training of the force, with special re
ports as to the capacity and attainment
of the individual officers. >

open the term. The court calendar in

struction and at the top as to efficiency
in management. The Havelock shops
are among the largest in the west and

REPRESENTATIVES EXPRESS THEIR
VIEWS ON THE RESOLUTIONS.
WILL VOTE ON MONDAY.
Immedlit.1; After the Reading of the
Journal the Cuban Resolutions Will
Be Disposed of—Mr. Adams of
Pennsylvania, Charges the
Senate With Filibuster
ing Against Cuba.
Washington, April 6.—In the House
to-day Mr. Adarhs of Pennsylvania, of
the committee on foreign affairs,
was the first speaker on Cuban resoln
tions. He said that he should have
refrained from addressing the House
further on this question but for the
“extraordinary performance of the
gentleman from Maine (Mr. Boutelle)
yesterday.” Referring to the charge
that the people were not behind the
effort of Congress to grant proper rec
ognition to Cuba, he asserted that
Congress had seldom before received
so many petitions on any subject as
this, lie contended that a handful of
Senators had taken advantage of the
rules of the Senate to prevent the
adoption of the conference report by
filibustering. The Cubans had an or
ganized form of government and were
in every way entitled to recognition.
Mr. Knox of Massachusetts was rec
ogmzeu 10 reaa a letter Irom bis
colleague, Mr. Draper, a member of
the foreign affairs, committee, oppos
ing the adoption of the conference
report He said that he differed from
Mr. Draper and made a plea for
affirmative action. He thought meas
ures should be taken to put an end to
the barbarous warfare and that for
this oouutry to fail to do this would
be to incur the loss of self-respect as
well as to deserve the contempt of all
foreign nations.
The House then decided to hold a
night session for debate on the Cuban
resolutions and to vote Monday after
the reading of thd journal.

BURGLARS AT THE CAPITOL
A Bold Attempt to Break Into Senator
Quay's Desk.
Washington. April 6.—The Senate
committee room on public buildings
and grounds was broken into last
evening, and an unsuccessful attempt
made to break into Mr. Quay’s desk.
The iron bolts fastening the doors at
the top and bottom were pried out of
the sockets, showing that strong tools
had been employed.
It is believed by the senator that an
attempt was made to get possession of
his political papers, but, even if the
desk had been opened, the political
papers would not have been obtained,
ns they had all been removed to Mr.
Quay’s house a week ago. Nothing
else in the room was disturbed.
About a year after the election of
1888 Mr. Quay’s desk was robbed of all
his political papers, and they have
never been recovered. They were not
important, as they were what the
senator termed “trash left over which
might well have been destroyed.”
The W. C. T. U. With Hughes.
Chicago, April 6.—The officers of
the W. C. T. U. have sent a telegram
to Senator Frye to be presented to the
Secretary of the Interior protesting
against the removal of Governor
Hughes of Arizona and urging a thor
ough investigation. The reason for
this is “Governor Hughes’ well known
championship of temperance in all
questions of reform.” The state
presidents of the W. C. T. LI. are being
urged to wire similar requests to their
senators.

United States minister, have been the
means of establishing.

Reproductions of Kinetosrope Pictures
Cast Life-Like on a Screen.
I New York, April 6.—Thomas Edison
was in a very happy mood when seen
in his laboratory in West Orange last
night. He had about completed an
other machine, which lie calls the
“vitascope." It is an improvement of
the kinetoscope, and Mr. Edison says
he has no doubt that it will prove to
be a success.
The vitascope throws on a screen
by means of bright lights and power
ful lenses the moving life size figures
of human beings and animals. Last
night in the big foundry building ad
jacent to the laboratory the machine
was rigged up and a very satisfactory
exhibition was made.
The first picture shown on the
screen was a colored panorama of a
serpentine dance by Anabelle, who
posed before the kinetoscope last sum
mer. The film roll on which the pho
tographs were attached was arranged
over a half dozen spools and pulleys,
and when the machine was set in mo
tion the dancer’s image appeared upon
the screen, as if in life. The original
photographs, as taken by the kineto
graph and developed on the roll, are
about the size of a special delivery
postage stamp, and to produce a pic
ture life size are magnified about 600
times.
Mr. Edison expects shortly to be.
able to so improve the phonograph
that he will be able to take records
much longer than now and the vita
scope and phonograph will be so com
bined that it will be possible for an
audience to watch a photographic
reproduction of an opera and hear the
music at the same time.
BARKER FAVORS A BOLT.
The Philadelphia Sllverlte Call* for a
Union of White Metal Advoates.
Denver, Colo., April 8.—The Eocky
Mountain News has received the fol
lowing message from Mr. Wharton
Barker of Philadelphia:
“Philadelphia, Pa., April 3.—This
action of the Manufacturers' Club,thic
weak straddle, taken with the declar
ation of Mr. John Converse, candi
date for president of the club: ‘I
am for the single gold standard,’
convinces all those bimetallists
who have hoped to see the Re
publican party adopt a straightouf
plank for the restoration of silver to its
old place—16 to 1—by independent ac
tion of the United States, that the
friends of silver remonetization must
abandon that hope. As the Demo
cratic party is not likely to do better
than the Republican party, it is the
duty of those of all parties who do
not hold principle subservient to po
litical expediency and who put patriot
ism before partisanship, to come to a
common understanding with each
other, unite on a common policy, join
in the promulgation of a definite
policy and unite and at once organize
for political action. The several con
ventions called to meet at St. Louis
will, of course, ratify any action the
plain Deople agree in demanding.—
Wharton Barker.’’

The Business of (he Island Paralyzed
by the Rebellion.
Havana, April 0.—The total amount
of sugar made m Cuba this year will
not exceed 130,000 tons. This enor

the district, but the Republican vote
was largely cast for Goodwin. Ac
cording to the returns the vote was:
Cobb, 10,051; Goodwin, 9,803. Allega
tions of ballot box stuffing and intimi
dation were made. Cobb is now serv
ing his fourth term in Congress. He

INSOMNIA
WHAT IT MEANS TO LOSE THE
POWER TO SLEEP.
A Young Btiltlmorc Woman Whose Nerves
Fro vented Her From Resting.
From the Herald. Baltimore, Md.
Mrs. Jessie Shea Is a young married
Woman whose tidy home Is at 855 West
Lexington Street, Baltimore. For many
months Mrs. Shea was a terrible suf
ferer from a nervous affection which
resulted In general debility and super
induced that ofttimes incurable mal
ady, insomnia. A Herald reporter
called at her residence recently and
was shown Into the neatly furnished
parlor and told that Mrs. Shea
would be down in a few min
utes. Soon a light step was heard'
tripping down the stairway and
Mrs. Shea, radiant with health and the
vlgor of young womanhood, entered
the room. When asked if she had used
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, with a smile
which betokens the utmost satisfac
tion, the young lady replied "Yes, I
have used them, and had I not heard of
them I doubt if I would have been here
to answer your call.”
Continuing, she said: "About two
months ago I had an attack of what
the doctors termed nervous prostration.
My appetite left me entirely and what
little sleep I got, and it was very lit
tle. I assure you, was not by any
means refreshing. On the contrary,
when I awoke from a nap I had such
a tired and exhausted feeling that I
was loth to try to ,ret to sleep again. I
continued to lose flesh day after day
until I was almost a shadow compared
with my former self.
“As soon as I began to take the Pink
Pills I commenced to improve. I am
no longer troubled with nervousness.
I have a good appetite, experience none
of the feelings incident to indigestion,
and I sleep as sound as a healthy child.
The pills are certainly all they are rep
resented to be, and, as I believe I owe
my life to the fact of having used
them, I shall always cheerfully recom
mend them to my friends and other
persons whom I And to be suffering
from similar maladies.

essary to give new life and richness to

A tested cough mixture recipe comes
from an English lady. It is palatable
and very effectual. Boil three large
lemons in water seven minutes, drain
off the water and slice the lemons as

brown sugar and stand the bowl on
the stove until the mixture is at boil
ing point. Then draw to the back of
the stove and let the mixture simmer
three hours. Remove from the fire, and
When it has stood half an hour add
snvall tablespoonful of oil of sweet al
monds. It is to be used warm. Stir

To make a wax fer polishing hard
wood floors cut one pound of- beeswax
into small pieces, put them in a dish
and place it over the fire in a pan of
hot water. Allow the wax to melt and
then stir in three pints of turpentine.
When the ingredients have thorough
ly blended, place some of the wax on
a woolen cloth and rub it on the floor,
treating one board at a time and rub
bing lengthwise. Then cover a heavy
brush with flannel and with it rub the
floor until it is perfectly smooth. It
is usually the case that some parts of
the floor are subject to more wear than
others. When the polish has worn
off in these spots warm the wax and
apply to the worn places and then
polish.
