placed on the calendar were the following:
Fer the relief of women enrolled as army
nurses; to restore pensions In certain cases;
for the relief of importers of animals tor
breeding purposes in certain cases. Consld-
Grafton of the presidents me sage was re-
sumed and Mr.. Platt continued his speech
OF yesterday. As to the surplus IN the
treasury, he denied that there was any
necessity for such an accumulation. And
the question of reduction of taxation, he
thought 1T had very little to do with Ieliev-
Ing the treasury of what the president called
the "cOngested condition" The great talk
about the surplus could be for no other pur-
an inducement to break down the protective
system. Why had the accumulation In. the
treasury been emitted? Why had taxation
not been rednced2 Why had not the demo-
cratic party, which was in power in the
no Use of representatives (where revenue
bills had to originate) presented a bill LOOK

grant pension of SD per month to army

In reporting adversely Mr.. Grains bill to
createa civil service retired list, the house
committee on reform il the civil service
says that the ultimate effect of the bill
would probably be the building up
of burdensome civil pension list unneces-

who bear the burdens of government. The
established pay of employees is sufficient
for the labor exacted of them,
and sufficient to secure efficiency and faith
fu ness in the service as far as compensation

The Crawford Road.

Nashville American.
A. l.. Crawford will pass through
here July l, to inspect the work on
his line from Lebanon to Gordon's
and the branch to Carthage. One of
his main objects is to push the road
through to the coal fields in Fentress
County by the end of the summer, in
order to commence the shipment of
coal here next winter. 1t is thought
that he will be fully able to accom-
plish the work marked out and
Nashville will be the beneficiary of
some of the finest coal that is in the
United States. The coal fields COM
prise thousands of acres and are
practically inexhaustible. From
these fields there is in contemplation
the extension of the line to Bristol, a
distance of $50 miles. That portion
of the road would run the entire
length of very rich valley. That
line when completed to Bristol,
which will more than probably be
done within the next few years,
would shorten up the distance be-
tween that point and Nashville not
less than 100 miles. Then, too, a
branch road from a given point on
that line would be built into Knox
vile, giving Nashville the benefit of
all the connections in that city. At
Bristol it will connect with the
Norfolk & Western, and give this
city shorter cut than now to the
Atlantic Ocean. Crossing the Gin
cinnati Southern, it would also place
Nashville in more direct connection
with Cincinnati.

FAULKNER SPRINGS.
The Weeks Budget of News from this
Thriving Suburban Settlement.

Faulkner Springs, June 26.-We
haven't anything Of special interest
to mention this week. Nothing has
occurred of sensational character
since our last. No accidents worthy
Of mention, no sickness (of a serious
nature), no deaths, i. e., in our i'm
mediate vicinity, no weddings, and
so far as our limited knowledge ex-
tends, with few exceptions, no prob
ability of any soon, Notwithstanding
the fact that leap year is half gone.
The pic mic is all the talk now.
The late conventions, the tariff, the
political outlook, and even the ex-
IRENE warm weather (Which we have
had for several days are subjects of
minor Importance, compared with
the coming pic mic. Many are re-
joicing over the thought of seeing the
largest crowd ever assembled at
Faulkner's Chapel, while some of the
modern Demostheneses and Ciceros of
our county are looking forward to it
as propitious time to make display
of the oratorical talent that the Lord
has so abundantly layished upon
them.
Robt. Gowen, lad about l6 years
old, died at the home of Mrs. Wad-
kins, few miles north of here yes
terday morning. His remains were
buried at the Faulkner Grave yard,
this morning, This is another re-
minder of the shortness of time, and
the certainty of death.

Mothers Life. e'@r:S-'
Columbus (Ohio) News.
A peculiar case has been called to the
attention Of country physician living 6
few miles from the city. Near his home
lives young German woman, who has
had bad health for several years, but hn s
been nursing :. child now nine months
old. Recently it became necessary TO
wean the child, as the milk did not seem
to Dourish it properly, and The mother,
who Is we'll advanced in the )sst stages of
consumption, YVES too weak to stand the
strain of supporting two lives. For day
CIR two after the child had been taken
away it was necessary to draw the milk
from the mothers breast by artificial
means. To the physicians horror, the
liquid vas not milk, but mixture Of
milk nnd .be most sickening impurities,
evidently drawn directly from the dis
eGsed lungs. The child, which is low dy
ing with cOnsun p,iop, had, ever since its
birth, suosisted on this, and in drawing
it from the mothers system, had IN
doubtedly prolonged her life, at the same
time shortening it's own. Neither mother
nor child can live many months. The
case is looked upon with much interest
by physicians.
