THE EVENING STAR, URDAY, JANUARY 31. WASHINGTON, D.C, SA’ 1891-SIXTEEN PAGES. A peculiar fact with refer- | ence to Dr. Pierce’s Goldep. Medical Discovery is, that, unlike sarsaparillas and other blood medicines, which are said to be good for the blood in March, Aprii and May, the “Discovery” works equally well ail the round, and in all cases of blood-taints or humors, no matter what their name or nature. It's the cheapest blood- purifier sold through drug- gists. Why? Because it’s sold on a peculiar plan, and you only pay for the good you get. Can you ask more? “Golden Medical Discov- ery” is a concentrated vege- table extract, put up in large bottles; contains no alcohol to inebriate, no syrup or sugar to derange digestion; is pleasant to the taste, and equally good for adults or children. The “ Discovery” cures all Skin, Scalp and Scrofulous affections, as Eczema, Tetter, Salt-rheum, Fever-sores, White Sweillings, Hip -joint disease and kindred ailments. Choicest Breakfast Foods. A.

The Senate committee on military affairs has reported favorably the bill introduced by Mr. Manderson providing for the exploration of Alaska by government officials. ‘The bill appropriates €100,000 to meet the expenses of e survey and requires that the necessary scientists be velected from the various branches of the government service. Senator Ingalls, was born in Pennsylvania sixty yearsago. He was the son of a farmer. At the ‘age of fifteen he received a school teacher's cer~ tiffeate, and for his services was paid $16 s ‘month. He left Pennsylvania for the west, and by 1852 had drifted as far west as Indiana, whore he settled down asa farmer. The finan- cia) flurry of 1857 drove him still farther west to Missouri, where he was heard of in 1860 de- livering Union speeches. That sort of talk being unpopular in that section, Mr. Peffer felt called upon to leave Missouri.

It will be remembered that in the our- rent appropriation bill there appears an item of $5,000 to pay for the condemmation of land taken for opening streets. As T street was one of the most important of those needing exten- sion the Commissioners decided to expend the entire appropriation upon this street. Accord- ingly a jury was summoned and they awarded in company F, eighty-third regiment Illinois infantry, was commissioned second lieutenant in May, 1862, and was kept on detached service most of that time, charged with responsible duties, his last position being that of depot tered politics as a republican, being elected to the state senate, in which body he represented Wilson and Montgomery counties. He was chairman of the joint commission of the cen- tennial exposition, which gave Kansas the best advertisement tho state ever had. In 1880 he was one of the republican presi- dential electors, out he then abandoned party politics, and from that time until 1888 he did not deliver more than half a dozen party speeches, and contined himself to tariff exclu- vely.

Special Cable Letter to The Evening Star. Loxpox, Jan. 31.—The strike on the Scotch railway lines, which for all practical purposes may be regarded as having come to an end on Thursday night, lasted for exactly five weeks and four days. Its proportions may be best recognized when the tact, which does not strike one in reading the daily reporte, is made clear that at one time 9,000 servants belonging to the North British, the Caledonian and the Glae- Fow snd Southwestera railways were out. the greatest railway strike which was ever known in England cost the companies £127,000, while the losses of the traders and the men'em- ployed could not be reckoned at less than half amillion sterling. It isa curious fact in the history of English railway strikes that the men haye been invariably beaten or have had to accept a compromise with the masters. Whether in the future this happy condition for the employers will continue when the education of the laborer is accomplished and his mind has been trained sufficiently to see his way as clearly as those whom he serves do, is a point upon which speculation is rife, and this long and bitter strife has set many people discussing the situation. HOW PARNELL ESCAPED TRE O'SHEA. Acurious fact has just happened with regard to the Parnell case. Crowds have recently been observed in Medina place, and every day more and more people have been seen wending their way thither. The object of attraction is the fire escapy by means of which Mr. Par- nell's escape was effectel on the mem- orablo occasion when Capt. O'Shea returned at @u inopportune and unexpected hour. It is merely an iron ladder fastened to the win. dow, but crowds go all the same to stare at it as if it were a celebrated object of art. an ’Arry and his'Arriet make a pilgrimage the spot, and their comments on_ the situation areamnsing if a trifle spiced with inuendo. One youth amused the crowd a day or two by observing to his sweetheart that it would ‘“a bloomin’ good job if there was a ladde= like that onteide the window at her father’s, ‘cause then the old gent wouldn't be such a nuisance.” ‘The commercial aspect of this attractive ob- ject, too, has not been lost sight of and the owners of the house have been offered a large to be erected on Sd street between Gand H|#um for the ladder by » museum pro- pedlrdl jetor, who expects to reap a golden —.
