[From our regular Correspondent
Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON. d. c., May 5, ls9'

WASHINGTON. d. c., May 8, 1890.
Senator FRYE has reported from the
Senate committee on Commerce two bills
IN which the President is known to be very
much interested; one of them provides for
the payment of bounty of 80 cents ton
for every thousand miles sailed by Ameri-
can built and owned vessels of more than
500 tons burthen, and the other provides
for the formation of an American built
and owned ocean service by authorizing
for carrying ocean mails with four classes
of vessels at from 81 to S6 a mile, accord
ing to class, for the outward voyage. Mr..
Frye stated when making his report that
If these bills become laws he had reason
to know that within three years a line of
the best ships in the world would be put on
between New York and Liverpool, and
that another line would he running be
tween New York and South America in
less than two years, and these would be
but the beginning. These bills have been
indorsed by boards of trade and chambers
of commerce all over the country and also
by the National Grange and the Farmers
Alliance, but that did not prevent two
democratic members of the Committee
Senators Coke and Vest-stating that they
did not agree to the report of the com
mittee The idea IL too progressive for
democrats.
The Idea Of anargument between the SEN
ate and the House republican caucuscs on a
silver bill has practically been abandoned.

A PRESCRIPTION FOR LONGEVITY
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes Gives q Snr

DIR. Oliver Wendell Holmes Gives q SUR
Ono, Warranted to Fulfil Its Mission.
One of my prescriptions for Longevity
may startle you somewhat, says Ollvel
Wendell Holmes in the July Atlantic. l
is this:-Become the subject of q mOrta
disease. Let half a dozen doctors thuml
Won and knead yOu, and test you in every
possible way, and render their verdict tina,
you have an internal complaint. The!
don't know exactly what it is, but it viii
certainly kill YOU by and by. Then bid
farewell to the world and shut yourself
up for an invalid. If you are threescore
years old when you begin this mode of life
you may very probably last twenty years,
and then o are-an octogenarian. In
the meantime your friends outside have
been dropping of, n after another, until
you find yourself almost alone, nursing
your mortal complaint as it it were yo-'
baby, hugging it, and kept alive by Tiff
to exist is to live.
Who has not seen cases like this-a man

in that way, confined to their chambers,

small mou of vital expenditure and
wear out very little of their living sub

tinue to burn when other lamps have used
up all their oil. An insurance office
might make money by taking no risks ex-

You are a nice sort of a fellow, Mr..
Family Rum Seller Norton, to open
your mouth to respectable citizens
who visit the Board of Aldermen to
protest against the spread of the
saloon curse in our community. You
should crawl under your desk and
hide your head in shame rather when
such protests are uttered in your
hearing. Think of the desolation
your family rum works daily among
the poor people among whom you
maintain your two saloons. Think
of the broken hearted husbands, the
debauched wives, the polluted chill
dren who are the products OF your
ramily rum. Think of the neglected
homes, the filthy tenements, the rag
ged and reeking garments of the I'M
fortunates who drink it. Think of
their ill-nurtured bodies and their de-
graded souls. Think of the brutal
lied men, the unsexed women, the
miserable children.
OF all the accursed forms that the
rum-fiend takes, there is none com-
parable for abomination with this
horrible demon of family rum. Let
it's high priests and ministers hang
their heads in the presence of decent
humanity.

s~oudanese women.

The S%oudanese women are a curl
osity. Even here on their natural
soil they seem almost to have stepped
off the stage of a theatre, SO unusual
and overdrawn are their costumes.
Their hair is braided up into hundreds
of little plaits, small as to be mere
strings. These braids have been
soaked in castor oil and rubbed with
dust until in places they are per-
fectly solid. In the middle of the
forehead dangle short strings of beads
holding a fancy gold pendant, and in
the nostrils a large ring. Around
the neck are strings of onyx beads, as
we'll as long strings of polished peb-
bles and amber i~nterspersed with gay
beads. OF bracelets there are several
of coarse dark horn upon one arm;
upon the other the massive silver
work peculiar to the Soudan. They
wear wrapped around them a black
shawl and their feet are decorated
with anklets.

Mayor is q shrewd hair-splitter in
legal matters, audit would be an afRront
to the intelligence everybody gives
him credit for, to believe that he did
not know he was misappropriating
public moneys when he affixed his
signature of approval to the resolu-
ton voting him this unlawful dona-
ton.
The incident serves another pur-
pose of illustration than that merely
of personal greed on the part of the
city's unelected head. 1t affords a
clue to the methods by which the
moneys OF tax payers are being secret
ly distracted from the public treas
ury. The cue given by the Chief is
being followed by all of his satraps;
and schemes of public plumber by
which they are enriching themselves
are so concealed beneath forms of law
that it is difficult to unmask them.
1t Is the most dangerous system of
public robbery that can be devised
because of the difficulty of locating
the particular cover under which the
little joker hides himself on his way
to the treasury vaults for the plumber,
and on his way back to the schemers
with their share of it.

Women Do Not help Each other.

support of a widowed mother and
three little brothers has depended for
the past ten years: II never have had

woman. Not to do / owe a parti-
Gle of my success. ANY help ! ever
got came from men; they gave me let
tiers of introduction to other men;
they signed the lease for my house;
they assisted me in getting rebates,
commissions and discounts on invest

helped me to find a market for my
wares when | got established, and to
them as a class / owe everything that
