The New FlashIiSht.

The new fashlight lately added to
the appliances of photography is q ma
chine made Of brass and nickel, which
stands about six feet high; on the top
of the apparatus is an endless chain, to
which are attached II wooden cups con-
tanning from 10 to 20 grains Of Lax
ow'' powder, and prOtruding from one
side of these small cups are little pieces
of iron wire. About half way down the
stand are two small points, similar 10
the carbOns in an electric light, and at
tached TO the stand are two lines of
rubber pipe, one of which is connected
with the camera In the center of tho
pipe is Il rubber bail, like that of an
atomizer. and when the person whose
photograph is to be obtained has been
focused, tie bulb is pressed with the
hand, causing the shutter on the camera
to be released, and at the same time
making an electrical connection which
lights fuse i'll the little wooden box at
the top and causes the powder to ignite,
thus making the exposure. The machine
is said to work very quickly, and it has
been pronounced the most wonderful

Minister Dupuy de LONE In Tears.

There was a remarkable scene in tho
state department not long ago. 1t was
that of the minister from Spain, the
proud Senior Dupuy de LONE, in tears
i'll the presence of the secretary Of state.
Mr.. de LONE was sent hither by his
government after Muragua had made
such mess of his mission with a def
mite object in view. That object was to
avert the necessity of Spain's paying
the famous Mora claim. The Spanish
government believed Mr. de LONE, with
his art and address, his tact, his Chica-
go experience, his success in manage
ment of delicate matters, would be able
to postpone, if not to defeat outright,
payment of the old claim But he ran
against one of the strongest men ever
seen in the state department. Mr.. Olney
is a bulldog in tenacity, a fighter when
his blood is up.
All of Mr.. de Lome's art was exer-
cised in vain. Useless were his appeals
for time. Mr.. Olney told him in Ian
guage quite unmistakable, though very
polite, that the claim had to be paid.
The dread alternative which the minis
ter and his government had to face was
the appearance of American ships of war
in Havana harbor, with their command
ers under orders to seize the custom
house after the lapse Of a certain period
of time. The naughty Spaniards had
nothing to do but yield, and they did
this rather ungracefully. When he final
ly realized that defeat was inevitable,
Minister de LONE broke down. Tho
tears came to his eyes and he exclaimed
to Secretary Olney: "This Will ruin
me, Mr.. Secretary am beaten in the
principal object for which l was sent
here. 1t will make me the most unpop-
ular man in Spain. My career is at an
end walter Wellman in Chicago

The Greatest Canal.

templated by the Russians. This is to
be a continuous waterway of 1000
miles, connecting the Baltic with the
Black sea, and the cost would only be a

start from the port of Riga, in the Bal

and Dnieper on its route, entering the

three miles every Sabbath morning TO

two fine horses. My father drove. He

with their happiness. He had all of us
in the wagon with him. He drove to the
country church. The fact is that for so
years he drove in the same direction.

his whip in the wagon house never

Unworthy Habits Of
Haste Among Them.
Many Who Seem to be Acting
A Foolish Part.
Are Not Satisfied by Going
About Quietly.
They Hurry and Worry, Then Don't
Get Sleep.
Panes Celery Compound Their Best Relief.

In prescribing Paine's celery compound
fora patient the other day Augusta physi-
elan, who is n specialist in nervous dill
culties, declared that there We're thousands
themselves by too rapid movements.
''rhey are not satisfied, said he, with
going about doing things in n quiet, or
binary way but rush through with their
work and ruin their health as fast as they
can. So firmly fixed is this habit that
they run up and down stairs when there
is no need for hurry.
"Thcy not only rush but worry and be-
tween these two, subject their nervous
systems to more wear and tear than any
thing short of wrought steel could en-
dure"
Whatever the cause, our women, our
young girls and even business men are
rapidly growing moro and more nervous.
Prof. Phelps the great Dartmouth scicn-
fist, saw this alarming state of things and
concentrated all his energy To rcmodying
it, 1t was from the formula of this emf
ncnt student and thinker that Paine's
celery compound was prepared.
Its success in restoring nerve strength
and building up the wornout body repaid
the years OF study and investigation
that Prof Phelps conscientiously devoted
to the diseases of the stomach and tho
kidneys, the result Of impure blood and
impoverished nerves. The astonishing re-
suits that have come from its careful use
have been the subject of discussion IN all
the prominent newspapers and magazines
in this country, Canada and throughout
Great Britain.
Tho record of this great blood cleanser
from the time of its discovery up to the
present day, has been n marvellous one
1t has cured literally thousands of cases
of nervous debility, rheumatism, kidney
and heart troubles and has made sound
sleep possible to countless mon and
women whose irritable and Impoverished
nerves were slowly draining the III of
vitality.

LIVELY EVENING SESSION.
A Southerner "CaIIed Down" by His Demo-
cratic Colleagues and He Deserved II.

There was an unusually large atten-
dance upon the night session, which was
devoted to the consideration of private
pension bills. Springer asked favorable
action upon Senate bill to grant pension
of 500 a month to Major General John
\. McClcrnand.
Jones made the point Of no quorum.
Springer criticised with severity the
course of those of his Southern colleagues
who persisted in maintaining the attitude
of hostility toward the pensioning Of
Union soldiers He said but 13 Demo
Gratis were returned to the 5Ith Congress
from the Northern states and if this
course was not changed there would be
no Northern Democrats in the succeeding
Congress.
Pence appealed to Jones to withdraw
his point. and referred to Gen. McCler-
nand's gallant conduct and high reputa-
ton for patriotism.
Waugh asked if this was the same Gen.
McClernand removed from his command in
front of Nicksburg by Gen. Grant for I'M
soldierly conduct, and of whom Gen. Hal
leck wrote it would be murder to give him
IA command?
Marsh declared with passionate earnest
ness that Gen. McClernand was never
guilty Of unsoldierly conduct
Did not Gen. Grant remove him for
causes which he deemed proper" contin-
ued Waugh.
Il do not desire to reflect upon Gen.

while he acted for reasons that seemed
proper at the time, his action was a mis-

Jones attacked the policy of picking

$500 Loss-lnsured.

Watervillc, Jan. 1l.-(Special).- About
s 80 this evening, fire was discovered in
the rear of tn" City hotel. An alarm was
rung in from box 80, and when the depart
ment arrived there was blind fire to
handle, for it was in the walls of the
building and extended from the ground
to the top of the walls.
The origin Of the fire was a grounded
electric light wire, caused by ice freezing
from the wire to the building, and so to
the ground. which ignited the wood near
the sills Of the building. Two lines of
hose were laid.
The builling was considerably damaged
by water and smoke, and also by cutting
away timbcrs to allow water to be played
on the fire.
The loss is hard to estimate, but will
probably be $500 or more; insured.
