SPRINGFIELD, Mo.
GENTLEMEN: I commenced taking P.
P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, last
Fall, for Erysipelas. My face was com-
pletely covered with the disease ; I took
a short course of P. P. P., and it soon
disappeared. This Spring I became
much debilitated and again took an-
other course, and I am now in good
condition. I consider P. P. P. one of
the best blood preparations on the
market, and for those who need a. gen-
eral tonic to build up the system and
improve the appetite I consider that it
has no equal. Will say, anyone who
cares to try P. P. P. will not be disap-
pointed in its results, and I, therefore,
cheerfully recommend it.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo.
GENTLEMEN': Last June I had a
scrofulous sore which broke out on my
ankle. It grew rapidly, and soon ex-
tended from my ankle to my knee. I
got one bottle of your P. P. P., Lipp-
man’s Great Remedy, and was agree-
ably surprised at the result. The entire
sore healed at once. I think I have
taken almost every medicine recom-
mended for scrofula and catarrh, and
your P. P. P. is the best I have ever
tried. It cannot be recommended too
highly for blood poison, etc. ‘
Yours very truly.

“Embezzlement of $100,000, good and ’
lawful money of the United States,”
is the charge on which Judge Dunne
_ issued a bench warrant for the arrest
of Charles W. Spalding, ext-Treasurer
of the University of Illinois,
banker of prominence in Chicago. Un-
der the charge Spalding went to jail.
He is a man sixty years old, with
whom his wife did not live. He was
lavish in his expeenditures upon other
lady friends, prominent among whom
was S. Louise Ervin, whose brothers
were ushers and passed the plate in
the Third Presbyterian Church of Chi-
cago. To her he gave a diamond neck-
lace worth $12,000. Since Spalding
went to jail, Alexander Mitchell, his
coulchman, has been out of a job. He
formerly reported each morning to
Miss Ervin for orders, but finally re-
belled at the imperiousness and multi-
plicity of the orders given him.
“Drive me down to my bank,” was
one of the orders he formerly received
from Miss Ervin when he appeared
with the Spalding carriage and pair.

JESSIE BARTLETT DAVIS’ FAVORITE
SONG IS ”SWEET GENEVIEVE.”
Dan Leno is Here at 2. Salary of $1,500 a

Eutreaties to Act in This Country but
Finally Hammerstein Captured Him.
Jessie Bartlett Davis has been known
to New Yorkers as one of the most
engaging of the Bostc-nians ever since
they made their great reputation at
the Standard Theatre years ago in
Robin Hood. The company has never
come here since then without her, and
the theatre-goers would probably re-
sent it if such an experiment should
‘be tried. The company is full of fa-
vorites, and she is one of the chief of
them. Her favorite song is Sweet
Genevieve, and I will quote her own
remarks in reference to it: “The song
I love best in all the world is Sweet
Genevieve. It got me every good en-
gngement I ever had. I went to see
Mr. Davis when he was manager of
the Chicago Choir Company. I want-
ed more money than I was getting,
and I applied for an engagement. I
sang Sweet Genevieve, and got the
part of Little Buttercup. I frequently
in love with the song and married the
singer. W'he-n the American Opera
Company was getting into shape I
went to see Theodore Thomas, and
when he said he would like to hear
something I knew how to sing, I gave
him Sweet Genevieve. ‘Well,’ he said,
‘any girl that can sing a love song like
that can sing American Opera,’ and he
engaged me. When I applied for an
engagement in the Mapleson Grand
Opera Company. Mr. Mapleson made
an appointment for me to meet Mme.
Patti, and I gave her Sweet Gene-

f
vieve. She heard me through the
whole song, and applauded by clap-
ping my face between her two hands.
Mr. Barnabee admitted me to my pres-
ent position in the Bostonians on the
strength of the lamented Genevieve,
and he pays me the mischevo-us coin-
plim-ent of getting out his handkerchief
every time I sing it. Of course he on
ly does it to break me up, but I shall
sing Sweet Genevieve till my voice
cracks.”
Dan Leno has arrived in New York,-
and if reports are correct, he is very
different from Chevalier. He is about
35 years old, and has been on the
stage .a score of years. In Birming-
ham, Leeds, and other cities in Eng-
land Leno has long had a reputation
as a singer and dancer. For many
years the London stage was inaccess-
ible to him, until he finally found an
opening as a clog dancer. He defeat-
ed the champion of England in a clog
dance, but after his dances he invari-
ably found that he was physically ex-
hausted to such an extent that all he
earned by dancing went to the physi-
cians. His next attempt was as a
comedian. He succeeded so well that
he has continued in the same line ever
since. Off the stage Leno is a short,
slender person, with the typical com-
edian’s face Naturally he began-life
at a comparatively microscopic sal-
ary, but now he commands his own
prices at all times in the London halls.
During the pantomime season he is
the most sought for and highest priced
performer on the stage. William Ham-
merstein first began negotiations for
his appearance in this country last
season at Brighton, England, and for
nearlya week the little man was deaf
to all arguments. Finally he capitui
lated and agreed to come here at a sal-
ary of $1,000 a week. Two days later.
when the agreement was laid before
him to sign, he refused, and then an
awkward pause follow-ed, until VVil-
liam Hammerstein took up the pen
L’and made the amount $1,500 per week.
Leno looked at him in admiration, and
quietly signed without another word.

WASHINGTON , NOTES.
The greater part of the contents of
the Congressional Record These days
is composed of belated revis-icns of re-
marks made in the House while the
Dinglcy Tariff bill was under discus-
sion, or post-mortem observations on
the general subject of the bill, which
are printed by the authority of the
House contained in the Special order
adopted for regulating the considera-
tion 01" the measure in the ’House. It
provided tliatifor twenty days subse-
quent to the final vote on the passage
of the bill members might print in the
{ecoi'd extensions of remarks made
in the debate, or, if they so desired.
Sliem'llt-‘S, of which no part had been
delivered. This practice of granting
"leave to print” has come down to the
present from the midst of antiquity,
as it were, and no one now knows its
origin. It is and has been grossly
abused, and at times has been the oc-
casion of animated discussions in the
House as to the right of a member to
insert remarks he never made in the
House."
chresentative Wheeler of Alabama
holds the record for expansion, under
"leave to print.” Getting the floor for
here were astounded to see in the Rec-
ord the next morning that in that min-
ute he had delivered himself of about
four wages of the Record, a space
which ordinarily covers an hour to an
hour and a half of proceedings. Dr.
Hunter, a member from Illinois, whose
speech on the tarifi bill appeared last
week, seems likely to give the genial
Alabamian a close brush for first place.
His post-mortem effort covers twenty-
iive pages of the Record, and is be-
lieved to be an unequaled performance
in its line. ,
’l‘hc withholding of speeches for re-
hoary-headed precedent, is subject to
criticism. There is apparently no rule
regulating the matter, and the con-
sequence is that the Record occasion-
ally fails to record the proceedings.
A member on one occasion made a
speech the newspaper report of which
formed the basis of an attack by his
opponent in the next campaign. The
Congressman denied having uttered
the remarks attributed to him and ap-
pealed to the Record to sustain him.
The challenge was eagerly accepted by
his rival, who not being up to all the
tricks of Congressmen, was covered
with CTllfllSlOll at his failure to find the
alleged speech. The member had sim-
ply “withheld his remarks for re-
vision,” and then clamly pocketed them.
In the old days of the Congressional
Globe the reporters of debates were the
victims of this practice. Among the
traditions at the Capitol is one in
which the late Gen. Nathaniel P.
Banks, atone time Speaker, was the
chief actor. The story goes that at one
stage of his career Mr. Banks was a
pupil of a teacher of elocution in
Washington, and he sought every op-
portunity on the floor of the House to
practise the art. Many of these
speech-es, evidently, he did not care to
embalm for posterity in the enduring
record of the House proceedings. Af-
ter/having concluded, he would ask the
reporter to withhold the manuscript
from the printer and give it to him for
revision. These speeches, it is related,
he never returned, and subsequently
a chestful or two were found in his
room. In those days the Globe report-
ers were paid$4 a column for their
work as it appeared in print, and it
cost them about $1 of this to tran-
scribe their _notes. So it may easily be
inferred that that part of the tradi-
tion which avers that whenever Mr.
Banks rose to speak a groan traversed
the reporters' bench is true.
An interesting feature of the Me-
Kinley Administration is the warm
friendship existing between President
McKinley and Vice-President Hobart.
The tradition that places the incum-
bent of'the Vice-Presidential office in
the embarrassing situation of a man
with a big title and bearing no relation
whatever to the Governmental ma-
chine, except to preside over the de-
liberations of the Senate, without the
rig-ht to make a speech or the power to
vote, has at last been broken. It was
an open secret in Washington all dun
lag the Cleveland Administration that
Vice-President Adlai Stevenson was as
much of a, stranger to the White House
as was Senator Gorman, and all
through no fault whatever of Adlai. As
far back as Buchanan’s time, when
Iohn C. Breckinridge, one of the ab-
lest and most popular Southern men in
public life, was Vice-President, the oc-
cupant of that office .was ignored by
:he President. Breckinridge was never
consulted by Buchanan but once, and
that was in November preceding the
close of his official term, when the
President asked him for his opinion as
McKinley and Vice-President Hobart
be the wording of his Thanksgiving
proclamation. Mr. Stevenson never
had even that honor conferred upon
him, but seemed to be absolutely for-
gotten by the President all during his
term. Vice-President Morton was on
good terms with President Harrison,
but there was no real intimacy be-
tween them.
All this is changed new. President
are the very best of friends, and, in
1. way, companions as well. Mr. I-Io-
"cart is a frequent caller at the White
House, where he is constantly ”con-
sulted on official matters, and the
President often asks him up at night to
his private office, where they sit and
that and talk over afiairs of state and
other things less important to the
:ountry. President McKinley not only
recognizes the Vice—President as an im-
portant adjunct of the Administration,
out he has displayed a very friendly

None'to Waste.
The author of “Campaigning in
South Africa and Egypt” gives a per-
tinent illustration of.the virtue there
is in necessity. He had been asked by
a friendly Beer in Africa to go out
shooting. Accordingly, he writes, I
took a rifle and a bag of cartridges and
set out for the appointed spot. When
I met my friend he said:
“What have you got in that bug——
your dinner?” ,
“No,” I answered, “cartridges.”
Whereupon he roared with laughter.
“You Englishmen must be very
rich,” said he. “They cost Sixpence
apiece here.”
“Where are yours ‘2” I asked.
“In this,” he answered, tapping his
:louble-barrelled rifle.
“You don’t intend to shoot much?"
“Two spring buck are all I can cer-
L‘y."
“Suppose you miss?”
“Nobody misses when a cartridge
costs sixpence.”
There was something instructive in
the remark. It perhaps proved why
the Boers had, in 1881, beaten the Eng-
lish, for the Boer, unwilling to waste
his ammunition, will aim and take
down his rifle a dozen times, until he
is going. to get
something for his cartridge.
On the occasion in question my
friend got his two bucks, while I fired
five cartridges and got none.

AN ECDOTES 0F ARTISTS.
Made Pigeons Drunk in Order to Give the
Desired Effect in a Picture. .
The memo-rial exhibitions "bring out
some interesting anecdotes of the
painters represented at them. Here is
one concerning Leighton: In painting
“Summer Slumber,” where every ac-
cessory depicts somnolence, he was
much troubled with. the pigeons which
rest on the balustrade behind the fig-
ure. They were in- the most wide-
:iwsike mood until, upon some one’s
suggestion, he gave them some gram
steeped in whiskey, whereupon they
satisfied his requirements as long and
as often as he wished. ,.
Here is another concerning Alfred
iirzzt: He was at the same time both
a. vr-ry slow and a. fastidziouvsly punc-
tilious sketcher from nature—a com‘
bination which is said to have has-
tened his end. For he had a block for
every hour of the day and every con-
dition of weather, and, overladen with
these, he would often trudge a lengthy,
distance to his work. He would then
start, say, on an incomplete morning
effect in sunshine, to be cast aside for
a similar subject in shadow if the
scene clouded over, or for a noon-day;
one directly that the hour was
reached. It is said that he conse-
quently sometimes carried as many as
a dozen varieties of the same View.

The good lady scrutinized him close

“Didn’t. I give, you a whole mince
pie a day or two ago?" she inquired in
tones which resembled an amateur
cold wave for iciness.
“Yes, mum,” replied the occupant of
the outcast overcoat, “I’m the same
party; but I’ve recovered, and if you’ll
make it plain bread and milk this
time, I’ll be heartily obliged.”—Balti-

ful.”

many times a day there is danger that
