The interstate commerce commis sion has with becoming gravity de clared that celery i a ve;retaBle and not a fruit. The only objection the New York World offers to an extra session of concp-ess is the fact that it will inter rupt the literary labors of Hon. Tim Campbell anil defer the publication of his norel on New York society. E. M. Gadsdex. of Atlanta, Ga., has been appointed superintendent of the money order system of the post oflice department, vice C. E. Mac Donald, resided. The latter is the father of the money order system and has been at its head since its incep tion in 164. The speaker of the Illinois house, Hon. Clayton E. Crafts, was governor of Illinois the whole of Wednesday. Gov. Altgeld was out of the state, having been called to Mansfield, O., by the death of his mother, and Lieut. Gov. Gill is in California. Mr. Crafts, by the constitution was gov. ernor for the dav. Qiixcv Herald: William Penn Nixon signed the petition for the anarchists' pardon. He is editor of the Chicago Inter Ocean. The Inter Ocean fumes and froths with pre tended indignation over Altgeld'a action in pardoning them. Now did William Penn really mean it when he asked the governor to pardon them, and is this pseudo-froth for po litical effect, or if not, what? It looks as thongh Utah will be ad mitted to statehood by the next con gress, although the reported raising of 1,000,0 0 by the Mormon church to secure that end is undoubtedly a canard of the worst type. Utah has been knocking for admission into the Union as a state for a long time, and it is generally conceded at Washing ton that its wish will soon be grati fied. Former opponents of the terri tory have changed front on the ques tion, as the fear that polygamy would thereby be placed beyond the reach of federal authority, seems to have been largely removed from the minds of the leaders in-con"Tes6. The Speaker and Springer. Chicago Timer. It is estimated in dispatches to the Times from Washington that in the creation of committees of the present house Mr. Crisp, who will undoubt edly be elected speaker, proposes to substitute for Mr. Springer, of Illi nois, as chairman of the committee on ways and means, Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia. The Times recognizes in the West Virginia a man well equipped, es pecially if it is the purpose of the democratic party to redeem its prom ises at the Chicago convention in reference to tariff legislation. "The name of Mr. Springer," says the Times correspondent, "will probably be presented to the speaker by friends of the Illinois congressman, but the present plan involves drop ping him, and the fact that he is in ill health will be urged as a reason for substituting Mr. Wilson." Mr. Springer was a candidate for apcaker of the last house, entering against Mr. Crisp and other contest ants. That Mr. Crisp was success ful was due largely to the action of Mr. Springer and his friends. In the performance of a public duty consid erations of friendship have no place, but human nature is frail and these abstract declarations ought not to count where friendship works no detriment to the public interest. Mr. Crisp owes much to Mr. Spring er, and ought not to disappoint a reasonable expectation upon Mr. Springer's part that he shall be prop erly recognized. If it is true, however, that Mr. Springer's health is no better now than it was at the last session it will be a relief for him to be free of the onerous duties of the chairmanship of the committee on wave and means. Queerest ot Fight. A remarkable fight occurred lately in North Carolina near the South Carolina line. Two men, named Trout and Hutchins, were removing a beehive, about which they wrapped a cloth. Two men named McDaniels met them, and a quarrel and fight followed. Hutchins stripped the cloth from the hive and, placing it over his head, held the hive in front as he ad vanced toward the McDaniels. Bees poured ont and savagely attacked the latter, who had to retreat One of them shot Hutchins in the shoulder, but he advanced with his novel Gatling' gun, and, aided by the bees, drove the McDaniels over the line into South Carolina. UN!On 6UA5Et IDENTIFICATION. Caahton of Haaks That Go Throat, a Great Deal of "Red Tape." Ea&k castiers and tellers are rnvari Vly ffrat sticklers for identification. Even when -.heir judgment, added by some pecnlfcvT circumstance, tells them that an atrxriute personal identifica tion is unne :essary, they insist on go ing through the form. A gentleman of high cht racter, who lives in New York found himself obliged to get i drajt cashed at a bank in a small New England to vn some time ago. The town was the place of the gentleman's early home, and he was known and re spected by a '.most every resident. But the teller, after glancing at the sig nature on the draft said briskly: "You will have to be identified." "Don't you know me?" asked the presenter of the draft. "No. sir," replied the teller. "Well, I ata acquainted with pretty nearly ererybody in town," said the gentleman. "There is Mr. H -," mentioning the same of the leading merchant of the place, whose store was a few rols from the bank. "All right," said the teller, oblig ingly, "I will go over there with you," and locking the money drawer, he put his hat on and walked across the street with vae presenter of the draft The merchant was sunning himself in the doorway of his Btore. "Say, do you know this man?"' asked the teller. "Yes, sir, I an proud to know him," was the quid reply. Without another word the teller returned to the bank and cashed tl e draft The New York man, conside.-ably amused, asked, as he pocketed the money: "Is that what you cat an identification? Why, you did not even ask Mr. n what my name was." "Oh, that's all right," answered the teller, genial'.y; "I just wanted to find somebody who knew you." RACING FOR A MEAL. How a Clay Bank" none Foaled IXIa Driver and Xanched ny. It was an eld clay bank cart-horse that drew a cowd and made his driver lose what religion he ever had in Philadelphia, the other morning. The animal evidently had but lit tie or nothing to et for .several days, and his actions dc monstrated that he was going to get Lis fill while there was a chance. A wagon 1 ed with hay was on the car track ahead of the clay bank horse. The .day bank scented the hay, and though the cart was ladca with bricks, smarted after the fodder at a speed that would have warmed the hearts oi Gloucester's habitues. The driver pi lied the reins and the clay bank ran and the faster his speed the nearer can e the quarry. The driver on the hay wagon heard the noise of clattering hoofs and shouting of the crowd behind, and he whipped up his team, evident y fearing t hat destruc- , tion was on b.s heels. The race for two squares was excit ing and the crowd became larger and the clay bank kept up his speed in such a fashion that he soon forced his head deep in the hay. The crowd cheered and still the driver said words that mijrht hare set fire to the hay, and pulled on the lines to try to induce the clay bank to leave the unexpected meal, but in vain. Finally the hay wagon came to a stop and the c'.ay bank seemed to ap preciate it, for he munched the dried grass for nearly five minutes before he could be persuided to leave it When, he drew out of the track he turned his head around to the crowd and delib erately winked, as much as to 6ay that he had fooled the driver that time and got a meal into the bargain. Made Him I onbt of OmnUcienea. A little hoy, son of the mast exem plary parents, wanted a bicycle, and kept the matter constantly before the conderation of the family purchasing agent His mtl-ier told him to pray for the desired gift and that night a retition was sent up in the most per suasive of chiliish voices. While the little fellow slept a tricycle was smuggled into his room and placed be side his bed. In the morning the father and mother were concealed within hearing to learn how the little hopeful would accept the answer to his prayer. H rolled over, fastened his staring blui; eyes upon the miracu lous appearance, and in a surprised tone said: "Duod dracious, Mr. Dod, don't you knov the difference 'tween a bicycle and a tricycle yet?" An Inipt esalonlKt Sketch. One of the good deacons of a certain church is also the superintendent of the Sunday schuol, and although he is r.ot aD artist h; frequently illustrates points in the lesson by the use of the blackboard. Having drawn the rep resentation of a clown one Sunday, much after the stereotyped style of all such, appendages, he said "Now, which or.e of tie little folks can tell me what this is .'"' Several raised their hunds, but the superintendent's eye was caught by a little fellow in the front scat "Veil, Johnnie, you may tell." Proud oi his distinction above bis fellows the boy rose smilingly and shouted: "A pin cushion." What Cnred Him 7 Disturbed, distorted; with pain oppressed.

Tet Hl Methods Are Allee Samee SI ei lean Mas." A Chinese traoip is indeed a rare creature, and there is apparently only one in Gotham. In appearance he is not unlike the regulation class, but presents a re markable contrast when compared with his own countrymen. The queue has been detached from his head, and as a substitute he wears a pompadour. Not a particle of Chinese apparel is on his person. lie lounges about Mulberry street and Park row and leans against an iron post awaiting some philanthropic pal to give him a "blow off." As soon as he sees a tramp who is verging on intoxication he unhesitat'ngly intro duces himself as an old friend'' of his, and then proceeds to relate some piti ful yarn which usually finds a respon sive cord. His newly-found acquaintance will quietly accede to his wishes for some beverage to quench his thirst, and one is followed by another, and this in turn by another, until the Chinaman feels somewhat tipsy. This is his routine work, and at the conclusion of the day he has a "jag"' to be proud of, from a tramp's point of view. Inquiries as to what was conducive for him to join the "ranks" yielded nothing beyond a plausible story, which was obtained from a "puller-in" who is stationed in the neighborhood. He said: "This Chinky has probably bucked some fan-tan game an 1 lost all he had, and then, believing his fellow-men conspirators and treacherous people, became despondent and resolved to take to drinking." OUT OF TOWX. Remarkable Success bv Physicians of Scott Medical Institute. Their Prescriptions Are Not "Mis tits'' They Have no "Free Medicines. The citizens of Davenport, Rock Island. Moline and vicinity have learned many things regarding the successful practice of medicine through the physicians of the Scott Medical Institute. The physicians take special pleasure and gratifica tion in the knowledge that two im portant facts have become so deeply rooted in this community that is professionally they are beyond as sault or reproach and that When they say "cure" it means C-U-R-E and not simply a benefit or relief for a few davs. E. A. HARDING, Til Sevtnth Street, Muscatine. Iowa. Mr. E. A. Harding can sum his tes timony up to occupy but one word and it'is spelled C-U-R-E-D. "I thought I would never be" cured as I have had catarrh for 3 years. I had pain over the eyes and back of the head and my 'head and nose would fill up so I had to breathe through my mouth. The mucous would drop into the back of my throat and caused stomach trouble. I had a very badj odor from my nose and throat and my bronchial tubes became filled up ami sore. "My voice got very husky and I was tired and languid all the time. My eyes became so bad I could scarce ly read, my headache was almost un endurable. I am now well and nev er felt better in my life. No head ache, no cough, no more breathing Yhrough my mouth, no soreness through the lungs, which used to be very severe. I know that I am CIKEI."' Dr. Wilson wishes to state here that no case will be accepted for treatment where a complete cure can not be given. ?5 A MONTH ! All patients will be treated until cured for $5 per month.

A recent discovery Is that headache, dizziness, dullness, confusion of the mind, et?.. are due to derangement of the nerve centers which supply the brain with nerve force; that Indigestion, dyspepsia, neuralgia, wind !n stomach, etc., arise from the derange ment of the nerve centers supply in; these or pans with nerve fluid or force. This Is likewise true of many disease of the heart and lunzs. The nerve system u like a teiecraph t-ystm, as wi:i be seen by the accompanying I U1. j uv uiue white lines are the nerves which convey the nerve f r-e from the rerve centers to every part cf the bod v, lust as tho electric current Is conveyed alon? the tcletrraph wires to every station, lanre or small. Ordinary physicians fail to resard this fact; Instead of treat ing the nerve cen ters for thecau-e of the disorders arising therefrom they treat the part affected. Franklin Miles, M. I)., LL. B., the hiphiy celebrated specialist and student of nervous diseases, and author of many noted treatise on trie latter subject.
