bill. The paragraphs relating to tiles,
rasps, iron or steel plates, wares or arti

ns reported. The discussion was inter
rupted to enable Mr. Platt to present and
have referred to the committee on appro
priation from the interior department,

sion of the tariff was resumed, and sen

sent for the consideration of the senate

Objected to. Mr. McKinley, from the
committee on rules, reported and the

and the house adjourned.
The senate met at noon Saturday, under
an arrangement that the day’s session was
to be devoted to eulogies of the late Sen
ator Beck, of Kentucky. Immediately
after the reading of the journal, Mr.
Blackburn offered resolutions, which were
agreed to, expressing the profound sor
row of the senate at the denth of Mr. Beck,
and desiring a suspension of business
to enable his associates to pay a proper
tribute to h s high character and distin
guished public service. Mr. Blackburn,
of Kentucky, made ilie opening address,
and gave a beautiful sketch of Mr.
Beck’s life, from his birth to his death.
Tributes of affection, esteem and rearet
were also paid by Messrs. Ingalls, Vest,
Allison, Evarts, Vance, Hale, Morgan,
Plumb, Hampton, Gibson, Coke,McPher

In his prayers in the house, Monday
morning, the chaplain made a feeling al

adopted the customary resolutions of re
gret, and for the appointment of a com
mittee to superintend the funera 1 , and
then adjourned.
The tariff bill was taken up in the Sen
ate on Monday. Mr. Aldrich rfeerred to
the unusual length of the discussion that
has taken place on the tariff bill, and said
that that tact and the knowle ige shared
hv all that the business of the country
was in a state of anxious suspense await
ing results, necessitated a speedy solution
of the question. The senate deliberations
led him to ask the senators on the other
side to consider the the question of fixing
a date of closing the debate and of
having a final vote on the passage of
of the bill. Monday, September Bth
and thereafter was made the time for
consideration of the bill and amendments
without debate—three hours to be allowed
to each side for general debate, and then
a final vote to be taken on the passage of
the bill. The tariff bill was laid aside.
The house bill for the erection of a tower
of the first order for a Fght on Smith
island. Va., was taken from the cal
endar and passed. Th ■ tariff bill was
again taken up, the pending question be
ing on paragraph K‘3, page 45. imposing
a duty of one and a half cents jier pound
on lead ore aD<l lead dross.
Mr. Coke moved to amend by inserting
a proviso that ores containing silver and
lead, in which lead is of less value than
silver, shall be admitted free of duty.
He spoke in advocacy of his amendment
and was followed and supported by
Messrs. Carlisle and Reagan. The biil
then went over: Messrs. Cameron, Cul
lom and Faulkner were api>ointed a com
mittee on part of the senate to attend the
funeral of Representative Watson, aud
the senate adjourned.
NOTES.
The senate, ou Friday, confirmed the
nomination of Michael H. Haas as post
master at Fortress Monroe, Va.
Representative Htmsbarough, of North
Dakota, has introduce 1 in the house a
joint resolution proposing an amendment
to the constitution, providing that neither
the United States nor any state shall pass
any law authorizing the establishment or
maintenance of a lottery or the distribu
tion of prizes by chance.
The order of business for the remainder
of the session, arrange® by the republi
can committee of the senate, provides
that consideration of the tariff bill shall
be completed without interruption except
by appropriation bills and conference re
ports. 1 here are two conference reports
expected to be presented during the

visions of the sundry civil bill and ‘the
nther on the land grant forfeiture bill.
The house committee ou railways and
canals has agreed to report favorably
on the bill for the protection of railroad
property and ot railroad emnloves
engaged in handling it. The
bill provides for safety couplers
on freight cars and power brakes on lo
comotives, but gives railway companies
sufficient time to prepare for the change.
After January I, 1893, it shall be unlaw
ful for railroad companies to run a train
that cannot be controlled by an engineer.
terrible disaster.
A CYCLONE SWOOPS DOWN ON WILKES
BARRE, I*A.—APPALLING RESULTS,
The following are extracts from an ac
count of a cyclone at Wilkesbarre, Pa.,
Tuesday evening: The streets ate all cov
ered with fallen debris from demolished
houses, and the bodies of forty or fifty
horses are lying on the streets. The
town is in almost complete darkness.
Gangs are working on the largest ruins
and expect to exhume several people, w ho
are reported as missing. The hospital is
crowded with injured people, and drug
stores and undertakers’ establishments are
being brought into requisition to accommo
date the injured. About a quarter after five
cloud about twenty feet in diameter was
seen approaching from the west. This
stiuck th'i outlying districts and sped
through the town with a mighty roar.
The houses and trees in its path were
leveled as by a giant’s hand. The air was
so thick for a time with (lust, bricks,
timbers and roof tiles that it was impossi
ble to see. People standing in the streets
Were dashed to the pavement or whirled
against buildings. For a distance of
three blocks on South Main street al
most every house sustained some damage.
Numbers were leveled completely, and
other* badly wrecked. The cyclone
spent its force on a settlement known a*
“Five Points,” in the eastern part of the
city, where the greatest loss of life is re
ported. Lnrgc districts in several
fioYtions are in absolute ruin,
n answer to the proclamation made by
the mayor the Ninth regiment is on duty
assisting the police in maintaining order.
The number of killed or fatally injured
will go over twenty. At least thirty
people were more or less severely injured.
A careful estimate places the number of
buildings demolished and partially de
stroyed at nearly four hundred. The loss
will reach nearly, if not quite, $1,000,00-'*,
although in the present chaos no pos
sible means of making a clos estimate
exists. ______
THE STABLES DEMOLISHED.
FOUR PERSONS AND TWENTY OR MORE
HORSES KILLED OUTRIGHT.
A Philadelphia dispatch says: During
a Jjeavy storm which prevailed in this
vicinity, about 7 o’clock Thursday morn
ing, the southern wall of the stable and
carsheds, occupying a square, bounded
by Twelfth and Thirteenth streets and
Susquehana avenue and Dauphin street,
was blown down. Four persons wen
killed outright; three are so badly injured
that are not expected to recover;
three others were less seriously injured
and one is missing and is probably dead.
Twenty or more horses were killed. All
the killed and injured were drivers, con
ductors or stablemen in the employ of tho
street railways.
A HORRIBLE STORY.
A MANIAC KILLS HIS WIFE AND FIVE CHIL
DREN AND EATS THEIR FLESH.
News reached Livingston, Montana,
Saturday afternoon that a rancher named
Quinn, living twelve miles west of that
place, had killed his wife and five chil
dren with a broadax. The man was crazy,
and when discovered was sitting in s
corner of the room eating from the arm
of one of the children. The bodies of
all were horribly mutilated, the arms and
legs being severed from the bodies. The
oldest girl, about fifteen years of age,
was cut almost in two. Several men
went to the house and tried to capture
Quinn, but he would aliow no one to ap
proach, and was killed by one of the
men iu self-defense.
TEXAS ALLIANCEMEN

HURLED TO DEATH *
A GRAVITY CAR RUNS AW AY AND DASHES
DOWN AN EMBANKMENT.
A dispatch from Reading, Pa., says:
A runaway car on Mount Penn Gravity
railroad, which ascends a mountain near
here, dashed down a five-mile declivity
at 11 o’clock Friday morning, at a fright
ful speed. When tie car reached the sta

ST. PETERSBURG.
STUDIES OF RUSSIAN LIFE FROM
A CAFE WINDOW.
TheDrosky Drivers and Their Strik
ing- Head-Gear—Overcoats Neces
sary All the Year—Prevalence
ol the Toothache,
1 sat for an hour in tho window of a
cafe on the famous Novski Prospekt, St.
Petersburg,writes Thomas Stevens ill the
New York World, It was 4 o'clock in
the afternoon, and a fine, sunny day. All
the Russian world aud his wife seemed
to be driving, walking, hurrying, idling
past the window on this Broadway of
the Ilussiap capital.
The most numerous passers-by, and to
the new comer the most Russian and in
teresting, are the drosky-drivers, the is
roshchics and their “fares.” Like
Washington, St. Petersburg is a city of
magnificierit distances. Everybody rides;
fare* are cheap; and there arc 25,000
public drosky-drivers in the city plying
tot hire.
The isvoshchic and his costume are
peculiarly Russian. The latter has not
changed for ages, and apart from youth
and age, whiskers and no whiskers, there
is not the splitting of a hair between any
of the five-and-twentv thousand public
“Kebbies” in the Czar’s capital.
The Summer costume of the isvosh
chic is an ideal garb for Winter from
the point of view of anybody but a Rus
sian. lie is enveloped in an enormous
overcoat of heavy dark-blue cloth that
descends to his heels and is gathered
about his waist by a gay-colored band.
Top boots, heavy and prodigal of leather,
incase his feet and legs; and even on
warm days disarrangement of the big
blue overgarment reveals a sheepskin
coat of similar dimensions underneath.
But the crowning glory of tho drosky*
driver is his hat. Imagine a Stove-pipe
hat six inches tall with a very rakish
brim and a very expansive crown, and
you see any one of the 30,000 coachmen’s
hats of St. Petersburg. I say 30,000 be
cause there are beside the public isvosh
chics about five thousand private coach*
ies similarly dressed.
The only difference between the pub
lic and private isvoshchics is that tho lat
ter look about three times larger than the
former. All tho private isvoshchics are
men of Falstaflfian girth. The thinness
of the face often contrasts ludicrously
with the vast proportions ol the body,
for the amplitude of the latter i3 not
flesh, but padding.
Every drive you take in St Petersburg
has to be bargained for in advance. The
rates are cheaper than iu any other Eu
ropean capital, being only fifty copecks,
or about thirty Cents an hour. The St.
Petersburg isvoshchic is known as the
most reasonable of the fraternity in Rus
sia. While the Moscow driver always
asks four or five times what he really in
tends to take, the St. Petersburg driver
rarely demands more than three times
his proper fare, and as a general thing
not even twice as much as he is willing
to accept.
The isvoshchic is superstitious and fear
ful. Every little way as he drives you
along he passes an icon or shrine, at
each of which he removes his abbreviated
cylinder and crosses himself at the fore
head, mouth and breast. His fear is
centred on General Grcssner, Chief of
Police of St. Petersburg. The isvosh*
chic is rarely obstreperous, but if he is,
“I'll tell Grcssner” brings matters to a
speedy conclusion by immediately re
ducing him to au humble and apprehen
sive frame of mind.
His horse is small and his vehicle little
larger than the old-fashioned invalid
chair one sometimes meets with gouty
old gentlemen in them in the parks at
home.
A peculiarity of the “fares,” if a lady
aud gentleman, is that the latter always
has his arm about his companion’s
waist. Tho Russian explanation is that
without this precaution tho lady might
tumble out. So prevalent is this caution
that an exception excites attention. One
day the World correspondent was driving
along the Nevski with a lady, and the
American sense of propriety, coupled
with Gotlaim-bred modesty, which nukes
the placing of a gentleman's arm about a
lady's waist in broad daylight in a public
thoroughfare an outrageous thing, posi
tively attracted comment.
About five per cent, of the ladies, old
or young, who passed by the cafe win
dow, were victims of the toothache and
had a swollen aud bandaged jaw. Tooth
ache is the commonest malady of the
Bt. Petersburg fair sex. The St. Peters
burg girl of the period stays up late,
lies abed till noon, takes no exercise, and
lives on sweets and pickles. Her punish
ment is the toothache, dentist's bills, a
toothless old age and a very bad com
plexion. Good teeth are rare with Rus
sian ladies, and a fresh complexion is
seldom seen on the streets.
Half the men who pass are in uniform,
and, warm as it is, like the isvoshchics,
wear big overcoats. The wearing of
overcoats in summer is a Russian
peculiarity. One of our popular im
pressions of the Russian is that he cau
stand more cold than a polar bear. Such
is not the case, at all events, with tho
city Russian. An American who comes
to St. Petersburg or Moscow in the
winter can stand the cold better than n
re ident. He can stand it out doors with
thinner clothes on, and is altogether less
sensitive to the nose-nipping Russian
frost. In winter the isvoshchic bundles
himself up in sheepskins until you can see !
nothing but a pair of human eyes peering !
out of a ridiculous bundle of wool and |
fur garments. The Russian becomes a j
polar bear in winter, not because he can i
stand the cold, but because he can
not.
All the people in military uniforms who !
pass by, however, are not soldiers. You '
sec little shavers of ten or twelve years
old trudging along in military overcoat
sod trappings. These areyoung students,
who are required to wear uniforms, con
spicuous colors aud trimmings for the
different schools lor purposes of identi
fication. The newsboys also wear uni
torms.
A troop of Cossacks pass by. all big,
fine fellows, belonging to oue of tho
crack regiments, all riding splendid black
stallions, sixteen bauds high, spirited and
glossy.
A string of twelve droskies file past,
each one containing a big Russian grey
houud and a keeper in a red shirt. They
beksag to some sporting nobleman and are
bound for the railway station to bo taken
somewhere out in the country to an estate
for a day’s coursing for hares.
A man in a suit of white, coarse can
vas and with a brand on the buck tramps
along between two policemen with drawn
swords. He is a prisoner. His face is
pale, showing that he has been in con
finement some time. Otherwise he
looks no different from.his keepers, with
whom he chats freely ns they walk
past.
Au aged couple try to halt a tram,
which, like the street car of London, car
ries passengers both inside and on the
roof. The conductor shakes them a
negative. His car is carrying the num
ber permitted by law, and no such con
fusion aud overcrowding arc allowed as
in New York.
Au economical party of four from the
country drive past, all piled iu oue small
droskv, two Women sittiug iu two men’s
laps. Workmen stride along, nine out
of tea in tep boots and red shirts. The
red shirts are outside the trousers. A
waistcoat is worn, but no coat, aud the
trousers are slouchily tucked inside the
boots, Mingled with the throng are
ruoujiks from thoeouutry, visiting “Pa
ter-boorg,” perhaps, for the first time
in their lives. They wear dirty sheep
skin coats, shockingly bad caps, home
made foot-gear of the rudest, pattern
and material, and their shock heads have
been trimmed for the visit to the city by
placing a bowl ou tho top, upside down,
and clipping around it. They look like
savages—as incongruous aad out of place
on the Nevsky as Indians would on
Fifth avenue.
Nurse maids from Finland, or from
Little Russia, ride by in the family car
riage with their charges. They wear a
wonderful dress of gorgeous colors aud
gold embroidery, and a sort of beaded
brass, silver or gold crown on the head.
Young lady students go past in little
troops or alone, carrying portfolios bear
ing the word “Musique.” Music is the
fad of the day iu St. Petersburg. All
the young ladies rave over “Musique.”
A small crowd is gathering on the
street corner, as I letiVe my window iu
the cafe. The Czar Is coming iu from
Peterhof and will drive this way. Ido
not wait, for I have seen him and the
Empress before. When the Czar and the
visiting Italian heir-apparent drove down
the Nevsky, tho other day, it was down
a lane through the assembled and ap
plauding populace, in which scarcely a
soldier or a policeman was to be seen.
The people were under less restraint* than
a New York crowd is at any popular
gathering.
The Czar and the Grand Duke Alexis
look as much alike as if they were twins.
The Empress has a pretty face, but like
her sister, tli3 Priucess of Wales, it is
sweet and winning rather than beautful.
The Russians call it the “nose celestial”
in worshipful deference to its skyward
trend.
Both Emperor and Empress are loved
aud rnspected by the upper circles and
worshipped by the common people.
Treatment of Seal Skins.
To begin with, the crude, dry-salted
seal skin is taken and cleansed of salt
and dirt, after which it is stretched per
fectly smooth upon a marble slab with
the skin side up. Then a planing ma
chine is used to pare down the skin to
one-third of its original thickness. As
the skin comes from the animal It is cov
ered with long gray and white hairs.
These hairs haze their roots deep in the
skin, and tho plane cuts off the roots, so
that the long hairs are readily removed
with a stiff brush, leaving the undercoat
of downy fur which is so beautiful.
Next, the skin is tanned in the ordinary
way, and finally it has to be dyed. Pot
this latter purpose the brownish fur is
covered with a layer or liquid paste,
which contains the dye. Several succes
sive applications of this paste have to be
j made before the desired shade is ob-
I tained, and the greatest skill is required
! in the process. It pays better for a deal
!er to send a seal skin to London to lie
i dyed than to have it done here, because
|of the risk of spoiling it. The art is a
trade secret most carefully kept and
handed do wu in the craft from father to
soß,generation after generation. Last of
all, the skin is cleansed from the dye
paste, and is then ready for market.
The seal ika very tamable and affec
tionate animal. In intelligence it is nearly
if not quite equtri to the dog. Its cousiD,
the sea lion, is most useful to the na
tives of Behring Sea, who make boats
from its skin, waterproof clothing from
its intestines, and oil pouches from its
stomach walls. Its whiskers they send
to San Francisco, where they are sold
for a cent apiece to the Chinese, who
use them to pick their pipes and in cer
tain mysterious religious ceremonials.—

An Idiot Fanil.
An agricultural colony for idiots has
been established near Kharkov, Russia,
on a piece of land of about oue hundred
acres, which the Citizens’ Council of that
Government has bought for the purpose
from the Countess Shoovalova. Two
large pavilions have been built for the
accommodation of forty-five men and
thirty-five women. Seventy-two patients
have already been received there. The
land is laid out in gardens.orchards and
fields for sowing gram, and the patients
will be trained to cultivate them. The
outside appearance of the that of
a wealthy farm, and the pavilions are
filled out with all that is required for
the care and comfort of the patients.
Besides agricultural work they will be
trained to take care of cattle aad fowls
aud to light manual work, such as spin
ning and weaving of baskets in the
winter time. A staff of three physicians
and men and women superintendents
have been engaged to take care of the
Institution.— Chicago Herald.
Bean Soup.
Soak over night one pint of good dry
Leans; throw off this water, parboil fif
teen minutes, and put to boil in plenty
of cold water with half a pound of fat
pork cut in slices. Hrnmer slowly till
soft, adding more water as needed. There
should be two and a half quarts of it
when done. Cut the pork in dice, and
rub that and the beans through a coarse
sieve or colandar. Have ready one pint
of cooked and thinly slices c.irrot; if very
large cut the slices in quarters. Mix,
and heat up with one quart of new milk,
adding water if too thick. Just before
serving add two ounces of butter, and
pepper to taste. The pork may he
omitted and moro butter, or a cup of
crevm used in its place.
During*thc year ending June 30, 1890,
0,823, people were killed by railroads in
the United States, and 2%>800 injured;
477,171,343 passengers were carried, so
that the chances of each passenger being

Bring Up Children Rationally.
It is as natural to a child to be happy
as it is to a fish to swim. But for this
they need a certain amount of “letting
alone.” It is a great mistake for parents
to hamper thei-children with foolish re
strictions. Do not fancy your boy is
made of glass. Grant a reasonable re
?uet, niul let him feel that when you ro
use, it is for hia own good. The young
est child needs some sort of agreeable oc
cupation, and a certain amount of physi
cal freedom. There is nothing more pain
ful to young people than to feel thnt life
is one dull routine, and thnt “nothing
ever happens, ” as we once heard a discon
solate lad remark.
Stone-cutter —“WouTfl Von like the
words, ‘We will meet againSjugravod on
your husband’s tombstone?” Widow —
“For heaven’s sake, no! What you want
to put on that stone is ‘Rest in Peace!’”
The Use of quinine.
There is no questioning the fact that quinine
is a valuable medicine ns a tonic, antl-periodio
and anti-pyretic, and that its discovery ha
greatly helped the cause of medicine. Hfciii in
a majority of cases its use is not altogether
satisfactory as it frequently deranges the sys
tem, producing headache, dizzy feelings, con
vulsions and rometlines even paralysis. It
was the endeavor of the eminent Dr. John Bull
of Louisville, Ky., to invent a substitute tor
quinine, something that would have all the
good qualities of quinine, and vet be entirely
free from its evil tendencies. How admirably
he succeeded is evidenced by the estimation in
which his remedy Smith's Tonic Syrup is held
by the ihm)1)1c; where it is best known every
body uses it in place of quinine and it never
fails to give the very best of satisfaction. In
ruses of chills and fever it is absolutely a safe
and certain cure.
What is there besides luck that amounts to
anything In cards 'i “A good deal.”

pletely cured my little girl.” Sold by Drug

for Coughs, Bronchitis and other dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs. Like
other so-called Patent Medicines, it is
well advertised, and having merit it has
attained to a wide sale. Call it a “Nos
trum” if you will, but believe us when
we say that at first it was compounded
after a prescription by a regular physi
cian, with no idea that it would ever go
on the market as a proprietary medicine.
Why is it not just as good as though
costing fifty cents to a dollar for a pre
scription and an equal sum to have it put
up at a drug store?

It was Ben Johnson, we be
lieve, who, when asked Mal
lock’s question, “ Is life worth
living ? ” replied “ That de
pends on the liver." And Ben
Johnson doubtless saw the
double point to the pun.
The liver active—quick—-
life rosy, everything bright,
mountains of trouble melt like
mountains of snow.
The liver sluggish—life dull,
everything blue, molehills of
worry rise into mountains of
anxiety, and as a result—sick
headache, dizziness, constipa
tion.
Two ways are open. Cure
permanently, or relieve tem
porarily. Take a pill and suf
fer, or take a pill and get well.
Shock the system by an over
dose, or coax it by a mild,
pleasant way.
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets
are the mild means. They
work effectively, without pain,
and leave the system strong.
One, little, sugar-coated pel
let is enough, although a
whole vial costs but 25 cents.
Mild, gentle, soothing and
healing is Dr. Sage’s Catarrh
Remedy. Only 50 cents.
