OF the Carson mint shall be reached;
but now / rise only for the purpose
of saying that I hope the request of
the gentleman from South Dakota
will be granted, and that the State
will he recognized as the fifth min

by inserting i'll the law the amend
mant he presents. -.......
At this point Cannon of Illinois
got the floor, and among other things
said: @But," says my very intelli-
gent and learned friend from Nevada
Tor whom I ha very great respect,
presently we shall come to the mint
at Carson. and I shall have something
to say about that" "'...... ..5
Mr.. Newlands. Do not anticipate.
p. Mr.. Cannon. If 1 recoEect Alright
the mint at Carson is omitted from
this appropriation. Why? Because
when the population of Nevada was
larger and she got her two Senators,
away back in boom times, under the
cry of benetitting the poor man, we
being ipsufficiently advised, not only
established an assay offiC> but mint
at Carson. 1 say it with respect, but
If you will go back to the appropria-
ton bills, you will find that the
officers Of that mint, without doing a
great deal Of mintaPe, have run a
very profitable industry at.that point.
Now, in fact we have no more use
for All assay Office at Deanwood OF an
assay Office IN Nevada nor an assay
office in these mining camps than
we have for any other thing we do
not need.
Mr.. Newland. Will the gentleman
permit a question
Mr.. Cannon continued on this line
Of argument.
Mr.. Newlands- May I interrupt
my friends athletic exercises for
just one observation (Laughter.)
Mr.. Cannon. Certainly. And 1
hope shall have developed strength
enough to keep you from lifting any
more morey out of the treasury for
useless mint at Carson.
Mr.. Kelley. Mr.. Chairman, move
to strike ont the last seven words.
Mr.. Newlands. l understand that
that motion is made for my benefit.

Illinois question.
Mr.. Cannon. 1 will answer it if l
can. ,t~a...-
Mr.. Newlands. Assuming, as is
the fact, that there is United States
mint at Philadelphia and one at Car
son, understanding that S600,OO0,000
in gold and silver, in almost equal
proper tiops we're produced in the
State Of Pennsylvania near the Phila-
dephia mint, what would the gentle
man think of the policy of a govern
ment which would send that $780,

money! Yet that would be practi-
catiy equivalent to what is done. Six
hundred million dollars of Nevada's
gold and silver have gone to the
Philadelphia mint.
Mr.. Bingham. The gentleman
knows that it is the only fully equip.
ped mint in the country.
Mr.. Newlands. Well, l do not &C

Wife and r1other.

Keeping her house well, and max
ing the little world over which she
rules happy, faithful, beautiful, the
woinanly woman has neither time nor
inclination for the out of door glaring
publicity, which many of the sex af-
feet. What ambition she has goes to
the fame and well-being of her hus-
band and to the future success of her
sons. She feels that it is a far more
blessed thing to be the wife and moth
er of heroes than a parsonage" on
her own account, and that the glory
cast by the man whose name she bears
is brighter and more suficing than
any with which she is able to surround
her own name. She does not wish to
make speeches on platforms, to see
her name in the newspapers, to be a
leader of movements; bur she helps
her husband in his study. in his lab
oratory, and many man has owed as
much of his fame and success to his
wife's quiet and silent aid as he has
owed to his own native power.

The Clarksburg Telegram predicts
that West Virginia will again be rep
resented in the National Congress by
united Republican delegation. The
Republican convention in the Third
District named Hon. VIM. S. Edwards
by reclamation. In the Second the
delegates, so far selected, make it GER
tain that Dayton will be nominated,
as he has fully nine-tenths of the del
egates selected up to this time. Dow
ener's friends figure that he now has
I3I of the delegates so far selected,
with five counties, including Harri-
son, to hear from. Dovener only
needs I26 to nominate. In the Fourth
District it is said that Miller will go
in with little opposition, since Judge
Freer has decided not to push his
claims. This, in brief, is a summary
of the congressional situation.

The Weekly Newspapers Value.

A writer in the Review of Reviews
sums up the attributes Of the weekly
as follows: Each copy is read not
only by the five people usually cred
tied to the ordinary paper, but by
twice or thrice that number in many
instances, for many subscribers pass
their paper on and on to the inmates
of less fortunate homes. These pub
locations are re-eminently the home
papers OF newspaperdom. They are
not specifically scanned while men
travel to business and then left for
brakemen to gather up. They go di-
rectly into homes and the reading of
them is duty as we'll as a pleasure.
Hence their peculiar value to adver-
tisers and their value as moulders of
public opinion.

Music for Invalids,

Miss Anna Estell Wilson, of New
York, has found decidedly novel oc-
cupation. She prepares music for in
valids. She says that although the
healing power of music is yet only
dimly perceived, nevertheless physi.
clans acknowledge that its proper use
produces highly beneficial effects.
Under the influence of certain kinds
of music the nerve cells, if depleted or
too relaxed, may be stimulated to
more vigorous action. Music of an
opposite character will diminish too
great nervous activity and tend to
produce condition of peace and rest
fulness. Several physicians COM
mend Miss Wilson's system. She
does not say anything about how
many different diseases of the nerves
one piano in a fathouse is capable Of
producing in a very short time.

THE AnERIcAN FLAG.

Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory therel
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric of the skies,
And striped its pure celestial white
With sireakings of the morning light.
Then, from his mansion in the sun,
She called her eagle bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen landl
Majestic monarch Of the cloud
Who rear st aloft thy regal form,
To hear the tempest trumpings loud,
And see the lightning lances driven,
When strive the warriors of the storm,
And rolls the thunder drum of heaven.
Child of the SUM to thee tbs given
To guard the banner of the free,
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle stroke,
And BID its blendings shine afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud of war,
The harbingers of victoryl
Flag of the brayel thy folds shall fly,
The sign of hope and triumph high
When speaks the signal trumpet tone,
And the long line comes cleaning on,
Ere yet the likelihood, warm and wet,
Has dimmed the glistening bayonet.
Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn
To where the sky-born glories burn,
And, as his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the
glance.
And when the cannon mouthings loud
Heave in wild wreaths the battle shroud,
And CORY sabers rise and fall
Like shoots of flame on midnight's pail,
Then shall thy meteor glances glow,
The covering foes shall shrink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger of death.
Flag of the seasl on ocean wave
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave;
When death, careering on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail,
And frighted waves rush wildly back
Before the broadside's Keeling rack,
Each dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy splendors fly
In triumph DER his closing eye.
Flag of the freel hearts hope and home,
BY angel hands to yalor given,
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues are born in heavenl
Forever float that standard sheet,
Where breathes the foe but falls before
us,
With freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And freedoms banner streaming DER
usl

WORK OF THE SESSION.
Enormous Appropriations Passed and
War Declared.

So far as general interest is con-
cerned, war legislation was the most
important enacted during the recent
session of Congress. although the
Senate devoted more than three
months to the Cuban, Hawaiian and
other questions before hostilities were
actually declared, and subsequently
both branches worked diligently in
passing rapidly the various measures
for the equipment of the regular and
volunteer forces, the purchase of sup.
plies, ammunition, war vessels, trans
ports and the like. Not since our
own Civil War has there been such
activity in legislation and the voting
of SO many millions OF dollars for the
public service.
The war revenue bill that recently
went into effect required care and
thought. and its operations are under
stood to be most satisfactory to the
prominent Senators and Representa-
tives charged with its preparation.
Considering how much there was to
do, Congress practically finished its
labors with wonderful rapidity.
Among other bills of interest to the
entire country that were passed is the
bankruptcy bill. That measure had
been hanging FIRE for a number of
years, owing to the wide difference of
opinion as to the kind of law that
would be effective, and at the same
time not bear too heavily upon the
debtor classes.
Another important item contained
in one of the big appropriation bills is
plan for the settlement of the Gen.
trail Pacific Railroad Indebtedness.
1t is not satisfactory to all sections
of the country interested but it is a
big step forward and will put an end
10 the long controversy.
Among measures that failed to pass
are: The Nicaragua Canal bill; the
railroad pooling bill and an overhaul
ing of the entire interstate commerce
laws; the anti.scalping bill, so persist
emily demanded by the railroad CON-
panies; that national quarantine bill;
the naval personnel bill and numerous
measures relating to reservations in
the West, free homes, etc. Most OF
these will be pressed vigorously dur
ing the winter or short session.
Cannon, chairman ofthe committee
on appropriations, read statement
in the House showing what Congress
had appropriated at this session. The
total reached $500, 900, 900. OF this
1901 900. 900 was for war expenditures
and $4I2. 900, 900 for ordinary ex-
penses, which was only 81, 900, 600
ore til appropriations for
last ssion Of the last Con-
gress. There were no appropria-
tons for rivers and harbors, but the
sundry civil act made provisions for
some of these improvements, nor
were there any new public buildings
provided for.

The harvest festival of the Salvation
Army is now being held, and there are
good attendances at each Of the services.
The series of meetings incident to the cele-
bration, revival of the ancient Israelitish
custom to bring into the temple the first
fruits of the harvest an earnest of ap-
probation of the benefits conferred by the
Lord of the harvest, are appropriately con-
Quoted. The decorations of the hall, No.
$50 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, are
unique and attractive.
Over the front of the platform there is
an immense arch, heavily draped with
bunting and flags, with a star, also con-
structed Of flags, in the center. The place
Is festooned with various sorts of bunting
and flags, and in front of the central arch
there is long table. upon which are tasti-
ly displayed the donations to the festival
The scene is suggestive of a corner of a
drawing room, as many of the gifts consist
of household goods, flowers, etc. The
array of vegetables, fruits, etc, is also a
liberal one.
The contributions are to be sold at auc-
ton tomorrow evening, and the proceeds
will be devoted to the work of the army.
Adjutant Owens and Captain Bell, in
charge of the work in the northwestern
portion Of the city, will offictate at the fes-
tival this evening.

handsome piece from the members of the
company. The men stacked arms and took
seats in the front pewS reserved for them.
DR.. Stafford delivered an address, In
which he euolgized Nelson both as a SOL
dier and as a man. He also spoke eloquent
ly Of the cause that had called for the ser
vices Of the volunteers. His remarks were
delivered with that force and earnestness
which have made DR.. Stafford SO we'll
known as a speaker. and were received with
the profoundest attention by those who
crowded the church from altar rail to
doors.

FIRE AT ROCKVILLE.
Stables in Rear of Corcoran Hote,
Destroyed.

Destroyed.
Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star
ROCKVILLE. September 10, 1885,
Rockville last night made a narrow es-
cape from big conflagration. Between 9
and O'Clock flames were seen issuing from
the stables in the rear of the Corcoran
Hotel and an alarm was sounded which
soon brought large crowd to the scene
Those who were on the ground first sue
ceeded In getting out of the buildings the
horses, vehicles and other articles. The
fire originated In the upper part of the sta
bic, which was filled with hay and straw
and soon the entire structure was a mass
Of flames. There were in close proximity to
the fire a. number of wooden buildings, and
two of these were on fire at the same time
Some delay occurred in making connec-
ton with the nearest fire plug, but when
this was finally accomplished the flames
were soon under control. and the adjacent
buildings We're saved, though in a some
what damaged coalition.
Within a few yards of the fire was the
large carriage manufactory of Mr.. s. B.
Haney, two dwelling houses and the Cor
coran Hotel, all wooden structures, the lat
ter the largest building in the town. At
one time it looked as il nothing could save
them, and with them a large portion of
that section of the town was endangered.
The loss by the burning of the stables
and injury to ADJACENT buildings will
amount to about 81 200 upon which there
was a partial insurance. This is the third
fire that has occurred upon these premises
within the past few years, in each of which
the stables were destroyed.
The guests In the hotel were much alarm
ed and began packing up for q hasty re-
7moval. and families inethe adjoining dwell
ings were in the same state of anxiety.
Mr.. Haney will sustain considerable loss
from the flooding of his establishment and
the hasty removal of a large number of fine
carriages and buggies to a place of safety.
This fire demonstrated in marked de-
gree the efficiency of the fire department
and the water works, which have been in
existence but a few months. The origin of
the fire is unknown. The buildings had
been closed for the night short time be-
fore the flames appeared.
