ARMOURs FAITH IN ST. PAUL.
Rem arkable Expressions of the
Millionaire QuOted in wall
street.

New Y,RK, January 2s.-The d.
rectoTs of the st. Paul railroad met
last Saturday. President Mitchell,
Phil D. Armour ard other Chicago
directors attended the close OF the
meeting. President Mitchell said the
directors had done nothing but to ad-
j,urn until / O'Clock Monday, and he
really didn't know exactly what had
been discussed, as he had not been
much interested in the proceedings.
Mr.. Armour, in response to q card,
sent out similar answer.
Previous to the meeting statement
Of Mr.. Armour was issued in Wall
street, in which he gave rtteran ce to
the following:
God is in joint sccount with every
holder Of st. Paul stock. He has left
his earmarks all through the West
and Northwest where the st. Paul
runs.
The only other sentence in financial
history which can at all compare with
it is that Of well.known downtown
bank president, who, three years ago,
in public speech, said:
The stock exchange has the greatest
civilizing influence in the United
States, except, perhaps, the gospel Of
Jesus Christ.
Rumors were current on the street
to-day as to what the st. Paul directors
would probably do at their meeting.
1t was said that they would authoriza
the building of the Kansas City exten.
sion, issue bonds to pay for the same,
and issue stock to purchasers OF the
bonde, etc.

TIE OHIO SENATES.
Both Sides still holding Out and
Unwilling 10 Make Concessions.

COLUMBUS, O., January 2i.-The
situation in the Ohio Senate trouble
was quiet to-day. Suggestions came
from both sides looking to compro-
mise, but nothing definite nor any
mode of procedure has been agreed
upon. Neither side is willing to be
known as outwardly proposing COM
promise, and for this reason the re-
ports of settlement may not be Of
any consequence. The Republicans
claim to be firm in their position, and
that they will agree to nothing except
1t includes immediate proceeding
under the rules they adopted last
evening for the disposition of the
Hamilton county contest cases in open
Senate. The Democratic Senate is
credited with proposition that spe.
ciai committee be appointed of equal
membership politically for the hear
ing of the contest cases. The Repub-
licans say they will not entertain this
suggestion, even if it should come in
regular form. The Democratic Sena-
tons met in caucus at 10 o'clock this
morning, and were in session several
hours. rhe Republican Senate met at
10 o'clock, with the Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor in the chair. All the Repub-
lican mem bers were present and none
of the Democrats. The journal of the
day previous was read and declared
approved. They reclaimed in session
about one hour and adjourned to to-
morrow morning. There was no ex-
element and only a few spectators
were present.
The Democratic caucus accomplished
nothing except to resolve on solid
front, and that they will go into the
Senate chamber at o'clock pm. to-
morrow, the time to which they adj
iourned.

LITERARY NOTES.

BY the burning of a book-bindery
in New York few days ago all the
sheets of the edition de luxe OF "Sport
with Gun and Rod" except few
which had been removed, were de-
stroyed. The edition cannot be du-
plicated.
THE January number of The Century
is out of print, and a new edition Of
5000 copies is on the press. The pub
fishers have had to increase the edi-
ton Of the February Century, since it
has been printing, on account OF the
extra demand for this "Midwinter"
number. The editors sent in word to
the publishing department q few days
ago that "if the public only know how
good the February number is going to
be, the large edition considerably
over 100000 would be exhausted on
the day Of ISSUE"
Mr.. HowELLs has turned upon his
critics. If they do not like his theory
of the novel the trouble is that they
are either too old to accept fresh idea
or too young to think for themselves.
"The critics." he says in the February
Harper, when they are not elders ossi-
fed in tradition, are apt to be young
people, and young people are necessa-
rily conservative in their tastes and
theories. They have the tastes and
theories OF their instructors, who per-
haps caught the truth Of their day, but
whose routine life has been alien TO
any other truth"

A Gentle stimulus

Is impaired to the kidneys and bladder by
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which is most
useful 10 overcoming torpidity of these or
gans. Besides infusing more activity into
them, this excellent tonic endows them with
additional vigor, and enables them the better
to undergo the wear and tear Of the dis
charging function imposed upon tsem by
nature. Moreover, as they are the channel
forth escape of certain impurities from the
blood, increases their usefulness by strength
ening and BEAUTIFULLY stimulating them.
In certain morbid conditions Of these i'm
portant organs, they fall into a sluggish
state, which is the usual precursor of dis
ease. What then can be OF greater service
than a medicine which impels them to
greater activity when slothful? No maladies
are more perilous than those which affect
the kidneys, and a medicine which averts
the peril should be highly esteemed.
