WORK OF CONGRESS.
Monday Feb. 26.


The senate held a very short session,
adjourning shortly after p. m. to give the
Democratic members an opportunity to
caucus on the tariff bill.
The proceedings of the house were full
of Sensational incidents, caused by debate
on the Bland bill. Mr.. Pence of Colorado
denounced the Republicans for submitting
to Reeds whip, and Mr.. Fithian of Illinois
denounced his Democratic brethern for
their filibustering tactics. Mr.. Pence was
finally called to order and by a vote the
house refused to allow him to proceed.

his motion to close debate on the seignior-

Thursday, March 1.
The long struggle in the house over the
Bland bill for the coinage of silver seign-
forage and the silver bullion in the treas
ury was ended today by the passage of the
bill by vote of 1877 to $780, majority in
favor of the bill of 81. The special order
to bring the bill to vote was adopted by
bare quorum Immediately after the
house convened This broke the opposi-
ton of the filibusters, and they were pow
erless to do anything further to place an
obstacle in the way of the bill. All the
amendments offered to the measure by it's
opponents were defeated.

are two this. Tn 1888 six leagues and asso- citations included all the professional base ball clubs of the country. This year before championship season is opened we have on the list the National league, the East ern league, the Western league, the Vest ern association, the Southern league, the Pennsylvania State league, the Connecti- cut State league. the New York State league, the Tristate league, the Virginia State league and other state leagues too numerous to mention. The baseball rage really seems to be epidemic.
 Besides all these professional clubs the great army of amateur associations which have been formed throughout the land are attesting to the genuine popularity of the sport.
 Another sure indication of the popular re- vival is the space which metropolitan news papers are devoting to baseball reports and gossip this spring. A measurement of space deToted to such print will show tha: it is nearly if not quite double what it was last spring. The daily newspapers are good thermometers to mark the popular pulse and whenever they give up valuable space In their columns to any particular line of news and gossip it can be assuredly decided that the reading public demands it.
 In New York city the receipts from the
 
 weather, have been two and one-half times larger than they were last season under more favorable circumstances Three of the evening New York newspapers will is sue special baseball editions, something that has not been done since the beginning of 1890
 Personal misfortunes frequently turn out to be the public's benefit. This precept was recently eXempitied in the casesf Boston s great left fielder, Hugh Duffy. MT. Duffy | was blessed with a young wife whom he | dearly loved and who was as dearly devoted | to him. Last year she was stricken with | that dread dsease-consumpt In the | vain hope of saving Mrs. Duffys life Hugh | took her to California last fall During the | winter there were hopes of her life being | prolonged if she would not leave that eli mate. Thereupon Duffy notified the Bos | ton people not to depend on his services this | year, because he would not leave his wife | so long as she lived, and he would not bring l her back east so long as her life was safe | out there.
 I This news was a bitter disappointment to the Bostons. Duffy was their winning | player. His loss could not be repaired Then came Dutfy's bereavement, which re suited in the Bosto on'S gain Mrs Dufry's | last days drew nigh, and like all dying per sons she longed for one more sight of hei home. Duffy at her request started east | ward with her. The poor woman died when | less than five miles from her mothers | house
 While every lover of the national game will sympat hize with BostOn'S great left I fielder in his domestic loss, he will at the l same time be glad to ki-ow that the profes sion is not to be deprived even for a single season of his brilliant playing. There are very few Duffys on the professional dia mond today, and none of them can be l spared from the game. 0. P. CAYLOR.

THAT "Too, TOO SOLID FLESH"
Fat or No Fat In an Antifat Diet Profes-
 atonally Discussed.

Fat or No Fat In an Antifat Diet Profes-
 sionally Discussed.
 Speaking in a paper on the subject of the various diet cures for fatness, the eminent authority, Dr. Andrew Wilson, -ays:
 Doubtless starches and sugars, repre- sented in such vegetable foods as bread, rice, tapioca and the like, are fat form CTS. The living body has thus power of making fat out of that which is not fat. And along with this point is an- other-that fat itself does not go, di- rectly at least, to make fat in the body.
 Fat is, on the other hand, valuable addition to the diet of a corpulent per son because it has power properly ad- ministered of burning off food excess. In more than one system of body reduc- ton fat is, therefore, administered as an essential part and parcel of the diet cure. It is said that when fat, starches and sugars are all cut off reduction of weight takes place much faster than when fat is allowed in the dietary scale. This may be so, but strongly question the wisdom of the proceeding.
 All we know about fat points to it as an absolutely essential element of our food. We can't live healthily without it, and if decrease in weight rapidly follows its elimination from the diet the very rapidity of the reduction is an argument against its safety. Besides, starch and sugar largely omitted from the food, with a moderate quantity of fat allowed and slight increase of the flesh foods, will accomplish all that is needed more gradually, but also hold more safely for tho patient.
 The lesson of physiology, therefore, to us all is: Don't neglect the fats of the food. They assist the assimilation of other foods and are essential for the body's nutrition. I should not believe in any system of ordinary diet or of weight reduction which neglected fat on the one hand or insisted that it's absence was essential for the cure of corpulence on the other-New York Times.

About two years ago I had pneumonia and was brought very low. After I got out I was in a very feeble condition, not being able to attend to my business for some time. I had become all run down and did not know what to do.
 II was nervous and exhausted and wor- ried over my condition. took many remedies, but did not seem to get any bet ter.
 At last I decided to take Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, having always heard it very highly spoken of. I had not taken it but a very short time when I began to notice decided improvement. I continued using it and the benefit derived was marvellous.

South American Politeness.

It rather staggers the North American traveller in Peru to see the p1ettily uni formed young women collecting fares on the street railways, but when he wis., its the second city in Mexico, Guadala- jara, and witnesses the refined courtesies practiced by the male conductors on the street cars there he is completely par alyzed.
 The manners of the eGuadalajaran are in keeping with the cheerfulness and friendliness of this city. Imagine your self entering street car in New York or any city in the United States and be- fore taking your seat lowing, hat in hand, to your fellow passengers, none of whom you. have ever seen before.
 Then suppose yourself arrived at your destination. You rise, smile friendly farewell to the car in general, shake hands with the conductor, and with a polite inclination of the head take leave of the driver. The number of times have witnessed such exhibitions of po- liteness convince me that it is one of the customs of the country. y.-New York Journal.

HUGH DUFFY.

CT Kennedy of the Brooklyns and Amos Rusie of the New Works. All of them, however, sacrificed business ambitions for the ''good of the game and will play ball again this year if they starve. What noble sentiment. Still know several merchants, manufacturers and farmers who would ex change prospects with any one of these suf fering baseball paupers and take 40 per cent off the salary for the chance.
 I remember the remark of New York judge who was called upon in 1890 to try case wherein a League club was appealing to the law to compel a ball player to keep a conditional contract, and the ball player was setting up defense of oppression and slavery When the testimony showed that the club offered the player and stood ready to pay him $500 a month, the learned judge leaned forward on his woolsack. looked long and earnestly at the defendant, figur- ed a.l little on his own salary by dividing it by F and noting that the quotient was considerably less than the ball players sti- pend and then remarked sottO voce to the clerk, II have made a mistake An my voca- tion."
 On the average baseball salaries are not so high as they were three or four years ago by 30 per cent, but they are more uni form They run from $l 300 to $2, 800 year now whereas in the days of strife and dis aster sums were paid out from S1 300 to s, 800. 1 know of very few salaries this year which run in excess of g., 800, and in most of these exceptions the extra money is paid for extra services as catcher or man ager. Two thousand dollars seems to be the average salary in the League. At that figure there is a chance for each club to make money this year and offset the last four years of disastrous losses. l say last four because, although no money was lost by the League last year, the big debt which remained to be wiped out ate up most oi what otherwise would have been profit.
 This season the chances are that thou sands of dollars will be made in the League The clubs are literally clear of debt, and the "boom' of last seas on is going to be almost doubled. It may be Eoticed that make the statement without any saving clause. There is good ground for such assurance. The spirit of baseball revival is in the air, and it pervades the lanu It is heard on the streets, in families, in the stores and shops. on the cars and in the schools.

A Sure Way by Which You Can Avoid
 All These Results.

All have cares of some kind and cannot avoid it. The business man, house-keeper, society person and student all have their responsibilities. It is those cares which make so many persons have weak nerves, weakness, poor blood, indigestion, kidney and liver complaint, headache and innu- merable other troubles.
 They are countless numbers of persons in just such condition. They are not sick with any particular disease, but are out of order, have weak nerves and tired bodies. They do not eat or sleep we'll, wake tired mornings with bad taste in the mouth and dull feeling head. They have lost their snap and energy and work becomes an effort. An important letter relating to this subject has just come from one of the most prominent and wealthy citizens of Waterbury, Vt. George W. Atkins Esq is a leading business man there, be- ing at the head of the firm of Atkins & Haines, and we'll know throughout New England. He writes the following letter for your benefit:

A Railroad of Curves.

The first railroad west of the Ale ghanies was built from Lexington to Frankfort, Ky, in 1881. The road was laid out with as many curves as possi- ble, the engineers declaring that this was an advantage. The cars were in two stories, the lower for women and children, the upper for men, four per sons being seated in each compartment. The cars were at first drawn by mules, but after time a locomotive was made by Lexington mechanic. The tender was big box for wood, and hogshead was provided for water which was drawn in buckets from convenient wells. In place of cowcatcher there were two poles in front fitted with hickory brooms for sweeping the track.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

CAYLOR'S BALL GOSSIP
The Annual Salary Kick and Its
 Usual Result.
MOST OF THE PLAYERS IN LINE.

Hugh Duny's Touching Devotion to His Dy-
 ing Wife-The Great Left Fielder's Loss
 Was the Gain of the Boston Club and the
 Entire Baseball Public.
 This has been very discouraging year for baseball players to work their usual spring bluff of going into business rather than waste six months of their valuable lives for beggarfy salary of $20OO ol S3,0O0. Business at this particular time is not yearning for new operators. There are no aching voids in the commercial world waiting for disgruntled ball players to fill Even the saloon business appears to be pretty well taken care of.
 And yet there were few of the boys wht would not recognize the financial depres sion and made some threats of leaving the diamond and seeking easier ways of getting rich by leasing themselves to a commercial or agricultural pursuit. Catcher Vaughn of Cincinnati was one of the adventurers He believed he could make more than S2, COG by raising tobacco upon an Ohio farm, and make it easier than by catching 50 or 6C games for Comiskey. At the last moment he changed his mind. Maybe his almanac predicted early frosts this year, and he feared his crop might be nipped.
 Catcher Charley Farrell didn't see at first how it was possible for him to get along or $40O a mouth, which the New York club of fered him, and have letter before me il which he writes that he expected to receive at least $500 every 30 days and had mapped out his expenses for the year accordingly. Therefore he'd have to get $500 per month or refuse to play ball at all. 1 presume he knew just where and how to get that sum of money elsewhere on each first day of the month. i
 Catcher Grim of Louisville was another player whose hat was two sizes larger this year than last. He would go into business by manufacturing mucilage, I believe unless the Louisvilles met his demands fol living expenses.
 Catcher Zimmer (and there seemed to be more business temptations for catchers than any other class of players) threatened to turn his attention to teaching German in kindergarten rather than play ball ill Cleveland for S2 100.
 There were other business possibilities sprung upon the magnates by Tommy Tucker, Turner, Young of Cleveland, Pitch

Safety Stockholders.

An English invention aims to provide security against liability to accident from the. slipping of ladders. The rem edy in this case is the introduction of a novel form of shoe suitably attached. It consists of bracket which can be se- curely bolted to each side of the ladder, formed at it's lower edge with 8 lug through which a hole is bored, shoe being loosely jointed to this by means of pin passing through it and the lug connection being so free that the shoe can easily swing. To the under side of the shoe corrugated pad of rubber is fixed. The effect of this arrangement is that in whatever position the ladder is fixed there is always grip upon the ground which prevents slipping, the freedom of the shoe enabling ladder to be placed almost horizontally without incurring the least liability of slipping When desired, shoes can be applied to the upper ends of a ladder, thus pre- venting any damage to the walls or the ornamental work. k.-New York Sun.
