JUST 80 VOTES.
All That Could be Rallied Under
the Free Coinage Flag.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-The ma
jority against silver in the House
to-day when the final vote was taken
on concurrence in the Senate free
coinage amendment was larger than
that of Yesterday in committee of
the whole. Yesterday the motion to
concur was defeated 100 to 80, q
majority of 110; to-day it was beaten,
215 to 80, a majority of 1926. The
vote to-day was a record making
vote and counting the pairs but 81
out of 1856 members were unaccount-
ed for. Perhaps a few absentees
lodged, but most of them were
unavoidably absent and were unable
to secure pairs. The silver men,
who yesterday predicted a much
greater showing Of strength to-day,
were again disappointed. The
''sound money leaders had been
disposed to concede the silver
forces 100 votes.
An analysis of the vote. to-day
shows that 1874 Republicans and 81
Democrats voted against stconcurrence

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets lnflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to itsnormal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur

THAT is nice little bill presented
to the state for liquidation-$30, 900 in

employed made the most of their op-

The hero Of the Russo Turkish war of
1877 was General Skobelef, the white
general, " as oil called him, the "intelligi-
Bile general, as some Of his devoted Rus
sian soldiers named him. His great
strength lay In his power over his private
soldiers He was their oomrade as well as
their officer, says tho author.of Russia
and Turkey Inthe Nineteenth Century,"
and was never weary in seeing that his
men were well fed, warmly clothed and
comfortable. Countless incidents are told
Of Skobeleff,s kindness-how he would
take wounded soldier beside him In his
carriage, or fling his cloak over another as
he lay on the ground, or how he would
dismount from his white charger, and
march with weary regiment, royiying
its spirits with gay talk.
Skobeleff always wore q white coat and
rode a white horse, that he might be con-
spiouous TO his own men during battle.
He went everywhere, exposed himself.
His soldiers believed him invulnerable.
Ono wounded soldier solemnly assured
sister of mercy that he had seen the bullet
that shattered his own arm pass through
the body of his general.
~ must show my men how badly the
Turks aim," he said once when standing
as target to the enemy.
Cruelty to horse was almost as abhor-
rent to Skobelef as brutality to man.
When ordered to retreat no would sheathe
his sword, send his white charger to the
front, and remain on foot the last man in
the rear, saying, "They may kill mo II
they like, but they shall not harm my
horse unless he is advancing against the
enemy"
mo man can feel comfortable In facing
death, " he has been heard to say, "who
does not believe in God and have hope of
life to come. " Each evening in the
camp he stood bareheaded, taking part in
the evening service, which was chanted by
30 or go of his soldiers.

MRS. CLEVELAND POPULAR.
She Is the Best Liked Woman in
the United States To-Day
Every Woman Admires
-.---,- Her Style.

Mrs. Cleveland's frequent social
appearances lately have shown very
clearly that the strong fascination
which her presence always exerted
among woman has not lessened the
veriest jot. She is the most interest
ing woman in this country to-day in
not only every possible way, but
particularly in the fact that people
never tire of looking at her. No one
was ever yet heard to say that he
had been able to watch her quite as
long as he would have liked. A great
many people now know herintimate-
Iy and are able to see her frequently;
but for the great majority, to whom
this intimacy is denied, the only op-
portunities come with the important
functions at the White House.
At Mrs. Cleveland's tea perhaps
1000 women had the pleasure of
shaking hands with her, and, at the
same time, enjoyed a little chat. 1t
would have been hard to find any
woman in all this number who, after
this enjoyment, did not find some
point from which she could stand and
feast her eyes again on her hostess.
Every detail of her appearance, every
word she said was discussed and ad-
mired.
Don't you think she is handsomer
than ever?'' says one.
II wish | could wear. my hair as
simply arranged as Mrs. Cleveland, y
says another, while still another
chimes in with: "She seems to fasci-
nate. l can't take my eyes from her. "
So it went, the same admiring COM
ments and the same pleasure taken
in even looking at her, as everybody
remembers so vividly the first years
of her residence in the White House
In evening dress Mrs. Cleveland is
the handsomest woman to-day in
Washington. She has beautiful
neck and well-rounded shoulders,
and, with the sparkle of her jewels,
makes picture of a White House
mistress which is simply regal. Her
smile is contagious, for her manners
are always agreeably gracious. 81

TO CATCH g. A. r.. VOTES.
Republicans to Press q Pension
Bill Cleveland Us Sure to
$500 Veto.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IS.-Chairman
Pickler of the House Committee on
Invalid Pensions has compressed in
to q bill of twenty sections all the
complaints which the Republican
statement have made against the ad-
ministration of the Pension laws by
Commissioner Lochren. He will
bring it before the House in q few
days. Nearly every section Of the
measure overthrows some ruling Of
the Pension Bureau now in force. One
pensions soldiers and their widows
and orphans, Notwithstanding prior
service by the soldier in the Confed-
crate army or navy. Section 2 for
bids the reduction or discontinuance
of pension except for fraud, clerical
error or mistake of fact. Another
section provides for rehearings upon
the question of reduction or discon-
tinuance of a pension, and grants to
the pensioner the right TO be heard,
to ross-examine witnesses and to re-
but evidence against his right to hold
a pension.
Section II makes the eommon-law
presumption of death after the lapse
of seven years rule in the admins
tration of the Pension laws. A sec
ton provides ''that all pensions re-
duced or discontinued and all claims
for pension or increase rejected
since Jan. Z, 1899, shall, upon appli-
cation, be reconsidered and adiudi-
Gated in accordance with the provi-
sions of this act, and the pension. If
restored or allowed, shall commence
from the date of such reduction or
diseontinuance. or from the date
subsequent to the filing of the reject
ed application at which the disability
is shown by the evidence to have
existed"
Section 1S provides that the terms
without other means of support or
daily labor" employed in the act of
1890 shall be held to mean without
a net income of $500 per annum." In
nearly every section of the bill some
bar which the Pension Bureau has
put up to protect the Treasury from
unjust pension claims is thrown down.
The bill is so framed as to meet the
wishes of every Republican Repres-
entative who has a lot of Grand
Army votes behind him, and there is
no doubt of its speedy passage
through committee and House. If
necessary the committee on Rules
will bring in an order for it's consider
alton in the House after it has been
reported.
The bill may not escape amend
ment in the Senate, but the prospect
is that it will be passed by that body
substantially in it's present form. The
do not expect it to be-
come law. 1t is so deliberate an
attack upon the pension policy of the
that they have no
doubt Mr.. Cleveland will vetoit when
it shall reach him. The object, there
fore, of pushing the bill is to make
the Democratic administration of fthe
Pension laws a fighting issue in the
campaign. That is to
say. the bill is chockful of politics.

HISTORY OF THE EXPEDITION.
When DIR. Fritjof Nansen's stanch

the ways at Laurwik, Norway, on
October 26. 1899, she showed one
of the gayest hulls. that ever dipped

the explorer said, and his order was
carried out. Above the water-line
her hull was of gray, the gunwale
was OF vivid green, while the poop
and the great tanks for water and
petroleum were painted a bright
scarlet. The crows nest and the
saloon were white, while the doors
were finished in red and green
