TO THE MAN WHO THINKS. JOOK yourself squarely in the face and see if you are not half ashamed to be without Ivory Soap in your house. Worse than this, your wife is without it. It is bad enough for a man, though a man often doesn’t care how his comfort is mis-spelled. But a woman misses all these little helps to housekeeping. And Ivory Soap is one; its great potency makes it actually cheaper than yellow soap for general work. It floats. ‘COPYRIGHT 1889 BY THE PROCTER @ GAMBLE 60.

It is said that but for their unsavory name the little ant- mals would be in demand in the game mar- kets of the country. Some years ago, im- ediately after the construction of the Fort Worth and Denver City raliroad through the Panhandle, a young man from Chicago got stranded at Quanah while making hls way from Fort Worth to Den- ver looking for a job. He was waiting to catch a freight train at the little town and took a walk through the surrounding coun- try to kill time pending the arrival of his train. He came upon a large colony of prairie dogs and, being of an inventive turn of mind, and in needy circumstances, the thought occurred to him that the little ani- might be the means of furnishing him & stake. He went back to town and pro- ed to the station telegrapa operator, who happened to have a few dollars saved, that they engage in the business of killing and shipping dressed prairie dogs to the Chicago market In the guise of prairie squirrels. The operator consented to the scheme and a letter was written to a large commission house of Chicago offering a ,¢arload consignment of the animals. The fommission house replied that they would filled with the dressed anima the shipment and urging thi srward.

GENUINE DEMAND FISNERS MENDELSON CU Provision Made for a Line to Hono- Inla—The Work to Be Done Under ‘avy Department's Control. With little debate of importance the Sen- ate yesterday afternoon passed the Pacific cable bill, asmeasure appropriating $3,000,- 000 for the construction of a cable line be- tween San Francisco and Honolulu. The bill was unanimously reported by the com- mittee on naval affairs. The bill provides for a cable from San Francisco to Honolulu, the work to be done under the supervision of the Navy Depart- ment, which has made surveys and deter- mined the practicability of the route. The Navy Department may use any of its ships “SEAL BRAND” Best that can be adapted to the task of laying Hungarian the cable, and if it needs other ships it may charter them. In addition to this it! | Aperient Water provides that the Secretary of the Navy, in : his discretion, if he finds it is not practica- | [Bp@toJel ble to lay the cable by the force of his own department may contract, under specifica- tions and due advertisement, for the con- struction, laying and equipment of the ca- ble. All materials and appurtenances shall be of first-class quality. Section 5 provides that the cable, wires and other Mstruments, materials, appll- ances and appurtenances necessary in the work of laying the cable shall be of Ameri- can manufacture, provided the same can be procured at a cost not exceeding 12 per cent above what the same can be procured for in fore!gn markets. Mr. Hale Explains. Mr. Hale explained that the bill provided only for the building of the cable from San Francisco to Honolulu. This would be, he said, in the nature of an experiment and upon the result of it would depend in a measure the future course of the govern- ment. It might be deemed desirable, in the ght of experience, to start the Philippine cable from some point like Seattle and pro- ceed to Japan by the northern route. Mr. Pettus moved to strike out section 5 of the bill. “Why,” he inquired, “should the govern- ment consent to be taxed on Its own busi- ness for the benefit of certain manufac- turers. It’s an absurdity. Even If you do rob the people by your taxes, you ought not to rob the government.” Mr. Tillman (8. C.) as a member of the naval committee, defended the bill, the re- port in which all the democratic members of the committee had joined. While he was not, he said, a protectionist or in favor of subsidies, he regarded the provision in sec- tion 5 of this bill in the interest of the pgo- ple, as it would be a “sort of nursing bot- tle’ to the industries interested. He deemed it a desirable experiment in gov- ernment ownership and control, and ex- pressed the opinion that it might prove a good thing for Alabama. “Up to this date id Mr. Pettus, “Ala- bama will not accept your bribe. I have seen one great state near mine accept the sugar bottle, and I don’t like it.” Mr. Tillman disclaimed any effort to bribe either Senator Pettus or the state of Alabama, but he was anxious to Increase the struggling iron and steel industries of Alabama and hoped to see the day when a government armor plate factory would be EARNS BUT A DOLLAR A DAY. Yet is Building a House for Himself, Wife and Child. From the Louisville Times. James S. Winebrenmner, a tailor’s helper, of 100 Cabel street, néar Fulton, is demon- strating how a man Can live on wages of less than $1 a day, support his family and at the same time build a house from this income. People passing the corner of Cable street, near Fulton, for a couple of months past, have occasionally noticed a woman on a ladder nailing weather boarding against the sides of an unfinished cottage. On Sundays and sometimes at night a man and a little girl were helping her. A Times reporter, who was attracted by the unusual sight of a woman doing car- penter work on a, building, sought out the owner, who gave the following informa- tion: “I work a3 a tailor’s helper. I have no trade, but help around the store. My health is very poor, and I cannot do heavy manual labor. I now make about $1 a day, but up to a short time ago I only got $3 or $4 a week on account of business being dull. If I drop off I want to leave a home for my wife and little girl. The latter is eight years of age, but she is nearly as large as her mother, who is ‘of slight build. My wife and I planned the building. It is to be a four-room cottage.

It was the pret- located in Alabama. ie tiest boat at the island, and one day Mr. ‘Alabama is not struggling at all." re- ton of Stratton & Terstegge, who torted Mr. Pettus with spirit. Alabama wanted a pleasure boat for the summer time, came along and offered me $140 for the boat. I sold it, and with the money bought the lot where my house is to stand: I then built the shed on the rear of the lot, and my wife, myself and little girl live there. is master of the situation both as to iron and coal.

Had I not been ill { would have had the house finished and paid for long ago. I was taken sick and the doctors said I had appendicitis. They ordered me to Norton Infirmary, where I could be properly cared for and operated upon. I recovered from the operation and now feel all right. Of course, all of this cost me money, and I was thrown behind onsiderably, because all the money I had saved I was compelled to spend for atten- tlon at the hospital and doctors’ bills. By strict economy I have been able to get over the loss I sustained in being laid up in the hospital. Of course, I have kept up my household expenses while I went along with the work on my house.

New York Bartender Charged With Having Stolen Goods. Thomas Blaney, a bartender, was arrested by Internal Revenue Agent Frank Thomp- son in ew York ‘yesterday. Blaney carried & bundle, which, when opened in the Federal building, was found to contain about $10,000 worth of beer stamps. The prisoner was unable to satls- factorily account for these stamps. Blaney was taken before a United States commis- sioner, who held him in $5,000 bail for ex- amination on Friday. The charge against him is having stolen revenue stamps in his possession. Agent Thompson says that he is of the opinion that the stamps found on Blaney will prove to be portions of the pro- ceeds of the robberies in Washington and Chicago. He says that further arrests of importance may be expected. Within the past two months two mys- terious robberies of beer stamps, by which the government lost $16,000, have occurred. One of these thefts occurred while the stamps were in transit between the Treas ry Department and. the General Post Office hington, and the other between the office and the Internal revenue office in Chicago. The stamps stolen in Waah- ington were worth $10,000, and those In Chi- cago $6,000. —______+e- —_____ Matters of Common Knowledge. “Can you tell me if collections of the mail are made today?” asked an elderly man of a young man in a Pennsylvania avenue news store last Sunday. “Yes, there are several collections made in this city on Sunday,” was the answer. “Do you know the hour?” “My friend, in front of this store is a mall box and on the front of it Is to be found a card with the hours of dally collection neatly tabulated.
