Bottling Works.

Within the past few years several diff.
ferent parties have suggested to DR..
Lancashire the ACCESSIBILITY Of establish
ing Bottling Works in connection with
the sanitarium, but no definite prop
ositions have been made. Recently dis
cussion regarding the matter has been
somewhat revived. We learn that the
Sanitarium Co would be pleased to have
such an industry as a feature of the in.
stitution provided feasible proposition
should be made to them. If bottling
works should be started, both the deep
well mineral water for medicinal pur-
roses and the park mineral water, which
is an excellent beverage and tonic COM
bined, would be sealed up and shipped
to various parts of the country.

Hon. Chas. q. Dawes, the new Comp.
troller of the Currency, has almost at
once, upon entering upon the duties of
his office, issued an order which will be
regarded generally as thoroughly com.
nonsense proposition. Mr.. Dawes has
found that in some cases national banks
desiring TO have special examinations
have been in the habit of employing
bank examiners outside Of their official
capacity, and he has decided that the
stopping Of this practice will operate to
the benefit of the service and obviate any
possibility of a lack of Official strictness
with reference to any bank coming under
the examiners jurisdiction.

Mr.. Bryan, in his recently published
syndicate article on Mexico, points out
as one of the arguments in favor of the
silver standard the fact that Guadalajara
is actually putting in a sewerage system
and water works and that another city
of Mexico is laying brick sidewalks.
Guadalajara has a population of about
one hundred thousand, while the other
city, whose brick sidewalks he proudly
flaunts before the American people, has
population of fifty thousand. When
it is considered that there are hundreds
of towns and villages of one fourth this
size in the United States which have
already all the advantages of which Mr..
Bryan boasts for these free silver cities,
there is disposition to wonder if this is
the best that this apostle of free coinage
can say in behalf of his pet theory as
practically exemplified in our sister Re-
public

The Dingley law is now producing in
round figures million dollars day of
revenue to the Government This is to
say, the total receipts of the Treasury
Department, including customs, internal
revenue, and miscellaneous, during the
first twenty-four days of January
amounted to S23, OO0,O 900 in round mum.
bers, or an average of practically mill
ion dollars for each day. This is ex-
tremely encouraging in view of the fact
that the expenditures of the Government
seldom exceed 1866 100000 in a year, or
an average of million dollars per day
the year around 1t is quite apparent
from these figures that the prediction of
the trainers Of the law that it would
produce sufficient revenue to meet the
running expenses were well founded.

A FLAX MILL.
Possibility That Alma May Have One.

Possibility That Alma May Have One.
w. w. Lehman and his son, Daniel
Lehman of Saginaw were here this
week looking over ground with a view
to starting flax mill here, which would
become the center OF a paying industry.
They say that no better location than
Alma could be found AS near as we
can learn their plan is to get farmers to
freak up their new and idle ground and
they would pay them good fair cash
rent for it and superintend the raising
of the flax themselves. The elder Mr.
Lehman is an old and successful farmer
and his judgement along such lines is un-
doubteoly good. He says that it will
pay the farmers well. We hope Alma
may be able to secure this industry.

Democratic newspapers and leaders
the country over are scolding loudly
their representatives in the House over
their attempt to force action on the
Cuban question. They are recognizing
the fact that the course of the admins
tration has been wise and conservative,
and all that could be expected in the
way of demand for cessation of the
cruelties which had marked the course
of the Spanish government in Cuba dur
ing the past two years The recent ac
ton of the Government in sending war
ship to Cuba strengthens the confidence
in the determination of the administra-
ton 10 protect American interests there,
and to take further steps towards the
cessation of hostilities as soon as the sue
cess or otherwise Of the autonomy ex-
pertinent is determined. There is a
general feeling that the demand of the
young and inexperienced men who on
the Democratic side of the House are
clamoring for urgent action by the
Government is uncalled for and unwise.

MILITARY PAGEANT.
Review of War Heroes st PhiIsdeI-
 phia Peace JubiIee.

The military parade at Philadelphia last Thursday was the crowning event of the great peace jubilee and was doubtless the most brilliant and spec tacular pageant seen in this country for many years. Twenty-Five thousand he- roes of two wars were reviewed by the president and applauded by tens of thousands of spectators.
 Many illustrious heroes were in line, but there was little partiality display ed in the kind or quantity of enthu- siasm accorded them. Major General Miles, as chief marshal. rode Rt the front until he reached his special re- viewing stand at Broad and York streets. the northern end of the route. Here he dismounted and from the stand watched his men file past.
 General Joe Wheeler rode behind the governors. his gray head barred for some minutes before and after the pres idential stand was reached and lowing repeatedly 10 the presidents waving hat and the applause of the others of the party and the people generally.
 General Sumner. Captain Evans. Commodore Philip, Captain Sigsbee and Colonel Huntingdon, with his marines of Guantanamo fame, all received tu- multuous greeting: but, after all per haps the loudest ovation was that given Hobson and his Merrimac crew. They rode on a tallyho. and as they reached the reviewing stand all rose, faced the president and bowed their barred heads.
 So far as any body of men was con- cerned, perhaps the Twenty-first regu- lar infantry. "The Presidents own, [" received the greatest tribute. They marched 300 strong under Colonel Me- Klbbin, and the memory of their valor- ous deed at the storming of San Juan hill stirred the people to a thunderous clamor of applause. These are the men who. with comrades dropping all around them in the flame and fury of a Spanish attack, waded waist deep through water, forcing their foemen back and singing "The Star Spangled Banner" as they fought.
 With them marched the lighting musicians" of the regiment, the men who. in the thick of the combat. flung their instruments from them and made music with the guns snatched from their fallen brothers. There are only % left of the original 3s bandmen. The others fell In the fight.
 Huntingdon's marines, who made the first hostile landing on Cuban soil, were immediately preceded by the Ma rine band. With them trotted along a kid brought from the tropics and ar- rayed in glowing colors. Of course the highest degree of local enthusiasm was bestowed upon Colonel Rulings and his Sixteenth Pennsylvania regiment. His flank movement in the fight at Coamo. Porto Rico. had not been forgotten. The sailors were no less we'll received than the soldiers. There were lines of tackles from the Texas. Gloucester. Marblehead, Topeka and Mayfower. with few scattering men from the Yosemite. Yankee and other ships.

Her Fur Cape. FL. outing.

An old lady pr. on a Walnut street oar yestersay morning wearing an old fash'ohed astrakhan fur cape with an immense bearskin collar. Evidently, the morning being cool, she had hur- riedly taken it from a chest filled with moth balls, for the odor of them was almost unbearable. The car being crowded, she was compelled to stand. Consequently every time she swayed from side to side the tiny glistening particles of insect destroyer that were still in the fur would sprinkle every ono near.
 Directly the car gave particularly bad lurch, and something fell from the cape into the lap of lady near by. That something proved upon close in- spection to be tiny mouse, not yet able to look about. Following closely came several more sprawIing on the floor in their blind helplessness. It did not take over half minute for every woman in that car to grab her skirts and get on the seats, the overflow talk ing refuge on the platform.
 Meanwhile the innocent cause of all this trouble calmly unfastened her cape and shook out the remains of nest. which had been snugly built by some motherly mouse in the long fur. The owner of the cape seated herself ns calmly as you please and the other women subsided. d.-Pbiladelphia Reo- ord
