is frequently the exclamation of one lady
to another. The fact is not pleasant one
to have mentioned, but still the act may be
kindly one, for it sets the one addressedto
thinking, apprises her of the fact that she
is not in good health, and leads her to seek
reason therefor. Pallor is almost always
attendant upon the first stages of consump-
ton. The system is enfeebled, and the
blood is impoverished DIR. Pierce's ''Gold-
en- Medical Discovery" will act as tonic
upon the system, will enrich the impover-
ished blood, and restore roses to the cheek.

How He Laid Up Snug Sum Toward Go
ing to College.
A poor lad living near Philadelphia
was invited couple of years ago by a
wealthy friend in town to dine with
him. Among the dishes new to him on
the table, he notice that one he particu-
larly relished was sat down on the menu
as ''Filet de beuf aux campignons." A
sharp scrutiny showed him that the
''champignons' were only mushrooms,
such as he had gathered on the sheep
walks. These. however, as his friend
explained to him, were of fine quality,
and had been cultivated and canned in
France. They sold at retail, his friend
explained to him, readily at sixty cents
can. Strolling through the market
the next day, the boy saw one or two
quart baskets of native mush-
rooms marked at that price.
''Is there much demand for these
things?" he asked. ave dosnot think
much of them in the country
''They are considered rare deli
cacy," said the man. '.but only epicures
can afford to buy them.''

in his brain. Why could he not grow
mushrooms? He was poor, to be sure,
and had little time to spare from his
regular work and had no land. Here
was crop which he had been told
could be raised in cellar, one for
which there was already demand
which could easily be increased, and no
supply.
He went home, and during the next
few weeks read every book he could
find on mushrooms, laid out beds in
back cellar. manufactured his spawn
with few old mushrooms and the ma
nure heap, and last fall filed the mar
ket with his boxes of tiny silver buttons,
blushing delicate pink. They were Of
precisely the same quality as the French
canned champignons, only they were
dewy, fresh, and sold at twenty cents.
Epicures eagerly filed their baskets,
and others who never had tasted them
in the prevailing high prices of all
kinds of food, tried the new cheap veg
etables and came again and again. The
crop fairly took the market, and the
boy has already lad up snug sum to-
ward going to college. Boston Budget.

has had large experience In the hotel bust
ness, said: 7'The house will cost about So

two months, and the house will be finished
by the next Inauguration. There will be
accommodations for 1000 people, and they
will receive all the comforts that can posi-
bly, be provided for money. The rooms will
be elegantly furnished; each room having
electric bells, speaking tube to the office;
hot and cold water steam heater In the
winter, and cold air in summer, and the
electric light.
"a special suite OF apartments will be
set apart for the President OF the United

TIE RANDALL TARIFF BILL.

Mr. Morrison Takes Issue with MT.
Randall's Conclusions as to tho Prob
able Eject of the Measure.
The Randall tariff bill had not reached
the ways and means committee when It met
yesterday, so no formal action upon 1t was
possible.
Mr.. Morrison has been looking over the
tables attached to Mr.. Randalls tariff bill,
intended to exhibit the probable effect of
that measure, and he takes issue with Mr..
Randall's conclusions In several respects.
He said to. day that, taking the items las
given In the published statement of the
Randall bill) Of increase and decrease, COM
puted on the basis Of last years importa-
lions, he had found that on that basis
the bill would increase the GUS
toms receipts more than $5,000,000. AS
for the internal revenue section, he said, the
reduction In receipts would be at least
$4,000, 600 instead Of SIG, 600. The to-
bacco tax alone amounted to $4,000, 900.
At least one-tenth Of the spirits production
was used in the arts, and 1t Was proposed TO
exempt this from tax, and there would also
be the loss of revenue on fruit brandies.
When asked what would be the fate OF
the bill in the ways and means committee,
he said he did not know, but presumed that
the committee would treat 1t as 1t had
treated his bill-take what II thought was
good out of 1t and report IL to the House,
and leave out what 1t thought was bad.

WEST VIRGINIA. coNeREssMEN.
A Probable Republican Gain of Two
This Fall.


Chairman Gofr, Of the congressional cam
palgn committee, told a reporter Of the
REPUBLICAN that In making up his lists Of
the next Congress he counted on a gain OF
two Republican congressman in West Vlr-
glnia. There is very sound reasoning be-
meath this reckoning. West Virginia has
been drifting into the Republican column
for years, the Democratic majority at each
succeeding election bee oming less. Out OF
the four congressman one IL Republican.
OF the other three, two e0;d tl,eir seats by
very Insecure tenur.s, and are likely TO DO

formed fourth district, reached CoEgress

Notwithstanding the fact that the RepublS
can voters were In the majority. Io
has been losing ground lately,
and his denomination is doubtful
In case the Democrats PIT any other man
In the field Republican success IA assured.
Glbson's majority over Barbeo last time
was little over 100, aud this, Mr.. Col
thinks, can be easily overcome even II the
present congressman should he on the
ticket again. Wilson, Of the second dis
trict, is not as secure rs Gibson. Since the
last election the Republicans and Green.
hackers have been uniting their forces on
all local matters In order TO defeat the Bour-
bon element, and II appears that they will
preserve the union when II comes 10 elect
ing congressman. The Democratic
majority has always been narrow,
sometimes reaching less than fifty votes,
so any combination OF the Republl-
cans with third party can hardly
fail Of n successful issue. There is even
fighting chance for the Republicans In the
third district, represented by Snyder. Since
Kenna, who was formerly its representative,
was elevated to the Senate, the Democrats
have broken up into bitter factions. Snyder
Is no politician at all, aud at present has not

The President yesterday returned two
private pension bills to the Senate without
approval. In his message returning the
act granting pension to Newcomb Par
ker, he says: "Before the passage of the
bill herewith returned, the commissioner of
pensions, In ignorance of the action OF Con-
gress, allowed his claim under the general
law. AS this decision OF the pension bureau
entities the beneficiary named to draw pen
sion from the date Of filing his application,
which, under the provisions OF the special
bill in his favor, would only accrue from
the time Of its passage, am unwilling that
one found 1orthy to be placed upon the
pension rolls by the bureau, TO which he
properly applied, should be an actual loser
by reason OF a special interposltion OF
Congress In his behalf.n
The bill granting pension TO John s.
Kirkpatrick IL vetoed on the ground that
there is nowhere In his service any record
of disability, and for the further reason
that his claim is still pending undetermined
