A Grand Rapids Lady's Success.

We are pleased to note that Mrs. IL. S.
Hayden, of Minneapolis, formerly of
this city, is spoken of by the press of
that city as teacher of physical culture
of marked ability. She graduated with
honor, being one of eight who attained
success and received diplomas from a
large number of candidates.
Since graduating she has taught sue
cessfully, and has gone to Montana
where flattering offers have been made
her to look over the field She will
give a course of training to large classes
there.
Physical culture as taught by Mrs.
HAYDEN is not merely fashionable fad,
but a means of more perfect health, a
renewal of life, and nerve force, and
physical grace and beauty.

Warehouse Blaze.

Duluth, Dec. 4.-Duluth was visited
by a fire which caused considerable loss.
1t started in the north end of Warehouse
No. / of the Union Dock and Warehouse
company on Lake avenue, which was
used as a skating rink, and spread with
great rapidity, the flames having swept
through the entire length of the building
before the fremen arrived. Warehouse
No. 2 next caught fire, and, being a one
story frame structure, it was quickly a
mass of flames. Both buildings were en-
tirely destroyed, with all their contents,
consisting of q large quantity of cement,
salt, starch, sugar, canned goods, brooms,
kerosene, tar paper and machinery. The
total loss is estimated at about 100000,
the buildings being worth about $4,000,
and the contents amounting in value to
about $4,000.

THE WILSON TARIFF BILL
INTEREST CENTERs IN THE HOUSE
ON ACCOUNT OF THI MEASURE.
The Bill VIII Probably Re Reported
Thursday, but Debate VIII Not he
gin Until Next week-The Income
Tux Provision.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Interest in the
regular session of congress-, which con-
yened to-day, will center at the house
wing of the capitol, where the new tariff
bin is on the way. An enormous pressure
for legislation of all kinds will exist from
the first, but as soon as the decks can be
cleared the tariff bin will have the right
of way. The extraordinary session
showed the purpose not only of eliminat-
ing the silver question but advancing
the tariff problem four months on the
road of solution. The Wilson bill will
be introduced in the house the latter part
of the week, probably Thursday. On that
day the ten days allowed by the rule
under which the tariff bill was filed dur
the recess viii expire. The Mckinley bill
was not reported TO the house until
April Is. If the Republicans attempt
to prevent the reporting of the bill this
week on the ground that the ten days
allowed them should not be deemed to
have begun until the Democrats of the
committee furnish the estimates, as yet
not having been completed, the claim can
and probably will be set up in opposition
that the order under which the Repub-
90 "SAS Hiio"tu Tic lGb udJ = III
which to make their report was a recess
order, and its terms having been com-
piled with the orders fail at the opening
of the regular session and the statue quo
is restored. The estimates Of the revenue
to be derived from the tariff bill are com-
pleted and will be submitted tomorrow.
They show that the deficit in the reve-
nues IN the basis of a governmental ex-
penditure of $3.50, DOC, 700 a year will be
raised to $65,O00,00O, which might be
raised from increased internal revenue

BILE that the tax on whisky will be iu-
creased more than 10 cents per gallon,

one time last week practically decided in
an informal way to impose a. tax on the
incomes of corporations and legacies,
there has been a change of sentiment,
and it Is almost certain that a straight
tax on individual incomes of over $4,000
will be recommended. Even If the Will
son bill is reported this week, it is not
expected that debate can begin until next
week.

CONGRESS Is In SESSION
TEE REGULAR SESSION OF NArIOu~
AL LAWMAKERS BEGINS.
As the Extra Session Disposed of
All the Preliminartes Necessary at
the Opening of Long Sessions, Duss-
ness Is Promptly Begun.

Washington, Dec. 4--The regular seq
sion of congress began to-day, and an
the extra session disposed of all the pre-
hminaries generally necessary at the
opening of long sessions, congress began
business promptly upon converting. The
committees of both the senate and the
house appointed ut the beginning of the
extra session reported man bills which
are now on the calendar OF the two
houses and in position to be considered
when il shall be the pleasure of the mem
bers to take them up. There are be-
tween fifty and sixty bills and resolutions
on the calendar. A large majority Of
these bills are of minor Importance and
relate to private pensions and ether
claims against the government for small
amounts. These will be disposed of with
dispatch in a majority of instances when
taken up. Many of the resolutions refer
to subjects which were incidental to the
silver repeal bill, and with that measure
out of the way they will in all probability
be dropped. There are, however, a few
bills of general Importance, such as SEN
ator Hills federal elections bill; the bill
reported by Senator Voorhees, to increase
the circulating notes Of national banks;
Senator Morgan's concurrent resolution
for the appointment Of a joint committee
of the two houses TO consider financial
questions; Senator Stewards two resolu-
tons, the first for a committee to inquire
If any senator's are stockholders in ma
tional banks, and the second relating to
the independence of coordinate depart
meats of the government: Senator PEI
fer's resolution concerning the interstate
commerce, and Senator Palmer's regard
ing pensions to non-resideDts. 1t is i'm
possible to say which. if any, of these
measures will be taken up during the
first week of the session. 1t Is considered
probable that none of them will receive
as much attention rs the Hawaiian
question, which Ia not now before the SEN
ate in any shape, but which is almost
sure TO be brought before it in some way
before the close of the week. 1t is prob
able that a number Of resolutions of
inquiry will be introduced asking for ali
the papers In the case, including the in
structions to Minister Willis, and there
will undoubtedly be a full discussion of
the entire subject, If not during the pres
ent week, later ia the session.
