.4 WASHINGTON. From our R. iril.tr Correspondent. Washington, July is, 1895. Secretary Herbert finds himself so busy with the plans for building the battle ships and torpedo boats authori sed by the last Congress, and other important business, that he has been compelled to postpone his vacation for a time. He hopes to have things in such shape that he can leave about the last of the month. Everybody is laughing at the Spanish minister, who has been sent on a fool's errand by his government. He has gone to Secretary Olney's summer residence, in Massachusetts, to ask an explanation and an official statement concerning that silly fake purporting to be an interview with Ambassador Eustis, which was pub lished in a Paris paper early this week and cabled to this country, and which was promptly followed by a denial from Ambassador Eustis. No denial was needed. Everybody knew that the thing was a fake, but the Spanish government seems to have taken it seriously, or, it is so pretending for some purpose of its own. Secretary Olney will dispose of the Spanish minister and his silly request in short order. According to Col. Harvey, of the New York World's editorial staff, who is in Washington, "Teddy" Roose velt has given Tammany a "cinch " on the next municipal election, by his strict enforcement of the excise law. Col. Harvey said: "The result will be far-reaching in a political way, and will beyond doubt damage the republi cans materially in New York City. I have no idea that they will be able to elect a single Assemblyman or Sena tor from ilie city or from Brooklyn this fall. Every Tammany candidate will win. People who live at a dis tance can't begin to appreciate the local feeling that has been aroused by this affair, and it is not a feeling that will die away in a little while. The admini; 'ration has gone too far now to recede ; it must carry out its po licy, ana the more rigidly that policy is adhered to the more certain and sweeping will be the victory of the democnts." Evidently Mr. Benjamin Harrison is becoming frightened at the ham mering McKinley is getting at the hands of the friends of the other can didates, as a result of his efforts to keep himself prominently before his party as a Presidential candidate. Mr. Hairison is tender and he never liked hammering, so he has adopted another course. It has been said before, but fearing that it might have been forgot ten, he arranged to have Mr. John W. Foster, who was once charged with being Mr. Harrison's spy upon Secretary Blaine, and who became Secretary of State himself when Mr. Blaine retired from the Harrison ad ministration, to say again that he was not a candidate ; was doing nothing to get the nomination, but would not, of course, decline should the party insist upon nominating him. These statements are absurd, and they fool nobody. Attorney General Harmon isn't satisfied with the decision against the government in the suit against the Stanford estate, and he this week di rected the U. S. District Attorney at San I'rancUco to appeal the case to the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Pacific Coast district. It is no violation of confidence to add that should the Court of Appeals decide against the government the case will be carried to the U. S. Supreme Court. This suit, which is for $15, o6o,coo, is only against the Stanford estate, but if the government wins the estates of all of Stanford's Pacific railroad associates who, like him, be came rich by their manipulations of a company that has always pleaded its inability to repav money loaned it by the U. S. government, will have to disgorge to the amount of their stock holdings in theroad, if to no further extent. The White House mail gives evi dence of the rapidity with which the news of the birth of President Cleve land's third baby has been disseminat ed, but it also gives evidence of the careless manner in which many peo pie read the news. It would be natur al to suppose that every man, woman and child who reads the newspapers knows that President Cleveland and his wife and children are at their sum mer residence, Gray Gables, on Buz zard's Bay. Well, there are thousands who have read or heard of the birth of that third girl who believe that the baby was born in the White House and that Mrs. Cleveland is there now, and everv mail brines hundreds of letters addressed to her at the White House. This is just as well, however, as there are more clerks at the White House to co over these letters and select such as are worthy of Mrs, Cleveland s attention than there are at Gray Gables. Still their coming to the White House is queer. A 6 COD SUGGESTION. Rochester, N. Y. John Davis of this citv. took a severe cola anil sut fered pain through the back and kid neys. His physician pronounced his case gravel, and failed to help him Dr. David Kennedy's I'avorite Rernc dy was recommended, and after taking two bottles he was cured. It has never failed in gravel or urinary troubles. Jt TOMMY AND HIS AUNT MARY DISCUSS TEE FOURTH. Did you ever hear about the dis pute Thomas Jefferson and Charles Carroll of Carrollton had when they came to write and sign the Declara tion of Independence ?" "No," said Tommy, wondering what his aunt would say next. " They had quite a little tiff. Jeffer son, you see, wanted to have it writ ten on a typewriter, and " " But, Aunt, the typewriter wasn't invented then." "That's just what Charles Carroll of Carrollton told him. But Jefferson insisted on calling in the janitor, and having it invented while they waited. Posterity can never read my hand writing, said Jefferson. , Besides, my fountain-pen won't work to day ; you know how it is with these fountain pens some days ink will shoot out of them like water out ot a garden nose, and other times you can't get it out with a cork screw.' " " Why didn't Charles Carroll of Carrollton tell Jefferson that fountain- pens weren t invented either f asked Tommy. " I don't think he knew it. A great many people then thought that foun tain-pens were invented. And then they talked a long time, and Thomas Jefferson tried to get Benjamin Frank lin to set it up in type and print it, but he said he had to go fishing with his kite that afternoon for electricity and so couldn t : and then the others sided in with Charles Carroll of Car rollton, and Jefferson had to write it after all, with a quill pen, and with sand to dry the ink w.th instead of blotting-paper, because the man who had promised to invent blotting-paper had joined the army and gone off to fight the British. So you see, Tommy, the men that wrote and sign ed the Declaration of Independence had their troubles. But you ought to be thankful that they did it in July instead of January." Tommy thought a moment, and then said, " Yes, I am ; but if they'd done it about six weeks earlier it would have given us a holiday while there was school, and I think that's a pretty good time for holidays." From Harpers Hound Table. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro nounced it a local disease, and pre scribed local remedies, and by con stantly failing to cure with local treat ment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitu tional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure 011 the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts direct ly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hund red dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, F. J.

CLAFLIN. It was said by an excellent Divine " That though many discoveries have been made in the world of self-love, there is yet abundance of 4 terra in cognita' left behind. It has pleased men to arrogate to themselves nearly the whole of human courage and to regard women as very timid and cowardly creatures when compared with themselves. Now we do not deny that some women occasionally have little affectations which give a colour to this opinion. These are scared at meeting harmless cows or oxen, as though they were ferocious bulls. They jump in terror on a chair at the sight of a mouse. All these, however, are errors of education, jut as boys are taught from the cradle to despise girls for their supposed want of bravery, and grow to manhood with out seeing their mistake. Yet Mande ville in his " Search into the Nature of Society," avers that " Man, as he is a fearful animal, naturally not rapaci ous, loves Peace and Quiet, and he would never Fight, if nobody offended ed him, and he could have what he fights for without it." This may be true of man as a savage. But civiliza tion gives so much skill and dissipates so many errors and terrors, that men have learnt to be quarrelsome, coura geous. and self reliant. It would be natural to suppose the mothers and sisters of brave men would be brave also. We look for cognate qualities in both sexes of other animals, and are not disappointed. Why should mankind be an exception ? Wny should it be imagined that men have all the courage and women a monopoly of timidity ? Simply because of men's stupendous self conceit the majority have never Riven the subject a rational thought. They have excluded women from their own favourite fields for the display of bravery, and then pride themselves upon their vast superiority. But, whenever women have had equal opportunities, they have proved them selves no despicable competitors with men in physical courage, and far ahead of them in moral fearlessness. At a time like the present, when public attention is largely drawn to a comparative view of the qualities of both sexes, it may be profitable to draw attention to the bravery of women. We do not desire to under value the conspicuous valour of men. On the contrary, we are proud to recognise it to the full. We only wish to point out that women are capable of the same great quality to a profita ble degree, and that, therefore, it should be encouraged in them as well as in men. If the men refuse, let women exhort each other. No one can doubt that moral cour age is superior to physical. Men exceed in the latter, women in the former, and it is not desirable that this should be altered even were it possible. Yet it would add to the dignity of both if men were stronger morally and women physically. A modern historian says, " Moral and rational faculties may alike be dormant, and they will certainly be so if men are wholly immersed in the gratification of their senses. Man is like a plant, which requires a favora ble soil for the full expansion of its natural or innate powers." If men had been shut out, as women have, from the exercise of their physical faculties, is it certain they would have developed excess of physical powers ? Notwithstanding her social dis advantages in this respect, woman has made her mark in the annals of bravery. History affords numerous examples of great heroines, many of them too, at a time when her general position was th at cf a slave, but we can only note a few. Leaono of Attica bore the severest torture with out a word. lelesilla, the poetess, made the Argolic women fearless of death, and discomfited the Spartans. Theodora saved the Eastern Empire. Artemisia drank the ashes of her consort. Camilla, Queen of the Vol scians, was slain fighting at the head of her troops. Boadicea encountered the veterans of Rome. The Maul of Orleans drove the English from France. Arria stabbed herself to encourage her husband to die. " See, it does not hurt, dear Pactus," she said. The tales ot martyrdom are fertile of heroic women. Young maidens met the most horrible deaths with placid con tempt, if not with vehement joy. No fiendish tortures that devils could devise were able to shake the fortitude of numberless brave women. Whether under Nero or the Bishops, under the Inquisition or the Trench Revolution aries, it was noted with surprise and admiration that the women died more bravely than the men. With what grace and calmness, and infinite tender ness for others, did Anne Boleyn and Mary of Scotland lay their fair necks upon the block. Even the fearless Raleigh suffers by comparison, for their qt.eenly dignity excelled his half jocular carelessness. When we come to physical self- sacrifice, to giving ones lite to save the most dear to 113, women stand al most alone. Whether to r.nck a poi soned wound, or to intervene and re ceive the assassin's dagger, or to nurse the wounded in the midst of battle, Children Cry for PJtcher'o Caetoria. or to watch by the couch of pestilence and death, or to commit suicide to save their own and their husbands honour, they have acted without a parallel on the pait of men. Woman's love is strongei than her fears, and there is no sacrifice which she will not cheer fully make for him who sways her heart. What she does by impulse man feebly tries to do by calculation. But it is in moral courage that wo man shines, just as trie greater strength and training of man makes him physically superior, so the moral strength and training of woman makes him morally her inferior. In loyalty, truthfu'ness, chastity, fidelity, pity, sobriety, honesty, and general perse verance in well doing, she is immeasur ably above him. This has been notic ed by great writers in every age, and it would not be difficult to discover why she is so much man's tno'al superior. Mandevtlle thought it was becouse her brain was more accurate ly balanced. We think, however, that it is laigely owing to a higher standard of moral conduct having been constantly demanded from her from remotest times. But she mast insist upon fnrther physical advance ment, and man should look to his morals, that sexual harmony may re sult. It is no wonder that the cowards and narrow hearted among the men are bitterly oppo sed to the " New Woman." They are "the rod of empire slipping trom their grasp, and feel that their brute force and cunning cannot save them. Women are already men s moral superior?, and are fast bjcoming their intellect ual squals. Their physique is improv ing more rapidly than the men's. Altogether, the outlook assures us ol sexual equality at no far distant date. Whenever it arrives, it will cive a universal impetus to progress, and mark a new and happier era for hu manity, for Right, not Might, will govern, and the worthiest wear the crown. I he brave women of the past and present will then be revered as the daring pioneers in the discovery of a New Heaven and a New Earth.

In New York City there are about 600 venders of sawdust, having a capi tal of $200,000 invested and doing a business of $2,000,000 annually. Forty years ago the mills were glad to have the sawdust carted away ; twenty- five years ago it could be bought for fifty cents a load ; now it brings $3.50 a load at the mills. It is used in hotels, eating-houses, groceries and other Dusiness places. It is wet and spread over floors in order to make the sweeping cleaner work. Plumbers use it a great deal about pipes and buildings to deaden the walls and floors. Soda water men and packers of glass and small articles of every kind use it and dolls are stuffed with it. Yellowpine makes the best saw dust, as it is the least dusty and has a purgent, healthy smell. But any light wood will do. B'ack walnut sawdust will not sell, and is burned.

Usa it in Time. Catarrh starts in the nasal passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat, and is in fact, the great enemy of the mucous membrane. Neglected colds in the head almost invariably precede ca tarrh, causing an excessive flow of mucous, and if the mucous discharge becomes interrupted the disagreeable results of catarrh will follow, such as bad breath, severe pain across fore head and about the eyes, a roaring and buzzing sound in the ears and often times a very offensive discharge.
