Millions of Cook Books Given Away. There is one large house in this country that has taken business on its turn and means to ride in on the rising tide. Alive to the signs of better times and to the best interests of the people, they are now circulating among families a valuable publication known as The Charles A. Vogeler Company’s^Cookery Book and Book of Comfort and Health, which contains very choice information on the subject of cooking. Receipts for the preparation of good, substantial and dainty dishes, prepared especially for it by a leading authority, will be found in its pages. Much care has been taken in its preparation and distribution, with the hope that it will be just the thing needed for housekeepers, and just the thing needed also for the care of the health and household. As a Cookery Book it will be invaluable to keep on hand for reference.• It also contains full information in regard to the great remedies of this house, which provide against bodily ailments, especially the Master Cure for Pains and Aches, St. Jacobs Oil. To give some idea of the labor and expense of this output, more than 200 tons of paper has been used in its publication, and at the rate of 100*000 a day, it has taken several months for the issue. The book can be had of druggists everywhere, or by enclosing a2c stamp to The j Charles A. Vogeler Company, Baltimore, 1 Md. < The Emperor’s Dinners. Some curious details regarding the life of the German imperial " fa mily have recently been made public. i It appears that the emperor contracts 1 with his chief butler for meals at so «

much per head. An ordinary dinner costs less than $2 a plate, exclusive of wine, but on festive occasions the cost of a dinner varies from §5 to §lO. The emperor usually has three meals daily —a meat breakfast, a hot lunch and a six-course dinner, the latter being always disposed of under an hour. There are French and German cliffs, but the French are never used for the imperial family service. On the menu are hock, Bordeaux and champagne daily as table wines, and the collars of the Schloss hold 2,000 bottles of fine wines and 4,000 casks of other wines and liquors. There Is more catarrh in this section of the country than all^other diseases put together, and until the l&st few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced’ it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease. arid therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hallos Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It Is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address. _ F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O. Sold by Druggists, 75c. The Champion Big Family. Olean, N. Y., claims the champion big family of the country, the head of which is W. A. Field. He is the happy father of thirty-four children, twentyeeveu of whom live at home with papa and mamma. The father is but 47 years old and his interesting brood consists of three sets of quadruplets, five sets of triplets, three sets of twins, while one, by some strange mischance, came into the world singly. Thirty-one of these children are living, eight being boys. Special Rate to Washington. §17.50 Chicago to Washington and return, via Monon, C„ H. & D., B. & O. S. W. and B. & O.

CABINET IS COMPLETE M'KINLEY’S OFFICIAL. ADVISERS ARE ALL CHOSEN. J. A, Gary and J. J. McCook the Recent Selections—Latter to Rule Interior—Mr. Gary, a Marylander, Is to Be Postmaster General. Slate Made Up. With the acceptance of the Postmaster Generalship by Mr. Gary of Maryland and of the Secretaryship of the Interior by Col. J. J. McCook of New York. McKinley's cabinet is now complete. Following is the authentic list of the cabinet as it has been finally decided upon:

The news that Mr. McCook and Mr. Gary had been invited to seats in the cabinet and had accepted was received, a Washington correspondent says, by Senators and members of Congress with many expressions of satisfaction. James A. Gary is the recognized leader of the Republican party in Mary land. He is a business man of wealth, a manufacturer, and he has never hesitated to give effort and money to the cause of party. He has been a delegate to every national convention of his party since 1872, and from 18S0 to 1896 has represented Maryland upon the Republican national committee. In the councils of his party he speaks with authority and his utterances are heard with respect. In 1856 Mr. Gary was married to Miss Lavina W. Corrie, JAMES A. OAKY. daughter of James Corrie, ami is the father of one son and seven daughters. Uis son, E. Stanley Gary, is now junior partner in the old firm of James S. Gary & Son. Mr. Gary is 63 years of ago. Col. John J. McCook. New York's mem ber of McKinley's cabinet, is the youngest of the famous "Fighting McCooks” of Ohio, a family which furnished a father and eight sons to the Union army. He will be 52 years old in May. He was a student at Kenyon College, Ohio, when the war broke out. He enlisted as a private in the Sixth Ohio Cavalry. He will sacrifice profits from his law'business said to amount to §50,000 to §75,000 a year to enter the cabinet. Col. McCook is distinctively a railroad attorney, and was prominent in the reorganization of the Atchison, Topeka ai.d Santa l'e Railroad. He is one of the trustees of Princeton and an elder of the New York Fifth ’Avenue Presbyterian Church. He was chosen by the Princeton wing of the Presbytery MOTHERS' CONGRESS. Will Hereafter Meet in Washington Lach Alternate Year —Resolutions. After a very successful and enthusiastic meeting of three days the first mothers’ congress finished its work ami adjourned to meet next year again in Washington. That will be the general headquarters of the new organization ami the meeting every other year will take place there, while in the alternate years it will be held in some other city to be chosen by the congress. Before adjourning a long scries of resolutions were adopted. In these resolutions the mothers indorse the work of the Universal Peace Union, ami second the suggestion to the mothers, instructors and citizens of America that lessons of peace must be first taught by harmony at the hearth; approve the founding of a national training school for mothers that the women of America may. be taught the method for making hygienic homes and for becoming intelligent mothers; promise to use influence to encourage legislation in the various States and territories to secure n kindergarten department in the public schools: declare it to bo their purpose to exclude from their homes those papers which do not educate or inspire to noble thorurht and deed: protest ntrninsf

Mrs. Annie Besant, the theosophist, will remain in this country six months, during which time she will visit all the larger cities. Iler lectures will be devoted to the exposition of theosophy, and some of her experiences in her journey through India, from which country she ia now returning, will be told. The golden jubilee of Mother Mary Xavier, head of the Order of Sisters of Charity of the Catholic Church, was held in St. Elizabeth's Academy. New York. There are about 700 sisters iu the order. Most at them were preseat-

PREP ARING TO LEAVE. In a Short While Washington Will Have Lost the Clevelands. At the White House the President and his assistants are packing their trunks. Large boxes are tilled with books and papers which are the President’s or Mrs. Cleveland's private property. These will be sent to Princeton. When the morning of March 4 conies there will remain only a few trunks, and these will accompany Mr. Cleveland, then again an ex-Presi-dent, and Mrs. Cleveland to their new home. Nir. Cleveland, by the way, has never seen the property at Princeton which is to be his future residence. Mrs. Cleveland selected it, and the President said he was perfectly content to trust to

her judgment. The President's summer home in the suburbs of Washington will be offered for sale, and no doubt a good price will be received for it, not withstanding the-dull times in Washington real estate. This property lies nearer the city than Red Top, in which Mr. Cleveland lived during the latter part of his first term, and which he sold to a syndicate tit a profit of about §IOO,OOO. The syndicate lost money on the venture, very few of the lots having been sold. Mr. Cleveland now owns three homes, one in Washington, one at Princeton and one nt Buzzard's Bay. The total of his wealth is estimated by those who know something about it at § 1,000,000. When he came to Washington he was not worth more than §40,000 or §SO,O(X>. But Mrs. Cleveland has come into considerable

property, and the President has been fortunate in his investments. During the eight years of presidency he has drawn §400,000 from the Government, mid of this he has saved at least one-half, perhaps more. He has not spent as much money during the secund administration as he did during the first. All his entertainments have been of an inexpensive sort. The three houses which Mr. Cleveland owns arc said to be worth about §200,000, ami besides these he mid Mrs. Cleveland own about §300,000 worth of real estate. Ihe President will live in Princeton during the winter and at Buzzard’s Bay in summer. He will practice law in New York City as advisory counsel, lie is not going on a tour around the world. PHTHISIS NOT CONTAGIOUS. Doctors Condemn the Action of the New York Bo ird of Health. The action of the New York Board so Health in directing that all cases of consumption be registered ami treated, like diphtheria, measles ami contagious diseases, has aroused the indignation of New York physicians generally. They are almost a unit in their comb inmition of the action and the opinion of one is practically that of all. Dr. Robert Hunter, who has made n specialty of treating pulmonary diseases for fifty years, mid who says he has treated or observed 51 U*OO cases. said: “I cannot find words with which to express my Indignation nt the Beard of Health for this foolish action, which will do no good mid more harm than any one can contemplate. To begin with, consumption is not a communicable disease. History shows this. There never was a case that was contracted by contact with another cay. The germ is not given off by the persmi suffering from the disease. It is in the air. "It used to 1» l>< iu v< 5 tin t the disease was hereditary. Weak lung tissue runs in families, ami a person with weak lungs of course will sm < umb more readily to the disease, ns the air he breathes Is filled ’ w ith the germs if tuberculosis. It is but six years since the existence of the germ was discovered, mi ’ now the Board of Health proposes to break up 20.0U0 families mid isolati flint mumber of individuals to experiment with that of which they can know but little. They say they intend to isolate the umre dm.gcrous cases only, but who is to de. de, which eases are the more dangerous c:.-es? It is simply a plan to put away 20,000 industrious. ambitious people who are a benefit to so. icty ami whose presence in the eommuuity can do im harm. They are to be separated t rom humanity forever. Even those who are permitted to remain in the comrimoty will suffer as much ns those who Are isolated. "Think of the workingman branded as a pest distributor. What enu he do? Who will work beside him? Who will go into his store? lie cam mt ride on the street cars or go to church. The.v might just ns well isolate persons suffering from ringworm. If your skin is healthy you cannot have a ringw< rm on your face.- If it is not healthy the germ of the ringworm that is everywhere in the air will establish itself in the skin just ns the germ of consumption will establish itself in the weak or diseased l ing tissue, whether yo". are in a sit k room or a pine forest. Tt .e is as much cimsuniption in the country as In the cities, am’ persons who never come in contm t with ousumptives are as liable to the iiistax as arc nurses in hospitals for consumptives. "In decreeing consumption contagious, like smallpox, ami decreeing measures looking to the imprisonment of those afflicted with it in pest houses, the New York Board of Health inaugurates a war of extermination, not against consumption, but against consumptives, and coni^ mits the most far-reaching invasion of personal liberty over attempted by any medical organization since the foundation of the art of medicine.” Oddities of State Uesißlature. The tuberculosis law has been suspended in Connecticut. A bill has been introduced in the Min-

nesota House of Representatives making the Covernor and the Governor-elect eligible for election to the United States Senate during the term for which they have been chosen to the State executive office. There is now in the hands of a committee of the Indiana State Legislature a bill to compel all proprietary medicine concerns doing business in the State to place upon each package a label giving the formula used in the preparation of the contents. 1 he California Legislature is preparing to relieve Stanford University from taxation burdens. Up to the present time California has not made allowance of this sort and has collected about $30,000 a year of the clear income of $150,000 which the university has had. A courageous Indiana legislator has introduced a bill to hold baggage men responsible for the baggage they smash. He proposes to fine them every rime they throw a piece of baggage from a car door to the platform instead of gently transferring it to a truck only a few inches lower than the bottom of the cat
