MAJOR MkINLEY AT CHURCH
A Regular Attendant Even in These Days
Of War Pressure.
GREAT SIMPLICITY MARKS HIS MANNER
An Attentive Listener and n Hearty
Singer of Methodist Hymns
Large Crowds Attracted to
the Church.

In these war days Sunday is not a day OF
rest for the men at the helm Of our national
affairs, Nevertheless President Mckinley
goes to church as regularly as in peace
times and always in the same simple and
democratic manner. There is no ostenta-
ton or display; nor is there anything to
distinguish him above scores of other less
notable personages attending the same serv-
ice. The extreme simplicity Of the presi-
dents equipage alone would attract one.
His carriages and their furnishings are
rich, but OF severe black. There is neither
crest, heraldic device or other bit OF con-
ceit now so generally assumed. One car
riage alone bears the monogram Mex -
but SO small and indistinct as not to be
| discerniblc ten feet distant. The animals
are perfectly groomed and proportional,
g~lorying in full flowing names and tails.
At church the president must constantly
undergo the ordeal of public curiosity. OF
the hundreds of tourists who spend the Sab
bath in Washington a great majority attend

A pocket shoe-blacking outfit has been
patented by a western man, the dauber and
shining brush being hinged on a frame to
fold together in a small box, which also con-
tains the backing.
A newly designed fy-catcher is formed OF
a strip of paper coated with sticky material
with a loop at one end by which it is sus-
pended, with a receptacle at the bottom to
catch the flies which fall from the paper.
Cushions of all kinds can be rapidly
cleaned by a newly designed machine in
which the cushions are placed on a wheeled
carriage and pushed back and forth under a
rapidly revolving brush cylinder mounted on
a hinged shaft.
Cigar tips are protected from breakage by

which cuts off the gas.
A Wisconsin woman has patented an i'm
proved ironing board for skirts, ETC., in
which the board Is hinged at one end to a

Any lady reader of this paper can have a
trial package of a remedy that is today the
standard for female diseases. 1t makes no
difference whether she is a subscriber or
not, she will receive a full size
sample package prepaid by mail,
simply by sending her name and adj
dress to the Hazeline Company. 1t is worth
her while to send for this free sample. In
Mcpherson, Kansas, it cured a lady who
suffered constantly over 10 years from va
rious womb troubles, and after being treat
ed by u different doctors who failed to
relieve her. A lady living in Toto, Starke
Co., Ind, writes that this famous remedy
cured her daughter who was so sick with
difficult monthly sickness that she was in
bed most of the time. From Sacramento,
Cal, a lady writes that this remedy does
away with surgical operations and was
saved the danger and torture of the knife
by being cured by HaZeline. A lady in
Silver City, New Mexico, says that when
she began using the remedy five months
ago her suffering was so intense that she
nearly went insane, but the timely arrival
of Hazeline saved her reason and cured
her so she is now healthy and happy. Miss
Anna b. Foss of Grant falls, Mimi,

being bought by her since.
Mrs. David Nusbaum of Taneytown has in
her possession a blue and white pitcher
bearing a very fair bust of Lafayette on
each side, encircled with the inscription
'Welcome, Lafayette, the Nations Guest

made early in the present century, about the
time of Lafayette's visit.
Miss Eliza E. Smith has presented to the
city OIL Lancaster, Pa. n fine residence
valued at S25 600 for a public library build
ing and promises to improve the property

will be known by his name.
A decree has just been issued in Russia
permitting women physicians to enter gov
eminent service. By this, women in Rus
STA have won an important privilege. The
government service carries with it quite lib.

cedure will be the forerunner Of other ex'
tensions OF privilege to women.

People speak of their eyes being tired,
says a London paper, meaning that the
retina or seeing portion OF the eye is
fatigued; but such is not the case. as the
retina hardly ever gets tired. The fatigue is
in the inner and other muscles attached to
the eyeball and the muscle OF accommodation
which surrounds the lens Of the eye. When
a near object is to be looked at this muscle
relaXes and allows the lens to thicken, IN
creasing it's refractory power. The inner and
outer muscles are used in covering the eye
on the object to be looked at. the inner one
being especially used when a near object is
looked at. 1t is in the three muscles men
toned that the fatigue is felt and relief is
secured temporarily by closing the eyes or
gazing at far-distant objects. The usual indi-
cation OF strain is a redness of the rim OF
the eyelid, betokening a congested state of
the inner surface, accompanied by some
pain. Sometimes this WEAKNESS indicates the
need OF glasses rightly adapted to the per-
son and In other cases the true remedy is
TO rub the eye and its surroundings as far
as may be with the hand wet in cold water.

This good story is told of Charles Dudley

not say a word beyond yes, sab" or mo,

her silence. With as much dignity and

One of the good stories about the famous
painter Meissonier, which is not repeated
by his recent biographers, is in regard to
his experience with a new rich" gentle
man who had erected a private theater at
his chateau. MISSIONER was just then at
the height of his fame, and was spending
months in painting little pictures about
12x1S inches and selling them for 1000 francs
an inch. The rich man conceived the bril-
liant idea that what his theater most needed
was a drop curtain painted by the famous
Meissonier. So he went to the artists studio
and proposed the matter to him. How
large is this curtain to be, Monsieur" asked
Meissonier. 1T will be ten meters high
and thirteen meters wide" "Ah, mon
ami said MISSIONER amiably. "it will take
me thirty years to paint it and it will cost
you 80, 600, 000f." The bargain was not com,
pleted.

tigation of the Maine Affair.

Madrid, March 19.-Nadrid is now
quite excited. The ministers sat up IN
til very late last night with Premier Sa-
gasta, discussing the situation in all it's
details
The prime minister said today:
I see no objection to an international
commission of experts making a new
inquiry into the Maine disaster. They
would be able to approach the subject
with their minds more prepared to give
due weight to the evidence than either
the Spanish or American committees Of
investigation.
"Jurists recognize the influence, even
unintentiOnal, Of a mental predisposi-
ton, and it has value which fair-mind-
ed men do not overlook
Senior Guillon said:
I should rejoice at investigation of
the Maine disaster by an International
commission of competent men. believe
the resources of peace are not yet ex-
hausted."
Manuel DagUno, governor of the Bank
of Spain, submitted that he knew little
OF political affairs, except as it affects
the finances. Looking at the question
from this standpoint he said:
I'VE have to pay today So pesetas and
SO centimOs for Ell sterling. This means
ruin to our commerce, and as we are
much dependent upon outside nations
war could hardly devastate us more
than this terrible rate of exchange"

bassador at Madrid was playing the

There is only one remedy that will do
it-Pyramid Pile Cure.
It aIlays the Inflammation Immediate

SPAIN APPEALS TO EUROPE.
The Triple Alliance to Come to the

New York, March 19.-The Journals
London special says:
Spain has appealed to Europe. There
can no longer be any doubt in this con-
nection.
And the Triple Alliance has responded.
When the American naval court of in
quiry makes its report on the Maine dis
aster, a combination of European powers,
led by Austria, Italy and Germany, with
Italy ostensibly taking the initiative, will
propose settlement of the question by
an international court of inquiry. AS
Spanish diplomats throughout Europe
have been at work on this scheme for at
least two weeks, it is clear that SPAIN
knowing the real cause of the destruction
of the Maine, also knew what the report
of the American naval court would be.
Diplomatic messengers have been hurry
ing between Berlin, Vienna and Rome on
this business, and, as Premier Rudini ad-
mitted several days ago, the programme
is now complete. Confirmation is to be
found in the interview with Sagasta in
Madrid.

that Mckinley cannot decline the pro-
posed international court without serious
