Richest Member of Congress,

The richest member of the next
house will he Charles Sprague,
who will take General Draper's
place as representative from the
eleventh Massachusetts district.
"Charlie Sprague" is the name
he usually goes by, and lie is as
c0mpanlOnable as he is wealthy.
A few years ago "Charlie" Sprague
was a young lawyer in BOSTON,
with a fair income from his profes-
sion, a somewhat larger income
from his inheritance, and a repu-
tation as a society swell. He was
the Franklin Bartlett of the Hub,
"a cotillion leader, and light in
the swagger set.
Then he married into the Weld
estate. His wife had $4,000 600 in
her own right. The day of the
wedding she gave "Charlien a mod.
est check for 100000 aud lie
has been gr,wing wealthy on his
own account ever since. He is a
level headed fellow, has made
something of record in the state
legislature, aud he will cut a figure
in Washington society. The ORA
pers have been noted for the
sweetness Of their social functiona,
but the Spragues ale likely to
eclipse them Washington Post.

ton was considered necessarily fatal dis
ease twas considered incurable. As soon
as it developed enough so that physician
could decide that it was really consumption,
the patient was considered as good as dead.
Years ago. DR.. Pierce found out that con.
sumption was not incurable, that it was not
necessarily fatal He not only found this
out, but he found out way to cure con-
sumption He introduced his Golden
Medical Discovery" The Discover"
will cure % per cent of all cases of con-
sumption If it is taken according to direc-
tons. Consumption is disease Of the
blood. 1t is caused by impoverishment of
the blood, and by the existence of disease
germs in the system. If the body is per
fectly strong and healthy, and the blood
perfectly pure, germs are easily thrown off.
If the body is weak, if the tissues are in.
capable of much resistance, the germs find
a resting place and develop. That's the
way consumption begins.
The Golden Medical Discovery !"
searches out the germs, forces them out
of the system and cures consumption and
other kindred diseases of the throat, bron-
CHA aud lungs. No doubt about it, no ques-
tion AbSut il It has done it in hundreds

Bright skies and brilliant sunshine were
the fitting accompaniments of the grand in
augural parade in Washington yesterday.
The rain of Wednesday was followed by a
perfect March day-clear, cool, crisp, in
vigorating, with a blue sky diversified by
fleecy clouds. The parade ITSELF composed
of from forty to fifty thousand men, was a
striking spectacle, and was viewed by
throngs of sightseers, who crowded the
streets and houses and temporary stands
along the route. The decorations of Penn
sylvania avenue were never so profuse and
effective. The enthusiasm of the people
manifested itself in continuous cheers as
the carriage containing the retiring and in
coming Presidents passed along going to
and returning from the Capitol 1t is es-
tmated that fully 10000 people witnessed
the administration Of the oath of Office to
President Mckinley

The Cabinet as Finally Made Up.

Col. j. j. McCook of New York who, it
was expected week ago would enter Pres
ident McKinley's cabinet as secretary of
the interior, declined the invitation because
that position was not to his taste After
his arrival in Washington Maj, Mckinley
succeeded in persuading Cornelius n. Bliss
of New York to reconsider his refusal to
enter the cabinet, and it is understood that
the nomination, for his official family which
President Mckinley will send to the Senate
today, will be the following:
Secretary of state-John Sherman of Ohio.
Secretary Of the treasury-Lyman j. Gage Of
Illinois
Secretary OF. .war-Russell A. Alger of Michigan.

The New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad company loses in its fight
against the New York law forbidding the
use of stoves in railroad cars. The com
pany held that it was not amenable to this
law because its lines lay outside the state
of New York and only ran a short distance
in that state to its terminal in New York
city. The company was defeated in the
state courts and took the case to the Unit
ed States supreme court, which now holds
that 'it was competent for the state to pro-
vide for the safety of passengers both in
cars running on railroads within the state
or coming into the state from another
siate.N

10000 people, and these were densely
packed. The entire route from the White

Not Enacted.

A Washington despatch says this divi-
sion scheme was not enacted because Presi-
dent Cleveland did not sign the sundry
civil appropriation bill to which it was at
tached as a rider. This bill and the In
dian, agricultural, and general deficiency
appropriation bills all reached the Presi-
dent too late to receive his signature, and
therefore failed of enactment.

President Cleveland sent to Congress
Tuesday a message yetoing the immigra-
tion restriction bill. This bill proposed,
in its main section, to prohibit the mmi-
grafton to this country Of all persons over
Ii years Of age who cannot read or writo
the English language or some other Ian
guage. But there were provisions for per
hitting the entrance of dependent relatives
who cannot read or write when accom-
panied by person capable Of supporting
them. Mr.. Cleveland objects to the bill
on the ground that immigration has
brought great advantage to the country in
the past, and he believes this bill would
discriminate against a poor but honest and
industrious class OF immigrants, and in IA
vor Of class of educated agitators who
are the worst enemies OF the workingmen.

the fireworks were exceptionally fine. For
the first time in the history of the govern
