PROCEEDINGS FROM DAY TO DAT BBIEF1/1
TOLD—BILLS AND MEASURES UNDER
CONSIDERATION—OTHER NOTES.
THE HOUSE.
Wednesday —In the house, Wednea-
day, it was expected that a vote would
be taken on the world’s fair amendment
to the sundry civil bill without debate,
but the friends of the fair at the last mo-
ment concluded th<,t it would be better
te huve more talk and, when at 12:30
o’clock the sundry civil report again ob-
tained the floor, Mr. Caruth.of Kentucky,
was given an opportunity to explain why
he bad decided to change front at this
time for the appropriation. His reason
was that the fair had become a national
matter. Mr IIonkiDS of Illinois ’ closed
for the appropriation, hh strong point be¬
ing that by ordering Sunday closing the
hou c e bad diminished the fair receipts.
Mr. McMillin closed for the opposition, The
urging the necessity for economy.
debate being concluded Speaker Crisp
announced that he was satisfied that his
ruling Tuesday should be changed. The
effect of the ruling was to give Mr. Hol¬
man entire control of the situation unless
the house should take it away from him
by voting down some proposition be
makes. The first senate amendment
proposed to increase the appropriation
for the government exhibit, and, on Mr.
Holman’s motion, the house, without
division, insisted on its non concurrence
in this amendment. The same course
was followed as to other amendments
of minor importance to the
five-million-dollar appropriation, the
world’s fair managers not caring to force
the fighting until the big appropriation
was reached. In this way, without
division, all the senate word’s fair amend¬
ments were sent back to conference until
the five-million-dollar appropriation was
reached. Mr. Holman, ia accordance
with the opposition programme, yielded
to Mr. Bankhead to offer the five million-
dollnr amendment and the previous
quesion being ordered, the clerk began
to call the roll on Mr. Bankhead's
amendment. On the first roll call the
amendment was defeated by a vote of 77
to 141. Mr. Holman demanded the yeas
and nays and a second roll call was
ordered. When the clerk finished the
calling of the roll it was noised around
that the motion had secured a majority
of nearly twenty. Mr. Holman immedi¬
ately changed his vote from the
negative to the affirmative
in order that he might be entitled to
move a reconsideration. Several votes
were withdrawn, and the speaker finally
declared the motion carried by a vote of,
yeas 117, nays 105. All of the republi¬
cans voted to concur in the senate amend¬
ment. The Farmers’ Alliance members
vote 1 against concurrence. Sixty three
democrats voted to concur. On the an¬
nouncement of the vote Mr. Holman was
promptly on his feet with a motion to
reconsider, and Mr. Bingham as prompt¬
ly moved to lay that motion on the table.
Then filibustering began in earnest. Mr.
Outhwaite, of Ohio, moved an adjourn¬
ment and pending that moved that when
tho house adjourn it be to meet Friday
next. This was supplemented by Mr.
Bailey, of Texas, with a motion for an
adjournment until Saturday. Seventv-
seven of the opponents of the world’s fair
proposition refrained from voting - ,d Mr.
Bailey’s raotian was lost—yeas, 2: nays,
143. The point of no quorum was raised
and Mr. Bingham moved a call of the
house, which was ordered, but only after
the filibusterers had wasted some time by
demanding tellers. Two hundred and
eight members responded to their names.
Mr. Bingham offered a resolution revok¬
ing all leaves of absence except those
granted on account of sickness and di¬
recting the sergeant-at-arms to notify
absent members to attend to the sessions
of the house imraertlately. The resolu¬
tion was subsequently withdrawn and
the house adjourned. When the matter
again comes up the pending vote will be
on Mr. Bingham’s motion to tabic the
motion made by Mr. Holman to recon-
sider the vote by which the house reced
ed from its disagreement to the world’s
fair amendment.
Thursday. —McMillin, of Tennessee,
called up in the house a joint resolution
that congress adjourn Saturday, at 2
•I’oloek. Mr. Hatch opposed it Ziecause
he wanted the anti-options bill to pass
mid Mr. Outhwaite, the leader of
tho filibusters, Ins also opposed it, and
suggested Monday next as the date of
adjournment. The house refused on a
vote of G5 to HO to agree to the amend¬
ment, fixing the date of adjournment at
2 o’clock Monday next. The original
McMillin resolution providing for the fi¬
nal adjournment of congress at 2 p. m.
Saturday, was then adopted by a
vote of 121 to 51. The 9petiker stated
the pending motion to be that
made by Mr. Bingham to table
the motion to reconsider the vote by
which the house receded from its disa¬
greement to the senate’s World’s Fair
amendment. Immediately the filibus
terers came to the front led by Mr.
Outhwaite, who moved an adjournment,
supplementing this motion with one to
fcdjourn until Saturday. Mr. Cmnmings,
of New York, ncted as lieutenant and
moved an adjournment until Monday.
Oc the Cummings motion the vote stood:
vers 1, nays lt)4, 2 less than a quorum,
and the house was at a standstili. having
refused to order a call. On the vote re¬
curring, on Mr. Cumming’s mo
tion to adjourn till Monday,
the house was again left without a quo¬
rum.
Friday. —The World's Fair matter
was detayed by a question of privilege
raised t«y Mr. Wheeler, or Alabama, re¬
lative to certain statements contained iu
Representative a campaign book recently published by
Watson, of Georgia, re¬
viewing the action of the present congress
and positions taken by its members in
the past. The house was throwu into a
state of great confusion resulting from
tbe assertions by Mr. Watson that every
word written in the book to whi h
"Wheeler referred was literally true, aid
that he stood ready to defend every word
of them. The assenion was greeted with
prolonged hisses, as the words charge
h t drunken members reel through the
« rviH drunken members speak upon
grave measures, Mr. Watson was
called to order by Mr. Tracy,
of New York, who wa3 greatly
indignant the over the wholesale charge upon
house. Mr. Watson was permitted
to explain his language. He reiterated
his assertion as to the truth of the state-
ment made by him and defied the house
to do with him what it wished. Mr.
Boatner introduced a resolution calling
for the appointment of a committee to
investigate the truth of Mr. Watson’s
charges relative to drunkenness of mem-
bers of the house, and to recommend
what course shall be taken with respect
to the member (Mr. Watson* if the
cBari?e ia found to be untrue. FilTius-
teriD«v was immediately mausrur led by
Mr. Cummings, of N<-w Yirk, a suming
command of the filibusters. Mr. Boatm r
ask-d for immediate nctidn on the reso-
lution. and the question of its privilege
was discussed and was ruled to be privi-
legedand adopted wi'bout division. It
was after 1.30 p. m. when the house re-
sumed the consideration of the World’s
fair amendments to sundry civil appro-
priation bills.
Saturday. —The Worlds ... fair appro-
priation continues to deadlock congress,
The filibustering in the house went on
Saturday until the announcement was
made of the death of adjourned Representative of
Craig. The house then out
f^pect to his memory Before that, _
however, and during the filibustering
Mr Holman reported a civil resolution ex-
tending the old sundry appropna-
until August 4th. Mr. Hopkins, of
Illinois, one of the World’s fair advo-
fates, objected to its consideration,
knowing at the time that a failure to
adopt it would leave many departments His
of the government without funds.
objection sent the resolution over.
the senate.
Wednesday. —In the senate, Wednes¬
day, Senator Hale, of the committee on
naval affairs, introduced a joint resolution
to amend the act in relation to the pro¬
posed international naval review at
Hampton Roads and New York. The
amendment empowers and directs the sec¬
retary of the navy to send the United
States ships of war to rendezvous in
Hampton Roads in April, 1893, and to
proceed thence at some time during the
month of May or June to New- York har¬
bor to hold a review. The senate joint
resolution authorizing foreign exhibitors
at the world’s Columbian exposition to
bring into the United States foreign
laborers of their respective countries for
the purpose of preparing for and making
their exhibits was taken from the calen¬
dar and passed. The anti-option bill
then came up and three speeches
were made upon it. No
attempt was made to have a vote on
Mr. Wolcott’s motion to refer the bill to
the committee on finance and when Mr.
Washburn asked unanimous consent to
have a time fixed, (perhaps Thursday)
for taking the final vote on the bill and
pending amendment, a very prompt and
determined objection was interposed by
Mr. White. Many house pension bills
were taken from the calendar and passed;
also, the senate bill to facilitate the en¬
forcement of the immigration and con¬
tract labor laws of the United States;
also, the bouse bill to authorize the con¬
struction of a bridge over the Tennessee
river at Deposit, Ala. After a short
executive session the senate adjourned.
Thursday. —In the senate, sundry res¬
olutions for the appointment of select
committees to sit during recess were re¬
ported. After spending one h >ur in pass¬
ing bilh on the calendar, nmong them
the eight-hour law as to the public District works
of the United States and the of
Columbia, the anti-option bill was taken
up at 2 o’clock p. m., and Mr. Washburn
moved to lay on the table. Mr. Wolcott
moved to refer it to the committee on
finance. This was agreed to by
the very decisive majority of 32 to 13.
Mr. Paddock then proceeded to bill. deliver Mr.
an argument in favor of the
Turpie also defended the bill, both from
moral and legal points of view. After¬
wards the amendments came up for ac¬
tion. Mr. Washburn’s amendment to
strike out section 12 was agreed to. Mr.
Daniel’s amendment to strike out section
13 was debated until 5 o’clock, when the
senators, exhausted by the oppressive
hi at,voted unanimously for adjournment.
The house adjournment resolu ion was
received apd referred to the appropria¬
tion committee.
Friday —There was uo quorum -when
the senate met Friday morning and a
half hour passed before one appeared;
then Mr. Stewart seiz d the op
portunity afforded by the and colloquy
between Messrs. Carlisle Cock¬
rell to make a silver speech. Mr.
Carlisle addressed the senate on Mr.
Hale’s invitation as to the re ative merits
of “protection” and “tariff for revenue
only,” and in response to the speeches of
Messrs. Hale and Aldrich.
Saturday. —The anti-option bill was
finally buried in the senate Saturday.
Owing to the hot weather many senators
have left Washington for the summer.
Senator Washburn realizes he could
never get a quorum to vote upon it this
session, so he agreed at Saturday’s ses¬
sion for it to go over until December.
That practically means its defeat after
the election, as but little interest will be
taken in the measure, and the opposition
will find no difficulty in postponing it
indefinitely.
Monday. —The attendanse of senators
Monday morning was not indicative of
any great success having attended the
telegraphic summons of the vice presi¬
dent recalling absentees. The vice pres¬
ident stated that no less than thirty-one
such telegrams had been sent out, and he
laid before the senate four telegrams re¬
ceived by him alleging fickness as the
cause of absence. These were from
Messrs. Wilson, Ca-ey, Dolph and Faulk¬
ner. L?aves of absence were granted, be¬
sides, to Mr. Platt, for the remainder of
the session, and Mr. Gibson, of Louisiana,
lor Tuesday. On motion of Mr. Hawley,
the invitation of the Grand Army of the
Republic at the encampment in Septem¬
ber was accepted on the part of the sen ¬
ate, and a committee of five senators pro¬
vided for. The house joint resolution,
extending the appropriations included in
the sundry civil bill till Thursday receiv¬
ed from the house was laid before the
senate and passed.
NOTES.
An extra session of congress is possible
if the filibusters will not let the f-'T "!' -
proprifttion go through, and if the fair
people the will old not appropriation let the resolution from extend¬ August
ing
4 (m it now stands), to next December
an extra season wi uld have to be called
to meet the emergency or a lot of gov¬
ernment machinery would stop. This
situation existed once before and an ex¬
tra session had to settle it.
The pres'dent, on Friday, vetoed the
famous McGarrahan claim bill. The veto
message comes in the face of the fact
that the bill passed both houses of cou-
gress by more than a two-thirds majority.
For his veto the president has been se¬
verely criticised. Old man McGarrahan
had expected it from the president's dc
lay in acting, and received the news
philosophically. He believes it in can be
passed over the president's veto De¬
cember. Such an effort will be made.
The Watson investigation,
Watson’s statement to the committee
a ^d his statements in his book revealed
the fact that Judge James E. Cobb, of
the Tuskegee, Ala., district, vva- the
speaker referred to. Cobb's name was
made public at his request. He said it was
generally known that the charge was
against him and he wished an opport un-
ity to refute it. All Mr. Watson's wii-
intoxicated nessee expressed the opinion that he was
when he made his speech in
tne Noyes-Rockwell c^se. Mr. Rock-
we n t j n whose favor Judge Cobb was
arguing, testified that he had seen Cobb
before, after and all durina his speech.
and that he was not in the smallest de-
gree intoxicated. ColoDel Oates, of A ; a-
bama, testified that he had known Cobb
twenty-seven years; that he was not a
drinking man; that he stood high in his
church; that his character was above
reproach. He said that Cobb was pbysi-
cally week; that he was making a long
and careful argument; that some friend
se nt to his desk a stimulant (whiskey, he
supposed); that Cobb sipped it; that his
manner brightened up somewhat; that he
emphatically was not drunk. Represen-
tative Patterson, of Tennessee; Bynum,
of . Indiana; T j - Meyer, of Louisiana- T Dele¬ ^ ,
gate Smith, of Arizona; Peyton Wis», of
Virginia, clerk to the house commerce -
committee, and Solicitor Hepburn of the
treasury testified to Mr. Cobb’s sobriety
on the occasion in question Messrs
Patterson Bynum and one or two other
witnesses testified that they bad seen a
cup on Mr. Cobb’s desk ana had seen him
drink out of it, but from close observa-
tion and Knowledge of Mr. Cobb they
knew that he was not under the influence
of Connecticut, liquor. Representative DeForest, of
did not think Mr. Cobb at
all under the influence of liquor. Mr.
Feliows, of New York, testified, and
gave general absolution to members of
the house as to drunkeuness. Mr. Mutch
ler, of Pennsylvania, testified in de
nial of the truth of Mr. Watson’s
charges, and so did Mr. Tracey, of New
York. The members of this house, Mr.
Mutchler said, were particularly fre^
from the habit of intoxication, and wt re
as sober a set of men as he ever saw in
his life. He would not say that he h .d
never seen a member on the floor of the
house under the influence of liquor, but
he never saw a member drunk there this
session. Mr. O’Brien Moore, correspon¬
dent of the St. Louis Republic, testified
that he talked with Mr. Cobb immedi¬
ately before and after his argument, to
which he had listened, and knew Mr.
Cobb was not under the influence of
liquor. Mr. Andrew Deviue one of
the official stenographers of the
house, produced the manuscript of
the official report ef Mr. Cobb’s
argument, and testified that he saw
nothing in Mr. Cobb’s conduct to justify
the charges made. The examination of
congressional witnesses to prove by cu¬
mulative evidence of his audience that
Mr. Cobb was not under the influence of
liquor, when he delivered his Noyes-
Itockwell speech grew tiresome from the
long array of congressmen who made
statements. Messrs, Funston, of Kan¬
sas; Cummings and Rockwell, of New
York; Wheeler, of Michigan; Dungan,
of Ohio; Wise and Meredith, of Vir¬
ginia; Byrnes, of Missouri; Kyle, of
Mississippi; Sperry, of Connecticut, and
Stump, of Maryland, added their testi¬
mony to that of previous witnesses w ho
had testified that they listened to Mr.
Cobb’s argument, and were surprised at
the charge that he was under the influ¬
ence of liquor.
THE DEADLY HEAT.
The Highest Death Rate Known in
Twenty Years.
TWO HWNDRED AND EIGHTY-SIX DEATHS
IN NEW YORK CITY IN ONE DAY-
MORTALITY IN PHILADELPHIA.
During twenty-four hours, ending at
noon Saturday, 286 deaths were reported
in New York city. This is the heaviest
death rate for a single day for twenty
years. The number of deaths for the
week was 1,434, the heaviest since July
6, 1876, when 1,581 deaths were reported
for the week ending that day. Prostra¬
tions from heat among workmen ot the
Williamsburg sugar refineries for the
week exceeded 600. Only two of the
large sugar houses are in full operation.
Havemeyer’s establishment employs near
ly one thousand four hundred men. Of
these more than four hundred, or nearly
33 per cent, were carried out during the
week. The Brooklyn sugar refinery em-
ploys 450 men. Of these between seven¬
ty and one hundred were compelled to
quit work and have been replaced by new
men, as were those in the Havemeyer
sugar house.
GREAT MORTALITY IN PHILADELPHIA.
The effect of the terrible heat of the
past week in the city of Philadelphia
was startlingly shown by the weekly re¬
port made Saturday by the board of
health, During the week ended at 10
issued o'clock Saturday, Health Officer Yeale
870 death certificates. This is a
gieater mortality officers than has ever been re¬
corded by the before. This death
rate is even greater than when epidemics
of grippe or even cholera, smallpox or
diphtheria scourged the city.
COOLER IN BALTIMORE.
The weather at Baltimore Saturday, was
about eight degrees cooler on an average
than that of Friday, but deaths and pros¬
trations from heat during the day were
nearly es numerous as those on any other
of the protracted hot spell. The report
of the city health commissioner for the
week gives the following facts: Total
number of deaths for the week, 457;
under five years, 224; from sunstroke,
51; cholera infantum, 89; convulsions,
18. The number of deaths for the cor¬
responding week of 1891 was 207, or 250
less than for the week jus: ended, and
the excess in mortality is attributed by
the health commissioner to be unparal¬
leled heat here. Never before in the
history of the city have there been so
many deaths during the same period of
time.
CONDEMNING THE PINKERTONS
Railroad Men Pass Resolutions Against
Their Employment.
Sunday, seven of the orders of railroad
employes of New York, New Jersey, Penn¬
sylvania and Delaware met at Wilkes-
barre, Fa., in general convention to dis¬
cuss the benefit and advisability of earn¬
ing under one head . The societies are
the Railroad Conductors, Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, Switchers’ Mu¬
tual Aid Society, Brotherhood of Rail¬
road Trainmen, Order of Railroad Te¬
legraphers and ladies’ auxiliary. In the
afternoon a mass meeting was held at¬
tended by 5,000 non-brotherhood men.
Addresses were made by prominent mem¬
bers of the various branches.
Gr*nd Master Workman of the Knights
of Labor T. Y. Powderly spoke vigor¬
ously of the outrages of the Pinkertons
at Homestead and submitted the follow¬
ing resolution, which was unanimously
udopted:
Resolved, That we regard the interfer-
• nee of the Pinkertons in the labor trou¬
bles as unpatriotic and un-American. We
have confidence in the power of the law
to keep the peace and, therefore, demand
the abolit’on by law of the practice of
throwing standing armies of irresponsible
men aiound mills and factories and upon
our railroads ia times of labor disputes.

ABLE CURES ON RECORD DESCRIB D BY
THE DETROIT NEW'S—A STORY WORTH
A CAREFUL PERUSAL.
(Detroit News.}
The following parasjraoh, which aooeared
in the News a «hort time asm, furnishei the
basis of this information—a case that was
so wonderfully remarkable that it demanded
further explanation. It is of sufficient im¬
portance to the New,’ rea lers to report it to
them fullr. It was so important then that
it attracted considerable attention at the
time. The following is the paragraph in
question:
“C. B. Northrop, for 23 years one of the
best known merchants on Woodward ave¬
nue, who was supnosed to be dyin^ last
spring of locomotor ataxia, or creeping
paralysis, has secured a new lease of life and
returned to work at his store. The disease
has n’ways been suppose i to be incurable,
I lit Mr. Northrop’s condition is greatly im¬
proved, and it looks now as if the grave
w uld be cheated of its prey.”
Since that time Mr. Northrop lias steadily
till improved, he has not regained only in his looks, old-time but in con lition,
It had hinted strength.
been to the writer of this
article, who was acquainted with Mr.
Northrop, bepn that this miraculous change had
wrought by a very simple remedy
called Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peo¬
ple. When asked about it Mr. Northrop
fully verified the statement, anl not
only inform so, hut lie had taken pains to
in similar any one when who was hear suffering
a manner he ! of any
such case. Mr. Northrop was enthusiastic
at the result in his own case of Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills. It was a remedy that he had
heard of after he had tried everything he
could hope to give him relief. He had been
in the care of the best physicians who did all
i hey could to alleviate this terrible malady,
but without any avail. He had given up
hope, when a friend in Lockport, N. Y.,
wrote him of the case of a person there who
had been cured in similar circumstanc es by
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.
The person cured at Lockport had
obtained his information respecting
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills from an article
published in the Hamilton, Ont, Times.
The case was called “The Hamilton Miracle’'
and told the story of a man in that city who,
after almost incredible suffering, was pro¬
nounced t>y the most eminent physicians to
be incurable and permanently disabled. He
had spent hundreds of dollars in ail sorts of
treatment and appliances only to be told in
the end that there was no hope for him, and
that cure was impossible. The person al¬
luded to (Mr. John Marshall, of 25 Little
William St., Hamilton, Ont.,) was a mem¬
ber of the Royal Templars of Temperance,
and after having been pronounced perma¬
nently disabled and incurable by the physi¬
cians, was paid the $1000 disability insurance
provided by the order for its members in
such cases. For years Mr. Marshall had been
utterly himself helpless, and was barely able to drag
around his house with the aid of
crutches. His agonies were almost unbear¬
able and life was a burden to him, when at
last relief came. Some months after
he had been paid the disability
claim he heard of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
and was induced to try them. The result
improvement was miraculous; almost from the outset an
the was noticed, and in a few
months man whom medical experts had
said was incurable, was going about the
city Marshall healthier and stronger than before. Mr.
was so well known in Hamilton
that all the city newspapers wrote up his
wonderful recovery in detail, and it was
thus, as before stated, that Mr. Northrop
came into possession of the information that
led to his equally marvelous recovery. One
could scarcely conceive a case more hopeless
than that of Mr. Northrop. His injury
came about in this way: One day, nearly
four years ago, he stumbled and tell the
complete length of a steep flight of stairs
which were at the rear of his store. His
head and spine were severely injured. He
ing was paralysis picked up and taken to his home. Creep¬
very soon developed itself, and
in spite of the most strenuous efforts
of friends and physicians the ter¬
rible affliction fastened itself upon him.
For nearly two years be was perfectly
helpless. He could do nothing to sup¬
port his strength in the least effort. He had
to be wheeled about iu au invalid’s chair.
He was weak, pale and fast sinking when
his timely information came that veritably
snatched his life from the jaws of death.
Those who at that time saw a feeble old man
wheeled into his store on an invalid’s chair
would uot recognize the man now, so great
is the change that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
have wrought. When Mr. Norturop learned
of the remedy that had cured Mr. Marshall
in Hamilton, anu the person in Lockport, he
procured Pills a supply ot Dr. Williams’ Pink
through Messrs. Bassett & L’ilomme-
dieu, 95 VV oodward avenue, and from the
outset round an improvement. He faithfully
adhered to tne use ot the remedy until now
he is completely restored. Mr. Northrop
declares that there cau be no doubt as to
Pmk Pills being the cause of his restoration
to beaitb, as aii other remedies and medical
treatment left him in a con lition rapidly go¬
ing from bad to worse, until at last it was
declared there was no hope for him and he
was pronounced incurable. He was in this
terrible condition when he began to use Dr.
W illiams’ Fink Pills, and they have restored
him to health.
Mr. Northrop was asked what was claimed
for this wonderful remedy, und replied that
he understood that the proprietoz's claim it
to be a blood builder and nerve restorer;
supplying iu a conuenseu form aii the ele-
meuts shattered necessary uo enriou uiie olooJ, restore
nerves and drive out disease. It
is claimed by the proprietors that Pink Pills
will cure paralysis, rheumatism, sciatica,
palpitation diseases of the heart, headache, and all
peculiar to females, loss of appetite,
dizziness, sleeplessness, loss of memory, and
all diseases arising from overwork, mental
worry, loss of vital force, etc.
“I want to say,” said Mr. Northrop, “that
I don’t have much faith in patent medicines,
but I cannot say too much in favor of Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills. The proprietors,how¬
ever, claim that they are uot a patent med¬
icine in the sense in which that term is used,
but a highly scientific preparation, the re¬
sult of years of careful stu ly and experi¬
ment on the part of the proprietors, and the
pills practice were successfully used in private
• for years before being placed
for general sale. Mr. Northrop
declares that he is a living ex¬
ample pills that there is nothing to equal these
as a cure for nerve diseases. On inquiry
the writer found that these pills were man¬
ufactured by Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, pills N. Y., and Brockviile, Ont.,
and the are sold in boxes (never in bulk
by the hundred), at 50 cents a box, and may
be had of all druggists or direct by mail
from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co.,from either
above addresses. The price at which these
pills are sold makes a course of treatment
with them comparatively inexpensive as
compared with other remelies or medical
treatment. This case is one of the most re¬
markable on record, and as it is one right
here in it Detroit, be easily and not verified. a thousand Mr. North- raile3
away, can
rap is very well known to the people of
Detroit, and he says he is only too glad to
testify He of the marvelous good wrought it his in his
case. says he considers duty to
help all who are similarly afflicted by any
word he can say in behalf of the wonderful
efficacy of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.

will be shown in the Pennsylvania ex¬
hibit at the World’s fair. The collection
is said to be the most complete and finest
in the world.
It is estimated that the thirty five rail¬
roads which enter Chicago will expend
$110,000,000 in increasing and improv¬
ing their equipment and facilities for
transporting World’s fair visitors and
freight.
Costa Rica’s pavillion at the World’s
fair will be surrounded by gardens orna
mented by a profusion of tropical plants,
and in the galleries of the pavillion will
be placed more than three thousand beau¬
tiful birds, many of which have very gor¬
geous plumage.
Conspicuous in the shoe and leather
exhibit at the World’s fair will be the
display made by Lynn, Mass. Lynn is
the largest shoe producing centre in the
United States, fully seventy five and per¬
haps one hundred of the shoe manufact¬
urers of th t city will furnish exhibits.
They are acting in harmony in the mat¬
ter.
Thomas Cook <St Sin of London, the
well known tourists’ agents, have notified
the transportation department of the
World’s fair that they intend to make an
exhibit of means of transportation inclu¬
ding the following: Norwegian carriole,
Irish Norwegian sleigh, Lapland dog sleigh,
car,Neapolitan cart,Turkish caique.

French commission asking that it be al¬
lowed to do and bear the expense of
“whole decoration of the spaces
louuding the horticultural and the wo¬
man’s building.’’ This generous offer,
doubtless, will be accepted if it does not
interfere with plans too far advanced

renowned as artistic landscape gardeners,
and it is believed they would hardly
made the offer referred to unless they
inteud to make a d splay of

cultural exhibit.
The Result.
Teacher (illustrating angles)—“The
original inhabitants of New Ynrk lived
along the rivers, and laid out the first
street at right angles to the waterfronts.
Do you understand that?”
Pupil-“Yes’m.”
Teacher—“But the waterfronts were
not parallel. They met at a point form¬
ing an acute angle. Do you understand
that?”
Pupil—“Yes’m.”
Teacher—“Now what was the result
when all th< se streets finally meet?”
Pupil—“New York.”—Smith and
Street’s Good News.
An Early Display of Fireworks.’
A very fine di-play of fireworks was let
off from a magnificent building in the
Green park, London, in November, 1748,
to celebrate the peace of Aix-la-Chappelle.
The next fine display history records is
the rleuant one they bad in Paris, on May
31, 1770, in honor of the marriage of the
Dauphin, who was Louis XYI in embryo.
The French, in their intense enjoyment,
got up such a fine crowd and had such an
elegant panic that nearly 1,000 persons
were killed. Some of them were pushed
into the river, and some died of shock
and suffocation in the crowd.—New York
Evening Sun.
Little Girl—“How old are you?”
Miss Antique—“I—er—how old do I
look?”
Little Girl (after reflection)—“’Bout
a hundered.”
