Everything is quiet in Paris. There
is no danger of a coup d'etat. Still,
the ministers think that NJ. Faure's
death is a misfortune at the present
juncture, and this is the conventional

his having soon to resign, and they
spoke of the possible effect Of his death

Public Buildings.

The various bills for public build
ings presented in the House OF Rep
resentatives call for total appro-
priation Of SlO,923, 800 Some of the
bills are for buildings absolutely
needed for government use in the
larger centres of population, but the
greater number are for small towns
with less than ten thousand inhabit-
ants For instance, the Congressman
of Louisiana ask for appropriations
almost equalling the total value of
the property in some of the towns to
be favored, so that it is fair TO infer
that if these patriots are now for the
old flag they are also red hot for the
other end of the continuation big
appropriation.
Alexandria, La, has a population
of 1851 people, less than the borough
OF Frackville, but an appropriation
for 100000 public building is asked
for. Manroe, La, has 3.256 people,
considerably less than Girardyille,
yet wants S74 500, while Opelousas, in
the same state, with 1,jl2 people,
little more than half the population
Of Port Carbon, asks for a $47, SOC
building. Dover, Del, third-class
post Office, with 1900 people, wants
but $70 900, while Castine, fourth.

Reed, wants a SEQ, 600 building for the
toothless old Yauks, who now squirt
the juice of their quids on the stove
OF the storekeeper who is also post
master, in the long winter evenings.
Montpelier, Vt, town Of 4,16C
people with genuine Yankee thrift,
asks for $16l, $50.
There are twenty towns on the list
for public buildings ranging from
500 900 TO 5000, 600, and the tota

His Last Day I'm Boston Continual
Round Of Pleasure.
Boston. Feb 1s.-The last dav OF
President McKinley's visit TO Boston
was sBent in one continual round of
pleasure, and the different events
which were crowded into the few re-
naming hours followed each other
with bewildering rapidty. The presi-
dent arose and breakfasted at o'clock,
and at 10 o'clock was en- route to Ire
mont Temple. where he spoke to the
members of the Massachusetts, depart
ment Of the G. A. r., who were as
sembled in annual convention.
Immediately following this the presi-
dent visited the Legislature In joint
session and made an address. Here also
Secretary Long created much amuse-
ment bv his witticisims and his al
lusons to the time when he welded
the gavel as speaker of the Massachu-
setts house of representatives. After
a short reception the presidential party
was taken on a tour through the sub
way and thence to the Algonquin club,
where a breakfast was rendered to the
party.
The party left for Washington at
$40. Secretary Long did not return
with the party, preferrng to go to his
home in bingham with Mrs. Long,

FINANCE AND TRADE.
Despite Many Combinations Forming,
Business Is Expanding.

Despite Many Combinations Forming,
Business Is Expanding.
New York, Feb. 1S.-R. G. Dun e.
Co.'s weekly review of trade says: Be
yond question business Is expanding and
in many branches it is larger, notwith-
standing speculative combination which
tend to reduce it. All monopolies, or
attempted monopoles, stimulate busi-
ness while they are coming. but tend
to stifle it after they come, and the
throng of combinations and trusts
which have been formed or proposed
have given a temporary but very ques-
tionable impetus to trade. But be-
yond the influence of these there is a
genuine and substantial enlargement
of business, due to the uneXampled
prosperity of a growing population.
The rise of 81 in steel rails, with the
entire capacity of all works engaged
uneil after July 1, is not unnatural, nor
the strength in plates for which the
legitimate demand is beyond all pre-
cedent, and the same is true of bars,
the quantity required for cars, rail-
way and agricultural implement works
being enormous. In pipe the associa-
tion lifted prices per cent, with very
heavy order from Indiana gas works,
as does the expected combination in
sheets.
No fictitious demand has caused the
rise in grain, for the exports continue
so heavy in wheat and corn that the
advance of ga cents in wheat is
abundantly justified and the rise of q
cents in corn seems scarcely enough for
the occasion. Nor does the foreign de-
mand for cotton abate, though the
price has again been raised. There is
also much inquiry for wool.

President's Pardon GIvos Liberty.


Washington, Feb. 1S.-The president
has granted pardon to John r.
Jacobs a Choctaw Indian, convicted of
killing James Moriallio in the Choctaw
nation in 1888, for which he is now
serving life sentence in the peniten-
tiary. 1t appears that Jacobs was only
IL years old when the crime was COM
mitted and has now served 20 years.
This, together with the fact that the
killing took place under circumstances
peculiarly aggravating, prompted the
president to restore him to liberty. The
president also pardoned Ignacio Gal
lego. now serving a term in Arizona
for smuggling. Gallego recently dis
closed a plot to kill the jailer and re-
lease all of the prisoners.

What Shall We Do.

A serious and dangerous disease prevails
in this country, dangerous because so decep-
tive. 1t comes on so slowly yet surely that it
is often firmly seated before we are aware of it..
The name Of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct stages is, First,
Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back,
rheumatism, lumbago, frequent desire 70
urinate often with a burning sensation, the
flow of urine being copious or scant with
strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy
pain in the abdomen low down between the
navel and the water passage, increasing de-
sire to urinate, with scalding sensation in
passing, small quantities being passed with
difficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it
with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has
formed, it will prove dangerous if neglected.
The Third stage is Bright's Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that DR..
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
specials', has discovered a Remedy famous
for its marvellous cures of the most distressing
cases and known as DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 1S.-The rush Of
the Increased volume of water and
the ice from the Upper James river, to-
gether with the backwater from the
gorging of the ice below the city, has
resulted in one of the heaviest floods
ever known here. The wharves at

are under water, and the Virginia Nav

swept away.
The depressed section of the city be-

under water and hundreds of cellars
are flooded. Mayo's bridge, connecting
Richmond with Manchester, which Is
