AN EXTRA SESSION.

President Cleveland has yielded to
the demand Of the people of the coun-
try, and yesterday evening called the
Fifty-third Congress in extraordinary
session, on the eth day of August, one
month earlier than he had otherwise
intended. Then, after sending out the
proclamation, he boarded a railroad
train at four o'clock, and left for Buzz
yards Bay to join Mrs. Cleveland. The
determination to call the extra session
the first week in August instead OF the
first week in September was only def
nitely arrived at yesterday mornings
cabinet session.
In the call Mr.. Cleveland says:
"Whereas, The distrust aud appre-
hension concerning the financial sltua-
ton which Lervade all business cirl :,
have already caused great loss and dam
age to our people, and threaten to Clip,
pie our merchants, stop the wheels OF
manufacture, bring distrust and priva'
ton to our farmers, and withhold from
our workingmen the wage of labor:
Aud, whereas, the present perllous
condition is largely the result of tinan-
cial policywhich the executive branch OF
the government finds embodied in I'M
wise laws, which must be executed I'M
til repealed by Congress;
Now, therefore, /. Grover Cleveland,
President ofthe United States, in per-
formancc of a constitutional duty, do
bv this proclamation declare that an
extraordinary occasion requires the
converting of both houses of Congress
OF the United States in the Capitol, in
the city of Washington, on the seventh
dav of August next, at twelve O'Clock
noon, to the end hat the people be re-
lieved through legislation from pres
ent and impending danger and distress.
| All those entitled to act as members OF
the Fiiyy-third Congress are required
to take notice of this proclamation, and
attend at the time and place above
stated"
The Presidents action in calling the
session to meet in August may be I'M
derstood that he now believes the Sher-
man silver law a be repealed at any
time. Senator Voorhees,, of Indiana.
chairman of the Senate france commit.
tee, is in favor of the immediate repeal
of the silver purchase law. Democrat,
ic Congressman in Washington general,
ally commend the action'of the Piesl-
dent in calling an extra session of Con-
gress to repeal the law.
The President will be absent from
the city three weeks or more, his
stay depending upon circumstances.

THE CITY GOVERNMENT elected last

boped and believed that while under it
every available means will be adopted
by which the Improvement of the city
MAY be promoted. that object may be
effected on the most economical terms,
so that the tax rate may be reduced, as
nothing can be more conducive to a
citv,s growth than low taxes.

The paper upon which bank notes are
printed is called distinctive paper be
cause used exclusively by the government
for printing bonds and notes. The mills
where it is manufactured are located at
Glen Falls, Westminster county, y. V An
agent of the treasury department receives
the paper direct from the hands of the
manufacturer and great care is taken to
keep any of it from being lost or stolen.
The silk threads in the makeup of this IA
per are accounted for in this way:
When it is in process of manufacture,
clippings of red silk thread are mixed with
the pulp in big tank. The partially fin
ished material is then conducted to wire
cloth without passing through the usual
screen" n that would retain the bits of
thread. Next an arrangement situated
above the wire cloth carrying the paper
pulp scatteIs a shower of blue silk clippings
upon the paper while it is yet moist, after
which it is passed through a roller or set of
rollers. The side upon which this blue silk
shower falls is used for the backs of the
notes, each particular thread being so deep
ly imbedded by the roller pressure as to
make the surface of the sheet perfectly
smooth. The other side of the paper, that
upon which the red threads predominant,
is used for the face" of the note Each of
these sheets, even though they are blanks"
is numbered and registered as soon as fin
ished.-Philadelphi Press.

The Rock That Moses 'smote. :"

The famous Rock in Horeb,'' ancientIy
called the Rock of NASSAU" and at pres
ent known throughout the orient as the
"Stone of the Miraculous Fountain" being
the identical rock which Moses struck with
his rod in order to give water 10 the chill
dren of Israel, is religiously preserved and
guarded even down to this late date. DR.
Shaw in his book, ''Shaw's Travels" saws.
1T is a block of granite about 6 wards
square, lying tottering and loose in the
middle of the valley of Rephidim. and
seems to have originally been u part of
Mount Sinai"
The action of the waters of that miracu
lous fountain, as related in the seventeenth
chapter of Exodus, followed a channel
about inches deep and more than twice
that broad across the face of the rock, this
not upon unsupported testimony, but upon
the word of such men as the Rev Dr. Shaw.
DR.. Pococll, Lieutenant Clogher and other
eminent scholars and travellers NJ Beaum-
gorton, German nobleman who visited
the Rock of Horeb'' in the year 1907, de-
clares his belief in the generally accepted
story of it being the rock of Moses famous
fountain.-St. Louis Republic

A Great Day For Kissing.

Halmagen, Roumanian country town Of
LOO inhabitants, holds it's annual fair on
the Feast of st. Theodore On this occa-
sion the place swarns with newly married
brides from some 60 to so villages in the
district. Widows who have taken fresh
husbands remain at home. The young
women in festive attire, and generally at
tended by their mothers-in-law, carry
jugs of wine inwreathed with flowers in
their hands. They kiss every one they
meet, and afterward present the jug to his
lips for a nip" The individual thus re-
called bestows a small gift on the fair Cy-
belle. Not to partake of the proffered wine
is regarded rs an insult to the young wife
and her family. She is therefore reserved
toward strangers and only kisses those
whom she thinks likely to taste of her wine
The kissing is carried on everywhere-in
the street, in the taverns and in private
houses.
The origin of this custom u yelled in OBJ
security. Some say that it d;.scs back to the
time when the Turks made frequent raids
into Pennsylvania and carried away all the
young women they could lay their hands
on. Such of them as contrived to escape
from captivity, happening to return 20
Halmagen at the time of the fair, kissed
their friends and relatives and even stran-
gers who congratulated them on their won

One of Ex-senator Evarts' Stories.

To Mr.. W. Nj. Evarts belongs the anec-
dote of the bereaved widow whose husband
had such large circle of friends that the
company which she received on the evening
of his interment crowded her drawing room
almost to suffocation. A lady friend of the
widow edged her way up to her, and point
ing to something very bright and shining
visible above the heads of the assembly in
a remote corner of the apartment, whis-
pered in her ear: Say, is that new S-day
clock? What dye gin for sich!" It's not
a clock" sobbed the disconsolate widow,
Its the dear departed. We sot him on
eend to make room for more company"
The supposed s-day clock was indeed the
"casket," richly ornamented with silver
nails, bosses and handles, to which the dear
departed had been consigned.-G. A Sala

THE SANDMAN.
As eoon as the yellow sum is down

As soon as the yellow sun is down
And the bolts are fast on the door,
With his sack of sand he rides into town
With his sack of sand before.
He fills hand with Il shining thing.
And over the dus'.- ground,
As sower scatters the seed in spring,
He scatters the grains around.
Past he rides to the wharf and the ships,
Past to the foot of the hill:
Ever finger is ON his lips,
And his horses hoofs are still.
he gallops up through the old York lanes
And down through Rosemary street;
Like seed he scatters the glistening grains,
And they leap up tall and sweet.
Tall and sweet in swaying rows,
Straight into bloom they leap;
Behind him, behind him wherever he goes
The violet blossoms of sleep.

A case in point comes from Rushmore, o.,
where DR.. A. Page one Of the mostprominent
physicians in the state resides. He writes:
"About two months ago l secured for the

until ] found one Of my patients I was treat
ing for dyspepsia gradually growing worse and
that remedies had previous been successful
with would not have any effect on him. I
then thought of the Paine's celery compound,
and as an experiment gave him one Of them,
telling him to take it according to directions
on the bottle. Imagine my surprise when, 10
days later, he walked into my Office and said,
Doctor, believe 1 am cured Of my dyspep-
sia.'
"Now after having taken the second bottle,
he. as also myself considers himself a sound
and well man, being entirely free from any
disagreeable sensations after eating. Since
first commencing the use of Paine's celery
compound he has gained 30 pounds, and is
the very picture Of health.
"I shall cheerfully answer any communi-
