WASHINGTON, April 14.-"A good deal
Of fun was made of the resolution
made Thursday to find members ten
dollars for absence without leave,
said Col Ike Hill, the Democratic Con.
gressional whip, this afternoon. "The
newspaper fellows said 1T would not
amount to anything; would not have
any effect; but I want to tell you
know better. Look here. was direct
ed to send out kilograms Thursday
night, wasn't II Well, yesterday only
six or eight answer came in, and they
were vague, indefinite and unsatisfac-
tory. You could not tell whether the
members we're coming or not. This
morning, about 10 o'clock, just as soon
as the absentees read the result Of yes
terday's caucus the telegrams began to
come In, saying; 81 am on board the
train and will be in Washington as soon
as stean can take me-" Before o'clock

never saw such rush Of kilograms be-
fore. The members read that q Demo-
cratic caucus had instructed the SER
geant.at-arms to enforce tho law de-
ductinR per diem (something over $14)
for every days unexpired abence.
That touched them in tender spot,
Republicans and Democrats alike: and

has been since the bill to repeal the Sher-

A uoyY Railroad.

AUGUSTA, April 1G--It is said that
the Louisville and Nashville Ii abroad
cannot saddle It's road with the South
Carol Road at seven million dollars
when they can buy the Port Royal and
Augusta Railroad for one million dol
lars and build line from Fairfax, s.
c., to Charleston, sixty.five miles, at
cost Of 100000, giving them n line
from Augusta to Charleston eighteen
miles shorter than the South Carolina
Road, besides giving them the shortest
line from Augusta to Savannah. In
short. at a. cost of two millions the
Louisville and Nashville can have o
line to the sea. covering Charleston,
Port Royal and Savannah, infinitely SUI
perlor to the South Carolina Railway,
and save to their stockholders five
million dollars. 1t comes from o relia-
BILE source here that the Louisville and

tackled by the Democratic Organ.
The Scranton Times in it's issue of
Monday contained an attack upon Post
master +. NJ. Vandling, charging him
with keeping Republicans in Office who
were negligent in the discharge of their
duties, and cited the case Of "a letter
that was sent from the New York office

and which the Times claims was ad-
dressed to the Sisters Of the Home Of
the Good Shepherd, ut Providence.
When TRIBUNE reporter spoke to

foundation whatever, and substanti-

Small Savings That Arc Certain to Re
turn Large Interest.
Thsre is widespread idea that books
are costly luIuries, aud that only those
possessed Of abundant means can afford
TO be the owner of works covering Il
very wide range Of topics. Hence many
men. young as we'll IS old, who are
desirous Of educating themselves, are
prevented from 30 doing simply be.
cause it is impossible for them to
spare the money needed for obtaining
the necessary books. 1t is quite true
that the possession of complete
library involves large expenditure,
which is beyond the reach of persons
of humble means. But it is fact that
the ability to educate ones self does
not depend upon large expenditure for
books. At boSt an education is but an
epitomizStion of the knowledge of 9th
ers. and does not involve original re-
search except in few cases. To OBJ
tain such an spitomi2 alton docs not
necessarily involve detailed study of
all the works upon any deRired topic
since this has already been done by the
best scholars, the results of those la
brrs are confined in those groat con-
densatious known as encyclopsdias.
The encyclopedia is the poor mans
complete library. In it is the concen -
tratcd wisdom Of the best minds the
world has ever seen. II is authoritat-
i've and complete.
The amount required in order to oh
tain possession Of that greatest Of all
encyclopedias the Britannica, is 80
small that no one can plead poverty as
reason for not purChasingi it. The in
siguifcent sum Of 10 cents day can
surely be laid away by anyone who is
regularly employed, no matter how
small his wages, aud yet that is all
that is needed beyond the first cash
payment
A little self-1enial is all that is nee
essary, and it will prove literal cast
ing OF bread upon the waters, for no
money is SO well spent or so certain Of
returning large interest as that de-
voted to obtaining an education.
THE TRIBUNE invites every working
man in the city to call at the encyclo
pedia headquarters, 437 Spruce street
and examine this work, which is put
within their reach for less than one
fourth the price heretofore asked, and
upon the uneQuallsd terms Of 10 cents a
day.
