No department at Washington just now So absorbs the attention of the peo- pie as the splendidly growing, formida- ble navy. It is not to the gold-laced Annapolis graduates that the brunt of the responsible work falls, but to the able department officials, of whom Dis bursting Officer F. H. Stickney is one. A letter from him says: -
 Having taken Flines celery compound for the last few weeks, I have found it a perfect spring remedy, and been much benefited by it."
 Spring is the decisive time in the life of every person out of health. It is an-a -as- sured fact that stubborn disorders be- come quickly curable in the spring. This is especially true of such persistent troubles as rheumatism, neuralgia and obstinate kidney diseases.
 No enc, sick or well, can afford to "try'' uncertain remedies in spring, or any other time.
 The dishonesty of many self-named spring remedies becomes stert.nngly ap-- parent when their results are compared with the results eSedined from this ac- curate, scier -lnc preparation, Paine's eel cry ar -.pound. The general practice ~emong careful people of purifying the

REACTION OF A FAD.

 It is pleasing to hear that in Brooklyn has been started new society, the mem bers of which will not be permitted. to mention great-grandfather or great grandmother without paying fine This organization is the idea of a young lady, who, while eligible to belong to the Daughters of the Revolution, and even to the Colonial Danes, is heartily weary of hearing about family records, relics and genealogical trees. It is a senti- ment many others can share, and the present nonsensical talk about ancestry will be purified by some such antidote, if it cannot be cured. The name chosen for this new. departure is the Parvenu Society and it's badge a mushroom, with "She cometh up es @ fiower' for the motto. Individuals with a taste for old silver and a conviction that they are descendants from venerable English stock need not apply for admission. How ever they may otherwise admire the liberality of this new society, these are sufficient reasons for declining the honor of their membership Of course. if mem

 It l-ls,xs as if thetre35ury of Spain were going down for the Gttrd and last time.
 The "popalar" loan of s5o,00O, GOO raised last fall has been exhaus ed, and where is the next lift coming from? The last much heI aided offe.tng of patriotism was largely wrurg from the banks and bank CTS by processes that are n-i- likely to be repeated.
 Since the insurrecthen began money has been raised in Cuba by devices in l.he way of forcsd lcar,s that even the most firmly entranched despots have seldom dared to resort to. Weyler issued $10, 100000 in paper money under the threat that whoever refused to Jake it should be peremptorily locked up and kept in prison.
 Forcing the people to take green gc-sn" in payment for sohd values can be made to go at prison doors and at the point of the bayone:, but the limit must finally be reached. Spain has gone ashore financially, and it most unlikely that she can ever again score popular out burst or pad Cuban credit with any more worthless papsr.
 No wonder her rulers, who understand the desperate financial strai:s in which the kingdom finds itself, are adopting conc,liatory course.
 They have no relish for more war particularly within the United States. What could Una, ms an to Spain but fnan- cial ruin and national humiliation?

THE PASSING OF THE MULE.

Once the mule was a leading feature in Kansas City business. He was actively engaged in the transportation business, civil and military, freight and passenger. He bore a part in the Santa Fe trade the first borhood When the war came his ser vices were indispensable It is doubtful if the country could have been saved without him. Victory perched on the side that had ths heaviest bat:alions, and also the heaviest mules. The intra mural transportation question was first settled ehere by the mule. He alone of created beasts could haul street cars up and down the early grades of Kansas City. He served long and well. No wonder his disposition grew somewhat irritable un- der the pressure of such constant re- sponsi biljty But now comes electricity to supersede him. Nothing less, than Hgh.nirg has knocked him out. The mule must seek other fields of usefulness and he will find them. The world Is full of work for mules to do and Mis- sourl w5ll continue to be first, the proud mule state of the union. But Kansas City people who would fain journey be- tween their own ct.iy and Rosedale and othen outlying points Will accept nothing less than the assistance of the latest power called in to do the worlds work rlhe electric flash.

PEOPLE DO READ THE PAPERS,

Some persons wonder why engaged psople generally prefer to keep their en- gagemepts as qulelt as possible until the day of the wedding. Perhaps the reason lies in the result of a newspaper an- nouneement.

It was in the las. edition of the paper, but early the next morning several avn ing makers were at the home of the fu- ture brides parents, soliciting the con- trac: for supplying an awning when the event came off. On the same morning ard in tha first mail no less than half a dozen printers and engravers sent sam pies of their work and quoted prices for which t..ey would be willing to prepare ttla wedding cards according to the la est ciot@tss of fashion. During the remain d-r of tthe week millina.s caterers, dress makers, Everymen, furniture dealers, hardware men and dry goods merchants made known their desire to supply the future bride and groom with all he cut fit that they nigh. need or imagine thsy needed.

DRAMATIC.

There is no truth in the reports that Lillian Lewis is going into vaudeville with a condensed version of "As In a Looking Glass" Offers have been made to Miss Lewis, but she has not accepted any of them. For the last six months this actress has been so i'll that her life was despaired of. When she closed her season in November she went to New Mexico and came back much improved, but her health is now go far from being restored that she will again go away, either to Colorado or Southern Califor- mia. She has had the best physicians in New York, bu. change of climate seems to be the only cure they can pre- scribe. Vaudeville agents booked tour of twenty weeks for Miss Lewis at $75o a week, and New York vaudeville man. agerS offered her very large salary.
