HOUSEHOLD TREASURE.
Growing Popularity of the Oxford Sew
ing Machines.


There is nothing more truly a household
treasure than good sewing machine. 10
be without it is to be williully deprived of
the imme-'@e advantage of one of the great
est of inventions. A machine once
bought is :. perpetual treasure. 1t demands
no wages, occasions 10 expense or trOubls
and is always ready Withouta moments no
tce to render the work of the laborioIis
housewife tenfOld more efficient and eNpe-
ditiOus. Some machines combine the best
ideas and suggestions which have been so
abuntlantly introduced in this remarkable
mechanism.
A machine which exhibits in liberal COM
bination all the best features introduced IS
the oxford Improved Sewing Machine,
made by the Oxford Manufacturing Conn
pany, Chicago, desert ption and cut of which
can be seen in the advertising columns of
this paper. They make high and low arm
machines, with locE-stitch shuttle, running
light and quiet. These machines have the
following important features: Cheapness
(ranging from $1,000 upWard); perfect al
most selfadiusting and graduated tension;
are under control Of the operator, and are
always positive in their working: They
are entirely self-threading in all points, IN
Guiding the shuttle. The needle is seif-set-
ting, and the attachments are quickly and
easily placed and fastened. The shuttle has
an easy oscilating motion, causing it TO
keep its proper place against the race.
Their Oxford, Home and Columbia ma
chimes, with attachments, were awarded the
medal premium at the Worlds Columbian
Exposition, Chicago.

POLITICAL FUTURE AT STAKE.
Madeline P0IIand'S Suit Against Congress.

Madeline P0IIard'S Suit Against Congress.
man Breckenridge Called at Washington.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 8.-The
dingy little white courthouse of the
District of Columbia, an old-fashioned
specimen Of architecture standing in
judiciary Square, fronted by imposing
white marble pillars and overlooking a
statue of Abraham Lincoln, will be the
theaier for weeks to come of the most
sensational episode of litigation known
to the passing generation Of Washing
tonians.
Congressman w. c. P. Breckenridge,
long titled the silver-tongued orator of
Kentucky, son of Presbyterian min
lister, veteran of the Confederate army,
a member of one of the most distin
guished families of his state, and here
tofore conspicuous as a politician and
churchman, begins to-day the role OF
defendant in q suit for $50, 900 damages
for breach Of promise brought by Miss
Madeline V. Pollard, also a Kentucklan.
Last August the suit was filed, few days
after the second marriage OF Col. Brock
inridge. Since then both parties to the
suit have been engaged in taking testi-
mony in Kentucky and Cincinnati, the
attorneys for Miss Pollard endeavorlng
to substantiate her assertions that Col.
Breckenridge met her when q girl in
seminary al Cincinnati, and had made
repeated promises to marry her; while
the statements secured by Mr.. Breckin-
ridge tend to blacken the character OF
the plaintiff.
Miss Pollard for year had clerical
position in the Census Bureau at Wash
ington and has done much writing for
the newspapers, sometimes under the
name of Madeline Vinton Pollard and
occasionally as Madeline Breckenridge
Pollard. During the months between
the filing of the suit and its trial she
has lived in house of refuge of the
Episcopal Church in Washington, and
her brother, who was editor of a
weekly paper in Kentucky, has been in
the city as her advisor.

Haunted.

A haunted house in these practical and
unromantic days is something of rarity,
but an individual haunted with the idea
that his ailment is incurable is parsonage
frequently met with. Disbelief in the abii
ity of medicine to cure is only mild form
OF monomania, although in some cases re-
peated failures to obtain relief from many
different sources would almost seem to JUS
tify the doubt Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
has demonstrated its ability to overcome
dyspepsia constipation, liver and kidney
trouble, malarial complaints and nervous
ness, and its recorded achievements III the
curative line ought at least to warrant its
trial bv any one troubled with either of the
above ailments, even although his previous
efforts to obtain remedial aid have been
ruthless Used with persistence, the Bit
ters will conquer the most obstinate cases.

CHICAGO, H., March 1.-TWO little

about decision by tie Dauphin-

run down to Grand Crossing. The

day passed threats and counter threats
