The democratic congressmen who
attended the St. Louis national con
vention had hardly settled them-
selves in their seats again when the
republican members left for their
oonventiou in Chicago. , All is not
well in congress during presidential
campaigns. Legislation suffers be
cause of the absence of members
and those who remain cannot debate
any question without interlading it
with campaign talk, entirely irrel-
evant to the subject
On Monday, while the District
police bill was under consideration.
Representative Strubble, of Iowa,
arraigned the majority in congress
for giving no attention to the de
nands for temperance legislation,
Jeclaring that it was prohibition or
lubstantial restriction of the sale of
liquor in the District of Columbia
that was needed more than increased
police or police facilities. The com
ii it tee to which the temperance bills
lad been referred was attacked by
Hr. Dingley for its remissness in
ut having reported back these
ueasures. He Raid the arrests for
drunkenness in the state of Maine
wjre not more than one-tenth the
nimber of such arrests iu the Dis-trj-t.

Secretary Whitney, of the navy,
will neither affirm nor deny the
rumored report of his retirement
fiom the cabinet if Mr. Cleveland is
rt -elected iu November. He does
n it deny, however, that he is in ill-
health, and states that had he any
itteution of leaving the cabinet he
would consider it his duty to inform
the president before any one else.
That the secretary has been some
what dissatisfied of late is an open
secret, it having been caused partly
by the quarrel between the line and
s .iflf which shattered the unity of the

Ininor matters, such as the slowness

One of the newest sights of the
capital is the "gospel wagon." It
ii a church on wheels, and is one of
the agencies used by the workers of
the union mission. Kvery Sunday
it passes from one poiut lo auother
where preaching services are held,
ul nearly every evening it carries
christian workers on their evangel
istic trips. Different churches in
the city are interested in the work
of the mission, and their repre
sentatives take part in the meetings
and assist in the missionary efforts
that are being made. Representatives
of a number of the churches have
some oue evening in the week when
they take charge of the "gospel
wagon," and conduct the services
at the several localities in the city
where the services are held. - The
purpose is to reach the class of
people who do not go to church and
whe have no church connections.
The church is in this way brought
to them. The chief field of operation
for the wagon i.t the outskirts of the
city. "It is 20 feet long by 7 feet
wide and 0 and a half feet high. The
wheels are low and of the same size,
so that the box can turn on them,
and all the running gear is unusually
large and strong, having been made
to order just for the purpose. When
on its wsy to meeting, the wagon.
drawn by four horses, looks like a

In the case of Schwab vs. ItijdVy, the

until a succeeding secular day, it is valid.
The unpleasant discovery has been
made that the bones that have been
shipped recently from Caifo to England
for fertilizing purposes and which were
supposed to he those of giraffes, antelojies,
etc., are, many of them, llie laities of

It is claimed that the dominion of
Canada awarded a contract to build a
bridge over the Frazer river on the
Canadian Pacific, at l, 500 ,000 to con
tractor Onderdonk, who sublet the work
to a contracting firm for $400,000, which
in turn let the job to another contractor
for $100,000 who let it for $75,000, at
which figure the bridge was built.

A youthful applicant for graduation at
Lexington, Ky., being asked, the other

swered: "That the United States never

Secretary if War, Kndieott, has
recently made a large purchase of army
blaukets iu England. Just the figure
for it. American manufactures are
ignored because an Englishman bids 30
cents apiece less than the American, and
as the government pays no tariff it thus
gets its supplies a trifle cheaper by so
doing; but the money goes out of the
nation and helps to make the trade bal
ance against lis instead of in our favor.
Mr. Ken nuu gives one a ood idea of
the enormoas size of Siberia by stating
in the Century that its territory would
contain the ITnited States, including
Alaska, with all the states of Europe,
except Russia, and there would still be
300,000 square miles to spare.
A tale comes from the far rorth, above
the Arctic circle, that mammoth carcasses
are found frozen in the ice and that the
Indians chop theiu out aud feed the meat
to their dogs. These carcasses are as
well preserved as if killed but yesterday,
although they have lain for who knows
bow many thousand years in a solidly
frozen state. Undoubtedly these animals
existed coeval with the glacial period and
were iudigcuoua of a tropical climate,
therefore we must reason that this period
came on almost instantaneous; all livjng
animals were tilled by the extreme cold
and before their flesh could putrify, it
became froien and thus it U preserved to
us to-day. Juneau Free Presa

The date of execution for Mrs. M. J.

During the thunder si or m Thumluy
afternoon a bolt of lightning struck u
small barn at the upper end of town and
badly splintered the corner ast besides
otherwise damaging the building. Miss
Annie Hanson, who was standing in the
door of her mother's house about 100
yards distant, was struck by the flahh
and felled to the ground, the blood gush
ing from her mouth. Mrs. Louis
Malone was attracted to the house by the
cries of the other children, she fouud the
girl had risen but was gasping for breath,
she had been hit in the left shoulder and
the led side of her face and head was
burned. Dr. Clark was called and took
charge of the patient who is now nearly
recovered. Mrs. Malone was also
shocked and states she never heard the
report.' Only once before during the
