Bcutia, for the purpose of ascertaining
whether such company was formed or
is beiug conducted by reason of any
assurance that tho tariff duty on coal

so to ascertain who gave such assur¬
ances, whether or not any officer of
tho government, or any member of

company, and what actiou, if any, has
Wen taken by any person in fullfil
mont of such assurances.
The conference report on the dis¬
trict of Columbia appropriation bill
was presented in tho senate Thursday
and aggreed to. The house anti¬
option bill was reported from tho com¬
mittee on agriculture, and placed on
the calendar. Mr. Hill, fromthecom
mitteeon immigration, reported back

dustry. **
The last of tho appropriation bills,
the general deficiency, passed tho sen¬
ate Friday and will now go to a con¬
ference, in which tho disagreeing votes
of the two houses will be reconciled
and adjusted. Seven ont of the four¬
teen appropriation bills have already
become law through the signature of
the president These are the fortifi¬
cations, the pensions, the military
academy, the naval academy, the post
office, the diplomatic and the legisla¬
tive. The other aeven arc some of
them in the president's handa awaiting

sion of the territome of New Mexico
Arisen* mi state* ware reported
tb* committee, on toVrUorto* and
i« PH t»! OsteeAat, from wfcish
they may be taken at any time and
passed. The conference report on the
river and harbor bill was prosented
and went over until Saturday. After
a short executive session tho senate
adjourned.
There would havo been no session
tho senate Saturday but for the fact
that there had been an earnest desiro
expressed on Friday evening to havo
action on the conference report on tho
and harbor bill. It was discov¬
ered, however, that technical errors
had crept into the report, or into the
bill, and that it was necessary to send
the whole matter back to the confer¬
ence committee; And so tho report was
withdrawn for that purpose. The ab¬
sence of any important business press¬
ing for action furnished an opportunity,
the first time this session, of taking
np the calendar and disposing of all
private pension bills on it. There
was one rather important bill passed,
with very little discussion and with
no opposition. That was tho house
bill to subject to state taxation nation¬
al bank notes and United Btntes treas¬
ury notes. A few amendments of
form rather thun of substance wero
made to the bill.

The Question of Ivory.
The ivory question is important, be¬
trader cause ivory is the wealth of the slave
far more than are his slaves.
Ivory is now found almost exclusively
in the Congo state. The elephant, is
exterminated in Uganda and in Nyasa
land. Some 500 tons o! ivory reach
London yearly, but the supply is de¬
creasing. It is estimated that 75,000
elephants anc! are being killed every year,
if this is true even the Congo ••
herds cannot long survive such
slaughter.
It is generally agreed that as the
she elephant has only ono calf every
two or three years tho destruction • is
going on much faster than the breed¬
ing. Meanwhile it is to bo remem¬
bered that ivory is essentially a slave
trade product and comes from the
land of Tippu Tib. The sale of arms
and ammunition must be prevented
from all sides. Tho sale of spirits
offers less temptation to tho European
trader, because those Arabs nro Mos¬
lems aud do not drink.— Edinburgh.

"I have seen Datro’t grow from a village

everybo 1y in the city, and au incident which
recently happened in my life has interosto t
all my friends.
•‘It is now about eight years ago sine i 1
was stricken down with my first case of ill¬
ness. Ono cold, blustering day I was down
town and through mv natural carelessness
nt that time 1 permitted myself to get chide l
right through. Whoa I arrived home that
evening 1 felt a serious pain in my left leg.
I bathed it that night, but by morning I
found it had grown worse. Iu fact it was so
serious that I sent for my fa mi 4' physician,
and ho informed mo that I was suffering
from varicose veins. My Jog swelled up to
double its natural size and tho pain increased
In volume. Tho agony was simply awful, I
was laid up and never left my bed for eight
weeks. At times I felt as though I would
grow frantic with pain. My leg was ban¬
daged and was propped np in the bod at an
angle of thirty degree*, in order to keep the
blood from flowing to my extremities.
“I had several doctors attending me, but
I believe my own judgment helped me better
than theirs. After a siege of two months I
could move around, still I was on tho siok
list and had to doctor myself for years. I
was never really cured and buffered any
ainouut of anguish.
“About two years ago I noticed an article
in the Evening News about my friend, Mr.
Nortbrup, In the Woodward avenue mercuant.
an interview with him ho stated that ho
had used Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Palo
People and that they cured him. I know him
very well, having I built his bouse out Wood¬
ward Ave., and thought I would follow his
suggestion. I must confess I did so with
marvelous success. From ttio timo I bogan
to take tho Piuk Pills I twit myself growing
to be a new man. Thoy acted on mo liko a
magical stimulant. Tho pain departed aud
I soon was as strong anil healthy as ever.
Before trying tho Piuk 1811s I had used any

I was myself again.
“When a person finds himself relieved and
enjoying health ho Is apt to exposo himself
again to another attack ot illness. Some
three months ago I stoppod taking tho Pink
Pills, and from tho day I did so 1 noticed a
change in my condition. A short timo since
I renewed my habit of taking them with tho
same beneficial results which met mo for¬
merly. I am again nearly as strong ns ever,
although I am a man about fifty-six years of
age. I tell you, sir, the Pink Pills are a most
wouderful medicine, and It they do as well
in other cases as they did in mino they aro
the best in tho world. I freely recommend
them to any sufferer.’’

A Valuable Discovery.
Mexican advices announce that a
discovery of a great scientific interest
has been mado in excavations boing
carried on in the district of Tlaxiaco,
stato of Oaxaca.
A number of small images, formed
in metal, were uncovered by workmen
digging iu ono of tlio oldest ruins.
These images are said to roprosont
people of oriental appearance—in
Chinese or Japanese dress—soino of
them resembling Budhist priests in
their robes of sacrifice. They bear
hieroglyphics of unknown characters,
and aro elaborately wrought with flno
art lines shown in every curve. The
images aro of gold, either wholly or
in part, aud are coated with some un¬
known enamel, which has preserved
them splendidly. Thoy aro to bo sont
to tho city of Mexico and placed at
tho difqiosal of tho scientific world for
further study and discussion.
Tho find is believed to bo tho most
important of tho year in the domain
of antiquities, and preparations aro
now being mado, I understand, to con¬
duct a complete exploration of tho
Tlaxiaco ruins for further evidence of
this ancient civilization, which nour¬
ished in southern Mexico and Guate¬
mala couturies before tho arrival of
tho Spanish conquerors.
What They Mean.
Tennyson could take a worthless
sheet of paper, writo a poorn upon it
and make it worth $35,000—that’s ge¬
nius. Vanderbilt can write a few
words on a sheet of paper anil make it
worth $5,000,000—that’s capital. Tho
United States can take an ounce and a
quarter of gold and stamp on it an
eagle “bird” and make it worth $20—
that’s monoy. A mechanic cau take
material worth $5 and malco it into
watch springs worth $.1,000—that’s
skill. A merchant can take an article
worth 75 cents aud sell it for $1—
that’s business. A lady can purchase
a 75 cent hat, but slio prefers one that
costs $27—that’s foolishness. A ditch
digger works ten hours a day and han¬
dles several tons of earth for $2—that’s
labor. The editor of this paper could
write a check for $30,000,000, but it
wouldn’t be worth a dime—that’s
rough. — Exchange.
A Salmagundi Party.
As the word implies, a salmagundi
party is one in which a variety of
forms of entertainment is sought and
may include games, cards, dancing,
etc. At a salmagundi party held in
New York cooking was a form of en¬
tertainment, each guest being called
upon to prepare some dish for supper.

Tim fathor who plunges into business
so deeply that he has no leisure for do¬
mestic duties aud pleasures, and whose
only intercourse with his children con¬
sists in a brief word of authority or a
surly lamentation over thoir expou
sivcncss, is equally to be pitied and to
bo blamed. Money is not tho only do
sirablo bequest which a fathor can
leave to his children. Well cultivated
intellects, hearts sensible to domestio
affection, tho lovo of parents, a taste
for homo pleasures, habits of ordor,
regularity aud industry, hatred of Yico
and a lively sensibility of tho excel¬
lence of virtue are ns valuable an in¬
heritance as a legacy of property. One
can be dispersed, and tho others can¬
not.
A recent English invention has tho
nursery is a “patont voileil sheet.” It
is an ordinary sheet in which a square
of gauze net is inserted. This is in¬
tended to bo thrown over the face of a
stooping infant, protecting it from
flies without impeding tho respiration.
