The Senate to-day, on motion OF Senator
Vance, recalled the tariff bin from the

errors, returned II 10 that body. There
was some confusion created by this action
among the tariff prophets, and one remark

Those who wanted tariff legislation seemed
encouraged. The Democrats have not
accommodated their opponents by de-
claring either against or for the bill.
They have, however, appointed a
committee, Of which Mr.. Carlisle Is
chairman, TO look after tariff matters.
Just before O'Clock question OF consid-

Contains the history and pictures of hun
dreds Of people who were stoned, burned,
beaten, pulled to pieces and otherwise
tortured on account OF their conscientious
convictions as to belief and duty. They
suffered incredible torment and have come
down to the present age as martyrs. 1t
is not now customary to torture people
thus, but they are made martyrs by rheu-
matism until they suffer almost as much
as did the heroes of the martyr ages.
There was no relief for the Old-time mar
tyrs, but there is happy relief for those
who suffer from rheumatism. Cashier
Charles F. Morrill,, of Manchester, N. H.,
suffered terribly from frequent attacks Of
this painful disease, but he has been
cured. He writes: Il was a martyr to
rheumatism, and, although l tried many
other remedies, found nothing that re-
lieyed me like Perry Davis Pain Killer"
Other rheumatic martyrs may wisely
take the hint.

both inclusive, were Quilted. They abut-

number OF companies; John Stevens,

loses $4,000, but is insured partly. On
Louis Renicken's restaurant, at No. 43
Bowery, the loss is $4,000. 1t is insured.
On the Eden Concert Garden No. Al, the

liquor dealers, who have been convicted OF
violating the excise law, were arraigned
in court to-day. They were arrested for
selling liquor without license under
the old law, which revokes the license
under which the offender conducted his

as their licenses had not been annulIed

alone it was to annul them, they were in
nocent of the charge preferred. He ac-
