WASHINGTON MATTERS.
DOWN TO BUSINESS AGAIN,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Congress recon
yened Yesterday, but it is thought that
there will be very little important work
done for several days and it may be week
or more before both houses will settle
down to work in earnest. Many of the
house committees have yet to meet and
organize. There is an immense amount
Of work ready for these committees in the
consideration of the enormous quantity of
bills introduced the last week before ad-
journment. The quantity and bulk OF
these measures can be understood when
it is known that the government printing
office, with the large and splendidly Or
ganized staff which it contains, has but
Just finished the printing of the bills
which were introduced nearly three weeks
ago.
1t was very commonly predicted when
this Congress met that it might be ac-
cepted as foregone conclusion that it
would develope into one OF the longest
sessi ms on record. Reed and his advisers
are determined that this prediction shall
not be verified if they can help it. 1t is
not only proposed to make prompt and
active sessions of it, but they propose to
have everything out of the way for ad-
journment at an earlier date than has been
usual
The work of the ways and means COM
mite all through the holiday recess is re-
garded as good evidence of the Republican
and the appropriation com
mittee, thinks that his committee will
have disposed of all its work, so that as
far as the appropriations are concerned
there will be nothing to prevent adjourn
ment by the first week of July.

WILL REFUND SIX MILLIONS.

In an opinion in the celebrated Edel-
hof customs case the supreme court holds
that silk and cotton ribbons, used exclu
sively as hat trimmings, are dutiable at
20 per cent, as trimmings for hats, bon
nets and heads, not at 80 per cent, as
materials of which silk is the component,
the real value. The government will, by
this decision, be compelled to refund
about $6,000,O0O to importers.

HER BONES GROWING.
a Woman in New York Afflicted With
AcrOmegaIy,

AT the Montefiore home for chronic linva-
lids in New York there is a patient suffer
ing from peculiar and incurable disease,
the like of which is rarely met with, and
never before i'm such perfectly hopeless
and completely developed state as in this
instance. 1t is called acromegaly, but the
name conveys no information of the hor-
rible nature of the disease, which is one
that battles medical skill. The bones of
the frame and Uranium of victim of aero
megaly never cease to grow, but add bone
tissue to bone tissue, cartilage to cartilage,
until the individual is distended to an
enormous size.
A Prussian woman, thirty-fve years old, q,
is afflicted with this disease and has been
at the Montetiore home for the past year.
She was also at the German hospital for
fourteen months. The bones of both the
frame and head have been steadily growing,
the disease first developing when she was
twenty years old. No case of a
similar nature, so complete in every detail
has before been met with by physicians
either in this country or i'll Europe, though
the disease has been observed before in "a
partly developed form. case to which
the public had their attention called was
that of the " freak " at one time exhibited
at the museums IS the alleged big footed
girl.
The disease in its fully developed form
is one that attacks the bones OF the extreni-
ties first. The hands and feet begin to de-
velop enormously. Then the eXtremities
of each individual bone take on bone tissue
and increase in size. At about the same
time the bones of the Uranium and the
cartilages of tho ears also develop. While
lhls process OF development in bone tissue
Is continuing an atropny ofmuscular tissue
Is going on and certain glands that remain
almost rudimentary in the healthy adult
are developed. The medical fraternity is
at "A loss to account for this curious phe-
nomenon.
The poor victim at the Montefiore home
now weighs l9i pounds, which is almost
| entirely due TO bone tissue. Her hands,
| feet and head are enormous. Her face is
| pale and her features are distorted. She
| suffers little pain from the unnatural dis
| order. Strange to say that with the growth
| of her bones the joints remain free and ac-
| tive and are as flexible as ever.

INVENTOR EDISON OUTDONE

Scientific Circles stirred UP BY An In
ventlve Genius In Cincinnati.
A Cincinnati dispatch says: Harry Cox,
the young man who has created such a
stir in scientific circles by the announce
ment that he has discovered method of
producing working current of electricity
of any desired power directly from heat,
thus obviating the use of "a boiler or dynamo
or any ofthe costly and intricate machinery
used forthat purpose, is an Ohio boy. Cox is
smooth faced iyoung man, who possesses
a facial expression remarkably like that of
Harrison, the boy preacher. Until two
years ago Harry Cox lived at the little
suburb of Fernbank. At that time he was
residing in this quiet place, and had a
little workshop buried back in the woods
for the purpose Of pursuing his studies
and experiments in a way that would
the curious outside world. The people
out there regarded him as ga queer soft of
a duck. A"
His den is connected with the residence
with electrical connections that do all sorts
of tricks. His brother David, who is now
with the Bell Telephone company, of New
York, was his assistant. Among the bric-
a.brac scattered about the rooms, all OF his
invention, is a self-winding clock, a serv-
ant call, patent lighter designed to do
away with matches, recorder of supplies
of water and an electric whistle.
Young Fox is backed by company
with "A capital of 81 900, 900, and has arranged
to put his latest discovery into practical
operation with well-known Eastern capita
lists as officers: Francis A. Pratt, presi-
dent: r.. n. Pratt, vice PRECEDENT; Ernest
Cody, treasurer. The discovery is said to
produce electricity directly from heat as
readily as steam from water. Cox was for
time messenger boy in the telegraphic
department of the Little Miami railroad
and is AN expert telegrapher.

shifted beer to the southwark and trotted

Carefully he rolled keg on its side until

thought it was the same old fence he had
climbed half an hour before, and therein
he deceived himself greatly. He lurched
across the dooryard, and then, feeling n
happy alcoholic inspiration, lay down and
began to sing a song.
At this juncture "a policeman happened
along and ordered young J. Procyon Lotor
to quit. The songster refused. The officer
climbed the fence and arrested him. Lotor
fought, bit, and scratched all the way to the
station-house, but his name and pedigree
were successfully taken, and he was held
for disorderly conduct. The park watch
man took him home i'm cage yesterday.

THE ANNUAL MOTH WAR.
Things Should be Rolled Up and Pasted
Up Escape the RavaGes.


From the New York World.
Now is the time of year when great
number of women can find it in their heart
to declare that housek coping is a failure of
the most dismal kind. The cares that loom
in the spring arc Ito them more numerous
than the flowers that bloom, aud well to
the fore among the eNigencies of the sea-
son comes the need of waging deadly war
against the merry little moth that is sure to
get in her fiue work-and her eggs-wher-
ever vigilance is relaxed for an instant.
The knowing woman begins az soon as
the days grow warm To pack up her goods.
Furs and clothing 90 first. The former
should be carefully shaken, beaten with a
rattan wand, then cOmbed with a rather
coarse new comb, and finally rubbed both
ways with damp linen cloth. Then hang
in a sunny window for few minutes, and
afterwards wrap them in several thick
nesses of newspaper. The one thing that
a moth absolutely detests is printers ink,
so an illustrated sheet that is very inky
is especially commended. Put your news
paper package into a clean box and paste
strips of thick brown paper along the
edges.
Clothing must be absolutely clean when
put away. If it can be washed so much the
better. If not, brush and sponge it tho
roughly, then wrap and pat up in the same
manner as the furs You can surround
the shelves, drawers and places where these
packages are stored with any of the awful
smelling exterminators" which you may
select 10 scatter through your house, and If
there are no moths inside those boxes
when you seal them up there won't any
get there later.
Small rugs and fur mats may be similarly
dealt with, but carpets and hangings pre-
sent greater difficulties. 1t is best TO have
the former thoroughly cleansed and rolled
with tar paper in the folds. Then wrap
them first in newspapers and then sew or
pin securely in stout unbleached muslin
A like treatment is recommended for dra-
peries. If you can devote room in your
house to the storage of the goods which
are especially toothsome to the moths, have

If you have a neighbor who does not
