predicament. Men
have been saved from
hanging after the rope
was around their necks.
There are ways of dying
that are not so quick
that are even more cer.
min. The man who
neglects his health, and
w 210 in sickness refuses
to take medicine, really
has the rope of disease
around his neck. He
will die if he doesn’t,
throw it off. A man
who would struggle
against hanging may
yet be careless about
his health. He may be
traveling straight to-
. ward consumption and
pay no attention to it,
and yet death by con-
Fum tion is much more .terrible than
deat by hanging. Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery will cure 98 per cent.
of all cases of consumption. Consump~
tion is likely to be caused by weakness
and in its turn, it increases the weakness.
The “Golden Medical Discovery ” is an
invigorating, strength:giving and flesh-
making medicine. It increases_the appe-
tite, puts the digestive or ans in perfect
order, purifies and critic es the blood,
and builds up firm, healthy flesh.
In one chapter of Dr. Pierce‘s great thousand
page family doctor book—“The People's Com-
mon Sense Medical Adviser," are scores of let-
ters from people who have been cured of con-
. sumption. lingering cou hs, throat and bronchial
diseases by the use 0 “Golden Medical D15-

It was after the medical associatior
had adjourned the other night that the
fluff old doctor called in several of his

“Tuesday morning about 2 O‘clock

by an agitated voice to hurry to Some

of life and death. Getting there post

he howled. His head was cnve‘iOpcd

with hot poultices. He sailed into me

half the people died while waiting for
a doctor, jawed his wife because she
hadn’t sense enough to tell him that
he had no slippers on, and then told
her to call a lawyer so he could put

until we found out whether there was
anything the matter.
“ ‘Anything the matterl’ . echoed
Sems. ‘Great Heavens! man, the side

A SHREWD TRICK.
Which Helped the Excavators in Digging
Their Trench.
People in general cannot understand
the doings of a student of nature. lis—
pccially quite ignorant persons are apt
to conclude, when told that the Objects
of his search are fossils or minerals,
that under this explanation is con-
cealed the purpose of securing some
buried treasure, for that is the only
thing that would induce them to dig.
Mr. A. L. Adams relates an amusing
instance of this reasoning:
\Vliilc excavating a large cavern on
the southern coast of Malta, we had
dug a trench in the soil on its floor
some six feet in depth, in quest of or»
ganlc remains. The natives in the vi-
cinity, hearing of our presence, came
in numbers daily to witness the pro-
ceedings, interrogating the workmen
with reference to the object of our re-
searches, of which the workmen were
about as ignorant as themselves.
One afternoon three stalwart fellows
paid us a visit, and whilst they sat on
the heap of dirt staring down into the
dark ditch below, I dropped a Spanish
dollar on u shovclful of earth, and the
next moment it lay with the soil on
the heap. Picking it up in a careless
manner, I put it into our luncheon bug,
and a, few minutes afterward our
friends disappeared, muttering to one
another as they went.
Great was our amusement the next
morning to find that our trench had
been carried fully four feet below the
level we had gained on the previous
evening. Not only that; several other
excellent sections of the floor had been
made by the natives in expectation of
finding buried treasure.
Accepted‘ Her Suggestion.
She looked up into his eyes pleading-
ly.
“Algernon,” she said, “I’ve a little
favor that I should like to ask of you.
I’m sure you will grant it, won’t you,
dear? It’s about your farewell bach-
clor dinner.”
“Certainly,” replied Algernon Wine—
biddlc.
“You won't think me silly, will you?
Well, then, Algie, won‘t you please
have it after we are married? The in-
dlctment of the prospective bride-
groom after the dinner always takes
up so much room that the papers say
hardly anything about the wedding a
all.”—New York Herald.
A Pleasant Exchange.
Joseph Gillott. the manufacturer of

“I have come to swap some of my

“What do you mean?" exclaimed
Turner. “You do not paint.”

The following interesting statement
appears in the report Of the Jefferson
Luboratory of President Eliot of llur-
yard: “Professor Jackson, with Mr. M.

THE ARBITRATION TREATY.
A Predict-ion That It “rill Not Be Rati-

Said to lie Slated For Em-

.. J,‘ . .
hasmngton, March Ell—Tho members .
of the executive committee appointed by
the monetary conference held in Indianap-
olis some weeks ago, have had interview
partment. The committee, which was
headed by chairman H. H. Hanna of In-
dianapolis, discussed with the secretary
the question of the probability of congress
at once authorizing the appointment of a
monetary commission on the revision of out
monetary system as recommended by the
Indianapolis conference and also by Presi-
dent McKinley in his inaugural message.
Mr. Gage expressed himself as fully con-
vinced of the necessity for such a commis-
sion, and he thought that no good could
result. from delaying: its appointment.
Business throughoun the country was
greatly depressed, and it was his opinion
that; there could be no delay in taking
measures for the general relief. There was.
however, ho said, in some quarters serious
doubt; of the expediency of allowing legis-
lation of any character what-over to inter-
fere with lll'J consideration and prompt
passage of a. tariff measure.
It; is understood that the house is ready
at any time to carry out. the president’s
viOWS as to a. monetary commission and a
revision of our monetau‘y system. In the
senate. however. it is said there is likely
to be opposition to speedy action. The
committee expects to remain in Washing-
ton a weak or so in conference with mom-
.bch of congress on the subject.
Negotiations are afoot at the instance of
the Spanish minister for a revision of our
treaties with Spain, particularly with a
view to bringing the rules as to the treat-
ment of naturalized citizens into conformi-
ty with more modern treaties. If the same
rule is to govern in the revised treaty as
applies to these. two years’ domicile by a
naturalized citizen in his native country
will be presumptive evidence of an aban-
donment of naturalization. If the Spanish
minister succeeds in his design. a sim-
l ilar request will be inn-{to by the Turkish
minister in behalf of his government.
Postotiice Applications.
Since the change administration over
lfiled at tho post-oli'ice department.
80,000 applicatiom- i‘ur postofl‘ices have been
The
number is said to be somewhat smaller
than four years ago. All the paperohave
been recorded and classified and the cases
nado up to date. Up to the close of the
week the appointment division Of the in-
terior department had recorded 1,000 ap-
plications for presidential posit-ions under
the interior department.
.‘r Litor Warren of Wyoming has had a
con .‘encc with the Republican members
of . '13 senate committee on finance on
soln "ilos of the tariff bill affecting west-
ern :.:-;erests. He made some suggestions
concerning the wool schedule, especially
concerning third class wools, looking more,
however, to a change in adjustment than
a change of rates. The senator also urged
upon the commit-tee the propriety of a. re-
turn to the policy of puttinga duty on
hides, which have been on the free list for
several years past, both in the present law
and in tho McKinley law. He also sug-
gested changes in the rates on soda, as-
bcstus and plumbago, all of which are
product-s of Wyoming. The committee
promised to take the suggestions int-o con-
sideration along with others to be made
by other senators, it. being understood
that all senators are to have an opportu-
nity to be heard.
The Arbitration Treaty.
Senators interested in the ratification of
the general treaty of orbit-ration between
the United States and Great Britain sent
in the senate by President Cleveland have
given the probable action by the senate
the most careful consideration and have
reached the conclusion that, even as
amended, the treaty cannot secure the
two-thirds vote necessary to ratify it.
It; is believed that; unless the senate falls
back on the ideas of Lord Salisbury and
repudiate; entirely the . more advanced
ground taken by Mr. Clncy the treaty is
bound to fail. Three times has this most
important convention been referred to the
committee on foreign relations for consid-
eration and report. Three times has that.
commit-tee submitted its‘ report, and the
debate thereon has been exhaustive and
prolonged. The longer it continues the
more likely it appears that the treaty can-
not. get. through the senate.
Senator Platt has authorized the state-
inent that Andrew D. White has been se-
lected for the German einbassadorship.
This he did after an interview with Presi-
dent McKinley. The senator indicated
that; the nomination of Mr. White would
be sent to the senate early in the week.
It seems to be settled that Charlemagne
Tower of Philadelphia will go as envoy
extraordinary and minister plonipotentiary
to Austria.
“'allrer’s Financial Bills.
Representative Walker of Massachusetts
has introduced two bills relating to bank-
ing and currency, entitled respectively “To
modify the national bank laws so as to
provide the people with a. safe, ample,
elastic and cheap currency” and "To call
in and cancel the paper money now injur‘
in? the prosperity of the country.”
he first bill provides that; hereafter no
national bank shall be required to deposit
bonds to secure circulation, and circula-
ting notes are to be issued up to the
amount of the unimpaired capital of a
bank. The same reserve is required for
the circulating notes as for individual de-
posits. The cash reserve shall be in specie
and at least. one-half of it in gold. Specie
shall be paid on demand under penalty of
24 per“ cent interest as damages during
the time of refusal so to pay.
The other bill provides for the issue of
$750,000,000 of bonds under the act of
Jan. 19, 1875, running from two to ten
years and drawing 2.1/5 per cent interest.
The proceeds are to be used in redeeming
and canceling outstanding United States
legal tender notes, treasury and silver cer-
tificates. The bill further authorizes the
sales of silver bullion and silver dollars in
the treasury at the market value whenever
such silver dollars cannot be kept in circu-
lation as money. The proceeds of the sale
of silver shall reduce the issue of bonds to
that extent.
