Monday morning the senate judiciary
committee considered the nomination of
Louis McComas, of Maryland, to be as¬

some of the democratic members of the
committee oppose his confirmation.
There is much talk in Washington
about who will succeed Senator GibsoD,
of Louisiana. Governor Foster will
probably name the successor soon after
the holidays, and it is believed that Mr.
Dan Caffrey will receive the plum. Mr.
Caffrey is a relative of Governor Foster,
and an intimate friend. In the last sen-
ator*hip fight Governor Foster supported
him. The legislature does not meet un¬
til 1894, and, therefore, a permanent suc¬
cessor will not be elected until that time

Bloody Battle Between Revolutionists
and Government Troops.
a news special of Wednesday from
Guerre, Mexico, savs: The government
telegraph line, which passes thromrh this
place, has been repaired and for the first
time a complete official report of the
bloody battle near San Ygnance was sent
to invasion military headquarters Tuesday. The
of the revolutionists has pro-
duced intense excitement throughout the
Rio Grande border country, both on the
United States and Mexican side of the
river. The battle took place about fif¬
teen miles from Guerre, and an order for
reinforcements was brought in by couri¬
ers while the fight was still in progress.
Major Julian E. Squebel, commander
of the garrison, left immediately with a
force of 150 soldiers, but when they
reached the place they found that the
revolutionists had crossed the river into
the United States, taking with them
about twenty prisoners, forty horses and
a large amount of ammunition and guns.
BATTLING AGAINST ODDS.
The Mexican soldiers fought nobly.
They were only forty-five in number, but
held their ground and continued to fight
as long ns,, there was any possible
chance of defeating the invaders. Cap¬

During the past twenty years 328,000
divorces have been granted by the courts
of the United State- 1 , 90 per cent, of
them to women. While this totah is
large enough to appear to give good
grounds for the assertion that the per¬
petuity of the family is threatened, it
dwindles when brought into compatison
with the number of marriages during the
same tal peiiod. One-twentieth of the to¬
is 16,400, the number granted each
year, only about 1 per cent, of the num¬
ber of marriages. There is nothing in
the world that hum n beings undertake
to do that show so small a percentage of
total failure as marriage. Though sta¬
tistics are not at hand to prove it, there
is doubt if divorces much exceed golden
■weddings in number. They certainly do
not exceed silver weddings. Investiga¬
tion on the subject of improper marri¬
ages would seem to offer more hope of
results beneficial to society than exami¬
nation of div-.irce statistics.
It takes both time and money to get a
divorce, while marriage is easy and
cheap. Even a tramp walking across the
country for a prize found no difficulty
the other day in fulfilling that part of his
agreement requiring him to marry some
one on the way. Children, utterly una¬
ble to earn a living or take care of the
family nature is sure to inflict upon
them, find no difficulty when they run
away from their parents in persuading
some preacher or magistrate totally un¬
acquainted with them for life or the di¬
vorce court. There are- not nearly so
many divorces as improper marriages,
and there are few citi<£3 in which the
preachers have not than performed the more im¬
proper marriages number of di¬
vorces share granted by theJ-hourts. ^ A fair
of divorces are granted
in the interests of. Jpdecency, jus¬
tice and morality, and for
the welfare of society. This cannot be
said of many marriages performed as an
alleged unites secret ceremony;" No preacher
who children in marriage, or per
forms the ceremony for any couple not
known' to him or vouched for by some
responsible person whom he knows,
should ever open his mouth in criticism
of the divorce courts. That many di¬
vorces secured are there improperly and fre.dulently
is no doubt, but the end
of the marriage relation where the most
mischief is done is the front end, aud a
large share of this mischief is done by
hzy and greedy preachers who ought to
t stead e sawing wood for fifty cents a cord in¬
of marrying babies for a few dol¬
lars a couple.—Portland Oregonian.
Tobacco, Cholera, and their Contagions.
The eminent Dr. John Lizars says:
“During the prevalence of cholera, I have
had repeated opportunities of observing
that individuals addicted to the use of
tobacco are more disposed to attacks of
that disease, and generally in its most
malignant and fatal form.”
Dr. Willard Parker, long at the head
of the medical profession in New York
City, said: “All who smoko or chew,
are more apt to die in epidemics than
other people.”
Dr. O. M. Stone, of Boston, said:
“The idea that tobacco prevents disease
is an error. A tobacco* user’s chences
of recovery frem any malignant disease
are lessened fifty per cent.”
Capt. G. B. Petting’ll, who for many
years commanded vessels trading between
Boston and Cuba, Mexico and South
America, said: “Very few tobacco us¬
ers recover from yellow fever. I once
lost half my crew with it in Havana.
Every man who died used tobacco, and
every one who lived did n®t use it.”
Dr. Harris, of the New York city dis¬
pensary, where more diseases arc treated
than in any other place in America, says:
“It is scarcely possible to cur-3 a syphilitic
sore, or unite a fractured bone in a de¬
voted smoker.”

smoker can be a well man ?”—Union

The Official Government „ Reports:
The United States Government, after elaborate
tests, reports the Royal Baking Powder to be of
greater leavening strength than any other. (Bul¬
letin 13, Ag. Dep ., p. 5994)
The Canadian Official Tests, recently made, show
the Royal Baking Powder highest of all in leaven¬
ing strength. (Bulletin 10,/. 16, Inland Rev. Dep.)
In practical use, therefore, the Royal Baking
Powder goes further, makes purer and more perfect
food, than any other.
Government Chemists Certify:
“The Royal Baking Powder is composed of pure and
wholesome ingredients. It does not contain either alum or phos¬
phates, or other injurious substances.
“ Edward G. Love, Ph. D.”
“The Royal Baking Powder is undoubtedly the purest
and most reliable baking powder offered to the public.
“ Henry A. Mott, M. D., Ph.D.”‘
“The Royal Baking Powder is purest in quality and high¬
est in strength of any baking powder of which I have knowledge.
“ Wm. McMurtrie, Ph. D.”
The Government Report shows all other baking
powders tested to contain alum , lime
or sulphuric acid.
Jelly Fishes.
Jellv fishes have been inade a subject
of tories, study and at the seaside biological labora¬
things iM *have ever so many about interesting
been learned them.
They complicated have a nervous system and a
structure than most people
suppose, Many of them are phosphores-
cent. The most remprYable of them all
somewhat “Portuguese^ttiM'wanf? like fooTflll ft It looks
a as floats on
the surface of the water, with a fringed
top and colored blue and purple. It is
filled with air, and from the body of it
many tentacles hang down. Some of
these tentacles are as much as twenty
feet long. On coming into contact with
an animal, these long dangling arms twine
about it and paralyze it by shooting into
it hundreds of small darts. The darts
are situated all along the tentacles, to
■which they are attached by threads coiled
spirally when the creature is quiescent.
But in response to any irritation they are
-projected into.the flesh like so of many the poisonoys victim, vifhich needles is
drawn within reach of the shorter Mmacles
and absorbed. v
It is believed that these darts
an acid poison. The quantity containeii
by each weapon is infinitesimal, but the
wounds produced by hundreds of them
acting at once are not to be despised.
Bathers in waters where this jelly fish is
found dread it very much. On coming
into contact with a human being it winds
its tentacles around him, and it is only
with much difficulty and pain that they
can be removed, owing to the fact that
the darts are barbed. Many other sjyifcies
of jelly fishes are armed with rimilar
darts, as bathers who have me; with
them know very well. They are some¬
times called “sea nettles.” There is a
curious little fish that lives always inside
of the umbrella of jelly fishes, presuma¬
bly for the sake of the pi election thus
gained. Being obliged to leave its pro¬
tector to procure f ood it is sometimes
very back amusing to observe its efforts to get
inside of the umbrella after it has
been out on a foraging expedition. It is
very much afraid of being wounded by
the darts, and is apt to find much trouble
in obtaining an entrance without touch¬
ing the business parts of the animal.
There are some small jelly fishes which
live under the umbrellas of the big
ones.
Many a young lady is perfect in press
ing autumn leaves who leaves all the
pressing of her clothes for her aged
mother to perform.

German
Syrup”
My niece, Emeline Hawley, was,
taken with spitting blood, and she
became very much alarmed, fearing
that dreaded disease, Consumption.
She tried nearly all kinds of medi¬
cine but nothing did her any good.
Finally she took German Syrup and
she told me it did her more good
than anything she ever tried. It
stopped the blood, gave her strength
and ease, and a good appetite. I
had it from her own lips. Mrs.
