lo.Days, Trip to Washington.

Everybody expects to visit Wash
ington some time: In fact, it is a
duty every one owes to himself.
What Rome was to every soldier of
the empire, what Athens was to the
Greek. Washington is and should be to
every citizen of the United States
his glory, his pride, his inheritance;
it belongs to him; all its magnifcence,
all its glory, all its fame. its public
buildings, paintings, statuary, its
monuments, its gardens, its Libraries,
its museums, its streets, its parks,
and he ought once and while take
look at it. Congress now being in
session will add additional interest to
the city, already teeming with at
fractions.
The B. & o. announces another OF
those popular excursions for Thurs
day, May 6. The tickets will be valid
ten days, and good for trip to Balti-
more and return at any time within
the limit.

A Question.

The publisher of newspaper has
one thing to sell. one thing to rent.
He has the newspaper TO sell and the
space in his columns to rent Can
anyone inform why he should be cx-
pected to give away either one or the
otherp He can IL he so chooses, and
he does, as matter Of fact, furnish
great deal Of space rent free. But it
does not follow that he ought to be
expected to do so. II ought to be
recognized as contribution. exactly
as would be the giving away OF sugar
or coffee by grocer. But strange to
say it is not looked upon in thatlight
at all, yet everybody knows that the
existence OF newspaper depends up
on the rent of its space aud the sale OF
the paper, as the merchants success
depends on selling his goods instead
Of giving them away.--Isx.

Smoke as a Lightning Rod.

There exists an old saying among
peasants that when storm is APP
preaching, fire should be built in
the stove. with as much smoke as pos
sible.
In recent article by Shuster in the
Philadelphia Press he shows that this
custom is rational one, as the prod
ucts of combustion and the smoke act
as very effective conductor to dis
charge the electricity slowly but sure
iy. He quotes from statistics show
ing that out OF every one thousand
accidents. 6.3 churches and 8.5 mills
were struck by lightning, while the
number of chimneys of factories was
only one in every three thousand.

LAssIE's WAY.

%, down in the meadow the air was
sweet
With breath of blooming clover
The blue-eyed grasses were kissing her
feet
And an azure sky bent over;
But Mary's heart had burden OF woe,
A burden she sought to cover
With smile and song, lest the world
should know
She had loved and lost her lover.
Each daisy was nodding her snowy head,
And zephyr stirred the grasses;
Sir bobolink, saucily laughing, said:
otis ever the way with lassies,
They think that quarrel when once be-
gun
Can be as easily ended;
But laddies are lost, as laddies are won,
Sometimes when It's least intended"
But down through the meadow young
Arthur came
And the laughing skies bent over;
The zephyrs whispered maiden 3 name
And a tremor stirred the clover.
Though he spoke no word, yet he kissed
her brow
In spite of the Gliding grasses,
And bobolink whistled, Just see her now
It's ever the way with lassies"

The death Of Representative Milli-

Senator Allison, who is a member

mittee- by the way, this sub-commit-
tee IS not taking any holiday either
night or day this week--gave caller
a good idea of the manner in which
the work of revision is being done,
when he said; Here is letter from
a manufacturer of backing. How
many ingredients do you suppose
there are that enter into its manufac-
turee Well, more than a dozen.
Some of these ingredients have been
transferred from the free to the duti-
able lists. Some have had the rates
increased and some decreased. Each
article has a direct bearing on this
mans business. He writes us that
backing is sold in packages of
certain size, which cannot we'll be
varied; also that most of the backing
is imported from France, and that the
industry in this country is III its
infancy, but is making fair progress.
If we retain the House rates on GER
tain ingredients he mentions, he asks
that we also make small increase on
backing and suggests that it will be
easier to do this than to change the
rates on the dozen articles which
enter into his product His request
does not seem unreasonable, does it.
if the facts are as he states1 Well,
we have looked into the rates on every
one of the ingredients mentioned and
their bearing on his product. and
find his statement correct. That is
the way we are doing our work on the
tariff bill. and think it is better titan
odo this man an injustice and possibly
give his business to the French
manufacturers. The subcommittee
expects to complete its work on the
bill this week, and it is hoped that
the bill can be reported to the Senate
next week.

Haunted

The human tenement is often
haunted-to the grievous discomfort
of its possessor--by those malignant
spirits, constipation and biliousness.
But the abominabie pair may be
speedily driven out with the potent
help Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
This genial Alternative, while it re-
lieves the bowels and regulates the
liver, never, as drastic purgative
does, produces violent effects and
weakens the intestiues On the CON
trary, the action of the Bitters is pre-
cisely analogous to an effort Of ma
tdre seeking to resume her proper
functions. This furnishes pretty
conclusive evidence that 1t is better
to use persuasive means, so to speak,
than to endeavor to coerce nature to
a return to duty. Violent remedies
produce only temporary effect, fol-
lowed by hurtful reaction. For in
digestion, nalarial and kidney COM
plants, rheumatism and nervousness,
the Bitters takes the highest rank
among remedies of the philosophic
school,

PERFECTINu THE TARIFF BILL.
Tbs President Expects to Modify Civil
Service Rules.

service kuieS.
From our Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, April 26.-Washing-
ton isn't dedicating the Grant
Monument, but it is sending over to
New York some of the most prominent
persons who will take part in or view
the dedicatory ceremonies. President
Mckinley and his Cabinet, the
Diplomatic Corps, the Supreme Court,
Mrs. Grant and members of the Grant
family, and delegation of prominent
Army and Navy officers and their
families went on one special train
today. The Senate and House Com
mittees, which go as the official
representatives of the legislative
branch of the Government went on
regular trains and to suit individual
convenience, but the members will
meet and remain together during the
ceremonies. Many other Senators
and Representatives have also gone, as
it wasagreed before hand that no bust
TESS whatever should be transacted at
the meetings OF the House and Senate
today, and those to be held on Thurs
day, they being held merely to comply
with the constitutional requirement
as to the length of time that either
branch Of Congress may adjourn
without the adoption Of concurrent
resolution.
1t is expected that President Nc
Kinley will shortly modify the civil
service rules. He has had an extend
ed conference with the Civil Service
Commission. Secretary Wilson stated
before the Senate subcommittee,
which is investigating the workings
of the civil-service law and rules, that
the present rules hampered him in
selecting efficient scientific subordi-
mates, and in written communica-
ton, Secretary Gage expressed the
opinion that modification of the
rules would be beneficial to his de-
partment.
Representative Dorr, of West Vir-
ginia, has introduced a bill for the
outright repeal OF the civil-service
laws, and he declares his intention to
do everything he possibly can to get
the bill acted upon.
Nothing could better illustrate
President McKinley's idea of the
relations that should exist between
the Federal administration aud the
public than the official announcement
of the selection Of Judge VIM. R.
Day, of Canton Ohio, to be First
Assistant Secretary of State, and Ex-
Representative Bellamy Storer, of
Ohio, to be U. S. minister to Belgium,
three days before their nominations
were sent to the Senate. President
Mckinley believes that as soon as
anything has been determined upon,
the people have right to be informed
of it, and act accordingly.
Secretary Wilson is much pleased
with the reception of his effort to
increase the culture of sugar bets in
those sections of the country where
the climate and soil seems to indicate
success with this crop. So great has
been the demand for the seeds that
the large supply contracted for by
Secretary Wilson when he first took
