IHE SENATE WILL TAKE SOME ACIIOK
"WASHlifOTOlf, April 25. The Senate
has made public the correspondence that
passed between the Secretary of State,
members of Congress and those American
diplomats who are teelrfng to hare their
salaries increased and to raise the title o(
the officials in some cases from Minister to
Ambassador "In view ot the appeals made
to him from the public officials direct, and
also through the State Department, Mr.
Sherman has introduced the necessary
amendments to the consular and diplomatic
appropriation bill.
His amendments propose to increase the
salary of toe Minister to Turkey to $1C.OOO;
that of the Minister to Greece, Boumania
end Serna to $7,500; that of the Minister
Resident to Denmark to the same figure,
and raises the ministers to France, Ger
many, Kussia and Great Britain to the rank
of Ambassadors, but leaTing Their salary at
517,600, as at preient The correspondence
on the subject is very interesting, and brings
out clearly the diSerent standpoints from
which men look at things before and alter
being appointed to public office.
ZAGEB FOB AX OFFICE.
Many persons will remember how persist
ently the Hon. Clark E. Carr, of Galesburg,
SI., pursued the Harrison administration
as soon as it came into power lor some recog
nition of his gallant services as a stump or
ator. Mr. Carr's friends worked early and
late to get him a prominent place,
ana lor me nrsi tnree montbs o
the administration he was named
for almost every place, from a Cabinet office
down to the head of a bureau. Finally, Mr.
Carr was made happy, and the administra
tion relieved of a heavy burden, by the ap
pointment of the so-called silver-tongued
orator from Illinois to be Minister Resident
to Denmark.
Mr. Carr has already discovered that the
salary ot his office is not sufficient to sur
round him with all the dignities and lux
uries due to a representative of the United
States, and he eloquently pleads for a raise.
The published correspondence shows that he
rot several touching letters to various
friends in 'Washington whom he thought
would be of service to him, and these ap
peals have borne lruit in the proposed
amendment of Mr. Sherman to raise his
salary to 57,500. One letter, descriptive of
the lamentable manner in which the United
States neglects its diplomats, Mr. Carr wrote
to Representative Grout, of Vermont, in
which he angles with a tempting bait for the
support of Mr. Edmunds. In this letter
Mr. Carr says:
THE OKLT DEATVBACK.
The position I hold here is, in many ways,
Tery agreeable, and now that I am here and
located with my family I want to remain, and I
want to live and do my duty in a manner
worthy of a representative of my country. The
great drawback is that the salary Is so small
85,000 a year. You no doubt realize how
meager such a salary is for a member of Con
gress, but I assure you it is mnre meager
for a Minister at this court. The salary
was formerly S7.5Q0, but for some unexplain
able reason it was cut down to 5,000. Alv
predecessor here, a Democrat, the last thing
before he left wrote an official dispatch to the
Secretary of State urgently recommending
that the mission be raised from Mumter Resi
dent, which it now is, to Minister Plenipo
tentiary, and that the salary be raised to 7,500.
He sent this dispatch, which is on file at the
Department ot State, when retiring from office
PUSH
FOR QUALITY, QUANTITY AND LOW PRICES
In Men's Clothing,
KAUFM
RECOGNIZE NO COMPETITION.
A liberal percentage of our fine Clothing is cut and made in our own
Custom Department. We'd be pleased to have you visit this place,
that you may see how systematically and gracefully these excel
lent garments of ours are cut, what fine trimmings we use,
and how excellent and perfect the workmanship. It is
hardly necessary to say that clothing made as ours
stands on a higher footing than the stuff that's
cut out a dozen garments at a strokes
with a huge knife. Don't compare
such machine-made trash with
ours. So much for the quality
of our garments; now a
few words as to their
prices. We now
show about
5,000 MEN'S SUITS
At $5, $6, $7, $8, $9 and $10.
They would probably not please a Dude or Anglomaniac, but are
just the right thing for any economical man who wants a good, nobby
Spring Suit for little money. Suits of same quality retail elsewhere at
from 15 to 25 per cent more money.
4.500 MEN'S SUITS
At $12, $14, $15, $16 and $18.
These Suits are suitable for Business and Professional Men. They
are made of strictly All-Wool, Domestic and Imported Cassimeres,
Cheviots, Worsteds, Wide Wales and Diagonals, in the verv latest and
most popular patterns, and are cut in Sack, Cutaway, Frock and Prince
Albert styles.
4,000 MEN'S SUITS
At $20, $22, $24, 25 and $27.
These are the Suits above referred to as having been made in our
Custom Tailoring Department. They're as fine and perfect as Clothing
can be made. Merchant tailors may and do ask you double and treble
these prices, but they can't give you garments a whit finer, better or
more fashionable.
and when he could have no interest in the mat
ter. Now, 1 have written to my friend. Mr. Hitt,
Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee
of the House, and to some other friends. It
occurs to me that perhaps you may be able and
willing to interest Senator Edmunds (who is a
member of this committee in the Senate) in
the matter. I know that Senator Edmunds is
not the man to favor any measure that is not
just and proper, but I believe that be is readr
and willing to be just when his attention is
called to a-sabiect. I have not thehonor (and it
would be a great honor) to be acquainted
with him, though I have followed lit m from
afar aud lead him for many years. He will, I
think, when be considers the duties and claims
upon a minister at this court, to which come
every year so many sovereigns and princes
with their retinues, be of the opinion that the
salary of the minister is not equally and fairly
adjusted as compared with the salaries of other
ministers. Perhaps you may be able to help
me also in some other way. I speak especially
of Senator Edmonds because you are so near
to him, and because I bave so great regard for
and confidence in his wisdom and justice.
SOME PLAUSIBLE AEGUSIENTS.
I have taken a house and am living with my
family as becomes the representative of the
United States, and I intend to so Iivo while 1
stay. I want to return the hospitality I am re
ceiving every day, and intend to do so as long
as I can possibly afford it; but I hope and be
lieve that it the matter be properly laid before
the committees Congress will restore the salary
to the amount formerly paid. My predecessor
lived here during most ot bis term alone in a
small apartment, having his family at home in
Wisconsin. I do not think that is the desire
nor the intention of our Representatives in
Congress to bave their Ministers live in
this ay, and. therefore, it seems to me that
you can properly and with a good conscience
lay the matter before Senator Edmunds and
your other friends in Congress. As to the mat
ter of raising the rank to Minister Plenipoten
tiary and Envoy Extraordinary, I care less
about this; but it ought to be done, because all
the other Ministers at this court the English,
Russian, Swedish, German, Austrian, Italian
are Ministers Plenipotentiary; all rank the
American Minister. Though the questions of
respect for and the influence of Ministers do
not entirely depend upon the matter of rank,
still it would be much easier and mare agree
able for me if I did not always rank lowesr,
I hope, my dear friend, that I am not asking
too much of you in requesting you to interest
yourself in these matters. 1 am very glad to
observe jour success in Congress, and hope
and believe that those estimable qualities
I recognized in you when we were boys at
school will always be appreciated by the good
people of the Green Mountain State, xour
old friend, Claek E. Uabb.
PLEASURE AND BUSINESS.
To Senator Farwell Mr. Carr adds plea
sure to business, and congratulates him on
the outcome of the fight for the "World's
Fair. Here is what Mr. Carr writes:
Private.
Legation of the Ukttkd States, J
Copenhagen, March IS, 1890. S
Dear Senator Faewell-The duties ot
the position I hold here are very agreeable, but
I find it extremely difficult upon the salary to
make both ends meet. It is scarcely necessary
for me to argue on this question with so able a
man of affairs as yourself. The salary was for
a long time $7,500. Why it should have been
'cut down to $5,000 1 cannot tell. Certainly we
here hare as much occasion to spend money as
do diplomats whose salaries are three times as
much, for more royalties comes here with their
retinues than to any other court. All this makes
society, and it one goes into society he must
return civilities, all of which involves expense.
I believe that if you would mention this to your
colleagues. Senators of both parties would at
once lavor restoring the salary here to sj.ouo.
My Democratic predecessor here, the last
thing before he left, sent an official dispatch to
the Secretary of State, recommending that the
salary be restored, and showing that in all jus
tice and fairness it should be.
Won't you look after the matter? I have
also written Senator CuUom, and shall write
other friends.
I want to live here as becomes the representa
tive of my country, returning ordinary civilities
and courtesies, but I don't think it fair that 1
should have to draw upon my private funds in
order to be able to do so. Hurrah for Chicago I
Very truly yours. Claek E. Carr.
NOT MAKIN O A COMPLAINT.
Minister Carr also wrotea letter on the sub
ject to Mr. Sherman, in which he pleads his
case much as he does with Messis. Groat and
Farwell, and concludes as follows:
Please, honored sir, do not look upon me as
making complaint, for I am not. I am pleased
with my residence here, and (with my family)
will try to live as becomes a representative of
our country, but I am confident that I can be
more useful if I can be placed in a position
where I will not be outranked by the represent

atives of smaller Governments, and where I will
not be too much out of pocket.
The .Senate will undoubtedly adopt the
amendments proposed by Senator Sherman,
and Mr. Carr and the other American dip
lomats abroad will be happy.
AFTER MORE GAS.
The Philadelphia Company Will Continue to
Drill All Summer.
Canonsbubg, April 26. The Philadel
phia Gas Company will push things here
this summer in a way that will bring great
results. This company will keep half a
dozen strings of tools running in this re
gion all summer. Most of the drilling will
be done in Canton township. In fact, Man
ager A. A. Bowe says it is absolutely neces
sary for his company to keep the drill going
in order to keep up the supply of gas.
Their well on the Andrews farm in Mount
Pleasant township is on top of the 50-foot at
a depth of 2,250 feet. The well in Canton
township is down 350 feet. Their Thomas
Shaw well, in Cbartiers township, is down
1,100 feet, and the Thomas Thompson is
down 450 feet.
DEVELOPING COAL FIELDS.
The Broad Top Region Boon to be Hade
ProdnetlTe.
Huntingdon, April 26. There is a
boom on for the Broad Top coal field just
now, as the change in the management of
the Huntingdon and Broad Top Bailroad
means a great deal to the people of that re
gion. The directors of that road have
elected S. M. Januey as President of the
company. Mr. Janney has been a director
of the company for years, and will pursue a
policy that will develop the valuable coal
fields of that region. These fields have lain
idle practically for a long time, but this
region will soon feel the impetus of the new
movement.

And Tried to Cnro Them bv on Overdose
of Morphine.
Canton, O., April 26. Charles Buch
man, a well known wealthy citizen of this
place, aged 65, attempted suicide this after
noon by taking 16 grains of morphine. This
large dose prevented a fatal issue, but he
says he still wants to die, and will try it
again. He says he has the blues, and has
been drinking of late to drive them off.

FLOODS IN TEXAS.
Within a Week a Foot of Rain Has Fallen
Deluging the Country, Sweeping
Away Bridges nnd Ball
ing the Hirers.
St. Louis, April 26. Additional advices
from Texas show that the great rainstorm
which has prevailed there during all of this
week, has covered nearly all the northern
and western sections of the State, reaching
out as far as Big Springs, on the Texas and
Pacific Bailroad, and almost into the Pan
handle in the northwest. Nearly a foot of
water has fallen since last Monday, and all
the rivers and smaller streams are at flood
height and the country is practically
inundated.
Five freight and a passenger train are
laid up at Colorado1 on the Texas and
Pacific on account of washouts'. The bridge
across Morgan creek islmpassable and the
track Jn Loton Valley is three feet under
water. A part of Abiline is flooded, the
creeks running through town having risen
over 20 feet, and people living in the low
bottoms were rescued with difficulty.
Trinity river rose 27 feet and is flooding
large section of country along its banks.
The Brazos river is also overflowed and do
ing great damage. The Peas river bridge,
near Vernon, on the Fort Worth and Den
ver road, is wrecked and 600 feet of its iron
spans and 12 bents of its trestle work ap
proaches have been swept down. At Over
brook, on the Topeka and Santa Fe, Indian
Territory, a large bridge was washed away,
and another at Marietta, on the same road,
has been carried down. Several hundred
feet of the approach to the Santa Fe bridge
across Bed river has been washed out and
other damage has been done to the road,
both north and south of Bed river.
A half-mile washout occurred on the Mis
souri, Kansas and Texas at Licdsey sta
tion, and a 90-foot bridge over Montague
creek was swept away. In fact, all the roads
in the northern and western parts of the
State have suffered from the washing out of
the track, culverts, bridges, embankments,
etc., and it will take several days to repair
damages. The Bed river, which is receiving
the largest part of the water that has fallen,
has become high, but so far there are no re
ports of serious damage by the overflow of
that stream. The rain has been the heaviest
ever known in Northern and Western Texas.

ANOTHER BREAT SUFFERER
Cured by the Catarrh Special
ists at 323 Penn Avenue.
frSS
jMSF
The above is a portrait of Mrs. Elizabeth
Bratt, who lives at Verner Station. The
catarrhal secretion that formed in her head and
dropped down into her throat, caused a severe
ulceration to set in. Her mouth, throat and
tongue became so sore, that she could not chew
her food, and was compelled to eat only soft
foods. She would often bave sharp pains m her
face, and a drink of cold water would cause the
most intense pain. As some of the catarrhal
poison extended to her lungs, she coughed
badly, her breath became short and she felt
much pain and soreness in her lungs. She had
a constant weak, tired feeling, and she often
felt so nervous that her whole body would ba
in a tremble. The food she ate would sour on
her stomach, and she felt a full, distressed feel
ing after eating. Her heart wonld often palpi
tate as if it would Jump out of her body. She
had much pain across the small of her back
and lower part of her body. Exposure to cold
air would cause her to take cold, and often for
a month at a time she would not dare to step
outside the door. Although doctoring all of
the time she gradually grow worse. She lost
much flesh, until she onlv weighed 93 pounds.
It was while in this condition that she began
treatment with the physicians of the Catarrh,
and Dyspepsia Institute, at 323 Penn avenue,
and became cured. She says: My disease
was of 12 years' standing, and my condition was
much worse than has ce6n described. I now
feel well and strong, as I did when I was a girl.
I have regained my flesh and am very dad to
testify to my cure, as above stated by these
specialists, blamed with ray own hand.
