QUAINT SAMPLER
Wrought by a Little Girl More than
Two Centuries Ajjo
Quaint and often oddly touching to
au imaginative eye are the elaborate
samplers found in old Xew England
homes with their careful lettering
their curly scrollwork their impossible
flowers birds and garlands the work
of patient little grandmothers and
great grandmothers dead long years
ago says the Youths Companion
Few make so direct an appeal to the
sympathies as a curious sampler of a
little English girl wrought more than
two centuries ago still cherished by her
descendants and recently exhibited at
acharity fair
It is an qxquisite specimen of needle
work despite her youth and is worked
in many colors with floral embellish
ments and elaborate capitals on a
ground of faded green canvas Thus it

Tn the House on Friday a special mes
sage from the President was read rec
ommending that all the revenue collected
on importations from Porto Kico since
the evacuation of the island by Spain
amounting to over S2UUUU0Uj should be
placed at the disposal of the President
for the relief of the island It is as fol
lows
To the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives Since the evacuation of Por
to Rico by the Spanish forces on Oct
18 1S9S the United States has collect
ed on products coining from that island
to the ports of the United States the du
ties Used by the Dingley act and amount
ing to 2004S and will continue
to collect under said law until Congress
shall otherwise direct Although I had
the power and having in mind the best
interests of the people of the island
used it to modify duties on goods and
products entering into Porto Rico 1 did
not have the power to remit or modify
duties on Porto Riean products coming
into the ports of the Uuited States In
view of the pressing necessity for im
mediate revenue in Porto Rico for con
ducting the government there and for
the extension of public legislation just
inaugurated by the House of Representa
tives and for the purpose of making the
principle embodied in that legislation ap
plicable to the immediate past as well as
to the immediate future I recommend
that the above sum so collected and the
sums hereafter collected under existing
law shall without waiting for the enact
ment of the general legislation now pend
ing be appropriated for the use and bene
fit of the island
f
Iu the Senate Mr Hoar made a speech
in favor of the seating of Mr Quay De
bate on the Porto Rican tariff bill con
sumed the rest of the day On receipt of
the message from the President the
House passed a bill placing in the Presi
dents hands all the money collected upon
Porto Rican goods since the Spanish
evacuation to be used for the relief of
Porto Ricans Mr Mann 111 called up
the contested election case of Aldrich vs
Robbins from the Fourth Alabama dis
trict f
Saturdays session of the Senate was
brief on account of the death of Repre
sentative Epes of Virginia Mr Ross
spoke in opposition to the seating of M
S Quay ana Mr Teller spoke iu criti
cism of the conference report upon the
currency bill A number of private pen
sion bills were passed In the House the
chaplain in his invocation made feeling
reference to the death of Mr Epes It
had been intended to proceed with the
Aldrich Robbins contested election case
but unanimous consent was given to va
cate the order heretofore made and post
pone the final vote until the next Tues
day at 230 p m
In the Senate on Monday Mr Carter
of Montana dealt vigorously with the
Quay case in the course of an explana
tion as to why he will vote for the for
mer Senator from Pennsylvania not
withstanding he voted against the seating
of Mr Corbett in the last Congress The
near approach to the time of voting on
the conference report on the financial
bill brought out two speeches on that
measure one by Mr Fairbanks and the
other by Mr Butler In the House con
siderable miscellaneous business much of
a minor character was transacted Dur
ing consideration of a bill to incorporate
the Frederick Douglass Memorial and
Historical Association the Speaker and
Mr Bailey of Texas exchanged sharp
words and the latter filibustered and ul
timately prevented the final passage of
the bill by demanding the reading of the
engrossed bill The bill proposes to col
lect at the residence of the late Frederick
Douglass in Washington a record of the
anti slavery movement
On Tuesday the Senate by a vote of 44
to 2G passed currency reform bill as
agreed upon in conference Received
from Mr Scott a resolution authorizing
the President to govern the Philippines
until Congress shall otherwise provide
The House devoted the day to discussion
of the Aldrich Robbins contested election
case from the Fourth Alabama district
In the Senate on Wednesday a notable
speech on the Philippine question was
t made by Mr Lodge in which he favored
the bill introduced by Mr Spooner vest
ing in the President authority to govern
the Philippines until Congress should oth
erwise provide by legislation In the
House announcement made of the death
of Mr Harmer appropriate resolutions
adopted and adjournment as a further
mark of respect
On Thursday the Senate heard Mr
Foraker in support of the Porto Rican
tariff bill and Messrs Pettus Tillman
and Hoar against it Mr Mason made
his motion to discharge the committee on
foreign relations from further considera
tion of his resolution expressing sympa
thy for the Boers and it went over for
one day under the rules The House
unseated Gaston A Robbins a Demo
crat from the Fourth Alabama district
and seated in his stead William F Aid
rich a Republican who has been three
times a contestant from the same dis
trict on the ground of fraud and who
is now given his seat for the third time
by a Republican House The vote was
a strict party one A new rule was
brought in to set aside the day sessions
on the second and fourth Fridays of each
month for pension legislation The rule
limits debate on each bill to ten minutes
on a side but this provision was with
drawn upon the assurance of Mr Rich
ardson the minority leader that his side
of the House would not indulge in fili
bustering Mr Overstreet Ind in
charge of the conference report upon the
financial bill gave notice that he would
call up the report on the next Tuesday
By uuanimous consent it was agreed that
the vote ou the report should be taken

SMALLPOX DISTRIBUTORS
How the Germs Are Nurtured und the
Disease Is Spread
It would seem tbat people will never
learn to be careful The recent alarm
ing spread of that dire epidemic small
pox throughout different sections of
the country has been traced by physi
cians and sanitarians iu many instances
directly to the moldy and rotting layers
of paper and paste which cover the
walls of many houses The practice of
laying layer after layer of paper on a
wall using common flour paste is espe
cially calculated to create homes for
disease germs People could not do
more to effect such a result if they
tried The rotting vegetable matter
affords caves from which are ready to
dart forth the infection at every oppor
tunity There is no excuse for this
practice as walls and ceilings can be
coated with a pure cleanly and sani
tary material like Alabastine for in
stance at no greater expense Alabas
tine is a rock base cement which in
corporates itself with the wall or ceil
ing It is easily applied comes ready
to mix with cold water requires no
washing or scraping before renewing
or retinting is beautiful long lasting
and safe
For walls that have been infected
nothing is equal to Alabastine as a
disinfectant to render them pjre and
clean and the rooms once more habit

The above illustration shows one of the
mammoth buildings occupied by the great
Mail Order House of the John M Smyth
Company of Chicago
For one third of a century this com
pany has been in business Beginning
in a small way tliey supplied their neigh
bors in the near by towns each year
widening their field They are now sell
ing merchandise direct to the consumer
at wholesale prices throughout the United
States
Some years ago they began supplying
their customers with an illustrated cata
logue As the business expanded they
yere obliged to increase the size of this
catalogue until to day it exceeds 10UU
illustrated pages quoting tie lowest
wholesale prices on everything to Eat
Wear and Use By a superior process of
color photography they illustrate many
of their goods in natural colors bringing
out the rich color value of curtains car
pets draperies and the latest designs in
wall paper etc thus enabling the cus
tomer hundreds of miles distant to select
goods at his own fireside knowing by the
description illustration and price the
class of goods he may expect
This feature of their business is be
coming more and more popular each year
for it not only saves long and tiresome
railroad journeys but is a great time
saver It leaves out the profit of the
jobbing house the retailer the expensive
commercial traveler the general agent
the sub agent and thus eliminates from
one to four profits saving this amount
for the consumer In short it is a great
wholesale store brought to the home The
mammoth catalogue referred to is a 20th
century dictionary of economy
The illustration below shows the recent
building added to this great enterprise
The success of this company seems in
credible considering the fact that they
have advertised so little Their spirit of
fair ness
and indus
try is the
secret of
this won

cess The
