THE FORMIDABLE UMBRELLA.
A French Tragedian Finds It Mightier
 Than the Sword,

Than the Sword.
 The affection of the collector for the objects of his zeal has been amusingly illustrated by story told of Melingue, a French tragedian who had a mania for gathering together great quantities of old vestments, arms and similar an- tique apparatus. Among his treasures was beautiful and keen-edged sword which had belonged to Philip H., son of Emperor Charles V.
 Having worn this sword in piece in which he was performing, Melingue was making his way homeward in Paris one night. The weather was rainy, and he carried an umbrella. Under his cloak he bore the precious sword of Philip 1T.
 Coming around a corner, Melingue was suddenly menaced by two sneak thieves. He was an expert fencer, and knew that with the sword he could quickly beat the rascals off. But he said to himself:
 What! Betray to these rascals that have such precious possession? No! They might be too much for me, after all, and then they would get it. I will keep it out of sight"
 So saying, he placed his left hand on the hilt of the sword inside his cloak, and with the other hand let down his umbrella. With this as weapon, he assaulted the footpads with such force and spirit that he put them to flight.
 In this case the umbrella turned out t0 be miphtier than the sword

STRONG ON ECONOMY.
A Young Philadelphia Husbands Attempt
 at Carpentering.

A newly-married man who had never had much experience in doing small jobs about the household, says the Phil
 adelphia Record, told several of his as
 sociates of his first attempt to gain his wife's approval by doing a favor for her.
 'sYou know I am very fond of dogs" said he. Well, purchased fine little fox terrier pup. and he was so full of ginger that he chewed up everything he could get at about the house, and nearly worried my wife's pet cat to death. Then she suggested that I get a carpenter to build pen in the yard for him. But was strong on the econ omy lay, and resolved to build the pen myself. The first thing I did was to order 12 feet of wire netting. It was

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale vet lat prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of a dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property.

ALLIANCE REPORTED,
But. London Denies That England
VIII Aid Cuba. ,

LONDON, March 25.-It is officially
denied here that Great Britain has in
timated that she would favor the active
intervention Of the United States In
Cuba.
CHICAGO, March PA special from
Washington says: Aid for Cuba has
come from an unexpected source. 1t
is said here that England will follow
the United States in recognizing the
Cuban patriots. An informal intima-
ton to this effect has been received at
the state department, and the status
of the Cuban question has changed
owing to this sudden development.
While Spain has been preparing for an
appeal to European nations against the
United States, Great Britain has quiet
" taken the other track and decided to
join with the United States in helping
Cuba. That such an intimation was
given out semi-officially was learned
positively last night. 1t is also thought
if the United States, with the moral
support of Great Britain, interferes in
the Cuban war, it will make the two
countries allies and hasten rather than
retard a favorable and friendly con-
cluson of the Venezuelan boundary
dispute.

Some Massachusetts Men Have
Poor Opinion of His Ability.
BOSTON, Mass, March 25.-Gen.
Buffers military career was severely
scored today when the bill providing
for the erection Of an equestrian
statue of him came up before the COM
mittee on ways and means, at the
state house. The opposition was called
upon today and Col. Thomas L. Liver
more spoke. He declared that Buffers
exploits were dwarfed by thousands Of
acts performed by other Massachusetts,
men. Butler did not lead the regiment
through Baltimore; he was in Philadel-
phia He did not seize Annapolis until
so ordered. From April 81 to May '64,
Gen. Butler never directed the move
ments Of man in the face Of the
enemy After that he directed the
army in but one battle, Drury,s Bluff,
and then he was compelled to retire.
Col Livermore also said the idea OF
commemorating exploits of this sort by
statues borders on the ridiculous. A
thousand men in the army would have
been just as good military commanders
at New Orleans and as efficient as pro-
vost marshal at New York. Among
the other remonstrants were J. Nal
colin Forbes, Gen. Francis A. Walker
John G. Ropes, Maj. Henry Higgin.

London Says Officially That England
Will Not Aid the Cubans In
Their Struggle.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The con-
ferees Of the two houses of congress on
the Cuban resolutions held another
meeting today. but again adjourned
without reaching a conclusion. They
went far enough, however, to justify
the belief that another session, which
will be held tomorrow. will be suffi-
cient to conclude the conference. The
indications favor the recession of the
house from it's position, and the accept
ance of the resolutions as they passed
the senate. The house members of the
conference are 10th to give up their
resolutions, but it is understood they
will do so if necessary to secure the
concurrence of the two bodies
Senator Camerons contribution to
the senate resolutions that the friendly
offices of the United States be offered
by the president to the Spanish govern
ment for the recognition of the indie
pendence of Cuba is antagoniZed by the
house conferees. one of whom said that
it would be equally diplomatic and
proper to offer friendly offices to Great
Britain for the attainment of Canada's s
independence. On the other hand, the
clause of the house resolutions looking
to intervention to protect the in
terests of the United States is opposed
by the senatorial side Of the confer
ence. Concerning the expression Of SYM
pathy with the insurgents and the
recommendation that the United States
should accord them belligerent rights
there was nc great controversy.
In case the senate resolutions are
accepted by the conference, the ques-
ton will again be thrown into the house
and in all probability more debate
may be had in that body when the con-
| ferees make their report. Several men,
bers are preparing speeches in antici-
patton of the opportunity. Cuba's most
ardent partisars on the foreign affairs
committee think the matter of words

that congress should present solid
front to the other nations in the matter

PLAT SAYS STOP
THE CONNECTICUT SENATOR
WANTS CONGRESS TO QUIT
EARLY IN MAY.
REFERRED WITHOUT DEBATE.
ACTION WILL DEFEND On THE
STATE OF THE APPROPRiA-
TION BILLS.
THE FEES OF DEPUTY MARsHAI.s.
A Spirited Debate in Which Mr.. Al
len, Mr.. George and Mr.. HOar
Took Part.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The first
reference to the adjournment of con-
gress came in the senate today in
formal resolution offered by Mr.. Plat
proposing an adjournment on May 2.
Mr.. Platt said his purpose was to call
attention at this time to the desir-
ability Of an early adjournment. The
resolution was referred to the appro-
priations committee, as any determina-
ton as to adjournment must depend
upon the condition OF appropriation
bills. The adoption e a resolution al
lowing eX-President Harrison to receive
decorations from Spain and Brazil was
postponed by an objection from Mr..
Allen POp). During the day Mr.. Cal
linger, of New Hampshire, proposed
an amendment prohibiting the United
States or any state from giving any
recognition or financial aid to any
church or religious institution. Most
of the day was spent on the legislative
appropriation BILL which is not yet
completed. The paragraphs substltut-
ing salaries for fees for United States
district attorneys and marshals were
agreed to after a lengthy discussion.
Both the floor Of the senate and the
galleries were we'll nigh deserted when
the session opened today, as there was
promise that the exciting Cuban debate
would give way to the routine of appro-
priation bills. After the transaction OF
some purely routine business, Mr. Platt
CRep.. Comm rose and said he thought
it about time to consider the question of
adjournment, and without further COM
ment offered the following written res
olution:
Resolved by the senate and the house
Of representatives that the president
of the senate and the speaker of the
house of representatives be authorized
to close the present session by adjourn
ing their respective houses on the sec
ond day of May, at o'clock p. m.
Without any further comment the
resolution was referred to the COM
mittee on appropriations, and the SEN
ate turned to the consideration of the
legislative appropriation bill. The queS-
ton Of reforming the fee system of
United States district attorneys and
marshals occasioned much debate. Mr.
Hoar opposed the change from fees to
salaries by means of an appropriation
bill as it was large subject needing
separate treatment. Mr.. Allen and Mr..
George attacked the pending measure.
Mr. Hoar responded warmly that the
senate could not waste It's time invest
igating the detail of the number of
deputy marshals in each of the sew
enty-seven districts in the United
States. If it did it would become a
laughing stock. If the government
could not trust the attorney general
with this duty then the American gov
ernment had better shut up shop and
apply to some Populist club to carry or
its affairs. After an extended debate
the salaries for district attorneys and
marshals were agreed to as reported
with a few minor changes
The legislative appropriation was moi
completed when at $50 the senate went
into executive session and soon after
adjourned.

Nicola Tesla Thinks He C-.n Send
Messages Through the Air.

NEW YORK, March 25.-Nicola Tes-
la, the we'll known electrician, said to-
day that he was satisfied that he had
a. machine which, when perfected,
would enable him to make practical eX
periments in distributing electric waves
about the earth so that messages might
be conducted to all parts of the globe
simultaneously. He believed that cleo
trio waves might be propogated
through the atmosphere and even the
other beyond, disturbance Of the
waves at any point being instantly felt
at every other point along them. He
declared that he believed that the
transmission of news about the earth
by electric waves in the place of wires
was no longer a dream.

A WEIGHTY
ARGUMENT

for the use of the Carlsbad Spru-
del Salt is that it goes to the
root of the disease, while other
remedies strike only at the
disease.
Notice the distinction.
For instance Pills and purga-
tives which act quickly upon the
bowels irritate and destroy the
mucous coats of the stomach
and bowels. A continued use of
such remedies produces chronic
inflammation of the stomach and
bowels. The use of the genuine
imported Carlsbad Sprudel Salt
is, therefore, highly recon-
mended because its action is due
solely to its constitutional SOL
vent and stimulating properties,
without irritating the stomach.
Be sure to obtain the genuine.

PLATT TELLS WHY.
He Sees No Reason Why Congress
Should Continue in Session.

WASHINGTON, March 25. = When
asked for his reasons for the introduc-
ton of his resolution for the adjourn
ment of congress, Senator Platt replied
that he had put in the resolution be-
cause he believed that congress could
complete all the business that it would
be able to do by that time. 'It is per-
fectly clear" he said. that there will
be no important legislation during the
session except that embraced in the ap-
preparation bills, and there is no rea-
son why those bills should not be dis
posed of in the six weeks allowed by the
resolution. see no reason for remain
ing here for the purpose Of introducing
and talking upon agitating resolu-
tions." The senator added that a large
majority of the senators favored early
! adjournment and that most of those
with whom he had talked thought 1t
| could be accomplished by the middle of
! May.
