A Novel Scheme.

CHICAGO, Ill, December 23,-Miss
Marian B. Baxter, WHO was 6 ected
national financial agent of the w, G.
T. Z. at the Buffalo convent on, has
hit upon novel scheme for creating
the fund with which to put temperance
missionaries in the feld. She proposes
that all the women in the union shall
go through their trunks and chests
and d, awers and bring to light dust
covered Old coins, old family silve-,
confederate scrip, rare bits of old ch ina
with history, rare postage stamps,
books older than the century and oth r
antiquities. These, it is suggest },
shall be conse rated by the family to
missionary work and then forwarded
to headquarters lee. When the &C
cumulation is large enough or valuable
enough an effort will be made to sell it
to some museum or to distribute it
among private col ectors of antiquities
1t is b lieved that by this novel scheme
a large sum could be raised without
the pocket books of the donors being
affected. The suggestion is made to
the temperance women of Canada, as
we'll as these of this country.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

At this time of the year cold is
very easily contracted, and if let to run
its course without the aid of some
reliable cough medicine is liable to re-
suit in that dread disease, pneumonia.
We know of no better remedy. to cure
a cough or cold than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. We have used it quite
extensively and it has always given en-
tire sfaction.-Oolagab, Ind. Ter.
Chief.
This is the only remedy that is
known to be certain preventive of
pneumo MIA. Among the many thou
sands who have used it for colds and la
grippe we have never yet learned of
single case having resulted in pneumo-
mia. Persons who have weak lungs or
have reason to fear an attack of pneu-
monia, should keep the remedy at
hand. The 25 and SO cents size for sale

No Women Attended.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December %
There is said to be strong feeling in
the Methodist church over the fact
that the recent copgress.in PtttsbuE +,
which was the first gathering of the
kind held under the auspi es of the
denomination. not solitary woman
figured on the programme, nor was
the attendance or participa-
tion Of women invited
Although this was in strict harmony
with Methodist policy, which
does not re :ogpize or countenance the
activity of women, except when that
activity is manifested in the way of or
CARNATIONS TO raise money for the
church or it's missions, it is yet held
that in as much as the recent congress
was one untrammeiled by denomip a.
tiora1 regulations; it would have been
strictly within tr e laws and the pro-
perties and would have cOotri buted
much to its success to have invited the
participation of the leading Methodist
women of the country. 1t is probable
that some actian will be taken on the
matte + at the annual convention of the
Won ans Suffrage association to be
held here next month.

THE CITY'S RETRENCHMENT.

Mes-rs. Morehead. aKrakauer and
Dieter, the retrenchment committee
of citizens appointed by the city coun-
Gill; have beeu working hard for we elk
past in formul aiing a plan to govern
the city's expenditures for the ensulr g
year. Just what the committee will
recommend is not yet known. but
rumors sfioat say that they will report
in favor of retrepchment all along the
lire of the city's administration, and
will recommend the shaving of salar-
basket of several official heads:
while several offices will be
mere ed into one and under one official
head, but just where he knife will cut

city without ladders for entering the
UPPER stories in buildings and will
leave pc ople who sre caught on second

out mears of escape unless they jump
or lei themselves down with ropes.
The hook and ladder truck is the only

partment, and while it has rot yet
been called into use for such purposes,
it may be required a any time.
Under the present financial strains it
is necessary for the city to retrench,
but it would be far more satisfactory
to the tax payers if the political officers
were cut off, and the fire department,
which saves the tax payers money
in premiums on fire assurances, were
let alone. 1t may cost something to
ID ain tain the departme mt, but in the
end the tax PAYERS save money. just
as soon as the hook and ladder truck is
cut off insurance rates will go up and
real tax payers will pay the freight"
