Feeling Nervous
That' 6 the way it begins. little things
disturb you. Ton are irritable, restless
and worry over trifles. Your heart jumps
and palpitates at every sudden noise, you
can't concentrate your mind cm your
work, your memory fails and you do not
6leep well at night. In the morning you
feel weak and exhausted, with no appe
tite for food and no ambition for exertion
of any kind. Nervous prostration has no
terrors for those who use

A LONG JOURNEY.
How m Piece of Mull May Follow the
Ad dreasee.
"The United States is getting pretty
big in a postal sense as well as terri
torial," said a postoffiee Inspector,
"and for 2 eeuts a piece of mail can
have a good run for the money, Sup
pose we put in * spare moment in see
ing what may be done for 2 cents,
though a copy of The Star carrying a
penny stamp goes as far as a letter.
"A reader of The Star writes from
Manila for a copy of the paper. It
would be sent him under the second
class mail matter rate of 1 cent a
pound, but, as the public understands
the regular newspaper rate of four
ounces for 1 cent, we will take that as
a basis for our figuring.
"It is mailed in Washington and
travels 5,250 miles to San Francisco
and thence approximately 0,000 miles
to Manila, stopping en route at Hono
lulu, which, by the way, is 2,089 miles
from San Francisco. In the meantime
the subscriber has returned to the
United States to his home In Eastport,
Me., having left directions at Manila
for the forwarding of his mall. The
paper is returned by the next steamer,
ami in due time it travels back over
the same route, covering this time
about 9,500 miles to the most eastern
city in the United States.
"Tills particular subscriber happened
to be of a roving disposition, and be
fore the paper arrived at Eastport ho
had skipped out for Cape Nome, Alaska.
He wished to keep in touch with
Washington affairs, however, so he
left another forwarding order with the
postmaster, and the paper faithfully
followed him to the goidfiolds, an addi
tional distance of 0,700 miles, making
a total journey thus far of 25,450 miles.
"If the paper were tired at this stage
of the chase, the subscriber was not,
and when it reached Cape Nome there
was another forwarding order await
ing it. this time to Sitka, Alaska, a far
ther distance of 2,550 miles, as the
mail route is somewhat rouudubout In
the arctic seas.
"If the pursuing paper had been a
detective, he would have exclulmed,
'Foiled again!' scowled and bit his lip.
The subscriber had had enough of trav
el by tills time and had started for
home; but, desiring to read this partic
ular number of The Star, he had left
still a further forwarding order, so the
paper, or, rather, what was loft of it,
was tossed in a mail bag and shipped
to the States. If it came in by the way
of San Francisco, it traveled 1,502
miles and thence to Eastport 5,500
miles farther, arriving somewhat bar
tered. but still in the ring, after a total
journey of no less than 32,002 miles."—

McKlnley'a Black Suit.
A suit of clothes made of block wool
eu cloth which has never been through \
the dye tub is probably the most re |
mnrkable costume that President Mc- i
Kiuley has ever owned. That he can
wear It, as one of a very few men who
have enough of the wool to make a suit
of clothes, is due to the courtesy of
George W. Peterson, who owns a flock !
of 70 black sheep, the only really black
flock in the country. Mr. Peterson has j
also given Senator Piatt a quantity of
the same cloth. No dye of any sort
was used, and the wool is as pure lu :
color and texture as when It came from \
the sheep's backs.
As this is the only known instance
in which black cloth has been made
without dyeing the wool. President Mc
Klnley will be a marked man when he
npfvars in his priceless suit of clothes.

FORTUNE FROM A WHIPPING
Sixty fS.OOO Laobeit Started One Man
to (arent Wealth.
There died recently in San Francisco
John Magee, one of the wealthiest resi
dents of that city of millionaires, says
the New York Press. John Ma gee's
Immense fortune came originally as a
result of a Hogging which he received
in San Jose, Guatemala, iu 1874. la
that year Magee was a British consu
lar agent in San Jose. He fell out
with the military commander there,
one Colonel Gonzales. Gonzales threat
ened and stormed, but Magee defied
him. Thereupon the colonel took Ma
gee from his consulate, ignoring the
protection of the British flag, and or
dered him to he flogged for his con
tumacy. He got (XI lushes on his hare
buck and then was thrown into prison.
A British man-of-war came steaming
into the harbor of San Jose, and a
wrathful man was her commander,
lie demanded that Magee be delivered
over to him Immediately under penalty
of blowing the town sky high. Magee
was given up, but that did not close
the incident. Unless an apology for
the insult to the British flag was made
immediately by the government of
Guatemala, the flag saluted and an in
demnity paid to Magee the British gov
ernment threatened direful things.
Guatemala appealed to the United
States, but this country replied that
the Monroe doctrine did not protect lit
tle Central American republics In com
mitting such outrages as that perpe
trated by Colouei Gonzales, and Guate
mala was advised to comply with the
Just British demands. Thereupon the
government of Guatemala offered to ;
pay Magee $300,000, $5,000 for every
lash ho had received. The apology and
the salute of the British flag were also
forthcoming.
Now, this amount cannot be found
every day in the treasury of a Central
American republic, and while the gov
ernment of Guatemala might agree to
pay the sum the collecting of it would
probably be delayed and attended with
trouble and complications. So Magee
said to the Guatemalan government
that he really could not distress it
financially by accepting such a large
amount of money, but would be con
tent to call It square for certain con
cessions which would cost it nothing.
Magee got the concessions at once, and #
they included the right to establish a
bank in San Jose and the building of
wharfs in that port. The government
was so grateful to him because he had
not insisted on cash that he was pro
tected in his monopoly every way, and
thus he laid the foundation of his enor
mous fortune.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington a a Dnatnenn City—Out
rageona Vandallam—Tlic Senn
tor'i Working Day.
[Special Correspondence.]
Congressman Meyer of Louisiana is
proud of Washington. Unlike some of
the rural members, who would appar
ently delight to see the national capi
tal relegated to the backwoods stage,
Mr. Meyer believes that everything
ought to be done to make the city the
handsomest capital in the world. "And
I do not agree with the assertion that
Washington is purely a residence city
and will remain so," says Mr. Meyer.
"People who talk that way do not com
prehend present conditions or divine
the future. This city is growing rapid
ly and steadily. Its commerce or busi
! uesa is increasing. Its manufactures,
already considerable, are also increas
ing, and, like other capitals, Washing
ton seems to me to be destined to grow
at a very rapid rate. It is true that
Loudon has easy access to the sea, but
hydraulic science may do as much for
Washington in the future. Paris is an
Interior city, without any navigable
stream, but It has vast business Indus
tries, manufactures and wealth. Ber
lin and Vienna are cities of wonderful
growth and enormous trade. It is safe
to say that Washington will huve a
great and increasing growth, which
will be proportionate to this country.
It will have something more than
grand public buildings, tasteful resi
dences. Irroad avenues, flower gardens,
etc. It will have, as it already has, its
utilitarian side. It will have work
shops and industries, like other great
capitals."
Mr. Meyer believes that the greater
Washington will expand north, east
and west, the southern boundary being
lixed by the Potomac. He thinks that
"the magultlcent and beautiful country
west of the Potomac" will become pop
ulated and that not merely one bridge,
but three or four flue bridges, will con
nect that section with this side of the
Potomac.
Outrncceona Vandalism.
The bronze doors of the cnpitol are
workH of art. They are very tall and
heavy, and each is composed of sever/l
panels which present In bas-relief pic
tures from American history.
The execution is so lifelike that the
flgiiros stand out some distance from
tho background of the doors. The guns
of the Revolutionary soldiers protrude
from the shoulders of the men, the
feet of the cavalrymen are perfect.
This fidelity to nature has been the
opportunity of the vandal. The doors
have been robbed of every bit of bronze
that could be chipped off. The bayo
nets of the guns have disappeared, the
spurs have been taken from the feet of
the men on horseback, and even the
feathers in the headdresses of the In
dians have been broken away. Of
course there is no way either to catch
the offenders or remedy their vandal
ism. The defects In the beautiful
bronze work remain as evidence of the
insatiate desire of the average Ameri
can tourist to carry off a souvenir.
In the same way the Rtatue of Pore
Marquette, in Statuary hall, has been
disfigured. The Indians in the bronze
bas-relief had feathers in their heads
when the statue was unveiled, but now
every feather has disappeared.
The Senator's Worklne Day.
All that is said on the floors of con
gross does not get into The Record.
One day the senate sat very late —well
into the evening, after the electric
lamps were turned on. Mr. Pettus of
Alabama had been showing signs of
1 uneasiness for some time, especially as
I the Bpeechinaking had been growing
I pretty prosy. By nud by, a lull in the
j debate occurring, he slowly rose and
| caught the eye of the presiding officer,
j Peering over his spectacles, shifting
! his quid and speaking with his quaint
est drawl he said:
"Mr. President, the hours of labor in
' the government service in Washington
are everywhere limited to seven per
day. I have been in this chamber since
II o'clock this morning. It is now, by
the senate clock, 20 minutes after (i.
It is past the limit of my lawful work
ing day, Mr. President, and I'm going
to quit. Good night."
And, with a how, the old gentleman
gathered his papers under his arm and
: started up the nislo. The official re
| porters decided among themselves not
| to treat his farewell speech as a part
of the proceedings of the day.
Mlxrd Metaphor.
| Senator Caffery of Louisiana was
discussing the flood of speculators who
overrun Cuba and the Philippines,
seeking all that they may devour.
"Wherever the carcass is," remarked
Mr. Caffery, "there will also be the
| eagles, with their pockets full of mon
ey."
j This expressive but rather mixed
j metaphor made the senators laugh,
j Senator Hansbrough, who Is quite au
artist, Immediately drew a sketch of
au eagle clad iu trousers of generous
! size, with pockets bulging out wish
money. The sketch was passed around
the senate and finally reached Mr.
Caffery, who approved it as exactly
! meeting the Idea which he intended to
| eojivey.
find S.rn Mnoy "Peebles."
j Congressman Groff tells this story
about bis friend, Congressman Rndeu
berg of East St. Louis: "Rodenberg
took n St. Louis friend in to see Sec
retary Gage tbe other day. The man
never had seen much of the world out
side of St. Louis and East St. Louis,
ai;d he was somewhat excited by life
in WnsblngtoD. After being intro
duced to tbe dignified secretary of tbe
treasury the man threw Rodenberg
Into a comatose state by saying:
I " 'Oxcoose me, Mr. Gage, but I linve
seen so many peebles yet today dat I
j baf to ask you vat Is your job?'"
