At the main term­ inals are erected four laige cleansing tanks 54 feet high by 25 feet in diame­ ter. In the center of each tank is ra large standpipe open at the top and bottom. The large tanks are connected to work in pairs and are clustered about a five-foot standpipe through which the sewage is forced to a smaller fifth tank, the lower part of which is on a leyol with the tops of the large receivers. As the sewage, in its passage through this apparatus, reaches the small central tank it receives a quantity of a disin­ fectant chemical. The quantity of the chemical used is gauged according to the volume of waste passing through the pipes, which pass from the disin­ fecting tank to the central standpipes in the large tanks. As the fluid maes reaches this standpipe the current is sb sluiced by the quantity of water In the receivers, amounting to some thousands of barrels, that it is practically rendered stagnant by the time it reaches the bot­ tom of the pipe and seeks its level in the fluid surrounding. This gives the solid portion of the waste, which is al­ ready being precipitated by the action of the chemicals, time to settle, leaving a perfectly clear, supernatant liquid. A second set of sluices leads from tbe tops of the receivers and into pipes conveying to a large escape main, which conveys tbe fluid into the lake. At the bottom of the receivers are plactd valves, which open into pipes leading to a compressor. Through these pipes the sediment is drawn and pressed dry by a hydraulic apparatus. The result­ ing material is immediately cremated. Thus every vestige of disease-producing waste is destroyed. The llliin IlnMrtinr.

The membe s of the Bepublican House Wednesday morning captured Repre­ sentative Hall by force' and turned out tho Populists. They are now in pos­ session, and Gov. Lewe ling has ordered out the State militia to eject them. There 1^ great excitement and a riot is imminent. The Populists, who have had possess­ ion of the hall in the afternoons, ad­ journed yes'erday until this afternoon, and, as ha^ been the custo n since the beginning of the session, the Republi­ cans expected to bold their reg ilar morning session 10-dAy. But last night the PopulUts 6wore in a large num­ ber of assistant tergtants-at-arms, who we e placed on guard, and the doors and entrances to the hall were locked this morning. No one was admitted to the hall excepting Pop­ ulists and me.i bers o* the press, and they were required to show a pass and run the gantlet pf a dozen guards. The Republicans were fully informed of all these preparations to exclude them from the hall, and last night a hundved men were fcwoi n in as deputies. ' At ife o'clock the members of the Re­ publican House, with their officers, started from ^eadijuartere for tho State House. Tbe inarch through the long corridors leading to liepreseufatlve Hall was unimpeded and the little column forced its way through th« line of guards at the foot of .the stairs in the west wing and staffed up the stairs. On the first landing was a. crowd of Populist House officers under command of Adjt. Gen. Artz. They We e armed, and $he advancing Republican crowd was met with the muzzles of revolvers and Winchesters. The Adjutant General commanded the.&ep.iblicahs to halt, but no. stop was mode, and the advance. guard pushed into the crowd o' Populists. Thr e or four of thsfhi succeeded; in passihg the doorkeepers after a brief struggle and getting into the hall, bat the Populists succeeded in closing the door and tar­ ring it. The Republ cans oh the; outside de­ manded admittance, and when it was denied them Speaker Bpitglass swung a large sledge ha aimer and began to bat­ ter down the henvy doors leading from the cloak-room. It took many blpws to beat a pass-age-way through, but the doors finally gave way and the Republi­ cans legislators surge 1 in with a loud shout. The Populists retreated, leav­ ing the Rej uolican-i in lull possession cl the hail. Ever since the opening of the session tbe Populists, have had the committee rooms, Sergeant-at-arms' room and Chief CUerk'p room. These were all locked and guarded from the inside, 1 ut after the House had been called to or­ der the Republicans battered down the doors and took possession of them with­ out encountering any resistance. The Republicans and Populists are both swearing in officers as fast as possible to be in readiness for any emergency. Called Oat tt>e iriiop*. With the Republicans in possession of Xtepiesentative Hall the interest of the Populists cente: ed about the Governor's offices, and a guard was placed at his door. He issued a call for three compa­ nies of militia .immediately after the clash in Represen utive Hall to storm the hall and take 1 ossession of it. Many of the milit!amen declare t^iat they will under no circumstances respond to the call of the Governor, and tha* they will not be a party to an assault on the Republican House. The Goyernor made a demand on the sheriff to snwar in deputies and assist him in preserving tho peace, but the sheriff declined, 'say­ ing thatnhe did not propose to be a^ judge as to which of the- claimants was the legal House of Representatives. In a letter to the Governor he said that if ibe Governor, proposed to protect the Dunsmore House, that House itself had full authority to enlist all the officers that it required to protect itself without any assistance from him. Over two hundred men took the oath of office as assistant sergeants-at-arms in the Republican House this morning, and the Adjutant General was busy deputizing assistants all day for the Populists. Populists sa>* thoy will take possession of Representative Hall at all hazards, and Republicans say that they , will not yield even at the point of tho bayonet.

Nothing is so sure to keep a farmer poor as to make good crops and feed his surplus to scrub stock. An English farmer would abandon his farm altogether if he was compelled to usfe such ntock as is kept on mijiny farms in this coun­ try. There is no reason for the keeping of scrubs, as Shales from pure bred herds or flocks can be pro­ cured at a very nominal cost com­ pared with the advantages gained.

Among other questions, the doctor asked, "How long a time do you usually spend at dinner?" ••I dunnoexactly," replied the pa­ tient; ' ten or fifteen mintites, I guess." , "Does your food taste good?" Doc­ tor ft asked. ••That it does," was the reply, "but half an hour after I've eaten I'm near dying with distress." • "Do you drink much with your food--tea, coffee, or water?" "A pretty considerable amount," answered the man. ' Yours is a graye case," isaid^L Mi© doctor, sbut I can help you if you'll follow,ray directions." Doctor B- gave the man a dark- colored mixture in a bottle and said. "Now, it is of the utmost impor­ tance that this medicine" be taken properly. Put a teaspoonful into your cup of tea or coffee at each meal; stir it in thoroughly, and with each rn mthful of food take a very small sip. and then chew, chew,chew, in or­ der to mixit completely with the food. - Do this and report to me in a week." Two weeks later I saw this dys- peptic again, but I scarcely recog­ nized him, he was so much improved in looks. < "That mcdicine of yours works like a charm, ' he said to the doctor. ' '1' ve utiout forgotten that I have a stomach.'? "That's good," responded Doctor B- . ••Continue taking it in the same way for three months,and you'll be a well man." 1 -- •; Then, as the'man Wfebt $1$, JDb®- t o r H -- -- s a i d t o m e : - i "The whole story of 'that man's cure is in the word mastication. It is fnerelv what I said to him-- chew, ehew, chew. But he wouldn't ha\e believed it without the medicine,' which was the simplest. The man was bolting his food, and I stopped it. -I've cured hundreds ot dyspeptics in a similar way. Indeed, most dys­ peptics might cure themselves if they wouKl-giVe e*ery tooth a chance-- thirty-two bites to a mouthful, with two for every tooth missing." Deceived by Appearance*. f.: Dr. J. F. Mines, writing of the New York of his boyhood, says that it would not do in those days to judge of the prosperity of a business house by its surroundings. Undoubtedly the same caution is applicable to the present time also. Even now line feathers do not inake fine birds. Dr. Mines adds a story told him many years ago by .lehiel Post, whose father and uncle were in business in Williams street Their office and store--in which they kept only samples--were as bare and comfortless as an empty barn. It happened that a country mer­ chant bad received a note of theirs in course of trade, and as he was in the city he thought it wouid do no harm to look them up and find out how they stood. On entering the store he was as­ tonished to find their stock apparently very low, and everything bearing the appearance of a lack of business. In some alarm he-entered the baoitofflce, and was still more disheartened by its appearance of poverty. At last he mustered courage to remark that he held a note of the firm. "Very well," answered the senior Jehiel, "it will be paid when due." This did not satisfy the country­ man, and be ventured to inquire if the firm would not discount the note. -We don't do business in that way," was the cold reply. "But, gentlemen." stammered the roan, "I'll take off ten per cent, for cash--yes," with a birst of terror, "I'll take off twenty." "Brother Jehicl,doyou hear that?" wMsoered the other partBer, "let's t^ike him up." . ^he bargain was made and tbe check drawn. "Now," sakl one of the brothers, "if you please, tell us the meaning of this strange transaction." The countryman made his confes­ sion, and the brothers roared. They were vastly moie tickled h^the joke than by the profit. Calling oqe of the dorks, they sent him wit.i the visitor to the bank where the note was to be paid, and there the man was informed by the cashier that he would cash the check of the linn any day for fifty tnousand dollars. ^ First Woman tn RtiiMla»:t .. Frau R.-P. Susslon, the first Prus­ sian woman to take the degree of Doctor of Medicine, recently cele- brated the twenty-fifth anniversary of that event. Frau Hussion ijt the daughter of a wealthy peasant of Nis:nrii Novgorod, who was able to afiord Ills clever daughter a good ed­ ucation, and sent her to a girls' school at Moscow. Thence she went to St Petersburg* where she passed all the lieces^iiry examinatjois, but was not allowed as a woman to ta^ce her 'degree. Kothin^ daunted, she went to Switzerland, where she took h?r degrees as doctor of medicine and surgery, and since theu hu4 practiced^ in Kussia. ^ MEASURES CONSIDERED AND V ACTED UPON-"5'" V'T- mm Why Named. Trivial circumstances give namss to children. A gallant Irish soldier was the father of two girls, named respectively Jane and Ph^be. Some one asked him why he had selected ibe latter name, and' he replied: ' . ••Well, sorr, ye see our oldest was born in January, so we called her Jane; and the other was bora in. Feb­ ruary, so we called her Faybie." The story would be batter 6till if thero had been a third daughter, born in March and tu rned, of course, Marcia. - • TIIE attention a man should pay to the criticisms about himself, he al- wayvpays to those who criticise him. / i> ' At OM lVaUon'S C»pltal_Wha* V* ®om by the Seaato and Bouse--Old Matter* OltpOMd Or Md New One* Con­ sidered. , „. Tiie Senate MdBona*. The tfme of the House'Friday wa* UP TIY tlje pension debate. Tbe bill pro­ poses an expenditure of 8160,000,000, a cut of 90.000,000 from what was asked. Mr. Mutehler argued in support of tbe cbauRQS in the pension laws recommendel by tbe committee. There were, he said, thousands and many thousands of men who were on the pension polls to-day who hud never beard the whistle of tbe bullet or yet the roar of artillery. Mr. Grout admitted that the amount of money required for the pay­ ment of pensions was t large one- But it must be remembered that tbe bulk of It was for Invalid veterans or "for the widows of men who bad lain down their lives for their country. He was op­ posed to the transfer of the Pension Bu« r®a« «« proposed by tbe bill. Without closing the general debate tbe committee rose AND tbe Hou«e took a recess. The de- batn IN the SENATE on the automatic car- coupler bill was not of an enlivenintt or even an Interesting character. Tho Vice President presented tbe memorial of tbe Chicago Chamber of Commerce favoring the anexation of the Hawaiian Islands, and It was referred to the Committee on For­ eign Reintktfis. Tbs to provide for sunsU v lighihouses and other aids to navi­ gation was passed as it came from tbe House. Tbe calendar was taken np and reveral minor bills * ere passed. The con­ ference report on the bill to restore to the public domain a portion of the White Mountain Apache Indian Reservation was presented and agreed to, and the S«a«t« ad­ journed. . . The bill to promote the safety at em­ ploye? and travelers upon railroad* bv compelling railroad Companies to sqaijj their cars with automatic couplers and continuous brakes, and their Jor-omoMves with drlving-wheoi brakes, was finally dis­ posed of in the Senate Saturday. Tho substitute for the House bill of laati ses­ sion was agreed to and the bill passed-- yeas, 39* nays, 10. The only other impor­ tant piece of legislation done was the agreeing to tbe conference report on tho fortifications bill and making the Nioara- eua Canal bill Ihe unfinished business. The session of the House was not without interest, but it was without result. The attempt of the Democrats to limit the time for debate on the pension appropriation bill was firmly resisted by the Republicans, and the strong minority came out victori­ ous. The result tras that, without termin­ ation of general debate, the House ad­ journed. Tho Senate chaplain had the unique ex­ perience Mondiiy morning of beginning his prayer for a legislative body not a single member of which was present to get the benefit of it. In the course of half an houi there were enough Senators present to con­ stitute a quorum. Tbe Senate refused to consider the New Mexico Statehood bill in the morning hour--yea% 14; nays 30. Senator Cullom Introduced a joint Reso­ lution to transfer to tbe State of Illinois at the close of tbe Columbian Exposition the naval exhibit of tbe United States Govern­ ment as a naval armory for the use of the naval militia of Illinois, and asked to have •it considered and passed. Senator Cockrell objected, saying that, this was simply the entering wedge for Chicago to get every­ thing that would be sent tbere for exhibl- tlon. The resolution was referred to the committee on naval affairs. Tho Somite- then took up ihe Nicaragua Canal bill aud Senator Frye addressed the Senate in sup­ port of the measure. The Nicaragua canal bill was before tbe Pen ate Tuesday for a couple of hours, but was then laid aside so that the sundry civiJ appropriation bill might be proceeded with. The canal bill was the subject of two speeches and of a running discussion, in which Mr. Sherman, who is in charge of It, took a leading part. After a short conflict between the Democrats and Republicans of the House the Democrats were obliged to yield gracefully and to agree to the terms which the Republicans presented. These were that general debate on the invalid pension bill should be continued until the minority was accorded she hours debate. During the discussion of the bill', in committee of the whole. Mr. Hatch in­ directly gave notice of the course which he would pursue in reference to the anti- option bill. He had, he said, waited pa­ tiently for days in order that the consider, ation of the appropriation bills should be completed. But he now gave notice that unless the appropriation bills were dis­ posed of in a reasonable time he would a«k for tbe consideration of a mea-ura (the nntl-option bill), which, hein^ a revenue bill, had a right of way. The Nicaragua canal bill, though having the advantage of being tbe "unfinished business." bad to give way Wednesday in tbe Senate to the sundry civil appropria­ tion bill. All the amendments to that bill reported by the committee on appropria­ tions,including the World's Fair Items, were disposed of with the exception of the series relatiug to rivor and hwrbor imtrove- ments. and these were in full tide of debate when the President's Hawaiian message was delivered, and then, without the dolay of a minute, on fenator Sherman's motion, the Senate went luto executive session. The invalid pension appropriation bill monopolized the attention of the House. The general debate was enlivened bv Mr. Bout.;l!e of Maine, who made ore of his vigorous and characteristic speeches, but the Hou«e at large looked upon tbe controversy without excitement, and It ended without any gain on either side. The debate In the House over the pen­ sion-appropriation bill was brought to a • dramatic and almost violent conclusion late Thursday afternoon by a scene vrbich wn only prevented py the Serge;int-at- arms and li is mace from degenerating into an exchange of blows. The excite­ ment was inteabe. The Speaker appealed to members to put an end to this most un«eemly scene and take their seats: but it WHS several minutes before bis appeal proved of any avail. When order was finally ie>tored the House, finding it was In no temper to proceed with tbe considera­ tion of the bill, adjourned. The session of the Senats was occupied in tbe considera-^ tion of the sundry civil apprjprijttion bill. An amendment involving tbe continuance of the office of supervisor of elections gave lise to a long apd heated political discus­ sion. i'3 8k rt- March of Pestilence.
