 Now the Question.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. = "How many children have you between the ages of six and sixteen2''
 This query has been sent out by the war department to all army families in Washington. Through the state de. partment the same question has been addressed to the various foreign en- bassies and legations, and navy fami- lies may as well be prepared to an swer it.
 It has occasioned commotion. It iR not accompanied by any explanation, and some persons are wondering what business it is of the war department anyway.
 "Does the president fear race suicide has hold on the army?' was asked. By accident some officers who are not married received the query. They were astounded. Every one in Washington is talking more about this question than about How old is Annf" Some one made especially dilfgent inquiry and found out, however, that &here was nothing mysterious about it at all.

 WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The sen ate spent the day on the Cuban bill, most of the time being occupied by MT. Bailey (Tex.) in an elaborate argu- ment against the constitutionality of the proceeding. He claimed that no treaty changing the revenue laws that was not first authorized by legislation or originating in the house of representa- tives was valid. MT. Bailey also op- posed the bill as matter of general policy.
 Brief speeches were made by Sena- tors Teller, Depew and Lodge. The lat ter asserted that Cuba had adopted the same immigration laws as those of the United States in regard to Chinese inn migration.

PROTECTING PANAMA.
Marines Go to Yayiza to Stop Advance
 of Hostiles.

s5t4
 WASHINGIO4>, Dec An official report to the state department says a company of marines from the United States cruiser Prairie has been landed Tt Colon under the command of Cap tain Smedley D. Butler and immedi- ately started by train for Panama The destination of the marines is said to be Yayiza, up the San Miguel gulf ar Tuira river.
 1t is believed that the decision of the naval authorities to station marines at Yaviza may possibly be owing to the reports that Colombian troops have been seen in that direction, but up to the present time there is no reason to believe that any large force is under orders to march on Panama from Cau- ca. The opinion seems to prevail that the few Colombian soldiers seen were probably scouts, who were endeayor- ing to learn what preventive and pro- tective measures were being taken by the republic of Panama, and that it was their presence which gave rise to the exaggerated rumors of speedy at tack by Colombia on the isthmus.
 It is more likely that the movement of marines to Yaviza is in conformity with the policy of the naval authori- ties to concentrate forces at points which offer the best facilities for get ting immediate information of any movement by Colombian troops toward Panama and at the same time of af- fording the. marines some relief from their confinement to the ships. The marines carried with them all requisites for camp life and also number of machine guns
 The news of the movement of ma rines southward from Panama, based as it was on the reported landing of Colombian troops in that part of the isthmus, was received with keen inter est in army circles, where there has been exhibited for some time desire to participate with the navy in any military movements on the isthmus. The general staff gave the subject inn mediate attention. There was, how ever, no outcome in the shape of orders to troops, though the arrival here of Brigadier General J. Franklin Bell, su- perintendent of the general staff col lege at Leavenworth, was regarded as confirming the previous statements to the effect that the army is making ready to do it's share at moments no- tice General Bell has been in consul tation with the members of the general staff
 It is reported that the Colombian cruisers Cartagena and General Pin zon sailed from Cartagena on the Sd inst. with 1,50o troops and provisions, the intention being to land them some where on the coast of the gulf of Da- rien or San Bias and to open up pas sage for the Colombian army, which is expected to follow in short time. Great excitement and antf-American sentiment prevails at Calamar and Car tagena. General Tovar and staff left Barran- quilla via a river steamer for Bogota on the 2d inst.

Paine'S
Compound
CURES RHEUMATISM.

Rheumatism, which does its terrible work
in the muscles, joints, and tissues, is caused by
uric acid which gathers in the blood. To get
rid of this poisonous acid which produces the
irritations, pains, agones, inflammations, and
swellings peculiar to rheumatism, Paine's
Celery Compound should be used without
delay No other medicine gives such prompt,
cheering, and happy results. 1t IS the only
medicine that prevents a return Of the dreaded
disease. Paine's Celery Compound braces
the nerves, the blood is quickly cleared OF all
irritating poisons, tissue and muscle are built
up, and the digestive organs perfectly toned.
Do not treat with indifference the slightest
rheumatic symptoms; the early use Of Paine's
Celery Compound will save you weeks and
months of suffering. Mr.. S. D. Conway,
St. Louis, Mo-, was permanently cured by
Pane's Celery Compound after repeated fall
ures with other medicines and physicians; he
says
~ am q years of age, and have lived in
St. Louis Fl years, and all this time with the
exception OF three years, have served in the
Engineers Department as Inspector. Last

up. tried all remedies and doctors, but all
failed until struck Paine's Celery Compound,
which has made permanent cure in my case.

have used it with the same result"

Man and His Chin.

In man the front OF the lower jaw
bone possesses a well. marked projec-
ton known as the chin or mental
prominence, covered by feshy pod
of corresponding shape In all other
back -boned animals the jawbone slopes
back without any such protuberancos
1t is a singular fact that the presence
of a well-marked chin is associated
with firm character and well-marked
intellectual qualities. This is one of
the best founded rules in character
dehueatior by physiognomy. The
late Professor Huxley used TO illustrate
the matter by drawings profile with
good chin on the blackboard and then
wipjng out the chin and replacing it
by recediug curve. Anyone who
repeats the experiment will be sur
prlsed at the result The reason is
not clear, but we may perhaps say
that d well.developed jaw is sssocist-
ed with good digestive powers, which
have more to do with character than
one might at fret sight suppose.
