President Cleveland is apparently
moro confident than ever that the
Voorhees, bill can be passed by the
Senate without amendment and
more determined that tho fight
shall be continued until that eud is
reached. but there are good reasons
FOR the belief that he would will
lngly sign a compromise measure il
one can be agreed np6n by the
Democfatic Senators. IL could not
reasonably bo expected under the
circumstances that he would, in
advance of the action Of the Senate,
announce tlfat hs would sign a com
promise bill.

Orr Weekly Letter from the Homo or
"Unclc SAM"

Special Corrospondoscc of tho Argus.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
October III, 1898.
A Democrat who has tho future
welfare and success of his party in
view, regardless of his own personal
opinion on the silver question, can
find little tnat is pleasing III the
controversies that have taken place
this week between Democratic Sen.
ators who occupy opposite positions
on the Voorhees, bill. Tho language
used by Democratic Senators
towards each other was such as
should not bc used upon tho floor
of the Senate, even towards politi-
cal opponents, except under great
provocation, and it certainly did
not improve the chance either OF
passing the Voorhees, bill as is or
for amending it. In fact. about
tho only thing accomplished by
these displays OF temper was to fur
nish the Republicans with bundle
of very stout clubs which they will
not fail to use in tho future upon
Democrats heads. 1t will bc a
dear victory to either side in this
silver controversy il it be won by
disruptlng the democratic party.
thus proving tho oft. reiterated
charge OF tho Republicans that the
Democratic party could not control
itself.

For Mendinr Little Things.

And want large sheet of black court
plaster" said young woman ut Al notion
counter the other day, which," she pro-
ceeded to explain to n friend Mt her side ''is
my chief mending implement. always
mend gloves with court plaster, using black
or the light tints according to the shade of
the glove. turn the glove inside out and
fit the plaster over the rent, first of course
drawing the edges together as surgeon
does torn skin. 1t is much neater than
sewing and lasts longer. Sometimes get
an ugly three cornered rent in II gown My
court plaster case mends the rent leaving
practically no indications of it. l mend

it."-NcW York Press.
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1893-02-01

A life insurance company, whose advice
under the circumstances may he taken us
sincere, tells its clients that the golden rule
in cold weather is to keep the extremities
warm. The first and most important rule
for the carrying out of this idea is never to
be tightly shod. Boots or shoes that fit
closely prevent the free circulation of the
blood by pressure, but when, on the con-
trary, they do not embrace the foot too
firmly, the space left between the shoe and
the stocking has good supply of warm air
The second rule is never to sit in damp
shoes. 1t is often supposed that unless
shoes are positively wet it is unnecessary to
change them while the feet are at rest.
This is IL great fallacy for when the least
dampness is absorbed into the sole in it's
evaporation it absorbs the heat from the
foot and thus pcrspiration is dangerously
checked. This can easily be proved by try
ing the experiment of neglccting the rule
The feet will he found cold and damp after
few minutes, although on taking Off the
shoe and examining it it will appear to be
quite dry.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Tho burning of Rome.

When London burned for three days and
three nights in 1GG0 its population hardly
exceeded 100000, and in regard to thu extent
of the destruction neither that fire nor those
of Hamburg and Chicago can compare with
the conflagration of Rome under Nero at a
time when the capital of the Roman empire
had probably more than 100000 inhubit-
ants. That calamity, by the way, may
after all, have been caused by I'M accident
Professor Emile Reich, in his history of the
ancient civilization, proves that both Nero
and Tiberius were the victims of gross SIAN
ders, not limited to tho exagger,,tion of
their vices nnd the misrepresentation of
their political acts.
The authors of their annals were poll
ticians whose privileges had been curtailed
by the omnpotence of the Caesars and who
avenged themselves by painting the objects
of their resentment in the darkest possible
colors. That Nero, in his mania for music
1iddled during the burning of Rome is
likely enough, but it is hardly credible that
he would have survived even the suspicion
of the alleged monster crimc.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

Cnnvasback Ducks and rerrnpin.

There is II general impression among peo-
pie i'll other states that Baltmoreans eat
canvasback ducks with hominy for break
fast, dinner and supper, and indulge in ter
rapin rs Unexpectedly rs Philadelphians
do in scrapple. AS the gastronomic capital
of the universe, we are supposed to revel in
these luXuries. Perhaps it may surprise
our friends to know that there are thou
sands of people here who do not taste can
vasbacl1 duck or terrapin from one years
end to tho other. Baltimore's wealth has
increased marvclously, but the canvasback
and Brcr Tcrrapin have distanccd it,
In twenty years their value has gone up
ward about 500 per cent. 1t costs from three
to five dollars for II canv;isbacll and from
four to six dollars for count" terrapin-
prices that are somewhat different from the
days when the ducks could be got for one
dollar pair, and the tcrrapin for six dol
lars dozen. We fear that these prizes
will never again come within the circle of
the average mans finances 1t is we'll
known fact that both get their peculiar
flavor from the celery found on the flats of
the Chesapeake bay and it's tributaries
