From our Kcgular Correspondent.
Washington, April 16. Speaker
Crisp was not, and is not an advocate
of counting a quorum, although it was
advocated ty good Democrats long
belore Czar Reed was ever heard of
outside of the town in which he lives ;
but it became his'duty as chairman of
the Committee on Rules to obey the
caucus resolution directing that Com
mittce to prepare and report to the
House such a rule, and, like the good
Democrat he is, he obeyed, and the
new rule will be reported to the House
and probably adopted this week, and
when ence adopted he will see that it
is properly carried out and that mem
bers are not counted whether present
or not, as Reed used to do.
In this connection it is proper to
state that the Democrats of the House
were not driven into taking this action,
which so many Democrats of promi
nence personally opposed, by the Re
publicans as they are claiming. It
was the refusal of the Republicans to
vote that kept the House tied, except
during the short intervals when there
was a Democratic quorum present, for
almost a month, thus making conspic
uous the necessity for counting a
quorum or allowing the business of
the House to be dictated by the Re
publicans ; but after all it was not the
Republicans who forced the Dem
ocratic caucus to do what should not
have been necessary, out which was
absolutely necessary. It was the in
ability of the Democratic leaders to
keep a Democratic quorum on the
floor of the House that did the busi
ness. They concluded that they had
tried and failed so often to keep a
Democratic quorum that it would be
a good idea to make the Republicans
help by counting them when they re
fused to vote, and at the same time,
thank Heaven, they are going to make
the absentee come to time or forfeit
his pay while absent without leave, ex
cept when sick and unr.ble to attend
to his duties.
Senator White, of California, does
not believe that more than five Sena
tors will vote against the ratification of
the new Chinese treaty. It is expect
ed that a vote will be reached some
time this week, although there has
been no formal agreement to that ef
fect. There was not much surprise here
when the jury brought in a verdict for
$15,000 in favor of Miss Pollard in
her breach of promise case against
Representative Breckinridge, of Ken
tucky. It was generally expected.
Col. Breckinridge says the verdict wi 1
have no effect upon his candidacy for
Congress, and that he intends return
ing to Kentucky and making a person
al canvass of his entire district. There
is a general feeling of relief here that
the trial is at last over.
The cencral debate on the tariff
bill will by agreement close next Mon
day. Then the Senate will begin the
consideration of the bill by items, a
process which promises to be long and
tedious. Senator Smith, of New Jer
sey, delivered a tariff speech to-day
somewhat in line with that delivery by
Senator Hill a week ago, but not so
radical. The fear of the defeat of the
bill is only in the opposition papers ;
it does not exist among the Democra
tic Senators who are managing the
the bill. They expect that those Dem
ocratic Senators who stated at the
caucus held previous to the reporting
of the bill that they reserved the right
to propose amendments on the floor
of the Senate will succeed in getting
some amendments adopted, with the
aid of Republican votes, but they have
no doubts about the final passage of
the bill ; nor do they believe that
single Democratic vote will be cast
against it when the final vote is taken
The newspaper talk which has grown
out of a 'fake" interview with Senator
Murphy of New York, about the bill
not being voted upon before the Con
cressional election is simply rot. Sena
tor Murphy never said such a thing,
nor thought it. The bill is going to
be pushed to a vote at this session of
Congress, and it is going to be passed
These two things can be relied upon.
Senator Morgan's report on the new
Nicaragua Canal bill is strong and
convincing, concluding thus: "The
plan and certain effect of this bill if it
becomes a law will be to put into act
ive business employment $100,000,
000 borrowed from our own people
without risk to the government. It
would furnish good and wholesome
employment to 50,000 Americans,
who are marchi'ig on the highways.

apoplexy, Saturday night, at his resi

Beware of Ointmouts for Catarrh that
t contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except
on prescriptions from reputable phy
scians, as the damage they will do is
ten fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Hall's Catarrh
Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney

Riches And How To Win Them.
Wages Upon Which tha Wage-earning
Women May Ponder.
The secret of being rich consists not
altogether in managing to wrest a
large salary from unwilling employers,
though of course that is a help towards
wealth, but it consists in so dividing
whatever income one may have that
every possible emergency in life is
provided for and debt is successfully
kebt at bay.
Of course, the young woman with
an $S-salary often has the tastes of
the young woman with an $18 salary,
and she who makes $18 may feel poverty-stricken
because she is comj-elled
to deny herself the luxuries attainable
on $80 a week. But the cheerful fact
is to be remembered that she is
wealthiest who has learned to do with
out the most things.
I he girl wno makes $3 may be
living at home. If so, she can win the
gratitnde of her family by paying $3
or 54 a week regularly tor her board
and laundry. A dollar to be spent in
car fare and papers is all that she
should allow herself. The remaining
$3 or $4 should be divided into three
parts one for a clothing fund, one
for a sickness fund and one for a sav
ing fund. Of course she cannot dress
magnificently on so small a sum ; but
she can be neat and comfortable, espe
cially if she has a mother to look after
her clothes. If she should not be ill,
the sum she has saved to defray the
expenses of a possible illness will make
a desirable addition to her little sav
ings bank account.
There will be temptations tor such
a girl constantly to buy things "for
the house," or for some one in it, but
she must learn that to save her money
and thereby insure herself against be
ing a burden some time is more un
selfish than to spend it on this and
that trifle which appeals to her.
vV hatever a young woman s income,
she should divide it according to some
such principle. She should let the
largest snm be lor the necessities ci
existence, and the remainder should
go for saving, sickness, dressing and
amusements. If she does not have a
fairly good income her amusements
must of necessity be free ones. Such
as are to be had in church societies,
girls' clubs, libraries and social inter
course. If she makes enough, theatre,
opera, books and picture galleries may
coniriDuie 10 ner cujuiueiiv.
whatever the young woman's income,
this method of dividing it snouiu ce
religiously adhered to, for in that way
alone is it possible for her to save
money. And only by saving money is
real independence possible.

Mrs. Lizzie M. Botts of South Will
iamsport, Pa. writes; "Hood's Sarsap
arilla has cured mv little girl of scrofu
la. She was cured over a year ago and
she is as well as ever now. I have
been taking Hood's Sarsaparilla for
nain in mv side and on my lungs. I

has all left me. I believe if I had not
taken it I should have had consump
tion." Hood's Pills cure biliousness, head
ache. Senator Hill,
It is delightful to observe the enthu
siasm with which Senator Hill is wel
comed by the tariff organs into Re
publican fellowship. No one who has
a proper appreciation of the virtue of
gratitude can object to this.
The Renublican denunciation of
Hill even after he had helped to elect
Harrison in 188S and had tried to de
feat Cleveland in 1892 has always
seemed very reprehensible, and the
New York Tribune and the rest are
makina but tardv reparation in their
present encomiums upon Hill's wise
statesmanship.

But suppose he snouiu not ueat tne
venue oill after all Phila. Times .
Widespread interest has been ex
cited among war veterans and st'.
classes of citizens by the magnificent
record of the Civil War which is now
being distributed by The Philadel
phia Inquirer. This is the " Century
War Book," a work which has attained
the reputation of being the most ac
curate, complete and artistically beau
tiful history of the war ever published.
W hen originally issued several years
ago it sold at from $22 to $28, but
The Inquirer is offering it to its
readers in weekly parts at a merely
nominal cost each week. The text of
the work is made up of contributions
written by all the great participants in
the war on both sides, including Grant,
Sherman, McClellan, Longstrect,
Johnston, Hill, Howard. Beauregard,
Buell, Kirby Smith, Law, McMahon,
Fitz John Porter, Burnside, Rosecrans,
Sickles, Cox, Lew Wallace, Imboden,
Pope, Horace Porter, Early, Pleason
ton, Fry and many other leaders.
The main feature, however, is em
braced in the portraits, illustrations
and maps, over 900 in number, a'l ex
ecuted in the highest artistic style,
and man of them made from rare
war-time originals. The descriptions
of all the great battles are written by
the leading Generals who fought them,
and fully illustrated, very often by
sketches made at the time. The paper
and print are superb and fully in keep
ing with the usual work of the Centu
ry Company, which publishes the
work. '
This superb history is published in
twenty parts, and The Philadelphia
Inquirer has just begun the distribu
tion, it being the intention to give out
one part each week until the series is
completed. To obtain this valuable
woik all that is necessary is to cut out
a coupon from The Inquirer and
send it together with ten cents to The
Inquirer Coupon Department, 11 09
Market street, Philadelphia.
Many rise in the morning with a
headache and no inclination for break
fast. This is due to torpidity of the
liver and a deranged condition of the
stomach To restore healthy action to
these organs, nothing is so efficacious
as an occasional dose of Ayer s Pills.

The advertising agency of N. V.
Aver & Son, of Philadelphia, is un
questionably the largest and probably
the best equipped of any in the United
States. It has more and larger patrons
than any other, and, taking one thing
with another, it is questionable whether
thev are not entitled to the credit ot
securing for their patrons better serv
ice than can be counted on from any
other. It should be, and doubtless is,
a great source of pride and satisfaction
to Mr. Ayer and Mr. McKinncy that
thev have been able, while remaining
in Philadelphia, to build up a larger
advertising business than has ever
been secured before by any advertis
ing agency in New York or e'sewhire.

In all di eises of the nasal mucous
membrane the remedy used must be
non-irritating. Nothing satisfactory
can be accomplished with douches,
snuffs, powdcis or astringents, because
they are irritating, do not thoroughly
reach ti e affected iui faces and should
be abandoned as worse than failures.
