In The Senate the urgency deficiency bill

Democrats to hold Il caucus.
The committee amendment appropriating
S220.5 800 for fees and expenses of the
united States narShals and deputies, pro-
Hoked discussion in which the whole fee
system was denounced rs not only an out
rage, but standing disgrace to Congress,
for allowing IL 10 exist. Tie Indian Terri

TO the Senator from New Hampshire. The
bill went over without final action.
a bill for tie admission of Arizona as

Mr. Hale, Rep. Maine, asked unanimous
consent 10 have AIKEN up and passed the bill
reported today for the observance of the
12th OF February tLincoln's birthday, as
a national holiday
Mr. Hill, DEM, New York, said that he
had intended TO propose an amendment TO
the bill, bIt he would not do SO now, and
would introduce q separate bill to create
Jackson's birthday, the Sth of January, a
national holiday.
Mr.. Hale thought that it would be very
! fitting and graceful thing 10 pass the bill
today, this being the 18th of February.
Mr.. Hawley, Rep, Connecticut, said that
he did not wish to act unGraciously in the
| matter; but he was opposed to creating any
more national holidays. There was a
danger, he thought, of running into the
extreme like some Countries which had so
many Saints days that people were seriously
deprived OF opportunities 10 work. After

glass. The condition of all the body is
written in the face
Thousands of women are dragging out
a weary, miserable existence, because
they do not fully realize what is the
matter with them. They know that they
have female weakness" but they do
not really appreciate what that means.
They do hot know that to this one
trouble is traceable almost all of their
bodily ills They consider it disease
by itself, and if they have also neuralgia,
nervous headaches, biliousness, kidney
troubles and other things, they see 10
connection between them and the de-
rangements of strictly feminine nature.
Busy and overworked physicians often
treat these things as separate ailments,
when the whole trouble has the one
source. The reproductive organs are so
important a part of the body that when
they are' out of order, the whole system
is deTanged. Whatever illness a wo-
man has, she will do well to hook there
for the cause
A great many women knowingly neg
lect themselves, because they dread the
telling of their troubles to physician
and the subsequent examination and
local treatment" All this is needless

larity of functional action.

us during the year 1895 was S3.94 per
ton. Compare this with Pittsburs, Pa,
whereit is sold the companies fer less than
81 Cincinnati, from 81 10 81 .25 per ton;
Detroit, about S1.75 per Ton.
In most of northern cities coal is from 80
cents to 81 less than in Washin gton. Our
present contract for gas coals, as made IN
1895, comprises about $4,000 tons OF gas
coal, from 5000 to 10000 tons of anthra-
cite, and about 5000 tons ofsteIm coal. We
have no assurance that we can duplicate
the contract for the same price.
Bituminous Goals used by this company
are: Youshiogheny, Pa. cost $3.6 net per
ton; West Virginia, MonaDGah. $3.50 net
per ton; West Virginia, Despard. 50 so net

PUBLIC LAMPS.

The District government pays us S20.5O
per lamp per year, each lamp to burn 5000
hours, 6 cable feet per hour, or $4,000
cubic feet of gas per year. After deducting
cost OF maintaining lamps, namely lighting,
cleaning, extinguishing and repa ir ing
which is over $3.50 per lamp per annun,
it viii be seen that the remaining S16 is
the net amount for the 49, 900 feet of gas
burned, or SO cents per 600. The COM
pany receives . 5-s cents per night for each
lamp, less all expenses.

IL ihihaue'phia Amtii'"h'l
1t is pity that the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign relations cannot
agree to sink personal considera.
tions in the matter of a cable to
Hawaii, and report a bill which
will authorize the immediate con.
struetion of this highly necessary
line of communication between the
United States and the little Repub.
lie of the Pacific. The members oI
the committee are all agreed upon
the wisdom Of the bill before them,
the only point of difference being
as to which of the two companies
competing for the contract shall be
authorized to do the work. This
is not a question for Senators to
haggle over. They should have nc
favorite company, whose interests
they ever keep in mind. The in
terests of the United States alone
are to be considered, and approach
ing the question from this stand
point decision could be quickly
arrived at. This cable .is as i'm
portaut to both Of the nations
which it would connect as it is de-
sirable, and the strong demand
which exists for its construction
should meet with prompt recogni-
tion at the hands Of Congress, the
company most fitted to lay the

work.

Some time ago there was dance in o
Canadian settlement for the benefit of
the settlers and their wives. Most Of
the married ladies had babies with
them, whose noisy perversity required
too much attention to allow the ladies
the full swing Of their souls pleasure
in the dance So number of young men
present gallantly volunteered to watch
over the refractory infants, SO that their
mothers could indulge without let or
hindrance in the sweets Of the light
fantastic" exercise.
The gallant offer was readily and
confidingly accepted, but no sooner had
the women left their dear charges to
the care of those misohievous young ras-
Gals than they commenced stuffing tho
infants, changing the clothing and CIV
ing one the apparel of another. till all
were transmogrified.
The dance and the music continued
into the 1--WE sma' hours" and then it
was time to go home The lights were
lowered, and each mother hurriedly
took a baby, in the dress Of her own,
and started for home, which, In many
instances, was 10 or 10 miles away.
The following morning there was a
prodigious row in the settlement Moth
ers discovered what had occurred. and
then commenced some Of the tallest fe-
male pedestrianism ON record. Living
as they did miles apart, it required two
full days to unmix the babies and as
many months to restore the mothers to
their naturally sweet dispositions

DEEP-sEA TOWING.

Freighfs.
New YORK. April 3o.-The
Standard Oil Company during the
early summer months will make an
attempt to tow barge across the
Atlantic ocean from either New
York or Philadelphia to some Eng.
lish port, probably Liverpool.
This is a common method in the
freight carrying business on the
great lakes, but will be the first
attempt ever made to send freight
in that manner across the ocean.
The Standard Oil Company is led
to make the attempt by the succe. s
of two of its ocean-going barges in
the coast trade. One of these will
be sent across the ocean. The
barge is $50 feet long, about 40 feet
beam, and draws I6K feet Of water.
1t is fitted with twelve tanks, each
holding 1850 barrels, giving for the
whole barge carrying capacity OF
1000 barrels, which would max e
a total of 75o,ooo gallons. TIE
tank steamship Lackawauna will
tow the barge, and itself will have
a capacity of 800, 900 gall ons.
A new device will be employed
in the towing gear, aimed to lessen
the strain on the cable.
