Washington City Notes.

The Senate shows a determine
ton to interfere in Cuban affairs
Resolutions have been introduced
and stirring appeals made by mem
bers of the upper house in behalf
of the insurgents. One of the reso
lutions calls for belligerent recog
milton, another seeks information
as to what obligations the United
States has assumed by compelling
Cuba to remain subject to Spain, the
third asks the President to transmit,
the Gomez letter, and the fourth
protests in strong terms against the
reported purpose of the Spanish
Government to put to death the
brave Rivera.
There was an exciting debate in
the Senate, Monday, over the duty
of America as to Cuba and in the
case of General Rivera. Senator
Allen Pop. of Nebraska intro.
duced the following resolution pro.
testing against the execution of the
Cuban leader:
Whereas, Information has come to the
Senate that General Ruis Rivera, leader
of the Cuban army of independence, re-
Gently captured by the Spanish forces, is
to be tried by drum head court martial
and shot. Therefore,
Resolved, That in the judgment of the
Senate it is the duty of the President OF
the United States, if such information be
found to be true, to protest to the Span
ish government against such a violation
of the rules of Spanish warfare.
Mr.. Allen, in a speech following
the presenting of the resolution, was
bitter in his denunciations and said
the war as conducted by Spain was
war of rapine, rape, and devasta.
ton; and he declared, passionately
that if he held the power of landing
American soldiers on the island OF
Cuba and of putting the American
navy in Cuban waters, he would
| grind Spain into infinitely small
pieces. He said when any great ma,
ton resorted to cruelty and barbar-
ity to subdue a people fighting for
liberty and independence, it was the
duty of the American republic to
take cognizance of it and to put an
end to it at the shortest possible
date.
After some opposition to the res
olution by Senator Hoar of Massa'
chusetts, it was modified and then
adopted by a unanimous vote.

Haunted /!

The human tenement is often haunted
to the grievous discomfort OF its possessor
by those malignant spirits, constipation
and billiousness. But the abominable pair
may be speedily driven out with the petent
helm of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This
genial alternative, while it relieves the
bowels and regulates the liver, never, as
drastic purgative does, produces violent
effects and weakens the intestines. On the
contrary, the action of the Bitters is pre-
cisely analogous to an effort Of nature
seeking to resume her proper functions.
This furnishes pretty conclusive evidence
that it is better to use persuasive means,
so to speak, than to endeayor to coerce ma
ture to q return to duty. Violent remedies
produce only a temporary. effect. followed
by hurtful reaction. For indigestion,
malarlal aud kidney complaints. rheuma-
tism and nervousness, the Bitters takes
highest rank among remedies of the philo-
sophie school.

Simple Ore Tests.

The following simple tests will
show whether an ore carries any
precious metals. Afterwards sam
Piles of the rock should be assayed
to ascertain the amount of value
per ton:
Gold-Powder; roast if sulphu
rets are present; grind very fine
and wash in pan or spoon examine
with lens; yellow particles not solu-
BILE in nitric acid. The color of pure
gold is bright yellow, tinged with
red. Gold may be distinguished
from all other metals or alloys by
the following simple traits: 1t is
yellow, malleable, not acted upon
by nitric acid.
Silver-Pure silver is the bright
est of metals. of beautiful white
color and rich luster.
Chloride of Silver-If suspected
in a pulp, harshly rub a bright and
wet copper cartridge thereon. If q
chloride or chloride-bromide Of sill
yer, it will whiten the copper.
Grsphite will thus whiten copper
or gold but can be rubbed off.
Copper-Afser roasting the pulp,
intimately mix and we'll knead with
like quantity of salt and candle
grease or any other fat, aud cast
into the fire when the characteristic
colors-frst blue, then green-will
appear. This test is better made at
night.
Galena-Black zinc blend is often
mistaken for galena. The two may
be distinguished by the infallible
sign: the powder of galena is black
that of blende, brown or yellow

If the Spanish try General Rivera

If the Spanish try General Rivera
by head court martial and
condemn him to death, they will
violate the rules of civilized warfare,
one of which requires that a cap
tured enemy be treated humanely,
and either exchanged or returned to
his friends at the close of the strug-
gle and the settlement of peace.
The Cuban leader is as much enti-
tied to humane treatment as was
any Confederate officer who fell into
Federal hands during the Civil War.
The United States Government will
certainly not tolerate the brave Ri
vera being shot down like a mad dog
to crafty the blood-thirsty Span
iards for no other ofense than that

OF Interest to Women.

The odor of the sweet pea, &C.
cording to a contributor to the
Medical Record, lis so offensive to
flies that it will drive them out of
the sickroom, though it is not usu-
ally in the slightest degree disagree
able to the patient" 1t is, there
fore, recommended that sweet peas
be placed in the sick room during
fly time.
An authority on physical training
for women gives the following di-
rections for securing the best re-
suits, which naturally must be mod
flied by individual characteristics
and circumstances "Sleep nine
hours out of the twenty-four, battle
in cold water. exercise five minutes
daily with light dumb-bells, drink
a cup of hot liquid before breakfast,
spend halt an hour every day in
outdoor exercise, make the best OF
bad bargains and always keep your
temper.
Sleeves have decreased in size,
but the saving of the material
gained is nothing compared to the
extra amount called for by the ruff
fees and founces to be put on sum-
mer gowns. Frills of lace, count
less ruffles and ribbons galore will
be the essential adjuncts of spring
and summer costumes.
Spiced apples are appetizing and
excellent to have with meats at this
season when the supply of home
made pickles and relishes have dis.
appeared. Make syrup of equaI
parts of vinegar, water and sugar
add a little cayenne pepper, few
whole cloves and some pieces o.
stick cinnamon. Peel the apples and
cut them into quarters or eighths
put them into the liquid syrup and
cook until tender. Remove the
apples with skinner and boil the
syrup until thick aud turn over the
cooked fruit.
A sudden and wearing attack O
coughing often needs immediate at
tention, especially in consumptives
and those chronically ill. In ar
emergency, that ever useful remedy
hot water will often prove very ef
fective. 1t is much better than the
ordinary cough mixtures, which
disorder the digestion aud spoil the
appetite. Water almost boiling
should be slipped when the parox
ysms come On. A cough resulting
from irritation is relieved by ho'
water through the promotion O.
secretions, which moistens the irri
tated surfaces. Hot water also pro
notes expectoration, and so relieves
the dry cough.-Popular Science

Retributlon Overlook Him.

Less than four years ago Scott
Jackson, who was hanged in Ken
lucky recently for the murder OF
Pearl Bryan, was under arrest in
Jersey City, charged with embez-
cling $25, 900 from a railway freight
office in which he was employed.
Jackson turned States evidence
and implicated fellow employr
named Let's, who was sent to the
penitentiary, while Jackson himself
was released.
At the trial, remarks the Chicago
Times Herald, the attorney repre-
senting Let's paid his respects to
the informer in terms which seemed
singularly pathetic in the light OF
recent events. He said:
"To day the arm of the prosecutor may
be sufficient to protect you against the
punishment you so we'll deserve, but
while you are enjoying immunity from
that there is higher law than the statute
of New Jersey. There is stronger
power than the arm of the prosecutor.
There is law of retributiOn. Sooner or
later, somewhere and at some time, that
law of retribution, merciiess and inexori-
BILE, will overtake you and you will then
receive the just punishment which you
now evade."
Justice, they say, travels with a
leaden heel; but the criminal who
slipped through her fingers in New
Jersey in 1898 slipped through d
hangman's trap in Kentucky four
years later.
