Getting to Sleep.
If you are troubled with lnsomula
lonie of the following Ideas are worth
trying out, as they are certain to ac
complish what seems Impossible of
achievement, wooing sleep successfully :
A warm bath before retiring not a
cold one, for the latter will wake you.
Drink a eup of cool, not Iced, water,
and this will bring good repose. Sleep
with your windows open at the top and
bottom, be it ever so small a space,
so you can Just feci a freeze on yorir
face. Put In your bath a Uttlo bng

Buttons are to be used as trimming
for all the spring dresses, and there
an be no better time than the pres
ent to make them, so that when the
seamstress cornea lu the spring they
will be ready, For Uuen gowns the
buttons' will be covered with linen, but
many will wear crocheted buttons, and
as these are easy to make with
rochet book and coarse cotton, they
might a well be started. First the
button Is covered with linen to match
the suit, then over this Is fastened
loose crocheted mesh. '
4 When VUlt.
When, you contemplate a visit try to
eake it a point to arrive at jour des
tination during the daytime. It la oft
n difficult to local a place at night
nd la embarrassing to the hostess and
mm.
guest. Many women could confess to
their great annoyance at receiving a
card stating that a guest would ar
rive that day and "pleaso meet me at
the train." Possibly there Is not a va
cant room in the house for a guest and
hundreds of trains may come In dur
ing the day, yet the writer never states
what train to meet and the annoyance
of prepnrlng menls and the like makes
a guest of this kind anything but wel
come. Some women swoop down upon
a hostess, never sending word, but an
excuse Is made that she wished to sur
prise them. She does. A woman is a
hospitable creature and entertaining is
one of her delights, hut she does not
wnnt it a compulsory affair and she
wants time to prepare for it. When
you desire to visit a friend write her
relative to your desires, wait for her
reply, prepare for the appointed duy
and go on the train you toll her to
meet, or telegraph any change. A
woman who has no consideration for
her hostess is not deserving of a very
cordial welcome.
Elaborate braiding Is seen on many
of the newest models, both In cloth
and velvet, the narrow soutache being
the most popular. Braiding, combined
with heavy embroidery, is particularly
effective on broadcloth or velvet.
A Jacket showing a decided point
at the front Is one of the styles seen
among the newly arrived linen cos-
DAINTY HOME-MADE
tumes. It Is a pattern carried over
from early winter which had Its share
of popularity among tho more dressy
Jacket suits.
Tiny folds of satin or of taffeta are
used to trim scmldress costumes and
lend themselves admirably to original
effects. They may be applied In broad
ening designs and also In serpentine
lines and short - zigzags on hems and
walstcouts and are also used to frame
motifs.
With tho summer dress will be worn
some pretty ribbon sashes. But these
ribbons will be wide, ethereal In ap
pearance, aud tied lu four loops at the
back. Some of the streamers are also
cnotted a few inches from the eud.
The Idea Is to get a ribbon to match
the delicate weave of the dress.
The smartest dresses worn nt nres-

The handsomest and most expensive
of the stiff collars have Irish lace In

design. Whllo these collars may be
very beautiful, they are less satisfac

A message from the Presidents and re
ports from the committee on military af
fairs on the Brownsville affray consumed
the time of the Senate during tk early
part of the session Wednesday. A brief
debate brought eat a statement by Sena
tor Warren, chairman of the committee
on military affairs, that a bill will soon
be Introduced for the reinstatement of the
discharged colored soldiers of the Twenty-fifth
Regiment under certaia condi
tions. The Aldrieh bill was discussed by
Senator Clarke of Arkansas, who declared
that he would vote for neither the Aldricb
nor the Bailey substitute. After the pas
sage of several bill on the calendar the
Senate adjourned. Persistent assaults on
the postoflice appropriation bill in thl
House resulted in the amplification of
that measure in many Important parts
despite the protests of Chairman Over
street and the committee. The letter car
riers finally won their fight for $1,200
salaries. The House also allowed an ad
ditional $25,000 for clerks In third class
o dices and $15,000 additional for con
tract stations. There were incorporated
in the bill a provision prohibiting the
transmission through the malls of intoxi
cating liquors, which was later modified
to include cocaine and its derivatives. Al
together the appropriations carried by ths
bill were increased $1,220,000.

Senator Lodge of Masachusctts Thurs
day strongly indorsed the Aldrieh cur
rency bill in the Sensf and declared that
it would be serviceable as an emergency
measure. Senator Paynter of Kentucky
opposed the bill. Iteferring to Senator
Depew's recent remarks about "night rid
ers" and barn burning in Kentucky, Sen
ators Paynter and McCreaiy of that
State condemned such lawlessness and
denounced the tobaeeo trust. The post
office appropriation bill had rough sailing
In the House. The attacks were begun
on the section relating to the pneumatic
tube service, which was changed so that
extensions of such service should not be
confined to the cities named, but should
be made wherever the Postmaster General
may think best. The House was a unit
for withholding a portion of the pay to
railroads for transportation of mails un
til a correct system of weighing should
be established. A vigorous but ineffectual
fight was mnde on a proposition to in
crease by $2,000,000 the appropriation
for paying the expenses of railway mail
clerks while traveling on business of the
department.

The appropriation for the rural delivery

The Senate was not in session Satur
day. Members of the House were af
forded nn opportunity, under licence of
general debate, to express their views on
topics of the day. Among other subjects
polities, the recent financial panic, the
tariff and the Sherman anti-trust, law
were discussed while the pension appro
priation bill technically was under con
sideration. Among the speakers were Mr.
Hamlin of Missouri, who placed on the
shoulders of the Itepublicans the responsi
bility for the recent panic; Mr. Lnngley
of Kentucky, who wanted pensions grant
ed certain persons in Kentucky who aided
In suppressing the rebellion, and Mr.
Hughes ot New Jersey, who desired the
Sherman anti-trust law amended so as
to work less hardship on labor organiza
tions.
Under the guise of discussing legisla
tlon the session of the Senate Monday
was devoted to a political discussion, in
which Senator Tillman of South Caro
lina and Senator Beveridge of Indiana
were the chief participants. The confer
ence report on the Indian appropriation
Mil was disagreed to and another confer
ence asked. The House bill appropriat
ing $403,030 to pay the archbishop ot
Manila, as representative of the Uoman
Catholic Church, for damage to church
property during the Spanish war, was
passed. The session of the House was
devoted to the consideration of bills un
der susnension of the rules. A number
were passed, including one providing for f
the restoration of the motto, "In God We
Trust." on American coins and another

Apparently Demented Man Is Lured
to Restaurant, Where Officers
Quickly Disarm Him. ,
An anknewn anarchist entered the
Merchants' National Bunk of Omaha,
demanded a large sum of money,
and displaying a bottle believed to con
tain nitroglycerin, threatened to blow
up the bank If his request was not com

The man entered the bunk soon after
the doors were thrown open nnd asked
to see Ylee President Luther Drake
In his prlvnte office. Mr. Drake seated
himself opposite the stranger, who be
gan talking In a rambling manner
about having had $5,000 In the National
Bank of Commerce In Kansas City
when that bank failed.
"And since all you fellows are In to
gether, you had just better bund me
over my money, or I'll blow you and
this bank and all of us to ," sud-
lenly aald the anarchist, producing a
three-ounce bottlo containing a thick
yellow liquid.
"Don't you make a move," he added.
"This Is filled with nitroglycerin. If
you mova you are a dead man."
"You don't want to die yourself, do

"Oh, yes, I came in here ready to
die," responded the stranger, "but wbeu
I die I'll take everybody in this build

Noticing that the man seemed thin
and pinched, Mr. Drake asked If he
wasn't hungry.
"I have been studying over this mat
ter for severul days and have not
eaten a thing for forty-eight hours," an
swered the man with the bottle.
"Well, let's go have breakfast and
talk this over," proposed Mr. Drake.
"All right, but don't try any mon
key business or you are a dead man,"
replied the anarchist.
President Hamilton of the bank en
tered the next room during the conver
sation and heard enough of it to enable
him to know what was going on. As
Mr. Drake and the stranger left the
room together. Mr. Hamilton telephoned
the police for detectives and followed
the two men to a near-by restaurant.
Mr. Drake and the stranger were on
opposite sides of the table when three
detectives, accompanied by Mr. Hamil
