POSTAL and FREE DELIVERY SERVICE.

A Chicago Man Promises Some Start.
ling Revelations Before the
Congressional Investi-
eating Committee.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The silver pool
investigation was resumed this morning.
Representative George W. Dorsey of Ne
braska, who is also banker, was the first
witness. He testified that he had no
knowledge of any congressman or any
other government officer being interested
in any silver pool or silver speculation.
In response TO Oates, tile witness said he
knew of but one gentleman Of his &C
quaintance who had any interest in silver
speculation. He was Chicago rel es-
tate man.
Superintendents of the postal and free
delivery service in several large cities
have been in conference here and will
recommend to the postmaster general
that all free delivery offices be placed in
classes, based upon revenue and popula-
tion. The conference recommended the
establishment at Detroit, Mich, of q
marine carriers service which will be the
only one IN the world. The purpose is to
deliver mails to vessels passing that point
in transit to the lakes. Small boats will
take the carrier out to intercept the
steamers as 1t is now done by private
enterprises. The conference further fav-
ored the USE of pneumatic tubes in larger
cities connecting the general postottice
with the branches.
The secretary of war today transmitted
to congress report from Col. o. M. Poe,
of the corps of engineers, upon prelim-
mary examination for ship channel in
the shadows of the connecting waters of
the lakes between Chicago, Duluth and
Buffalo, made in accordance with the
river snd harbor act of 1851. The estim-
ate of cost is $2,379,0s5 for twenty-foot
channel and $3,339,567 for &. twenty and
twenty-one foot channel, the latter depth
to be made whenever necessary
in localities subject to heavy
seas. Col. Poe recommends
the greatest depth. This opinion, the re-
port says, is based upon the magnitude Of
commerce. The freight traffic between
Lake Superior and the lower lake ports
for the season just closed slightly exceeds
nine million tons, of which fair proper
tion was to or from Duluth. That be
tween Lake Michigan and lower lake
ports approximates an equal amount, o.
which Chicago had its fair share. The
commerce passing through the channe
between lakes Huron and Erie, the re
port says, doubtless exceeded 100000
tons, though it is not practicable to giv'
the exact figures. Three hundred fee
was assumed as minimum width of tn
channel at any point except the 81. Mary
Falls canals, but in some places of ev
ceptional danger, estimates are baset
upon much greater width.

Words Of Wisdom.

Cheek is often mistaken for cOur-
age.
No man can know any more truth
than he will live.
Selfshness is only another name for
the spirit OF murder.
Truth makes men gentle. Theory
makes them bigoted.
II there wasn't any opposition,
there couldn't be any progress.
The biggest coward you can find
anywhere H. the man who IL afraid to
do right.
The man who never gives away
anything. cheats himself out Of good
deal Of satisfaction.
There isn't much charitable work
done in this world by people who do
not believe in another.
1t is hard for the man who has just
eaten good dinner TO realize that
anybody else can be hungry.
II experience teaches anything, it
teaches that no man can live for h!m-
self, and dohimself any good by doing
it.
one of the easiest things for some
people 10 do, is To persuade them
selves that it isn't their duty TO do
anything.

A WOMAN'S WEAPON.

What is a woman's weapon" .
Ia.ked Of a charming girl.
She dropped her lashes shyly,
And stroked a vagrant curl.
Then consciously she murmured,
This rosebud newly out:
Il have a strong suspicion
Her weapon is a pout."
What is a woman's S weapon
asked OF Farmer straw.
He looked at me in wonder,
Then sadly muttered: Law,
Don't mention 1t 10 Nancy"
And down his head he hung;
'But am OF the 'pinion
Her weapon is her tongue"
What is a woman's weapon .
asked matron tall.
She pointed TO broomstick,
That graced the Kitchen wall.
There stands a woman's weapon =
She cried in tones of ire,
And swiftly | retreated
Before that hint so dire.
What is a woman weapon
asked a lover true.
He turned him to a maiden,
With eyes OF heavenly blue:
Her velvet lips were parted,
All innocent of guile;
And eagerly he answered:
Her weapon is a smile
What is woman's weapon!
asked r poet then.
With sudden inspiration
He seized upon his pen.
ooh could name a thousand
lie cried in accents clear;
"But woman's surest weapon,
grant you, ID a tear"

Spring
Medicine

The popularity which Hoods Sarsaparilh
has attained as Spring Medicine is simply
wonderful. 1t Is recognized everywhere as
the leading preparation for this season, and
no other article in the market begins to reach
the sale which this medicine has gained. Any
druggist will confirm this statement. Hoods
Sarsaparilla has reached this position OF the
peoples favorlte spring medicine, because It
does all that Is claimed for it. 1t contains
those properties which are known to medical
science as powerful in removing poisonous
impurities from the blood, and by their tonic
effect to restore waste tissues and drive away
weakness and debility.
"I am having good trade on Hoods Sar-
saparilla now, and those who use it think it
the best blood and tonic remedy on the
market.n J. T, HITE, Owensboro, Ky.
