ABOUT COMPLEXIONS.
A Subject Nearest Womans
Heart.

What a good fresh color you havei"
said my friend Mrs. S. one morning
about a year ago. DO tell me what you
have been doing to yourself
1 laughed and said, IF I should tell
you, you would hardly believe it, and
yet I want you to look at me again and
see if you really appreciate what a
great difference there is between my
present looks and how I was two or
three months ago.
well" she said, my dear, I don't
want to flatter you but really I don't
know when 1 have seen as beautiful a
complexion as you have, and (pinching
my cheek) I believe it is all natural"
YES 1 said, sit is all natural. 1t is
a complexion made on the inside and
not on the out" well, do tell me
about it, she said. 81 am a perfect
martyr to dyspepsia and feel almost
discouraged, having tried so many diff
ferent kinds of medicines, and got no
relief"

do that" she said. We'll that is what

YOUNGEST CONGRESSMAN.
CFrom the Washington Post. ]

CFrOm the Washington POST
1.-THE youngest member of the Fifty
sixth congress-" has mailed to Wash
ingtOn circular which is unique 1t is
printed in a pretty and captivating
brown ink, with a wide margin. 1t is
altogether a sweet and lovely thing.
1.-The youngest member is Martin H.
Glynn of Albany. He is a little over
rs years of age, and the circulation of
his laudatOry broadside is an evidence
that he lacks not in self esteem. He
prides himself upon being born near the
birthplaces of Martin Van Buren, and
Samuel ]. Tilden, announces that his
record as q student was peerless, and
congratulates himself on the fact that
he won all the prizes and carried off all
the honors. But let Mr.. Glynn speak
for himself:
He swings a facile pen and has con-
tributed number of articles to the
leading agazines of the country. But
it is a speaker that he has gained most
prominence, and whenever he has APP
peared he has won golden meads of
praise from the press. His speech at the
recent banquet of the Albany society
of New York won him laudatory notices
from the press of the metropolis. AL
though young, the opinion is prevalent
that Mr.. Glynn will be favorably heard
in the house of representatives should
any measure call him to the floor during
his term of Office
Many more bouquets does"the young
est member throw at himself He
speaks of his success in the journals
tic world compliments himself on his
pluck and ability, refers to himself as
1.-The hardest kind of a student" but
admits rather shyly that he finds time
for social pleasures" Altogether this
dark-brown circular gives one the i'm
preston that there is no one in it with
Martin H. Glynn, which is evidently the
very impression Mr.. Glynn desires to
create.
All of which calls to mind John AL
lens story of the Mississippi campaign
orator who said to a certain candidate
for congress that "he had recommended
hisself so highly that nothing was left
to be said.''

HALF MILLION IN BONDS.
Fo und in an Alley in Chicago But No
Owner Appears.

Chicago, March Aiming stocks,
bonds and other papers supposed to be
valued in the aggregate at $4OO,OQO to
S5OO.OOO were found this evening in an
alley at the rear Of % and "A Custom
Place.
The papers are believed to be the
property of J. A. Sigafus, manager OF
the Good Hope Mining company, whose
office is in Perris, Riverside county,
Gala. Policemen spent the night in
search for SigafuS, but they were IN
able to find any trace of him. The po-
lice have as yet been unable to de-
terrnine whether the bonds are worth
less and thrown away or whether Sig
afus was robbed and fOully dealt with
One circumstance which cOmbatS the
theory that the bonds were thrown
away is that when they were found they
were wrapped in a soiled shirt. Near the
papers were a red leather pocketbook,
two note books and a pamphlet on
cipher messages.
The bonds were in various mines In
Riverside county. There was a mort
gage or a piece of property at p Nine
ty-sixth street, New York city, for
500, 900, dated February 26, 1898. and
papers showing huge dealings with a
gold and silver smelling works at Los
Angeles, Cal. Besides these were deeds
to the Red Jacket and Ophir mines in
California.
Among the papers there was also a
letter from the Los Angeles smelling
concern addressed to Sigafus. The same
name was also in one of the books
found
A small diary was also found In the
package. The last entry was made on
February &c, at Louisville, KY, and
from the fact that on every day before
that he had faithfully kept the private
record the police argue that the book
must have left his possession on or
just after that date.
The memorandum of the preceding
day shows that Sigafus was in Louis
vile and that it was his intention to
remain there two or three days. The
last entry read as follows:

house. Met johnson today by appoint
ment''

WESTERN RATE PROBLEM.
W. B. Biddle of the Santa Fee Disc uss-
es the Question.

Kansas City, March 4.-W. B. Biddle,
freight traffic manager Of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe, was in the city
yesterday and expressed himself as well
satisfied with the rate situation, and
intimated that it had never been better.
He was asked concerning the prospects
of this country doing a big business
with the Orient, and he replied: eff we
did not think so, we would never have
encouraged the establishment of a boat
line from San Diego.
The Santa Fe In California" contin-
ued Mr.. Biddle, will be of vast bene-
fit to the people of this country. 1t does
not necessarily follow that because we
are the new line into that territory that
it is incumbent upon us to break down
the present tariffs. 1t Will simply re-
solve itself into the best route getting
the business. If we can handle it the
quicker, we will gettlit OF course on
slow freight it will simply be question
of popularity. I am quite sure that
nothing will be done by the Santa F'e
that will bring about a decentralization
of the rate situation. We are going in
to that country simply because we think
it will be profitable; if we thought other
wise, we would stay out"

PLENTY OF DIAMONDS.
[From the Washington start

FROM the w aSn1nSCOn STAR
The diamond may be exhausted in
time, and as an attraction it may grow
less fashionable, but there is no indi-
cation of either of these propositions
being verified at the present time. In
deed, diamonds are today plentier than
they ever We're, and consequently
ground they are still at the front of
the jewelry business. 1t is wonderful
how many are cut and sold and how
the demand for them grows. They bear
the same position today they did 500
years ago as an ornament. Other stones
have had their reignS for years or sea-
sons but the diamond has never for a
moment been dethroned. The three
forms for cutting diamonds which pre-
vailed hundreds of years ago-the bril-
liant, the rose and the table-still pre-
vail without any change, and there is
as much mystery and ignorance about
them as ever, for even at this day and
time scientists and biologists are not
greed as to their origin, though the
ma jority opinion is that they are of veg
etable origin. The caret in diamonds,
though 400 grains, weighs but a little
over three and a quarter grains troy.
The value of the diamond is increased
with the square of the weight in carats.
A two-carat stone is four times the
rangement goes on without limit, and if
it is rememb ered a very good idea can
be had of the value of a stone by it's
weight. 1t is weight in the first place
and size in the next. The same calcu-
lation hardly applies to anything else
that is known of, that is, where weight
and size are factors.

A WOODEN TRUST STARTS.
Which Is Intended to Absorb Every
Plant in the Country.

New York, March 4.-The Press this
morning says:
What is the first step in the actual
amalgamation of the entire wooden in
dustry of this country was taken yes
terday when the manufacturers of
worstedS agreed to combine their in
terestS and formed the American
Wooden company, with a capital stock
of $50, 000, 600. Other combinations in
the various divisions of the industry
are under way and will be contaminated
in short time.
OF the $50, OOO, 900 stock of the Ameri-
can Wooden company, $10,000,000 in
cash, which will represent its working
capital, was subscribed in this city yes
terday in less than ten minutes. The
remaining $40, 600, 600 will be divided into
$50, 900, 900 preferred and 500, 000, 600 of
common stock This $4O,000.000 will
represent the value of the properties
which have pooled their interests. Not
a dollar of it is or will be water.

A Forerunner of the Most
Fatal Disease.

Though its offensive features
are sometimes almost unbearable,
few people are aware of the danger
of which Catarrh is the forerun-
ner. Catarrh invariably leads to
Consumption. Growing worse and
worse each winter, those who rely
upon the usual treatment of
sprays, washes and inhaling mix
lures find that it is impossible to
check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the
surface. The offensive discharge
increases all the while, causing q
feeling of personal deflement, and
gets deeper and deeper until it is
only question of short time
until the lungs are affected.
The Importance of the proper
treatment can therefore be readily
appreciated. But no good what
ever can be expected from local
applications, as such treatment
never did cure Catarrh, and never

HER FALL FESTIVAL.
Kansas City Decides to Continue Her
Annual Celebration.

Kansas City, March A Karnival
Krewe parade and flower parade are
already assured features of next falPs
week of festivities in Kansas City. Both
were started off in the rooms of the
Commercial club Thursday, where men
representing nearly every industry OF
the city advocated them in language
that was earnest and energetic. 1t was
the unanimous sentiment of the mass
meeting called to discuss the advisable
ity of continuing the carnival week fea-
ture ney5 fall, that they be continued.
Not only this, but nearly every one of
the speakers favored a cOmpleter series
of tainments-something every day
and every night throughout the week.
When a ballot was taken every person
present voted aye on the proposition to
continue the Karnival Krewe parade
When Chairman Eaton raped for or
der last night, many of the leading and
representative business men of the city
sat before him. He stated briefly the
purpose of the mass meeting, put him
self on record as favoring the continue.
ton of the karnival Krewe feature OF
the week, and asked for the opinions
of those present.
Attorney James H. HAIRLESS, a mem
Der of last years directory, arose and
said:
81 am satisfied that the Priests of
Pallas is not enough. While it brings
people to the city, it does not hold them
here. 1t may bring them for one night,
but in order to keep them for a week
a series of entertainments is necessary.
Another thing-people will not come so
far to see the Priests of Pallas alone.
1t lasts but one night. But when ser
les of entertainments. running through
the greater part of week, is provided,
the anticipation of it will bring the
crowds. They will feel that it is worth
while
The directors" continued Mr.. Hark-
less, ARE unanimous that the flower
parade should continue. 1t has been
suggested also that an electric display
be given.
Il think that would be feasible. I be-
lieve it would be drawing feature and
I'm in favor of it. Let Main, Delaware,
Walnut and other streets be Illuminated
as they never were before and give the
people a brilliant display"
Mr.. HAIRLESS called attention to the
fact that the Karnival Krewe owed
nothing but, on the contrary, had some
thing left in its treasury. 1t had spent
little more than SO, 900 last year, he said,
an expenditure that was paltry in view
of the results it accomplished. In con-
clusion, he repeated with the strongest
emphasis that the question of having
a show ought not to be discussed for a
single moment, but only the means of
providing it.
