EXTRA SESSION.
1t has been the uniform practice Of
each president to avoid. as far as possi-
b!e. the convening Of congress in ex-
traordinary session. II Is an example
which. under ordinary circumstances
aad in the absence OF a public necessity,
Is no. to be commended. But failure
10 convene the representatives, Of the
psupie in extra session when It involves
neglect Of a public duty. places the re-
sponsibility OF such neglect upon the cx-
scutive himself. The condition of the
public treasury, as has been indicated,
demands the immediate consideration OF
congress. 1t alone has the power to
provide revenues for the government.
Not 10 convene Il under such circum-
stances, 1 can view in no other sense
than the neglect Of a plain duty. l do
not sympathize with the sentiment that
congress in session is dangerous to our
general business interests. Its MEM
bprs are the agents Of the people. and
their presence at the seat OF government
ia the execution Of the sovereign will
should not operate as an injury but a
benefit. There could be no better time
10 put the government upon a sound f.
nancal and economic basis than now.
The people have only recently voted that
this should be done, and nothing is more
binding upon the agents Of their will
than the obligation Of immendite action.
Ii has always seemed to me that the
postponement of the meeting of congress
until more than a year after is has been
chosen. deprives congress too often Of
the inspiration OF the popular will, and
the country OF the corresponding bene-
fits. 1t is evident, therefore, that 10
postpone action in the presence of so
great a necessity would be unwise on the
part of the executive because unjust TO
the interest Of the people. Our action
now will be freer from mere partisan
consideration than If the question Of
tariff revision was postponed until the
regular session OF congress. We are
nearly two years from a congressional
election, and politics cannot so greatly
distract as If such contest were i'm
mediately pending. We can approach
the problem calmly and periodically
without IeBFlnS llS eHeCl upon an carry
election. our fellow-citizens who may
disagree with US upon the character of
this legislation, prefer to have the ques-
ton settled now, even against their pre-
conceived views-and perhaps settled so
reasonably, as l trust and believe it will
be. as to insure great permanency-
than to have further uncertainty men,
acing the vast and varied business in
terests OF the United States. Again,
whatever action congress may take will
be given a fair opportunity for trial be-
fore the people are called to pass judg-
ment upon 1t and this l consider a great
essential to the rightful and lasting set
tlement of the question. In view ot
these considerations. l shall deem 1t my

Making Ounce Preserves.

The excuse, for this richest Of all pre-
serves is its very richness, it's pungent,
delicious flavor-so unlike any other
fruit that there seems no klnshlp De-
tween them. We do not want it often
we should tire of it-and we do not
want much of it; SO it is well in any but
large families to use pint jars for 1t.
Ounce is better than any other pre-
serves in sweet omelets; gives a fine ad-
oitional touch of flavor to miacemeat;
is effe ctive in tutti-frutti and Mes
selrode pudding, and in claret-cup.
The flavor is finer, mellower and the
pieces of fruit softer the second year
after preserving it.
In preserving, first wash the fruit
thoroughly, as the skins will be used

ter if large: cut out the core neatly

HIGH BUILDINGS.
One Was Planned by a Student Thirty
Years Ago.


Years Ago.
An old graduate of the Troy Poly
technic institute was looking at the
high Neave building few days ago,
reports the Cincinnati Commercial Tri-
bune, and said:
THAT high building makes me think
of graduate of my class who was a
marvel. We thought he was crazy, and
his mysterious end only deepens the
conviction that our surmise was cor
rect. He was everlastingly speculat-
ing upon the seemingly improbable.
At one time he said that the day would
come when they would build houses
100 stories high, and to show how it
would be done he made drawing of a
bridge, as we called it, standing on end.
Then he said all you have to do to finish
the thing is to cut stones to fill the
spaces, put in the joists and raft M, and
there you are. And that was more than
80 years ago, before the high buildings
had been thought of by any architect.
And the plans of the present are prac-
tically the same as proposed by Fay
when he was but a boy. He graduated,
and was looked upon as the brightest
man of the class, though everyone
thought him peculiar. He went to the
west-Colorado,. I think-and disap-
peared as mysteriously as if he had gone
to another planet. think he was never
heard of-at least / have never heard
of him from that day to this. Surely
genius and madness are near allied

MANY readers of the HERALD doubt
less remember the laundering at sea in
May, 1895, of the Panama steamer,
Colims, which went down in terrible
storm at night off the west coast of
Mexico, between Msnzanillo and
Acapulco, causing total loss of vessel
and cargo and the lives of many pas
sengers. Shippers, survivors and the
friends and relatives of many of those
who lost their lives brought suit
against the company in the United
States district court in New York to
recover damages in various amounts,
whereupon the steamship company de-
posted with the court $23, S46, the
amount of freight money received for
that trip, and asked for exemption
from damages in any further amount.
under section 1888, revised statutes,
Pad the prayer has been granted.
