PRINCESS BEAFRfCES HEALTH.
VIII Not AItotc Her TO Participate in the
Jubilee Festivities.


Jubilee Festivities.
LONDON, ENG, May 10.-The reports
that have been current in court circles for
some months concerning the precarious
health OF the widowed Princess Henry OF
Batten berg, bet tier known as the Princess
Beatrice favorite daughter ana companion
of the Queen, find a strong iudorsem ent
through the announcement in the court
circular that she will not participate in
the jubilee festivities.
She will go to GERMANY in a few weeks,
there to remain until July. Officially it
is stated that this step on the part OF
The Princess is due to the fact that she is
still in mourning for her husband, but
the latter has been dead considera bly, over
q year and both the court in general and
the Princess in particular have been out
of mourning since the memorial anniver-
sary on the Isle OF Wight some months
since.
The real facts are understood to be that
the Princess is IN no physical condition
to stand the strain that con slant attend
ance on her mother, the Queen, during
the jubilee period would involve, and that
consequently, in order that no sensation
might be produced by her experiencing
fainting or collapsing spells i'll public, it
has been thought best that she should
leave the country and spend jubilee
period in quiet with the court of Germany.

HIS WEAKNESS.

Every man is supposed
to have a weakness, or
you may say a leaning,
toward some particular
endeayor in life. Some
men like music, others
books, etc. Then again
there are men who are
of a conviyial nature,
men who always wish to
be with the boys and
to do as the boys do.
These men soon grow
old, because they dlssipate,
they abuse their young
lives in early manhood,
and doing so sow seeds
of dissipation that ends
in the whirlwind of debility
and disease. Such a
man applied to the Hudson
doctors for their great
Hudyan remedy-treatment.
He used the treatment
exactly as the doctors
advised him, and in the
course of a few months
he was entirely renewed.
OF course, if he again
began his recklessness
he would soon glide
into the same condition.
But he was a wise man.
He knew he was cured
and wanted to stay
cured. This man has
written a testimonial
letter. He is certain

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
hr. Mckinley VIII, It Is Expected, Dcvss. Himself to the Condition or the Treas ury and the Necessity for an Tn-
 crease In Revenues.

NEW YORK, March 9. "A Herald special from Washington says one of President McKinley's fret official acts will be proclamation calling the coa- gross in extra session While presA- dent Mckinley has not vet officially announced the date on which he will convene the next congress, it is the opinion of Chairman Dingley, of the house committee on ways and means. and of other members of the house vitally interested In knowing the date, that it will meet Monday, Narch 15.
 The primary purpose of the extra session is to pass the new tariff bill. In his message to congress President Mckinley is expected to devote himself almost exclusively to the condition of the treasury and to the necessity of speedily enacting legislation which will increase the revenues to meet tue expenditures of the government. He viii, of course. work in con siderable talk about protection. The general expectation among prominent republicans is that the new president will have very little to say in his mes sage about monetary reform, though he may talk in a general way about international agreements and none tary conferences. As soon as the com mittee on ways and means has been announced, and in it's republican mem bership it is expected to be the same ax the present committee. Chairman Ding ley will lay the tariff bill before it. The democratic members will demand time for the consideration of thc bill and the preparation of E.nority report, but Mr. DinGley will probably restrict them to about . week. IEe bill will be reported to the house and | special order for it's consideration will be adopted. 1t is expected tha. this order will allow about two weeks for debate. The house will then pass the bill and send it over to the senate where the troubles of the tariff bill will begin and it might be impossible to pass it a.t all, but for the fact that many of the democrats and populists arc Gisposcsi to give the republicans every opportunity to carry out their legislative programme. The senate will exercise to the fullest its right to amend the bill, .bu, it k the hope of the republican leaders that the bill may become a law and the extra ses- sion adjourn by June.
