great that I secmed like a new woman. My husband got five more boxes and I have used all but one of them. I feel now as if I could eat any- ¢ thing, the dizziness is all gone, and my stomach is not troubling me as it did.
