Bureau OF Engraving Kept Busy by the
Increase of Circulation.
The Treasury Department Friday sought
TO impress Congress by Paying the entire
Government contingent in Washington in
gold coin. Such thing had never been
heard of and was entirely unexpected, and
led to such disturbance in the methods OF
distributing that most OF the discussing
officers were paralyzed. Many members of
Congress refused TO take their months
pay in gold. Most of the employees
of the House and Senate begged for
credit rather than coin, and
for the first time in the history OF the
country gold which sold thirty years ago
for 2s5 per cent premium. absolutely went
begging at1ess than par. The effect was
to convince the Treasury officials that
some other action must be had to satisfy
the pay rolls. By hook or crook, or by ex-
ira hours down at the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing, new supply OF paper
money was furnished. The disbursements
were all in crisp new paper, without crease
or fold, the ink undried, the paper damp,
and the signatures of the certifying OFF,

illegible. The printing presses in the en-

Cant. Eiermann Safe.

Capt. Eermann, who made an ascension
from Milwaukee in a. balloon Sunday, ar
rived at St Ignace, Mich on the schooner
Ellen Williams Wednesday. Eiermann
was picked up by the Williams sun
day night as near as the Captain
could locate the spot about twenty
five miles northeast OF Milwaukee.
The balloon at that time was driving along
on the top of the waves, with the car every
once in while catching in the heavy sea
that was running. The schooners course
was shifted and chase given. For time
the latter kept away, but each time
the basket caught in the waves
the balloon would be brought up stand
ing for q minute and then the
schooner would gain. In this way the
chase continued for nearly half hour,
when Eiermann was pulled on board more
dead than alive. In the excitement OF
rescuing Hermann the crew of the Will
Jams did not notice what became OF the
balloon, which is supposed to have become
disentangled from the car and floated Off
down the lake.

RODE TO SURE DEATH.
Cincinnati Electric Street Car Dashes Down
Hill Into a Saloon.

At Cincinnati an electric car dashed
down hill at frightful speed. left the
track. broke a telegraph pole and shot into
saloon, wrecking both itself and the
structure it struck. AS result of the COL
lision two people are dead, six are In
jured beyond recovery, and nearly forty
more are hurt, many OF them dangerously
There were forty five people in the car.
and not one of them escaped injury.
The motorman and conductor jumped
just before the car struck the pole and
thus escaped a horrible death. The car
was smashed into splinters as was the
front OF the saloon and the har, and from
the debris at once arose agonizing cries
and means that at once told those within
that a terrible accident had occurred.
Six patrol wagons we're upon the scene
within few minutes and the dead and
dying were quickly transferred to the City
Hospital, where the entire medical staff
was soon busily engaged in rendering such
assistance as was in their power.

penditures continue to exceed the receipts
the treasury balance, which, on Sept ], In
Guiding the gold reserve was S107 600,
has declined to sos, $780, 900. A pointed
reduction is noted In customs receipts,
which during this month foot up $780,

In round figures the expenditures OF the

Tho Winter Complexion.

The first step toward meeting the changed
requirements of the season is the purchase
of some benzoin and rose water and cold
cream. Lemons should have their place on
the dressing table as well as in the pantry.
Every night after the candidate for charm
ing complexion has taken her hot bath and
washed her face in hot water and with very
pure soap she should rub on little clear
lemon juice. AS lemon juice not only
whitens but also dries the skin, cold cream
should be gently and thoroughly rubbed in
when the face is dry. In the morning the
face should be first washed in hot water
and then rinsed in basin full of cold wa
ter in which little Of the benzoin has been
dropped.
The face should not be merely lightly
touched with towel after it is washed
but rubbed hard until it is quite dry. With
out soap and plenty of hard rubbing the
oily matter which exudes from the pores
dries on the surface and combines with
dust and dirt to make blackheads, prevents
the passage of more waste matter through
the skin and thus causes pimples and sim
liar denominations.
OF course the young woman who wants
dazzling skin will not forget to eat plenty
of fruit, green salad and whole grained
bread and to eschew rich foods and pastry
She will also be out of doors as much a
possible, but instead Of courting the sum-
rays as she did all summer she will screeI
herself from them by wearing q fine veil
However, she will not indulge in the ''styl
ish" dotted monstrosities dear to the ocu
list. All sorts of exercises that will sent
the blood dancing through her veins sh
will indulge in. Turkish baths will pla.
their part in the making Of her charming
appearance, and an occasional facial mas
sage will help OH the good work.-St. Loui

Killing q Fashion.

At the garrison town of Maria -Theresia-
nopel in Hungary the ladies have been get
ting into the habit of taking with them to
the theater plush bags of various sizes and
colors, in which they kept all their para
phernalia, such as opera glasses, sweets,
handkerchefs, smelling bottles, etc. The
sight of row of these receptacles dangling
over the ledge of the dress circle and boxes
was, to say the least, peculiar, while the
incessant manipulation of these ornamental
appendages by their fair owners had the
effect of diverting the attention of the au-
dience from the proceedings on the stage.
To make matters worse the fashion
caught on" among the lower classes, and
Biddy, strolling in the park at the side of
her faithful trooper, was sure to have a
plush bag swinging in her hand.
The said fashion is now dead.
It came to pass in this WISE Last week,
and for several nights in succession, the Of
ficers of the hussars quartered at M
bought up all the front seats in the boxes
and dress circle and turned up at the per-
formance carrying on their arms an ordi-
nary forage bag somewhat less than the
usual size, which they slung over the ledge
in imitation of the ladies. The joke created
no little amusement, and roars of laughter
shook the house when the officers produced
from their bags opera glasses, monocles,
sweets, handkerchiefs and here and there a
tobacco pouch or snuffbox. Since then
the plush bags have disappeared from the

A Blackburn Story.

A little story of Senator Black kburn's own
telling is floating around in exclusive cir.
cles There is to be seen in several plate
glass windows rather fine but high col
ored chrome, containing race course scene,
with Secretary Carlisle. Proctor Knott and
Senator Blackburn in a club foreground,
the whole affair being an exploitation Of the
product of well known Blue Grass distil-
lery.
One day Senator Blackburn was met at
home by his wife and daughters, who, with
faces of suppressed merriment, told him
that very fine picture which would please
him had just come by express and was in
the hall. He went and looked and, lol the
chrome. A case of the goods came along
in it's company. A chorus of feminine ve-
toes went up when he took revenge by say
ing that it was good and he would have it
hung up in the library. The next day a
letter came from the distiNer, saying that
Mr.. Carlisle and Proctor Knott had given
their consent to the use of their portraits,
and that he had taken the liberty of using
Senator Black burns without consulting
him, believing that he would not object
The senator made the following reply:
DEAR SIR-You have taken great liberty in
using my portrait in your chrome without first
asking my consent, but | forgive you, since il
is the best portrait of me that have ever seen
But allow me to call your attention to a Sc
rious anomaly in the composition of the worl
of art. You have put me on q Kentucky race
horse, with my back to driving finish and my
hand on a bottle of the worst whisky that wa
ever distilled. Yours truly,
