INV lOOUhE A COLD.-One OF our
citizens who has been troubled with a
severe cold on the lungs, effected his
recovery in the following simple maa
ner:-He boiled little boneset and
hoarhound together, and drank freely
OF the tea before going to bed. The
next day he took five pills, put one kind
OF plaster on his breast, another under
his arms, and still another on his back.
Under advice from an experienced old
lady ne took all these off with an oyster
knife 10 the afternoon, and slapped on
mustard paste instead His mother
put some onion drafts on his feet and
gave him lump Of tar to swallow.
Then he put some hot bricks to his
feet, and went to bed. Next morning
another old lady came in with a bottle
OF goose oil, and gave him dose Of it
in quill, and an aunt arrived about
the same time from Bethel, with
bundle Of sweet fern which she made
into tea. and gave him every half
hour until noon, when he took a big
dose Of salts. After dinner his wife,
who had seen fine old lady of great
experience in doctoring on Franklin
street gave Linn two pills OF her make,
about the size Of an English walnut,
and Of similar shape, and two table
spoonfuls Of home made balsam to keep
them down. Then he took half.piut
OF hot rum at the suggestion of an old
sea captain in the next house, and
steamed his legs 10 an alcohol bath. AT
this Crisis two OF the ncighbors arrived
who saw at once that bis blood was out
ct order, and gave him half gallon Of
spearmint tea, and big dose of castor
oil Before going to bed he took eight
of new kind ofpill, wrapped about his
neck flannel soaked in hot vinegar and
salt, and had feathers burnt on shovel
in bis room. He is now thoroughly
cured, and full Of gratitude. We advise
our readers to cut this out and keep it

can enjoy one another's society without
anticipation of coming duties, is too
often neglected by the housewife, who
does not realize its importance. There
should always be one warm dish, which
need not be elaborate or expensive.

Getting Rid of the Surplus.

Senator Carlisle has contributed to
the Forum for February an article on
"The Vanishing Surplus" in which be
shows how what was two years ago
the richest public treasury in the world
will be substantially bankrupt long be-
fore the term Of the present Admins
tration shall expire:7'
At the beginning of tho fiscal year,
July l, 1889, the cash balance in the
Treasury was sl49.0o0,000 at the end
Of the year, June 80. 1890, it had al
ready decreased to Sill 100000. Six
months only of the present year has
reduced the available cash balance from
$lll,000.000 to only s38 ,000, 900.
For this svmc fiscal year ending June
30, 1891, the Secretary Of the Treas
ufy estimates an expenditure of 1884,
100000, showing an increase Of
$57, 100000. or over million week
over 1890; but Senator Carlisle claims
that this estimate is far too low, for on
account Of recent legislation at least
SIS 100000 must be added to the
Secretary's estimate for pensions, and
$l0,O00000 for general ,fciencies.
The total ordinary expenditures wi be,
he thinks, 1919 100000, Of which.
$i4e,OO0.O 900 will he for pensions. The
original amount estimated for pensions
for this year was only 500 ,000, 900.
Making careful estimate of what the
customs and other revenues of the
Government will be under the new tax
laws, Mr.. Carlisle makes out the follow.

More About the Alleged Mistake

Special to THE MoRNINa CALL

WASHINGTON, Feb. S-Commissioner of
internal Revenue Mason received letter
To-day from Professor Hilgard, the chemist

Ing the mistake the professor claims to have
discovered in the department tables relating
10 the fortifcation of sweet wines. The let
ter gives more fully the information relating
10 the mistakes he claims has occurred in
compoundlng the weight and volume in
giving the per cent of alcohol to be used in
Iortiiylng wines. 1t is understood the let
ter contained the chemistry formula on the
SUBJECT, which has caused ripple in the
Chemical Department. Mason, on being
asked If he had directed further inyestiga-
tlon by the department, said he had, and in
dicated that he was not altogether satisfied.
de added that he had the utmost confidence
IN hlchards, his chemist, but any one with
SO much work to do was likely to make
mistake and no one should hesitate TO admit

he had directed Richards and his assistants
10 go over the whole matter thoroughly, and
they went to work soon after the California
letter arrived to-day. 1t is understood that
Commissioner Mason has submitted the
matter to competent outside chemists for an
investigation, desiring to investigate the
matter thoroughly. and fearing that the de-
partment chemists would not be as likely to
discover their own mistake as some one em-

would involve their own reputation. The
Commissioner was much more interested
about the matter to-day than he was some

VANDEVER'S THREAT.
4 Disagreement Over the California Public
Building Bills.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-General Van-
deyer is very much ''rattled" over the out
look for the Government building appropri-
ations for California. He insists that the
other members of the California delegation
have been scheming during the last few
days in the interest of $1,000 900 appropria-
tlon for San Francisco, and leaving him out.
lie says they have come to the conclusion
that two bills for California will scarcely be
recognized by the Speaker in the six DAYS
for the suspension of the rules prior to ad-
journment. Hence he oneluded that in
looking after matters of self interest they
are working against his Los Angeles bill.
He thinks by united action there is a good
chance for both of the bills, but he insists
that as he introduced his bill first, he should
have an even chance. He saws he will
fight the San Francisc 90 bill on the floor of
the House before he will allow any combi-
nation to force him and the big Republican
majority of Southern California to the wall
Clunie to-day reported from the Buildings
Committee substitute for Stanford's bill
which passed the Senate last week, appro-
prlating an additional $4,000, making ST.

out the amount named and inserts in lieu
thereof 81, 100000, making the total amount

DOORS CLOSED.
Failure Of The American Loan and Trust
Company Of New York.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-The American Loan
and Trust Company has closed its doors.
The immediate cause Of the failure was
demand for large amount Of money. made
by savings bank of this city, which the
Trust Company could not meet.
Three savings banks, one in Syracuse,
one in Rochester and another outside bank
demanded the payments of deposits amount
ing to 100000. The institution could not
pay, and at the request of one of the saw
ings banks the Superintendent took posses
sion. Later he sent for Bank Examiner
Cahill, who is now in charge.
This evening Bank Examiner Preston
said: "The closing of the bank was brought
about by unexpected demands by certain
savings banks. The amount which it was
asked to pay was between 100000 and
S300.000. The company had not this amount
and while the officers were discussing what
had better be done L came here, ascertained
the facts and took possession. When the
business was figured up last Friday the
assets were 81, 168,03S. The amount
loaned on collaterals was S2,l32, 450.
The value of collaterals as figured
out, S1,5l3,637. The liabilities amount to
S2,524 S27, and the apparent deficiency is
$3.50, 1s9. Since the suspension to-day"
said Mr.. Preston, Il have been waited upon
by Influential men, and have reason to be-
lieve it is possible that certain securities,
which estimated at low hgure, may be
paid in full. If this is done the deficiency
will be reduced 10 $475,000. l believe the
remainder will then be made good by the
stockholders, and the Institution may be
placed on its feet. l am confident the de-
positors will be paid in full"
The Acknowledgement Instituted proceed
ings to-day for the appointment of a re-
ceIyer. The indications of to- o-morrow will
decide whether the suit will be pressed.

BARON DE HIRsCH.
The Great Philanthropist Gives an Outline of
His Plans

The Great Philanthropist Gives an Outline of
His Plans.
g. NEW YORK, Feb. I9-The Herald has the
following special from Monte Carlo: had
the pleasure Of being received by Baron de
Hirseh al The Villa CarlOtta, Monte Carlo,
yesterday. when he kindly gave me
the following interesting particulars re-
speeting his numerous munifcent gifts
to the poor. Baron de Hirschs whole
affections were ceutered in his only child.
Baron Lucien de Hirsch, who died some
few years ago after short Illness. This
cruel af1iiction caused him TO retire from all
active business. Being possessed of enor-
. nous wealth and having no direct heir, he,
after mature consultation, decided to en-
ploy or devote portion OF his fortune in
allevlatiug the suffeTingS OF his fellowmen.
Hirseh is a man of large and liberal
ideas on religious matters, many members
of his family being Christians. Further
more, his adoption of two English children,
who are being brought up in the Christian
religion, Is sufficient proof that his un-
equaied llberalhy is not limited TO his own
people. For several years past he has seri-
ously occupied himself with the miserable
condition Of the poor Jews in Russia, and
he determined to take all possible steps to
come TO their assistance.
Besides establishing a fund to help Rus
sian Jews to emigrate to the United States,
lie sent commission, composed of three
competent men-an English officer of engi-
neerS, Belgian and German-to the
Argentine Republic for the purpose of re-
porting on the agricultural prospects of that
country. Their report being favorable a
further important sum will be provided by
the Baron to enable Russian Jews
TO emigrate To that country and for tho pur-
chase Of land there for their benefit. The
Baron has just given 1900, 900 francs for

HEAVY LOSSES.
Immense Amount Of Property
Destroyed by the Flood.
Thousands Of People. Driven From Their
HOm3S By High Water.
Factories and Business Blocks Inundated.
Railroad Tracks Submerged and Com
muniCatlOn Interrupted.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

PITTsBURG, Feb. 1S.-This afternoon the
Allegheny River reached thirty-two feet
eleven inches. but since then the water has
been slowly receding. With nearly every
iron-mill flooded and closed down, railroad
tracks washed away, whole squares of
streets flooded to the second story and
thousands of cellars filled, the direct loss by
the food cannot fall below S1,OOO,O0O.
The poor people living along the river
have suffered so greatly that appeals for aid
have been issued. Building insi siectors say
the flooded districts have suffered great in
jury in the way OF damaged foundations
Tonight the river has fallen several feet
The damage to the railroads is being rapidly
repaired.
Reports from all up-river points show the
water is rapidly declining and people are
returning to their homes to repair damages,
which in most cases are far greater than
expected.
At Johnstown the loss is great, the
foundations of many houses having been
undermined. Street-cars are running again,
and the mills will open tomorrow. The
destruction of bridges was serious loss, as
different sections of the city will have no
communication by wagon for some time.
The farming communities below are heavy
losers.
A dispatch from Wheeling, W. Va, says
the river is still rising tonight, but it is re-
ported from above to have been falling
The damage to Wheeling is great. The
whole of Wheeling is an island, the Seventh
Ward is flooded and tonight most of its
1000 inhabitants are sleepns in another part
of the city.
In South Wheeling hundreds of working
mems houses and several factories are in
undated and in the business center many
wholesale houses are flooded. Business is
almost entirely suspended. No trains are
arriving or departing. The depots are under
water and the railroad yards blockaded.
The two principal hotels have water on
the first floor, and the guests are obliged to
go in and out of the windows. Reports
from the glass and pottery districts also
show heavy losses. No loss OF life how
ever, has yet been reported.
CATLETSBURG (ky.), Feb. 1S.-The Big
Sandy and Ohio rivers have risen rapidly
and are doing much damage in the lower
part of the town. Part of Front street was
washed out this morning and many people
along the river are abandoning their houses.
