For the second "breakfast" there Is dry bread. IMnner generally consists of boiled potatoes with salt, some kind of hollcd vegetables,, and. on perhaps two days of the week, a tiny piece of meat. Fish tnkes the place of meat oil other days, unless one can buy a goose at $1.41 a pound, a urkcy at $l..'t2 a pyund, or a hen at $1.08 to $1.20 a pound at that.

"Many <>?* Senator Tillman's friends and supi>orters wore very much dis tressed to learn this and I am sure that they will be very much pleased to know that Senator Tillman's health l,s now hotter and that he is stronger than he has been for several years.
