How completely Mr. Reed will dom inate the Republican majority in the House is shown in the scramble for the other offices of that body. Although a number of candidates have been in the Held for sometime they have been able to get very few members to com mit themselves; they are all waiting to find out Reed's choice before an nouncing their own. By the way, ipealiing.of Reed, and his method, there is something for those Republi cans who have been yelling "Wall street domination" at the Democratic administration and Congress to pon der over in the Republican announce ment that Mr. Reed has been consult ing Weill street bankers to learn what their wishes were concerning financial legislation. " 1 Capt II. W. Howgate, y hose whole sale embezzlement of government money was a. national sensation some fif teen years ago, ' having exhausted all legal quibbles, or. his money,; will this week be taken to the Albany pen itentiary to serve the eight-year; sen tence imposed upon him by t a jury that saw things somewhat differently from the jury which at ail earlier date declared him not guilty as' c'harged in the first indictments, and confirmed ..... i , by a decision of the Court of Appeals against a new trial for him. Notwith standing Howgate's known guilt, and Ids known whereabouts during all the thirteen years after he was allowed to escape, justice was slow in overtaking him, and the sentence imposed upon him light when compared with those given ordinary thieves.,- Had not Sec retary Morton ordered his arrest he would still be at liberty, although ev erybody in Washington appeared to know j hat he was living in New York. Wholesale abuse of the franking privilege caused it to be wholly abol ished for a long time. Although only existing in a modified form for the last few years there is no doubt of its hav ing been abused. It is known that the Republican campaign committee used it to send out documents that were not frankable during the con gressional campaign of last year and the last presidential campaign. JBut a case has recently come to the knowl edge of Secretary Morton which shows that individuals have also been abus ing it to their own profit. The case ill probably be referred to the Attor ney Genera! in order to decide whether any legal wrong has been done. It came to the knowledge of Secretary Morton that a second-hand book deal er was selling government publica tions and giving congressional franks to those who wished to mail them. An employe of the Department of Ag riculture was sent to purchase one of these publications and obtain one of the franks. He easily did so. The frank bears a rubber stamp fac-simile of the signature of ex-Representative Tom L. Johnson, of Ohio, and the book-dealer claims that he came legit imately by them and acknowledges to have used a considerable number of them sending books through the mail for his customers. It has been ascertained that it is a common prac tice for the clerks of Senators and Representatives to sell government publications to book dealers and to furnish congressional franks for mail ing them.

Cary, of Waco, Tex., to a Kansas City Star re porter, "but the strange death of Sheriff Winters, who sprung the trap, has been kept out of the papers. Af ter Masters1 body waa cut down, the county physician pronouncing the murderer dead, the Sheriff ordered four deputies to carry the body to his private laboratory where the Sheriff used to pursue his medical experi ments alone. He was bound to dis sect the powerful, well-developed corpse and went to work. 4tThe Skeriff moved about briskly, making a great clatter with his lustra men ts. Several times he went to the windows and peered out, but the neighborhood was desarted. He toon discovered that the drop on the scaf fold had not broken Masters neck, and the Sheriff thought that was for tunate, as he always had experiment ed on the restoration of life whenever opportunity afforded. He laid down his instruments and began to try and restore life. The evening shadows drifted into Might. It was a noisy town, and the shouts and laughter of revelers could be heard everywhere. Several times the crowds passing the Sheriffs room thought they heard the sounds of scuffling, and more than once a muffled shout was heard. But the pleasure seekers on the streets passed along without giving a thought to this. '' . . - i40n the following day Sheriff Win ters failed to appear at his office. No body had seen- him since he locked himself in the laboratory with Mas ters' body. . Finally the Mayor of the town aud several Deputy Sheriffs went to the laboratory but rapping at the door nor shouts would bring any answtr. men tney oroKe open tne door. : The sight before them nearly turned their hair gray. The room was a total wreck. The furniture was strewn about the room, smashed, to pieceVaritl everything bore . evidence of a terrible struggle.

Senator Allen, the lead ing Populist, when he was in Omaha a few days ago. His statements show forthemself. The Populist party it seems however, is dead in the rut and they must congregate and associate with either the Democratic or the Re publican parties. It says: Senator Wm. A. Allen, as senior representative in the United States Senate and the recognized leader of the Populists in both houses of Con gress, has been in Omaha for two days, previous to going to Washington to be in attendance at the convening of the national legislature. 4lIt goes without saying," said the Senator to-day, "that the Populist party will have a Presidential ticket in the field, and it will be the only one of the old parties that will be out spoken in favor of the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1. As to the re-organization of the Sen ate, I don't think the Populist Sena tors will cut the figure that has been predicted for them. I believe the Re publicans and Democrats will agree upon a platform of organization thnt will depend uon Populist assistance. I do not believe the Populists will care to enter into negotiations for a division of the Senate spoils. "The Populist -National Committee will probably meet in January to ar range for the Populist National Con vention. I am in correspondence with Chairman Taubeneck to have the meeting to take place in Washington, so that the Populist delegation in Congress may be consulted on the questions to be decided. I am in fa vor of holding the convention after those of the Republicans and Demo crats. The convention will doubtless J go to some western city." CUKES CATARRH. j Dr. Hartman's TTell-Tried Rem- edy In Use Forty Years. Catarrh can be cured . Catarrh is being cured thousands of cases ev ery month. Dr. Hart man's regular prescription, known as Pe-ru-na the world over, cures catarrh almost in fallibly. Pe-ru na is not a local ap plication to give temporary relief, but an internal systemic remedy that cures penniinently. Only a small number of the cures made are reported, as most people object to publicity. In apite of this, a multitude of letters are constantly received telling of cures. Here is a specimen: C. R. Harden, Kvansville, Wis writes: "Pru-Da cured my wife of chronic catarrh, with which she had been troubled more than twenty-five years. Her breathing was so bad that she could not sleep on her back at all, but uow she is able to do so with per fect ease. I was also troubled with catarrh for fifteen years, of which the Pe-ru-na has entirely cured me. Some time ago my youngest son had the grip, and the disease seemed to settle in his lungs, producing hemorrhages from the lungs. We tried Pe ru na and his hemorrhages stopped, and he soon got up and .is well and is hard at work." This is what Pe ru na is doing in all parts of the United States continually.

James doings,. Who Assaulted Miss Llllle Jnes ia Maryland Hangad to a Tree. , Frederick," Md., Nov. 23. James Goings, who assaulted Miss Lillie Jones at the home of Hamilton Geis bert, near this city last night was tak en from the jail by a mob of 300 men this morning and hanged to a tree. A report reached the city about mid night that.the woman had died from the cuts and eating inflicted by the negro and this infuriated the men who had been gathering in the streets and discussing: the outrage. " The assault for which Going's suf fered death was a cruel and dastardly rone. ' Miss Jones-has"thirteen cuts and stab wbundsori her body where he haokfedTier-'with a knife and razor. She "says he asked her for something to eat t and when she gave it to him he said: "I will give you a dollar. " She screamed and ran fifty feet down the garden; where he overtook her, knock ing her down and cut her, also crush ing her nose. ' ' The field in " which the negro was lynched is the spot the negro Biggns was lynched in November 1837. After watching the body swing in the air a few minutes the crowd left it dangling there and dispersed. Six weeks ago I suffered with a very severe cold; was almost unable to speak. My friends all advised me to consult a physician. Noticing Cham berlain's Cough Remedy advertised in the St. Paul Yolks Zeitnng I procured a bottle, and after taking it a short while was entirely well. I now most heartily recommend this remedy to anyone suffering with a cold. Wm. Kkil, 078 Selby Ave., St. Paul, Minn. For sale by O. M. Royster, Druggist. Will Cost Over $110,000,000. New York, Nov. 33. A special from Washington, D. C, says: Trust worthy information has been received as to the contents of the report of the Commission which examined into the feasibility and cost aud recommended a route for the Nicaraguan canal. The report is in the hands of the President, who is using it in connection with his work on his annual message to Con gress. The report indicates that a ca nal across the isthmus via the Nicara guan route is entirely feasible from an Engineering point of view. The cost of the project, as estimated, is $110,- 000,000. but it is stated that this sum is too small by some millions. Tlioosands of Women: SUFFER UNTOLD MISERIES.

Among tba most curious Indication of tb erolutlon of dcmccracy In old Europe Is tb gradual disappears nca of tb tbrono meaning not the Institution of mon archy, but the actual, palpable chair of 6tatc. preferably of roM embcUlihcd with geina ad libitum, which wo used to bear so much about In fairy tales. The throne, till recently a paJpablo reality, is today only a symbol. The newspapers tell of a monarch' accession to the throne of his ancestors, of carrying popular complaints to the throne, of speeches from thi tbrcna. This throne Is said to be firm, that to be tottering, but these are only metaphors. This Is so true that if a man ware asked to describe the piece of furniture In ques tion he would be seriously embarrassed In his efforts. It Is true that there are chairs of state erary Bovereiga has sereral that are spo ken of as throne. But they are so only for the moment, while the monarch o his spouse occupies tbem, where&a the Terlta ble throne, that majestio raised seat made of gold and Incrusted with preotous stones, seated on which the monarch Issued his edicts and rendered justice, the throne of which the Tery feet were saturated with tuajesty this throne has disappeared. lauce has amusMl herself by abolishing; and then re-establishing the throne at la terrals. But her ally, the eaar of all the Russlas, has at least a dozen that la to aay, his majesty Nicholas III owna quan tities of decorated armchairs that are al ternately designated by the oamo of throne though no single ono can claim the dig city exclusively. The most expensive of all Is probably the chair that belonged to his majesty Ivan the Terrible, which is now at Mos cow in the treasure chamber of the Krem lin. This precious piece of furniture Is composed entirely of turquoises fttod into each other like the stones of a pavement. The back alone contains 10,000 of these precious stones, which were picked out from the most beautiful specimens known to those times. What is the British throne? Is It the stone seat of Edward tho Confessor at Westminster abbey, which has served for a thousand years as the coronation scat of the sovereigns of Britain? Is It the sump tuous chair of state in tho houso of lords, or the seat occupied in Buckingham pal ace, or the gilt armchair on which her Britannic majesty sits nt Windsor when she gives audience to foreign envoys? Certainly no one of her chairs claims the title of throno exclusively. Tho English give it generally to tho stono seat of West minster abbey, though that is occupied only onco by each monarch. Thanks to tho lovo of Louis, king of Bavaria, for all that Is sumptuous.' that country possesses more than a dozen chairs wonderfully carved and covered with gold and precious stones. They aro distributed among the numerous royal palaces and chateaux that have cost that country such prodigious sums of money. St. Louis jofit-Bispatch. - A Different Matter. . . , 'Miry Saunders is an awful smart gal," said Mrs. Abijah Wilson as ,sho folded her shawl in its rcguXur.crc.iscs on her return from tho High Bridge academy 'excrcises." 4,I must say It, If she Is my niece, that I consider she has real talent. Her composition was jest as -smooth as If she'd wroto for tho papers all her days. Her ma set there, jest like a bump on a log, an didn't appear to know what was bein" read. It must ar been 'real disap p'intln to 'Miry after tho way she's worked over that composition." . - What was tho subject of her writin?" inquired Mr. Wilson. ''It was a graduatin 'essay, "answered his wife, "an it showed n good deal o thought in a 16-year-old gal, jest finish in off her school in. It was called Tho Stern Duties of Life Upon Which Wo Aro About Enterin.' That was tho caption of it, an the idco was well kcrried out." ''Well,' now it's 'sing'lar how gala is made, "ain't it?" Inquired Mr. Wilson. 'Now, 1 shd never' vo expected to hear 'Miry holdin forth on jest that subject." "Why wouldn't you, I'd like to know?" demanded the gifted essayist's aunt. Well," f aid Mr. Wilson, I some way or 'nother didn't think 'Miry was jest pap pared to tackle that subject. For yist'day afternoon, while I was over to her pa's, 'Miry she lay In the hammock readln a paper novel, while her ma did up tho din ner dishes an all the rest o' the work. But then, " added Mr. Wilson, "I reckon comp' sitlons is one thing, an kerryin out of the idees that's in 'em Is another thing." Youth's Companion. Pope Leo at Eighty-five. Pope Leo XIII has authorized his phy sician, Or. LapponJ, to communicate to tho medical faculty such information about himself as may bo of Interest to them. Dr. Lapponl says that the pope's health at the present time Is perfect, as it has been for nearly the whole of his long life. His eyesight is so good that be can read without glasses. lie looks fragile, but Is stronger than might be Imagined. He needs but little sleep, not more than three or four hours anight. His mind and memory are in the best condition. Ho Is an indefatigable worker, attending to the dctalU of his worldwide duties every day of the year. What Dr. Lapponl says a Tout the pope's habits of living is very interesting. He Is exceedingly abstemious In his diet for breakfast, a cup of coffee with bread; for dinner, soup, a modicum of meat and a vegetable, with a small glassful cf Bor deaux wine; for fupper, soup with bread and the same quantity of wine. For a man S5 years old. or indeed, for an Intel lectual man at any time cf life, there could not be a better dietary. It Is pleas ant to the. taste; It Is nourishing; It Ls wholesome; it is satisfactory; It l good for the mind. His example.
