NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

NEWS E1SOM WASHlNiTUNs
A ssman-afraid- off, doctors" has figured their
bills on Garfield at $4,000 with additions
still to come.
1t is estimated that one-third of the sacks and
four-fths of the pouches used by the Canadian
mail service have been stolen from the United
States.
The treasury officers who have taken
charge of the accounts of MIR. Burch, the late
secretary of the senate report that they have
found them all in most admirable shape. The
competent financial clerk, Mr.. Nixoa, has them
all SO arranged that there is nothing to criticse
or correct.
Gen Hazen says of Capt Howgate's case,
that it is probably so much worse than he at
first expected that he is unwilling to say any
thing about it. Semi-official statements from
the signal service Office, however, place the loss
of the government much higher than is charged
by the signal service officer. Capt. Howgate
refused to talk about the matter at all. Plead
ing illness as an excuse.
Those who are directly about the sufferer
say that the president fully appreciates his
danger. 1t is said of him that for long inter
walls, when awake, he will fix his gaze steadily
on some object and remain as if in deep medl-
tation. Within the past thirty-six hours he
has shown no disposition to talk with any
body, even Mrs. Edison, Gen, Swain, or Col
Rockwell, the nurses; nor does he ask for any
thing. He acts as if he wanted to be let alone,
and it is said he breads that the doctors may
have another surgical operation in store for
him.
Since the exposure made of alleged irregu.
larities in Capt. Howgate's case, statements
have been made to the effectt that he has been
made the victim of blackmailers for many a
month, leading q life of continual torment per-
sons who had some slight knowledge Of his
mlsdeeds using it to extort money from him.
The supposition that he is guilty accounts now
in the minds of some people for the extremely
vigorous efforts he has made to succeed GEN
Myer as chief signal officer, a position that
from detection. Howgate's defalcatiens amount
to $ 20, 900, and he has made an assignment Of
all his property held in his name in the Dis
trict Of Columbia to Norris Peters to insrre
Peters as surety ON his bond Of $40. 600.

Fernented Milk.
From the Springfield Republican.

Koomis, the fermented milk ordered for
the president, is frequently prescribed now
by physicians and is readily prepared. 1t
is kept by some of our local dairymen. The
Russian original was of mares milk, which
contains more sugar than cows milk. To
make it.of cows milk ordinary beer bottles
with patent shoppers are filed with fresh
milk, and into each one teaspoonful of
sugar and another of yeast is put. They
are then stopped and left in summer heat.
In day or two curd will rise filling half
of the bottle, but at a subsequent stage the
whey and the curd coalesce again, and the
mixture resumes the appearance in week
of ordinary milk charged with carbolic acid.
It is then TO be drunk, after cooling When
the bottles are opened the contents are the
most furious of all corked stuff, and it will
be hardly safe to attempt it in the White
House if it contains any works of art. The
bottle must be turned neck down into big
pitcher, the top covered tightly with nap
kin and then the stopper loosened by pass
ing the bare hand into the picture. Other
wise it will be all over the clothing, wall
paper, ceiling and other objects of interest.
The drink itself is q palatable acid, cover
ed with fine froth like beaten eggs. 1t is
n kind of campagne milk, and is very favor
able TO persons who need an acid but nu-
tritieus beverage.

thority.

] A BOSTON journal now states that the
eastern furniture manufacturers are seri-
ously troubled at the scarcity of black wal
nut timber. They allege that the whole
supply in the United States has become en-
gtirely inadequate to the demand; that the
difficulty of obtaining this wood, which is
now SO popular, is brought sharply home;
that the questions arise, "What is to be
done in the future, and to whatsections are
tt O. dealers to look for supply2" That
these are serious questions is evident from
the fact that the last. year the price has, in,
creased 25 per cent. Still, even at these
advanced figures, it is said to be almost i'm
possible to secure the needed stock. A few
years since in xthe west naaaufacturer
could purchase 100000 feet of one dealer;
now he must journey. from townte town
picking up few thousand feet wherever
fhe may chance to find lot for sale. He
considers himself fortunate If he obtains
the amount he needs at almostany cost. In
fact, If he does not sit down" ON o lot the
moment he sees it, some one else will
jump in and snatch it away from him.

ture. 1t can scarcely be replaced. All of

Ar the late meeting Of the bankers of the
United States at Saratoga, John Thompson
OF New York, a veteran, now retired from
active business, sent an article warning
against future smash. He, was not able
to predict when it will come, but reminded
his profession of the old rule of a panic
every 10 years; since 1857, however, this
rule has not held, and in the increased Sc
curity of modern banking, probably the
cycles of prosperity would span 20 years.
Speaking generally of the business outlook,
Mr.. Thompson said: "At present there is
but one alarming indication of trouble, and
that is in the number and magnitude of new
enterprises, involving the issue of millions
on millions of obligations. In 1912, and
for half of 1873, this same sign of coming
trouble was apparent, but to q fractional
extentas compared with the present. y

SOME of the big newspapers, notably the
New York Herald, have made themselves
ridiculous by affectation of superior med
ical and surgical knowledge of the presi-
dents situation and requirements. The
Herald asked why is he not further ad
vanced towards recovery" in response to
which the New York Tribune satirically re-
sponds:"It is simply because he was handed
over to surgery instead of journalism. 1t
is too late now to remedy the mistake, but
it ought never to be permitted to happen
again. Let it be understood hereafter that
when public man receives hurt or needs
medical care, he is to be taken to the near
est newspaper Office to be treated according
to the rules of good journalism. If this
treatment should not result in immediate
recovery, it would be well to have the CO.
operation of such eminent surgeons as Mrs.
? DR.. Edison and Mrs. DIR. Jane @. Swishelm.

Excitement in ,ne Markets.

There was good deal of excitement in the
markets the latter part of last week, owing in a
great measure to speculation. In Milwaukee,
wheat for September delivery ranged from

$1.23 to $1.26; October wheat $1.24 to

speculative business was transacted IN grain
and provisions than ever before known in the
history Of the trade. 1t is not expected that
the above quotations viii be kept up during
this week, unless the speculative craze should
be intensified. which may be the case, until
the bulls are badly gored and retire from the
