From our lingular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, May 22, 1894.
The public received its first knowl
edge this week that in addition to
other more or less disreputable meth
ods of defeating tarift legislation at
tempts had been made to bribe Sena
tors to vote against the tariff bill, but
the Democr.uic managers of the tariff
bill have known for sometime that an
attempt had been made by a lobbyist
named Huttz, once a carpet-bag, Rep
ublican member of the House from
South Corolina, to bribe Senators
Hunton, of Virginia, and Kyle, of
South Dakota, to vote against the bill.
Butt claimed to represent a wealthy
syndicate which was prepared to spend
$1,000,000 to defeat the tariff bill.
He went to the house of Senator Hunt
on and told a son of that gentleman
that his father could have fas, 000 if
he would agree to vote against the
bill. Senator Hunton ar once informed
half a dozen Democratic Senators.
Jiultz had the audacity to broach the
subject to Mr. Kyle in person. That
gentleman referred him to his private
secretary, after instructing that func
tionary to have a witness to their con
versation, and in the presence of a
witness Huttz offered to give Mr. Kyle
$14,000 to vote against the bill. Mr.
Kyle at once placed these facts in the
hands of the Democratic Senators and
expressed his willingness to aid in
bringing liiis would-be briber to jus
tice. It has not yet been decided what,
if any, action wi'l be taken by the
Senate, but tiiere is little doubt that
these attempts will hasten the passage
of the tariff bill.
Secretary Hoke Smith has added
to his popularity with Georgians by
the help he has given the delegation
from All una, here this week to work
up Congressional interest in the In
ternational Exposition to be held at
Atlanta in the fall of 1895. Tliey do
not want a government appropriation
for the exposition, but only ask that
Congress recognize it to the extent of
authorizing a government exhibit in
a building to be erected by the gov
ernment. This recognition is necessary
if foreign governments are to be re
presented at the exhibition. Speaker
Crisp and the entire Georgia delega
tion in Congress are working like
beavers to secure what is wanted, and
the Speaker, before going home to
attend his mother-in-law's funeral,
placed his room at the Capitol at the
disposal of the visitors and it is being
used as their headquarters.
It is now easy to understand why
tins government took such strong
grounds in favor of the government of
Brazil and against the insurgents, al
though it was only this week that it
became si. From information that
has leaked out through gossip in
diplomatic circles there is little doubt
that the stand taken and maintained
by President Cleveland during the
Brazilian contest was the only thin;
that prevented the carrying out of the
plot instigated and backed by the
government of Great Britain for the
overthrow of the Brazilian republic
and the setting up of a monarchy that
would have been dominated by Great
Britain. President Cleveland and
Secretary Gresham were conversant
with the plot from its beginning and
were determined to thwart it. The
failuie of that plot is believed to have
been at the bottom of the dilatoriness
of the British government in making
arrangements to carry out the Behring
Sea arbitration. The Britishers were
mad at Uncle Sam for spoiling their
little grab game.
Representative Hatch, of Missouri,
is no longer a young man, having
passed his sixtieth milestone last Sep
tember, but his courage is just as
young as it ever was, and when ac
cused by Representative Hopkins, A
Illinois, of trying to juggle an increase
of sa'ary for a friend into the Agri
cultural appropriation bill, whxii is
in his charge, he said, shaking his
nst si nincantly at Hopkins: " If the
gentleman from Illinois means that
word in its ordinary English signifi
cance, I want to tell him that if he
should use it to me outside of this
chamber, I would ram it down his
throat."
Retrenchment in Government ex
penditures has been the watchword of
the Democrats who have niade the
regular appropriation bills for this
Congress j and the Legislative, Execu
tive and Judicial appropriation bill,
completed by the House committee
on appropriations this week, shows
now well they have worked up to the
watchword. This is the bill that carries
salaries of all officials, and 55S fewer
"i uu'in are provided for than were in
the bill fjr thn rnrrenr fiscal vear.
It also rariiea $766,199 less than this
ji-irs appropriation, a very substantial
reduction when everything is takn
"'"J consideration.
nisimre lends enchantment to
the view." Since Coxev moved his

IN THE LAND OF GOLD.
Panoramic Views ot the California Mid-winter
txposition.
Not before, since the excitemr-nr
following the discovery of gold by
John Marshall, at Suiter's Mill, in
1 848, has there been such a rush of
people to California j not in pursuit
of gold, however, but by perso- s who
desire to see the magnificent, the
worm surprising displays at the Mid
winter Fair. But while thousands arc
visiting the Fair, hundreds of thousands
are unable, for various reasons, to
gratify their longings to attend that
splendid exposition. This commenda-
ole, but unappeased, ambition may,
nevertheless, be gratified by all the
readers of the Colijmuian, who will
take the trouble to secure Parts 17
and 18 of Magic City," which we
are now distributing at a price that
barely covers the expense of producing
them. These two concluding parts of
our splendid World's Exposition Port
folios contain no less than forly views
of the fine buildings and attractions
of the Mid-winter Fair, including
among the collection also pictures of
the reproduced life in California,
during the days of the gold excite
ment, as it was shown at the Fair.
Among these characteristic views are
photographs of gambling places, sa
loons, theatres, a mining camp, wash
ing and panning for gold, Mount
Shasta, free and-easies, dance houses
the fandango, toll house, stage drivers,
and indeed all the wonderful life on
the coast in 1849-50. This is the
greatest feature of the Mid-winter
I' air, and photographs in parts 17 and
18 of " Magic City " will show them
almost as satisfactorily as the reality.
But besides these there are pictures
of all the other leading attractions
and displays, enabling those who
secure these parts to see the Fair
with a degree of satisfaction almost
equal to a personal attendance.
Our distribution of the " Magic
City " series has been a magnificent
success, not alona from a standpoint
of the extent of circulation, but be
cause it has been so thoroughly ap
preciated by everyone who has se
cured the series. We feel a pleasure
in the fact that of the many World's
lair Portfolios handled by other
papers none have been so complete,
so beautiful, so meritorious in every
respect as the " Magic City. Our
patrons are thus convinced that they
can rely upon us to scve them faith
fully, and to give them every advan
tage that is possible for us to secure j
that we do not misrepresent or attempt
to deceive ; that every claim we have
made as to the infinite superiority of
"Magic City" over all other similar
publications has been verified by
every person who has compared them.
The seiies close with No. 18, now
ready for delivery. Those who have
neglected to obtain the parts as issued
have still a chance to secure them,
but the opportunity will last for only
a short while. We will supply the
entire eighteen parts for one coupon
and ten cents for each part.

Missions.
The fifth convention of the Christian
Endeavor Societies of Montour and
Columbia counties was held in Cata
wissa Reformed church on Friday,
May 11. One bundled nine delegates
registered, representing fifteen focie
ties, and the sessions, both afternoon
and evening, were interesting and well
attended. The congregational singing,
under the direction of Dr. Graydon.was
inspiring, and the exercises throughout
were rendered interesting and often
impressive by the vocal selections of
the Misses Dechant and Stroh and
Dr. and Mrs. Grajdon. Several welt
rendered selections by the orchestra of
the Bloomsburg Lutheran church dur
ing the evening session and the recep
tion were much appreciated.
The afteruoon session opened with
devotional exeicises conducted by
Miss Sue L. Dechant of Catawissa.
Then came an eloquent address of
welcome by Rev. R. K. Butz and the
response, full ol practical thought and
suggestion, by Pres. Richardson, of
Berwick.
Mr. B. F. Armstrong, General Secre
tary of the Bloomsburg Y. ,Vi. C. A.,
by clear statement and apt illustration,
showed the essential importance ot
Bible study. Christian growth must be
from the centre out, like the building
of the temple first the altar, repre
senting communion with God, as we
attain it in the study of His word j
then the construction of the temple
building, representing active service ;
and, lastly, the wa'ls surrounding the
temple, or separation from the world.
In order to work efficiently in building
the spiritual temple, we must first have
Bible study.
The program provided next for a
conference on the C. K. Prayer mect
irg under two heads. The first, Hew
t j Prepare for it, was opened by Rev.
C. M. Aurand.of Berwick. lie thought
the leader should first acqu.iint him
se'f thoroughly with the subject, make
brief remarks himself and ask before
hand a few others to prepare short
talks. He should select and assign to
members several texts and readings
relating to the subject. The audience
should come in a spiritual frame of
mind, bring Bibles with them, and be
accustomed to finding texts quickly.
The second division of the subject,
How to Conduct the Prayer-meeting,
was opened by Miss Dora Breece, of
Bloomsburg, with an excellent paper
in which she suggested that the leader
shoj!d know in advance that he is to
lead the meeting, so that he may have
time for prayer over and study of the
subject. He should have a plan in
view for conducting the meeting, but
no stereotyped form, fully depending
on the Holy Spirit, and yielding to
Him the real leadership, thinking the
while. " This is Thy meeting ; use lhy
servant as Thou seest best." The lead
er should show by his manner that he
is enthused with the subject, nave
much singing. Aim to have each mem
ber take part. All prayer should be
voluntary on the part of members, and
do not undertake to have a prayer-
meeting without prayer. The discuss
ion of this topic emphasized the im
portance of avoiding a rut by getting
up something new tor each prayer
meeting. Rev. P. A. Heilman, of Bloomsburg,
gave a very helpful address on the C.
E. Pledge. Since God has given us so
many thousand promises we should be
willing to give Him the few named in
our pledge. If we love the Word we
will, enjoy reading it. God never wear
ies of our prayers, no matter how oft'
repeated.
The nominating committee named
the following, who were unanimously
elected office's for the ensuing year ;
Pres. , T. D. Howery, Danville : V. P.,
Horace Breece, Berwick ; Sec'y, Miss
Sue L. Dechant, Catawissa; lrcas.
Chas. E. Kesty, Bloomsburg. The re
commendation of the committee, that
silver and moss green be selected for
the streamer to represent our union
on the state colors, was also approved
and Misses Breece and Boenrief were
appointed a committee to obtain them.
The roll call ot the union was res
ponded to by fifteen societies with in
terestinu reno.ts of work done and
progress made the last six months
The successful session of the after
noon closed with the benediction by
Rev. G. B. Dechant.
For the evening session the church
was crowded, many standing and
others going away unable to obtain ad
mission. After an excellent praise sev
vice, conducted by Dr. liraydon, in
his usual efficient manner, Rev. J. I
Good of Reading delivered the address
of the evening, urging upon the socie
lies higher aims, nobler motives, great
er Kniritualitv. Christian hndeavor is
helpful to the church in that it gives
every one something to do, prompts
to good thoughts and service, develops
the spiritual, putting that in advance
of the Worldly, and induces prompt
ness, a very important nauu in mis
a;;e, in the church as well iu in worldly
affairs. Christian Endeavor prompts
submission, self surrender. When we
sm render to God we gain victory over
God and ourselves. His will becomes
our will. The motive at the bottom of

the pledge i3 self submission. You
agree to do certain things which re
quire self denial, consecration, unself
ing self. Paul very frequently calls
himself the servant, or slave, of Jesus
Christ. Christian Endeavor builds us
up on our weakest side, which is npt
to be our passion side. It is harder to
bear than do to forbear that bear.
Christian Endeavor not only empties
the heart of sin, but fills it with Christ;
for God's spirit, like nature, abhors a
vacuum. The audience showed their
deep interest by giving the closest at
tention throughout the lecture.
The bi-county secretary called at
tention to the prize banners hanging
in view of the audience, which had
been won by Pennsylvania at the in
ternational convention held in Mon
treal last July. The one was a badge
banner, representing over two hun
dred different societies, and was won
by Pennsylvania the second time for
having organized the greatest number
of new societies during the previous
year. The other banner was given to
the state whose delegates traveled the
greatest aggregate number of miles in
going to the international convention.
The names of eleven new societies
have been reported since our conven
tion at Orangeville last October. We
now have m our bi county union
twenty nine societies with a member
ship of about 1,300, divided denom
inationally as follows ; 2 Union Socie
ties, 3 Baptist, 3 Lutheran, 5 Presby
terian, 7 Evangelical, and 9 Reformed.
These societies have raised since
April 1 , 1893 :
For Missions $263.71
" District Work 19.00
" Stale Work 13.71
" Other Objects 408.83
Total Contributions $705.25
The three societies reporting the
largest amount raised for missions are :
Berwick Presbyterian $130.00
Bloomsburg Lutheran 44.00
Bloomsburg Baptist 30.00
The largest three contributions for
all objects were reported by these so
cieties.
Bloomsburg Presbyterian. . . . $243.41
Berwick Presbyterian 185.82
Bloomsburg Lutheran IJ3-25
Since April 1 , 1893, sixty-four as
sociate members have joined the
church. We have four Junior Societies
in Bloomsburg and one in Berwick,
with a total membership of 187. By
motion the sacretary was directed to
have an abstract of his encouraging
report printed in the papers of the two
counties.

Pennsylvania German Celebrations.
The programme for the big Penn
sylvania German celebration at Mt.
Gretna, on July 20, has been complet
ed. There will be a lecture on German
contributions to education in America
and Dr. S. A. Baer, of Reading, will
discuss the Pennsylvania Germans.
There will also be a general discussion
of the question of bringing the impor
tance of Pennsylvania's historical pos
ition to the pupil's attention.
Farmers are not over boastful of
the peach and cherry prospects this
year. Peaches have for years been un
reliable in this latitude, but we fancy
the farmer has not been watchful
enough of the modern enemies of
peaches, since they are attacked both
through the soil and through the
atmosphere these days. So far as
blossoms indicate it, we should say
nil fruits are promising this year ; but
they are subject of course to the in
fluential elements in the hands of God
alone.

Serious Rosnlt of Slcoplwiness, and
the Way to Avoid It.
(amoiAL to ors tint reader..
If you aro dangerously sick, what U the
first duty of your physician? He' quiets
frightened nervous sys
tem, he deadens the pain,
and you sleep well.
Men fall by tho
wayside, victims of
over-strained mental
activity.
Friends ask, "What
is It?" and the an
swer comes in pitying
tones, nervous pros
tration. Thousands of wo
men tremble on the
brink of the same
precipice.
A little 'more pressure; some sudden
grief, real or even Imagined unkindness
from loved ones, and over the brink fall
one more victim of nervous prostration.
It came upon you so quietly, in the be
ginning, that you were not alarmed. But
when sleep deserted you night after night,
until your eyes fairly burned the darkness,
then you tossed in nervous agony, praying
for sleep.
You ought to have known when you
ceased to be regular in your eonrses, and
you grew so irritable without cause, that
there was serious trouble noiiipwhere.
You ought to be told that Indigestion,
exhaustion, womb'displacenients, fainting,
dizziness, and backache send tho nerves
wild with affright, and you rannot sleep.
Want of sleep gives birth to a thousand
morbid fancies of the brain.
