THE HOUSE.

Washington, February 4-The general debate on the postoffice appropriation bill was enlivened today by an interesting discussion on the tariff question It was participated in by MT. Sibley Gepuhlican) of Pennsylvania, MT, Willams( demo- eraD of Mississippi and MT, Grggs (dem- ocraD of Georgia. Consideration of the postoffice bill in committee of the whole was completed but it was not passed. The annual attempt to strike out the JAp- propriations for special mail facilities between Washington and New Orleans and Kansas City and Newton, Kas, was led this year by MT. Talbert of South Carolina, who followed up his motion af- ter it was defeated in committee of the whole with a motion In the house to re- commit the bill with instructions to elim- mate the provisions The latter motion Is designed to place the members on re- cord. His motion was pending when the house adjourned.
 MT. Sbley attracted much attention by his remarks in reply to a speech of Mr. Williams of Mississippi last week on the subject of the tariff. In concluding he warned his side of the house that the people would hold the republican party responsible after the hysteria relative to tariff reform had passed. Most of his republican colleagues applauded this statement
 Grlggs Defends Figures.
 Mir Griggs of Georgia. who is chair man of the democratic congressional committee. defended at some length the figures of the democratic campaign book relative to the tariff and trusts.
 MT. Williams of Mississippi replied to Mir Sibley. He raised genera; laugh at MT Sibley's expense when ne attributed the latter's skill as a debarer to his prac- tice in the turn from one party to an- other and on political questions.
 When the postoffice appropriation bill was read for amendment under the five minute rule Mir. Talbert of South Caro- lima made a motion to strike out the ap- propriation of sl42,OOO Tor special facili- ties between Washington, Atlanta and New Orleans.

GIANT EGG OF RPYORNIS.
Marvellous Specimen Recently Ac.
Quired by the American Museum
of Natural History.

A rare and remarkable curiosity in
the shape of the largest egg in the
world is now on exhibition in Bird
hall of the American museum OF
natural history. The egg belonged
to gigantic extinct bird, called the
aepyornis, formerly inhabiting the
wilds of the Island of Madagascar.
This huge member of the bird king
dom, for some unknown reason, was
exterminated in comparatively recent
times, and nothing but its fossil eggs
and fragmentary remains of the
skeleton can be found.
From the length and size of the
limbs and feet the birds are said by
scientists to have been probably twice
or three times the height of an os-
trich, of which they are supposed to
be a distinct group. They were pow
erful and ever dangerous creatures to
human life. 1t is related that they
carried off cattle and sheep and the
white inhabitants had to walk about
with tame tigers to guard and pro-
tect themselves from their attack.
The extraordinary size of the egg,
which is nearly foot long by. ten
inches in diameter, is vividly shown
by comparison with hens egg,
which seems nothing but mere
speck in comparison.
Nearly half hundred hen eggs
could be packed inside, says the New
York Commercial-Adverti Only
few perfect eggs have been found.
They command a high price, owing
to their scarcity, averaging from
$100 to $500 a piece.

QUEER KIND OF THEFT.
Mexican Hotel-Keeper Tapped Elec-
tric Light Company's Cable
to Save Cost.

A hotel keeper in the City of Mexico,
whose place was always brilliantly
lighted by electric lamps, apparently
without regard to cost, has recently
been convicted by local judge for
stealing from the electric light COM
pany the current with which his hos
telry was lighted. He was con-
demned to a years imprisonment and
fine of $33.70, and, as an additional
penalty, was disqualified for all kinds
of public honors and employments," "
reports the Chicago Chronicle.
The landlord who attempted to
evade the electric company's charges
wired his house and made connection
with the company's cables, with the
intention, as he pleaded, of calling at
the office of the company and explain
ing the matter at later day. He also
declared that he had used the cur
rent for "only month" The COM
pany had its suspicious aroused and
applied to the court for authority to
make an examination of the hotel
lighting system, which was granted,
with the result of revealing the
fraud. The legal point of interest in
volved in the case hinged upon the
definition of the word robbery"
which the district code thus eluci-
dates: "He commits robbery who
possesses himself of a movable thing
belonging to another, without right
and without the consent of the per-
son entitled by law to dispose of it."

Many Perth AmbOy Readers.


The soothing influence of relief
After suffering from Itching piles,
From Eczema or any itchiness of the
skin,
Makes one feel grateful to the remedy.
Doan's Ointment has soothed hundreds.
Here's what one Vailsburg citizen says
MIA. Woodruff, of Vailsburg, N. j.,
says: "For the benefit of those similarly
afflicted as | was with hemorroids OF
piles, want every reader of this paper
to know. that suffered with attacks OF
this tormenting nuisance for over fifteen
years. During that time, spent lot OF
money trying ''sure cures" and exhausted
all my own knowledge about saves and
ointments, and the advice of my friends.
One day while reading an advertisement
about Doan's Ointment / concluded to
make one more effort and commence the
treatment. Greatly to my surprise the
area of itching gradually contracted until
it completely dried up. What is of con-
siderable more Importance to me, there is
no indication of a recurrence"
Plenty of such emphatic endorsement
to be had right here in Perth Amboy.
