always referred to him as Colonel Lamar and seldom as senator or judge. III health compelling his retirement from actual serv- ice in the field, MT. Lamar was sent as a Confederate commissioner to Russia. His mission, as history relates, failed of it's pur- pose.
 When the war closed he went back to the University of Mississippi, where he be- came professor of political economy and social science in 1S66 and was given the chair of law a year later. He then once more resumed his practice at the bar, which he continued until he was elected to congress in 1872. He was reelected in 1874 and in 1876 was chosen by the legislature as one of the representatives of his adopted state in the United States senate. He re- mained in the senate until March 4, 1885, when he accepted the portfolio of secretary of the interior rendered him by President Cleveland.
 On Dec. 6, 1887, MT. Cleveland sent to the senate the name of l.. c. C. Lamar to be associate justice of the United States su- preme court, vice Justice Woods, deceased. After some delay the nomination was con firmed, and in the latter part of January, 1888, he entered upon the discharge of his neN duties

PecuIiarities of Nervous Women.

Says physician who is specialist in nervous diseases: ''The vagaries of nerv- ous women would fill volume. have, however, a profound respect for their sincerity and a deep sympathy with their victims. One of my patients, a fine looking woman, with a splendid physique, is reduced to condition bor- dering on insanity by high wind If she is out in it her misery is heightened. She says she has dazed, confused feel ing that amounts to bewilderment, and she feels as if any moment she would lose her hold on reason and sense.
 Another of my patients cannot endure to hear toast crunched between the teeth of another person. She can eat it her self, but has to leave the table if another does, so great is her distress. In other respects she is woman of strong char acter. It would be interesting to trace the origin of such apparently causeless conditions. ."-New York Times.

Tank Cars Explode.

ALTON, Ills, Jan. 23.-The southwestern limited ran through an open switch into a freight train standing on the siding, and Engineer Webb Ross of the limited was instantly killed.
 The wreck took fire, and while a great crowd was watching the spectacle an oil tank car exploded with terrific force, en- veloping the spectators in a sheet of burn ing oil. Fifteen are dead and as many more cannot recover from their frightful injuries.
 Of the fatally injured all are more or less seriously burned about the limbs and body, but the worst injuries sustained are fearfully burned heads and faces. All are also injured internally from inhaling the burning flames, that scorched and parched their throats to such an extent that their escape from instant death is almost miraculous

Sleeping Her Life Away.

The German village of Grambke is greatly excited over a case of persistent somnolency in the person of the daugh- ter of one of the town officials. The girl, pretty, slender child of some thirteen years of age, has been in continual sleep since the second week in May, and even now does not show the least trace of arousing from her protracted slum- Der. During the first week of her en- forced sleep the family seemed grieved to the verge of distraction and all was mourning in the house where the child lay in the embrace of deaths twin brother"
 After awhile, however, when it was noticed that she would swallow liquid nourishment, their fears for her safety seemed to abate to a certain degree, and now, after a lapse of more than half a year, the family go about their daily 1abors as if the little maid were really dead and half forgotten. Highest medi- cal authorities have been consulted, but all efforts to keep her awake have re- suited In total fsilures.-St. Louis Re pub11n.

MT. Carnegie Returns Home.

NEW YORK Jan. 24.-Among the passen- gers of the North German Lloyd steamship Kaiser Wilhelm I, which arrived yesterday from Genoa, were Andrew Carnegie, his wife and Miss Whiteield, Mrs. Carnegie's sister, who had been abroad for some time. MT. Carnegie and his party were the first to leave directly that the ship was made fast in her slip, and entering coach they were driven rapidly away. At Mir. Carne- gie's house at West Fifty-first street Henry Clay Prick met his chief, and for several hours the two. were closeted to- gether. To all requests for an interview MT. Carnegie sent word that he had noth- ing to say for publication.
 Before MT. Prick left Homestead he was reported to have said that everything at the scene of the recent strike was just as he wanted it, and that it would remain so unless MT. Carnegie should put his foot in it" when he arrived home.
 James B. Scott of Pittsburg called later in the day. At the time of the Homestead strike Mir. Carnegie was said to have de- cided to withdraw the offer he had made to donate public library for the city of Pittsburg and Mir. Scott is here to make an effort to have the offer remain good.

THE NEWS OF CONGRESS.
Condensed Report of the Business in Sen
 ate and House.

ate ana Itnuse.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-The backward state of the annual appropriation bills has impressed itself upon con ;ge,s. Tine senate is chargeable with the greater delay in this respect. Not one of the bills has yet passed that body, although the house has sent over three which are ready for action. 1t is the general expectation that the anti option bill will come to final vote before the middle of this week and that the ap- propriations committee will probably take the lead. There may be a suspension of the order in this respect long enough to allow debate and action upon the Cherokee out let bill, some of the interstate commerce bills and one or two other measures which the committee on order of business may de- eide to call up.
 Party feeling will probably manifest it. week in connection with the McComas nomination, which is the unfinished busi- ness when the senate closes its doors.
 The silver repeal bill is the unknown quantity in all calculations as to the busi- ness of the senate, and it may become the live issue at any time upon motion of a senator to proceed to its consideration, but at this time no such purpose is openly ex- pressed.
 The probabilities are that the house dur ing the coming week will also occupy itself largely with the delayed appropriation bills, and will make an effort to catch up with the record of previous short sessions of congress on these supply bills.

JUSTICE LAMAR DEAD
THE DISTINGUISHED SoUTHERNER
 DIES AT MACON.

After Serving In the Confederate Army He
 Was Elected to Both Houses of Con-
 gress, Made a Member of MT. CIeveIand's
 Cabinet and by Him Appointed Justice.
 MACON, Jan. A.-Justice Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar died here at $50 o'clock last evening. The death was sudden in the extreme, for although he has been ail- ing for some time, Justice Lamar appeared to be gradually gaining in health.
 With the passing away of Associate Jus tice of the United States Supreme Court Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar con- temporaneous political history loses one of Its most unique figures.
 MT. Lamar was noted in Washington, where the best years of his life were spent, for his absentmindedness and eccentrici- ties, no less than for his genial nature and charming manners. Every trait of his character was inherited. His father, for whom the dead associate justice was named. had his unusual cognomen select ed for him by an eccentric brother of his mother, who insisted upon naming her children after his favorite historical heroes.
 His Early Life.
 Like Justice Lamar's personality, his public career was remarkable. He comes of one of the oldest families in Georgia. He was born in Putnam county in 1895, and after his fathers death was taken to OK ford, Miss, where his education may be said to have begun. After acquiring all that was to be learned in the Oxford schools young Lamar was sent to Emory college in Georgia. He graduated in lS45, at once commenced the study of law in Macon, and was admitted to the bar two years later
 The citizens of Mississippi were unwill- ing to permit their brilliant young advo- cate to waste his ability on a plantation, and in 1856 he was elected to congress as a Democrat. He served from 1857 to 1860. Things had reached such pass then that every public officer had to decide between the Union and the confederacy. MT. Lamar therefore resigned his seat in congress to become a member of the Mississippi seces- sion convention, in which body he played an important part
 When hostilities began, MT. Lamar &C., cepted commission as lieutenant colonel of the Nineteenth Mississippi regiment. He was afterward promoted to the colo nelcy, and up to the day of his death the people of his home town, Oxford, almost

A Nice Way of Making Tea.

To those who get sleeplessness from tea let me recommend n most delicate way of malsingit. Fill perforated silver ball with dry tea and swing 1t through a cup of boiling water. The ball can re- main long enough in the water to pro- duce most delicious infusion, but there will be none or very little of the tannin, that astringent element of tea which is SO injurious. Recent scientific inquiries into the qualities of the peculiar power of tea, which has tended to raise it so high in popular esteem, claim for it n calm, placid, benignant exhilaration. greatly stimulating the stomach, but if 1t Is al- lowed to steep long 1t becomes poison. ---Harper's Dazar.
