What a Time

People formerly had, trying to swallow
the old-fashioned pill with its film OF
magnesia vainly Disgusting its bitter
ness and what a contrast to Ayers
Pills, that have been well called "med-
icated sugar-plums" p the only fear be-
ing that patients may be tempted into
taking too many at a dose. But the
directions are plain and should be
strictly followed.
j. T. Teller, M. D., of Chittenango,
NY, expresses exactly what hundreds
have written at greater length. He
says: " Ayers Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form
and coating, and their effects are all
that the most careful physician could
desire. They have supplanted all the
Pills formerly popular here, and think
It must be long before any other can
be made that will at all compare with
them. Those who buy your pills get
fun value for their money"
"Safe, pleasant, and certain in
their action is the concise testimony
OF III. GeorSe f. Naiheip VI artihS-
vile, Virginia.

arations. The public having once used
them, will have no others. - Berry,

Lackawanna and ST. Paul were small fractions

Some hesitation followed. but the list again
gathered strength and further fractional gains

THE OHIO WHITE CAPS.
Gov. Foraker Tells How the Order was
Broken I'D.

COLUMBUS, ONO, Dec. l7.-Gov. Foraker said
last night that detective had been among the
White Caps since the first report of their out
RACES in this State, and that the names of all
members and the secrets of the order had been
secured. with such other evidence as would
bring any offender to justice. He said that
none of the members had been summoned to
his Office, but that several of them had come
voluntarily. being frightened by the possibility
of prosecution, and the result of their visit was
thai the organization had been permanently
abandoned and the members had consented TO
quit their line of conduct The governor said
that the White Caps were a regular organized
secret body. but that they had no connection
with the organization of White Caps in Indi-
ana. They were divided into lodges and the
entire order was under a general officer known
as colonel" There were nine lodges in
Ohio, with membership of 1000, among
whom were many prominent citizens.

Mr.. Cox On. V hoped that the House would
give the committee the money it asked for. 1t
ought to be enabled to report bill of some
kind so that the laws might be more stringently
enforced or lQe added to if they were defective.
But it seemed to him that the committee was
going little to far in the exercise of It's func-
tions. The committee, according to the press,
was proposing to prevent
FOREIGN ACTORS
from coming into this country
Mr.. Oates (Ala.) remarked that that was an
open question. The committee had reached
its decision in regard to it.
Mr.. Cox was glad that the COM
mittee had not decided that
those people who went to the theatcr should
be restricted to American players. They
should have the privilege of seeing tragedy.

suggested.ballet in all their his

genius might provide for the delectation of the
American public. Under the contract labor
law a foreign minister had been forbidden to
take his parsonage because he had come to this
country under some sort of contract He hoped
that this thing would not be driven to excess.
1t was well to be right. but not excessively

ARKANSAS ACCOUNTS.
The Speaker proceeded to call the states for
the introduction and reference of bills. Mr..
McRae, of Arkansas, introduced a
bill to settle certain outstanding
accounts between the United States and
Arkansas.
Mr. Hooker CMiss) demanded its reading in
full, the object being to consume the time and
prevent the attempt to pass the Oklahoma bill
under suspension of the rules.
Mr.. Springer Qll.) made the point of order
that 1t was not competent for a member to de-
mand the reading, but the point was overruled
by the speaker.
FIGHTING THE OKLAHOMA BILL.
- The reading having been completed Mr..
Barnes, (Of Ga. J, another opponent of the Okla
homa bill, introduced the bill to re-establish
uniform system of bankruptcy, a measure of
eighty printed pages, and demanded its read
ing. MIR. Springer declared that this was an
effort to prevent the House from considering
the Oklahoma bill.
THE BONE OF CONTENTION TEMPORARILY WITH
DRAWN.
The reading was interrupted by Mr. Warner,
of Missouri. who stated that, as it was evident
that the opponents of the Oklahoma bill would
not allow its consideration to-day, and in the
interest of other public business, he was will
ing to have the bill laid aside temporarily.
Mr.. Hooker suggested that it had better be
laid aside eternally.
Mr.. Warner--I know that the gentleman
would like to see it laid asidS

interested in cattle syndicates who would say

On Mr.. Warmers promise that the Oklahoma
bill would not be called to-day Mr.. Barnes

CAPITOL TOPICS.
THE HOLIDAY RECESS RESOLUTION

THE HOLIDAY RECESS RESOLUTION.
Congress adjourned last session with sort
of agreement among the leaders in the Senate
that the usual holiday recess would not be
taken this season. 1t does not now seem at all
probable that the Senate will insist upon car
by the House this morning for recess from
Friday until the 7th of January. may be
amended in the Senate, as the ways and means
committee favored in their report. to
bring them together again on the 4th of jan
uary, but the recess for Christmas week is
practically certain to occur.
The members of the finance committee of
the Senate will propose and insist upon going
on with the consideration of the tariff bill. and
the danger of an extra session will be pointed
out. Yet, it is pretty well understood now
that there are enough Senators anxious to get
away to pass the resolution. The members of
the finance committee do not expect to be able
to prevent the adoption of the resolution.
They would probably not attempt to do SO if they
were not already committed to this course and
further impelled by the desire to show their
earnestness in the effort to pass tariff bill
this session.
THE TARIFF HEARINGS.
This morning the Senate subcommittee in
charge of the tariff bill heard delegation of
manufacturers upon the schedule of lettings.
They had not completed their work when the
hour for the Senate to convene had arrived,
anu lie CUIlllllJtt VIII near llelll IilS
evening. After them will come representatives
of the manufacturers of ruchings and ruffiings
and rattans.
PENSIONS ON ACCOUNT OF AGE.
A week ago Mr.. Lawler, of Illinois, intro
duced a bill granting pension of $l2 a month
to honorably discharged soldiers and sailors
when they have attained the age of sixty years.
Since that time he has been the recipient of
many letters requesting him to lower the mini
mum age to fifty, and this morning he intro
duced a bill in accordance with that request.
Nominations To-day.
The President to-day sent the following nom-
nations to the Senate: Lyman S. Strickland. of
Maine, to be collector of customs for the dis
trict of Aroostook, Me-; Leon o. Barley,
of Indiana. to be attorney of the
United States for the district of Indiana.
