The Presidents Rights In Congress-.
The president of the United States
has no personal rights in the house Of
representatives, says the Washington
Post. He can send it messages. but it
is not obliged to extend any courtesies
in the way Of quarters on the floor.
No doubt he would be courteously treat
ed if he should come. but he never
has come during the regular legislative
sessions and probably never will. But
in the senate it is different. The rela-
tons between the president and the up
per chamber are close and confidential.
1t passes upon his nominations, and
can be very agreeable or disagreeable
If it sets ont. There is presidents
room there. and he has right to come
into the chamber and deliver his mes

Madison appeared in the senate fire.
quently. During executive sessions
there is chair for the president be-
side the vice presidents, though it does
not get warmed with any frequency.
1t is one Of the traditions of the senate
that the president has right to take
possession of the vice presidents chair
while lie is delivering a message, but
no president has ever availed himself
of the right, and that small boon is

LOST THE PRETTY WIDOW

A Modern Miles stnndish Who Made
the Mistake of WOoinE by Dep
uty.
The most select circles in Wissahick-
on society recently had choice bit o.
gossip to discuss, and it has finally
reached beyond that pretty suburban
settlement and reached the PhiladeI-
phia Record. The story hinges on the
romantic sequel to a request like the
one that overturned the social founda-
lions of certain puritan town when
sturdy Miles Standish intrusted his
wooing to his friend, young John Al
den. Miles Standish of this story
mourns the loss of the bride he came
from the west to wed, While she is en-
Toying in Boston honeymoon with the
modern John Alden. For some time
mast Mrs, Minnie Mitchell, dashing
and handsome young widow, has been
making her home at 136 Sumac street
with her uncle, Samuel Garrett. The
gossips have it that she was engaged
to be married to a wealthy young west:
crn business man and had accumulated
IN extensive trousseau in preparing for
q second plunge into the troubled sea
of matrlmony. The date for the mar.
rage ceremony had been fixed for Dec.
26 Attention to business prevented
the young man, whose name is not yet
diyulged from reaching this city til!
Christmas evening, and in order tina .
affairs might proceed smoothly on the
morrow he had written to the lady's
| cousin, Francis III. Garrett, a lawyc 4
requestig him to fix all the necessary
legal transactions and procure the H.
cense. Rumor, which is a feature OF
suburban civilization, says that MIR.
Garrett, now man of some 80 years
had been in love with Mrs. Mitchell
before her first marriage. Thrown So
) much in each others company the or
passion revived, and the request
brought affairs TO a climax for Mr.. Gar
rett had the license made out is his
own name. Christmas night the west
ern lover arrived, and was well receiv-
ed by Mrs. Mitchell and the Garrett
family. but early the next day the wild
| ow and her cousin. Mr.. Garrett. flew to
Philadelphia, were married by Rev.
DR.. B. L. Agnew. and left at noon on
an extended wedding trip, from whic''
they have not yet returned. The dis:
carded lover did not feel as badly as
might be imagined, but an unmistak-
able air of disappointment surrounded
him as he again boarded the train at
Broad street station to SO back to his
western home in solitude. The lates'
news from the young couple was that
they were enjoying a happy honey
moon in Bc'iton.

BOX Gao MERCHANTS.
Arrested for Selling Fraudulent Gro.
5s# CerieN.NsS al i4 h 1

Several box car merchants, whose
headquarters are said to be ut Chiosasgo,
have been arrested Mt West SaGsks.ss
Wis, for selling u cheap mixture Skv
alum and soda under the pretense thd
1t was Royal Baking Powder SimilaV
operations have been heard Of in 0the3
sections Of the. country, and two men
recently arrested at Canton, N. II, for.
the same offense have been convicted
and sentenced to the full penalty pro.
vlded by the law.
The usual method Of parties engaged
In this business is to obtain orders
from. farmers for all kinds Of groceries
at prices considerably below those
charged for the same goods by local
dealers, and then to deliver bogus arti-
cles. Tempted by the prices, the farm
ers order largely various articles, per-
haps a whole winters supply. These
orders are put up at Chicago, and de-
livered IT different towns by the car
load. Almost every person orders
Royal Baking Powder, but when the
packages are examined, 1t is found that
the baking powder is not in the genu-
ine Royal cans. This is evidence of
fraud, us the Royal is never sold other
wise than in Its own red-labeled tin
cans. A subsequent examination proves
the powder to be mixture made from
/, alum.
Consumers should be on their guard
against receptions of this kind. While
these purchasers 'thought they were
saving ten cents a pound on Royal the.
We're paying thirty-five cents for q mix
ture that can be bought anywhere TO.
ten cents and which is dear at that.
So Wells it understood that the Roya
Baking Powder is never sold in bulk
or otherwise than in it's own seales
cans, that any prosecuting attorne!.
will, upon his attention being called t,
the matter, prosecute any one who pre-
tends to make such sales.
Reputable grocers have an equal in
terest with consumers in breaking VI
these frauds The goods sold by thes
travelling agents are of an inferior char
acter. 1t is in this way the country i
filed with adulterated goods which tn
farmer is buying at rate far beyon'
their value. while the trade of the legit
innate local dealer is being destroyed
We are glad to know that the Roya
Baking Powder Co. will prosecute a
cases of fraud of this kind of which
is advised.

Death to the Croton.

A correspondent of a leading scfen-
titic journal writes to ask for some re-
cipe that will relieve him from the pest
of croton bugs that infest his house.
Prof. Riley, i'll reply, states that the
main difficulty in Kidding houses of this
nuisance is due to the fact that people
will not take enough trouble. The mere
scattering of something on the floor
once for all is going to have but little
eect. Nothing is better than to use
thoroughly and persistently California
buhach, homegrown pyrethum pow
der. This should be blown by Il small
bellows into all cracks, holes and crew
ices in the infested room just after
nightfall, and the room should then be
closed and left until the following
morning, when the servant should
sweep up and burn every specimen
found upon the floor. A repetition OF
this process for two or three nights will
probably work temporary cure. but
as the insects breed rapidly, and mi
crate. from one house to another, the
operation may have to be repeated at
ter some months.

A yttnIizing Bath.

salt may be bought in three or tive
pound boxes at Il druggists, and a half
cupful dissolved in boiling water and

is enough for sponge bath. The best
way to take it is to stand in the bath

E,ectr1citv I'm the Laundry.

The old maxim which inculcates the
inadvisability Of putting new wine into
old bottles hardly applies to the con-
ditions under which electricity is called
in to supplement- existing plants for in
dustrial purposes. Nowadays it is a
frequent occurrence to see an electrical
plant installed at few hours notice
in a mill or factory that has logged
along with steam or water as it's mo-
tive power for quarter or half cen
fury, and the change always means
quicker work and cheaper production.
A rapid transformation of this kind
has been made in Devonshire, Eng,
where some large premises formerly
used as flour mills have been taken, over
by steam laundry company. The old
mill water-wheel was turned to account
in the driving Of IN eighty-light dyna-
mo, and not only is the whole building
lit by electricity, but all the linen is
smoothed and CLOSED by means Of cleo
trically heated irons, and at compare
lively small outlay the proprietor has
provided himself with a plant equal
to the requirements of an extensive
and profitable business.

The Rev. w. H. Hunton, pastor OF
Grace Lutheran Church. at Bay and
Alexander streets, took strong Opposi-
ton to many of the entertainments
and schemes gotten up by churches to
raise money. These entertainments,
Mr.. IIunton says, are unscrlptural. and
cannot but be offensive to God
Yhe sermon was based upon st.
Johns testimony that when Christ
found buying and selling for gain go
ing on i'll the temple He made scourge
and whipped the buyers and sellers
and money lenders into the street. Mr..
Hunton also found scripture for his
position in the First Book of Samuel,
where it is recorded that the Lord in
cel. sed at the worli!iness of Eliza priest
Of the Tabernacle at Shiloh, sent him
,, word By prophet that lie and his soDs
would die on the same day for their
sins, i'll specializing in the things which
the people brought to offer as sacri-
, flee to God.

Jesus would not tolerate in His time
could not be acceptable to COG in these

; now and enter church where a mod

/ thought He would make another

the street.
1 Mr.. Hunton said that the Christian
church now represented the temple and
/, the tabernacles of the olden times.
Christ taught that the temples were
holy places, set apart for the worship
Of God and not for the pursuit Of
worldly schemes and pleasures. 1T is
terrible" said Mr.. Hunton, ito hear of
cantatas and pantominles and military
drills and kirmess dances and Santa
Claus entertainments being given in
worship. The church is not place of
; holy place." Mr.. Hunton said that the
church festival, where articles were
given to the person receiving the high
est number of votes, where grab bag
| was operated, and where pretty girls
sold ordinary articles at extraordinary
prices to old men and young men. is
about the lowest kind of scheme that
could be devised for enriching the en-
chequer of the church. All these things
are unscriptural, he said, and bring dis
grace upon the church.
Mr. Hunton said he preached this
sermon not because his congregation
was given to unscriptural methods for
raising money, but so that they might
be fortified with arguments against
these things when they came in contact
with people who believed in them.-Ro-
