The alarm Of fire Monday night about Y
o'clock was occasioned by the burning of a
building near the B. & o. depot used by
Mr.. B. c. Washington for the storage of
salt, etc. The FIRE brigade was prompt to
respond to the call. 1t was a fortunate
thing the fire did not extend to the building
near by where many barrels of coal oil were
stored.

Aeourate Measuremepts.

An illustration of the marvellous accur-
acy characteriziDg tools or instruments of
measurement now employed as compared
with those Of former times is given by q
writer in The American Machinist-
namely, that whereas formerly O01a inch
marked on drawing would have been
objected to on the ground that it was diff
f1oult or impossible to work so closely to
measures as that at the present time 0005
inch is measured in every fine Workshop
and dimensions given in hundredths or
even thOusandths of an inch frequently
appear on drawings without objection on
the part of the workmen. The instruments
Of measurement are now made with such
a degree of refined accuracy that even the
warmth of the hand may expand a rod 12
inches long so that the amount of expan-
sion can be measured. 1t has thus become
important in fine measurement to be care
full that the temperature of the piece to be
measured or gauged should have the same
temperature as that Of the instrument by
which its size is determined. By first
handling a rod of the length named and
measuring it, particularly if the rod be of
brass or "copper" and then, after allowing
the rod to cool, handling the gauge until
the latter expands, it is found that a dis
orepancy Of from ,O07 inch to 001 inch
may be sometimes made apparent, due en-
tirely to differences of temperature.

reply of DIR. Morse when asked by a
News reporter if the words of eommen-
dation of DIR. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy, that recently appeared in the
press, was veritable.
81 studied medicine" he said, with
DIR. A. N. Allen, for many years the
leading practitioner of Massachusetts,.
Visiting him several years after, he re.
lated to me the case of a patient of his
who had been cured of stone by solvents.
Naturally inquired into the matter and
he told me. In the town of Dalton,
Mass, his patient lived, and that he had
literally suffered many things of many
physicians, and they the best of the
state There had been a diversity of
opinion as to his ailment, but the doctor
had diagnosed chronic Inflammation of
the kidneys, and his prognosis had been
iucurable.' 1 had known of this case-a
mere wreck of man, suffering and
pessimistic. But now, greatly to my sur
! prise, the doctor told me chat he was
| actually cured. He had taken DR.. David
2
Kennedy's FaYorite Remedy, and not
only had grown stronger and better but
had passed several pieces of stone. The
remedy had promoted the passage of thC
| calculi and had acted as solvent. l saw
this man few days later looking we'll
feeling finely and speaking in the highest
terms of the Remedy. l was led to ex
anime it chemically and to test it thera
peutically. Ny deductions have been suct
as to corroborate the clinical experience Of
many other medical men, that DIR. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy will do that
which is claimed for it and l consider il
great discovery"
The great value of Dr. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy lies in the fact
that it dissolves the excess of uric acid in
the blood. Many of the ailments people
suffer from-for instance rheumatism
neuralgia, nervousness, dyspepsia, kid
ney, liver and urinary troubles, and thu
sickness peculiar to women, come from
I this cause. Favorite Remedy dissolve
this acid, eXpels it from the system, thu
curing the disease. In cases of scrOfula
diabetes and Brght's disease, it cure
where all other treatments have failed.

THERE is vast amount of trash now
being imported into the United States
Since the enactment Of the new Tariff
this has been the case in very many lines
of goods With the opening afforded to
foreign manufacturers by our lower rates
of duties they have determined to secure
control of our markets in one way, if not
another The complaint in this respect
has been general. 1t would not matter so
much if all the foreign trash that is inn
ported bore foreign brand, but it does
not In many cases the cheap foreign
goods are retailed as American goods,
thus bringing discredit upon American
manufacturers generally. In the case Of
f Jreign wooden goods, which are now
being so heavily imported, there is prob.
ably more trash than in any other line
Goods are sold here that have an excellent
finish, almost as good as in the finest
wooden goods, yet their textile construc-
tion is practically rotten. They are made
of the commonest kinds of shoddy, and
contain not a particle Of pure wool. Such
goods can be sold at extremely low prices,
Ia appearance they are excellent, but for
durability they are worthless. OF course,
1T takes little time for the wearer Of such
goods 60 ind this out, and when he com
plains TO the party who sold them he is
often informed that he has bought Ameri-
can goods, and is induced to give another
order for another lot of similar stuff
The American manufacturer cannot
afford to make such cheap goods, because
he knows that he must equal the best
foreign makes. He is consequently work
ing at a disadvantage. Notwithstanding g
growing disposition among the whole
sale trade TO handle only American goods
even at a slightly higher cost, the differ
ence in the price between these foreign
woolens. so called, and honest American
woolsns is so great that the trade feel'
unable to pay the difference for the Ameri
can goods, as times are now when people
study carefully the expenditure Of every
dollar they own OF course, the idea oi
the foreign manufacturers is to secure
our markets. They know that the Ameri
can manufacturers do not make any suct
stun, and that in order to meet the com
pstitlon thu American goods Of better
sefllhality must be marked down in price
which can only be done by lowering
American wages-a proposition thai
would probably be opposed by the wag,
earners, perhaps closing our factories
and thus giving the foreigners absolut
control of our markets, which is the poi n
they are working for.

THE WORK OF oJl3Iu.l.
The Senate Quickly Ratifas the
Treaty with Japan,
THE AMENDED CURRENCY BILL

The House Banking and Currency Com
mittee Decides to Present the Measure
without Recommendation, Thus Preoip-
itating Another Interminable Debate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. .3t.-The session Of the
senate yesterday was unusually eventtul
In giving expression to the intense feeling
which has been aroused by the financial
question and to the apparent hopeless
ness of arriving at solution. Mr.. Sher-
man (O.) urged the senate to take the sub
jcct from the finance committee, where
the task Of framing bill, he declared, was
hopeless by reason of a tie Mr.. sherman
arraigned the advocates of free silver for
pushing their demands TO the point of par
alyzing legislation. He asserted that the
present emergency could readily be met
by issuing bonds of such simple and con
venient form chat they would be taken by
the people as well as the banks.
Mr.. Vest lent a personal interest to the
| debate by declaring the president was seek
ing to make congress accessory to the
welding of the simple gold standard on
the people. The senator asserted that there
must now be a separating of the ways be-
tween him and the president.
| Mr. Hill IN. Y. also spoke briefly, ex
pressing the belief that congress would
speedily aid the administration if the lat
ter would make known what it actually
wanted
| The senate spent the rest of the day in
executive session on the Japanese treaty,
which was ratified after two hours debate.
| The only vote taken was on Senator
Whites amendment providing for the ex-
clusion of Japanese laborers in clearer
terms than in the treaty. This was de-
| feated, 26 to 16. This would have seemed
to defeat ratification of the treaty, as a
two thirds vote in it's favor was not pos
sible if the sixteen should hold out. After
wards in the discussion it was claimed
that an amendment adopted providing
for abrogation in one year would serve to
meet immigration difficulties as well as
others, and this view was apparently &C
cepted
The consular and diplomatic appropria-
ton bill as reported to the senate provides
for the construction of cable between the
United States and Hawaii. The president
is authorized to contract for the entire
work of laying the cable, and as part of
the cost of such cable the sum of 100000
is appropriated Another amendment ap-
Ipropriates So, 600 for the protection of the
property of the United States in the Sa-
moan Islands.
