small and armorical mark for the enemy’s
guns.
Congress, by act of March 2, 1889, author
ised the construction of a twin-screw, ar
mor-plated, harbor defense ram, upon the
design of Hear Admiral Ammen, United
States navy, the design to bo based upon
his experience with rams In the war of the
rebellion.
The Bath Iron works In January, 1891,
took the contract to build and equip the
vessel and machinery and placo the armor,
for 1930,000. On Mnrcli 27, 1891, the de
partment approved the proposition of tbo
contractors to lengthen the vessel eight feet,
tho corresponding Increase in the
displacement, 133 tons, being uti
lised In increasing tho cool supply
and providing a battory of four slx-jroundor
rapid lire guns for defense against torpedo
boat attack. The original iloslgn had no
battery whatever.
The dimensions of the vessel are as fol
lows: Ungth over all, 261 feet; length on
dor the ton contract. The quarters for
olflccrs and crew are nil within the armored
hull and there will bo fittod complete
systems of electric lighting, artificial venti-
lation and drainage.

question of silver legislation at
this session of congress has been finally
settled. There will be uono. Tho fight
in tho houso Thursday morning was brief,
but highly interesting. General Catch-
jngs, of Mississippi, opened it by report
ing tho order from the committee on
rules, sotting aside tho day nnd Friday
for tho consideration of silver. Mr. Ba
con, of New York, chairman of the com
mittee on banking aud currency, which
reporlcd the bill, followed with a brief
speech in advocacy of tho adoption of
tho order nnd of tbo bill. Mr.
Bland, of Missouri, tho leading advo-
oato of freo coinage, delivered an
impassionato speech against the resolu
tion and against the proposed legisla
tion. Mr. Bryan, of Nebraska, the able
young orator who won Lime by bis tariff
speech last session, declared eloquently
that tho democratic party dare not go to
the people of tbo couniry, having adopt
ed cloture for this bill when it had ic-
fused it for every measure in the interest
of tho people. Thero was not a line in
tho bill which was not opposed to the
policy of the democratic pnrly. bcvcral
briof speeches were made in favor of the
moasuro and several to re against it, when
General Hatchings yielded ten minutes to
Tom Reed. Mr. Itoeil favored the re
peal of the Hherman law. Ho said it had
only been enacted aan compromise meas
ure to slay for the time being a strong
demand for freo coinngo. It seemed to
he un ohstaclo to bimetallism all over tbo
world and should ho repealed.
TIIK VOTB TAKEN.
After Mr. Reed’s speech, tho vote was
taken on ordering tho previous question
on tho adoption of the ordor. An
“aye" vote practically meant a vote
against the hill, while a “nay” vote was
for tile hill. Thero was intense excite
ment during the call of the roll. Al
most every member on the tl jor kept a
tally sheet of his own. It ran along al
most even until the last score of names
were reached. Tho vote stood 163 for
the previous question to 142 against it.
An unaljsis of the vote showed that tho
motion was supported by 107 democrats,

It is well understood, or it should be,
that discretion in buying and skill in

who should then hand the material over

would not be economically dressed. Yet
thousands of women give orders after
precisely this fashion to their butchers

A Laundry Hint*
Always spread a largo clean cloth in
your clothes basket before putting in the
clothes. Pass a clean, damp cloth along
the clothes line to free it from dust. A
galviinized wire clothes line is best, as it
need not be taken down, besides freeing
one’s mind of tho fear of breakage or
slipping of knots with the direful atlcn-
dftnta of such contingencies. A clothes
pin apron, which is in ide by facing a
* ar K?» piece of cloth on the outside for a
pocket, is much more convenient than a
basket, us it allows tho free use of the
hands.

“Each Spoonful has

deteriorate and lose their strength, owing to the
use of inferior ingredients, but Royal Baking

An Odd Find.

ltnthcr a queer find was unearthed a
few days ago from a small aperture in
tho jam of a Arts place iu an old brick
building now used ns a boarding house,
In Coshocton, Ohio.
A woman, while sweeping about the
hearth, discovered a clip of paper tucked
away under tho narrow opening nt the
foot of the uiantol, which proved to be a
slip torn from a Steubenville ottper, bear- I
ing the dato of Aptii 21, 1855. In tho !
slip wero three finely engraved cupper j
dies for counterfeiting gold dollars. Two !
of the dies wero dated 1820 and the other I
1825. Tho dies are an inch and a half in j
diameter and about one-fourth of an inch I
thick. Tho engraving iu them is ex j
cecdingiy fine, indicating the hand of n ;
skilled ongraver. According to the date
as shown on the paper, tho outfit has been
concealed about thirty eight years. Tho
building where thoy wero found about
that time was used as a general store.

A Testimonial Worth Reading.
Mt, Sterling, Ky., Feb. 13, 18S9.
I desire to make a brief statement for
the benefit of the suftering. I had been
afflicted with catarrh of the head, throat
and nose, and perhaps the bladder for
fully twenty-five years. Having tried
other remedies without success, I was
led by an advertisement in the Sentinel-
Democrat to try Hall’s Catarrh Cure. I
have just finished my fourth bottle, and
I believe I am right when I say I am
thoroughly restored, I don’t believe
there is a trace of the disease left.
Respectfully.
