Quick Work by Reporters.

The greatest feat of reporting that has
ever been performed by the official re-
porters of congress was that of preparing
the senate report for The Record Wed

porter was sick, and but two men were
available to do the work. The senate
was in session for fourteen hours, all OF
WHICH time was spent in an active dis
cussion of the silver bill. It was after
10 o'clock at night when they adjourned
and during the session they had talked
over 1901 900 words. Two stenographers
took the report, and, by debating theil
notes into monographs for typewriters
to transcribe, they had all the copy ready
for the printers by s o'clock in the morn

Curing Cold.

To get rid Of cold send to the drug
gist for a mixture containing sulphate of
atropia one 240th of a grain; bi-sulphate
of quinine two grains, and Fowler's solu-
ton, five drops, to each dose. Take a
dose once in two hours for three or four
times, or until the throat begins to feel
slightly dry. If this does not entirely
relieve the symptoms, repeat the treat
ment the next day. Copy this prescrip-
ton carefully, and use it with care, as
some of the ingredients are poisonous
There is no danger in using it if the di-
rections are followed exactly.
Before going to bed take warm bath
The next morning sponge the body rap
idly with tepid water, rubbing it hard
until the blood circulates quickly and
the skin is in glow. Take more exer-
else than usual, and do not sit in a hot
room with the windows shut Mix a
teaspoonful of cream of tartar in q tum-
blerful of water and drink it during the
day. If there is constipation take a
gentle laxative, as a rhubarb pill. 1t is
very important that all the avenues of
the body for carrying off waste matter
should be wide open.-Ladies' Home

Some Experiments in Hypnotism.

AS result of the revived interest in
hypnotism caused by the Eyraud- Bonn
pard trial in Paris some experiments in
hypnotism were made at the Hotel
Kaiserhoff, Berlin. Monday, when some
startling results were produced. One
subject in a hypnotic condition showed
that it is not always possible to suggest
to hypnotized person to perform acts
which are absolutely contrary to that
persons natural inclinations. The sub
ject in question was a sportsman, who
was successfully made to believe that he
was present at horse race at which he
had backed the winning horse, but wher
it was suggested to him that he should
divide his winnings he awoke with &
start. Pail Mall Budget.

Prendergast Charged With Both
Assault and Embezzlement.
BEAT HIS WFE'S DRESSMAkER.
The Man Accused of Stealing Labor Day
Funds Has Disappeared-A Rowdy's
Rampage Interrupted.

J. Prendergast, the member of the
White Cooks and Walters Union who is
undergoing investigation bv the Western
Central Labor Union on a charge of mis-
appropriating money taken in at the
booths at the Labor day picnic, is in still
further trouble. Yesterday Octave Cen
tile. Frenchman living at the Central
house, at the corner of Front and Virginia
streets, had a warrant sworn out for Prem
dergast's arrest for assault with a deadly
weapon. The opinion prevailing among
those who have noticed Prendergast's
movements is that he has been gettin,
ready to take sudden departure for parts
unknown.
Gentile's wife is a dressmaker and has
been at work on a dress for Mrs. Prender
CAST. On Saturday night Prendergast
called at the Central house and wanted to
take away the garment without paying for
1t. The dressmaker refused to let him
take it and a dispute followed, which
ended in Prendergast striking the woman
on the head with the butt-end of q revol-
yer and choking her husband nearly into
state of insensibility. He then made off
and has not been seen since.
Gentle came to police headquarters yes
terday afternoon and entered complaint
A warrant was issued for Prendergast's
arrest, and the police officers are on the
lookout for him. 1t is thought he is still
