A Costly Congress, Despite the efforts of Speaker Tom Reed and others to make it appear that the present Contrress is an eco nomical one, facts are coming to light which show that it is going to be an other billion dollar Congress. Representative Cannon said in the House Monday that the aggregate ap propriations during this session would be about $506,000,000. This is the record to be made, according to the Chairman of the Committee on Ap propriations, in the first session, when in view of the Presidential election, everything is beinrr cut down to the lowest, and in many instances only sufficient is being appropriated to carry on the work of the government for eight months, instead of for the lull twelve. What the figures will be for the next session when the election is over and the brakes are taken off, and when provision will have to be made for sixteen months instead of twelve, no one can foretell, but the Drosnects are that they will bring the total for tne two sessions up to such a figure as to make the appropriations of the first billion dollar Congress seem eco nomical by comparison. Chairman Cannon frankly declared that the appropriations for all contract work on rivers and harbors, and on public buildings were only intended to meet expenditures until March 4th of the next year, when the next session of Congress would expire, and by which date the next Sundry Civil bill would become a law. He contended that this was the proper and logical way in which to make aDDronriations of this character. Representative McMillan pointed out that this did not, in fact, diminish appropriations, but only seemed to do so, in order to make a record fnr thi Republican Congress to bridge it over until after the Presidential election.

The engagement of Gertrude Vanderbilt and Harry I'nyno Whitney is now admitted by nil their friends. As Miss Vanderbilt is th r daughter of Cornelius Vanderbilt and therefore prospec tive heiress to one-fourth of About $ 103,000, Ooo, and as Harry Payne Whitncv is the only son of cx-Sonator William C. Whitney and prospective heir to one-half of the Pnyne Whitney millions, this engagement glitters and gleams afar. Women to Got Even Will Have Introduced a Bill By Which Men Are to be Snubbed. Several prominent women of Cincinnati have decided upon a plan of "getting even" for the passage of the "Fosdick ami-high hat lull." One of them said: "We will avenge ourselves by introducing a bill in the Ohio legislature by which the men will be subjected to as big a snub as the women were. 1 he bill will be drawn up in a few days, with the same provisions and fines to be inflicted upon theatre goers anil managers as provided for in the Fosdick bill for each person found leaving his seat during an intermission at the theatre or found spitting tobacco ju'ce on the floor. I don't know that it will be pass ed, but nevertheless it will be introduced." Arbitrators settled the Pittsburg painters' grievances and they agreed to work a year at $2.75 for a nine hour day. Ex-rresident Harrison, was married to Mrs. Dimmick at St. Thomas' church in New York City last Monday evening at 6 o'clock.

Truly, it is not what we say, but what Hood's Sursapurilla docs, that tells the story. Just read the voluntary statement of Mr. Owen: " For six or seven years ot my life I did not live, I merely existed. I was in de plorable condition, Buffering from a com plication of evils. I was eo costive that week, or sometimes two weeks, would pass without a movement ot the bowels. I bad no appetite. Had become bo that I was scarcely off the farm in six years. I even contemplated making an end to my miserable existence. " This is the stage where a man becomes disgusted with doctors and medicines of all kinds. If this should reach the eye of any such, it is written in the hope that Just such persons will read it, believe it and be benefited by it. A friend had half a bottle ot Hood's Barsaparilla, and per suaded me to take it, with some of Hood's Pills. I experienced so much benefit I took two bottles more, and, thank God, I am wed sound and well. I am 61 years of age, but feel thirty years younger. I truly believe Hood's Barsaparilla was sent as a means to beal my body. I cannot say too much for Hood's Sarsaparilla and Hood's Pills." J. W. Owen, Henderson, Mercer Co., Pa. N. B.
