No important legislation wai tccom-
pliahed last week in the eenute. Tbe
firnt (our tlaya were devoted to tbe die
cuesion of the anti-oleomargirine bill
and on Thunday adienrnment was
taken until this morning. Tula doe
not mean, however, that tbe aenaton
were Idle, for a large amount of im
portant committee work baa been dis
posed of. Senator Lodge ha practically
completed the Philippine civil bill and
it will be reported to the senate at an
early date. The minority have out-
liuetl their view in what may be pre
sented as a minority report or may be
uaed merely is a baaii on which to con-
teat the passage of the meaaure on the
floor of tbe senate. Senator Proctor 'i
committee baa considered the advisa
bility of presenting a distinct bill pro
viding a tax on renovated or "process"
butter, and of amending the oleomar
garine hill to tb lame effect. Senator
Harris, of Kansas, ii the instigator of
this movement. Senator Allison has
been doing a large amount of work on
the appropriation committee, there
now being four appropriation bills
which bave been tossed by tb senate.
On Thursday, Senator Patterson, of
Colorado brought up the subject of
General Funstou'a capture of Aguinaldo
and read in support of the contention
tbat the capture was not in accordance
with xe principles of civilized warfare,
the major portion of a magazine article
written by the general himself.
The bouse of representative! passed
the army appropriation bill with but one
important amendment. That provides
that the secretary of war may call into
active service those officer! who bave
been retired for disability and have
later recovered from such disability.
The amendment ii aimed at certain
officers who have been retired and have
later 10 far recovered as to be able to
earn competencies outside of the ser
vice. On Friday the house devoted it
self to the pension bills of which there
were a great number on the calendar.
Saturday was devoted to the considera
tion of a bill making various charges in
the revenue cutler service and today the
coniideratlon of the lundry civil hill
will begin. ibis bill provides for a
number of military and other parks, a
large number of pdblic building!, etc.
On Thursday, Representative Richard
son, the democratic leader, I'artled the
house by the introduction of resolutions
calling for the investigation of certain
charges of bribery in connection with
tbe ratification of the'tr.aty effecting the
sale of the Danish West Indiei. These
charges were made in an alleged report of
one Captain Christmas, a quasi agent of
the Danish government. Speaker Hen
derson appointed a committee consist
ing of four republicans and three
democrats to make the investigation.
On Friday tbe full text of tbe alleged
report appeared in tbe Congreasional
Record and a careful reading conveya
the idea that Captain Christmas, with
a view to securing his reinstatement in
the Danish army, from which he had
been discharged, came to thil country to
promote the transfer of the Islands. He
came with the conviction that political
methods in this country were parlicu
larly corrupt ami accordingly aought
corrupt methods of effecting his ends
He appears to have come in contact with
certain members of "the third house
as the lobbyists are called, and they,
leading him to believe that they could
exert great influence with members of
congress, induced him to entertain them
lavishly. His methods becoming known
to me government, which had never
officially authorized him to negotiate
with the United States, he was promptly
discredited and is now seeking to recover
the funds so foolishly expended. The
only serious aspect of the situation seems
to be that Secretary Hay received this
man and at his suggestion pen i tied
representative of this government to ac
company him to t0enliagen, where our
lepresentalive immediately opened
negotiations with the proper officials.
The fact tint Christmas introduced
representative of this government to the
Danish minister of Foreign affair! seems
to be the only valid grounds on which
he can base any claim of Laving partici
pated ia the negotiations. If Secretary
Hay was aware of the existence of
Captain Christmas' report he may he
open to some ciiticism for not having
culled the attention of the senate to
the matter Ix-lore the ratifica
tion of the treaty. The members o( both
bouse of congrers seem to be glad that
tbe matter has been officially called to
their attention as they believe that tbe
investigation will serve to remove any
shadow which the ondenied report
might bave cast on congressional action.
Ueneral Dick, of Ohio, baa made hie
report on the new militia law in tbe
bouse. Speaking on tb ubjct the
general told me recently that his bill
bad the approval of the president and
ANEMIA
is little red in the blood.
The red in the blood is
the oxygen-carrier. Better to
breath with half of one lung
than not have enough red in
the blood.
The blood is full of digested
food ; but it can't build muscle
and nerve and bone without
oxygen.
Scott's emulbion of cod-liver

the secretary of war. The bill provides,
said the gtneral, that practically all able
bodied citizen! between the age of 18
and 45 shall be liable for military duty.
The militia is organized into threeclassea,
the organized militia, the national
volunteer reserve and the reset ve militia,.
The present national guard will be
organized and equipped like the regular
army and will he subject to the call
of the president for a period not to ex
ceed nine month. Wheo so called they
will receive the same pay and allow
ance a the regular troops and will be
subject to the earn discipline. The
equipment of this branch shall be at the
expense of the national government.
Tbe payment of fund to the different
tales and territories, which ha hereto
fore been availall only for equipment,
will hereafter be available for any legiti
mate expenses, but the militia muat
bave fulfilled certain conditions in re
gard to drill, marches, encampments,
etc.
An Important feature of the bill pro
vides tbat officers of the militia, who
ball have been nominated by the
governor and appointed by the
president, ahall be entitled to a course
at a military school or college, ahall
receive the same travel allowance!
and quarter a an officer ot the
regular army and aubslstenco at the
rale of II per day. Militiamen in the
service of the national government will
come under the same provisions in re
gard to pension a the regular troops.
Another provision of tbe bill author
ize the aecretary of war to enroll not
to exceed 100,000 men, who shall have
served in the national guard, who ahall
constitute a volunteer reserve, each en
rollment to cover a period of five year!
Thi reserve (hall be next called Into
service after tbe national guard.

' Noticing a young woman who or
dinarily was neatly dressed coming
out lu some very flue gqwBt lot
street wear, I asked an acquaintance,
soys a Cincinnati Commercial Trib
une, writer, why the change to such
flue raiment, had she come Into ta
Inheritance? No, not at all. She woe
to be married, but the treacherous
man slipped out Just In time to save
the dear girl much future miaery.
And now she Is wearing the robe
which were to have decked the bride.
She Is to be congratulated. She will
have but a brief period to mourn.
The other way It might, and probably
would, have at retched through year

There ere two Portland (Ms.) won

who have recently lost faith iu each
other. They were attending th
meeting of the literary union the
other day, and on emerging from the
hall found a sharp shower In prog
ress. Each announced to the other
that she muat telephone for a car

women met iu a Spring street trol

According to the lloston Tran
script there are now IS Independent
colored churolu-a In lloston, where 30
years ngo It was difficult to support
one. The colored people are not
crowded out ot the white churches,
although very few attend them now,
but they prefer to worship by them
selves. One reason for thi Is that
eduentloii has fitted more colored

Debt Is a woeful burden, except when
you hara estate to more than equal
it. A writer for th
Cincinnati Comma r-
Owe No Maus
AarthlBB. c)a, xribuue gives
the following pertinent instance: At
one time I was treasurer of ths church,
trosteea, and had the temporal affair
in my handa. During my Incumbency
I dsslt with a minister who never asked
tor money, who never for sight year
ever asked m a thing about th money
affair. - At on time I spoka to him
about It, and he told m an experience
something out of ths ordinary. "In
my early daya," he said, "I was sta
tioned st a small chureh near Zanes
vllle. 'The salary was meager, but, at
there were but two, It wa sufficient.
At the end of the year, however, my
wife sud myself found, after taking an
acoount of stock, that we were in debt
to aeveral of the Httle (tores In sums
that aggregated say 130. To both of
u at thu sani time there cam the
iiijunctlou: '0w no man anything.'
There, almost on bended kneea, we
resolved to pay that debt forthwith at
any aacrlfiee, and never again while
we lived to charge even a penny nor
to contract a debt of any form." The
aaluted maa went on; "We war re
ceiving about $31 a month. We had
plenty of nseal, a little smoked meat
and enough potatoes to last ua. On
thoas, witb milk from a neighbor cove
and a few donation, w lived through
January and Februury In perfect hap
piness. By the flrat of Mareb every
cent of the debt wa paid, and that
auded It. From that day to thi w
have never gone Into debt tor any
thing, and, in addition, we hav made
it a rule Jo save something evry year."
need not say that this twain never
needed to ask aid from tb auatentatloa
fund of the eliurehin their last yeara.
They bad enough and to epare, and
when th husband went to hia reat hi
end was serene. II had no anxieties
about the loving wife left behind. Per
haps It is worth while to say in this
oouuectina that, though shlldless,
these friend of mine in my early,
churehly day reared several children
whom they hud adopted. They turned
out well.
It has lately been discovered that
th famoua peroxide aohitlon will
whiten teeth. Th dlacovery la, Indeed,
one of great vain In dentiatry. The
nerve of teeth have frequently to be
killed and the teeth then often turn
black. If they are In tb front of the

only be sorractad by capping tnem
