WASHINGTON. Jan. s. Con-
gress got the first of its appropria-
ton bills yesterday These bills
provide the funds to run the gov
ernment for the fiscal year, and
a glance gives impressive evidence
of how extensive a business the
government has come TO be.
The bill reported 10 the house
Yesterday is the first deficiency
bill. and it carries a total of Sl25,-
1886, ,262. .75-a large sum but, COM
paratively. perhaps the least im-
portant OF the appropriation bills.
It's main items are $4,000, 900 for
public roads, 46,872000 for the
veterans administration. and ST.
100000 for public buildings, chiefly
in the District of Columbia. Then
comes the mass OF small appro-
priations which give some idea OF
the vast extent of government ac-
tivities
There is a total OF S293 ,594.3l ap-
propriated just to balance the gov
ernment books. This is made up
of small items which have been
allowed by the general claims Of
flee against funds long since either
exhausted or turned back into the
general treasury.
A study of this section reveals
that the government still is ap..
propriating for the pay of soldiers
of the Spanish war.
There is an item of s33006 for
pay of army-war with SPAIN
And the World war bills still are
coming in. There is an appropria-
ton of SO for the United States
food administration, of which
Herbert Hoover was the head dur
ing the war.
1t is for someone's expense ac-
count, unsettled through many
years. -Four dollars also is appro-
priated for registration and Sc
lection for military service"-the
old selectiye service machinery of
war days, now extinct.
The vic oWs of IL congressman
who have died since the last ap-
preparation bills were passed are
to be paid $4,000 each under the
terms Of the bill. The list includes
Alice Roosevelt Longworth. widow
of the late speaker Nicholas
LongWorth.
In another item the bill appro-
PIRATES $3.50 for the education OF
colored deaf mutes, and follows
with a plunge into the football
stadium business. 1t appropriateS
$4,000 for a stadium at Western
I hign school and $1,000 for a sta
dium at Dunbar high school, both
in the District of Columbia. A lit

THE CHAMBERLAIN INCIDENT

IT is not likely that there will be any
serious trouble over the assault on an
American consular agent in Japan, nor
should there be-
Scareheads on the incident in some
papers would indicate that it was some
thing warranting sending of few war
ships to Japan when such is not the case.
Certainly the incident is to be regretted
and the japanese guard responsible for
the attack on Mr.. Chamberlain should
be punished severely. Japan should, and
probably will, see to it that the guilty
party is properly disciplined, and the
United States should see to it that Japan
does so.
We say the incident is not reason for

bit. But never have we done it.
Now you come here, all excited
and you bump into me and then
you say it's about Uncle Wiggily.
BAIL I say to you. Two bahs and
o pish tush!"
Now just minutel" meWed the
Bob Cat. Wait until you hear it
all. Uncle Wiggily is going to he
stylish and have his fur curled SO
he will look pretty like Mr.. Butter,
the goat. Uncle Wiggily is in the
woods now, looking for a beauty
shop"
We'll, what of it?" asked the
Fox, taking an old chestnut burr
out of his tail. What do 1 care9'
You ought to care said the
Bob Cat. For you and I are 60
ing to open a beauty shop and
when Uncle Wiggily comes in to
get his fur curled-well, 1 guess
we'll know what to do TO him-eh?'
The Bob Cat winked one eye az
the Fox and the Fox looked up
quickly and with more interest.
oh, SO that's the game, is it?"
asked the Fox.
That's it" answered his friend
Wen start a beauty shop right
here and now, in your den. I'll
hang a sign up outside and when
Uncle Wiggily comes along, which
he is sure to do soon, he will see
it and come in to get his fur
curled. But ne will be more than
curled."
You're right" chuckled the
Fox. He'll be nibbled. All right,
Bob Cat, I'll take another chance
with you. Get the beauty shop
sign ready. Then you and l will
hide behind the door and when
that rabbit comes in to get curled
well, we shall see what happens
"Hal Hal" chuckled the Bob Cat.

Fewer, Less Severe Colds
With 'Colds-Control' Plan

Then-if you feel that stuffy,
sneezy irritation of the nasal pas
sages. Natures usual signal that a
cold is coming on-use Vicks Nose
Drops at once-just a few drops up
each nostril. Repeat every hour or
SO If needed. This will prevent
many colds by stopping them be-
fore they get beyond the nose and
throat-Where most colds start.
2.-After Cold Starts
At night, massage the throat and
chest well with Vicks VapoRub (now
available in white stainless" form,
if you prefer. Spread on thick and
cover with warm flannel. Leave
the bed-clothing loose around the
neck SO that the medicated vapors
arising can be inhaled all night
long
If the air-passages are badly
clogged with mucus, melt some
VapoRub in a bowl of hot water and
inhale the steaming vapors for sew
eral minutes. If there is a cough,
you will like the new Wick Cough
Drop-actually medicated with in
gradients of Vicks VapoRub).
During the day-any time, any
place--use Vicks Nose Drops every
few hours rs needed. This gives
you fun 24-hour treatment and
without the risks of too much in
ternal dosing which so often up
sets digestion-especially of chill
dren.

States is offering Vicks Nose g.
Throat Drops and Vicks VapoRub
on the following trial guarantee:
Use together as directed in the
Wick Plan for better "Control-of-

Had His Liquor
In Wrong Place

Clemente Barajes Castro, %, had
Just too much whisky in the wrong
place, 50 he is in the county jail
today.
If Castro had been carrying the
whisky inside he might have es-
capped with nothing more than a
charge of being drunk, but the
Mexican was carrying Is pints OF
the liquor, so United States Gus
toms officers arrested him in
Heber last night on charge OF
smuggling.
Castro was awaiting arraignment
today before Dorsey WhitelaW,
United States commissioner, to de-
termine if he shall be held for trial
by the federal court in San Diego.

Fox and on 4 piece of white birch
bark he made a sign which read:
BEAUTY SHOPPE
FUR CURLED
SPECIAL ATTENTION TO
DAPpJrr cENrrr ENEEN

BEAUTY SHOPPE
FUR CURLED
SPECIAL ATTENTION TO
RABBIT GENTLEMEN
That ought to bring him in!"
chuckled the Bob Cat as he went
back in the den to hide with the
Fox and wait for the rabbit.
Meanwhile, Uncle Wiggily, hav.
ing talked with Mr.. Butter about
having his fur curled, was hopping
through the woods looking for a
place where he could have it done.
All of a sudden the rabbit gen.
tleman saw the birch bark sign.
"Oh no! A beauty shop!"
chuckled Mr.. Longears. Just what
am looking for. I'll go in and
have a bit of a curl and then I'll
look stylish like Uncle Butter, the
goat"
Uncle Wiggily did not know this
was the den of the Fox, for it was
new home for that Bad Chap.
So, thinking of no danger, Mr.
Longears opened the door of the
den and stepped inside. He saw
an easy chair, with some towels
over the back and ne said to
himself:
Il guess I'm supposed to sit
there" So he sat down. But he
saw no beauty shop lady and he
wondered who was going to curl
his fur, so he spoke aloud and
said: rs anybody here? I want
a treatment"
Just then the Bob Cat, wearing
an old dress that had belonged to
Mrs. Fox, came out from behind
the door with a hair curler which
the Fox lady often used.
I'll curl you!" mewed the Bob
Cat softly. At the same time he
whispered to the Fox, who also
came from behind the door: Get
ready now! Well nibble himl" The
Bob Cat thought he was so
changed that Uncle Wiggily
wouldn't know him III the dress
Of the Fox lady. But, all of a sud
den the rabbit saw, sticking out
OF mole IN tne dreSS, the silly
little tail of the Bob Cat. Right
away Uncle Wiggily knew he had
been fooled and was in a trap.
mo you don't!" he shouted. 81
guess I don't want my fur curled
today" With that he jumped out
of the beauty shop chair and ran
from the den of the Fox before
he could be caught and so got
away.
That was a narrow cscapcp
said the rabbit as he reached his
bungalow. Il guess my fur will dc
as it is. No more beauty shops fol
me- And if the telephone will tell
the player piano a story about the
chocolate cakes party, you shall
hear next about Uncle Wiggily's
leaf soup.

SPOILTNG 4 GOOD ONE

WE have very high opinion of Mr..
w John 5. Garner, speaker of the house
of representatives, as doubtless others
have who do not agree with him in poll
tics.
Mr. Garner has ability and his record
in public life is an excellent one. He is
exceptionally we'll fitted to hold his pres
ent office and his Democratic brethren
might do much worse than to pick him
as the standard bearer for 1892.
But whatever appeal Mr.. Garner may
have both to his followers and to politi-
cal Independents in this respect, is go
ing to be seriously jeopardized and dimin
ished by some of his supporters.
Endorsement of him by William Ran
dolph Hearst is not going to do Mr..
Garner any particular good as possible
Democratic candidate for the presidency.
Mr. Hearst has been thoroughly dis
credited as political supporter, and as
a few other things.
If Mr.. Garner and his friends have
any idea Of proposing him as the STAN
dard bearer Of Democracy, the best favor
they can do him is to put a damper on
any supporting movement from Mr..
Hearst.

 The shares will be divided in- stead among the seven central banking institutions that created the world bank. including the Bank of England despite Britain's sus- pension of the gold standard.

 New York, May 9.-(UPl-- Trading on the stock exchange stagnated to-day as traders await ed assurance that congress would carry out demands for balancing the budget.
 Quick action of the senate finance committee in reporting the new tax bill created q good feeling but failed to bring much buying in- to the stock market. Prices mere. ly drifted in a fractional range throughout the first four hours of trading and showed a confusing mixture of gains and losses at mid. afternoon.
 Transactions to noon approxi- mated 100000 shares, compared with 100000 shares Saturday, tn- dicating the turnover for the en- tire session would not exceed the three-quarter million share mark by large margin.
 Few of the larger traders were active in the market, most of the days transactions representing buying and selling by Q small group of floor traders. It was evi- dent that the street was awaiting further news developments before reentering the market on large scale.
 Tn only a small number of cases did fluctuations in major stocks exceed . point or two and move. ments were too small for speculat- ors to catch the swings. Issues like United States Steel, American Telephone, Allied Chemical and Atchison, which made the best
