parents had removed while he was in
 college, and in the last year he was ad- mitted to the bar. Instead of entering upon the practice of law he decided to
 become a journalist, for which profes-
 sion he always manifested a decided
 taste. In September, 1S56 he purchased the Lewiston Journal. of which he had
 been practically the editor while study ing law, and to which, in 1861, he added
 a daily edition.
 In 1861. at the age of 29. he was elect ed representative from Auburn to the state legislature, in which body he at once took high rank, was reelected in 1862 and chosen speaker of the house at the session of 1863. In 1863 he removed
 to Lewiston, which he represented in ! the legislature from 1863 to 1873.
 In 1873 Mir. Dingley was nominated as the Republican candidate for governor of Maine by vote of two to one against two popular opponents, and was elected by about 10, 900 majority. In 1874 he was reelected by over Il. 900 majority, de- clining third nomination in 1875. He was one of the delegates from Maine to the Republican national convention in 1876 and served on the committee on resolutions and was one of the subcom- mittee of five who drafted the platform.
 He took part actively in the presiden- tial campaign of 1876 and in the state conventions of 1877. 1878 and 1879. In 1S79-S0 he was chairman of the Repub- lican executive committee.
 In 1881 Mir Dingley was nominated by the Republicans of the Second Congress sional district of Maine to fill the va cancy in congress caused by the resig-
 nation of William P. Frye. He was al cd hxro 1N E
 nearly twice as large as ever before given for any candidate in that district.
 In the discussions in committee of the whole on the tariff schedules in 1883 and of the Mills bill in 1888 Mir. Dlngley showed such familiarity with the details of tariff legislation and such a wide range of information on the subject that when the Republicans obtained control of the Fifty-first congress and proposed to make a full revision of the tariff he was appointed by Speaker Reed to n leading place on the ways and means committee, with Mckinley as chairman. The valuable assistance which he rem dered Mckinley in the tariff bill of 1890 brought its logical reward when, in the Fifty-fourth congress, he was placed at the h sad of the ways and means com mittee. a position carrying with it the leadership of the Republican majority, which he preferred to the secretaryship of the treasury, offered to him by the president.
 The tariff law of 1897. known as the Dingley law, was introduced in the house of representatives on March 13. 1897. It passed almost without debate on March 31 and for more than a month was considered in the senate finance committee. Tn a much modified form it passed the senate on July '. Serious differences developed between the two houses, and the bill remained in confer enee for nearly a month but eventually became a law on July 24. 1897.

PAGAN COURT MARTIAL.
Commisssry General to Be Tried To,
 Attack on Miles.

Attack on Mtles.
 The president has signed the order for the trial by court martial of Commis- sary General Eagan for his attack on General Miles in his testimony be- fore the war inquiry board. General Ea- gan will be detached from duty as com missary general and placed under mili- tary arrest.
 The court will consist of these off, cers. who will receive instructions to come to Washington at once: Major General Wesley Merritt, president; Ma jor General James F. Wade. Major Gen eral $. NJ. B. Young. Major General R. T. Frank, Brigadier General F. l.. Guen- ther. Brigadier General A. c. M. Pen nington, Brigadier General c. l.. Giles pie. Brigadier General Richard Comba. Colonel A. T. Smith, Thirteenth infan- try; Colonel Henry M. Roberts. corps of engineers; Colonel W. Sinclair. Sew enth artillery, members. and Colonel T. F. Barr, assistant judge advocate gen eral, or Lieutenant Colonel John W. Cious, deputy judge advocate general, judge advocate.
 Eagan's offensive statements were that General Miles was not fit to associate with decent people and that either Gen eral Miles or himself must get out of the army. General Eagan read his tes- timony from typewritten manuscript. It had been carefully prepared and was read with passionate fervor.
 At one time he said of General Miles. He lies in his throat. he lies in his heart, he lies in every hair of his head and every pore of his body; he lies will fully. deliberately, Intentionally and maliciously." At another time he said, "If his statement is false. and assert it to be. then he should be drummed out of the service and incarcerated in prison with other libelers."
 The date for the conveninR of the court will be fixed within few days. The judge advocate will be directed to confer with the judge advocate general regarding the specifications which will support the charges on which the com missary general will be tried. These charges will be:
 Conduct unbecoming an officer and n gentleman, in violation of the sixty first article of war.
 Conduct to the prejudice Of good or der and military discipline"
 Conservative authority places the length of the trial at two days. Gener- al Eagan will admit that he made the vituperative statements attributed to him, but will plead in extenuation his condition as a result of the grave charges made by Miles and the newspa- per comments. The court will undoubt- edly find him guilty.
 The commissary general is reported to have stated that he was prepared to accept Loyalty whatever action the pres ident might decide to take.

MIR. DINGLEY IS DEAD
MAINE STATESMAN SucCUMBS TO
 PNEUMONIA AT LAST.

The House Leadership Succession.
 Public Life of the Tnrin Maker.
 Twice Governor of His statc-sev-
 enteen Years In Congress.
 Hon. Nelson Dingley of Maine, leader of the Republican side on the floor of the house of representatives. died in Washington Friday night of pneumo- mia after an illness of absut two weeks.
 The funeral was held tn the house of representatives on Monday. The presi- dent and cabinet, the supreme court justices and members of the joint high commission and the diplomatic corps attended.
 The services were conducted by the Rev. s. S. Newman of the First Con gregational church, Washington, assist ed by Rev. Dr. Couden, chaplain of the house. They were very simple. The body was taken to Lewiston, Me. for burial
 The death of Mir. Dingley is a serious hindrance to much important work in congress and in the joint high Canadian commission, of which he was a member. The question of leadership in the house will have to be decided in filling the va cancy which has been created on the ways and means committee.
 Serene E.. Payne of New York. who once was passed over by Speaker Reed, is the next in line of succession, and to him belongs the chairmanship.
 Nelson Dingley. governor of Maine from 1874 to 1876 and member of con- gress from the Second Congress district of Maine since 1881, was born in Dur ham, Androscoggin county. Me, on Feb. 15, 1892. son of Nelson and Jane UamberD Dingley.
 He was graduated from Dartmouth college in 1855 with high rank as a scholar, debater and writer.
 After leaving college Mir. Dingley studied law in 1S55-6 with Merrill & Fessenden in Auburn, to which city his

EaEh In Hnfnn.

The oft debated question whether the present generation carries personal cleanliness to greater length than the preceding generation did had curious light thrown upon it at the recent Tin Plate Workers conference. One Vol verhampton manufacturer stated that not a quarter as many portable baths were made now as formerly, and an- other referred to the fact of orders for 200 shower baths having been taken by traveller in one journey at some past period, while he supposed that at the present time a manufacturer did not sell three shower baths in year. From this it would seem that the shower bath is obsolete and that the fixed bath has merely superseded the portable one. It would appear, therefore, that the verdict should rather be that fashion in baths has changed than that cleanliness came In with the prevalence of the fixed bath. --Lendsn News

gating commission, has practically ac- cepted. Major General Elwell S. Otis. the commander of the United States military forces in the Philippines, has been asked to serve on the commission, and it is regarded as certain that he will accept.
 President Mckinley has not selected the chairman of the commission, but it will probably be Professor Schurman. Admiral Dewey was mentioned for chairman, but in view of the presidents determination to emphasize that the duties of the commission will be more of a civil than of a military character, it is said that he decided to place one of the purely civilian members at it's head. There is little doubt felt that the personnel of the commission as finally arranged will consist of Professor Schurman. Professor Worcester, Colonel Denby, Admiral Dewey and General Otis

STONES INAUGURATION.
PennsyIvanin's New Governor or
 State Finances.

State Finances.
 Harrisburg, Jan. 1S.-Colonel William A. Stone was yesterday inaugurated governor of Pennsylvania General J. P. s. Gobin at the same time was inducted into the office of lieutenant governor.
 The inaugural procession was one of the most imposing ever seen in Harris burg. A feature was the fine marching of the national guard organized last summer to take the place of the troops that went into the volunteer service for the war with Spain.
 Governor Stone said in his inaugural address that he found no evil in appro- pria'ing money for educational pur- poses with a liberal hand, but I can- not" he said, approve and justify ap- propriations that exceed the revenue of the state.
 He continued by pointing out that in his opinion the only thing to be done is the reduction of expenditures. He says:
 We cannot withhold the appropriations for the soldiers orphans. nor the deaf and dumb children. nor the hlind. nor the training schools for the feeble minded at Elwyn and Polk. nor for the industrial schools. The state has entered upon these projects. has expended large sums of money in the erection of buildings and must continue to appropriate. Some ap- propriations may be withheld from char itable institutions but if all of doubtful merit are withheld and many others there will still not be enough to enter ma terially upon the reduction of the accu- mulated indebtedness. A rigid economy must be practiced. and it shall be my purpose in all cases that I can to with hold my approval of unnecessary eNpendi- lures and appropriations.
 Governor Stone suggested the with holding of part of the s, 900 appro- priated for the common schools of the state. He recommended a law suspend Ing the third section of the revenue law of 1891 for two years, all of this tax to be retained by the state. This was the only alternative to reducing the appro- priation for the common schools.

Saved by a Dog.

The following story can be XQuch- safed for, and in recognition of the timely action of the dog the Alliance Assurance company, with which the premises were insured, has awarded silver medal to Zulu, fully realizing his sagaoity in preventing what would oth- erwise have been disastrous fire, with considerable danger to the occupiers of the house. Zulu, who sleeps in the base ment of large house in fashionable quarter of one of our largest cities, was early one Sunday morning lately reused by an outbreak of fire, which had ap. parently been smoldering for some time between the floor of the dining room and ceiling of the room below. He, aft CT repeatedly scratching at the bedroom door of one of the servants, succeeded in waking her. Thinking the dog must be upwell, she let him into her room and got into bed again, but was not al- lowed to sleep, as Zulu, sitting close by her bedside, kept talking" to her Gas she describes it) so vigorously that she suspected something must be wrong.
 On getting up the dog appeared so delighted that she followed him out of the room, and on looking into one of the rooms discovered the ceiling burn ing. Upon rousing the owner of the house, who immediately had the fire alarm rung (which was fortunately close at hand), Zulu, seeming to know he had done his duty, rushed up stairs to his mistress and left the house with the children, evidently satisfied that ho had fulfilled his part. On the fire bri- gade's arrival it was found that the fire had taken serious hold, and only required more air (which would have been given ill another ten minutes by the collapse of the hearthstone, etc., to burst into full flame in several places. -Loudon Spectator.

The president has decided it Is in compatible with the public interest to comply with the request in the Hoar resolution to supply the senate with the instructions given the American peace commiss ioners. If any reasons are giv- en for the declination, the leading one will be the fact that as the treaty is subject to action in Spain even after ratification by the senate its consum- nation might be jeopardized by the publication at this stage of the con- fidential instructions.

Big Sales.

Vinol has enormous sales. This is because the public recognize in Vinol an article which is filling long-felt want. Vinol, the modern form of cod liver oil, contains all the active curative principles of this valuable remedy, withoutthe obnoxious grease and fat, has come in our midst with the power of doing an un- limited amount of good. The fact that Vinol is delicious to the taste, appetizing in fact, gives the public confidence in it at the start.
 Mir. E. A. Brewer, the well known chemist of Worcester, writes as follows =
 "In pushing the sale of Vinol, with other remedies intended for similar use, we can say that we have never had before medi- cine that had so large sale. Notwithstand- ing the fact that Vinol contains large per cent. of the curative principles of the cod's . liver, it can be easily taken and always re- tained by the most delicate stomach
 Vinol is benefactor to man. For that reason we believe it to be remedy that would prove advantageous to any conscientious druggist to highly endorse. Yours very truly,
