THE FEDERAL. ELECTIONS Law.

McComa< Raises Storm-Suutftcrn Repub.
licans Too Cownrtliy to Support the Bill.
WASHINGTON, D. G., June 29.-The
Bright, able and aggressive Representa-.
tive McComas, Of the Cumberland, Nd,
district, stirred up the Democrats of the
House yesterday more than they have
been at any time since the beginning OF
the debate on the federal elections bill,
and for time riot reigned on the floor
and the galleries. The black section cs-
peciBlly added to the uproar by cheer
ing McComas to the echo.
Mr.. McComas thinks he knows from
experience the methods OF Southern
Democrats in sappressing the negro vote,
and every word he uttered seemed to
boil up from his own experience and to
touch the sore spots Of the Democrats
like caustic. The speech of Hendcr.
on, Of Iowa, was also one which rang
with aggressive words and reused the
Reputlica and the galleries to rounds
of applause.

in all the country round as "The
woman who sewed with her mouth"
She was born of French parentage
about fifty or fifty-five years ago. She
had no arms or hands, legs or feet or
at least in any way developed, these
members never having grown after she
was born. Her body was of full size
and her mind was fully developed.
Shewas very intelligent, conversing
freely in both French and English.
In early life she developed fond
ness for sewing; but how was she to
perform this task when she had no
hands or even feet to assist her in this
arduous workl She astonished her
relatives by beginning to sew with her
mouth. Finally she became so expert
that she could cut the material with
her scissors, thread the needle and
then do the sewing, using only her
mouth for all the operations. A great
many people from this city and the
surrounding country witnessed her
perform this wonderful work and some
people have in their possession squares
for patchwork quilts done by her.
She pieced number of quilts, and
could make one known as the LOG

At the close of the year 1889 the
railroad mileage of Kentucky was
1882, and the work of development
is just getting under Roadway. In
1899 Kantucky built 23i miles of
road, and the construction of 1890 is
expected to greatly exceed that Of the
year previous, or the pear 1888, when
the construction was greatest-8lS
miles. The mineral wealth of the
mountains. to say nothing of the mag
nificent forests there, the oil and gas
of Southern and Western Kentucky,
to say nothing of the magnificent ag-
energies of those sections,
as well as of the Bluegrass region,
demand additional transportation ia
cilities, and ere the close of the CEN
fury, if no financial complications in
tervene, Kentucky will take her place
well up among the leaders Of the in
States.

strange case of blood poison came

head by vicious mule that he was
breaking to work. The hand was in
a horrible condition, and the inAam-
nation was rapidly extending through
out his entire system. Every knuckle
on his hand was an ulcer that was
deep and sloughing. He stated to
me that he had consulted several
physicians, and taken their medicines
without deriving any benefit. gave
him a course of Swift's Specific Is. S.

me marked improvement, and in
one week from the time he commenc-
ed taking S. S. S. the hand was heal
