Work for Congress io do. After Voting on Puerto Rican Bill Tuesaay the House May Select its Next Subject. Washington, Feb 25 --The time of toe senate during the present week will be divided between the questions of the finances, the government .policy towards toe insular poeee9 8?OD8 and the seating of Senator Quay upon the nomination of tbe governor of Pennsylvania The Hawaiian bill remains tbe unfinished businese subject to j -removal at any time by the Quay re I solution and al60 by the conference report upon the currency biil. Senator Aldrich has given notice tbat be will make an ^explanation of tbe currency bill agreement on Wed eesday, and that be will call it up tbe next day (Thursday) and then ask final action upon it The re? quest, of course, will lead to a spirit ed contest, to many sharp speeches aod to the final adoption of the re port by practically the same vote .by which the bili originally passed the senate. The matter may be before -tbe senate for severai days There will be speeches during the week on the Quay resolution, and there is a probability of reaching a vote on it the latter part of the week Senator Chandler probably will speak for Mr Qasy Monday, and Senator Tcrley in opposition Later in the week Senators Hoar and Penrose will talk for Mr Quay, and Senator Bur rows in opposition. After these, only short speeches will be heard Senator Penrose says he will make an effort to have the discussion con fined to the morning hour, so as not to interfere with other questions be fore the senate, but that if a disposi tion to delay the vote should become apparent he will then press the Quay matter He counts upon a vote later in the week, and say9 he expects a larger vote than was cast in Mr Quay's favor in taking the resolution np When the Hawaiian bill is voted apon the Puerto Rican bill will be taken up Senator Depew Tuesday, will speak on the preblems connected with the Philippine islands The event of the week in the house of representatives will be the taking of the vote on the Puerto Rica tariff .bill. This has been set for 3 p m Tuesday, although the differences which have arisen on the biil may compel a rearrangement; of the pro gramme The general debate on J the measure will close Monday, and Tuesday up to the hour of voting the debate wiil proceed under the five minute rule. Extraordinary interest attaches to the outcome of this strug gie, owing io the differences which have arisen on the Republican sion of the chamber It had been ar ranged that the debate shoulci pro ceed Monday night, but this must give way to the report on conference in the hall of the house at 8 p m , whin ?the final effort will bri made to reconcile differences and agree upon a compromise bill Fer the rest of the week no exact procedure has been amn?;ed .eicepr that the Alabama contested election C3SO of Aldrich vs Robbins will be considered as soon as the Pu<Mt . .Rican biil is out of the way This case involves race questions and gives the opportunity for that extend ed range of debate usually excited by questions of that nature The army appropriation bill is on the calendar and doubtless wi 1 re ceive consideration the latter part of the week Owing to the extent of the military forces io the Philippines, tbe appropriations this year are ex ceptionally heavy, and this may bring on a geueral discussion of army affairs and the Philippines The Hawaiian bill and the Nicara gua canal bill are aiso awaiting a bearing, although it ie not likely either of them will be taken up this week Twenty years ago, says the Chica go Tribune, Challes M Schwab went to wotk io the Carnegie iron wotks at Pittsburg as a 6take driver at a salary of ?1 a day Now he is prest dent of the Carnegie Steel Company, limited, and draws a saiary larger than that of tbe president of the United States And he is only thirty seven years old As the exe- \ cutive head of the great Carnegie ! interest, Mr Schwab is just now prominent in the public eye lie was born in Pennsylvania, and had only a common school ?ducation At fifteen years of age he went to work, and he does not believe in a college education for a business man. For a year or two he drove a mail wagon and clerked in a grocery I store. In his seventeenth jear he got a job with the Carnegie com- I pany His first work was to dove j stakes for the foundation ot a new j building His rise was HO rapid as? to be phenomenal He became chief engineer in 1887, general manager a little later, and in 1896 a partner in the company. Yeats ago he was offered a salary oj more than $50,000 a year to go to England and take I charge of some English non and steei works This offer he declined at once. j - Boyle's Stables are now at bi? new etand, i corner of Liberty and darrin Streets-tbe aid Meran building. Feb 26-3t j Alcohol Fire Near Paris. j Parie, Feb 25 -As the resuit of a I fire thar, broke cut this morning at St j Ouen, a suburb of Paris, io a ooilec ; tioo of aloobol and ci 1 stores from some I unknown cause a series of explosions j occurred, spreading the flames until a bleck of six immense warehouses was ; involved in a huge conflagration. A great concourse of spectators had I assembled and had approached too near, when, euddaoiy and unexpectedly, the j explosion occurred A large number ot people, including somo firemen, were more or less irjared The last explosion occurred at 6 o'clock tb ss afternoon when it was thought that ali such danger had boen averted. Thirty persoos vrere injured by flying debris j The oficial computation 6hows tbat i 150 were burt, and quite a number se? riously The fire broke out at 8 o'clock from some cause as yet unknown and bad obtained firm hold before it was dis? covered It progressed without excit ing incidents during the morning and, at 1 o'clock bad been gotten under con? trol At 4 o'clock however, tbe falling walls permitted the flames to reach a number of aloobol vats, and then the explosions began to take place. The block of warehouses was almost surrounded by unoccupied ground over which the burning alcohol spread whee the buildings collapsed, resembling a sea of flames aod oausing consternation throughout the district People io the dwellings nearby hastily removed their furniture The suffocating beat and lames seriously hampered the work of the fire brigade. A number of eogioes were sent from Paris to assist. The firemen worked fearlessly and, more than once, were precipitated to tbe grouod by falling roofs and walls. A detachment of soldiers aided the firemen io emptying the adjacent bouses of furniture; and tbe ambulances were busy ia carryiog victims to the neighboring hospital Fortunately the flames did not reach the immense reservoirs of petroleum. Tbe loss is estimated at 2,000.000 traces. Water For Communion Ser? vices. Rev Edward Everett Hale, the ven? able pastor of the South Congrega? tional oburch, has brought about a radical departure in thc communion service at his church hy substituting water for wino. Dr Hale has been desirous for macy vears to bring about this change and wheo the communi? cants tasted ordinary water in place of itbe grape juice at tbe service last Sun day there was considerable comment Dr Hale explained the matter to tbe congregation by soying that in. accord ance with bi* earnest desire of some years the officers of the church had decided to cse water in the communion '.This :s a mere matter of detail,'' he said. "Tho use of wine i.-; no w?7 essential *o the communies At the great national conferences of thc Uni nriar. church I administered com mu ':ir*r? with water.

Milwaukee, Feb 26.-The United States Milling company, generally known as the flour tru6t, collapsed Saturday afternoon, but the fact did not become known until today, when Judge Jenkins in proceedings ancil? lary to the United States court of New Jersey appointed three receiv? ers for the company, two of whom are now in charge of the property. The collapse is credited to the com puny's inability to float its securities on the open rnaiket The receivers are Daniel Thomas of New York, Charles E Kimball of Summit, NJ, and Albert C. Loring of Minneapolis The same receivers were appointed in Minnesota and New Jersey It was formed last April and capitalized j at ?25.000,000. Proceedings similar ' to today's will have to be instituted in every circuit whore the company owns property The greatest litiga tion will probably be in Wisconsin, as the majority of the company's property is in this State The com pany, Mr Baliou's bill sets forth, will be unable to meet any of its obliga? tions as they maturo Its canh in the bank is about $1,000 and it has no bills or accounts receivable, the proceeds of which would be sufficient to meet, the matured and manuring; obligations. Analysis of Fert?iZ9rs. ! Mr Ashley f?*iied to get the senate j to pass his bill reducing the privilege j tax on fertilizers to 10 cents a ton. 1 Bot he was more successful with his I bill to provide that a purchaser of j chemical fertilizers may have the j same analyzed free of cost at dem eon college The act, which was approved by the governor on the I9;b, reads : Section 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of the State of South Carolina : That from and after the passage of this act, any citizen of this State who shall purchase any commercial fenil izers or manures, shall have the right to have the same analyzed by Clemson Agricultural and Mechanical college, by taking a sample of same from at least 10 per cent of such fertilizers iu the presence of at least two disinterested witnesses, one to be chosen by the purchaser and one by the seller, who shall certify that such sample was taken from such fertilizers or manures, which certifi cate, with the sample, shall be sealed by a third disinterested party in the presence of said witnesses, and di? rected to Clemson Agricultural and Mechanical college. Sec 2 The said college shall have the said sample analyzed free of cost, ! and within three months after receiv I ing the sample supply shall furnish the purchasers of such fertilizers or manures with a certificate giving the per cent of the different fertilizing ingredients of same, signed by the I chemist of Clemson Agricultural and Mechanical college, which certificate sba!! be admissible as evidence in all suits relative to such fertilizers or ! manures, whether the same be insti j tuted by the veudor or purchaser of same Sec 3 That any vendor of com? mercial fertilizers or manures whose goods or wares fall short to the ex tent of 10 per cent in any fertilizing ingredient guaranteed by the analy sis on the sack or vessel hoidirjg same, when delivered to the pur chaser, shall forfeit one-half the eaie price thereof, to be recovered by suit Gt set up as a counter-claim to an action for the purchase price of such fertilizers or manures Sec 4. Be it further euacted : That if any seller or yendor of fertilizers or commercial manures shall refuse, decline or neglect to choose a wit ness, as provided ia section 1, after having been notified or requested by the purchaser so to do, then he tr they shall have forfeited their right so to do, and the purchaser snail select two witnesses, who shall select the third witness, who shall proceed to take samples as hereinbefore pro vided All samples of fertilizers) drawn under the provisions of this I act shall be subject to such other j rules as may be prescribed by ?he ? the board of trustees cf Clemson col | iege, not inconsistent wi;!) this ac?. { ?ec 5 A ii acts and paru; o! stets j inconsistent with this act bc, and the j same are hereby, repealed 3?rne. Patti's Snbs? itere, j To some persons a poor singer may ; bo better thfin no singer at alL but the \ least music;:] person cannot fail to per- ; ceive the irony of the situation ?.le- j scribed I.-clow: Once when traveling in . o north of i Ireland, an Englishman of letters chanced upon a small town which, io his surprise, he found extensively tilled with announcements of a concert at which Mme. Patti was to appear. The price of admission to the back of the hall being the extremely moderate one of threepence, he hastened to se? cure a seat. After a long interval of waiting, the manager stepped forward, remarking: . '.Ladies and gentlemen. I regret to say that Mine. Pani is unable to ap? pear tonight. In order, however, TO save you from disappointment, I have arranged that Miss Arabella Jones of cur town of Ballyslackguthery shall favor you with a song!"-Youth's Com? panion. Weapons of tho Skunk. A skunk once challenged a lion to single combat. The lion promptly de? clined the honor. "Why." said The skunk, "are yon afraid?" "Very much so," said the lion, "tor you would only gain fame for having the honor to tight with a lion, while every one h o met me for a month would know I had been in company with a skunk." This reminds us of the story about Henry Ward Beecher's father, the fa? mous Dr. Lyman Beecher, who. when asked why he did not reply to some? body who had severely attacked him in a newspaper, replied that when a young man. crossing a field one night with an armful of books, he saw a small animal and after hurling several j volumes ;it the animal found he got the j worst of it. and ever since had thought I it belter to let such animals alone - Our Dumb Animals.

I Order tc Obtain Natural Repose. Varions A ila? eats uud thc Postures j Best Adapted to Them. Positions that woo sleep in victims | of insomnia is an interesting study made by a well known metropolitan I physician. Whitman V. White of Brooklyn. 1 >r. White is a .specialist on nervous diseases and in a mild [ but emphatic maimer scores his pro? fessional brethren for their free admin? istration of narcotics. Ile denounces the practice as unnecessarily taxing on the disorganized systems of insom? nia patients in many cases. In his own experience he has found a simple method adequate without weakening after effects likely to produce increas? ed symptoms. "Through a study based on the laws of physiology in human anatomy ex? tending over a period of a dozen or more years I have learned that under certain physical malconditions," said the physician, "the subject may be .given relief by assuming positions at rest that will from the ease afforded the affected parts serve as a natural somnolent agency. It will be readily understood that a constrained position will tend to prevent natural repose-, while a comfortable one will woo it But what may in most cases seem to be a position of ease may in reality be the reverse. "For instance, a dyspeptic will rest more easily lying on the right side for the simple reason that in that position the food naturally gravitates out of the stomach and into the intestines, while if lying on the opposite side that or gan, in its weakened state, has to per? form an uphill process of digestion. This is amply sufficient to produce in? somnia. "Lying flat .a thc back, with thc limbs relaxed, would seem to secure the greatest amount of rest for the muscular system, whether in good health or illness. Such is the position advocated by physicians generally in the most exhausting diseases, and it is hailed as a sign of rapid recovery when a patient exhibits an inclination to turn on either side. But at the same time there are several disadvantages in the supine posture which impair or embarrc-ss sleep, whether in case ol1 severe illness or ordinary health. Thus in weakly states of the heart or blood vessels and certain morbid conditions of th.) brain the blood seems to gravi? tate to the back of the head and to ac- i cordingly produce troublesome dreams. I believe that much of that weaken ing delirium which the physician has to contend with in treating serious .maladies is often occasioned in this way. "In persons who habitually stoop in their gait or work, either as a result of the requirements of iheir occupa? tion or from the course of their physi? cal development, there must necessari? ly be some distress consequent in straightening thc spine. It may not br sufficient to canse pain and yet bc such a strain as to prevent perfect j ease. The result is unconscious rest? lessness, which is the producer of in? somnia. ..people who have contracted chests cannoi sleep well lying upon their backs. This rule applies especially tu those wh<> have suffered with pleurisy and retain adhesions of thc lungs. They will rind it easier to get t<> sleep upon ? the right s?de and thar their somnolent rest will do them more good if they observe this advice. Furthermore, thc habit of lying on the back is the cre? ator of snoring, which much belabors j sleep and prevents the subject from receiving the full benefit of its recuper? ating effects. "It is desirable, therefore, in all cases to lie on the side, and in the absence ol special diseases rendering it more de- j sirable to lie on the weak side, whicli leaves the st ron.? lung free to expand, Tlie right side should be chosen. A glance at any plate cf the visceral anatomy will show that when the body is thus placed the food in the process of digestion is greatly aided in its passage from the stomach into the in ?estines. Here the principle of gravi? tation directly applies. Then the fact that the stomach doesn't compress the upper portion of the intestines is still another advantage to be gained from lying on the right side when sleep wooing ease to the entire human mech? anism is under serious consideration. "In conclusion, I wish, to refer tc some injurious eccentricities, or fads, iu sleeping which 1 have observed. A wealthy woman once came to me foi treatment for bad dreams of the or? der commonly called nightmare. Up? on making inquiry I discovered' that she was in the habit of lying at rest with her anns 'brown up over bet head, a position greatly to be deprecat? ed, although it will induce sleep in per? sons who have weak lungs. The cir? culation is thereby made stronger in the extremities, and the head and neck and muscles of the chest are drawn up and relaxed by the shoulders." Philadelphia Times. Unconstltntionai. "What a wretched daub!" exclaimed the unsophisticated visitor at the art exhibition, turning to speak to a stranger. .Tia. ha!" laughed the stranger.

A man can be measured to the best advantage, tailors say. away from a glass.

His Remedy. The oilier day a little stenographer in a down town office begged some workmen who were putting up a new telephone not to place it so high on the wall as they were doing. "You see," she said. "I have to use it as much as any one. and I am so short that I can hardly reach it." "Oh. well, mi?s." said the humorist in charge of the w^rk, "you can raise your voice, can't you?"-Boston Tran? script. Knew What He Wanted. The Amiable Plutocrat-But riches do net bring happiness.
