Ii the Philadelphia Times, which
bolted in 1896 and which has never been
Democratic enough to hurt, has fancy
that it Is commencing itself to the 400
600 Democrats of this state who did
not bolt and that do not waver by filings
at Mr.. Bryan it may wake up some
time to its mistake. Mr. Bryan is still
as dear to the affections of democratic
Democrats as he was when he held
aloft the party's banner and polled a
million more votes than Grover Cleyela nd
was ever able to command. Only pluto-
cratic Democrats ever sneer at this
masterful man who is as great in defeat
as he was splendid in battle.-Johns-

How to Raise Flowers In the House

A tiny garden can be made by cut
ting piece of sheet wadding to fit the
top of bowl or n wide mouthed jar,
which is filed with water just high
enough for the bottom of the wadding
to touch it. Two or three small bits Of
charcoal will keep the water pure, and
when all is arranged the top of the
wadding Is sprinkled with seeds of
mignonette, sweet pea or any other
easily grown plant. The roots pierce
down through the wadding and are
nourished by the water, while leaves
and blossoms in reasonable time con-
ceal the top.

Among certain people there is a
strong idea that nothing is worse for
dogs than salt, but as a matter of fact
when administered in small quantities
it materially benefits them. There Is
no doubt, however, that to give dogs or
any other animals broth in which salt
pork or bacon has been boiled would
be almost equivalent to giving them n
dose of poison.

The repairs in the White House
brought to the mind of Colonel VIII
liam II. Crook, disbursing officer of the
executive mansion, many memories of
the days when he served under Presi-
dent Lincoln. The floor in the room
where President Lincoln sat to trans
act business was torn up by the work
men recently, and Colonel Crook Sc
cured some of the flooring for preser-
walton. From piece of the flooring
on which the president often stood,
with Colonel Crook by his side, were
made a number of canes that have
been presented to friends. They are
much appreciated for their historic
value by the recipients.

clan. He decided that the Washington
climate did not agree with me and

no teaspoon with which to measure the
dose, so l went to the hotel cafe for
one. They gave me one of those plated
affairs that sell for about 60 cents a
dozen. The medicine corroded it badly,

of all sizes and varieties, with here
and there an excavation, tall pillars

In plain pine boards, iron railings In

the center Of n beautiful park filed
with ma jestic trees and tropical plants
with a fountain playing on magnif-
cent lawn, is the picture presented by
the White House as viewed from La
fayette square.
Its once handsome interior looks like
the track of devastating Kansas cy-
clone 1t Is undergoing a renovation
such as 1t has not experienced since
1915, after the British entered the city
and burned the building. As far as
the interior Is concerned, the building
is being practically reconstructed and
will then be used by the president ex-
clusvely as residence, as was origi-
nally designed BY the 1st of October
the contractors in charge of the work
expect to have the new White House
ready for occupancy, and on account
of the short time they have to do the
labor the men are working almost from
sunrise to sunset.
The contractors seem never to leave
the vicinity Of their employment. A
rough board building has been con-
structed on the broad pavement be-
tween the executive mansion and the
state, war and navy building, and here
the executive heads of the work of
construction can be found night and
day working out the plans they have
received from the architects and pre-
pairing the tasks for the laborers who
are tearing out the old to make way
for the new.
The Work of Congress.
Benjamin S. Plat, enrolling clerk Of
the senate, has prepared a statement
showing the extent of the business
transacted by congress during the past
session. According to this statement,
far larger number of bills and joint
resolutions was introduced than in
any previous session of congress, lar
ger, indeed, than in any previous con-
gress whether of two or three sessions.
The total number of bills and joint
resolutions offered in the two houses
up to the time of adjournment was
%, ,022, of which 1,503 were sent to the
president. OF those introduced, 1852
were offered in the house of representa-
tives and G,450 in the senate.
Unfinished Civil Service Work.
At the close of the week ended June
%, the last Saturday of the fiscal year,
there remained in the files of the civil
service commission 109G7 sets of I'M
marked examination papers. This to-
tai exceeds by more than 5000 the
record of last year and has excited
some discussion as to the inadvisa-
bility of limiting the work of the com
mission by an insufficient clerical al
lowance. Under ordinary circumstan-
ces the whole civil service force can
dispose of a few less than 1000 sets Of
papers each week. But with the extra
work now scheduled In the form Of
special examinations it is unlikely this
pile of unfinished work left over from
the last fiscal year can be cleared away
before Nov. /.

Disappearance of Pennies.

"What becomes of all the pennies?"
Is question over which Secretary of
the Treasury Shaw is puzzling. The
United States coins and puts in circu-
lation on an average about 100000
of these little copper tokens every
year, and each spring and fall there
is a demand from everywhere for
more. 1t is the big department stores
that make the greatest demand. The
disappearance of many pennies is ac-
counted for by the savings of children,
but these savings banks could not COB
BILE up 75,000,000 year.
The Smithsonian Addition.
Arrangements are now being made
by the secretary of the Smithsonian In
stitution for carrying out the instruc-
tons of congress in relation to the
preparation of preliminary plans for an
additional fireproof steel frame brick
and terra Gotta building, to cost not to
exceed 81, 100000, for the United States
National museum, to be erected when
appropriated for on the mall between
Ninth and Twelfth streets. For this
purpose an appropriation of $4,000 was
allowed, and the plans will be sent to
congress at its next session.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Oct. 6.-Today's reactionary
stock market was typical of a well or
dered liquidation. The bears were too
alert and aggressive all day to take
away the market from the long interests,
but they showed their fear of overrun-
ming the market by the frequency with
which they bought to cover their short
contracts. This operation caused a num-
Der of checks to the downward course
of prices and of rallies reaching from i
to pionts in a few stocks. Reading was
twice lifted above last weeks level by
these rallies and rumor was busy in Wall
street all day regarding the next devei-
opments in the coal strike situation. The
strike by President Roosevelt gave rise
to the expectation of new steps to be
taken by him. There were many incon-
sistent reports as to the intention of Gov.
| Stone of Pennsylvania, concerning the
use of military. The anthracite group
was also inclined to resist the reaction
airy tendency on this account. ST. Paul
also made a visible resistance to the de-
| cline and shared in the occasional rail-
lies. Neither of these stocks entirely es-
capped the prevailing pressure to sell
which carried the general list down from
| / to over 3 points. with large sprink-
ling of point losses. The southwestern
| cotton and corn carriers were notable
sufferers. doubtless on account of unfa-
lvorable crop reports. There were some

NJ Monooose Invasion.

Uncle Sam doesn't propose to take
any chances with the mongoose. Few
Of us ever saw mongoose, and many
never heard of one, though those who
have read Kip!ing do not need any
definition of the little creature. For
the uniformed it may be well TO
state that the mongoose does not be-
long to the goose family, but Is slen-
der weasel-like animal of India, Is
gray. fiecked with black. about the size
of a cat, is quicker than lightning In
it's movements and is death on rats,
mice. snakes and other vedmin so
that it is much domesticated in India.
Well, the University Of Pennsyl-
yania wanted to import two of the lit
tie creatures that their habits might be
observed for the benefit of science.
Uncle Sam objected. and after much
red tape had been unraveled the uni
versity was granted permission to land
them upon condition that they be
tWO WCChS. AhC ICehSoi
for such a stern condition is that the
mongoose multiplies rapidly and kills
off rivals and so becomes pest. This
has happened in the island OF Jamaica.
That island, being infested with dead
ly snakes, and having 10 St. Patrick at
hand. imported the mOngoose. The
snakes are pretty we'll thinned out
thanks to the agility and pugnacity OF
the mongoose, and so are the birds and
fowls whose eggs the mongoose steals,
and now the little creature is as big
nuisance there as are the rabbits
which were taken to Australia. few
years ago. The same thing happened
in Egypt. long years ago, where the
mongoose, or ichneumon, to give him
his fine Greek name. was imported to
keep down the crOcodiles by eating
their eggs And SO Uncle Sam, hav-
ing Just had narrow escape from
having his domain devastated by the
Belgian hare, doesn't propose to turn
loose the mongoOse.
