"Washington, D. C., Jan.,11. The fifth
week of the session of the Senate opened
tamely and without the pendency of any
question to excite interest. There was a
fair attendance of Senators when the chap
lain offered prayer. After Thursday's
journal had been read the Vice President
laid before the Senate several official and
other documents, including a communica
tion from the Treasury Department as to
the sale of the United States Custom House
and postoffice site and building at Mil
waukee, and one from the Interior Depart
ment asking an appropriation of $150,000 as
a deficiency to supply subsistence to the
Sioux Indians.
Mr. Aldrieh presented the remonstrance
of the woolen manufacturers of New Eng
land against any agitation of the question
of the "duties on wool. It was ordered
printed as a document and referred to the
Finance Committee.
Mr. Perkins presented a communication
from Mr. Kyan, the American Minister to
Mexico, suggesting that it would be a gen
erous and neighborly act to return to
Mexico the trophies of war captured by
United States troops in the Mexican war
of 184". Mr. Perkins did not know, he
said, that he indorsed the expression. The
letter was referred to the Committee on
Foreign Relations.
Another Raft or New Bills.
A large number of bills were then re
ported from committees and placed on the
calendar. Among them were the follow
ing: To aid the States of Colorado and South
Dakota to sustain schools of mines.
For the erection of postoffice .buildings in
towns where the postoffice receipts exceed
$3,000 a year.
For a "public building at Mammoth Hot
Springs in the Yellowstone National Park.
Appropriating $60,000 for e public build
ing at Bradford, Pa.
Mr. Teller introduced a joint resolution
providing for an international bi-metallic
agreement.
Teller's ltl-Metsllic Resolution.
The joint resolution wa read. It de
clares it to be the determined policy of the
United States Government to use both cold
and silver as full legal tender money, either
under the rates now existing in the United
States or under one that may hereafter be
established iv the United States alone, or
in accord with other nations. It directs the
President to invite the Governments
of the countries comprising the Latin Union
(so called), and of such other nations as he
may deem advisable, to join the United
States in a conference and to adopt a com
mon ratio between gold and silver for the
purpose of establishing internationally the
use of bi-metallic money and of securing
fixity of relative values between those
metals.
Tne conference is to be held at such place
as may be mutually agreed upon by the
executives of the various governments.
"Whenever these governments, or any three
of them, shall have agreed to unite upon,
and whenever, in the judgment of the Pres
ident, a sufficient number of nations shall
have entered into such international agree
ment, the President is to declare the ratio
so fixed to be the existing ratio in the
United States, and all coinage thereafter is
to be at such ratio until changed by law.
rive Commissioners to Be Xamed.
The President is to appoint subject to
the approval of the Senate not less than j
three nor more than five commissioner's,
who shall report to him (whose report shall
be transmitted to Congress), and who shall
each receive $5,000 a year and reasonable
expenses. Mr. Teller said that he had on
the 11th of July last presented to the Sen
ate " and had referred to the Finance
Committee a similar resolution. It had
slumbered in that committee until the close
of the Fespion; and he was not over confi
dent that the prcent resolution would re
ceive any more attention. He believed in
an international agreement, if it could be
secured, but he did not intend to rest the
case entirely on an international agreement.
He was not prepared to surrender the ef
fort to secure free coinage and a full recog
nition of silver in this country until an in
ternational agreement could "be made. He
wished no one to misunderstand him oi
suppose that because he was in favor of a
bi-metallic asreement he believed that the
people of the United States should sit down
and fold their hands until such an agree
ment was made for he did not so believe.
Stewart anil the Bland Act.
Mr. Stewart submitted a statement in con
nection with the resolution which he had
oSered last week instructing the Judiciary
Committee to inquire what further legisla
tion was necessary to secure the coinage of
silver provided for under the Bland act.
Mr. Mitchell asked Mr. Stewart if he
was quite certain that the act of 1800 did
not repeal thst portion of the act of 1878
(the Bland act) which applied to the act of
afl837.
Mr. Stewart replied that it certainly did
not. It onlv repealed a specific portion of
the act of 1878 that referring to the pur
chase of from 2,000,000 to 4,000,000 ounces of
silver per month leaving the rest of the act
in force.
The resolution was referred to the Finance
Committee.

Figures Showing a Neat Little Profit on a
Circulation ot 800.
Harper's Weekly.
A paper printed in a town not more than
200 miles from Xew York can be taken as a
type of the country dailies of this country.
The town has a population of 6,000 and the
paper a circulation ot 800. It comes out
every afternoon in the week except Sunday,
and is delivered at the homes of the sub
scribers lor 10 cents a week. It has four
pages of seven columns each, is well printed
and bright looking. The owner, it will be
seen, gets f 80 a week for his circulation.
How, I wondered, can he make it pay? I
learned that these were his weekly expendi
tures: .

Here we see that the paper which he sells
for ?80 a week costs the publisher S8G 50.
But he prints an average of 15 columns of
advertising dailv, and for this he gets 55 a
column per week; so here he increases his
income by 575 a week. But this is not all.
He averages ?20 a week from reading and
political notices, so that his gross income is
as follows:

This, it will be 6een, is a very handsome
profit for a man to make who is content to
rate his personal services at 59 per week.
Until the introduction of the plate service
such an enterprise as the one described
would not have been possible. Now, therf
are at least 500 dailvpapers in the United

Harper's Bazar.
If there is any one thing in the world that
may be said to denote the breeding of a per
son, it is in the taste displayed in the1 use of
note paper. Fashions change bat slightly
in that line, and artistic simplicity is the
form to be sought after. There is nothing
so offensive as eccentricity in styles of
paper, for it is one of the little things that
seem so trivial and count for so much in the
eyes of the world.
The height of bad form is in the use of
anything startling or pronounced. Paper
that rivals the sunset in gorgeousness of
hue, odd-shaped sheets and envelopes, or
gilt-edged paper, stamp the user as one who
is not familiar with the precepts of fashion.
And not fashion alone, by any means; it is
refinement that is shown in the use of
proper stationery, and refinement and
fashion may not always mean the same.

DIXEY IN THE SOLICITOR,
A Departure From the Adonis Field Be!,
ithed at tho Alvln.
"The Solicitor," the comedy which comes
to us with a tremendous New York and
London reputation, is burdened with two
great faults. First, the humor and the sit
uations are forced; in the second place it is
the height of impropriety for the actor to
take the audience into his confidence. The
player is not to blame for this, but is com
pelled to address his confidence to the audi
tors or allow the so-called plot to go by
default The playwright whoever he may
be not supplying other listeners at times.
However, it serves the purpose intended.
It causes a laugh. The audience was in
one continuous roar from the time the cur
tain went up on the first act until the con
clusion. Henry E. Dixey,,of "Adonis" fame, who
plays "The Solicitor," takes a wide depart
ure from his old line of business. He does
fairly well in the new field, in fact. adnt
himself to it much better than was to be ex
pected. But it is not suited to his peculiar
taients. in sucn parts and opportunities as
Adonis afforded he assumed in a measure a
"unique position on the stage. In "The
Solicitor" and parts of like character he is
The Kendals entered upon their farewell
engagement here at the Duquesne Theater
last night and received a hearty welcome of
course. They repaid the audience by siv
ing a very artistic rendering to a strong, in
tensely interesting play. The play
"Katherine Kavanagh" is new here, and
the authors, Mrs. Oscar Beringer and Clo
Graves, are new names to us, but their
work is worthy of veterans. In
construction it is the best seen here this
season; the story is a dramatic one and it is
told well; the prologue and three acts hang
together, and the suspense is sustained till
the last possible moment. There is noth
ing very sparkling about the dialogue, and
the humor such as there is is deeply and
dolefully Enclish, but the people talk nat
urally and seldom retard the action of the
play with their talk, which, is an important
advantage.
A Rather Larld Prologur.
In the prologue we are introduced to two
depraved women of Brussels who have lured
a man to their rooms, where they rob him
at cards, then drug him and rob him some
more. In the final fleecing Mrs. Dudleigh,
Mrs. Kendal, "takes part, and with her
share of the 6,000, which she finds in her
victim's jiocketbook, naively announces
her intention of rehabilitating her virtue.
After she has fled to respectability, the vic
tim, Reginald ZTairfey.Mr.Kendal, awakes from
his drugged dreams, and before his friends
swears he'll hunt his despoiler down. The
stolen money is all his fortune ma'de in
Australia. His only clew a hazy remem-'
brance of the syrens who lured him and a
tocket miniature of Mrs. Dudleigh, which
that virtuous creature had dropped in her
flight.
The play proper begins with a revelation
of Mrs. Dudleigh, grown a dozen years
older, and now the . possessor- of Colonel
Kavanagh's name, exalted station in so
ciety, family jewels, a stepdaughter and a
spotless reputation. A very slim account
is given of how this transformation
has been effected, and the evolution
of such a heavenly being (as Mrs. Kavanagh
from an improper female who drugs men
and picks their pocket, is rather a large
mouthful of improbability. Still it is swal
lowed, with a gulp, because the authors pile
dramatic situation upon situation so swiftly
that the audience has not time to think of
the probabilities. Mrs. Kavanagh has an
admirer besides her husband, a crippled
artist whom she has befriended greatly.
Her regard for him is sisterly or
maternal, but his is a fierier
passion. She rebukes him when he seizes
her hand and spouts molten love, but ac
cepts his apology and offers to be her friend
in need. The need is close at band. Reginald
'Saidey reappears; recognizes the woman he
has been hunting for years, as she does him,
and bids her prepare for his vengeance.
Tho Cripple to the Rescue.
The crippled artist RrinnSow also recog
nizes Saidey as the bully who at
school caused by a cruel deed
his deformity. Srinnilow offers Sa.v3.ey
his hand in token of forgiveness and
friendship, but Saidey refuses to believe
iu such Christian behavior, and declines to
be forgiven. Saidey adds he will accept
RrinnUoic's hand apd forgiveness, when he,
Saidey, can make some corresponding sacri
fice. Rrinnilom withdraws,bnt remains near
enough to overhear Mrs. Kavanaugh confess
her theft of the money, offer restitution and
plead for pity, nhile Saidey jeers
and threatens her. It is New
Year's eve and Mrs. Kavanagh's guests
assemble after dinner .to while away
the last moments of the year with games,
Saidey proposes the game of story-telling;
one of the guests to start a story and the
thread to be carried along to completion by
the others in turn. Colond Kavanagh begins
the pastime with his favorite recital of his
encounter with a Bengal tiger, Saxcley takes
up the tale and converting the heroine into
a human tigress proceeds to tell the story
of Mrs. Kavanagh, who is present. She
is forced by the rules of the game to
contribute a chapter when called upon,
and phe tells how undeserved misfortunes
drove her to crime. Then as Saidey is evi
dently on the verge of denouncing the
wretched woman, the cripple Mrmnilpw
interposes with a reminder to Saidey of the
promise to make atonement for his boy
hood's crime by an act of self-sacrifice.
Saidey relents; the chimes ring in the new
year, with Mrs. Kavaiujgh free from the
hadow of her guilty past at last.
Some Brilliant Acting.
This brief sketch may serve to show that
the play has an absorbing story of a novel
character. Mrs. Kendal played the virtu
ous Mrs. Kavanagh of the play a great deal
better than the unpleasant female ot the
prologue. Both were artistic creations, of
course, but virtne sets more naturally upon
the actress. The scenes with Saidey in act
II aud III revealed Mrs. Kendal at her
best, and very potent and polished her
art is. It seems to us that
her agony of fear would be
be more touching if subdued a little. But
it is a great piece of acting, and worthy as a
contrast was the performance of Mr. Kendal
as the cold, revengeful Saidey. The
character of Hawlcy is not altogether in
balance, for surely such a hard-hearted
brute woild not be touched by the purelv
moral and ..philosophical appeal to whicli
he succumbs.
The whole performance was smooth
and nicely accentuated, and the
company though not a brilliant
body contains several capable actors.
Mr. J. E. Dodsou, however, 'should be
credited with a very clever rendering of the
cnppie a part wmen nas some serious de
fects and is encumbered with crutches, but
which Mr. Dodson made very pathetic at
times. Miss Nellie Campbell as a young
English girl, step-daughter of Mrs. Kaya
nagh, made a pretty picture, and the soli
tary humorous line of the piece that raised
a laugh, an allusion to Eve's escape from
the ordeal of bothering about her trousseau,
came quaintly from her mouth. The play as
nicely staged, n handsome new set by Mr.
Bender'being among th'e scenes. To-night

not likely to rise above'Hhe level of on or
dinary comedian.
Of the supporting company, Miss Joseph
ine Plows-Day, a charming girl as Mrs.
Rrandon, wife of "The Solicitor," was easily
the best performer in a company of fair
actors. None of the other female,
parts had much to do, kut, m
that Utile thev gave satisfaction.
Mr. Fred Owen Baxter as Titer ilaarun, a
bnrglar, gave the best performance of char
acter acting. The others read their lines
perhaps as well as their parts admitted.
"Th'e Solicitor" was preceded by an
amusing one act piece called "The Tangled
Skein." The plot is made up of a little
escapade of a rather lively little wife and
the mystery and confusion caused by four
pieces of millinery similarly constructed.
A large audience enjoyed both plays im
mensely. "The Solicitor" will be the bill
for the balance of the week.
THE QUEEN'S HATE.
Very Good Singing and Acting Bring tho
Buff Company Success.
"The Queen's Mate" is an amusing and
tuneful comio opera, and the Duff Company
interpreted it with very large success at the
Grand Opera House last night. For a won
der the plot is not a positive handicap to
the opera; the story is funny and ingeni
ously complicated. But the strength of Mr.
Duff's company is more remarkable than the
merits of the piece. Miss Helen Bertram
is one of the few comic opera singers who
are artists, and her voice and her methods
seem to keep on improving. She sang with
all the spirit imaginable last night, and was
rewarded by the audience's complete sur
render to her. Her interpolated ballad,
"Dear Heart," her duets with Miss Gerard
in act IL, and the bull fight song were her
chief triumphs, and in the last-named she
received an ovation. Miss Gerard's
sweet mezzo-soprano was also heard to
great advantage, while the veteran "W. H.
Clark brought his decyrbass voice into good
use, particularly in the midnight music.
The singing, as a whole, was a good bit
above light opera average. John J. Baffael
was very good as FedriUo. As a
relief from the raw buffoonery which
is usually found in such pieces,
Bichard Carroll's refined and quiet
comedy methods were simply delightful.
He kept the audience roaring without turn
ing flip-flaps or twisting his mouth around
his ears, and his song "You Can Guess
"What's the Moral," was encored till he was

ADVICE TO D0CT0ES.
A Good Academy Show.
The comedy and vaudeville company of
Irwin Bros, at the Academy of Music this
weekisjust one of the best there has been
at that establishment for a very long time.
To run down the list almost every artist
must be labeled "good" and it is hardly
necessary to further particularize. Paul
and Hattie Mills have not been
here before and they do well
in their "German Professor" sketch.
The "National Trio," Nellie Forester
and Messrs. Bryan and Moulton are capital.
Frank La Mondue, Tanner and Dowley,
Miss Lottie Gilson, the three Judges and
the Sheridan and Flynn, of McGinty fame,
are all first-class performers in their re
spective lines. Altogether the Academv
has a really excellent performance this
week.

Charles T. Ellis made his bow before a
large audience at the Bijou last night. The
merits of the piece are chiefly Mr. Ellis'
own. He is a picturesque figure, and sings
with a good deal of taste and with a fresh
sweet voice. The company supporting
him is very fair, and the sceneryis very
pretty indeed, showing views of Blarney
Castle, and a glimpse of the Hudson Eiver
among other things. Mr. Ellis' songs,
"Dancing on the Wall," "A Bunch of
Daisies," "Sunshine "Will Come Again,"
and the rest, were all received with ap
plause, and encores were the rule.
Why a Chicago Judge Was Easy on a
Would-Be Murderer.
Chicag(J, Jan. 11. Judge Anthony sen
tenced James D. Fancher to serve one day
in the county jail yesterday. Fanchertried
to kill Dr. Sawyer, his family physician,
because the doctor had taken advantage of
his professional relations with Mrs.
Fancher to ruin Fancher's home. In sen
tencing Fancher Judge Anthony said:
Tho party who acts as a family physician
should be a man in whom wo expoct honor.
rectitude and virtue. He should not take ad
vantage of his position and tho confidence
bestowed on him to betray the families or
those upon whom ho attends. I do not be
lieve that it is a part of the dnty of a family
physician to be eternally calling upon the
wives of his patients when the husbands are
absent from the citv, whether they are sick
or well, or constantly sending flowers with
tho injnnction that every petal contains a
kiss.
As a private citizen hearing the evidence
in this caso I might bo led to exclaim: What
a pity the defendant was such a poor shot!
In some States the fact that criminal inti
macy existed between the doctor and the
wife of the defendant would have been a
complete justification; but the law is differ
ent here, and I sentence the defendant to
one day in jail.

A Bronze Effigy of the Great Sire of Trotters
to Bo Erected.
Chester, N. Y., Jan. 11. Old Hamble
tonian, the founder of the great race of
American trotters, has been dead nearly 16
years, liver since his death periodical
movements have been made to erect a
monument to the "old horse," but none
ever succeeded. Joseph Howland and
Guy Miller, the well-known Chester
horsemen, recently took hold of the
matter, and the long-deferred monument is
now an assured thing. The design is to be an
heroic bronze statue of old Hambletonian,
which will cost 53,000. The sum of 52,000
has already been subscribed, Senator Ice
land Stanford contributing 5500 of the
amount. Subscriptions are being received
daily from horsemen from all over the
country by Messrs. Howland and Miller.
The statue will be erected in Chester.
Sir Edwin Arnolds Says Uncle Sam

.Chicago, Jan. 11 Speaking of the des
tiny of the American Bepublic Sir Edwin
Arnold said:
"The United States will govern the entire
continent of South America. I have never
been below the equator, despite my some
what extensive traveling, yet I believe that
to be the land of the future. Bates, of the
Amazon, told me that the great races of the
world would eventually live below the
equator. The people of the North have
been the people of mighty intellect That
will change. Some day they will leave the
cold and snow and blizzards. England will
not grudge it, because it is rightfully yours,
"England," he continued, "has" all she
wishes. India always will be ours. Two
men will always oppose a war over that
country the Czar of Bussia and the Prime
Minister of England, whoever he may be.
Still, just such a war is inevitable, although
it mav not come for manv, many years.
'When, from unavoidable causes, thoe
countries come in conflict, the Bomanolf
dynasty will be wiped away forever. Every
Bussian throat east of the Caspian will bo
cut and the Khanates will reien once more
in Asia. The remains of the retreating
Russian army will face at home a revolu
tion which will overthrow the reigning
house. There is no truth in the talk'of our
small army. "We can place more than
200,000,000 men in the field."

It has green bark and a flower something

When in the shade, or at night, the flower
is white as a lily, but carried into the sun it

Housekeepers Should Remember
The great success of the Royal Baking
Powder is due to the extreme care exercised
by its manufacturers to make it entirely pure,
' uniform in quality, and of the highest leaven
ing power. All the scientific knowledge,
care, and skill attained by twenty-five years'
practical experience are contributed toward
this end, and no preparation can be made
with a greater accuracy, precision, and exact
ness. Every article used is absolutely pure.
Chemists are employed to test the strength
of each ingredient, so that its exact effect in
combination with its co-ingredients is defi
nitely known. Nothing is trusted to chance,
and ncperson is employed in the preparation
of the materials used,- or the manufacture of
the powder, who is not an expert in his par
ticular branch of the business.
. As a consequence, the Royal Baking
Powder is of the highest grade of excellence,
always pure, wholesome, and uniform in qual
ity. Each box is exactly like every other,
and will retain its power, and produce the
same and the highest leavening effect in any
climate, at any time.
The Government Chemists, after having analyzed all
the principal brands in the market, in their reports placed
the Royal Baking PowSer at the head of. the list for
strength, purity, and wholesomeness ; and thousands of
tests all over the country have further demonstrated the
fact that its qualities are, in every respect, unrivaled.

ily lnngs became so weak I could
not lie on either side. I lost flesh,
had night sweats, and felt very
feeak at times. I, was unable to do any
work. I was afraid I had consumntlon. I
had no appetite and felt like vomiting what
little food I ate. I had distress and fnllness
after eating. I employed several physicians,
but grew wore. J became disgusted with
doctoring and thought I never would
be cured. Through advice of a friend,
whose wife had been cured, I called at your
institute and began treatment. I improved
rapidly from the first. Your price for treat
ment was more reasonable than any I had
received, for you cured me in mnch less
time than I expected. The best part of all
is I have remained cured. I live at Ka 219

am willing the whole world shonld know
