NATIONAL CAPITAL.
What is Being Done in Congressional
Halls for the Country’s Welfare.
PROCEEDINGS FROM DAT TO DAT BRIEFLY
TOLD —BILLS AND MEASURES UNDER
CONSIDERATION—OTHER NOTES.
THE HOUSE.
Wednesday—ln tbe bouse, Wednes
day, it was expected that a vote would
be taken on the world’s lair amendment
to tbe sundry civil bill without debate,
but the friends of the fair at the last mo
ment concluded that it would be better
to have more talk and, when at 12:80
o’clock the sundry civil report again ob
tained the floor, Mr. Caruth,of Kentucky,
was given an opportunity to explain why
he had decided to change front at this
time for tbe appropriation. His reason
was that the fair had become a national
matter. Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, closed
for the appropriation, his strong point be
ing that by ordering Sunday closing the
bouse bad diminished the fair receipts.
Mr. McMillin closed for the opposition,
urging the necessity for economy. The
debate being concluded Speaker Crisp
announced that he was satisfied that his
ruling Tuesday should be changed. The
effect of the ruling was to give Mr. Hol
man entire control of the situation unless
the house should take it away from him
by voting down some proposition he
makes. The first senate amendment
proposed to increase the appropriation
for the government exhibit, and, on Mr.
Holman’s motion, the house, without
division, insisted on its non concurrence
in this amendment. The same course
was followed as to other amendments
of minor importance to the
five-miilion-dollar appropriation, the
world’s fair managers not caring to force
the fighting until the big appropriation
was reached. In this way, without
division, alt the senate word's fair amend
ments were sent back to coherence until
the five-miilion-dollar appropriation was
reached. Mr. Holman, in accordance
with the opposition programme, yielded
to Mr. Bankhead to offer the five million
dollar amendment and the previous
quesion being ordered, the clerk began
to call the roll on Mr. Bankhead’s
amendment. On the first roll call the
amendment was defeated by a vote of 77
to 141. Mr. Holman demanded the yeas
and nays and a second roll call was
ordered. When the clerk finished the
calling of the roll it was noised around
that the motion had secured a majority
of nearly twenty. Mr. Holman immedi
ately changed his vote from the
negative to the affirmative
in order that ho might be entitled to
move a reconsideration. Several votes
were withdrawn, and the speaker finally
declared the motion carried by a vote of,
yeas 117, nays 105. All of the republi
cans voted to concur in the senate amend
ment. The Farmers’ Alliance members
vote ! against concurrence. Sixty three
democrats voted to concur. On the an
nouncement of the vote Mr. Holman was
promptly on his feet with a motion to
reconsider, snd Mr. Bingham as prompt
ly moved to lay that motion on the table.
Then filibustering began in earnest. Mr.
Outhwaite, of Ohio, moved an adjourn
ment and pending that moved thnt when
the house adjourn it be to meet Friday
next. This was supplemented by Mr.
Bailey, of Texas, with a motion for an
adjournment until Saturday. Sevcnty
■even of the opponents of the world’™ fair
proposition refrained from voting and Mr.
Bailey’s motian was lost—yeas, 2; nays,
143. The point of no quorum was raised
and Mr. Bingham moved a call of the
house, which was ordered, but only after
the filibusterers had wasted some time by
demanding tellers. Two hundred and
eight members responded to their names.
Mr. Bingham offered a resolution revok
ing all leaves of absence except those
granted on account of sickness and di
recting the sergeant-at-arms to notify
absent members to attend to the sessions
of the house immediately. The resolu
tion was subsequently withdrawn and
the house adjourned. When the matter
again comes up the pending vote will be
on Mr. Bingham’s motion to tablo the
motion made by Mr. Holman to recon
sider the vote by which the house reced
cd from its disagreement to the world’s
fair amendment.
Thursday. —McMillin, of Tennessee,
called up in the house a joint resolution
that congress adjourn Saturday, at 2
•.’clock. Mr. Hatch opposed it fiecauso
he wanted the anti-options bill to pass
and Mr. Outhwaite, the leader of
the filibusters, has also opposed it, and
suggested Monday next as the date of
adjournment. The house refused on a
vote of (15 to 110 to agree to the amend
ment, fixiug the date of adjournment at
2 o’clock Monday next. The oiiginal
McMillin resolution providing for the fi
nal adjournment of congress at 2 p. m.
Saturday, was then adopted by a
vote of 121 to 51. The speaker stated
the pending motion to be that
made by Mr, Bingham to table
tbe motion to reconsider the vote by
which the house receded from its disa
greement to the senate's World’s Fair
amendment. Immediately the fllibus
terms came to the front led by Mr.
Outhwaite, who moved an adjournment,
tup|dementing this motion with one to
sojourn until Saturday. Mr. Cummings,
of New York, acted as lieutenant and
moved an adjournment until Mondav.
On the Cummings motion the vote stoocl:
yets 1, uays 164, 2 less than a quoium,
and the house was at a standstill, having
refused to order a call. On the vote re
curring, on Mr. Curomiog’s mo
tion to adjourn till Monday,
the house was again left without a quo
rum.
Friday.— I The World's Fair matter
was delayed by a question of privilege
raised t y Mr. Wheeler, or Alabama, rc
lative to certain statements contained in
a campaign book recently published by i
Representative Watsou, of Georgia, re- I
viewing the action of the present congress ]
and positions taken by its members in
the past. The house was thrown into a
state of great confusion resulting from
tbe sssertions by Mr. Wataon that everv
word written in the book to whi h
Wheeler referred was literally true, aid
that he stood ready to defend every word
of them. The asscriion was greeted with
prolonged hisses, as the words charge
h t drunkeu members reel through the
"nd drunken members speak main
grave measures. Mr. Watson was
called to order by Mr. Tracy,
of New York, who was greatly
indignant over the wholesale charge upon
the house. Mr. Watson was permitted
to explain his language. He reiterated
his assertion as to the truth of the state
ment made by him and defied the house
to do with him what it wished. Mr.
Boatner introduced a resolution calling
for the appointment of a committee to
investigate the truth of Mr. Wstson’s
charges relative to drunkenness of mem
bers of the house, snd to recommend
what course shall be taken with respect
to the member (Mr. Watson) if the
' charge is found to be ttn'rne. FIT "bus
| terlng was immediately inniigur ted by
! Mr. Cummings, of Now Ymk, a suming
1 command of the filibusters. Mr. Boatm r
ssk'd for immediate action on the reso
lution. and the question of its privilege
was discussed and was ruled to be privi
leged aDd adopted wuhout division. It
was after 1.80 p. m. when the house re
sumed the consideration of the World’s
fnir amendments to sundry civil appro
priation bills.
Saturday. —The World’s fair appro
priation continues to deadlock congress.
The filibustering in the house went on
j Saturday until the announcement was
made of the death of Representative
| Craig. The house then adjourned out of
! respect to his memory. Before that,
however, and during tbe filibustering
Mr. Holman reported a resolution ex
tending the old sundry civil appropria
tions until August 4th. Mr. Hopkins, of
Illinois, one of the World’s fair advo
cates, objected to its consideration,
knowing at the time that a failure to
adopt it would leave many departments
of the government without funds. His
objection sent the resolution over.
THE SENATE.
Wednesday. —ln tbe senate, Wednes
day, Senator Hale, of the committee on
naval affairs, introduced a joint resolution
to amend the act in relation to the pro
posed international naval review at
Hampton Roads and New York. Tbe
amendment empowers and directs the sec
retary of the navy to send the United
States ships of war to rendezvous in
Hampton Roads in April, 1893, and to
proceed thence at some time during the
month of May or June to New York har
bor to hold a review. The senate joint
resolution authorizing foreign exhibitors
at the world’s Columbian exposition to
bring into the United Htates foreign
laborers of their respective countries for
the purpose of preparing for and making
their exhibits was taken from the calen
dar and passed. The anti-option bill
then came up and three speeches
were made upon it. No
attempt was made to have a vote on
Mr. Wolcott’s motion to refer the bill to
the committee on finance and when Mr.
Washburn asked unanimous consent to
have a time fixed, (perhaps Thursday)
for taking the final vote on the bill and
pending amendment, a very prompt and
determined objection was Interposed by
Mr. White. Many house pension bills
were taken from the calendar and passed;
also, the senate bill to faoilita'e the en
forcement of the immigration and con
tract labor laws of the United States;
also, the house bill to authorize the con
struction of a bridge over the Tennessoe
river at Deposit, Ala, After a short
executive session the senate adjourned.
Thursday. —ln the senate, sundry res
olutions for the appointment of select
committees to sit during recess were re
ported. After spending one h >ur in pass
ing bills on tbe calendar, among them
the eight-hour law as to the public works
of the United States and the District of
Columbia, the anti-option bill was taken
up at 2 o’clock p. m., and Mr. Washburn
moved to lay on the tablo. Mr. Wolcott
inovod to refer it to the committee on
finance. This was agreed to by
the very decisive majority of 32 to 13.
Mr. Paddock then proceeded to deliver
an argument in favor of the bill. Mr.
Turpie also defended the bill, both from
moral and legal points of view. After
wards the amendments came up for ac
tion. Mr. Washburn’s amendment to
strike out section 12 was agreed to. Mr,
Daniel’s amendment to strike out section
13 was debated until 5 o’clock, when the
renators, exhausted by the oppressive
hi at, voted unanimously for adjournment.
The house adjournment resolution was
received and referred to the appropria
tion committee.
Friday— There was no quorum when
the senate mot Friday morning ami a
half hour passed before one appeared;
then Mr. Stewart seiz d the op
portunity afforded by the colloquy
between Messrs. Carlisle and Cock
rell to make a silver speech. Mr.
Carlisle addressed the senate on Mr.
Hale’s invitation as to the re alive merits
of “protection” and “tariff for revenue
only,’’ and in response to tlie speeches of
Messrs. Hale and Aldrich.
Saturday. —The anti option bill was
finally buried in the senate Saturday.
Owing to the hot weather many senators
have left Washington for the summer.
Senator Washburn realizes ho could
never get a quorum to vote upou it this
session, so he agreed at Saturday’s res
siou for it to go over until D. comber.
That practically means its defeat after
the election, ns but little interest will be
taken in tbe measure, and the opposition
will find no difficulty in postponing it
indefinitely.
Monday —The attendanse of senators
Monday morning was not indicative of
any great success having attended the
telegraphic summons of the vice presi
dent recalling absentees. The vice pres
ident stated that no less than thirty-one
such telegrams had been rent out, and he
laid before the senate four telegrams re
ceived by him alleging rick ness as the
cause of absence. These were from
Messrs. Wilson, Ca-ey, Dolph and Faulk
ner. Leaves of absence were granted, be
sides, to Mr. Platt, for the remainder of
the session, aud Mr. Gibson, of Louisiana,
for Tuesday. On motion of Mr. Hawley,
the invitation of the Grand Army of the
Republic at the encampment in Septem
ber was accepted on the part of the sen -
ate, and a committee of five senators pro
vided for. The house joint resolution,
extending the appropriations included iu
the sundry civil bill till Thursday receiv
ed from the house was laid before the
senate and parsed.
NOTES.
An extra session of congress is possible
if the filibusters will not let the for “p
propriation go through, and it the fair
people will not let the resolution extend
ing the old appropriation from August
4 (as it now stands), to next December
an extra season wc uld have to be called
to meet the emergency or a lot of gov
ernment machinery would stop. This
situation existed once before and an ex
tra session bed to settle it.
The president, on Friday, vetoed the
famous McGsrrahan claim bill. Tbe veto
message comes in the face of the fact
that the bill passed both houses of con
gress by more than a two-thirds majority.
For his veto the president has been se
verely criticised. Old man McOarrahan
had expected it from the president’s de
| lay in acting, and received the news
philosophically. He believes it can be
passed over the president’s veto in De
cember. Such an effort will be made.
The Walton Investigation.
Watson’s statement to the committee
and his statements iu his book revealed
j the fact that Judge James E. Cobb, of
the Tuskegee, Ala., district, ww the
speaker referred to. Cobb's name was
| made public at his request. He said it was
generally known that the charge was
against him and he wished an opportun
ity to refute it. All Mr. Watson’s wit
nesses expressed the opinion that he was
intoxicated when he made his speech in
tne Noyes-Rock well esse. Mr. Rock
well, in whose favor Judge Cobb was
arguing, test fi d that he had seen Cobb
liefore, after and all during his speech,
and that he was not in the smallest de
gree intoxicated. Colonel Oates, of A'n
bama, testified that be had known Cobb
twenty-seven years; that he was not a
drinking man; that ho stood high in his
church; that his character was above
reproach. He said that Cobb was physi
cally week; that he was making a long
and careful argument; that some friend
sent to his desk a stimulant (whiskey, he
supposed); that Cobb sipped it; that his
manner brightened up somewhat; that he
emphatically was not drunk. Represen
tative Patterson, of Tennessee; Bynum,
1 of Indiana; Meyer, of Louisiana; Dele
gate Smith, of Arizona; Peyion Wise, of
Virginia, clerk to the house commerce
committee, and Solicitor Hepburn of the
treasury testified to Mr. Cobb’s sobriety
on the occasion in question. Messrs
Patterson, Bynum and one or two other
witnesses testified that they bad seen a
cup on Mr. Cobb’s desk and had seen him
drink out of it, but from close observ.i
tion and Knowledge of Mr. Cobb they
knew that he was not under the influence
of liquor. Representative DeForest, of
Connecticut, did not think Mr. Cobb at
all under the influence of liquor. Mr.
Fellows, of New York, testified, and
gave general absolution to members of
the bouse as to drunkenness. Mr. Mutch
ler, of Pennsylvania, testified in de
nial of the truth of Mr. Watsou’a
charges, and so did Mr. Tracey, of New
York. The members of this house, Mr.
Mutchler said, were particularly Ire"
from the habit of intoxication, and were
as sober a set of men as he ever saw in
his life. He would not say that he had
never seen a member on the floor of the
house under the influence of liquor, but
he never saw a member drunk there this
session. Mr. O’Brien Moore, correspon
dent of the St. Louis Republic, testified
that he talked with Mr. Cobb Immedi
ately before and after his argument, to
which he had listened, and knew Mr.
Cobb was not under the influence of
liquor. Mr. Andrew Devine one of
the official stenographers of the
house, produced the manuscript of
the official report cf Mr. Cobb’s
argument, and testified that he saw
nothing in Mr. Cobb’s conduct to justify
the charges made. The examination of
congressional witnesses to prove by cu
mulative evidence of his audience that
Mr. Cobb was not under the influence of
liquor when he delivered his Noyes-
Rockwell speech grew tiresome from tbe
long array of congressmen who made
statements. Messrs, Funston, of Kan
sas; Cummings and Rockwell, of New
York; Wheeler, of Michigan; Dungau
of Ohio; Wise and Meredith, of Vir
ginia; Byrnes, of Missouri; Kyle, of
Mississippi; Sperry, of Connecticut, aud
Stump, of Maryland, added their testi
mony to that of previous witnesses who
had testified that they listened to Mr.
Cobb’s argument, and were surprised at
the charge tliut he was under the influ
ence of liquor.
THE DEADLY HEAT.
The Highest Death Rate Known in
Twenty Years.
TWO HRNDHED AND EIGHTY-SIX DKATIIS
IN NEW YORK CITY IN ONE DAY
MORTALITY IN PHILADELPHIA.
During twenty-four hours, euding at
noon Saturday, 286 deaths were reported
m New York city. This is the heaviest
death rate for a single day for twenty
years. The number of deaths for the
week was 1,434, the heaviest since July
6, 1870, when 1,581 deaths were reported
for the week ending that day. Prostra
tions from heat among workmen ul the
Williamsburg sugar refineries for the
week exceeded 600 Only two of the
large sugar houses are in full operation.
Havemeyer’s establishment employs near
ly one thousand four hundred men. Of
these more than four hundred, or nearly
83 per cent, were carried out during the
week. The Brooklyn sugar refinery (fin
ploys 450 men. Of those between seven
ty and one hundred wore compelled to
quit work and have been replaced by new
men, ns were those in the Havoweyer
sugar house.
GREAT MORTALITY IN PHILADELPHIA.
The effect of the terrible heat of tho
past week in the city of Philadelphia
whs startlingly shown by the weekly re
port made Saturday by the board of
health. During the week ended at 10
o'clock Saturday, Health Officer Voale
issued 870 death certificates. This is a
gieater mortality than hag ever been re
corded by the officers before. This death
rate is even greater than when epidemics
of grippe or even cholera, smallpox ot
diphtheria scourged the city.
COOLER IN BALTIMORE.
The weather at Baltimore Saturday, was
about eight degrees cooler on an average
than that of Friday, but deaths and pros
trations from heat during the day were
nearly as numerous us those on any other
of the protracted hot spell. The report
of the city health commissioner for the
week gives the following facts: Total
number of deaths for tho week, 457;
under five years, 224; from sunstroke,
51; cholera infantum, 89; convulsions,
18. The number of deaths for the cor
responding week of 1891 was 207, or 250
less than for the week just ended, and
the excess 'n mortality is attributed by
the health commissioner to be unparal
leled heat here. Never before in the
history of the city have there been so
many deaths during the same period of
time.

A DETROIT MIRACLE.
A GREAT TRIUMPH FOR CANADIAN
. MEDICAL (SCIENCE.
PARTICULARS OF ONE OF THE MOST REMARK
ABLE CURES ON RECORD DESCRIR D RT
THE DETROIT NEWS— a STORY WORTH
A CAREFUL PERUSAL.
(Detroit New*.)
The following paragraph, which appeared
fn the N«wb a short time ago, furnishe t the
baots of tht* information-a cose that was
*o wonderfully remarkable that it demanded
further explanation. Tt is of sufficient im
portance to the New-’ readers to report it to
them fullv. It was so important then that
it attracted considerable attention at the
Hme. The following is the paragraph in
question:
“C. B. Northrop, for 28 years one of the
liest known merchants on Woodward ave
nue, who was supposed to be dying last
spring of locomotor ataxia, or creeping
paralysis, ha- secured a new lease of life and
returned to work at his store. The disease
ties n'wavs lieen suppose I to be incurable,
t ut Mr. Northrop’s condition is greatly im
proved and it looks now as if the grave
wc uld lie cheated of its prey."
Since that time Mr. Northrop has steadily
Improved, not only in looks, but in condition,
till he has regained his old-time strength.
It had been hinted to tho writer of this
article, who was acquainted with Mr.
Northrop, that this miraculous change had
been wrought by a very simple remedy
called Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple. When asked almut it Mr. Northrop
fully verified the statement, and not
only sc, but he had taken pains to
inform any one who was suffering
in a similar manner when he heard of any
such ease. Mr. Northrop was enthusiastic
at the result in his own case of Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills. It wsg a remedy that he had
heard of after lie had tried everything he
could hO|je to give him relief. He had been
in the care of the l<est physicians who did all
they could to alleviate this terrible malady,
tut without any avail. He had given up
hope, when a friend In Loekport, N. Y. t
wrote him of the case of a person there who
bait been cured iu similar circumstanc-s by
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.
The person cured at Loekport had
obtained his information respecting
Dr. Williami’ Pink Fills from an article
published iu the Hamilton, Ont,, Times.
Tbe case was called “The Hamilton Miracle"
and told the story of a man in that city who,
after almost incredible suffering, was pro
nounced by the moat eminent physicians to
be incurable and permanently disabled. He
had silent hundreds of dollars in ail sorts of
treatment and appliances only to be told in
the end that there was no hope for him, and
that cure was impossible. The person al
luded to (Mr. John Marshall, of 25 Littla
William Bt., Hamilton, Unt.,) was a mem
ber of the Royal Templars of Temperance,
and after having been pronounced perma
nently disabled and incurable by the physi
cians, was paid the #IOOO disability insurance
provided by the order for its memtiers in
such cases. For years Mr. Marshall had been
utterly helpless, and was barely able to drag
himself around bis bouse with the aid of
crutches. His agonies were almost unbear
able and life was a burden to him, when at
last relief came. Home months after
he had been paid the disability
claim he heard of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
and was induced to try them. The result
was miraculous; almost from the outset an
improvement was noticed, and in a few
months the man whom medical experts had
said was incurable, was going about the
city healthier and stronger than before. Mr,
Marshall was so well known in Hamilton
• bat all tbe city newspapers wrote up his
wonderlul recovery in detail, and it was
thus, as before stated, that Mr. Northrop
came into poasession of the information that
led to his equally marvelous recovery. One
could scarcely conceive a case more hopeless
than that of Mr. Northrop. His injury
came about in this way: One day, nearly
four years ago, lie stumbled and tell the
complete length ot a steep flight of stairs
which were at the rear of his siore. HU
head and spine were severely injured. He
was picked up and taken to bis home. Creep
ing paralysis very soon developed itself, and
in spite of the most strenuous efforts
of friends and physicians the ter
rible affliction fastened itself upon him.
For nearly two years he was perfectly
helpless. He could do nothing to sup
port his strength in the least effort. He had
to be wheels i about in an invalid’s chair.
He was weak, pale and fast sinking when
his timely information came that veritably
snatched his life from the jaws ot deatu.
Those who at that time saw a feeble old man
wheeled into bis store on an invalid’s chair
would not recognize the man now, so great
is the ebauge that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
have wrought. Wheu Mr. Northrop learned
of the remedy that had cured Mr. Marshall
in Hamilton, ami the person in Loekport, he
procured a supply ot Dr. Williams’ Pink
rills through Messrs. Bassett & L'llomme-
Uieu, 25 VV oodward avenue, and from the
outset louud an improvement. He faithfully
adhered to tne use ot the remedy until now
he is completely restored. Mr. Northrop
declares that there oau be no doubt as to
Pink Pills being the Cause of bis restoration
to health, as all other remedies aud medical
treatment left him iu a condition rapidly go
ing from bad to worse, until at last it was
declared there was no hope for him aud he
was pronounced incurable. He was in this
terrible condition when he began to use Dr.
W Illinois' Pink Pills, au l they have restored
him to health.
Mr. Northrop was asked what was claimed
for this wonderlul remedy,and replied that
he uuuerslood that the proprietors claim it
to be a blood builder and nerve restorer;
supplying lit a condensed form all the ele
ments necessary so earn'd sue 0100 l, restore
shattered nerves an t drive out disease. It
is claimed by the proprietors that Pink Pills
will cure paralysis, rheumatism, sciatica,
palpitation of the h'art, healache, and all
diseases peculiar to females, loss of appetite,
dizziness, sleeplessness, 1 wi of memory, and
all diseases arising from overwork, mental
worry, loss of vital force, etc.
“I want to say,” said Mr. Northrop, “that
I don't have much faith in patent medicines,
but l cannot say too much in favor of Dr.
Williams’Pink Pills. The proprietors,how
ever, claim that they are not a patent med
icine In the sense in which that term is used,
but a highly scientific preparation, the re
sult of years of careful stu ly and exoeri
ment on the part of tbe proprietors, au l the
pills were successfully used in private
practice for years before being placed
for general sale. Mr. Northrop
declares that he is a living ex
ample that there is nothing to equal these
pills as a cure for nerve diseases. On inquiry
the writer found that these pills were man
ufactured by Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y„ and Brockville, Ont.,
and the pills are sold in boxes (never in bulk
by the hundred), at 50 cents a box, and may
be had of all druggists or direct by mail
from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co..from either
above addresses. The price at which these
pills are sold makes a course of treatment
with them comparatively inexpensive as
compared with other reineiies or medical
treatment. This case is one of the most re
markable on record, an I as it is one right
here in Detroit, and not a thousand miles
away, it can be easily verified Mr. North
rup is very well known to the people ot
Detroit, and he says he is only too glad to
testify of the marvelous good wrought in his
case. He says he considers it his duty to
help all who are similarly afflicted by any
word he can say in behalf of the wonderful
eflioacy of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.

mented by a profusion of tropical plants,
and in the galleries of the pavillion will
be placed more than three thousand beau
tiful birds,many of which have very gor
geous plumage.
Conspicuous in the shoe and leather
exhibit at the World’s fair will be the
display made by Lynn, Mass. Lynn ii
the largest shoe producing centre in the
United States, fully seventy five and per
haps one hundred of the shoe manufact
urers of th t city will furnish exhibits.
They are acting in harmony in the mat
ter.
Thomas Cook & Son of London, the
well known tourists’agents, have notified
the transportation department of the
World’s fair that they intend to make an
exhibit of means of transportation inclu
ding the following: Norwegian carriole,
Norwegian sleigh, Lapland dog sleigh,
liish car,Neapolitan cart,Turkish caique,
Palestine encampment, camel saddle and
harness, elephant with howdah, Bombay
bullock cart, catamaran, Chinese palan
quin, Japanese jmriksha,antique English
sedan chairs, old English traT -'ing char
iot, models of dahabeahs and xlile steam
ers, models of boats and also to show
models ef various Egyptian temples.
France intends to show its skill in
landscape gardening at the World’s fair.
A eab'egram has been received from the
French commission asking that it be al
lowed to do and bear the expense of the
“whole decoration of the spaces sur
tounding the horticultural and the wo
man’s building.’’ This generous oiler,
doubtless, will bo accepted if it does not
interfere with plans too far advanced to
be changed. The French are world
renowned as artistic landscape gardeners,
and it is believed they would hardly have
made the offer referred to unless they
inteud to make a d splay of surpassing
b- auty. The commission asked also for
60,0(0 square feet for the French horti
cultural exhibit.
The Result.
Teacher (illustrating angles) “The
original inhabitants of New York lived
along the rivers, and laid out tho first
street at right angles to the waterfronts.
Do you unUerstand that?”
Pupi'i —“Yes’m.”
Teacher—‘ But the waterfronts were
not parallel. They met at a point form
ing au acute angle. Do you understand
that?”
Pupil—“Yes’m.”
Teacher—" Now what was tho result
when all tin ge streets finally meet?”
Pupil—“ New York.”—Smith and

All Early Display of Fireworks.
A veiy fine display of fireworks was let
off from a magnificent building in the
Green p-trk, London, in November, 1748,
to celebrate the peace of Aix-la-Chappelle.
The i ext fine display history records is
the rlegant one they had in Paris, on May
31, 1770, in honor of the marriage of the
Dauphin, who was Louis XVI in embryo.
The Fiench, in their intense enjoyment,
f ot up such a fine crowd and had such an
elegant panic that nearly 1,000 persons
were killed. Some of them were pushed
into the river, and some died of shock
and suffocation in the crowd.—New York
