The United States army is to be
supplied with smokeless pov/der.
Many of the soldier boys have al-
ready had experience with it in warm
parlor engagements.
It is safe to say that the oriental
jewelry counter in " the California
Midway will not be extensively pat-
ronized by the same persons who in-
vested that way in Chicago.
The English parliament complains
of being overworked. If the English
parliament should work days and
sleep nights,, like the rest of the
*yorld, it would not get so tired. The
Ifingiish parliament i s the only body
of men that works nights, unless
M> compelled by the nea^ssity of the
«,ase.
The charge against the l>oston
psychological institute of stealing a
corpse will not find many believers.
If the institute had an opportunity to
steal a real, genuine ghost it might
yield] to temptation. It is not par-
tial to soulless bodies; but it would
doubtless pay well for a disembodied
soul.
Thf. criminal idiocy of parents who
lock helpless children into the house
while they go visiting is one of the
things that the law seems powerless
to reach. If the children were
always burned alive, instead of oc-
casionally escaping as they now do,
the practice might eventually become
unpopular.
The Metropolitan traction company
of New York offers $50,000 to any one
who will invent a new motive power
for street cars. Emerson advised
people, a long time ago, to hitch
their wagons to a star. Perhaps
this motive power would work as
well on a street car as on a wagon.
The $50,000 check can now be for-
warded at once.
Being arrested for having caused
the death of a child a Brooklyn man
put forth the defense that he was a
physician. This plea was not ac-
cepted, ttie fact developing that the
claim set up was false. However,
the episode would seem to indicate
that the privilege of the healer to
become killer is too generally recog-
nized for public safety.
One of those coincidences that are
as myatsji'ious as they are interesting
occurred in connecTion with the death
of John Nolan, an officer of the su-
perior court of New York. Last
Saturday he "took a notion" to make
his will, and, as he was in excellent
health, was chaffed by friends whom
he a.3ked to witness it. It was
signed and sealed that afternoon and
4he next day he died of heart disease.
A pleasing little vice-versa anec-
dote emerges from the classic shades
<&f Phillips academy at Exeter, N. H.
The principal wouldn't let the stu-
dents go to a burlesque performance
and thereupon they plastered his
room among others full of the pleas-
ing posters wherewith the attrac-
tions of the show were set forth. If
Mohammed wouldn't go to the moun-
tain. why, they just fetched the
mountain to him.
/oung Jewell Flint of Sacramento,
Cal., who shot a girl in the back
because she had properly estimated
him, and refused him her hand, has
been allowed to plead guilty to
murder in the second degree. It
would be interesting ■ to know what
is considered first-degree murder up
that way. Young Mr. Flint is to be
felicitated. If hanged he would be
unable to kill any more girls, but in
prison he may live in hopes.
It is said that the great Krupp
pun will carry a shot sixteen miles.
The best English steel rifles carry
thirteen miles, and we have several
12-inch terrors in the United States
that will carry ten miles. And yet
it is a fact that several valuable
lives have been lost within the past
two months because the • best guns
used at life-saving stations are not
able to carry a life-line more than GOO
or 700 yards. Perhaps if as much
attention were paid to perfecting
life-saving mortars and guns as to
perfecting death-dealing ones, the
world's civilization would not suffer.
FEDERAL ELECTIONS.
THI2 BJL.L GOES OVER UNTIL
NEXT MONDAY.
Hawaiian Affairs in the Senate—31ore
Pensions—Americans Ask Protectiort at
Amapala—Reimport Bill for the Bene-
fit of Stockowners Passes.
Washington, Jan. 10..—The session
of the senate yesterday did not de-
velop that interest that was antici-
pated. The consideration of the fed-
eral election bill was not begun ac-
cording to the programme of Senator
Gray, as no one seemed prepared to
speak, and after some colloquy be-
tween Senators Chandler, Gray and
Gorman over the method of proced-
ure, the measure finally went over
until Monday. At that time, how-
ever, it comes up as unfinished busi-
ness and Senator Gray gave notice
that he would press its consideration
"reasonably and continuously" un-
til a vote be reached. Even
the Hawaiian situation failed to elicit
the debate that was promised. Sena-
tor Chandler's resolution calling for
an opinion as the constitutionality
and regularity of the appointment of
Commissioner Blount by President
Cleveland was called up and pressed
for passage, but after Senator Gorman
had expressed his opinion that its
passage would be disrespectful to the
foreign relations committee which is
already considering the subject, Sena-
tor Chandler, finding his own party
not a unit in support of his proposi-
tion, promptly withdrew it.
The Trinity Kiver.
Washington, Jan. 9.—Judge Ab-
bott has applied to the- river and har-
bor committee for permission to ap-
pear before it in regard to an appro-
priation for the improvement of the
Trinity river to Dallas. The com-
mittee notified him that it would have
the river and harbor bill completed
by February 1, and that if he wanted
to present anything for their conside-
ration he could and had better do it
before that time. He says that if the
people of Dallas want the Trinity
river to be considered they should
send a short, concise statement of
what has been done in the way of im-
provement of the river by private en-
terprise; how much money was sub-
scribed and paid out and how much is
now subscribed; how much has been
expended, what has been accomplished
and what results are anticipated.
Democratic Objectors.
Washington, Jan. 8.—Mr. Sperry,
who . represents the Democratic ob-
jectors to the Wilson bill, stated Sat-
urday that the "ways and means com-
mittee has reported a tariff bill, which
shows $75,000,000 deficiency, as com-
pared with receipts under the present
law. , Our objections are due to the
fact that the committee has not yet
fully formulated the legislation and
has not decided whether an inter-
nal revenue bill shall or shall not be
introduced separately or as a part of
the tariff."
Iiarter's Bond Bill.
Washington, Jan. 6.—Mr. Harter
of Ohio has prepared a bill which he
will introduce to-day providing for a
bond issue of an amount which, in
the judgment of the secretary of the
treasury, may be necessary to keep
money on hand and the credit of the
government unimpaired. The bonds
are to bear 8 per cent interest and be
due in thirty years, but redeemable
at the pleasure of the government
after twelve years.
Americans Want Protection.
Washington, Jan. 10.—The navy
department has information that the
United fctates steamer Ranger has
sailed from Corinto to Amapala. It
was reported a few days ago that
American citizens at Amapala wanted
to have a United States vessel in the
harbor on account of threatened
trouble between Nicaragua and Hon-
duras.
Petek Neaky, of Newark, N. J.,
had a billy goat and a ten-dollar
greenback. Billy and the bill had a
meeting, and. following the fashion
of the period, effected a consolida-
tion; that is to say, the goat chewed
and swallowed the banknote. This
arrangement was made without Mr.
Neary's consent, and he moved in-
stantly for a dissolution of partner-
ship by killing the goat and recover-
ing the fragments of the bill. 1 hese
were sent to the treasury, and it
seems that there was enough left to
identify the note, and so a few days
ago Mi-. Neary received a brand new
$10 note in return, and i.) only ou*. to
the extent of a p-oafc.
Reimport Bill Passed.
Washington, Jan. 10.—In the sen-
ate yesterday Mr. Coke called up the
house joint resolution authorizing the
secretary of the treasury to permit
the owners of cattle and horses trans-
porting them into Mexico to reimport
the same into the United States at
any time within twelve months of
this date. It was passed.
More Pensions.
Washington, Jan. 10.—The house
committee on invalid pensions yester-
day ordered a favorable report of the
senate bill to repeal the clause of the
appropriation act which cuts off from
the pension rolls non-residents who
are not citizens of the United States-
except those suffering from actual dis»
abilities received in the service.
Contested Election Case.
Washington, Jan. 10.—The con-
tested election case of O'Neill vs. Joy
for a seat in the house of representa-
tives from the eleventh Missouri dis-
trict was yesterday decided in favor
of O'Neill by a strict party vote in
the election committee.
^Nothing Bone Yet.
Washington, Jan. 8.—The caucus
Friday night amounted to nothing as
far as getting a quorum of Democrats
to respond to their names in the house
Saturday. When that meeting ad-
journed Friday night all the members
pledged themselves by the passage of
a resolution to vote for the rule
brought in by the committee on rules
fixing a time for the consideration and
a vote on the tariff bill. Saturday
morning it was developed that.several
eastern Democrats who had been in
the caucus had left town and at all
times during the session Saturday
there were enough Democrats con-
veniently absent to break a quorum.
There are a great many members
away on business in the courts repre-
senting clients. The United States
is giving them a fee each of $'5000 per
annum, mileage to and from their
homes, $120 each session for postage
stamps, paper and pocket knives, but
their private business is more impor-
tant to them, it seems, than the pub-
lic business. It may be that their in-
difference to the public work may
partly proceed from the fact that they
have a dead sure thing on the money
the government gives them. The
fight in the house Saturday was
enough to sicken everyone who looked
upon it. Roll call succeeded roll
call and these were interpersed with
a demand for tellers where the mem-
bers had to pass between two or
three of their number who counted
them. Thus the foolishness, a sad
thing indeed, proceeded all the day
long until the Democrats had to
shamefacedly admit their inability to
do anything. Late in the evening an-
other rule or order was brought in by
Mr. Catchings, representing the com-
mittee on rules, which ordered tho
sergeant-at-arms to arrest and bring
to the bar of the house all absent
members and he was ordered to go
to the homes of the congressmen to
get them. The resolution is not
couched in the language herein em-
ployed, but its meaning is as above
expressed. Then the house ad-
journed.
The Senate Debate.
Washington, Jan. 9.—The Hawa-
iian controversy waxes warm from
day to day in the senate. Nearly a
score of resolutions have already been
introduced on the subject, but the end
is not yet in sight, and after more
than an hour's sharp discussion on
the Frye resolution the senate ad-
journed yesterday with the promise
of a discussion on the Frye resolu-
tion and a possibility on Mr. Turpie's
resolution to-day. Senator Hoar suc-
ceeded in accentuating with practical
certainty the fact that Commissioner
Blount was paid from, the secret
fund of the staj^department, this
being ^ufesian^j|Bfcfeutted by the
Democrats. Senator Frye made an
ineffectual effort to create a vote on
his resolution declaring for non-inter-
vention by the United States govern-
ment in Hawaiian affairs, but there
was a strong objection and it went
over until Wednesday when Mr.
Davis of Minnesota will speak on the
subject. Senator Turpie of Indiana
presented a resolution alleging the
inexpediency of annexing Hawaii to
the United States, but declaring that
the interference of foreign govern-
ments with that country should be
regarded as hostile to this country,
and will probably submit some re-
marks on the matter in a few days.
Tariff First.
"Washington, Jan. 8.—Mr. Wilson
says the bond question will have to
wait until the tariff is out of the way.
There is little doubt, however, that a
bond proposition will emanate from
the committee at an early day, as a
majority of the Democratic members
of the committee are known to be ready
to adopt a measure on the lines sug-
gested by Secretar3" Carlisle in his
recent report. On the other hand,
there is an energetic minority among
the Democratic membership of the
committee which does not believe in
bond issuance.
Debate Begun.
Washington, Jan. 9.—The house
got down to work yesterday and the
first gun on tariff reform was fired.
The plaintive appeals sent out by
tariff reformers for the absentees to
return, threats of the press and the
people and the order of arrest sent
out by the house itself had its effect
and yesterday morning a Democratic
response on a roll call developed a
quorum. Mr. Wilson began speaking
in favor of the bill at 3:15. He will
finish to-day.

The Situation is One of Glaring1 Defi-
ance—A Montgomery, Ala., Doctor
Blows His Brains Out cf His
Own Disgrace.
Honolulu, Jan. 1.—Via Victoria,
B. C., Jan. 10.—The Associated
Press correspondent has been assured
that should President Cleveland delay
the delivery of President Dole's reply
to Willis,' demand to surrender it will
be at once made public on the arrival
of Minister Thurston by the steamer
Pekin. . The news received here to
date has elicted various comment.
The royalists still assert that they be-
lieve the restoration will be accom-
plished by Cleveland and the annexa-
tionists as confidently declared that
no restoration shall take place. The
situation has, in fact, settled into onft
of glaring defiance, in which the roy-
alists themselves admit that they
would have no show unless aided by
the forces of the United States. The
proposition for the establishment of a
republic here, said to have been orig-
inated by Minister Thurston and Mr.
H. N. Castle, is absolutely denied by
both of these gentlemen. To the As-
sociated Press Mr. Thurston said:
"Such an idea never entered our
heads. Why should it? We are now
an established government. We have
been recognized by both the United
States and Russia, and to establish a
republic would be but to rennounce
the recognition of the nation we now
have in existence."
Blew Out His Brains.
Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 10.—Dr.
John H. Blue, one of the largest prac-
ticing physicians in Montgomery, a
polished and high-toned gentleman,
shot and killed himself Monday.
About two weeks ago Dr. Blue was
charged with intimacy With Mrs. May
Kelley, wife of Fire Chief Kelley.
This created a sensation. Kelley in-
stituted divorce proceedings, charg-
ing Mrs. Kelly with adultery with Dr.
Dlue. Since the bill was filed the
scandal preyed heavily on the doctor's
mind, and his mind became unsettled.
Mrs. Kelley admitted that she was
guilty and asked her husband's for-
giveness. Dr. Blue repaired to his
bathroom and blew out his brains.
donca, Brazilian minister here, has
no information which would bear out
the dispatch. "It is possible," said
the minister incredulously, "as the
president is free to resign if he cares
to, but I do not consider it probable.
My president is not one of the re-
signing kind."
Will Not Filibuster.
Washington, Jan. 6.—The policy
of the Republicans on the election re-
peal bill in the senate will not be to
antagonize the measure by filibuster-
ing. Several speeches will be made
against repeal and the Republican
senators will insist upon having suffi-
cient time to make their speeches.
A Republican member of the commit-
tee on privileges and elections- says
he thinks the bill will pass at the end
of ten days' debate.
Appropriation Bill.
Washington, Jan. 8.—The appro-
priation committee is making good
progress on the large appropriation
bills before it, but there is no pros-
pect of an immediate report on any of
them.
Killed His Son.
Elgin, 111., Jan. 8.—Clark Burr,
one of the wealthiest farmers of this
vicinity, killed his son Charles with a
shotgun Saturday evening in a quar-
rel growing out of the latter taking
music lessons. The young man, who
was 17 years of age, was endeavoring
to draw a revolver when the father
fired. The coroner released him in
bonds of $10,000, which was promptly
furnished by his neighbors.
A Baby Story.
Fairmont, W. Y., Jan. 8.—Eighteen
months ago John H. Garby of Wesley
county, a bachelor of 74 was married
to Miss Sarah Mills, who was less than
two years his junior. Saturday Mrs.
Garby presented her husband with as
fine a boy baby as has been seen in
the section, a county noted, for its
fine babies. The mother and child
are doing finely.
Family Murdered.
Marietta, O., Jan. 9.—Word was
received here last night of the mur-
der of Henry Sauer's entire fam-
ily, living about three miles
from this city. Sauer has a wife
and two or more children were found
murdered. Sauer was a wealthy
farmer add a good citizen. The mur-
der was evidently committed for
money.
Will Ask an Investigation.
London, Jan. 10.—Mr. Henniker
Heaton, conservative member for Can-
terbury, it is said will move the ap-
pointment of a select committee to
inquire into the management and ex-
penditures of the British section at
the World's fair. It is charged that
there has been gross mismanagement
and wasteful expenditure.
agricultural building and south of the-'
peristyle. The casino was quickly
devoured and the flames surged north
on top of the peristyle and dropping
made a second line of fire along the
base of the column. The flames then
sprang through the music hall which
corresponds at the north end of the
peristyle with the casino at the south.
The fire was a most singular and fas-
cinating sight. Along the top of the
peristyle were scores of statues.
The spectacle for those oeople fortun-
ate enough to be on. the moving side-
walk just east of the peristyle was that
of a succession of gigantic human
beings plunging, one after another,
headlong into the waters of the lake
below. The origin of the fire is said .
to be revenge on the part of a couple
of tramps. The solitary guard in the
music hall says that just before the
flames broke out he kicked two vaga-
bonds out of the music hall and told;
them to find quarters elsewhere.
They left in the direction of the casino-
and soon after the fire broke out and
soon everything on the grounds was
terror and confusion. Fears of loot-
ing added to the horror of the scene.
At about 10 o'clock with a possible
loss of about $10,000,000 by
fire in the manufacturers' build-
ing- alone the authorities begans
to realize that a large element in the
crowd was composed of idlers who,
once started in lawlessness, would be-
hard to control. Such preparations
as could hurriedly be made were set
in motion to remove goods and guard
other buildings, but all such efforts
were child's play. The rtter hope-
lessness of such attempts on such
short notice were made apparent at
once. The few officers on guard could
hardly do more than shut their eyes
and grit their teeth, hoping aerainst
hope that the flames would be speed-
ily stayed. Most of the foreign ex-
hibits were still in bond and what was
not burned was stolen.
Wild Kuixior.
Washington, Jan. 10.—A dispatch
received here yesterday from Paris,
France, says that President Peixoto
of Brazil has resigned. Senor -Men—T-Bo»d—^ma4@--a'^&spepat©_3ttemptrt'o
A Fatal Explosion.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Jan. 8.—The
Liflin & Rand powder mill at Rifton,
Ulster county, blew up Saturday
morning. Four men were killed and
several were badly wounded. The
dead are: Friedenburgh Gardner,
FrLsdenburgh Solomon, Saunders.
Joseph, Kip ——. The explosion oc-
curred in uhe glaze department, where
the powder is dried after it has gone
through the process of manufacture.
The explosion shook the nearby coun-
try, and in the village of Rosedale,
two miles away, many panes of glass
were shattered. The explosion was
distinctly felt in this city, and the fire
department was called out.
A Jealous Woman's Work.
Chicago, 111., Jan. 8.—Mrs. Maud
take the life of Mrs. Mary Gardner
yesterday by shooting her three
times with a revolver. Jealousy was
the cause of Mrs. Bond's act. She
went to the residence of Mrs. Bond
on West Chicago avenue. "I am
going to kill you," cried Mrs, Bond
excitedly the moment Mrs. Gardner
confronted her. She at once drew a
revolver and commenced to fire.
Three bullets struck Mrs. Gardner
and she cannot live. Mrs. Bond gave-
herself up.
Opium Smugglers Sentenced.
Portland, Ore., Jan. 5.—Robert
Gaithorne and Thomas Berg, who re-
cently pleaded guilty to a charge of
smuggling opium, were sentenced
yesterday to six months' imprison-
ment. L. F. Sweeney, who also
pleaded guilty, was sentenced to one-
day's imprisonment.
Wants Him Impeached.
Denver, Colo., Jan. 8.—Gov.
Waite will ask the legislature when it
convenes next Wednesday to impeach
; Attorney General Engley, on the
| ground that he has refused to give
| leg tl advice to tho governor, state
treasurer and auditor when asked for.

Chicago, Jan. 9.—The casino,
peristyle, music hall and liberal vrts
iuildings are in ruins. The lire

A Boon to Humanity.
A number of our great and most in
veterate tobacco smokers and chewers
have quit the use of the filthy weed.
The talismanic article -that does the
work is No-to-bac. The reform was
started by Aaron Gorber, who was a
confirmed slave for many vears to the
use of tobacco. He tried the use of
No-to-bac, and to his great surprise
and delight it cured him. Hon. C. W.
Ashcom, who had been smoking' for
sixty years, tried No-to-bac, and ifc
cured him. Col. Samuel Stoutener,
who would eat up tobacco like a cow
eats' hay, tried this wonderful remedy,
and even Samuel, after all his years of
slavery, lost the desire. J. C. Cobler,
Lessing Evans. Frank Dell, Georire B.
May, C. O. Skillington, Hanson Robi-
nett, Frank Hershberger, John Sliinn
and others have since tried No-to-bac
and in every case they report, not only
a cure of the tobacco habit, but a won-
derful improvement in their general
physical and mental condition, all of
which goes to show that the use of to-
bacco had been injurious to them in
more ways than one,
All of the above gentlemen are so
well pleased with the results that we
do not hesitate to join them in recom
mending it to suffering liumanitjs as
we have thoroughly investigated and
are satisfied that No-to-bac does the
work well and is a boon to mankind.
The cost is trifling—a dollar a box—
and the makers, The Sterling Remedy
company, have so much faith in No-to-
bac that they absolutely guarantee
three boxes to cure any case, or refund
money. One box in ever3' instance in
the above, effected a cure, with one or
two exceptions. No-to-bac has a won-
derful sale \ipon its merits alone,
throughout the United States, and can
be secured at almost any drug store in
this country or Canada, and it is made
