For seventeen years I h suffered.
Periods were so very painful that I

was a caso of
life or death. ypL>

rated upon

did not seem k
to do me any tj;
good, it made
me very weak.
1 was troubled

SENATE ACCEPTS THE MEASURE
BY A CLOSE VOTE.
BILL EXCLUDES MANY FOREIGNERS.
1'he Measure Passed, However, Is Broad
and Liberal It In Stated That the
1'reatdent Will Veto the Bill.
A Washington special says: After u
hard fight the senate Wednesday eve¬
ning passed the imrni ion bill by u
vote ol 34 to 81, agreeing to the con¬
ference report.
As heretofore explained the last
conference report eliminates th t )m’
features which were especially objected
to when the bill was first before the
senate. These were the provision
which prevented a husband from bring
ing in liis illiterate wife; and the pro¬
vision aimed at Russian Jews.
Tho measure as it passed is broader
and more liberal, it was, however,
fought by senators who believed such
a law against the policy of this conn
try; by others who objected to the
fnature shutting out tho “birds of
passage,” who come for a few months
each year to work; and by still others
who contended that an educational
qualification would shut out the
European peasants, who make desira
We immigrants, lmt would let the
bars down to the riffraff of the cities
and towns.
It also prohibits from employment
on public works aliens who come reg¬
ularly or habitually into the United
States for the purpose of engaging in
any mechanical trade or manual labor,
and who have not made declaration of
intention to become American citizens.
The secretary of the treasury, how¬
ever, may permit the entrance of aliens
for the purpose of teaching new arts or
industries. And the act is not to ap¬
ply to persons coming here from Cuba
during tho present disorders there.
The tip comes very straight that the
president will veto the bill, ft adds
to tho classes of excluded aliens, all
persons over sixteen years of ago who
cannot read tho English language A
some other language—except that ad¬
missible immigrants may bring with
them, or send for, illiterate parents or
grandparents (over fifty years of age)
wives and minor children.
Four democratic senators (Chilton,
Faulkner, Hill and Alurtin) voted for
tho report and four republicans (Ilaus
broiigh, Hawley, Mantle and Bhoup)
against it.

HE MEETS WITH REPULSE IN’
EXECUTIVE SESSION.
HOUSE REVERSES ITS COMMITTEE
K end all, Democrat, Losen Ills Seat to
Hopkins, of Kentucky, Who
Made u Contest.
Immediately after the senate went
into executive session Thursday, Sen¬
ator Sherman, of Ohio, sought to call
up the general treaty of arbitration
with Great Britain, but he met with a
repulse at the outset. A motion was
made that business ori the calendar be
proceeded with, the argument being
that there were a number of important
nominations, particularly of a judicial
character, that ought to be acted
upon. The yeas and nays were de¬
manded und those favoring the con
sideration of the nomination won.
The nomination of William II. Mon¬
ger, of Nebraska, to lie district judge
for the district of Nebraska, was con¬
firmed without opposition. Tho nom¬
ination of Charles F. Amidon to be
district judge for the district of North
Dakota, was then called up. The de¬
bate on this case lasted for more than
three hours. The senate evidently
looked upon the antagonism to Mr.
Amidon In the light of political oppo¬
sition only, and by the decisive vote
of 35 to 14 confirmed the nomination.
By a further vote of 32 to 27 the senate
decided at 5:30 to tuko up the arbitra¬
tion treaty and the debate on that con¬
vention began when Mr. Nelson, of
Minnesota, took the floor for the pur¬
pose of moving the postponement of the
further consideration-of the treaty un¬
til March 5th. A long debate ensued,
it was nearing 7 o’clock -Mr. Sher¬
man saw that it was impossible to
keep a quorum present; lie therefore
gave notice that immediately after the
routine business of Friday he should
move an exeentivo session, at which he
hoped the treaty would be disposed of.
In tho contested case of Hopkins,
republican, vs. Kendall,democrat,from
the tenth Kentucky district, the house
Thursday, fertile first time this ses¬
sion,on a direct issue of fact, reversed
the decision of its committee on elec¬
tions and seated a contestant whom the
committee had declared not elected.
Tho vote was 197 to 01.
The ffenn’to Wednesday agreed to a
resolution asking information' regard¬
ing- correspondence with Great Britain
on the'seal question and" directing a
suspension of tho grant.oi special priv¬
ileges in the Yrlfowstuno Park canyon.
Mr. Allen, (Pop.) Nebraska, then at¬
tacked the civil service system, alleg¬
ing dismissals of men and women in
the poktoffice at South Omaha, Neb.,
for hdviug supported Mr. Bryan.’
Mr. Lodge called up and champion¬
ed the conference report on the immi¬
gration bill. Messrs. Palmer and Car¬
ter opposing it because of its exclusion
of CitaftiliiinSi: There was «’ warm de¬
bate between Fulmer and Hohr andtlld
latter wis finally driven from the sen¬
ate to escape the scathing administer¬
ed, by thf> .venerable Illinois member.
After a hard tight the senate passed
the bill 4 by a vote of 34 to 81.
Tho house at Wednesday’s session
refused to agree to a conference re¬
port which would have increased the
pension of the widow of Captain J. S.
Payne from £30 to $50 a month. It
agreed to the report on the legislative
appropriation tho bill and passed a bill to
remove Colonel political disabilities from
William IT. Simms, acongresS
of. ante-bellum days.
The Benate Tuesday, after passing
several minor bills, including one re¬
arranging the statement judicial districts of Ar¬
kansas and a from Senator
Sherman that he will urge the arbitra¬
tion treaty Wednesday to the exclu¬
sion of all other matters, listened to a
long speech from Senator Chandler
()ie.}>.), New Hampshire, in favor of
bimetallism and of increased coinage
of silver as a cure for the present de¬
pressed condition of business and in¬
dustry, There was a somewhat sen¬
sational outbreak when Air. Chan¬
dler accused Mr. Pettigrew of hav¬
ing been chosen as a McKinley dele¬
gate to- the St. Louis convention, and
then violating a distinct pledge that he
would support McKinley and the gold
standard. Air. Pettigrew branded the
statement as unqualifiedly false.
The general deficiency bill was re¬
ported to the house Thursday from the
committee on appropriations. The hill
carries an appropriation of $8,130,937.
Among the items in tho bill are the
following; Te enable the secretary of
the treasury to restore the com¬
pensation of employees at the
ports of Baltimore, Buffalo, Platts

No "Bakshish” In the Desert
ft. Talbot Kelly, an English artist
who has lived long among the Arabs,
writes and illustrates a paper entitled
•'In file Desert with the Bedouin,”
which appears in the Century. In dis¬
cussing Arabian hospitality, Mr. Kelly
says: I had not much time for quiet
observation, as one by one all the head
men of the tribe tailed to pay tbeir
respects to the “stranger within their
gates.” Taking off his shoes at the
entrance, each one advanced with
many salaams, and kissing my hand,
uttered the single word, “MahiTbbnhl”
(“Welcome!”) They then seated them¬
selves in a long row at the other side
of the tent, discussing me in under¬
tones. No one spoke to me unad
(lTossed, and even the Slieik himself,
whoso guest I was, would not sit ou the
carpet beside me uninvited. 1/iterally,
While the guest of tile Bedouin your
tent is sacred,, and all the tribe are
your willing servants; and though 1
repeatedly paid comparatively long
visits to them, I have never yet suc¬
ceeded in pressing a gift upon my
host.
I remember asking (lie sheik Saoundi
e! Taliouri, chief of the Ilanaardi
Arabs, if lie knew any of the Pyramid
Arabs at Gizeii. He replied, spitting
upon the ground, “They are not Bed¬
ouin; they take bakshish”—thereby
expressing his contempt for mercenary
service. On another occasion, while
living with the Xephaartn, the sheik
Mansour Abu Nasrullali had attached
to mo a young Arab whole special duty
it was to attend to my various wants
while painting. At the end of the
month I tried to induce him to accept
a sovereign as bakshish. Hooking very
much alarmed, he exclaimed: “Oh, my
master. 1 cannot; it is not allowed; the
sheik would lei'll me if he knew I had
accepted a gift;” and all my arguments
failed to persuade him to take the
“tip.”

“During my Illness, 1 had taken two boxes

better health than for many years. None of
my riouda expected niato live* and at ono
time It was feared itiy reason was giving
way. 1 do not know how to pay a suffi¬
ciently high tribute to Dr, Williams’ medi¬
cine. Iv is, I believo, the grandest blood
randiemo that was over prepared.
“N »w. having stated my own case, lot mo
refer to my sister, Miss II. A. Shepard, who
had a scirrhous growth ou her right temple.
This was terribly inflamed and spreading so
fa t, that 1 prevailed upon her to order five
dol.Urs’ worth of Dr. Williams’ rink Pills,
and lest their virtue as a blood cleaner, ns
the only means of arresting the rapid growth
of the cancer. This she did, and has taken
about seven of tlio boxes, aud is still taking
tlu*m. The sore has stopped spreading, and
appears to be healing. When she began to
take the pills she was the thinnest living bo
ing I oversaw that could move about. Now
she has gained in flesh, her skin has re¬
gained its normal appearance, and she is
stronger, anq her general health is better
than it has been in many years. God grant
she may be spared the horrible death with
which she was threatened. My sister’s caso,
more than my own, has induced mo to write
this statement, in order that it may be made
public. “M. P. SlIEPAHD,

A Cougher’s Coffers
may not bo so full as he wishes, but if ho is
wiso he will neglect his coffers awhile and
attend to his cough. A man’s coffers mf ;t be
so secure that no one can take them away
from him. But a little cough has taken many
a man. away from his coffers. The “slight
cough ” is somewhat like the small pebble that
lies on tho mountain side, and appears utterly
insignificant. A fluttering bird, perhaps, starts
the pebble rolling, and the rolling pebble begets
an avalanche that buries a town. Many fatal
diseases begin with a slight cough. But any
cough, taken in time, can be cured by the use of
