REPUBLICANS AND CARLISLE.


Former-Judge Crisp's Views.
WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 23-Saturday
afternoon, Contestant ThOb3 asserted that on
Monday Speaker Carlisle would ask his
friends in the house to reopen the case for
the purpose OF taking additional testimony.
The contestants information was subse-
quently found to be erroneous, and when the
story reached the ears OF Carlisle's friends it
was quickly denied. In the circumstances
the fight in the house will be continued until
the Democrats secure the attendance of alb
sentees sufficient To make quorum. Re-
publican members Of the house say they are
well pleased with the situation, and glad,
for political effect that the case
will not be reopened. The controversy
appears to have narrowed down to "A
purely political wrangle. Friends Of the
speaker say that when the case was pending
before the elections committee upwards of
sixty Republican members called upon the
contested voluntarily, and assured him they
intended to vote in his favor. Had they done
SO the house could not have been left without
a quorum.
Chairman Crisp, Of the elections commit
tee thinks that the facts that eleven
members of the commttee-incuding two
Republicans, Powell and Conper-agreei that
Thobe has no case, and that the other Repub-
licans concede that Carlisle fully answered
Thobe, should be sufficient to end the mat
ter. Reopening the case now would be n
dangerous precedent and no member could
be secure in his seat

A VERY USEFUL INVENTION.


PITrsBuRG, Pa, Jan. %. Probably one
of the most useful and interesting discoveries
of the century has just been perfected ant
put to practical use by Professor Hugo
Blanck and H. w. Smith, of this city. A
method OF thoroughly purifying water by
the passing of electrical currents through the
same has been subjected to the severest tests,
the results leaving no doubts Whatever as tC
the effectiveness of the invention.
The passage of the electric cur.
rent through the water kills all
germs of disease that it may contain, also
leaving it clear of any impure substances.
The experiments were made with water
taken from the Monongahela river in the
vicinity Of the sewer escapes. After being
electrified only the purest water flowed from
the specially constructed tank. Mr. Smith
claims that the plan is exceedingly simple,
but declines to give details. Applications
for patents have been made aud several cap
italists have offered all necessary money to
back it.

Bakers Breakfast Cocoa is a yer.

Bakers Breakfast Cocoa is a very com
forting drink during cold weather
One of its special merits, giving
it a great advantage over tea and coffee,
is its heat>giving quality; it fortifies deli
cate constitutions against the cold, sup-
plying an easily appropriated fuel for
those internal fires upon the adequate
support of which health and happiness
depend. Bakers Breakfast Cocoa may
therefore be especially commended as a
morning drink, and many people who are
liable to sleeplessness have found that a
cup of it drunken hot on going to bed
brings sound aud refreshing sleep. 1t
may be had of all grocers.
