DIsTRUsrING THE PRESIDENT.

Philadelphia Times.
The Republicans in the House of Rep
resentativcs appear to have less faith in
President Harrison then the Democrats
Republican Representative Anderson, of
Kansas, offered an amendment to the
Mckinley bill in committee of the whole,
giving the President the power to sus-
pend the duty on any imported article
when in his judgment, its production OF
sale in this country is monopolized by a
Trust.
On division the amendment was adopted
by vote of 81 to 76, but Anderson, of
Kansas, and Owens, of Indiana, were the
only Republicans who voted for it. Of
the 81 votes it received 50 were cast by
Democrats.
If the amendment is allowed to remain
in the bill the Republicans i'll the Senate
will have to decide whether President
Harrison can be trusted to be lenient
enough to the protected trusts. The
chances are that they will decide that he
cannot. If so they will insure protection
to the trusts by striking out the amend
ment themselves.

Joseph L. Graham, of New York, has
in his possession a shoe and a sandal
which were worn by Queen Elizabeth
more than 800 years ago.
The shoe is in a wonderful state of
preservation. 1t is a No. in length,
but rather too broad to be considered
shapely at the present time. 1t is made
of yellow brocaded satin, lined with fine,
stout canvas. The sole is of oak tanned
leather. The heel is exactly like the high
French heel of modern times. 1t is
placed well under the foot and is at least
two inches high. The toe runs to a sharp
point. Across the instep are two satin
straps, which evidently were once fas-
tened with jeweled clasps. There is no
stiffening in any part of the shoe. The
edges are bound with yellow silk braid.

Longevity in Maine.

West Trenton claims to be "healthy
neighborhood." A correspondent calls
attention to the fact that there are five
families in that vicinity, adjoining neigh
bors, who in the aggregate have reared
thirty-nine children, and with their ten
parents added would make altogether
forty-nine in number. The eldest parent
living is 70 and the youngest 90. The
eldest child is 46 and the youngest 1S.
These homes have been occupied by these
families on an average of forty years; yet
in that time there have been but three
deaths from this number, that of one
parent and two children Ellsworth

OUR RIVERS.

Never before in the history of any place
have so many and such great tasks been
| imposed upon a set of law makers in
such brief space of time as have been de-
manding and are now demanding the at
tention of the Councils of the city Of
Johnstown. The chaos in which the Or
ganization of the city government found
its matters was equaled only by the con-
fusion incident to the disturbances of last
years misfortunes to our city. In the
haste to speedily organize the city gov
ernment some mistakes would nf neces-
sity occur, and some consequent dissatis-
faction, but in the course of time such er-
rors can be corrected.
There is one matter, however, that can
not we'll afford days delay, and that
matter is the rivers. 1t will not do to
wait until it will be too late to do any
thing ourselves the coming summer in
case we get no assistance from elsewhere
1t is the opinion of many of our people
that what is known as the chill project
will never be accomplished. We must
then look to the improvement of the
channels of the rivers in orderIto increase
their capacity for carrying off the water
that is poured into them in times of heavy
rainfall. The one work of most pressing
necessity is the enlarging, either by
widening or deepening, or both, of the
channel below the stone bridge. The
channel at that place is at present insult
fcient to carry off the waters poured into
1t at times of high water. Many are of
the opinion that if the channel were well
opened below so that the water poured
into it could be promptly discharged,
there would be great increase in velC c.
ity and consequently the channels in their
present condition would be able to dis
charge very much more water than at
present. Any very considerable delay in
regard to this matter might be attended
with consequences for which no one
would wish to be responsible. 1t is the
! safer plan 20 proceed.

If there be any buster man in New

corporation, he would do well to step up

the vast routine business of the Trinity

preaching regularly, marrying people,
visiting the sick and officiating over the
dead, he is called upon by men and wo-
men of every walk in life for advice on
all sorts of questions. No matter how
early you 90 to his office in the morning,
you will find dozen or twenty people

Those who delight in the sensational
and realistic will have much to enthuse
over in Mr.. Coopers presentation of Adam
Forepaugh's historical Wild West" ex-
hibition, with its daring scouts, crack
shots, rollicklng cowboys, bucking
bronchos, buffalo, elk, and other denizens
of the plains and mountains. Capt. A II.
Bogardus, famous the world over as
scout and dead shot, impersonates the la
mented General Custer in startling and
vivid reproduction of Clusters Last Rally
which is now given in the same complete
form that characterized its production in
New York City, under Mr.. Forepaugh's
management where it ran 1853 nights
with unexampled success. Many of the
Indians who participa te in the grand mill
tary spectacle were actually engaged in
the battle on the Little Big Horn. A new
spectacle for this year, Sheridan's Ride
from Winchester, never before seen under
canvas.
The marvellous power that Adam Fore.
paugh, Jr., exercises over the lower ami
mails has a striking illustration in two
features introduced to the public for the
first time this season--his intrepid and ex-
citing forty. horse act and his trapese-leap.

An Ear Machine.

The ear machine is one of the latest
beautifiers. 1t is merely bit of sprung
steel, so shaped as to come down over the
ears and press them back when they
stand out too prominently. One can
hardly blame people for using them.
Ears that stand out from the head like
handles from the side of jug are not
pretty. If a mother sees that her child
is likely to be so afflicted she can easily
remedy the difficulty by little trouble.

THE Senate and the House have got
into " irreconcilable differences on an
amendment to the dependent pension bill.
The object is to block legislation for the
present, so that the g. o. p. will have an
opportunity to hold the soldier vote again
this fall with promises. In view of the
lavishness with which appropriations
have been made and must yet be made
during the present Congress, the Repub
lican party would be afraid to face the
country after passing a measure that
would call out an additional 100000, 900
