CONGRESS ADJOURNED.

Yesterday witnessed the adjournment
OF the second session OF the Fifty-thrd
Congress, and the closing scenes were
such as might have been expected from
the character of the session. The Sen
ators and Representatives, who for
months have shown themselves so In
different to the public interests and 80
neglectful of their duties. made Il con-
sistent ending by rushing away from
Washington without waiting for the
formal adjournment, and In neither
house was there anything like quo
rum. But the outside attendance was
large, and there was no attempt to dis
guise the satisfaction felt by the people
that the burlesque on legislation was
over, at least for a time.
The record of the session Is by no
means satisfactory. With a large ma
jority in the House. and the Republican
ascendancy overthrow In the Senate.
the session opened with bright hopes for
the Democratic party. and with nat
tering prospect that the days OF heavy
taxation, of favored interests, of the
corrupt influence OF Trusts and corpora
lions over legislation, were at an end.
nt5t expectations IaNt btth uiouPpo''N
ed. Some progress has been made In the
cause of reform, 1t Is true. But Dem
ocratic incapacity has enabled the Re
publican minority to block Its way, and
Democratic treachery has compelled the
party to violate many Of the pledges 1t
made to the people before election.
Worse than all, the high character
heretofore borne by the Senate has been
destroyed by transactions that would
disgrace a New York Board Of Aldermen,
and public men supposed to be honorable
and honest have shown themselves ca
pable of selling themselves for a price.
The sugar scandal in the Senate Of the
Fifty-third Congress will rank in history
with the salary grab. the Tweed ring and

Fly Papers.

Every good housekeeper wishes to say
that there is not a single fly in her
house. Now, as we all know to our an
noyance, flies are very troublesome in
these hot days. Here are three good re-
ceipts which can be recommended an
exterminators of the dipterous pests.
The peculiar virtue of these ingredients
Is that no poisonous ingredient is used
In their compositions: Boil together lin
seed Oil and rosin until the compound
becomes thick. or boil three parts Of
rosin and four parts of rapeseed oil to-
gether until sticky mass Is produced,
or, again. boil to thick paste one pound
of rosin, three and one-half ounces of
molasses and the same quantity of lin
seed OIL Any one of these compounds
spread on thick sheets of brown paper
and scattered over the tables and shelves
Will effectually eXterminate flies.

1881 sick babies treated.
5,lA revisits made.
1912 prescriptions filled gratis.
Food has been furnished to families in
thousands OF cases: also free clothing.
These figures explain the purpose and
working of the Sick Babies Fund. The
