The wilson bill which is doing 50 much

The Wilson bill which is doing so much
for the country in other ways, is going t.
give it more uproarious Fourth of July
than II has known for years, the reduced
tariff on fire-orackers having resulted il
heavy imporiations, which assure lower
prices. Democratic Newspaper.
Yes, the Wilson bill, which has run the
government in debt about $75, 1000, 900 ;
which has thrown thousands of mecban-
les out OF employment and put others on
short time; which has retarded enter
prise and closed manufactures has re-
duced the price of fire crackers two OF
three cents pack. AS long as working
men can buy their fire crackers at re
duced price, 1t is unreasonable to COM
plain OF lower wages and less work.
Great tariff reform

THE GOULD MAUSOLEUM.
Two Well-Paid Offlcers Watch It
Day and Night.
The Late Miilionaire's Remains Are In a
Massive Tomb with Big Bronze
Doors-Many visitors Como
TO See It.

More than two years ago the remains
of Jay Gould were deposited in one OF
the catacombs of the mausoleum at
Woodlawn cemetery at New York
which had been erected under his own
personal supervision nine years before.
Among the many beautiful and costly
monuments in this country the Gould
mausoleum is unquestionably the
strongest. The most perfect OF bank
breaking tools would be required to
force an entry through its granite walls
or double bronze doors, each of which
weighs ton. The Gould family, how
ever, are unwilling to take any chances
OF repetition of the A. T. Stewart
grave-robbing conspiracy, and they
have caused the massive resting place
OF the bones of the great fnancier to
be closely guarded by day and by night.
The guards are two well-paid special
policemen, ex-Police Captain G.. w.
Gastlin and ex-Policeman Richard
Holloway.
Each does twelve hours duty IN the
twenty-four. BY mutual agreement
the two watchmen exchange watches

The monOtony OF the watch at night,

who comes around every hour. The

rides through. and he generally stops
to bid the time of night. LIZ the sum

DRAWN BY FIRE.
Influence Of Flames I'm Attracting
Rats From Their Holes.

Influence Of Flames I'm Attracting
Rats From Their Holes.
From the Kansas City Journal
TT is an indisputable fact that fire will
draw rats" said Louis Simonds of st. Louis.
During a recent big fire near the river
bank in st. Louis a fire brigade acted the
part of pied piper of Hamelin, and, with the
assistance of the flames, drove out of their
hiding places into the Mississippi as many
rats as did the NEUROLOGICAL musician.
While the water was lighted by the reflec-
ton of the confiagration black mass was
seen floating toward the east shore of the
river.
This proved to be some thousands of rats.
They were headed by their chieftain, an
extraordinarily large, black fellow. and,
finding their quarters attacked by the
flames, had taken to the river for self
preservation. The current carried them a
considerable distance out Of their course,
and during their passage some hundreds OF
them twsre drowned. Spectators on the
bridge made bets on the race, but they were
all declared Off because on the Illinois side
there was no landing place handy for the
fatigued rats, and, as far could be seen,
with the exception of the stronger fellows,
the whole bunch persisted in the river"

USES OF HOT WATER.
Almost IA Panncen for All Human Ills
and Woes.

and Woes.
From the Ladies' Home Companion.
As boon to womanhood half the uses
of hot water are not generally known. AS
a promoter of beauty. or the health, which
is beauty, the use of It within and withou
is highly recommended by one who knows
of what she speaks.
A cupful of hot water taken before break
fast, with little lemon added, and the
same before retiring, is very efficacious in
keeping the system in good condition.
A hot bath taken frequently keeps the
skin in an excellent condition, and is an in
fallible cure for WEAKNESS.
Coming in tired, If you can just disrohe
quickly, jumping into hot bath, and then
into bed for twenty minutes, you will be so
rested that a whole evening afterward Of
dissipation will scarcely be noticed.
Too mary take too long for these things.
The bath must be taken quickly. WhSn
up your mind to sleep.
The skin is seriously affected by The
condition of the stomach that great care
should be taken to keep this organ in per-
feet working order.
For bruises hot applications will be found
to dissipate the black look in a short time.
For headaches of all kinds hot water will
reach the spot sooner than anything else.
In fact, 1t is invaluable, and its uses are
legion.
