Losing A SuhScribnr.

The editors of deserv edly popular
newspaper in this city have not been
able to understand why Mr.. Dobson,
one of their Oldest subscribers, and
man of great responsibility and almost
total badness, came into the counting
room the other day and ordered his
paper stopped. 1t has transpired, how.
ever, that the Light before Mr.. Dobson,
on taking up his paper, after tea, as
was his custom, observed q paragraph
about two eclipses of the sun which were
to occur this year. and began TO read it
to his family. The article was very in
teresting, and Mr.. Dobson, finding the
days of his youth recalled by it, when
he had seen numerous such celestial
phenomena, laid down his paper when
he had read halfway through tho
account, and begah to tell the children
how they would arrange for the displ. y.
The children were much elated, of
course, and then Mr.. Dohson got some
window glass and showed them how to
smoke it over the lamp, and the
youngsters got smut all over their noses
as they looked through the obscured
fragments, and Mr.. Dobson, himself,
blistered his finger and thumb by
taking up red-hot piece by mistake
for cool one. After half an hour of
this sort of recreation attention was
given to the conclusion of the article.
Then Mr.. Dobson read that the only
places where one could see the eclipse
were situated in remote sections Of
Asia and Afr;ca Thereupon he said
he would not take such paper any
longer, and the very next morning he
stopped his subscription. Which shows
that newspaper cannot be too careful
in the arrangement of its facts.-Bosto"

From Washington.

Ex-senator John W. Dorsey, indicted with
Brady and others for conspiracy in the star
route cases, gave bail in the sum Of $40, 900.
The President and Secretaries Chandler and
Lincoln have accepted an invitation to attend
the national encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic in Baltimore on June 81 and
o. This will be the first encampment in
Southern city. Fifteen thousand veterans are
expected to be in line.
GUITEAu's appearance has changed consider
able within few weeks, says a dispatch from
the national capital. He has lost color, and
his beard has been allowed to grow. He never
mentions the name OF Mr. Scoville, and seems
to have dismissed his relatives from his mind
Judging from the remarks made by visitors
to the Jail and the tenor of the letters and
cards which come TO the prisoner, the feeling
against him appears to be becoming intensified
1t is apparent from the remarks made that it
would not be safe to admit visitors to Guiteau' 3

even if he were awaiting trial they would, for
his protection, prevent him from receiving
visitors.
TIE President has approved the pension

A WAsHIEGTos dispatch says that 'there Is
great anxiety in army circles about the conf
pulsory retirement bill and its probable defeat
at this session OF Congress. General Sherman,
in speaking of the bill, said he favored a
measure making retirement in the army COM
pulsory at certain age, leaving no discretion
airy power in the matter, or in other words,
Just as it is in the navy. Such system in the
army would in his opinion be far more salts
factory to all persons interested than the pres
ent one, and would relieve the President Of
much embarrassment"

when the tones OF musical instrument be-
come harsh and discordant we say 1t is ''out OF
tune" The same may be said Of that far
more wonderful and complicated piece of me-
cbanisn the human structure, when it be-
comes disordered. Not only actual disease,
but those far more common causes, overwork,
mental anxiety and fast living, may impair
its vigor and activity. The best remedy for a
partial collapse of the vital energies, from
these as from other causes, is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which is at the same time an
agreeable and mind cheering cordial, and the
best possible invigorant in eli cases Of debility.
1t is an incompatible stomschic and anti

with certainty and thoroughness bowel and
kidney complaints, dyspepsia, nervousness,
rheumatic troubles and many other bodily all
ments. 1t also counteracts influences which
predispose to disease.

FORTY.SEVENTH CONGRESS-,
Senate.

The Senate took up as the regular order the
Japanese indemnity fund bill, which directs
thePresident to pay Japan the 81, SIG, 364 now
held as such fund by the state department, and
further to pay 1854, 600 Of the fund as prize
money to the officers AMI crew OF the United
States ship Wyoming for services in 1868. Mr..
Morgan advocated the bill, and Mr.. Jones, OF
orida, opp" sed it, arguing in favor of return
ing the s765,00O principal received from Japan,
but opposing the payment oil interest. No
action was taken.
Mr.. Frye, from the committee on claims,
reported favorably to the Senate bill ap-
propriating S343, 800 for the relief of the heirs
OF the late Richard W. Meade, of Philadelphia.
Mr. Meade, merchant of Philadelphia, visited
Spain in the year 1904, in order to superintend
commercial transactiois in which he was
personally interested. In 1916 Mr.. Meade
fell under the displeasure of the Spanish
government, was arrested and imprisoned, his
business ruined and his property destroyed or
taken for public use. He was subsequently, re-
leased, and appealed to the United States to
assist him in enforcing his claim against the
Spanish government. Spain then adjusted his
claim, fixing the amount at S373S9, and
offered to settle it by conveying to him large
tracts of land in the Flordas. Other claims of
American citizens against Spain were also filed,
and out OF these claims grew the negotiations
which resulted in the treaty ceding Florida to the
United States, the United States agreeing to
pay the claims OF clilZenS OF the country against
the Spanish government to the extent of
s5,000,000 Mr. Meades claim was at the time
disallowed by commission appointed by our
government to settle these claims, and has
since been pressed upon the attention of Con-
gress by Mr. Meade while living and since his
death by his daughter.

No time was lost by the House on the 25th
in renewing the struggle over the Mackey-
Dibbe contested election case, which was
called up by Mr.. Calkins Immediately after
the reading of the journal. Mr. Randall, as
usual, raised the question OF consideration,
and then the same farce of calling

Thursday by a vote OF 1874 to IS, although he
said he wanted to go on important business.
Two or three times there was bare quorum
voting on some motion, and then roll call fol-
lowed roll call on dilatory motions until the
quorum was b.oken.
Mr.. Dunn, of Arkansas, introduced a joint
resolution appropriating 500, 900 to be expend-
ed by the secretary of war for the relief oi
persons rendered destitute by the re-
cent overflow of the Mississippi river
and its tributaries. Referred to com,
mittee on appropriations. The joint resolution
was accompanied by letter addressed to Mr.
Dunn by Governor Mangum, OF Arkansas
stating that the present overflow is in many
respects more disastrous than that of Februar,
and March, and that unless Congress comes Il
| the aid of the destitute persons of the over
flowed region starvation is imminent.
