To THE PRESIDENT OF TEE UNITED STATES
SIR:-At meeting of citizens of the
District of Columbia, she undersigned

for your consideration the following
The constitutional amendment of the
United States, Article ~, provides:

A warrant is an authority to dosom

We respectfully submit that this stat,

CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-The strike at Max

This morning TWENTY-FIVE men who
worked in the planning mill refused to go
to work. They say they have no special
grievance Of their own, but their action
was based on sympathy for the striking
nailers. Thirtv-five non-union nailers
went to WORK in the factory this morn
ing and they were unmolested by the
strikers. Contrary to expectations the
firm did not pay off the strikers on Sat
urday, but the men did not growl about
it.

Digestion in Fowls.

Stephen Beale, in the Country Gen
tleman, says: "The process by which
the food of fowl is digested is diffe-
rent from that of any animal, 10 that
1t passes into the crop, there to be
partially digested before going into the
stomach. The crop is formed by an
enlargement of the gallet, or, as it is
technically termed, the psophagus.
The gullet is of the ordinary size both
above and below the crop, aud the crop
itself is easily distinguished, especially
when IL is full. In the cpp the food
is mixed with the grit which is So
necessary to the proper digestion of
the food, and not only is it wise to
provide this grit to relieve the stomach
from work that il is not adapted to
perform, but if the materials are not
given for the grinding up, as it We're,
OF the food, that food cannot pass as it
should into the STOMACH, for the orifice
into tne lower psophagus will not
allow 1t TO pass. 1t is from this cause
that many diseases Of the crop arise
The moral of all this is that every
poultry keeper should be careful to
give his fowls an abundance of this
grinding material, for by so doing he
will obviate much of the trouble that
will otherwise certainly arise. This
grit may consist Of coarse sand, fine
gravel, road scrapings, ashes, or that
which is the best of all, old mortar.
There should be no stint of these and
they may be placed where the fowls
can always have access TO them.

HANCOCK AND SEYMOUR
A STRIKING SIMILARITY BE-
TWEEN THEM.
Two Men made Great by one Event and
Both Succumb to Common Pate.

General Hancock. the pride of the
army of splendid physique, martial
bearing; the obedicnt soldier, whom
war made famous
Gov Seymour, the old time gentle
man, the pacific statesman, the idol of
a great patty
Both men standard. bearers of the
Democracy, the one as soldier, the
other as a statesman in a presidential
coniest--boM dead i. both dead almost
at the same hour!
There is a remarkable parallel and
contrast between these two men. The
war period made both famous. Both
were patriots; both yielded to the same
ambition; both succumbed to the same
fate!
Hancock apparently well one day,
the next, says the World, sis sinking
step by step, like person descending
pair of stairs"
Governor Seymour, says the associ-
ated press, has been gradually failing
for eight years. Both men, though of
entirely different temperament, yield
To n common fate. q.
Hancock's case was discovered by
an eminent physician at the very last
moment to be beyond help, because,
back of the malignant ulcer in his
neck, was disorder which made living
impossible.
Governor Seymours life for eight
years has been feeble, as the associated
press says, because of serious attack
OF renal inflammation some time ago,
and his death therefrom has only been
question of time
Both Hancock and Seymour might
have lived many years had they known
and recognized the fact that they were
each OF them victims of dangerous
kidney disorder, and treated themselves
successfully as they might have done
by that great scientific specific, War
ner's safe cure. Well might a well
known physician exclaim: 81 some
times think people would never die if
their kidneys were always sound"
An eminent New York physician
says: "Eanoock's kidneys stopped ex-
creting urea" No wonder he died,
for 400 grains of this horrible blood
poisoner should be passed out by the
kidneys every day; if they fail, disease
runs riot through the whole system
and death is inevitable. Deaths from
kidney disorders are of the commonest
occurrence among all classes, but are
more noticeable in these two cases, be-
cause of the prominence of the victims.
Thousands of cases of needless deaths,
aye, of actual suicide and homicide
occur every year, because people and
physicians fail to give proper attention
to the only blood purifiers in the sys-
TEN.
These two cases, occurring so strk-
ingly near each other, originating in
a common source, and eventuating
in common fate, ought to arouse the |
people to the necessity of allowing no
season to pass without taking a few
bottles of the great specific alluded to,
which is the only remedy known that
has direct power and control over these |
great organs, not only preventing and |
curing the diseases to which they are
subject, but also preventing and curing |
the many, many diseases which would
never exist if these organs ''were al |
ways sound"

Ohestnuts For Rheumatism.

Chestnuts-not of the storytelling
kind, nor yet of the kind roasted and
sold on street corners-but horse chest
nuts, such as Bishop McNierney is
carrying in his trousers pockets for re-
lief from Rheumatism. Our Washing
ton dispatches report that the good
Bishop of Albany has been induced to
carry horse chestnuts by a Californian,
who told him that the superstition is a
native of the Pacific coast. The Cali
tornian is mistaken. 1t was introduced
upon the Pacific coast in 1851 by a
New Englander, who was prominent
officer in the San Francisco custom
house. He both practiced and preach
ed it, ana every year he sent to the
East, by way of Cape Horn, for a
package OF horse chestnuts to distribute
among his converts. 1t hss prevailed
in many parts of New England fora
hundred years certainly and probably
longer, and there is no seaport between
Portland and Boston where dozens of
old people cannot be found with horse
chestnnts in their pockets, to which
they attribute their freedom from rheu-
matte complaints. Whence the super
stilion originally came we do not know
bat we are sure that New England is
the place from which it has been
generally diffused throughout the
United States. An instance, however,
has recently been brought to our notice
in which it was both believed and
practiced by an intelligent immigrant
under circumstances which imply that
he learned 1t first in ireland. Accord
ing TO our observation of the New
England usage the anti-rheumatic
virtue is supposed to depart from
horse ohestnuts after year, when the
old-dried nuts should be replaced with
fresh ones.

Destitute Miners.
AN APPEAL FOR AID FROM THE POVERTY
STRICKEN TOWN OF EBERvALE.

Since the flooding of the mines at
Ebervale and the consequent suspen-
sion of work many of the miners and
their families have been reduced to
great destitution, Some are suffering
Tor want of food and the common ne
cessities OF life. The disasters to the
miners in all other parts of the Lehigh
region have made it almost impossible
for the Ebervale miners to obtain en-
ployment elsewhere and their poverty
has become such that public meeting
was held and an appeal for aid has
been sent out A relief committee has
also been appointed to solicit contri bu-
tions of money, food and clothing for
the sufferers. James McGinty, who is
treasurer, said that persons in New
York, Wilkes-barr and other places
were soliciting aid for the Ebervale
sufferers, but that they were imposters,
as no one but the members of the Re
lief Committee had been authorized to
solicit aid.
Ebervale has been one of the most
thriving mining towns in the region
until the mines were flooded the lst o f
last month. Since then the people
have been leaving as fast as work
could be secured elsewhere, and the
population of 1900 has been decreased
by at least half. The doors and win
dows OF many of the houses have been
boarded up, the company store has |
been closed and the once lively town
presents deserted appearance The
mines were operated by the Ebervale
Coal Company. The land is owned
by Philadelphia and New York capital
lists under the title of the Union In
provement Company. The coal is of
excellent quality, and as the mines are
very valuable it is likely that the land
owners will undertake the task of
pumping the water out and putting
he mines into condition to be worked.
