CONGRESS TO HAVE TICKER.
Tapes in All Committee Rooms to Re.
port Events or Floor. 1

Washin gton.-The ticker" for con-
gross is the latest wrinkle devised to
tighten the burden Of the heavily-lad-
en- congressman. Instruments quoting
the market of the New York 6tork
exchange will be placed in the COM
mittee rooms when the new office
buildings are completed 49,:
The distance between the office
buildings and the capitol Is several
hundred feet and the ticker will save
the congressman walking this dis
lance many times day The idea Is
to employ trained newspaper man
to watch the proceedings On the floor
Of the house and senate and send
the reports out on the ticker. The
House Office building will be ready for
use during the next congress.
That some ambitious congressman
might accidentally have his tape ma
chine connected with the Wall street
tickers is suggestion Of Wtckedness
in a national legislator that is purely
conjectural

COW CARRIED GOLD WATCH,
Butcher Finds Tiaepiece Which Dis
appeared Six Years Ago.

Lexington, Ky.-Dr. D. D. Bell one
Of the best known veterinarians in
this city, has been called in to vouch
for the finding of gold watch in the
lung of a cow by F. Dryden, butcher,
and also appointed referee in con-
trcversy over the claim to the watch
made by che original owner, Israel
Ridge.
Dr. Bell says that in the spring of
1891 Mr.. Rudge was at work in his
barnyard when a calf got hold of his
waistcoat and chewed it up. He could
not find his gold watch. but when he
sold the COW few months ago to Mr..
Dryden he said he believed the animal
had swallowed his gold watch six
years before and jokingly told the
butcher to look out for it.
Mr.. Dryden found the watch in the
left lung Of the COW. He says the
watch was running and recorded the
correct time within ten minutes.
DR.. Bell says the only way he can
account for the watch running is that
the breathing of the animal kept it
wound up, owing to the position it oc-
cupied in the lung. He holds that the
watch belongs to the butcher. The
farmer is not satisfied, and may 60 to
court.

HIGHLY VAL UED RELIC
ROBINSON cRusoE,s GUN IN
a PHILADELPHIA HOME.
Ancient Firearm Occupies Place OF
Honor in Residence of Miss II. B.
White-Has Refused Many
Offers.

Philadelphia - Robinson Crusoe's
gun, the identical weapon that was
the mainstay of that lonely sailor dur
Ing his castaway life on Crusoe is
land, is here in Philadelphia, the jeal-
ously guarded property of Miss Hulda
B. White, OF North Thirty fourth
street
The recent discovery of that fact
ia causing the wealthy descendants
of Alexander Selkirk, whose adven-
lures we're the basis of Daniel DE
Foes famous story, no little uneasi-
ness. y @
British magazines, since the relic
has been traced to America, have
printed several articles in which it is
described as "rusung, uncared for and
alone in the attic of some unapprecia-
tive Yankee" and many overtures
have been made to it's present owner
to purchase it, the price offered being
much higher than that originally paid
for the ancient irearm.
Instead of the attic troubling the
Selkirk relatives, the gun occupies a
place of honor in the beautiful home
o9 one of West Philadelphia's wealthy
women, and the papers, showing the
authenticity of it's pedigree, are locked
up carefully in the vaults OF the local
trust company.
Miss White has had the gun for
more than 80 years. The story OF her
ownership is unique, and gives the
relic, in her eyes, at least, an added
value
Forty years ago distant cousin
eft Philadelphia for tour of Eng
land and Scotland. Knowing Miss
Whites penchant for collecting old
things, he kept his eyes open for odd
bits, and many a piece in Miss
Whites large collection, came from
him. While in Largo, the old-fashion-
ed Fifeshire town in which Alexander
seFkirk was born, he noticed in pass
ing by a cottage that a public sale
was in progress-some one was being
dispossessed for nonpayment OF rent.
He went in, and when the old gun
was offered, together with the papers
proving it's identity, he became an ex'
cited bidder, finally carrying it away
with him after having paid $3.50 to
the auctioneer.
Several hours later a messenger
came to the hotel where he was stay
ing with letter. The communication
was from the auctioneer, who wrote
that wealthy relative OF the Selkirk
family had authorized him to- offer the
purchaser of the gun $500, double the
price paid. G.,-.---.. .
Loath to take the heirloom from the
family that was evidently so highly
priced, he said that if the would-be
purchaser would meet him at the
dock the next day he would give up
the gun. The Selkirk representative
did not turn up, and the gun sailed
present owner.
IN the last few years Miss White
has had letter after letter from Eng
land, some of them Offering her good
ly sums for her prize
Intrinsically the gun is not worth
so cents. 1t is of a pattern invented
in the year 1875, a firelock.
In the days when such weapons
were used the gun was loaded almost
TO the muzzle with powder, with lit
tie placed in the flashpan near the
hammer. When the hammer descend
ed it struck in the pan and the weap-
on was discharged.

Delicate, weak, nervous women should
especially shun. the use of alcoholic
medicines which, from their stimulate
ing and ~exhilerating effects may seem,
for a time, to do good, but which from
the inevitable effects of the alcohol in
shrinking up the red corpuscles Of the
blood are sure to do great and lasting
harm in the long run. Besides they
beget a craving for stimulants which is
most deplorable.
Only invigorating and nerve strength
ening effects can follow the use of this
famous medicine for women. It can
not possibly do harm in any state or
condition of the system. It has been
carefully adapted to woman's needs by

ing feeling in stomach, sees imaginary
floating specks, or spots before her
eyes, has melancbolia, or vblues," or a

vic organs, she can make no mistake
by resorting to the use of DR.. Pierce's

Favorite Prescription is the greatest

ritability, nervous exhaustion, nervous
prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms,s
ST. itus's dance, and other distressing,
nervous symptoms commonly attendant
upon functional and organic disease OF
the uterus. It induces refreshing sleep
and relieves mental anxiety and .des-

a medicine like DR.. Pierce's Favorite
