~From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Jan. 24,.98.
Czar Read has one commend-
able trait"frankness. When he
learned that the Committee on
Territories was inclined to favor-
ably report bills tor the admis.
gion of Arizor a, New Mexico and
Oklahoma, as states, he told the
members fiat-footea that it was
useless for them to do so, aS he
did not intend that those terri-
tories should bo admitted, so
long as he had the power to pre-
vent, and the present conditions
continue to exist. He added
that it was simply a question of
gold against silver, it being well
known that each of the terri-
tories named would send two sil-
ver mente the Senate, if they
had the opportunity.
The hot fight made for recog-
nition of Cuba, by the Democrats
of the House, has frightened the
whols administration outfit yery
badly. The foke news of Spapish
succeses in Cuba also indicate
that the fright has extended to the
Spaniards The fighting isn't
over yet. Representative Bai-
ley prevedon the floor of the
House that the efforts of the De-
mocrats were thwarted for the
time, cnly by a breach of faith on
the part of Czar Reed and Mr
Hitt.
Senator White, of California,
who is leading the fight against
the ratification of the annexation
treaty, is so confident that the
treaty cannot be ratified that he
proposed to Senator Davis, who
has charge of the treaty, that
a day be set for taking the yote
aud the proposition was declined.
That ttle incident tells the
story of the situation as well as it
eouldbe done in a column of
space.
The refusal of the House
Committee on Banking Currency
which has been holding daily
sessions in order to hear every-
thing that Secretary Gage, mem-
bers of the monetarv conference
and other adyocates of the sin-
gie gold standard, migh: have
to present in the shape ofa gold
~oarguipent,to grant hearings to
representatives of the American
~imetallic Union, was an uupre-
cedent and an uncalled for insult.
The Executive Commitiee of the
American Bimetallic Union sent
every manly and dignified pro-
test to the Committee. closing
with the following appeal to the
loye of fair play that every pro-
perly constituted American has
oSo far as we are aware,tn)s is the
first time that in a maiter of so
much importance, « great Copn-
gressional Committee engaged
iv giving hearings ona proposi-
tion before it, has refused to ac-
cord a full and fair hearing to
both ides.�

@
Tn marked coutrast to the
action of the House Banking and
Currency Committee was that
of the silver Senators, whose
majority gives them the vower to
prolong the financial debate in
the Senate, as long as they might
with to doso, on the Taller reso-
~lution, declaring U.S. bonds to
be payable in silyer at. the option
of the government. They merely
desiredto adopt that resolution,
asa noticeto the gold standard
administration that gold svand-
ard legislation is aa impossibility
during the life of the present
Congress, and to put certain Sen-
ators on record for the benefit ot
their constituents, and in order to
show that they had no desire to
tuecessarily prolong the financial
debate. Senator Vest, who has
churge of the resolution, submit-
ted an agreement that the vote
be taken on Thursday of this
week, which was adopted. The
adoption of the resolution by the
Senate isa certainty; the House
will, of course, in deference to
Czar Reed allow it to be pigeon-
holed.
~The Republicans who started
outto throw down some of the
bars to the Federal offices, are|
up against a snag inthe shape
of the inability of the House
Civil Service Committee to agree
upon a bill. To conceal this dif-
ficulty and to gain time, the Com-
mittie uas started an indefinite
series of hearings, such as the
Senate Committee has been con-
ducting off and on for months.
It will be lamentableif Mr. Me-
Kinley allowsthe scheming Re-
publicians to dictate the success-
or to Ilon. Ben Butterworth, late
Commissioner of Patents, whose
funera last week, drew together
so many sorrowful public m:n,
regardless of politics. Mr. Butter-
worth did the country a great and
valuable service in reforming
abuses in the practice before the
Patent Office, and he was ably
~assistedin that wrok by Hon. A.
P. Greelv, Acting Commissioner
of Patents. Mr. McKiniey could
not show his sympathy with the
reform workdone by Mr. Butter-
worth in a more practicial way,
than by making Mr. Greely
Commissioner of Patents.
The election of Senator White,
of Caifornia, to be Chairman of
the Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committes, and the
adoption of a strong resolution,
endorsing the Chicago platform,
ended the caresr of numerous
very fcolish fairy tales.

was given a jolt at tho Metropolitan
Hotel a day or two since in a manner
that, the punetilious Nortn Carolinian
will never forget.
Only a few minutes before the acei-

constituent on the evils of drinking and
pointing to bimse'f as an example of
sobriety and total abstinence. Hang-
ing upon his arm a. this time was a
lightweight overcoat, and his hand was
tightly gripped around the handle otf a
small leather satchel. One of the
bellboys grabbed the overcoat and
satchel simultaneously for the purpose
of taking them up to Mr. RansomTs
room. In his haste the bellboy tripped
and sprawled on the floor and a suspi-
ciouslooking black bottle rolled out of
one of the overcoat pockets and was
smashed intoa thousand pieces on the
marble floor of the hotel corridor,

said Mr. Ransom, without a changing

that arose from the marble floor was

The Kansas City Journal tells
about an old farmer, who with his
wife, went to acircus the other
day. He had about him $75 in
change in his pocket, and asa
matter of precaution he took
along a reyeiver, knowing that he
would not get home until late at
night. After the circus was over
the old tarmer spied a oshell
game� and tried to beat is. In
about 10 minutes he had lost $75.
His wife was present at the per-
formance. She concluded that
the old man had got up against 4
orecular swindling game,� as she
termed it, and decided to help him
out. Shetook the revolver out of
his pocket ana poked it under the
nosa of the operator of the shell
game and coolly told him to
give back the old manTs money.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH,
A Pleasant Simple, but Safe Ef-
0 fectual Cure forjit,
$
Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to
incurable,
The usual symptoms are a fuli or
bloating sensation after eating, accom"
panied sometimes with sour or watery
risings, a formation of gases, causing
pressure on tke heart and lungs and
difficult breathing; headachc fickle
appetite, nervousness and a_ general
played out, languid feeting.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and it the
interior of the stomach could be seen
it would showa slimy, inflamed con-
Jition.
The cure for this common and
obstinate trouble is found in a treay-
ment which causes the tood to "e
readily, thoroughly digested before jt
has avime to ferment and urritate tue
delicate mucous surfaces of the
stomach. | |
To secure a prcmpt and_ healthy
digestion is the one necessary thing to
do, and when normal digestioa is
secured the -caturrhal condition will
have disappeared.
According to Dr. Harlanson the
safestT and best treatment is to use
after each meal a tablet, composed of
Distsste, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux,
Golden Seal en fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at
all drug stores uacer the name of
StuarsTs Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not
leing a patent medicine, can be used
with perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough digestion
will follow their recular use after meals.
Mr, N. J. Booher ct 2710 Dearborn
St., Chicago, Ill, writes: oCatarrh
isa docal condition resulting from a
neglected cold in the head, whereby
the nose
Lécomes mflamed and the poisonous
discharge theretrum, passing backwerd
into the throat, reaches the stemach,
thus producing catarrh of the stomach.

SEA DUSTY
Gcean Fogs That Are Full of Fine Par.
ticles of a Yellowish Powder..
People laughed at the man who
said that the fish he had hooked
okicked up such,a dust in the wa-
ter.� Perhaps they will laugh at
the heading of this article, but there
will be sea dust nevertheless.
We have heard of waterspouts, of
showers of fish, of salt rain and
many other curiosities which pre-
sent themselves in the atmosphere,
but to assert that there is such a
thing as sea dust is to transcend all
reasonable bounds. The evidence,
however, in favor of its existence is
exceedingly powerful " indisputa-
ble, in fact"and this is the story
told by eyewitnesses.
They say that in certain parts of
the world, notably about the Cape
de Verde islands, there are constant-
ly met at sea, several hundreds of
lowish red fogs, not unlike London
fogsin November. These fogs ob-
scure the atmosphere and are very
injurious to navigation, but they
have not the baleful odor of their
London prototypes, nor do they af-
fect the breathing in the same way.
While sailing through them it is
found that the ship, sails and rig-
ging are covered with a fine, im-
palpable powder, which falls as dry
rain and covers the surface on which
it falls sometimes to the depth of two
inches. Incolor it is of a bright,
brick dust hue, sometimes of a light
yellow, and it feels between the
teeth like fine grit, such as might
be blown into the mouth on a windy
day in March.
No place is free from its presence,
its fineness giving it power to pene-
trate everywhere. The sea while
the dust is falling looks as though
it had been peppered and is discolor-
ed for some distance down, Some-
times the dust comes in a shower
and passes off again, The fogs are
nothing but vast quantities of the
dust suspended in the air.
It is not only in the vicinity of
Cape de Verde that this wonderful
dust is seen. Inthe Mediterranean,
in the northern parts of Africa and
in the middle of the Atlantic it has
been reported, It is invariably the
same in kind and appearance, and
examination under microscopes has
proved the identity of, say, Cape de
Verde sea dust with Mediterranean
sea dust. All this is very remarka-
ble"dust falling in clouds, no land,
within some hundreds cf miles,
nothing visible which could possibly
account for the curious phenome-
non.
Sand spouts there are in sandy
deserts and showers of sand taken |
originally from spots whereon the |
carrier Wind has left its mark, but
here there is no desert from which
the sand ean be drawn, and the
wind, so far from being boisterous |
or disposed to play whirlwind
pranks, is light and steady, blowing |
ships along at a calm five knots an |
hour.
It is believed by scientific men
that the dust clouds of Central
America are, in all probability,
closely connected with the phenom-
enon of sca dust."Los Angeles
Times.
The Piglew Papers.
oThe Biglow PapersTT deserve to
be considered, says J. S. 'Tunison in
The Atlantic. They were not exotic.
They grew right out of the soil up-
on which the struggle culminated
that had absorbed the activities of
the whole English speaking race.
They are as real to one member of
that race as to another. Just for the
reason that in the midst of a civil
conflict with its faetional and dis- |
persive tendencies the highest flights |
of poesy were impossible, the poet |
was artistically right in turning
back to the ways and language of
common life. He has given the pas-
sion as well as the humor of his
time. He enables his readers to live
over again a period which, when it
can be seen in its entirety, without,
the distractions that were merely
incidental to it, will stand out as
the characteristic part of the nine-
teenth century, embodying in its re-'
sults all those individual and nation-
al aspirations which were hardly
more than words when the century
began. Whoever returns to the
study of thatT period will find the
details wherever he may, but he
cartalways vitalize them with the
breath of LowellTs poem.

THE CORONATION CHAIR.
It Is Claimed as the Most Precious Relic
In All England.
The most precious relic in all Eng-
land, and to the English in all Eu-
rope, is an old Gothic chair which
stands in the Chapel of St. Edward
in Westminster abbey beside the
sword and shield of Edward III. It
is made of black oak in the Gothic
style, and the back is covered with
sarved inscriptions, including the
initials of many famous men. The
feet are four lions that look like
poodle dogs with their tails curled
The seat is a
large stone about 30 inches long by
18 inches wide and 12 inches thick,
and all the sovereigns of England
for the last 800 years have sat upon
it when they were crowned. The
chair is known as the coronation
chair, and the stone is claimed to be
the same which Jacob, the son of
Isaac, the son of Abraham, used as
a pillow when he lay cown to sleep
on the starlit plains of Judah that
memorable night as he was on his
way from Beersheba to Haran in
search of a wife. It was then he
had his dream and saw angels and
archangels ascending and descend-
ing a ladder that reached to heaven,
~and Jehovah came to him and made
the great promise which is being
fulfilled to the Jews this very day.
And Jacob took the stono and set
it up for a pillow and poured oil
upon it and vowed a vow and called
the name of the place Bethel.
The kings of Israel were crowned
upon this stone from the time that
they ruled a nation"David and Saul
and Solomon and all the rest.
The story goes that 580 years be-
fore Christ, at the time of the Baby-
lonian captivity, Circa, daughter of
Zedekiah, the last king of Judiea, ar-
rived in Ireland and was married
at Tara to Heremon, a prince of the
Tuatha de Danan, which is said to
be the Celtic namo of the tribe of
Dan. The traditions relate that this
princess went,originally to Egypt in
charge of the prophet Jeremiah, her
guardian, and the palace Taphanes,
in which they resided there, was
discovered in 1886 by Dr. Petrie. the
archzeologist. After some yeais
they went hence to Ireland, and
from Circa and Heremon Qucen Vic-
toria traces her descent through
James I, who placed the lion of the
tribe of Judah upon the British
standard.
Jeremiah is said to have conceal-
ed this sacred stone at the time of
the destruction of Jerusalem and the
captivity of the Jews and to have
brought it, othe stone of the testi-
mony,TT Bethel, the only witness of
the compact between Jehovah and
Israel, to Ireland, where it was
known as the la phail (stone won-
derful). It was carried to Scotland
by Fergus I, and thence to London
in the year 1200, and has been used
at the coronation of every king and
queen of England from Edward I
down to Victoria, It is thus the
most priceless historical object in
the British empire, as if was the
palladium of Israel. It is a curious
fact that the altars of Ireland were
cai !ed bothel, houses of God.

The Reformatory Value of Happiness,
I believe it is Mr. Stevenson who
says that the duty of being happy
is the most underrated duty in the |
world. And in spite of all we may
wish or assert to the contrary there
is Indubitable evidence that happi-
ness, up to date, at least, has a basis
in physical well being. I supposed
o
~one of the reasons why the reform-
ers of the earth have not been nota-
bly delightful persons to live with
is because they were either too busy |
or too tired to be happy. And yeta
happy man, and especially a happy |
woman, is a radiating focus of re-
form, for such a person. possesses
that gentle and diffused persuasive-
~ness which leads us into willing
good endeavor simply because it
displays to us the good taste of en-
joying fine behavior."Helen Wat-
terson Moody in ScribnerTs,
