Poor EnGee6S

There are degrees and kinds of poverty, just as there are differences of opinion among those who compute and measure poverty and riches by different stand ards. Some deem themseyes poor be- cause they are less rich than,others again there are comparatively poor people who are satisfied with competence. There is kind of poverty for which no amount of wealth. can compensate, namely, a poverty of bodily stamina, evinced by nervousness and a derangement of the functions ef digestion, bilious secretion and the bowels. To restore vigor upon a permanent basis there is one remedy that fully covers the requirements, fills the bill, and this is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. By restoring digestion, giving healthful impulse to the action of the bowels and liver, and tranquillizing the nerves, it fulfills the condition necessary to a resumption of strength, by the system. It also overcomes malaria and rheumatism.

A Successful Woman Inventor.

The remarkable progress now being made by the New Women Is graphically Illustra ted in the recent success of Mrs. Lottie Cox. of Blue Springs, Nebraska, who has just been awarded prize of $l50. for the best and simplest invent tion subemitted to the patent firm of John Wedderburn & Co.,, of Washington, D 0.
 Mrs. Cox is the first woman who has been successful in these monthly com- petitions which have been in progre ss for the past year. The successful lady is forty years ofage and styles herself a "self-made woman." She was left widow at twenty, with two small chil- dren and thrown entirely on her own resources. While engaged in daily labor to support herself and children. she ex- perimented with various ideas and finally evolved a work table, supplied with numerous conveniences much appreciated by women. Although some what stiuted as to means, she bravely undertook to patent her invention and having submitted it to Messrs Wedder- burn 6 Co.,, in connection with their patent awards, received the prize of $50 in the February contest.
 Mrs. Cox declares she is much encour- aged at her success and hopes to follow 1t with the completion of other inven- tions now under way. This would seem to by most edifying example for the emulation of her sisters who are now absorbed in the epdeavor to initiate men in far less profitable enterprises.

School Entertainment.

An entertainment was given at As- sembly Hall, last Friday night, by the scholars and teachers of the public schools. The participants were the youngest scholars in the rooms of Misses Amelia Hunt and Olema Kemp. The programme consisted of songs. recitatlons, dialogues, drills. marches, etc. All the scholars acquitted them selves credltably, and showed that these little people can sustain 8 long and varied entertainment for aD entire evening. The most prominent features were flag drill by sixteen members of the A-B-C class, and tambourine march and drill led by Miss May Scott, which was very neatly executed by the twelve little misses participating. The recitations were all excellent, and the numerous dialogues were rendered in a manner that would do credit to those who are older. At the close, the audi ence was favored. with recitations from Miss Amelia Hunt and J. B. Richey.

What would happen should congress
pass the Cameron resolution over the

ton ia raised here. and there seems
to be no definite answer. The reply
hangs on whether the power to recog-

PEELED to execute ii. Morgan holds
that the power is legislative. but il in

ENLISTMENT OF MEN FOR cuBA.
Law L. Very Strict and Covers the Ground
Thoroughly.

Washington. Dec. 19.-The department
of justice has not yet received any
official information of the reported en-
listment of companies of men in diff
ferent parts of the country with the
view of joining the insurgent forces
in Cuba. The position taken by the
government in the Horsa case would
seem to govern in these cases. In the
Horsa case the contention of the gov
eminent was that the enlistment of
men in this country for service in
Cuba, either in behalf of the Spaniards
or the insurgents, was a high misde-
by a fine not exceed
ing 5000 and Imprisonment not more
than three years. Nor Is IL necessary
for a man actually to enlist. inasmuch
as the law inhibits citizens under the
penalties named above from enlisting
or entering themselves. or hiring. or
retaining another person to enlist. or
going beyond the limits or jurisdiction
of the United States with intent to
enlist as a soldier. or marine, or sea-
man, etc.
