At WASHINGTON.

1t Is generally believe at the Capito
that all the appropriation bills will be
signed by the I'd of August. They have
all passed both houses except the Sundry
Civil, the General Deficiency and the For
| titiCation bills. 1t seems a. though 1t
would be quite possible for Congress to
adjourn the first week in August.
II is said that President Cleveland, his
wife and few friends will go to the Adj
irondacks about the middle Of August,
and remain five or six weeks.
William Hunter, second assistant score
tary OF state, ond the oldest official in
continuous service In the United States,
died at Washington Yesterday.
The Secretary Mannings health Is i'm
proving. He will probably be able to re-
sumo his Official duties when he returns
in October
Mr. John, Goode has been notified that
he will not be reappointed Solicitor Gen
eral j. Randall of Virginia is mentioned
as a candidate,
There is reason to believe that the Sen
ate will propose important amendments
to the new eNtradtion treaty.
Minister Phelps denies the report that
he is preparing a brief on the fisheries
question.
Senator Blair, for a majority of the
Senate Committee on Education and La
hor, on Monday submitted a favorable re-
port proposing an amendment to the con
stitution in relation to alcoholic liquors
and other poisonous beverages be sub
mittcd to the legislature Of the States for
ratification. The amendment provides
that after the year 1900 the manufacture,
sale and importation of distilled alchhol-
ic. intoxicating liquors, except for medic
inal mechanical, chemical and scientific
purposes, and for use in arts, shall cease.
The Democrats were put into a most
damaging position in the House on Satur-
day in proceeding on the bill for new YES
sells for the navy. The Democratic eau
Gus Committee having compelled the
Democrats of the Naval Committee 70
change front and support an cmasculatcd
substitute for the bill they reported last
March, Mr.. Boutelle assumed the advoca-
CIV Of the original bin, and after protest
ing against the dictation Of the Demo-
cratic leaders, came very near carrying
the bill through the House in spite OF the
vigorous plying of the Democratic party
whip. In the Committee of the Whole,
on Mr.. Boutelle $, motion, the clause per
hitting the purchase of arnor plating
outside of the United States was stricken
out, and on motion of Mr.. Buck the pro-
vision for a dynamite gun-boat was in
serted, and the bill reported favorably to
the House.

A convenient friend at the elbow of tn,
Fairfield journal is made to say tina
"there is n whole county In :hc STATE
where the prohibitory law il utterly ig
norcd, and there is 10 city in the county
either" Why not let that friend speak
out and name the county f-Somcrset Re
portor.
Can it be Pouland Idrer-
hser.
The Advertiser must be entirely at
fault. 1t cannot be Somerset. The Pro-
hibitory law is as well enforced in Somcr-
set as the average counties Of the State,
to say the least. Somerset is one of the
smaller counties in population but in the
three terms OF Supreme Court, covering
the year past there have been lG indict-
ments and appealed cases under the Pro-
cnts pleaded guilty and received the legal
punishment. Skowhcgan is not a very
populous town, but the sum OF 81 ,2i0 has
been paid in fines to the County and Trial
Justices during the year, beside the costs
In other parts of the County the law has
been enforced, perhaps not to the
up in that direction. There have been
proceedings in enforcement of the law in
different parts of the county of recent
date. In view Of these facts the idea of
the law being utterly ignored" in Somcr-
set County is utter fooishness.

Precautionary Measures,

The Watervillc Sentinel says: "Diph-
iberia is prevalent in Fairfield and the Sc
lcctmen of that town have come out with
IA manifesto calling for the immediate re-
moyal of all accumnlations of filth, and
the use or proper diSinfectants "
This is usually the case. These troub-
les are in the adjoining towns. There
are probably cases of this dread disease
in Fairfield, Wateryille, Skowhegan and
most towns and villages in Maine at
times but we are not aware that it is
prevalent. The action OF the sclectmen
of that town is commendable at this sea-
son of the year whether dphtheria is
prevalent or not, and the authorities Of
other towns would do well to follow their
example as Il patter of prccaution. Too
great care cannot be exercised by our
health officers, State or town, or by our
people. The examination of his own
premises by every householder would be
a good thing at this time.

\ Philadelphia physician writes to the
Record of that city II have often ad-
vised patients OF mine who are troubled
with insomnia to try a quiet church where
the preacher was not too energetic in his
manner and in most cases the result has
been gratifying. The poor man who has
become almost wild through want of
sleep generally obtains relief and falls off
into gentle and refreshing slumber.
Many people suffering in this way take a
ride in a railroad train for relief and of
ten get it. but nothing has succeeded so
well as the Sunday service in quiet
church If those people, however, who
do not need to sleep in church and do
not want to, would drink very strong tea
or coffee before going to the church,
they might find it effective, but by no
means healthy. Why do you see the
bald heads nodding most in church, Be
cause the old are more susceptible to the
of such surroundings The
women seldom 90 to sleep, because they
are so dressed that to sleep would be al !
most impossible
