bill. Quite anumber OF people believe that
he intends to veto the bill anyway.
Mr.. Blaine's idea of an amendment to the
Mckinley tariff bill providing for reciprocity
with the South and Central American coun-
tries continues to be an absorbing topic Of
| conversation, In spite OF the important hap
penings Of the week. 1t is strongly favored
| by the President, and is gaining ground very
rapidly in Congress and unless all surface in
dications are at fault, the senate will GER
tainly adopt it. and it will have an excellent
chance Of passing the house ALSO The more
1t is discussed the more friends 1t makes; 1t
promises to afford relief not only to the over
taxed manufacturer, but also to the great
agricultural interests OF the country by en-.
largtnR the market for our products. 1t Is bv
no means new idea with MIR. Blaine; it Is
only the legitimate outcome Of the plans he
began when Secretary Of State under the
late President Garfield, and which would have
been carried out under that administration
had not the assassin Giteau shot General
Garfield.
| Senator Henderson has made a strong re-
ment several times reiterated in this cores

old rat trap used for the government print
ing office, the largest establishment of its
kind in the world. Senator Henderson says,
the only remedy is the construction for the
use OF this Office of a tireproof building.
Ground may at this time easily be obtained
In the immediate vicinity of the present office;
but unless Congress shall act promptly IN Sc
curing it private enterprise will get ahead of
it by purchasing it for other purposes.
| The house committee on reform in the civil
service Is preparing to make general in
investigation of the workings of the present
civil service law. and Commissioner Roose-
welt has brought down shower of criticism
upon himself by writing a letter to the COM
mittee suggesting how it should be con-
Quoted. Such letter was hardly In good
taste, whatever may have been the motive
which inspired it.
| The long investigation by senate commit
tee Of the dressed meat traffic, which took
place last year, has borne fruit, and the sem
ate committee on agriculture has favorably
reported bill to provide for the inspection
of all live stock about to be slaughtered in
tended for human consumption IN any state
or territory other than where slaughtered, or
for expectation.
The house bill authorizing oaths to pension
papers to be administered by any official au-
thorized to administer oaths for general pur-
poses has been favorably reported to the
senate.
| Senator Ingalls, hit the nail square on the
| head, as he usually does. when he said that
Senator Call of Florida had not only grossly
violated and abused the privileges of the SEN
! ate, but had deliberately falsited the Record
in filling fourteen pages of that publication
with personal statement defending himself
from an attack made upon him by citizen
| of Florida. 1t cannot be too often stated that
the Congressional Record should contain only
what actually takes place in congress.
The President will tomorrow pay his first
visit to the new cottage at Cape May, where
his family are quartered for the season. He

Praise from Sir Hubert.

can be made by one of the two daily vesti-
buled fast trains of the Baltimore g. Ohio
railroad between Chicago aud Washington,
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York would
be hard to find. The Baltimore & Ohio rail.
road of today is vastly different institution

antiquated locomotives and cars which then
constituted its equipment have given place
to rolling stock of the latest and best patterns

luxurious character, compare favorably with

mentation which not long ago was considered
the height of art in such places. The wood is
of mahogany with little carved or raised
work, but brought down to the highest finish,
carefully selected for fine grain and texture
and showing highly artistic cabinet work
which the eye does not tire of admiriiP. The
improvement in locomotive equipment is
equally remarkable. In order to climb the
Aileghanfes, from whose nights the passenger
enjoys views of sublimity and beauty which
he never fOrgets, heavy grades and numerous
curves were necessary in constructing the
road and until recently it required the help
Of extra engines to get train to the summit.
Now when the foot of the mountain is reached.
instead of two or more engines being called
into service there is attached to the train a
single engine weighing 81 tons, having six
coupled drivers and cylinders 21x26 inches in
size, and this powerful machine takes the
heavy train up the long stretches of grades,
reaching as high as lls feet to the mile, at q
lively pace. The daylight ride over the
mountains, especially in the time Of verdure,
shows a wonderfully attractive panorama in
which grandeur and beauty are constantly
mingled, and indeed the entire journey be-
tween Was bineton and Chicago proves the
propriety. of calling this road picturesque B.

Marvellous Endurance.
The vast amount of labor performed
by the heart in keeping all portions of
the body supplied with blood is not gen.
orally known. 1t beats 100, 600 times,
and forces the blood at the rate of 1853
miles day, which is 5000, 600, 900 times
and s, 1850, $50 miles in q life time. No
wonder there are so many heart failures.
The first symptoms are shortness of
breath when exercising, pain in the side
or stomach. fluttering, choaking in throat,
oppression, then follow weak, hungry or
