A Doctors Mistake.

One of the old mistakes of the profess
sion was to think that there were no other
ways Of curing disease except those which
had been handed down from former times.
1t is not to be denied that the Doctors
have done great things for the world. But
when it comes right down to the real cur
ing of disease it must be admitted that
Browns Iron Bitters has done enough to
earn the gratitude of this whole present
generation, including the medical profess
sion. There are no mysteries or secrets
about the compromising of Browns Iron
Bitters. This preparation of iron is the
only preparation which will not injure
teeth or stomach. In this it is beyond
comparison better than the other prepare
tions, which are mischieyous and injurious.
You need not fear mistake in try
ing Browns Iron Bitters.sszz Y our druggist
has it. It gives vigor to the feeble, and
new life to the dyspeptic. Children take
it, not only with safety, but. with great adj
vantage.

A Queen s Opinion.

What q peculiar feeling is experienced
by Americans the first time they gaze up
on royalty. TIere, in this free country,
where every citizen is " king and every
mother q queen, a peep at royalty OF titled
princes and potentates does not. come very
often. Morbid curiosity often leads our
citizens to act in. a. manner .linbecoming
sstfieir highsestate. Pelama is fast making
its way throughout the. land and is Decom-
ing known. Everywhere that it is used by
the sick and afflicted. it makes wonderful
ctres, and. is given all the praise for it's
good work.
I'M Queen writes from Johnstown. w.
Val! that he has been sorely afflicted for
several years, but he was urged to try Pc
runa, W HIGH he did, and he now feels that
he is over his trouble, and considers it the
greatest medicine in the world. He says he.
has to go or send distance of fifteen miles
to obtain Perund, but it will repay him for
this. Ask for it at the nearest drug store.

We have frequently been asked how long our
roofing will last, and we answer by saying that
every person knows that as long as iron does
not rust 1t will last, and 1t is kept painted it
will not rust. There is never any wear on the
under side to wear the paint off, and if the up
per side is painted every ten or twelve years,
we do not see any reason to prevent its lasting
one hundred years.
Our roofing is all made in the factory, and put
up in packages of 100 square feet, painted on
both sides, cleats and paint enough to give it
one heavy coat after the roof is laid.

ITS ADVANrAGEs OYER SLA TIE.

Slate roofing Is very costly, all things being
considered. Slate roofing will crack by freezing
and thawing, and from heat of adjacent fires
will crumble and slide, and will blow off. Six
or seven times as heavy as iron, it requires a
strong and expensive structure to bear itup, and
an extreme pitch, which makes large amount
OF surface; they often cause a building to settle
out of shape, and the rule of measurement is
always greater than iron roofing. Slate roofs
are condemned at many places. Many people say
they want no more slate roof and many arclii-
tects advise CUSTOMERS not to have Slate roof.

ONE orrHE spEAKEps LAST ACTS.
Re Dismisses "a Competent stcno-
grapher 90 Make Place for His own

wAsHINdToN, March 1.-oue of Speaker
Refers last official acts places him In an un-
fortunate position. Mr.. Tyson, one OF the
stcnographers OF the House, appointed by the
Speaker last winter, wns called into his room
yesterday and informed that the Speaker de-
sired the place for his sister's son, Mr..
Gaines. MIR. Tyson demurred and later In the
day wrote n letter representing that he was
entering on the vacation period In which he
wOuld enjoy rest after tho lahors Of two
sessions, and that for business and family
reasons resignation would be inconventent.
The Speaker sent almost Immediately the fol-
lowing remarkable letter 10 MIR. Tyson;
az haven't time to go into detail, but Will
To- day appoint Mr.. Gaines 10 one OF the places
ms stenographer held by you or your colleague,
and prefer that you mako an arrangement
which will save me from the painful necessity
Of ordering a removal. II Is due me, I think,
That this should be done. l certainly would
like you and Mr.. Dawson to make satlsfac-
tory arrangement"
At the side OF the letter was written hastily:
81 have your letter and have considered 1t.
Please send me an early answer" Mr.. Tyson,
not caring TO engage In a contest over such a
matter with the Speaker, sent In his resigna-
tlon and Mr.. Gaines was appointed within
twelve hours after Mr.. Tyson's resignation
had been demanded. The Speaker had no
complaint to make against Mr.. Tyson, because
he expressly stated In his note accepting tho
resignation that It gave him pleasure to COM
mend him and that he had been ga good re-
porter"
Tho only possible conclusion ia that the
Speaker dismissed Mr.. Tyson in order that his
newhew might draw the salary during tho va
cation when there will bo no work. 1t Is stated
that Mr.. Blaine, when like vacancy occurred
and he was urged to appoint personal friend,
declined TO do so on the ground that II would
be n sheer waste Of public money.

The cross examination OF Rerdell, the STAR
Route witness, shows him to be one of the
most Infamous knaves and accomplished per-
iurers of tho age. His knowledge of details,
when supported by documentary evidence,
may be OF benefit to the prosecution, but
other than that 1t Will require the strongest
kind Of corroboration to make the jury believe
anything he says AS a rule the testimony
Of informers Is closely scrutinized and
the men despised even by those who use
them. They have betrayed trusts, aud, in
their anxiety to protect themselves as a class,
they go too far. Rerdell Is no exception to
this rule. He wanted to tell too much. By
his own admission he associated with the de-
PENDANTS from the beginning of tho second
trial, while virtually in the employ of the
Government He demanded $4,000 for his
testimony, and sat with his associates, pledged
to sell them out when the time arrived. Such
men must live and must be utilized, but
their power for good or evil Is as limited as
their consclences are callous. A self-con-
victed thief and perlurer, Rerdell stands to-
day in the unenvlable position of being de-
spised by all men.

The Philadelphia Sunday Mirror, rabid
Stalwart organ, publishes this:
Senator Cameron has been a silent member
of the Senate, but once In a while he wakes up
and shows that he can talk and act when oc-
casion requires. Witness that interesting lit
tie episode in the Senate on Friday. Senator
Van Wyck took occasion, In the course OF dc.
bate on bill, to make savage attack on the
Department of Justice and indirectly upon
Attorney-GeneraI Brewster. In this speech
occurred this sentence: "Where was the pro-
lection OF the people when the head OF the De-
partment OF Justice not only tolerated, but
inaugurated, such proceedings?" or course no
Pennsylvania Senator could sit still under
such an imputation, and, least of all, Don
Cameron, whose loyalty to his friends is one
OF his strongest points. He was on his feet in
a moment, and asked; "Do you mean to say
that he attorney General Brewster) got a
dollar OF it?'
Mr.. Van Wyck-oh no.
Mr. Cameron-Then you be careful how
you talk. Be more careful how you talk You
must stop now. Stop here.
Mr.. Van Wyck-I am glad my friend comes
10 the rescue. tried TO do 1t, but the force OF
the facts was against It.
"You are a., began Mr.. olmeron, threat
eningly, but then stopped.
Mr.. Van Wyck-I have not said that the At
torney-deneral took any OF this money.
s'You talk too much," replied Mr.. Cameron.
sDont talk any more In that way"
If the able editor Of the Mirror will ex-
anime the accounts of that scene published
by the specials who witnessed it he may
be enlightened as to the true inwardness
OF Don's boorIsh interruption of Senator
Van Wyck. In the meantime we commend
the following comment on that scene made

organ;

History of. George Bliss.
Where ignorance is bliss,
IT'S folly to be wise.

IT'S folly to be wise.
George BHss, who began politics as a self
constituted go-between between the lobby
and the Executive Chamber when he was
Governor Morgan's private secretary, twenty
years ago, and who, in due time, was kicked
out for his attempt to sell an influence he
could not command-George Bliss, who next
for ten successive years was an Albany lobby
list in full feather-George Bliss, who then
and was removed from 1t In disgrace-George
Blise, whom every lawyer In the city despises,
and whose word few Jurors, judges, or pollti.
clans Will receive-this George Bliss was on
Friday produced in the United States Senate
as piece of dynamite for the explosion of q
mine, on the top OF which Senator Van Wyck
placed Acknowledgement Brewster--rutlled
cuffs, breast ruflles, Hue coat and brass but
tons, and all of his old Charles II. hnery.
Senator Van Wyck (who formerly was n law
yer here, who was District-Attorney at and
Congressman from Newburg previously to his
going to Nebraska to become Senator) Is
very plucky fellow, and he took the bold
ground that Mr.: Brewster, in paying George
Bliss 81 900 q week for his services as Gov
ernment counsel In the Star-Route cases, waS
doing precisely what they wese trying the
Shareholders for doing-to wit, robbing tho
Treasury. Don Cameron (who has recently
been very much under tho influence of mar
cotics for q dangerous ailmenD came to the
language "spoiled for a fight" with Van
Wyck, who very goodnaturedly would not
fight; while Bliss, who had been notified of
the attack, lowered In the lobby, anxious and
alarmed about his fees.
However, the affair only resulted In a reso-
luton Of inquiry, which Bliss Will squelch.
The report OF the debate in the Washington
papers is very spicy, and If Bliss did not add
the hide OF a rhinoceros to the watery blood
OF sturgeon and the heart OF a stone Sphinx
hewould find 1t very disagreeable reading
The occurrclce, the. charges and the debate
are worth lingering over, because Truth from
the etart has claimed that Government ON
cials alone should have tried the Shareholders
and that Bliss was simply legal Hessian who
was there for fees. Thus far he seems to
have received about s12, 900, for which he has
really rendered no essential service whatso-
ever.
