Ex Senator Coyle's efforts in the McCarrell bill were apoareiijly mis directed. Hiei intluence is sliown in the defeat of the measure.

Thk coal trade journals predict a distinct improvement in the anthra cite ooal trade during the current year. Aud all indications point that way. Advices from Hnrrisburg indicate that a supreme effort will be made next week to break the lJemocratic lines. If that is accomplished, Quay's election will follow. Too many changes in the member ship of Council and School Hoard generally has a bad effect. Where men have shown themselves capable and just, they should be retained.

Public Buildings. The various bills for public; build ings presented in the House !?f Rep resentatives call for a total appro priation of $10,923,900. Some of the bills are for buildings absolutely needed for government use in the larger centres of population, but the greater number are for small towns with less than ten thousand Inhabit ants. For instance, the Congressmen of Louisiana ask for appropriations almost equalling the total value of the property in some of the towns to be favored, so that it Is fair lo infer that if these patriots are now for the old flag they are also red hot for the other end of the combination a big appropriation. Alexandria, La., has a population of 2,801 people, less than the borough of Frackville, but an appropriation for a 00,000 public building is asked for. Munroe, La., has 3.2o0 people, considerably less than Girardville, yet wants $74,500. while Opelousas. in the same state, with 1,572 people, little more than half the population of Port Carbon, asks for a $47,500 building. Dover, Del., a third-class post office, with 2,000 people, wants but 170,000, while Castine, a fourth class office in the state of Speaker Reed, wauts a $80,000 building for the toothless old Yanks, who now squirt the Juice of their quids on the stove of the storekeeper who is also post master, in the long winter evenings. Wontpelier, Vt., a town of 4.180 people with genuine Yankee thrift. asks for f 161,6A0. There are twenty towns on the lift for publie buildings, ranging froin $20,000 to $800,000, and the total population of thete twenty towns is but little greater than the population of the Schuylkill towns of Shenan iloali, Mahanoy City, Ashland, Tama- ciua, Girardville and Mitiersville, but few of the twenty having h popula tion in exeess of the least populous of the Schuylkill towns named. In tills eonneation the question presents itself, if these little towns are entitled to government building, why are uot the larger towns of this county, (those at least which are en titled to letter-carriers,) entitled to like consideration f True, Pottsville has been favored, if that word is the proper one to use after a sight of the building in course of ereetion, but it seems to us that a Congressman thor oughly alive to the interest of his constituents should have been able to secure an appropriation (or at least one town in addition to Pottsville, which was, however, obtained by his Democratic predecessor fromn Dfino c ratio Oougreea. the French PRESIDENCY.

Paul Deachanel, the President of the Cham ber, and M.

Paris, Feb. 17 The meeting of tho notional assembly. In which the sena tors and deputies unite in voting for a president of France, takes place at Versailles this afternoon. Bx-Promlor Loubt will probably be the choice of the assembly. M. Loubet is at pres ent president of tho senate. Premier Dupuy at first declined to enter tho presidential contest against M. Loubet, as did M. Mellne, who was nominated by the Progressist Republicans for tho presidency. Subsequently, however, they withdrew their declinations. Paul 'Descuanel, the president of the chamber of deputies, will be a candidate, but on tho second ballot, lie has charm of manner, but Is lack ing In weight. M. De Freycinet, the war minister, another candidate, is clever, but he has no great following in parliament. The votes given to them. It Is thought, will bo merely complimentary. If M. Loubet be elected European sovereigns would soon transfer to him their friendly regard. He is a good, M.

He Is an advocate and practiced at the Montlle- mar bar, in the department of Drome. Montllemar Is his native town. Everything Is quiet in Paris. Thero is no danger of a coup d'etat ' Still the ministers think that M. Fauro's death Is a misfortune at the present Juncture, and this Is the conventional talk. They had all looked forward to his having soon to resign, nnd they spoke of the possible effect of his death on the courts of iSurope. As a precaution against a coup d'etat or any attempts of the sort, the troops have been ordered to keep within bar racks in all the garrisons. M. Faure's body, now embalmed, is lying In state in the Salle des Fetes of the theater built by President Carnot for concerts and dramatic entertain ments.

Plies of teleprams from corporate bodies, personal friends, sympathizers in all parts of France, and, Indeed, Europe and even Asia, have arrived. Tho first to telegraph to Mme. Faure was Emperor William; the next, Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, and soon after came a tolegram from the president of the United States. The army has been ordered to go into mourning until after the obsequies. Public events in France have a strange suddenness, and take spon taneously a dramatic character. Thus M. Fauro's body lies In a sallo des fetes, or hall of festivities. The cards had been issued to 6,000 persons to at tend a state ball next Thursday. Yes terday the tapestries of the ballroom were taken down that the room might be hung in black. M. Faure had look ed forward with delight to the Elysee being In 1900 the resort of sovereigns. Tho last letter he had from Emperor Nicholas was an acceptance of his (M. Fauro's) invitation. Ho took great pleasure, also, In thinking that mem bership in the Order of tho Annuncia tion would make him a "cousin" of King Humbert, and the insignia of that order was to have been presented to him by a special embassy this month. M. Lockroy, the minister of marine, is especially struck with the example M. Fauro's death gives of the fragility of human greatness. Twice on Thurs day he communicated with the presi dent on naval affairs. SI. Faure, as a former ship agent nnd charterer at Havre, and once himself minister of marine, deemed himself a naval au thority. His naval hobby was a fleet of corsair cruisers to attack, in case of war, English Transatlantic steam ers. M. Lockroy humored him, and ofter consulted him. ,Somo fatality follows the presidents of the French republic. Of the six we have had only President Grevy lived through a full term of ofllce, and he was forced to resign by a hostile vote of parliament. Marshal MacMahon found he could not remain president with dignity. M. Caslmir-Perler's mo tives for throwing up the situation are still a mystery. Carnot was as sassinated and Faure smitten as If by a thunderbolt 11. Lockroy, who was present at the death, thinks it was painless. Dr, Lanne-Longue shares this opinion, but believes there was in the early stages of apoplectic seizure agonizing pain. The doctor attributes the breakdown in the president's health to Fashoda, and thinks that the consequent anxiety used up his vitality. M. Faure had fostered the scheme Major Marcband was sent to accomplish, and he was terrified at Its possible consequences. Dr. Lanne-Longue says that after tho Fashoda Incident M. Fnure lost his appotlte. It was then he began to feel so limp in the legs that he feared to ride on horseback. Thursday the sense of limpness was so distressing that he gave up tho Idea of a canter in the Bols de Boulogne.

All the prlosts, she thought, would not be out dining; the Dominican would Burcly be at his monastery. She also begged that, if any messenger met a priest lu the I street, he should bring him at once to , me isiysee.

After dinner he was going home, when suddenly a sol dier on a bicycle came up, descended from the machine aud caught him with visible agitation by the arm, saying, "Come with me," Father Renault went, and only learned where he was going at the palace gate.

A serious and dangerous disease prevails in this country, dangerous because so decep tive. It comes on so slowly yet surely that it is often firmly seated before we are aware of it The name of this disease which may be divided into three distinct stages is, First, Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back, rheumatism, lumbago, frequent desire to urinate often willi a burning sensation, the flow of urine being copious or scant with strong odor. If allowed to advance, this reaches the Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy pain in the abdomen low down between the navel and the water passage, increasing de sire to urinate, with scalding sensation in passing, fmall quantities being passed with difficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has formed, it will prove dangerous if neglected, The Third statre is Bright's Disease. There is comfort in knowing that Dr. Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder specialist, has discovered a Remedy famous forks marvelous cures of the most distressing cases and known as Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root.
