CAPITAL POINTS.

WASHINGTON, January 18.-At meeting
OF the House Committee on Public Lands,
Q. T. Huntington appeared in behalf of
tbs California and Oregon Company.
Among the postmasters confirmed to-day
were John o. Sehorn, of Athens, Tenn,
and w. B. Dauthal, of Fayetteville, Tenn.
The Committee on Pensions directed
that favorable report be made on the bill
granting pension to all survivors of the
Mexican war, the wars with the Greeks
and Seminoles, or the Black Hawk war
Commodores Robert w. Shufeldt, Alex
ander G. Rhind and Thomas w. Pattison
were to-day confirmed by the Senate as
rear admirals, and Chief Engineer Charles
II. Loring as chief the Bureau of Steam
Engineering of the Navy Department.
The House Committee on Commerce is
by no means unanimous concerning i'm
mediate retaliatory measures against
France and Germany. Mr.. Townshend's s
bill was defeated in the committee to-day,
and the whole matter postponed until
Tuesday.
The House Committee on Private Land
Claims unanimously agreed to report IA
yorably a bill for the relief of Myra
of patents to Mrs. Gaines for SO, 457 acres
Spain to John Lynd and Thos. Urquehart.
from whom the claimant received the
title, provided that no mineral lands will
be included in tho grant.
Secretary Folge. sent the Speaker of the
House letter in regard to certain amend
ments he thinks should be made in the
bill passed at the last session to prevent
the importation of adulterated and spuri-
GUS teas. The act IN question, he says,
worked great public benefit by the exclu-
sion Uf worthless stuff heretofore imported
and sold as tea, but some amendments are
necessary to render the act effective.
The subcommittee of the HOUSE Com
mittee on Appropriations in chargs Of the
legislative and judicial appropriation bill
met tonight to look over the estimates.
Mr.. Holman says an examination will be
made of the work of the various govern
ment officers affected by the bill, and
where an increase of help or compensa-
ton is necessary it will be granted. On
the other hand, when the number Of en-
ployes or compensation can be cut down,
such action will be taken. Holman says
in the majority of Offices the latter is the
case.

Relying on testimonials written in vivid
glowing language of some miraculous cures
made by some largely puffed up doctor or
patent medicine has fastened thousands
to their graves, believing in their almost
insane faith that the same miracle will be
performed on them, and that these testi-
monials make the cures, while the So
called medicine is all the time hast, ming
them to their graves. We have avoided
publishing testimonials ,as they do not make
the cures, although we have
THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS
of them, of the most wonderful cures, vol
unfairly sent us. 1t is our medicine, Hep
Bitters, that makes the cures. 1t hasnever
failed and never can. We will give refer
ence to any one for any disease similar to
their own, if desired, or will refer to any
neighbor, as there is not neighborhood
in the known world but can show its cures
by Hop Bitters.
A LOSING JOKE.
prominent physician of PitJsburg said to n
lady patient who was complaining of her contiE-
ued ill-health, and Of his inability to cure her,
jokingly said: Try Hop Bittersn' The lady
took it in earnest and used the BitteTs, from
which she obtained permanent health, She now
laughs at the doctor for his joke but he is not SO
well pleased with it, as it cost him him good
patient.
FEES OF DOCTORS.
The fee of doctors is an item that very
many persons are interested in. We be-
lieve the schedule for visits is So, which
would tax a man confined to his bed for a
year, and in need of daily visit, over
$1,000 year for medical attendance alone
And one single bottle of Hop Bitters taken
in time would save the $1,000 and all the
years sickness.
A LADY'S WISH.
''0h, how do wish my skin was as clear and
soft as yours" said lady to her friend. /" You
can easily make il so," answered her friend.
:. Iiow?'' inquired the first lady. by using Hop
Bitters that makes pure, rich blood and blooming
health. 1t did it for me, as you observe.
