THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS.
The Senate to Wait for the Report
on the Tariff Bill.
The House to Continue to Slake a
Show of Industry on the Appro
priation Bills—The Printing Office
Bill the Unfinished Business Before
the Senate The Speeches Looked
For.
Washington, March 4.— The Senate
will wait for the finance oommittea to act
on the tariff. The House will continue to
make a show of industry on the appropri
ations bill to atone for some of its recent
bad behavior. This, in brief, is the prob
able congressional programme for the
present week. There will be all sorts of
side motions and discussions to fill up va
cant intervals. In the Senate, Hawaii is
a standing dish, and is likely to remaiu
so for some time to come. Senator
Ca iery, of Louisiana, is one of those
who has given notice of an intention to
speak on this subject and there is some
curiosity to hear his maiden effort at ora
tory in the Senate. Inasmuch, however,
as Mr. Caffery’s notice of motion ante
dated by several days the publication of
the testimony taken by Senator Morgan s
committee, it is not likely that Mr. Caf
fery’s speech will present any novel
points, unless he has very considerably
revised it since his first intention was an
nounced.
THE GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE.
The unfinished business before the
Seuate is the bill to remove the existing
death-trap, and to build anew govern
ment printing office. Disputes as to sites
have hampered the consideration of this
measure heretofore, and now, by the re
marks of Senator Dolph, of Oregon,
on Thursday, tariff questions and the
wholesubject of government expenditures
and receipts have been interjected into
the debate. It is quite possible that the
government printing office bill will be
made the medium for a continued tariff
discussion under the accommodating rules
of tho Senate which permit a man,
nominally addressing the Senate on one
subject, to confine his remarks exclu
sively to another on an entirely different
topic.
The extreme improbability, as matters
now look, that the tariff bill will bo in
condition to report to tho Senate tho com
ing week, renders it the more likely that
a tariff discussion will be aga n started
by indirection by republican senators be
fore the revised bill reaches the Senate
for execution.
IN THE HOUSE.
It is expected that the appropriation
bills will hold undisputed sway in the
House. The general debate on the pen
sion bill will probably close to-morrow,
and then it will be subject to the limita
tion of tho five minute rule until passed.
This stage of proceedings, Mr. O’Neill, of
Massachusetts, who is in charge of the
measure, hopes and believes will be
reached by Tuesday afternoon at
the furthest. Following this bill
the District of Columbia appropriation
bill will be called up and then the sundry
civil bill. Consideration of these two
measures will doubtless require all the
time at present allotted to the committee
on appropriations, but if they should not,
there are several other committees en
trusted with the preparation of appropria
tion bills ready to rej>ort. The naval bill,
the diplomatic and consular bill and the
postal bill are all ready. The morn
ing hour every day will see
some measure of more or less general
interest proposed for action, but- the
speaker has not been advised of an inten
tion to ask consideration of any particular
question. It would seem from this
•programme, as if the House would find a
difficulty in supplying its daily scene of
excitement and turmoil, but in the pres
ent temper of members so small a spark
seems sufficient to start an explosion that
an outbreak of some kind is looked for at
auy time, and on any topic.

COMMON - SENSE TRUTHS.
An Able Physician Explains the After-
Effects of Grip, the Condition in Which
It Leaves People, and the Only Thing
To Do.
“It is a very slow process:"
The speaker was a prominent physician.
Continuing, he said:
“I mean getting over the after effects of the
grin. Any one who has seen as much of it as 1
have can easily understand it. Ihe grip lasts
fora long time and seems to take a special
hold upon the system. It freqt ently r ms into
pneumonia, sometimes leaves the hearing

digestion It seems to take a long time to re
cover the strength, the energy. or the ambi
tion after one has had a run of the grip, and
we frequently tlnd neuralgia, rheumatism,
and even worse things following it.
' Now. what should any sensible man or
woman do under these clrcumstames? The
answer seems hard, but is really easy. Sim

’this is what every good physician in the land
advocates in order to drivo grip out of the

that the stimulant must be pure, and that
nothing for this purpose is equal to good
whiskey. It is unfortunate, however, that
there is so little pure medicinal whiskey to
he found, and. in fact, it cta be truly said
that there is but one strictly medicinal
whiskey upon the market, and that is Duffy s
Pure Malt. It is not like ordinary whiskey,
however much druggists and grocers may say
so. It has in fact, properties possessed by
no other, and is beyond question a stimulant
which can safely and effectually be taken to
prevent the grip or drive away’lts most dis
astrous after-effects."
KOSCIUSKO'S TRAGEDY.
Ratliffe Watches Jackson’s Funeral
Through the Bars of Els Cell.
Memphis, Tenn.. March 4.—The funeral
of Hon. S. A. Jackson, the democratic
legislator who was killed in a duel by W.
P. Ratliffe, occurred at Kosciusko, Miss.,
to-day. Two thousand people from the
surrounding towns and country attended
the services, which were heid at the
Kosciusko Methodist church.
The deceased was buried with Masonic
honors. The Knights of Pythias and
Knights of Honor, of which orders Mr.
Jackson was a prominent member, also
took part in the funeral services. Rat
liffe is in tho Kosciusko jail and
no evidence of violence was mani
fested to-day. The murderer stood
at his grated cell in the
prison and coolly watched the funeral
procession on its way io thecemeter.v. As
the circuit court meets at Kosciusko to
morrow, there is not likely to be a pre
liminary trial. The grand jury will take
up tho case, return an indictment for
murder in the first decree, and the trial
will open about the middle of the
week. As the excitement is
running very high over the
tragedy, it is believed Katliffe s attorneys
will ask for a change a venue. Tho
funeral of Samuel Russell, another of
Ratliffe’s victims, took place to-day at
tue home of the deceased. W. N. San
ders. who was wounded by a stray bullet
during the fight, is still alive.
WORLD'S FAIR FIRES.
A Man Arrested on a Charge of In
cendiarism.
Chicago, March 4.—One more of the
frequent attempts to destroy world's fair
buildings was made this afternoon, but
the attempt failed and resulted in the ar
rest of a man who gives his name as
Michael Murphy. The police believe
they have in custody one of the
gang of men which has succeeded in
doing so much damage to the exposition
buildings by the use of the torch. The
lire was discovered by a guard in station
house No. 7, which is unoccupied.
The building is close to the ter
minal station, and the early discovery
of the flames probably saved "that struc
ture. The fire company soon extinguished
the blaze, the damage being nominal. The
man under arrest was seen near
tho fire station shortly before the
flames were discovered, and the
Columbian guard in charge says
he believes he can produce evidence
which will show that Murphy sot the
place on fire. The man had been seen
prowling around the buildings during the
last two weeks, aDd when arrested was
not able to give a good account of him
self.
STREET CARS TIED UP.
A Big Fight On Between the Union
and tho Company.
Youngstown, 0., March 4.—The
Youngstown Street Electric line was tied
up to-day by a strike of every employe.
The cause of the trouble was the dis
charge of a union workman, Chief Engi
neer Jenkin3, who would not ac
cept a reduction of 26 cents per
day. Manager Anderson was brought
from Indianapolis, where he broke
up a union of 1,500 members, for the pur
pose of destroying the organization here.
If non-union men are-brought in to take
the places of the strikers, there is strong
probability of a riot. Hundreds of iuio
union workers throng the streets willing
to aid the striking street car men.

ANIMAL’S FIERCE ATTACK.
A Brave Young Woman’s Midnight
Enconnlcr.
Alone in the Woods She Was Sud
denly Attacked By a Strange Ani
mal, Whose Body Seemed Imper
vious to Bullets, and Which, While
Resembling a Wildcat, Does Not Be
long to Any Known Species of That
Family.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Bayou Plouver, P.a., Feb. 12.—Within
three miles of this place, last night, there
was a most desperate fight between a
young woman named Walters, and a
strange, murderous looking animal such
as was never seen or heard of before by
any of the inhabitants here. A corres
pondent called on Miss Walters this
morning to get the facts of her strange
adventure.
‘■Ever since grandpa died,” she said,
‘ ■grandma and I have lived here alone.
We fight our own battles and support
ourselves very well. If a bear comes nos
ing around oar pigs we go for him and
he is almost sure to bo our meat. When
a wildcat prowls around our chickens we
make hash of him, and next day let the
chickens prowl ’round him. We are well
prepared for everything that isn't wanted
for we have a rifle, two shotguns and a
revolver, and we make good use of them
all. Tam never sick a day, but grandma
is, and that is our only trouble. If she
takes a bad turn at any time 1 must go a
mile to our nearest neighbors before I
can get any assistance. Grandma was
sick last night and that was the cause of
m.v having such a set-to with that ani
mal.
“I had done all that I could for her, but
she still seemed so weak that i concluded
it was best for me to go for our neighbor.
I made the mile in good time, but only to
find that my neighbor was away from
home, having gone to spend the night
with some of her friends. I was greatly
disappointed, and hurried back home,
only to find grandma growing worse, and
not a soul within miles of us. It wasn't
wise to leave her,.nor safe to cross the
lake on such a dark, windy night; but
she needed a physician, and that was the
only way I could get one. While I was
wondering what was best for me to do
she dozed off. In a moment I was out of
the room, turned tho key noiselessly and
hurried to the boat. The lake was rough,
and tho skiff was tossed around so that it
took all my strength to make progress.
"After being brffeted by tho waves
for some time 1 found myself
safely over, right at the mouth of Boyoti
Plouver. My arras were so tired and
ci,v hands so cold that instead of rowing
on down tho bayou to tho old French
man's whom I Intended sending for the
doctor, I chained the boat to a tree and
got out. The Frenchman lived more than
a half mile further on, and my only way
of getting there, except by water, was
through a dense part of the woods. It
was terribly, and must have been by
that time almost dark midnight. It took
me several seconds to summons sufficient
courage to risk the walk, but 1 finally did
and reached there safely. After seeing
the old man start for the doctor, whom
he promised to bring over himself. 1
started for home, thinking that the best
possible thing to do.
“While crossing the lake I had gotten
very wet from the spray and waves that
dashed over the boat, and coming back in
the wind, which was stronger and seemed
colder, 1 found myself shaking with cold.
My hands were so numb that there was
no feeling in them. Knowing that 1
could not row over the lake in this condi
tion, I gathered up a handful of leaves,
took a match from my hunting belt and lit
them. Then I piled up over them broken
twigs and bits of bark lying around, and
soon had a bright fire, the warmth of
which was very soothing to me. The sit
uation made me a little nervous. I lis
tened. but there was not a sound except
snapping of the burning twig, in a few
minutes most of the numbless was out of
my hands and my dress was almost dry.
I smo'.hered the fire and took several
rapid steps toward the boat, but before I
had gone half way I was alarmed by some
thing sjiringing on m.v shoulders, sticking
its claws in me and weighing me down.
• I drew my revolver quickly from my
belt and fired three times in rapid succes
sion, hut it had little effect, as the thing
remained clinging to the double wool
shawl wound about my head and shoul
ders. I fired again, and as the shawl
came untied so did the animal looso its
hold, and both fell to the ground. The
fright gave mo a terrible ague, which
completely unfitted mo for good shooting.
The animal's claws were tangled in tho
shawl, but in a second he jerked thfm
free, and came growling and hissing at
me in full force.
‘ And I had only one cartridge left.
"It came at my throat as though deter
mined to tear it into threads. I warded
off the attack the best I could, thrust tho
pistol ~ ainst his heart—as I thought—
and iirod. The animal fell back and I
took ono breath of joy, believing myself
out of danger, when it, arose on its hind
feet and threw itself at mo again. I
fought with both feet, my hands and the
pistol, hammering it over his head, kick
ing it and striking it anywhere. This
continued until I thought o . ery second
would bo my last. With my feci and one
hand busy 1 managed to pick up the shawl
and tnrow it over its head. It was blind
folded and two or three so onds were
mine. To reach the boat was out of the
question, so I made a desperate leap to
wards a tree mid climbed up. just as the
animal got rid of the shawl. Me looked
around and not soeing me growled and
began to sniff the air. What aa ojinor lu
ll it.V that was for rno to kill him. But
the revolver was on the ground where I’d
dropped it when climbing, so the cart
ridges in my belt were of no value.
• While up in this tree, shaking like the
leaves on it, watching tho animal and de
ploring my fate, a little blaze shot up
from tho lire by which I saw a stout
stick, and ! determined to use it well if
the animal attacked tjie again, which ho
did in much less time than it takes me to
tell it.”
He traced my stops to tho tree and
without the least effort came up, leaping
from limb to limb as easily as though
walking aiong the ground. Without
measuring tae distance to the ground, I
let myself drop and landed without fall
ing. As quickly us 1 could I reached for
the'stiek, when the animal in it disap

him a blow on his head which, fortunately
for me, stuuned him.
"That was my chance for my life, and I
took advantage of it by breaking the stick
into fragments over his head. By this
time it was apparently lifeless, but to
make stye I loaded my jiistol and sent five
cartridges into its body. Being sure that
it was now dead I dragged it to the boat,
but its weight prevented my getting it in
the skiff, although T tugged and tried
again and again. When about half over
the lake I met the old Frenchman and tile

A MU3IC PRINTER’S SHOP.
A Curious Trade That Calls for Skill
and Judgment.
From the Boston Herald,
When a reporter was sent recently to
inquire into the mysteries practiced by
the music printer, he first made inquiry
at a music dealer's, and soon afterwards
was stumbling up five flights of stairs in
an old business block on a busy down
town street. There, occupying a loft, he
found a shop crowded with forms and
cases of type. There were only two or
three men at work, doing what they had
to do quietly and easily.
The proprietor was" sitting at his desk
in a retired corner, reading over the doc
uments of his business. After explaining
his errand, the reporter asked: "What
is the sj)ecial difficulty in setting a jiage
of music? Is it anything a regular com
positor could not do, at least after a little
practice!”
“To be even a fair musical printer,”
was the answer, “you must be a genius,
in the first place. You need not know
music, to be sure—perhajis it is better
that you should not, for then you may
think you know more than the composer,
especially as no two men ever read har
mony alike, and try to improve his score
for him, but the business requires in
stant and accurate judgment, jierfect fa
miliarity with every box in the case, be
sides a great deal of skill and quickness
in actually setting your type. You must
know everything a regular printer knows
and ten times more besides.”
In tho case which holds the necessary
“sorts” there are no less than 400 varie
ties of type, by far the greater part of
which must bo used in setting a large
pie e of music—one of the songs, for in
stance, sometimes printed on a page of
tho Sunday papers.
When ths reporter was shown these
various characters, and how intricately
they must all bo made to combine so as to
print without a break or a crack any
where to bo seen, he did not wonder to
hear the proprietor continue: “You can
not conceive tiow much labor is involved
in setting a single sheet. Why, it would
require an oxpert and half a do en news
pajier columns to describe it in ail its
minute details.'’
But if the reader will call to mind a lo
comotive puzzle ho will get a general idea
of the operation. The reporter saw a
measure set up for his special benefit.
There must have been fifty pieces put in
before it was perfect.
The printer takes his.stlck in hand, like
all printers, and adjusts it by means of
the screw to tho required 1< ngth. Some
times it is more, sometimes less: so that
to measure by the "stick,” as is done in a
newspaper, would be meaningless.
Then lie looks at his “copy” and secs
the model for the puzzle which he has to
solve by means ox the 400 characters in
the box in front of him.
He is an experienced and skillful work
man. let us suppose, and will not take long
in getting a practical answer.
Every symbol whi h tho author has
used is ready at his hand, the more com
mon ones in the middle of his case, those
less frequently utilized stowed away in
the farther corners.
But it is not so simple as all that. The
author may have used one sort of symbol,
or he may have used any one of the
tweniy others. Each one that he has
used makes necessary some pc -uliar ar
rangement of the next lino and of the
sue reeding symbol, so that the whole may
come out even at the staff.
There 13 the difficulty—to come out
even. To do this a note may be divided
in;o little pieces, to which other little
pieces are to bo joined, that everything
may be svuared off in the end. Lines to
fill in with must be of the proper length.
Steins aud.heads of notes must be exactly
combined, uud, in a word, everything
must be fitted with' the most perfect
nicety, so that when the printed measure
struck off from the electrotype plate,
which is finally made from the typo, ap
pears, there must be no crack or break
to bo seen, tut the whole must look as
perfect almost as if it were a process re
production from a carefully written score.
No wonder the machine has not been in
vented which can accomplish this diffi
cult task.
Y' t, after all, to do this is not the
greatest achievement of a music printer.
To lie able to judge swiftly and sure y,
when he is given a page of copy and told
to accomodate it to an entirely different
scale, is a much rarer and more essential
faculty. The spacing must be accurate
and approximately equal all tho way
through.
On the first piece of spacing the spacing
all the way through necessarily depends
For this the printer makes no elaborate
calculations of measurements: he comes
to a reckoning by guess work so prac
ticed and trained that the result is as ex
act as if it had been carefully figured out
on paper.
Then, too, he has to overcome the bother
of the words underneath, which must not
be 100 irregularly strung out. and every
syllable of which must be placed under
its own note or notes. The rest of tho
letter press-work which may be required
in a jiiece of music, those stanzas of a
hymn or song printed by themselves, with
no immediate reference to the musical
notes, as well as the titles, page headings
and "stage directions," arc sot by a regu
lar printer, who receives tho music por
tion all completed, and fills it in to suit.
This work, if there is much of it, is
sent out. but. every offiro which does
musical printing keeps two or three men
to do such small jobs as are wanted on
almost every score.
There are four sorts of music type, or
dinarily used—agate, used for most sheet
music; diamond and excelsior, for Sun
day school books and the like: and non
pariel, for the larger kinds of book and
sheet work. Then there are tho big
blocks for school charts—unlike the
others, not electro typed, but jirmt di
rectly on tho paper. On these, by-the
way. the joining of the "sorts.” which
has been spoken of above as being almost
undistinguishablo in the finer kinds of
work, may easily be discovered. In the
case of the blocks the fitting is net only
not so delicate, but the ink docs not help
obliterate the traces of Joining to any ex
tent.
No wonder that there are not more than
twenty men at most In Boston who aro
experts in this beaullful and delicate
cratt- although Boston, as tho reader
may like to know, does more music print
ing than auy other city In the United
States, probably more than any two
others. In all there are four shops here.
“How long does 1“ take to master the
trade!’’ astied the reporters.
“About throe years on an average, I
should say; although that boy there,”
pointing to a sturdy young Italian not
more than nineteen years old, ‘‘is as good
a printer ns there is with only about
eighteen months’ experience—hotter, in
deed, than many a man i have seen who
had worked half a dozen years at the
business.”
Not more than five or six mon are re
quired in a good-si ed shop. A fairly
good printer will set three jiages of sim
ple music in a day. Given a difficult in
strumental score, however, and ho will
not get through with more than one anfi
one-half pages. He is paid, not by a cer
tain number of "ems,” but by the sheet.
The "boss” makes his price to iris cm
ployer for setting a certain amount of
copy, which varies greatly according as
it is simply or elaborately written, and in
the same way he pays his men a propor
tionate sum per page. This price is al
ways. at least approximately, fair, and
when business is not dull the printer, if
he be a good oue. makes from MU to $26 a
week.
D "Do you ever employ women?” was tho
last question the reporter asked.
“Not many—they aro not a success
usually, trough one woman who worked
for nie twelve years, and is now running
a place of her own in ('hieago, was us
good a music printer as I over had.”
FROM FARM TO BARROOM.
The Journey and Gh-adual Increase in
Price of a Bufihel of Corn.
From the Peoria (III) Herald.
Illinois is the great corn state and
Peoria is the center of its most prolific
belt. Peoria is a great grain market and
especially for corn. Vast quantities of
the golden grain are shipped into that
city for general distribution and loaded
into its mammouth elevators by the hun
dreds of thousands of bushels. A great
deal of corn is shipped from Peoria, l ut a
\ast quantity is used there. There
is more corn used in Peoria t han in any
three cities in the union, even though
those cities beNew York, Piladelphiaand
Chicago. The reason is obvious. Peoria is
not only the center of the great distilling
interests, but there ure located two of tho
greatest sugar houses in the country.
Down the capacious maws of the great
distilleries are poured every day 20,000
bushels of corn. Tho sugar-housos use
from 5,000 to 10,000 bushols more each
day in the day. To supply the constant
demand the product ol 1.000 acres of rich
corn lands is daily snipped into Peoria for
home consumption. Aside from these
there are fully 5.000 bushels used daily
for other purposes. So that it is safe to
estimate that fully 9,000,000 bushels of
corn are used in that city annually for
manufacturing and other purposes. The
greater part of this is manufactured into
spirits.
It is wonderful to consider tho changes
made by a bushel of i oru in its transition
from the owner's crib to the glass of the
consumer. Theso c hanges are various
and far-reaching. They are other than
financial. But consider simply the mere
element of value. Corn was sold the other
day in Peoria for 35 cents per bushel. It
came all the way from Nebraska, perhaps,
weere it brought but 95 cents, in transit
two dealers received a commission of 1
cent each. The railroad company re
ceived 8 cents for its freight and other
charges. Tho distiller paid 35 cents. lie
took and concerted it into gallons of
linis'ned spirits, and fed one of his steers
on the refuse. The distiller sold the spir
its to a local dealer for $5.19, of which
Uncle Sam received $4.05 as a tax on the
spirits, leaving a balance to tho distiller
of 79 cents after he had paid 35 cents
for his corn. The spirits, after being
well watered and compounded, aro sold at
a pro tit by the compounder and rectiller
to the dealer, who sells out at 15 cents a
drink. Tho four and one-half gallons
have swelled to nine, and before it gets
through it swells many a head and also
the revenue of the city where its lines
may be cast. So that, in its travels from
the Nebraska crib to tho Chicago saloon,
that bushel of corn has increased in value
from 25 cents to many dollars, and, will
its constant running mates, has furnished
employment at least to fifty men or more
and has contributed to both the national
and municipal revenues. Such magic
there is in the juic. of thegoiden corn. Of
the juice of that one bushel of corn, at
least 100 persons have imbibed, from the
pious old lady who took it for ‘‘la grippe”
to the jolly old toper who took it for ‘ tho
tight.”
To resume, that bushel of corn was
thus scattered on the highways of busi
ness and pleasure: Parmer, 25w*ents;
railroads, 88 cents; commission mon, 2
cents; distil'ers, 72 cents; feeder, 10 cents
Uncle Sam. $4.05; compounder and recti
fier, 25 cents; retail dealer $10; city $3.
The consumer got whatever was left in
the spirits, each according to his strength
or weakness.
