Why She Gave 1t Up.

Did that young Mr.. Croesus who's
so attentive to you ask you to give up
the bicycle?" asked the scornful
bloomer girl.
"No, he didn't" Indignantly replied
the young woman, who had locked up
her boomers and put her bicycle
away in the basement.
well it's mighty funny that you
should give up the bicycle, just when
a rich young man who doesn't ride be-
comes devoted to you. Didn't he say
anything about bicycles or boomers =
He has never mentioned them,' said
the girl who had given them up, and
then she added, as she looked signiti-

Grain Donated for Famine Sufferers
Will Be Turned Into Cash.
Washington, June 9-Lewis Klopsch,
publisher of the Christian Herald
New York, which had undertaken to
procure cargoes of grain to be sent to
the famine sufferers in India, has no.
titled the navy department that the
grain on hand will be sold and the
money forwarded instead, as the best
and speediest means for relief. Ac-
cordingly the department has aban-
doned it's efforts to secure a steamship
at New York to transport the grain to
Bombay. Mr.. Klopsch writes that the
delay in securing the ship was one of
the reasons for the change of plan.
Then, too, the Indian roads at this
time are very difficult Of passage,
while the natives have been made to
believe by INSCRIPTIONS native grain
dealers that the Americans have
poisoned the wheat that was to be sent
to them, and they refuse to eat any OF
it under any circumstances.

Wholesale Appointments of POST
masters Are Expected Soon.
Washington, June 6.-The rule an
nounced shortly after the administra-
ton assumed charge that postmasters
would be allowed to serve out their
full terms unless removed for cause,
has been modified, and it is expected
that wholesale appointments to post
offices will be made soon. 1t was Of
ficially announced that the president
and the postmaster general will con-
slider as having expired all postofices
which are due to expire between now
and July 5. The reason assigned for
the modification of the announced pol
icy Of the administration is that it is
the desire Of the postoffice depart
ment to fill as many offices as possible
before the expiration Of the fiscal
July lot in order that accounts may be
begun with a new quarter.

Kentucky Distillers May Console
date to Control the Production.
Louisville, June 6.-LOcal distillers
deny that there is any change in the
status of negotiations which have been
in progress for the past year looking
to a consolidation Of the 115 plants in
the state and the reduction of their
output. The whisky men, however,
have not abandoned their plan to con-
solidate the distilleries so that twen-
ty-five of the largest of them will be
able to make all the whisky made by
the entire 115 in the state. This will
result in a vast saving in running eX
penses and is said will stop overpro-
duction. An Eastern syndicate, it is
said, stands ready to put $SOOO,00O
into the deal as soon as the distillers
reach an agreement and the question
of valuation of the property is settled.

Adu1terated Condensed Milk.


In the British Dairy Farmer of
March 18th there is short article on
condensed milk. Quoting from a let
ter regarding the business in England,
it says:
t'In daily contemporary a state
ment is made to the effect that the IN
creasing imports of condensed milk
prove that our home herds are insuth-
cient to yield an adequate supply OF
milk, etc., to which the Anglo-Swlss
people reply as follows: Will you al
low us to say that, as far as condensed
milk is concerned, this conclusion IS
quite erroneous?. There are two rea-
sons why so much foreign milk is
brought into England. In the hrst
place the public seems to be imbued
| with what Mr.. Herbert Spencer calls
the "anti-patriotic bias" and prefer
foreign goods simply because they
are foreign, buying Swiss milk when
| they could obtain for less money Eng
fish milk of equally good quality: sec
ondly, our laws permit condensed SKIM
milk to be sold under the misleading
name of CONDENSED milk" so that
our poorer classes are inveigled INTO
buying a fraudulent article, at many
times it's value, to the injury OF Dotn
themselves and the English agr1cul-
tural community. That our retail
dealers are themselves awakening to
the iniquity of this law appears from
a speech made in Manchester only the
other day by the chairman OF the
Northern Grocers' Council, who had
the courage to say that those who buy
this milk ought to be made clearly
aware that the milk had been
skinned, and that it is not fit for
children. It is time that every Eng
lish housewife knew that full cream
English condensed milk, equal in quail
ity to any foreign milk, and preferred
almost everywhere but in England,
can be bought at lower price than
imported full cream condensed milk,
and at only a trifle more than German,
Dutch and Italian condensed skim
milk, deprived of it's most valuable
constituent-the cream"
We are not, says Elgin Dairy Re
port, sufficiently we'll posted on the
amount of skim condensed milk that
hos been placed upon the market in
this country, but presume there is con-
siderable condensed milk sold that has
been skinned either partially or
! wholly. This is only one of the evils
Of our lax legislation on the question
Of adulterated food, and it may be that
this may be the reason why the New
York Condensed Milk Co., in their
contract at Elgin last month, were
obliged to cut off so many of the farm
ers; as it is we'll known fact that
.heir brands are always honest and
straight, and they cannot meet that
kind of competition. If this is the
case, it again proves the Statement
that we have so often made, that the
farmers as the food producers are thu
ones who suffer from the sale of adul
| Serated food products of every kind.

WORK OF CONGRESS.
Condensed Proceedings Of the M
tiOHNl Law Mill.

tiOnAl Law Mill.
Washington, June 3. - The senate
made greater progress on the tariff
bill than on any day since the debate
opened, completing more than half OF
the important metal schedule The
speaking was by the Democratic sena-
tors, the Republican senators taking
no part in the debate except at rare
Intervals 20 answer questions which
would expedite the advance of the bill
Messrs. Jones and Vest urged numer-
GUS amendments embodying in the
main the Wilson rates, but these We're
rejected with only one exception. Thls
exception related to anvils, on which
Mr.. Vest secured reduction of the
committee rate from 2 to 1874 cents
per pound. 1t was the first change
made without The assent Of the COM
mittee and it was due mainly to the
listless manner of many senators III
voting. Early in the day Mr.. Tillman
secured thu adoption of resolution di-
rtcting the judiciary committee to in
quire into the recent decisions against
the South Carolina dispensary law
with view to reporting such legsla-
ton as might be desirable.
Washington, June 4. - The senate
again made good progress on the tariff
bill, covering about ten pages of the
metals schedule and almost complet-
ing it. The formal contest against the
measure was maintained, but all
amendments tending to change the bill
as reported were voted down and the
finance committee sustained. The de-
bate was mainly of technical char
acter, the Republican senators contin-
uing the policy of refraining from
making speeches.
Before the tariff bill was taken up
Senator Tillman gave the senate an
other hour of exciting controversy over
the proposed sugar investigation. He
defended himself from published
charges relative to his administration
of the governorship of South Carolina,
and then moved that the committee
having charge Of the sugar resolution
be discharged from further considera-
ton of 1t, thus bringing the subject
directly before the senate. Mr.. Gal
linger Of New Hampshire, in behalf OF
the committee, made spirited protest
against this course, and also urged
that the senate should not turn aside
from it's public work to investigate
charges affecting the private charac
ter Of senators. There were frequent
lively exchanges between Mr.. Tillman
Mr.. Gallinger and Mr.. Jones, but in the
| end Mr.. Tillman withdrew his mo-
! ton.
A bill was passed for a public build
! ing at San Angelo, Tex, to cost 500,
| 900. Mr.. Vest offered a resolution
| which was adopted, reciting that thu
! skeletons Of American soldiers killed
at Buena Vista in 1S47 were now ex
| humed, and asking the state depart
ment to investigate the subject and re
| port the facts to congress. A Letter
was read in this connection from Con
sui General Crittenden saying tn
matter should receive the attention O.
the AUTHORITIES at Washington. 4
| clipping was included stating that tn
bones Of American soldiers wer'
bleaching in the sun.

cure consideration as privileged mat
ter, of a resolution for the immediate
appointment Of the committee on for
eign affairs. It was ruled out Of or
der and an appeal taken from the de-
ciSiOn of the chair was laid on the

priation for the Mississippi flood suf-

ence report on the Indian appropria-
ton bill was adopted
Washington, June 6. - Capt. A. D.
Smith, of the Cuban army, spent con-
siderable time with the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations. In a
brief interview with representative
of the Associated Press he said: The
Cuban army is now in better condition
to resist the Spaniards and to main
tain the fight for independence than it
has been since the beginning of the
war. Gen. Gomez has a we'll disci-
plined army of about 10000 men who
are determined to hold out until their
efforts shall be crowned with victory.
Our soldiers are rapidly procuring
arms, and every day serves to put
them on a better footing in this re-
spect Our troops enjoy a vast adj
vantage over the Spaniards in that
they are not injuriously affected by
the climate. Furthermore, We have
no difficulty in feeding out troops. In
the portion of the country where the
| Cuban troops are in control the pro-
| visions are protected and we draw
our supplies from this source. Our
commissary is, therefore, regularly re-
| newed and our supplies are received in
quantities quite sufficient to meet all
our wants"
In reply to a question, Capt. Smith
said: "All talk about autonomy and
OF Spanish reforms for Cuba is sc
much breath wasted. There is not q
man in the Cuban army who will agree
to accept anything short of absolute
| luuopeuuouCe.
| Washington, June S-The senate dis
posed of the lumber paragraph. which
has been more stubbornly contested
than any feature of the bill thus far
by defeating the motion Of Senator
Vest to place white pine on the free
list-20 to IS. The contest was main
ly significant in breaking party lines
i which have been maintained with few
exceptions during the early stages o
the debate The debate preceding tn,
vote was at times very breezy OWN!
to the break Of political lines. A gen
eral discussion of the future pro
granme on the bill occurred befor
the senate adjourned. 1t led to ,
statement by Mr.. Aldrich, in charge 0
1 the bill that the committee woul,
probably submit amendments to tn
sugar schedule. For this reason b
| announced that the sugar schedul
! would be passed over tomorrow an
the tobacco schedule taken up.
