Mackay's "home after death"' is rapidly neuring completion. The Mackay tomb, or mausoleum, near th Ninth avenue entrance of Ureetiwood cemetery. Brooklyn, will son be com pleted. This structure, which Mr. Mackay has erected after the fashion set by sev eral of New York's prominent men, who built their tombs before they died, ia ow of the noblest in the necropolis. The ap proximate cost will be $300,000. The 'f'vft'VV MACKAY'S "HOUK AFTliB l-KATU." Mackay mausoleum is, within, like a min iature church auditorium. Jio-evkleuces of the real character of the place appear, It is lighted and heated with electricity, and at least fifty persons could attend mass said in its space. Yet m no way Is it catacomb-like. There are twenty- two crypts for bodies. The interior is lined throughout with mrble, with wainscoting of black Belgian cupped with ConnemaTa green. The roof is formed of a tremendous slab of granite the lurjreat ever auarrk-d in this country. It came from Maine, and K dimensions are 22 feet square by 16 Inches thick. Its weight is fifty tons. SAYS REBELLION IS GAINING. The Government of the United State owns In the city Of Washington 1,000,000 volumes of literature. Of these about one half, or 7S7.715, are In the congressional library. The remainder are scattered thromrh the various executive depart ment. The dully number of render la the congressional library average 3,320. About 700 persons. Including tne mem- bers of both houses and high ofllclals of the Government, are entitled to draw books ami tako thorn away from the build, ing, and the average number loaned t lu such a wny Is 1,44(1. It Is a fnvurnble commentary upon the honesty and care of our public men that during a period of thirty years the number of books lost or not returned was only five In a thousand, Large numbers of petitions, supported by many signature and uniform in their phraseology, are being presented to the House of Representatives. Thoy ask tb passage of a series of laws to protect the morals of the public. For example, to prohibit gambling in stocks, produce, rac ing pools and other forms of speculation by telegraph, to prohibit the transmission of stock quotations for speculative pur poses, and the transmission in tne mans of newspapers containing pictures or de scriptions of prise fightB. to prohibit the exhibition of klnetnscope reproductions of prixe fights and1 other brutallsing specta cles, and to prohibit the transportation from State to State of materials for such exhibitions. The ladles of the cabinet are decidedly put ont by the edict that forbade their New Tears receptions and the dinners that were to precede and follow. They do not seeny occasion for It. The i'res Ider.t did hot ask or even suggest a sus pension of social nffHlrs. He told the members of his cabinet he should close the White House for thirty days, although he did not think it was necessary for them to follow his example, but without con stiltSiiB their wives, they agreed to do so, The husbands have since had an unhappy time, and the Washington social world bus offered them no sympathy. The opposition to the ratification of the Hawaiian treaty 1ms simmered down nl most entirely to the sugar trust, the Louis iana planter and the beet-root sugnr manufacturers. There are a few Konutors who oinoe the treaty on principle, as thoy believe it Inexpedient tr the United States to assume the responsibility of gov erning any detached territory, and several on the IH-mocratic side have Joined the opposition because they regard auucxa tion as a Republican measure. Chnlrmnn Loud of the House Commit tee on Postofllce has been working during the recess on the report of the committee on the Loud bill, and has practically com pleted It. Ho believes that the mensure will eff.tt a saving of at least $10,(H)0,OUO annually, nnd will wipe out the enormous deficit that confronts the IVitsofllee De partment every year. Mr. Loud believes the bill is much stronger this session than last, and, while not absolutely confident, thinks It will finally carry. The agents of the Cuban Junta In WaxhltiKton Justify the assassination of Col. Unix as necessary to Intimidate the cowardly and corrupt men In their ranks who arc likely to be allured into mnkm terms with the Kimnlnh authorities elthe through fear or brllery. They say that hereafter no Spanish agent will dare ap proach nn insurgent camp, and that It will be dangerous for any stronger to ao so, The distressing death of Miss Leila Her bert has caused a shock to her many friends and acquaintances in Washing ton. She wn a young woman of beau tiful character, gentle, amiable and gen erous, and was generally beloved and ad mired. Those who knew her best believe that her suicide was due to fear that she might be a permanent cripple. : . Against the probability or possibility of mischance or accident we can never be too sure. But if we should stop to consider how great Is the chance of sudden death, we would be made too timid and unhappy. Is needed not to be foolhardy, and precaution to know whnt is bestUido when an accident happens. One day this winter two men wore walking, and one said: "We're too timid lu treading on slippery nlnrna. 1 tread tirinlv and never think about them, and so escape a full." "Never be too sure, said the other, "it is that that throws you oil' and makes the full the harder. " just t hen they came upon a place covered with tliln snow, whew kltls had been slldliiir. The first sneaker slipped, and came down with his foot turned, and budly sprained his ankle. He was a cripple on crutches until a short time ago, hnvlng nsnd many things without benefit. I'p to that time he had not used St. Jacobs Oil, which, when used, cured him completely, so tluit he walks as usual. There U a probability that for the rest of the season ha will walk uutlouHlv. with the precaution of having this great remedy rcudy fur use. Talus of tb British Navy. It ill InteroHtinii to nolo that tho capi tal value of. the British navy at tho present time exceeds 04,000,000. Tho first coHt of the fleet which led to the downfall of Napoleon was but 10, 000,000. Tho Hoot then comprise! be tween 480 and 490 fighting vessels. California claims the largest boy in the world of his ago. Ilia name is John Dunlin. He is 15 years old, six foot five inches tall, and weight 230 pounds. TKEMENDOl'S KXODl'8 TO TIIK KLONDIKE. km WOMEN MABTYHS." Lota of women suffer constantly, and seldom utter complaint.
