What II Costs You.
Pittsburg Post.)

A billion dollar Congress means
that the Republican majority in the
National House of Representatives
carried through in a session appro-
priations that cost SIP each for every
man, woman and child of the 80, 000,-
600 OF people in the United States
and its colonial possessions. Is there
any wonder that careful perusal of
the Republican platform fails to dis
close any reference to the word econ
omy? And yet this profigate and
decadent party has the audacity to
ask for continuance in power.

 DURING CHICAGO CONVENTION.

Aldrich July Special )-Farring ton Aldrich, son of former Congressman William F. Aldrich and Mrs Aldrich died this morning at 1O:3O o'clock at his home, Rajah Lodge, after an illness of three weeks with typhoid fever. The end came peacefully. His condition had been exceedingly grave for several days, but owing to his brave fight against the disease the doctors enter tained hope almost to the last. There was an alarming change early this morning after a restless night. Tie strength of the patient continued, however, and the doctors, after an ex- animation, left the Lodge, expecting to return shortly. It was not supposed that the end was so near.
 Mir Aldrich, who has been in con- son, was in the sick chamber alone. Mrs. Aldrich, who has scarcely left her son since he was taken i'll. had just gone into her own apartments for a few moments, when her husband called her. The end had come before either one of them could realize it.
 The body lies tonight In the picture room on the second floor of Rajah Lodge. Accompanied by MT. Aldrich and his brother, MT. Tn omas H. Aldrich of Birmingham, the remains will be taken to Cincinnati tomorrow morning. After cremation the ashes will repose in a beautiful marble urn which will be placed by the side of the ashes of Mrs. Aldrich's daughter, which rest in the Aldrich vault in Rock Creek cemetery, in Washington City.
 Young MT. Aldrich, accompanied his parents to Chicago few weeks ago. Soon after arriving there he was taken i'll at the Hotel Metropole, where the family had apartments. For a few
