Does Your Dinner Add to Your Weight
i In Wtlliamstown reside two young
(men of a scientific turn of mind. They
have been discussing whether a man
weighs more after eating than before,
and have decided that eating adds no-
thing to the weigh*, while drinking
makes itself known in avoirdupois,
Monday they weighed themselves just
before going to dinner, Mr. Port er
weighed 191 pounds, and Mr. Wheel! r
365. They also weighed what they ate
for dinner, and the experiment showed
that the smaller man was the better
feeder, for, according to the scales, he
got away with three and a half pounds
of # , vegetables, « , while . .. „ his . companion's
capacity was only two pounds The
men weighed themselves again direct¬
ly after dinner, and both, declare that
their weight was not Increased at all.

MR. SYME’S GREAT VOICE.
And Some Other Large Voices that Have
Been Heard in Congress.
Thor.-, Ih always some member of
Cod Kress who possesses a voice far
superior in depth and volume to that
of any of the other members, which In
itself serves to give the member pos-
sensing it a certain reputation. In the
present House this voice is possessed
by Marriott Broslus of the Tenth Penn-
district , Mr. Broslus has a
faculty of talking so loud at times that
the people in the galleries cannot dis-
tinguish what he says. Another Penn-
sylvanlan who possessed a similarly
powerful voice was the .late W. D.
Kelley, commonly known as “Pig-Iron
Kelley.” In his day he held the voi.e
record against all comers until Charles
H. Van Wyck of New York, who was
afterward a Senator from Nebraska,
appeared on tho scene. His voice was
even greater than that of Mr Kelley,
Back in the old days the greatest voice
known in Congress was that of the late
Wiiliam Allen of Ohio, whose statue
now stands in. Statuary Hall at the
Capitol. It is told of Mr, Alien, when
he was in the House before the days
of railroads, that one of his colleagues
left for his home in Ohio. The day
after he was gone, Mr. Allen lamented
the fact that he bad taken his <lepar-
turo so soon, as he wanted to consult
him about some measure which had
come up suddenly. That needn’t trou¬
ble you, Allen,” said a fellow member.
' He has not got across the Alleglianles
yet. Go out on tho balcony and call
Jjjjyj back.” '
ube greatest voice . of . which , . . there ..
is any record or tradition about Con-
gress was that possessed by George G.
Symes of Colorado. Symes, who was
a good deal of a character, finally com¬
mitted suicide. He was an Ohioan by
birth, hut served in the Union army
through the war in a Wisconsin regi¬
ment. entering as a private and com¬
ing out as a Colonel. Most of his life
after the war was spent in the West
in tho Rocky Mountain region. From
1874 ho made his home in Denver, Col.
lie was a lawyer by profession and an
orator noted for his great voice. Com¬
pared with it the bellow of “the bull
of Bashan" was a gentle murmur. It
was a deep, heavy bass, proceeding
seemingly from cavernous depths. Ask-
od one day about tho reputation his
voice had given ... him, ho replied: ,, .
"Well, I'll tell you J about It," and the
words rolled out ill his deepest, heavi-
est bass. “You see, l was out cam-
palgning. I was addressing a Republi¬
can audience at Silverton. Over at
Orovllle, twenty miles distant, the
Democrats were holding a meeting.
Along about 9 o'clock there came up
ono of the awful storms which occur
in that mountain country. The wind
howled like a million devils. It was
specially bad at Orovllle. Tho people
showed signs of alarm, and acted as if
-hey wanted to break up the meeting
cud leave the hall. The Chairman,
becoming anxious, arose to re-assure
them. ‘Ladies and gentlemen,’ he said,
do not be alarmed. There is a repub¬
lican meeting over at Silverton, and
George Symes is addressing it. He has
just come to that point in his speech
where he denounces the Mills Tariff
ill, and the noise you hear is the in*
distinct rumblings of his voice.’ ”—

CARLOAD OF LIQUOR SEIZED.
Constabulary of South Carolina Takes
Charge of a Big Shipment of Wine.
A special from Charleston, S. C.,
says: The state constabulary met a
tartar in the little schooner Saucy
Lass, hut it redeemed itself Friday by
the capture of a carload of the finest
liquors consigned to wealthy citizens
for personal use.
The carload consisted of ninety-two
packages of the best wines from a ban
Francisco, Cal., wine houso. The
packages are in barrels, half barrels,
kegs and cases and are valued at a
considerable amount of money.
Chief Constable Bahr has telegraph-
oil Attorney oy General Townsend of the
seizure. The goods were consigned to
a prominent banker of Charleston.
There is a question as to Babr’s
right to seize the goods and the case
will doubtless go to the courts.
The schooner Saucy Lass with 300 gal¬
lons, is reported to have landed hor
cargo up the Cooper river.
YOUTHFUL SU H IDES.
Two Boys, Aged Nine and Fifteen, Swallow
Foison In a Fit of Anger.
Two young sons of Mr. Herson, liv¬
ing at Greenland, Ark., aged nine and
fifteen years, committed suicide while
their parents were at Fayetteville, nine
miles distant. The hoys were angry
because they were left at heme.
Both dressed in their best clothes,
wrote notes to their parents, pinned
them on the door, took strychnine and
went to bed. They died before the
parents returned home.
The notes bade their parents goodby
and expressed the hope that they
would meet in heaven.
DIG REWARD FOR IIALE.
Receivers of Southern Mutual Building

A reward of $1,000 will be offered
for the capture of William 0. Hale,the
erstwhile president of the Southern
Mutual Building and Loan Associa¬
tion at Atlanta, Ga., who involved the
affairs of that corporation iu such an
impenetrable tangle.
The reward will be offered by the
receivers of the defunct association,
who after examing into the condition
of affairs, have decided that such a
grave discrepancy existed in the ae-
counts of Hale, who was the promo-
ter and head of so many wildcat com-
panics, that it is desirable that he be
brought back to Atlanta and punished.

Southern Building and Loan Ansociation
Ordered to Be Wound L r p.
Again the big Southern Building
and Loan Association, at Knoxville,
Tenn,, is in the hands of receivers,
and this time its affairs will be wound
up in the courts.
For four days Chancellor Lindsay
listened to argument in this case, there
being ten prominent lawyers employed.
At the conclusion of the speeches Fri¬
day afternoon the judge named Major
Daniel A. Carpenter and John W.
Conner as receivers, and instructed
them to wind up the affairs of the as¬
sociation without cost to the stock-
holders.

In rendering his opinion Judge
Lindsay said that if the association
was not insolvent it was right at the
danger line. It is claimed that an
effort will now be made to put the as¬
sociation in the United States court
again. This action will be taken by
the stockholders in Tennessee and
other states where the association did
business.
SPAIN WITHDRAWING TROOPS.
Part of Her Army In Cuba Is Called
Home.
According to information received
at Washington from trustworthy
sources the withdrawal of at least a

i ' an ‘ Cuba, will begin when the

The lmtial movement will be the de-
P arture of 10,000 Spanish troops from
Havana for Spain and within a short
ft Her that 30,000 troops, it is un-
derstood, will follow.
Whether this movement is to be
construed in favor or against Spain it
iB impossible now to say. Spain says
positively that little or nothing now
remains of the insurrection;that Gomez
has only about fifty or a hundred fol¬
lowers and that to watch these under

a
I thousand men are quite as effective as
th « arm J of «0.000 men which has

The Cuban contingent, on the other
hand, insist that the Spanish financial
resources are exhausted and that the
troops are to be withdrawn because of
lack of money to keep them in the
service.
ARBITRATOR SELECTED
To Negotiate Terms of Peace Between
Brazil and French Guiana.
Information has been received at
Washington, that tho president of the
Swiss republic has been selected a.s
arbitrator of the boundary dis ute be¬
tween Brazil and French Guiana. Tho
territory involved exceeds that at issue
between Great Britain and Venezuela
and includes rich gold mining dis¬
tricts.
It is thought that President McKin¬
j ley would have I sen designated as ar-
bjtrator, but as France was one of the
j j parties to the treaty, a European arbi-
t ra t 01 . , vas preferred,

a few months ago when a French war¬
I ship was dispatched to the territory in
question. In one of the border con¬

tration will settle the boundary and
also adjust the claims growing out of
the border conflicts.
FUNDS FOR NATAL MILITIA.
The Sum of $50,000 Is Allotted for the
Naval Reserves.
The secretary of the navy has made
the annual allotment of the fund of
$50,000 appropriated by congress for
the naval militia of the states.
Deducting $2,000 reserved for tho
purchase of textbooks, the remainder
of the appropriation is allotted among
the states having naval militia organi¬
zations in proportion to the number
of uniformed petty officers and men
they had on their rolls on the 1st of
January last. The result in the south¬
ern states is as follows:
South Carolina, 165 officers and
men, allotments,814; North Carolina,
140 officers and men, allotment $1,138;
! Georgia, 188 officers and men, allot-

PRECIPITATED IN SENATE BY A
MOTION BY MORRILL.
DEMOCRATS SHOW A SOLID FRONT.
Gorman Criticizes Speaker For Not Ap-
pointing Committees—Special Message
From President.
An unexpected tariff vote was pre¬
cipitated in the senate Wednesday by
Senator Morrill’s motion to refer to
the finance committee the Vest resolu¬
tion declaring the order of Secretary
Gage as to the protective clause of the
tariff illegal. A yea and nay vote was
taken, and Mr. Morrill’s motion to re¬
fer prevailed—yeas, 24; nays, 23.
The only republican vote cast
against the motion was that of Mr.
Chandler, while the democrats voted
solidly against it. They had the as¬
sistance of all the silver republicans
and the populists present except Mr.
Mantle (silver republican), of Mon¬
tana, who voted with the straight re¬
publicans. Mr. Cannon (silver repub¬
lican) (Tennessee), and Messrs. Butler, Harris
Heitfelt, Pettigrew and
Turner (populists), were recorded
against the motion. Messrs. Teller,
Jones and Stewart, of Nevada, were
absent.
Senator Morgan asked to have a time
set for a final vote on the Cuban reso¬
lution. Mr. Hoar objected, and Mr.
Morgan gave notice that he would call
up the resolution daily until a vote
was secured.
A Special Message.
The president sent a special message
to congress urging it to make suitable
provision for adequate representation
of the United States at the Pans ex¬
position.
The closing paragraph of the message
was as follows; ‘‘It is proper that I
should emphasize the need of early
action, for if the present session pass
without suitable provision being made
postponment of the matter for nearly
a year longer could not but operate
greatly to the disadvantage of the
United States in view of the elaborate
preparations already making by other
governments and of the danger that
further delay may result in inadequate
allotment of space to this comitry, as
well as incomplete organization of the
American exhibit.
First CongrcBHional Action.
The first step toward the acceptance
of the invitation from France to par¬
ticipate in the Paris exposition of 1900
has been taken by congress in the fol¬
lowing action:
Senator Mason, of Illinois, offered
in the senate a joint resolution accept¬
ing the invitation and providing for
the appointment of a commissioner
general, assistant commissioner gener¬
al and nine scientific experts to repre¬
sent the United States.
The sum of §750,000 is appropriated
to meet the expenses of the exhibit.
The resolution directs the president
of the United States officially to notify
the governors of states of the desire of
the government to be represented at
thiB exposition and to request them to
take proper steps for representation of
all the states and territories in the
United States at the exhibit.
No Funds Available.
Attorney General McKenna sent a
letter to the house Wednesday calling
attention to the fact that there is now
no fund available for the payment of
the United States district attorneys.
He recommends that $25,000 bo imme¬
diately appropriated for salaries and
expenses of district attorneys and
§55,000 for the pay of regular assistant
attorneys.
SPINNERS STRIKE IN 0XT4M0.
They Quit Work Because of a Reduction
In Wages.
The Canadian Cotton company, of
Cornwall, Ont., started work 'Wednes¬
day after a week of idleness. A few
minutes after work was begun the
foreman announced to the spinners
that there would be a further cut in
their wages. The workmen, 30 or 49
in number, refused to accept the re¬
duction and left the building.
In consequence of the action of the
strikers the mill management closed
the mill down for an indefinite period,
thus throwing between 700 and 800
hands out of employment.
OBJECT TO COLORED CADET.
Congressman Shattuc Urged to With¬
draw Bundy's Name.
Congressman Shattuc, of Ohio,
nominated D. J. Bundy, a colored lad
of Cincinnati, to a cadetship at An¬
napolis.
He has been urged to withdraw the
name, but says he will stand by the
appointment.
There have been some murmurs of
disapproval from the Naval academy
and threats of the students to resign.
Mr. Shattuc says that the boy
earned his appointment fairly and he
is going to see that he goes to Annap¬
olis and receives fair treatment if it is
in his power to do so.
Will Oppose Charter.
Governor Black, of New York, an¬

Motherhood.
A mother who is in good physical condition transmits i
to her children the blessings of a good constitution.
The child fairly drinks in health from its mother’s ^—
robust constitution before birth, and from a healthy
mother’s milk after. if
Is not that an incentive to prepare for a healthy
maternity? < <'*■

is popularly called those “ long- 0
ings," or cravings, which beset so

mother's blood. Nature cries out ;|lf
and will be satisfied at all hazards. / I I
One woman wants sour things, %
another wants sweets, another
wants salt things, and so on. 'C/n
The real need all the time is to
enrich the blood so as to supply ’00V [. *
nourishment for another life, and *
to build up the entire generative
system, so that the birth may be
possible and successful. S' HU¬
If expectant mothers would fort¬ * Ay

ham's Vegetable Compound, which / -»
for twenty years has sustained
thousands of women in this condition, there would be fewer disappointments
at birth, and they would not experience those annoying “longings.”
In the following letter to Mrs. Pinkham, Mrs. Whitney demonstrates the
power of the Compound in such cases. She says:
“ From the time I was sixteen years old till I was twenty-three, I was
troubled with weakness of the kidneys and terrible pains when my monthly
periods came on. 1 made up my mind to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and was soon relieved. After I was married, the doctor said I
would never be able to go my full time and have a. living child, as I was
constitutionally weak. I had lost a baby at seven months and a half. The
next time I commenced at once and continued to take your Compound through
the period of pregnancy, and I said then, if I went my full time and the baby
lived to be three months old, I should send a letter to you. My baby is now
seven months old and is as healthy and hearty as one could wish. .
“ I am so thankful that 1 used your medicine, for it gave me the robust
health to transmit to my child. I cannot express my gratitude to you; I
never Compound, expected and such a blessing. Praise God for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
may others who arc suffering do as I did and find relief, and
may many homes be brightened as mine has been.”—M bs. L. Z. Wuitnev, 5
