Extra Session.

Chicago, June 2O-A special from Wash
ington says:
Persistent rumors are ahoat that Presi-
dent Mckinley will call an extra session of
congress to deal with the Chinese situation.
If war exists, growing out of the destruc-
ton of the United States and other lega-
lions, it will be necessary to send more
troops to China. Owing to conditions in
the Philippines, no more troops can be
withdrawn safely. Therefore it will re-
quire authority from congress to furnish
troops. The rumors of an extra session can
not be traced to a reliable source at this
hour, and inquiry at the white house
throws no light ON the subject.

NEW YORK. Dec. S.-Not since .he fire

such a blaze as it met today al noon in

Water was poured in until the cellar IN

that they were working in minute
shifts. seven or eight fremen were helped
out Of the cellar and stretched out on the

Then a gas pipe in the basement was
broken. and in few moments the danger
of gas asphyxiation was added to that OF

Frustrated because they are starved. A

ITO be sure. the famished nerves are

With my first meal of GrapeNuts food l

Il can account for the speedy effect of
the food on no other ground than that it
is so easily digested that only little time
and force is required to prepare 1t for the
blood, whereas ordinary food requires so
much force to digest it that it exhausts
what strength weak man has and leaves
the food undigested, ready for decomposi-

Attorney General Griggs' report on the
work of his Office was made public yes
terday The question Of new building
for the Department of Justice. which is of
great Importance to the city, is taken up,
and General Griggs says:
I'm my last annual report l informed
Congress OF the selection of an architect
and the approval of plan for the new
building for the Department of Justice,
provided for by act of March 3, 1899. In
that report | stated that II was probable
that on account of the extraordinary in
crease in the cost OF building materials and
labor it would be impossible to complete a
building of the design selected with the
money authorized by the original appropri-
alton, and that an additional appropriation
would be necessary. Subsequently TO the
date Of my report advertised for and re-
ceived bids for the construction of the
building according To the proposed design.
These bids verified the prediction l had
made and disclosed the fact tina; very
substantial increase of the appropriation
would be necessary If the building were to
be OF the capacity and style contemplated
at the time the act was passed. and in dig
nifty and finish worthy of the objects for
which the structure is intended.
ITO construct building of the size re-
CURED and of the design provided for with
in the present appropriation would require
the use of materials so cheap and common
as TO render the building blemish rather
than an ornament TO the National Capital.
II would be necessary, instead of construct
ing the outside walls OF the building OF
marble. as is proposed to construct them
of terra Gotta. and the interior. which, ac-
cording to the present plans and specifica-
tons. is TO be of a style and finish which
would render 1t an object OF beauty and
of general interest. would need to be con-
structed on the plane of an ordinary cheap
office building. | have the honor. therefore,
to renew n? recommendation for the in
crease Of the limit and an additional APP
preparation which will enable the depart
ment to erect and furnish building OF
the material and in the style provided for
by the architects plans and specifications.
II is my purpose to secure new bids for
the work, which l shall hereafter submit
to Congress as a basis for such further APP
propriation.'

BLEEDING PILES


Thousands of men and women suffer

TIE failure Of salycs and ointment to

dangerous to life and moreover very ex-

The safest and surest way 10 cure any
case of piles whether itching protruding.
or bleeding is TO use the Pyramid Pile
Cure. composed of healing vegetable oils,

This force is about one third as great

Agriculture i'm the Schools.

A great many people who live
in the country believe that agri-
culture should be taught in the
rural schools. One objection to
this, however, has been a scarcity
of teachers otherwise qualified,
who are capable of teaching the ell
cments of agriculture. An effort
to obyiate this difficulty is now in
progress at the State normal
school, at Kirksville, Mo-, where
400 men and women are preparing
to teach in the schools of the State.
Among other instruction given is
IA one year course in agriculture
under the direction of a teacher
who has spent a number of years
at the agricultural college Of the
State University of Missouri. The
course of instruction takes, it is
said, a very practical form, and if
faithfully pursued will be likely to
fit the normal school student
to teach elementary agriculture to
the pupils of the common schools.
A good deal of the short course
work at the agricultural college of
Missouri indirectly has the same
end in view, namely, to render
those taking the course capable of
teaching the elements in agricult-
ure and horticulture. 1t is by eff
forts like these and beginning at
this end of the work, in all proba-
bility, that agricultural teaching
will be gradually introduced in the
public schools of the rural dis,
tricts.
