President C?velaud wilgin honor of tbe Uniformed Raok>?K?gJrts -of Pythias, now encamped on the grounds at the foot of the Washington Monument, remain in Washing? ton until Wednesday, and possibly until Thursday, although he is just as anxious to get away as any of the Congressmen, and the most of them were so anxious that they could not wait for the formal adjournment, to-mor? row afternoon, but have already gone. To-morrow morning in every Custom House in the U. S., the new tariff law will be put into effect and McKinleyism will be dead-forever, unless the voters have under? gone a great change of mind since the last Congressionol election. The working of the new law will soon bring ont ita many good posits, andpjirhsjps the bad features may not prove as bad as many good democrats, includ? ing the President, fear them to be. People who are oversmart often over? reach themselves.. A case in point is con? nected with the new tariff law. As soon at it became definitely known that playing cards were to be taxed 2 cents a pack tbe five or six manufacturers of tbem in this country were flooded with orders for the wholesale dealers, wbo had an idea that the tax would only have to be paid on those manufactured after the new law went into effect. They will learn better now, and the knowledge will cost tbem just 2 cents a pack, as tbe tax must be paid on every pack of cards sold. Had these wholesalers been less greedy they would have saved money, as ail cards made after the law takes effect will ba^e to have tbe 2 cent revenue stamp attached by the manufacturers, while the stock io the hands of dealers will have to be ! stamped by them. Representative Hall, of Minnesota, has published in pamphlet form his speech giving in condensed form what Congress bas done, and it will probably enjoy a wide circulation. He bas bad tbe cover of tbe pamphlet printed in fae simile of that blank pamphlet, first brought to the attention of Congress du ring, tbe-silver debate io t he Sen ate al the extra session bj a would-be wit, with its ? flaring title "What Con^gress oas done " [ Mr. fla?! shows what it really bas done and ! as bis nummary discloses it bas been, all I things considered, a creditable session to the I democratic party. It bas made ali money ! equally taxable ; restored confidence in our currency and finances; given to the people j tbe opportunity of living better and cheaper ; shattered the protective trusts of McKin leyism ; placed the burden of taxation upon the rich man's surplus as well as upon every man's needs; restored the freedom of elec? tion ; placed the transactions of the govern? ment and its method of accounting upon a business basis: Greatly reduced the expenditures of the government and the num? ber of office holders, and has maintained an unrelenting fight against trusts and mono? polies which protection created. At the close of the summary Mr. Hall prints the quotation-" it has fought the good fight, it has finished the course, it has kept the faith." Representative McCreary, of Kentucky, Bays pertinently : The house has passed more good biils and enacted more important legislation than any of its predecessors in ten years, or of any in which I am familiar, and I have been watching the course of legislation for 20 years." Of the new tariff bill be says: "It is not as sweeping and comprehensive as I desire, but it is the best tariff reform bill since 1857, when a democratic Congress amended the Walker tariff bill of 1846 by reducing-the tariff rates to average rate of 18 per cent. The new tariff bill places wool, salt, lumber, farming machinery, cotton ties, cotton bag? ging, binding twine, and a number of other necessary articles on the free list. Tbe duty on woollen goods and clothing has been red need from an average rate of 98 to 48 per cent, and millions of dollars annually will be saved to the people on clothing and woollen goods alone." The Democratic Congressional campaign committee will now begio to rush things. The news received is growiag better and bet? ter, and even the republicans are now begin? ning to admit that tbey have nothing upon which to base hopes that they will elect a majority of the next House. They have not yet reached the stage where they are willing to concede a majority to the democrats, but let themselves down easy by expressing their belief that neither democrats nor republicans willelect a -majority, of the nex.tJ3.aaft. This | implies a belief that tbe populists will elect aSufficient oonrter to enable them to- con tro 1 the House. The democratic committee is in constant communication with trustworthy ok responden ts in every Congressional Dis? trict, but they bav? no knowledge of any? thing that indicates any sucoMoenaae io the pooaJiat strength' Or* the contrary, they are eo^d^tth^ti ihe. nexiJRoJs^wia be demo? cratic by a good workiog majority?

Paul Simpson, Shipper Glenn Springs, S. C. Greenland Delicacies. ....... Among the Greenlander's principal dainties is the skin of different kinds of whales. They call it matak and look apon it as tbe acme of deliciousness. It is taken off with the layer of blubber next to it and is eaten raw without cere? mony. Mr. Nansen declares 'that he most offer the Eskimos his sincerest congratulations on the invention of this dish: 1 can assure the reader that now as I write of it my month waters at the very thought of matak, with its inde? scribably delicate taste of nuts and oysters mingled. And then it has this advantage over oysters, that the skin is as tough as india rubber to masticate, so that the enjoyment can be protracted to any extent. Of vegetable food the primitive Green landers used several sorts. I may men? tion angelica, dandelions, sorrel, crow berries, bilberries and different kinds of seaweed. One of their greatest delicacies is the contents of a reindeer's stomach. If a Greenlander kills a reindeer and is un? able to convey much of it home with him, he will, I believe, secure the stomach first of all, and the last thing an Eskimo lady enjoins upon her lover when he sets off reindeer hunting is that he must reserve for her the stomach of his prey. It is no doubt because they stand in need of vegetable food that they prize this so highly, and also because it is in reality a very choice collection of the finest moss and grasses which that gour? met, the reindeer, picks out for himself. It has undergone a sort of stewing in the precess of semidigestion, while the gastric juice provides a somewhat sharp and aromatic sauce. Many will no doubt make a wry face at the thought of this dish, but they really need not do so. I have tasted it and found it not uneatable, though somewhat sour,"like "fermented milk. As a dish for very special occasions it is served up with pieces of blubber and crowberries.-Youth's Companion. A TARIFF ON MATRIMONY. A Kansas School Board Objects to Teachers Marrying* During; the Term. A young lady who goes to Concordia, Kan., to teach school will find a very exacting rule, which was recently adopt? ed by the board of education. It seems that several lady teachers have married in the midst of the term when it was impossible to fill their places. This the Concordia school board proposes to reg? ulate, and it did so recently by the adoption of the following resolutions: Inasmuch as it seems to be the cus? tom of lady teachers of the public schools of Concordia, Kan., to contract marriage without the knowledge or con? sent of said board, therefore be it Resolved, By said board of education that should any of the lady teachers of the Concordia schools hereafter commit matrimony during the term for which they have been elected they shall forfeit a sum of money equal lo one-half month's salary, provided they take a home man, and a sum equal to one month's salary in case the groom is im? ported from some other county or state; in either case the lady shall cause a card of invitation to be sent to each of the members of the board of education. -Chicago Inter Ocean. The Baby's Name and Title. Contrary to the confident assertions of ill informed persons, the new royal baby will bear no title for the present other than the courtesy one of prince. He has no right yet even to the prefix of royal highness, but the queen is expect? ed speedily to remedy that defect in his status by a special warrant. The only question of pressing moment is the Christian names to be given to this im? portant and fortunate infant The late Duke of Clarence was baptized Albert Victor because the queen desired the throne of England to be filled one day by a man bearing the name of her idol? ized husband. If she should wish the name revived, it will certainly be the first of the half dozen or so which the Duke of York's son will carry through life.-London Letter,. HOMING PIGEONS IN THE NAVY. A Trial on the Monongahela Demonstrates Their Value as Messengers. The United States practice ship Mo? nongahela, Captain C. M. Chester com? manding, has arrived in Gardiner's bay from Annapolis She has three classes j of naval cadets on board and is on her summer cruise. An interesting experiment with a pi? geon messenger service was tried. The Monongahela took with her a number of birds from the Naval academy loft Each day after leaving Annapolis one of these was released with messages for home. The last was liberated 90 miles off Cape Henry and fully 200 miles from Annapolis. Advices received from Annapolis show the birds reached there in good time. Lieutenant F. N. Tyler will put in a messenger pigeon loft at the Norfolk navy yard, as the experiment, the offi- j cers of the Monongahela declare, has shown such a messenger service can be made an important feature of all our naval stations and warships cruising along the coast-New York World A Pine Knot Squirrel Hunt, "A pine knot squirrel hunt is about the most exciting sport I know," said A. R. Mell vane. "In the pine woods of the south there are a great many squir? rels, and the ground is covered with laaots. These are very hard, and their shape renders them much easier than stones to throw straight Frequently parties of expert throwers are formed to kill squirrels without guns, and it is re? markable how successful they are. When a squirrel is sighted, the man who discovers him has the first throw7, and if the squirrel is not hit it belongs to whoever gets it. About one-half of the throws bring the squirrels down, and the party will of ten return with 100 of the animals. As the trees are high and the squirrels are generally on the branches, the difficulty of hitting them is very great, but the skill of a great many with giese knots is remarkable. " RISKED UFE AND LOST. The Man Who Permitted Doctor? to Bore Into HU Stomach. Ferdinand Pietrich, the mau who sold himself to South American surgeons, is dead. Here is the story: Last August a man named Obaldeston advertised in the New York papers for a mail who would consent to go down to Guayaquil, Ecuador, and there submit to an experi? mental operation by two South Amer? ican doctors. Osbaldeston acted as agent for those physicians. It was illustrative of the hard times that more than 120 answers were received The operation in question was simply an incision in the stomach, through which the action of the gastric juices might be observed. The cavity thus made was about the size of a hazel nut Tubes of gold and silver were inserted, and through these the nourishment tak? en by the patient was forced, the digest? ive process being marked by the aid of an electric light Incidental to the oper? ation certain chemical substances were administered to the patient through the tube to ascertain positively the action of drugs in combination with each other. Among the 120 persons who answered the advertisement was a well knit, pow? erful looking fellow who had been a sailor. He was about 5 feet 8 inches in height, weighed about 180 pounds, looked hard and wiry and was active as a cat Osbaldeston decided that he would do. His name was Ferdinand Pietrich. The first week in September Pietrich sailed for Guayaquil. There for four or five weeks he remained un? der medical care in preparation for the ordeal, and it was the second or third week in October before the chief sur? geon, Dr. Adele Ajaico, ventured to per? form the operation. Osbaldeston has received information that the operation had been completely successful and that the patient was on the road to recovery when he took to drink. Under these conditions it became necessary to stop the treatment for a time, and in this interval Pietrich while sitting on the battlements of a fortress one morning was sunstruck and died within two hours. He was alone in the world, and it does not appear that he ever received the money for which he had risked his life or in fact anything beyond his traveling expenses.-New York Letter. COWED BY A REDHOT IRON. Lioness Victoria Waa Then Whipped, and Her Mate Nero Did His Tricks. A few persons saw a thrilling exhibi? tion at the London zoo befr re the regu? lar performance began the other after? noon. Mlle. Beatrice, who was recently bitten in the face by the lion Nero, went into his cage for the first time since then. Nero was in an ugly temper, and his mate,. Victoria, when the woman tamer stepped upon the steps leading into the cage, sprang against the door and remained in front of it with up? lifted paw and mouth wide open. Mlle. Beatrice tried to drive the lion? ess back with a whip, but Victoria bit and struck at the whip and roared with rage. A blank cartridge discharged squarely in her mouth by Mlle Bea? trice intensified the brute's rage. Manager Francis Ferreri then brought an iron bar redhot at one end. A touch of this had the desired effect, and Vic? toria withdrew to the other end of the cage, and Mlle Beatrice entered. . She whipped the lioness severely. Nero roared, but he was as much in fear of the hot iron as Victoria. Half a dozen attendants covered the two lions with revolvers loaded with ball cartridges while Mila Beatrice made Nero go through his tricks. She omitted tht kiss? ing act, in the performance of which she was bitten three weeks aga She will always carry the scars of that bite Nero is 4 years old and always appeared per? fectly docile until his attack upon Mlle. Beatrice.-London Standard HE MAY BE A LORD. W. W. Astor Said to Be In Training Fer? tile British Peeraffe. England continues to speak of Wil? liam Waldorf Astor as an American, and America laughs at him as an imi? tatton Englishman, but the truth is he is so much an Englishman that he is ac? tually slated for the peerage This may seem incredible in America, and yet it is a fact You are probably aware that Mr. Waldorf Astor has already become a British subject, and since he natural? ized himself here he has enjoyed prefer? ential election to that select circle of England's territorial magnates, that po? litical holiest of the holies, the Carlton club. A further step in his upward flight was his nomination for the bench of the county of Middlesex, and he will be forthwith gazetted justice of the peace. That is an honor conferred by the lord high chancellor, aoting for the crown, on the nomination of the lord lieutenant of the county. It entitles the holder to rank as justice of the quorum and is an inevitable preparatory step to higher rank. So far so good, but the half has not yet been told. He has been offered a baronetcy, but, not quite con? tent with that, stipulates for the ratik of a baron at least and will undoubtedly succeed. Let me explain the difference in rank between a baronet and a baron. The former is the lowest order of hereditary rank and entitles the holder to be ad? dressed as sir and his spouse as lady. It is in point of procedure rank 65 and per? mits the holder to git in the house of commons, whereas that of baron entitles the holder to the rank, title and dignity of my lord and a seat in the house of lords. The style of address to the spouse of the holder of the title is still my lady. Thc rank of baron is the lowest of the five orders of peers and entitles tho family of the holders to be known and addressed as honorable. Lord Beaconsfield once said that there was "a cert, .in moral force in a name and a dignity in a double barreled name. " Mr. Astor is of the same opin? ion. He writes and styles himself Wal? dorf Astor. So in books of reference look under W and not under A. Mr. Wal? dorf Astor, however, is doing well and is appreciated hera He has always been in good hands, having from the first been chaperoned by that fine, old English j gentleman! that sturdy old courtier, Christopher Sykes. Success in social life in England de ! pends entirely on whose hands one gets in, and it i i not always that the most written about are the most desirable i In the case of Mr. Waldorf Astor, his chaperon is not much known outside, but Christopher is a man of rare judg? ment and unsullied character, and, what is more, one of H. B. H. 's set, high in the favor of Queen Victoria and socially a power behind the throne. From the standpoint of practical politics the giv? ing of social rank to Mr. Waldorf Astor is brilliant. It will tend to attract other multimillionaires, and when we get the Astors,Vanf'erbilts,Havemeyers, Rocke? fellers, Goulds and others our London season will blossom like a rose, and when the few remaining coronets of British aristocrats now in pawn be re? deemed then the plebeian government o? the United States may devise some means of social demarcation to keep her millionaires at home. Meanwhile a cor? dial welcome awaits them here.-Cor. Philadelphia Times. ROSEBERY AND RACING. The Prime Minister Is Kot Yet Ont of His Wrangle With the Nonconformists. The nonconformist conscience has fi nally succeeded in drawing out Lord Rosebery on the subject of horse races, or rather race horses, for a sharp dis? tinction is made between the two phrases. The premier's clever interpre? tation of the Puritan figure of Crom? well between himself and his virtuous critics is accepted as a practically con? clusive argument in a country which ranks precedent as higher authority than principia This paramount characteristic of the English mind is amazingly shown in the reply to the prime minister's urbane retort Instead of defying the historic example of the, lord protector and stick? ing to its guns, the Antigambling so? ciety weakly suggests that if Cromwell had possessed as much knowledge of the evils of gambling as is now available he would have sold his race horses, as Rosebery is asked to da The two letters have started the dis? cussion afresh, but the episode has so amused the English that the winner of the Derby has little to fear. It is an in? teresting fast that Rosebery's most nu? merous and enthusiastic A ^enders are among his political opponents. The Liberal party has much more to fear from the stern virtues of the noncon? formist conscience. So some organs which support the prime minister politically take a dubi? ous view of the incident Enemies like The Times and The Telegraph chuckle gleefully over the discomfiture of the critics. They review copiously the his? tory of the great pretender's sporting pro? clivities and lament any decadence in the favorite national pastime.-New York Sun's London Letter. PALPITATION OF THE HEART.
