The first newspaper printed in
the German language in Ameri-
ca was the Philadelphia /eitunp,
published by Benjamin Franklin
in the year lT.'iii.
The value of the ohicU, the
brisis of chewing gum, that is
produced in Mexico is three times
great as that of the country's
present rubber product.
It is claimed that a permanent
channel fourteen feet deep can bt*
constructed from St. Louis to
Lake Michigan by way of the
Illinois River for 8.^,000,000.
An electric railroad between
Rome and Naples is being pro-
posed the line being 133 miles
long. The idea is to furnish fast
trains, with frequent service.
During the past century the
center of population of the Unit-
ed States has moved from a point
twenty miles east of Baltimore to
western Indiana, a distance of 505
miles.
A fourth pair of twin boys were
born to Mr. and Mrs. McKinnisin
Formington township, 111., last
Sunday morning. All the child-
ren are living, and are under
8 years of age.
In 1800 all surgical operations
were performed without the use
of anesthetics. The use of chlo-
roform was not discovered until
1847. Ether was first used to
deaden pain in 1846.
The gossips say that when a
widower erects a tombstone over
his wife, after putting off doing ii
from year to year, they begin to
look around to see to whom he is
attentive.—Atchison Globe.

that underneath these crops the

A New Yorker who crossed the
ocfean last summer threw two bot-
tles overboard, having placed in
each one a card bearing his name
and offering $5 reward if returned
to him. One of the cards has
been forwarded from France and
a check has been sent to the fin-
der.
The newspaper profession in
some of the eastern countries is
not conducive to long life. In
China 1,900 editors of one paper
have been beheaded. In Turkey
also editorial heads literally drop
in the basket quite frequently.
This is a case where the editor
does not do the clipping.
The daughter of the editor of
the Novoe Vremya, a Russian
newspaper, has just been married
to the son of one of the ministers
of ways and communications.
The father of the bride gave the
bridegroom as a wedding present
the daily profits of one of the ad-
vertising pages of his paper.
There is almost a cetainty that
the Katy will run her first passen-
ger train into San Antonio on the
morning of San Jacinto day. It
might be done earlier, but it is
desired to make the entrance of
this railway system into San An-
tonio a feature of the next San
Jfccintc day celebration. There
are nearly three months within
which to make preparations for
the Spring Carnival in connec-
tion with the memorable anniver-
sary and the coming of the K'aty.
H but that is not more time than will
f be needed to properly advertise
|A the affair and get everything in
Bfthape. Preparations should be
flfeot on foot without delay.—San

Democratic Senators are now
called upon to decide whether the
Ship suhsidy bill, which is again
the "unfinished business" of the
Senate, shall pass or shall fail t<>
roach a vote. It is admitted by
friends and foes of the bill that if
the democrats choose they can
easily prevent its being voted,
upon. The course of the demo-
crats is not yet certain. There
are two sides to the question.
Some contend that on general
principles it is the duty of tic
democratic and populist Senators,
as representatives (if the people,
to defeat such a vicious bill, wiiih
others are equally confident that
as a matter of party policy tlu
democrats ought not to stand ii
the way of the placing <>f such a
millstone arouni the neck <>f tin
republican party as this subsiii.N
bill would be likely to prove, i
allowed to become a law. There
is some talk of acaucus to decide
what shall be the democratic
policy toward this bill.
Gen. Miles can thank his per-
sonal friends in the Senate for
the discovery in time to defeat it.
of a scheme to depose him from
the command of the army, under
the Army Reorganization bill.
That bill as drawn by Adjutant
Gen. Corbin, whose hatred for
Gen. Miles is widely known,
specially provided that the pres-
ent Adjutant General should be
retained and w th the same rank,
but in the providing for the ap-
pointment of a lieutenant gener-
al who should have command of
the army, the appointment was-
left wide open. The scheme first
became known by friends of Gen
Otis and of Gen. Brooke seeking
Senatorial support for the nomin-
ation of one or the other to be
lieutenant general. Fortunately
the nomination has to be confirm-
ed by the Senate which would
never have consented to such a
low down trick being played upon
Gen. Miles, even had it not been
made impossible by an amend-
ment added to the bill in con-
ference.
It is customary for Senators
who indulge in bad language to-
ward each other to apologize to
the Senate, if not to the black-
guarded Senator, but Senator
Hawley has made no apology for
having called Senator Chandler a
liar at the secret session of the
Senate th^t confirmed the nom-
ination of Justice Harlan's son to
be Attorney General of Porto Ri-
co, several days ago. The inci-
dent was brought about by the
reading from apamphlet written
by Chandler, twenty-odd years
ago, by Senator Pettigrew, of a
statement that Justice Harlan was
given his place on the bench for
work done as a member of a poli-
tical commission sent to Louisi-
ana by Hayes, and that Hawley,
who was a member of the same
commission, was to have receiv-
ed the appointment of United S.
Commissioner to the Paris Expos-
ition of 1878 as a reward for his
work, but declined it because it
didn't carry enough salary.
Chandler's only reply was that
Hawley's ago and irresponsibility
prevented his feeling any resent-
ment, and that he stood by his
original statement. Chandler's
strong point is not resentment of
personal insults. Joe Blackburn
once tweaked his nose in a com-
mittee room, in the presence of
seven or eight Senators, and he
didn't even make an effort to re-
sent the insult.
Inviting sons of ex-Presidents
to be assistant marshals of inau-
gural parades is an old custom,
but those in charge of the coming
inauguration are said to be afraid
to invite Russell Harrison, lest he
take advantage of the opportuni-
ty to suy a few things—about his
discharge from tho army, for in-
stance—in a letter declining to
serve. Russell Harrison is in
Washington. When asked if he
had been invited to bo an assist-
ant marshal in tho inaugural
parade, he -aid that he had not,
and added: "I know f am per-
sona non L,iaUi at tho White

mistake to be paid for in pain and suffering.
Mother's Friend equips the patient with a
strong body and clear intellect, which in
turn are imparted to the child. It relaxes
•he muscles and allows them to expand. It
relieves morning sickness and nervousness.
It puts all the organs concerned in perfect
condition iur the final hour,so that thcaciual

ger of rising cr hard breas'.s is altogether
avoided, and recovery is merely a matter ol

House, and it would seem a little
strange for me to occupy a prom-
inent position in the inauguration
for that reason."
A review of the work of the U.
S. Patent Office for 1900 shows
the importance of the know how
in soliciting patents. A single
firm of Patent Lawyers, C. A.
Snow it Co., of Washington, se-
cured for their clients during the
year, 145)7 allowances of Patent,
many of which had been previous-
ly rejected.
Without in tho slighest detract-
ing from the many good qualities
of Queen Victoria, which were
known and recognized by the
whole world, especially those re-
lating to her domestic life, many
tnink it was unwise to make a
precedent, as Mr. McKinley did
when ordered that all the flags on
the public buildings in Washing-
ton be half-masted accountofher
death, by paying such unusual
! mors to the head of a foreign
monarchy.
Appropriation bills and private
bills, including one for the relief
of tnat struggling shipbuilding
plant maintained by the Cramps,
have occupied the attention of the
House all this week.
The Senate Committee on Fin-
ance, instead of reporting the
Reduction bill this week as ex-
pected, seems to have got things
awfully tangled up by amend-
ments it has decided to make to
the House bill and by what it lias
refused to do. The brewers are
clamoring worse than ever and
demanding that promises made to
them when they were asked to
contribute to the campaign shall
be lived up to, and they have got
some of the Senators badly
frightened.

Hissings, says a bright student

investigation of this subject, is
closely connected with "buss"
which is simply a good old bock-
woods expression, meaning a kiss
that is enjoyed by two greenhorns
who have powerful lungs and
wonderful suction with which to
perform the act. In this sense
buss means one kiss, rebus means
kbs again, pluribus means a
number of kisses, horribus means
to be caught kissing by the old
folks, merribus means to steal a
kiss, sillibus means to kiss the
hand instead the lips, blunderbus
means to kiss an old maid by mis-
take, omnibus means to kiss all
