Paper a. . Bed Co erine.

Many poor people suffer from cold
during the long winter nights because
OF scant bed clothing, when, il they
only knew it, they could keep perfectly
warm by just using a few newspapers,
or what is better, yellow wrapping
paper. Take newspapers and put
them between two blankets and the
effect will be equal to another pair of
double blankets. If you have any
doubt about it make trial and see
what the result will be. The reason
Of the warmth produced by the pape.
is very simple. The paper is nearly or
quite impervious to the air and it has
the effect of keeping in the bodily heat
and preventing the cold air from the
outside penetrating through the
blankets. Everyone knows that paper
lined houses are much warmer than
those not so lined.
So if there are any poor people in
Elko who are liable to suffer from
cold this winter. remember the simple
experiment of trying a newspaper
blanket.

The BluefieId's Matter Settled

LONDON, Nov. 30.-It is reported that
the Bluefeld's matter has been set
tlad, Great Britain having, upon the
representation of the United States,
admitted that Mr.. Gosling, the Brit
ish Minister, had exceeded his
authority. The affair may lead to his
recall.
1t is learned that Great Britain in
formed Nicaragua she could not re .
cognize certain DEGREES regarding
land registration and other matters
which Great Britain holds violated a
treaty with Nicaragua,
The statement that Great Britain
refused to recognize the new Mica

Deafness Camnu, Be Cured

by LEGAL applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and this is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous
lining OF the eustachian tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have d
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
Illumination can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition OF the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case OF deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir

Special Dispatch to The Evening stsr
NEW YORK, March 29.-The opening Of
tooays market was slightly irregular. but In
the main strong. London was trading at
advances ranging from Is to l-2 per cent
and had a liberal supply Of orders on this
SIDE, for stocks and bonds The bulk OF
these orders Were limited TO prices a shade
under our market, and consequently con-
tr1buted little to the local speculation. The
feeling abroad is so decidedly In favor OF a
boom in stock values that foreign houses
incline TO the belief that the impatience Of
London Spectators will result in a bull
campaign engineered from that side. Trad
ers were inclined to work for a reaction
during the first half OF the session, and
were assisted In their efforts by a liberal
supply OF floating stock pressing for sale.
Inc veto message. while practically as
sureo Tor several days past. was unsaus-
factory. because the particular bill and not
the principal involved was the subject Of
the Presidents iisapproval. IL had been
hoped that the administration xoula 90
erectually condemn all attempts to inHate
the rational currency that the silver ele-
rent In both houses would see the hone
lessness OF future projects of this charac-
ter AS II Is, however. there can be little
doubt that a modified bill covering the
same subject viii be introduced in Con-
gress. and probably. under increased pres
sure, meet with better success than its
predecessor.
There is also some apprehension felt at
the possibility of free-coinage clause be-
ing grated into the tariff bill, the fate of
which would be extremely doubtful. Should
the tar1n bill be vetoed. as the only means
of thwarting the silver provision, party
pledges would be broken, and political in
compatibility ensue. This from a purely
polltical standpoint, would not be a wise
step, but stocks would Immediately attest
the value of such action by liberal addi-
lions to prevailing quotations. The IN
dustrials would profit most by this latter
action, and II is estimated that the silver
people can do them no greater favor than
by insisting on the carrying out of this
project.
The market rallied slightly from the low
irregular.

tons of time for completion of title to GER
tain lands disposed of under the act of
Congress commonly known as the 'Dona-
ton act" and for the protection of pur-
chasers and occupants of the lands which
are situated in the states OF Wyoming,
Oregon and Idaho.
Senator Turpie Qnd.) opposed the bill and
demanded a roll call on the passage Of the
bill.
The bill was passed-40 to 7.
Vote Reconsidered.
On motion Of Senator German CMd.) the

PUBLIC PRINTER.
Indications of n Speedy Change in
the Office.

There are indications that change Will
be made in the office Of public printer
within a very short time. That Mr. Pal
mer, the republican incumbent, has con-
tinued in office SO long in spite of the great
political pressure that has been eXerted for
his removal is accepted by his friends as
high compliment to his administration OF
the affairs of the Office. Other people say
that the delay is due entirely to the Presi-
dents inability to decide among the host
Of democrats who are being pressed for
the place. 1t is said that he has finally con-
cluded to reappoint his old friend, Mr..
Benedict, who held the office during his
last administration. Mr.. Benedict was not
a candidate for the office, but is said to
have yielded to the Presidents solicitations
in the matter. He is assistant secretary of
the state of New York at the present time.
If the report is true, the nomination will
be sent to the Senate in few days.

AGAINST MORE RAILROADS.
Ex-senator Edmunds Opposes Using
Certain Residence Streets.

Ex-senator George F. Edmunds has writ
ten the following interesting letter to the
Commissioners concerning additional rail-
roads in the city of Washington:
while in Washington last week I learn
ed that several projects for more street rail-
roads in the northwest part of the city
were being pressed for your approval with
a view of getting congressional authority
for their construction. AS you may remem-
Der, l have practically resided in North
west Washington for twenty-five years and
have been a house holder for nearly that
time. But 1 have never been an owner,
in any way interested in any real es-
tate, or real estate enterprises or specula-
ton, further or other than TO my own
place, at No. 1411 Massachusetts avenue,
and having sold that my present place at
Pill Massachusetts, avenue, nor have I
been at any time interested in any street
railway line.
II thus stand as one simple householder,
and SO my interests are the same as the
great body of the residents OF that part of
the city. 1 say this in order that you may
know that l am under no particular bias.
l believe it to be fact beyond dispute that
the house and land owners along the streets
in which it is proposed to build these lines
are in opposition.
What then is the reason for this continual
urgency by the persons and corporations
who are asking these privileges? 1t is, evil
IDENTIFY, not for the common good of the in
habitants of that part of the city, unless the
railroad companies consider themselves SUI
perior judges In the matter, and, as it were,
guardians of the interests of the people, and
would do good to them in spite of them
selves. 1 must admit that this idea is not
very uncommon. l respectfully suggest that
the city authorities ought not give any
weight to such considerations. And / sug-
gest also that 1t is not just or good govern
ment to injure the interest or impair the
comfort of the people of one part of the
District to benefit those who have lands to
sell beyond the city limits.
IF the city were already overcrowded
with population there might be an excuse
for spelling the beauty of the avenues and
streets in the northwest part of the city
and diminishing the comfort and, to a de-
gree, endangering the lives of the people
there. But it is fact of ocular demon
stration that the northwest part of the city,
to say nothing of other sections, is. and will
be for years to come, capable of containing
probably 1000 or 1000 more houses than
now exist.
1T Is. 1 think, OF vast Importance to the
future of our great and increasingly attrac-
tive capital city-never, l hope, to be city
of great trade and traffic-that those parts
Of it already complete in its streets and
walks, and settled by people wishing homes
or quiet and safety, should be left untouch-
ed by lines Of monopolistic traffic, which in
such a quarter are unnecessary, and whose
chief reason to be is the making of profits
for railway SPECTATORS and investors"

THE STAMPED ENVELOPE CONTRACT
1t VIII Not BE Announced for Some
Time.

1t is thought at the Post Office Depart
ment that some time will elapse before the
award of the stamped envelope contract
will be announced. An inquiry as to the
ability of James Purcell of Columbia coun-
ty, N. Y, the lowest bidder. to fulfill the
provisions Of the contract will be made.
and it is barely possible that the nearness
of amount of the other bids may result in
advertisement for new bids.
A special dispatch says that Purcell is
county clerk of Hudson county. n. ", and
for six years was chief clerk for the gov
eminent in charge of the postal card con-
tracts in Castleton, New York, and Shell
ton, n. Y. He is a young man with practi-
cal experience in the business. and was ap-
pointed chief clerk in President Cleveland's
administration and retained by the Harri-
son administration for marked ability.
