Too many persons with poor di-
gestions lay the blame on the cook.
Have you ever noticed when the
days work is done and the long,
silent evening shuts the world out
from view, how the mind loves to
wander and how memory delights
in exhibiting its sacred relics OF
other days? Aud have you ever
noticed that the one scene which
is the dearest of all scenes, the one
memory of which we never tire, is
that which centers around the old
home and the loved ones we left
behind. There we received the
first impressions Of life, there we
knew our first joys and experienced
our first disappointment, built our
fist hopes for the future and i'll
childish fancy planned life to
which we could never hope to as
pire. There also we knew tn
tender influence Of mothers love
and fathers gentle solicitude. all
of which left al indelible impress
sion upon our childish memories.
And we love to dwell upon these
former scenes and associations, not
as they may exist today, shadowed
perhaps by sorrow, ooccsioned by
our own neglect, but as we once
knew and loved them. As they
exist today is another subject, a
truthful contemplation of which
would bring to many more shame
than joy. This life is journey
and though the goal is never in
sight we too often neglect to re-
trace our steps, however strongly
we may feel it our duty to do SO.
| We try to assure ourselves that all
will be we'll, that these scenes and
conditions in reality, as in memory,
| will hold their own against the in
roads of time. And thus as times
90 on, we continue to neglect, I'M
til too often nothing remains OF
those once happy scenes but the
early memory we SO fondly cher
: r,sh.
[ once visited home which
showed every sign of former hap
, piness, but where a then-aged
mother anx;ously awaited the re-
| turn of an absent daughter. The
Q sadness Of the scene and the pathos
g of the woman's story appealed to
3 me. 1t was one of neglect, rude
e SCATTERING Of former happy hopes,
all of which found ready forgive
ness in the mothers heart. She
y showed me the picture of the one
I for whose guidance she had pray
$ ed and for whose safe return she
. had waited all the dreary years.
The schoolday books, tn e little
frock and even the rag doll, as cast
aside with those happy memories
of former days, were among hel
= most valued possessions. Her one
desire was to maintain the home
which she felt cure her daughters
t. return would one day brighten. As
. l listened to her story my mind
- reverted to a far-distant h m G
n where some loved one might also
Il be waiting, but | saw only the hap.
70 py scenes that memory had cher.
% ished, so went on my way and
- soon forgot the mothers sorroN
= and anguish.

NEW YORK, May D." That s nice, neat looking building,"' remarked a stranger, as he gazed at the Gillenger building, l Nassau street, corner of Wall street. "Yes," replied his guide, "but tomorrow thousand workmen will be swarming over the twenty-five stories and in record breaking time what you call nice building will be torn down. It may seem foolish for an owner to destroy twenty-two story building that is perfectly good build ing, just because it is not big enough, but such is the case in the Gillenger building. New York wants bigger building-in fact, Wall and Nassau streets are to have the tallest office building in the country, giant that will tower forty-two stories in the air. The owners wanted to start destroying the building April l, but three tenants had leases until May l, and notwtih- standing the fact. that they were of fered bonus of $l,000 each for the extra month they refused to move. but they got out yesterday and then brick by brick down will come the structure to make way for modern progress The Gillenger is across the street from the office of J. P. Morgan Co. and the United States sub-treasury.

TERRITORIAL LEGISLATION

With very important matters affect ing the various territories before con gress, it seems almost impossible to get any action. Statehood for New Mexico and Arizona has been religious ly promised to those territories, but the realization of their dreams seems to advance no further than the doors of the committee rooms in which the hearings are held. Alaska wants a form of home government, but congress does not appear to be much interested in it. Congressman Mann made speech the other day in which he heaped ridi- cule on the conseryationists who have been making q great rumpus over the allegation that the wealth of the terri tory was "gobbled" up. He spent a few moments figuring how much salt was in the sea within a distance of three miles from shore, and how much aluminium was in the earth above the level ot the sea, and demonstrated that the territory of Alaska possessed wealth enough in salt and aluminium to give not merely dollars, but millions of them to every inhabitant of the United States. The only thing he failed to do was just what the concervationists fail to do, namely, tell how the people are to realize the riches in question. But with all the undertaking and pleasant ries, congress is not solving the ques- tions which trouble the people who live under territorial governments.

WILL ENGLAND LIKE IT

Whether Canada will like it and Eng land approve, is the question which oc- cured to many persons at the dedica- tory exercises of the Bureau of Ameri- can Republics when they discovered in the cornice of the patio the arms of Canada associating in intimate terms with the arms of twentyone American republics. Probably those arms were placed there by direction of Mir. Andrew Carnegie, who paid for the '$750,O0O building, and so had a thing or two to say about it. But whether it will be considered an invitation to join the republics by throwing off the 'yoke' " of Great Britian; whether it will be considered compliment, a menace, an insult or prophecy is a question. MT. Carnegie in his speech, which overfowed with the milk of human kindness and with genuine benevolence, uttered the hope that sometime Canada would join the republics represented there in re- pudiating the sword as a means of set ting national disputes, and resort to arbitration. He might have said more had he thought it prudent. It is in teresting to note that on the very day preceding this event, Brazil illustrated her good faith in regard to international arbitration by executing through her representative at Washington, a con vention with Haiti for the arbitration of international disputes.

question, they will pass indirectly upon the brutal favoritism of the transpor, tation companies of this country in helping to build up that institution, Name me, if you can, one of the great combinations of this country that does not owe its life, its continued existence. and it's ulimited power to the combi- nations in the great city of New York, where men serve as directors upon both the transportation companies and the combinations which we are seeking to put down."
 Mir Borah read copious extracts from the opinion of Mir. Justice Peck ham in the freight case to support and Illustrate his contention. He remarked that while many of the railroads were honestly trying to live up to the Sher- man law, many others did not yet see fit to comply with its conditions, He remarked:

SENATOR DoL1IvER INsuRGEs

With all of his well known humor and facetious invective, Senator Deliver en tertained the senate for about tive hours in sort of warming up heat for the railroad debate. As is usually the ease, all of the seats on the floor of the senate, as well as in the galleries were filed while MT. Deliver made a few observations regarding the weak places in the railroad bill. He expressed his resentment that a great measure like the one under discussion should he handled by anybody as "dogmatic proposition, and orders more or less abrupt, intended to constrain the ac- tion of congress, issued from any quar. ter in respect of it'' His resentment was expressed Con finding the works of congress so elaborately mapped out by other departments of the govern ment, as it has during the present ses. sion.' Mir. Deliver enunciated mum. Der of Hpigrams wwhich are quotable Here are some of them:
 Knowledge is largely a matter of opportunity and wisdom is usually com mon good sense nurtured by expert encc. '
 ''I confess that I have no particular pride in the way in which the people of the United States have managed their transportation problems. t"
 ''Issues of stocks and bonds of the great railway systems have been made more than $3,000,000,000 in aggregate volume, for which the people of the United States have not received an ad, ditional railway facility, not a depot nor another mile of rail.
 "There would probably have been more (traffic agreements) had there been more lawyers at that period de. voting their talents which nature en. dowed them with, to the invention of little schemes by which their clients could promote their interests. ''
 "A man who has spent ten years cul- tivating his prejudices under the belief that they amounted to moral convic- tions can not avoid certain irritation when he is invited to change his views.'
 zone of the perils of our form of government is that it seldom can take up more than one thing at a time.'
 "There seems to be in human nature a desire to get not only all that is com ing, but to get whatever is within reach, and that infrmity in human ma ture is neither regenerated nor sancti- fled when man is appointed vice-pres- id~t of a trunk line or traffic manager Iof transcontinental system.

FUNDS DROP FROM SIGHT

One of the mysteries of the capital is what became of the fund of $l0O,OO subscribed in 1868 to build a Lincoln memorial. Some of the subscribers who still live have started an inquiry, but thus far they \have not learned any thing that helps to shed light on the peculiar occurrence. The Lincoln Mem orial association was incorporated by a special act of congress and was in dorsed by many prominent men through out the country. Some of the subscrip- tions received by the treasurer, General F. F. Spinner, who was an extreasurer of the United States, were as follows:
 Placerville, Cal, $l,000; J. H. Gray, postmaster at Austin, New, $100; A. Griffith, postmaster at Yolo, Cal, $50;
 The Old Colony National Bank, Ply mouth, Mass, $59; and others. The

culated to put the regulars on the de. fensive. The progressive senators, es. pecially, have an understanding among themselves that they will not only look after their own particular fights for re. election, but that they will carry the war into Africa, and by means of speakers and literature, invade the ter. ritory of the, enemy wherever the seed of insurgency has been sown. This means, probably, that the progressive propaganda will be pushed with zeal from Maine to California. They even hope to see the latter state as well as others which are commonly considered more receptive to their doctrines, won over from the high tariff camp. Just what will be the details of their cam paign is not known, perhaps, to them
 selves, but they are willing to admit that their campaign will be conducted with great vigor and enthusiasm.

chauffeur whether he was married. When the chauffeur answered in the affirma- tive, the young man said to him: "Why. then, are you not at home with your wife9" The chauffeur had him prompt ly arrested and the magistrate fined the prisoner ten dollars.
 Mayor Gaynor, whose election last fall caused some misgivings in the minds of the better class of citizens, has given them an agreeable surprise. In the few months of his administration he has won for himself an enviable record and al- most every week he adds further proofs of his ability and efficiency. He has ai- ready accomplished great deal in the way of stopping graft and extravaganza in the expenditure of public funds and is still continuing the good work. The other day he put his foot upon the prop osition to provide and maintain an auto mobile for the coroner of Richmond bor- ough. In his letter, squelching the little scheme, Mayor Gaynor proved himself somewhat of a humorist, by stating that walking is good in the Borough of Richmond" as he knew from his own experience.
 Some persons are born unlucky, and one of those unfortunates is Jake Mar melstein, the owner of a little candy store in the Jewish district of the East side. Two years ago he was to marry his beloved Rosie. He obtained a mar riage license, but owing to an unexpect- death in Rosie $ family the wedding had to be postponed. Jake carefully pur away the license for future use. The other day the postponed marriage was to take place and several hundred guests were assembled to witness the ceremony and take past in the feast 10 follow, when by mistake it was discoy- cred that the license clerk had given Jake the wrong license. There Was great consternation and Jake started out to have the license corrected The it. 'cense clerk was in bed when Jake pounu. red on his door. He positively refused to make night trip to the city hall to make out another license and nothing re- mained but to postpone the wedding once more.

NEED MONEY TO PRINT REPORTS


 NEED MONEY TO PRINT REPORTS Certain decidedly scandalous matters in the flea family, the tick tribe and the hookworm clan, threaten to be made public, but at present the lack of funds to print reports of the marine hospial are saving the pride of the ,aforemen- toned families. What the doctors have discovered about the pests in question is understood to be highly important to the human family. The doctors have not only pried into the affairs of the organisms mentioned, but they have aditional data regarding the tubercle bacillus and leprous organism, and possi- bly, some observations or the bubonic plague, which has got busy with ground squirrels and gophers as well as rats. Congress. has been asked by Secretary MacVeigh to appropriate $5O,OOO to enable the doctors to tell all they know and the matter is under consideration.
