FOR THE
BUSY MAN
Most Important Happen
ings of the World
Told in Brief.
IN CONGRESS-.

The house committee on banking
and currency voted unanimously TO
table the Aldrich financial bill. Ii also
was decided to give a hearing to Rep
resentative Vreeland of New York,
who recently introduced a financial
bill.
The senate passed the Overman bill
providing that injunctions against the
enforcement of state laws can only be
issued by a majority of three federal
judges who are to pass upon them.
The senate confirmed the nomina-
ton of John S. Leech of Illinois to be
public printer to succeed Charles A.
Stillings.
The house passed the navy bill after
leaving to the secretary of the navy
the selection of submarines.
President Roosevelts request for
four new battleships was refused by
the house of representative by the
decisive vote of 1879 to SO. The re-
suit was greeted with applause.
In the senate bills were passed
suppressing betting on races and
games of various kinds in the Dis
trict of Columbia; providing for the
purchase of land between Pennsyl-
vania avenue and the Mall as sites
for government buildings; creating a
bison range in Montana and enlarS-
ing homesteads of nOn-irrigable lands.
In special message vetoing a dam
bill, President Roosevelt warned con-
gress that there are pending in this
session bills which propose to give
away without price stream rights
capable of developing 100000 horse
power whose production would cost
annually 25,0O0,OOO tons of coal; urged
in vigorous terms the establishment of
a policy, such as the filibustering mi
nority in the house demands, which
would safeguard the granting of
bridge and dam privileges and require
the grantees to pay for them, and
definitely announced a future policy
on his part with regard to prompt
utilization of construction privileges
The house struck from the naval
bill the provision for increasing the
pay of officers of the navy and marine
corps.

ELEVEN WARSHIPS
TO SAIL FOR ASIA MINOR AND
HOLD NAVAL SHOW AGAINST
The TURKS.
WILL OCCUPY SMALL
ISLAND IF NECESSARY
Vessels Will Carry Seven Thousand
Men and Five Hundred Big Guns
Difficulty Between Nations Arises
Out of Installation of Postoffices.

Rome, April 20.-An italian squad.
ron under command of Adm. F. Grenet
will set out, probably Monday, for the
purpose of making a demonstration in
Turkish waters. The squadron com.
prises IL warships and includes the
battleship Regina Elena, commanded
by the Duke of AbruZ7i. Eight de.
suoyers will accompany the squadron.
Altogether the vessels will carry more
than 1900 men and about 500 big guns,
and their objective will be Asia Minor,
some 700 miles away.
1t has been decided, if it is deemed
necessary, also to occupy a small
island off that coast, but it is hoped
here that Turkey may see the error of
her way and give full satisfaction, SO
that more energetic measures may be
avoided.
Difficulty between the two nations
arises out of the refusal of the Turkish
government to permit the installation

ed to the countries in question such
privilege, although it has tolerated
the postoffices which they have main
tanned.
For years it has been felt in gov
ernment circles that Turkey has been
taking advantage of the international
situation to act in high-handed man
ner toward Italians. showing but little
respect for Italian rights.
The government, it is stated, has
been indulgent, not wishing to cause
complications which might endanger
the accord of the powers with regard
to the Ottoman or the Italian prob
lens.
In addition, there has been much op.
position on the part of Turkey, to all
peaceful Italian initiative in Tripoli,
and matters reached a climax when
Italy asked permission to open post
Offices in Turkish territory, where
other powers already were establish

by the adminitration here unjustifiable

titled to claim it according to treaties
between the two countries granting
her the privileges of the most favored
nation

OUR COUNTRY PRESS.
Il Is Making Progress and Is ln'por
tant to Wide-AWake Advertiser.

Close estimates show that adver-
tising in country papers has increased
fully 20 per cent. the past five years.
This shows that the merchants are
realizing how important it is to adj
vertise, and also shows that there is
merit in the right kind of use of print
ers' ink, or there would be a decrease
instead of a continual increase. There
can be no doubt that the inroads OF
the mail order houses into trade in
different parts of the country have
aroused merchants to the necessity of
more extensive advertising.
One of the things that has no doubt
stimulated advertising is the practice
of many manufacturers supplying deal
ers with electrotypes and ready pre-
pared advertising. There can be no
doubt the trade papers have bacn i'm
portant mediums in the matter of In
| fluencing merchants to do more and
better advertising. 1t matters not how
the change has been wrought, but it is
fact that advertising patronage OF
the country newspaper publishers has
been increased about 20 per cent. in
five years. This means that the mer-
chants are getting their eyes open,
and are on the right path for the pro-
lection of their interests.
Now is the time to start at work
on spring and summer advertising.
Thoro hn fhA ~
ing seasons. The people have abund-
ance of ready cash and they are
anxious to spend some of it for things
that they want. The live merchant is
going to get his share of it.
He is going to get just little more
if he sets out right and does a little
judicious advertising. When we say
little we mean that he must use lib
eral space and fill it with the right
kind of ideas, of attention attractors.
Start in early. Take time in studying
out just what you want. You should
have ideas that are worth trying out,
some opinions in regard to goods that
you carry and want to shove. When
you have carefully weighed the mat
ter take your printer into your con
fidence and tell him that he must do
his best to get the ideas in the right
kind of shape. Too often good adver-
tisements fall fiat because the print
er has no knowledge or lacks the
means of setting up an attractive ad-
vertisement 1t will pay the liberal
advertiser to adopt the methods the
great concerns in the cities follow.
Have a certain style of type to use
exclusively in your advertising. If
the printer is too poor to get it for
you, it might be a good tnvestment for
you to secure it yourself and for your
sole use. 1t will be different from the
others, and the people will notice it.
1t will be kind of advertising trade
mark for you.

Modern Hospitals.


1t is difficult to conceive the change
which has been wrought in human life
by modern hospitals. From the be-
ginning of the Christian era the reli-
gious made an effort to reduce suffer
ing by caring for the sick and aged.
Compassion for pain became speedily
q characteristic of the Christian. But
although hospitals increased in num-
Der from the dark ages up to the mid
die of the nineteenth century, there
was often reason to question their ac-
tual beneticence. The risks of infec-
tion were so multiplied by the assem-
bling of numbers of sick people that
it was doubtful how greatly human ills
were diminished by the hospital. But
with the knowledge of antiseptiC meth
DDS all this has been changed, and to-
day the benencence of hospitals is i'm
mense and unquestioned. For their
practical work they are largely de-
pendent upon the devoted labor of
women. The women nurses within and
the women benefactors without the
hospital walls are numbered by hun
dreds of thousands. In a great city
the service of the hospitals is enor-
nous. On Hospital Sunday" London
subScribes no less than 100000 for
the support of it's hospitals A single
one of them, situated in the White
chapel district, among the very poor
est people in the great city, has
served 100000 patients since it was
opened. 1t has more than 500 in it's
wards constantly. Fifty patients are
operated on daily. When one thinks
OF the number of women who by day
and night, year IN and year out, SUP
ply the wants and alleviate the pain
of the patients in the great London
hospital and in thousands of similar
institutions over the whole civilized,
ChristianiZed world, remarks the
Youths Companion, one partly realizes
what mighty stream of compassion
took its rise when a little group of
men in Judea heard from the Masters
lips His answer to the question, who
is my neighbour"
