Cured by Cuticura

have been afflicted for twenty years with an
obstinate skin disease, called by some NJ d.
Psoriasis, and others leprosy, commencing on
my scalp; and, in spite of all could do, with
the help of the most skillful doctors, it slowly
but surely extended, until year ago this winter
it covered my entire person in the form of dry
scales. For the last three years 1 have been un-
able to do any labor, and suffering intensely all
the time. Every morning there could be nearly
dustpanful of scales taken from the sheet on
my bed, some of them half as large as the
envelope containing this letter. In the latter
part of winter my skin commenced cracking
open. 1 tried everything, almost, that could be
thought of, without any relief. The 18th of June

Springs l reached Detroit, and was so low

My sister, Mrs. E. H. Davis, had small part of
box of CUTICURA in the house. She wouldn't
give up; said, ''We'll try CUTIcURA." Some was

DID NOT DEFAME QUAY,
CONGRESSMAN ALLEN MAKES AN
EXPLANATION.
He Made Some Pointed Remarks, but the
Pennsylvania Senator Need Not Wear
the Shoe Unless 1t Fits.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-In the House
this morning Allen, of Mississippi, rising
to question of personal privilege, re-
piled to structures in the press and the
Pennsylvania Republican Convention on
a recent speech made by him, in which
it was alleged that he reflected on the
integrity of Senator Quay. He said it
had never been his purpose to begin an
attack on Senator Quay, and he
had never done so. In the heat
of debate, in reply to Cannon,
who arraigned the Democratic party be-
cause it had defaulting State Treas
urer, he simply said the Democratic
party never elected such men to the
United States Senate, or made them
chairman of its national committee. He
did not know Quay, but understood he
was man of some good traits. He was
no party to any conspiracy to injure or
defame him.
The House then went into committee
OF the whole on the Legislative appro-
priation bill.

during the last six months to confer
with you in reference to distractions of
fered in the counties of Leon, Gadsden,
Madison and Jefferson, in the State OF
Florida, to the execution of the process
of the courts of the United States. 1t
is not necessary to say any more OF the
situation than that the officers of the
United States are not suffered freely to
exercise their lawful functions. This
condition of things can no longer be
tolerated. You will, therefore, instruct
United States Marshal Weeks, as soon
as he has qualified to proceed at once
to execute such writs OF arrest as may
be placed in his hands. Il
he apprehends resistance he will
employ such a civil posse as
may seem adequate to discourage re-
sistance, or to overcome it. lie should

tion which should always attend pub

and at the same time with firmness

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The Senate

of Agricultural Colleges and Expert
mental Stations, who presented me-
mortal of their needs. The memorial

tee of the National Grange, containing

formation and continuation Of trusts
also in favor of the reconciliation of
silver and the revision of the tariff in

CONSTANT VIGILANCE.
The Anti-Debris People Think the Hy-
draulic Miners Need to be Watched.

MARYsvILLE, CAL, April 26.-The Ap-
peal tomorrow morning will contain an
interview with DIR. G. E. Stone, presi-
dent of the anti-Debris Association, in
which DR.. Stone favors Government
work as soon as practicable for the bene-
fit OF navigation, but believes it will be
necessary for the Government, while 80
doing, to maintain constant vigilance to
enforce the anti-debris clause of the
river and harbor act, passed four years
ago. He says the association
is in receipt of information from
trustworthy sources that a considerable
number OF hydraulic mines on the
Feather, Yuba, Bear and American
rivers, are equipped for operation this
season, and will have plenty of water
for mining. DR.. Stone says that in ad-
dition to the mines ready to discharge
debris into the streams at the first op-
portunity, there are large mines which
make show of impounding the debris,
while they have every facility for dis
charging the debris directly into the
rivers, which is much less expensive. He
thinks these properties should be con-
stantly watched.

Veto Message.
Ogden Denied the Right OF
Increasing Her Debt.
The Republican Senators Again Dis
cuss the Silver Question.
Federal Authority to be Enforced in
Florida-Mrs. Garfield Visits
the White House.
Associated Press Dispatches.


WASHINGTON, April 26.-The President
has vetoed the bill to authorize the city
of Ogden, Utah, to assume an increased
indebtedness. This is President Har-
rison's first veto.
In his message the President says
''The general law fixes the limit Of per
cent. on the last assessment for taxation
as the limit of the Indebtedness which
municipal corporations in Territories
may assume. This bill extends the limit
as to Ogden to Sper cent. The purposes
are not peculiar or exceptional. They
relate to schools, street improvements,
etc., and are common to every prosper
Gus town. If the argument by which the
measure is supported is adopted, the con-
clusion should be the repeal or
modification of the general law but
in my opinion the limitation imposed
by the law is wise and wholesome and
should not be relaxed The city now
has the power to increase its indebted
ness $3.50, 900, which would seem enough
to make a good beginning in the con-
struction of sewers, while the cost OF
street improvements is usually met by
street assessments. Almost all States
have limited the power OF municipal
corporations to incur indebtedness, and
the limit is generally lower than that
fixed in the Territories. do not doubt
that the citizens OF Ogden will ulti-
mately realize that the creation of a
municipal debt of over half a million
dollars by city OF $1,000 population,
being about $37 per capita, is unwise. :"

ing His Patients Offspring.
Associated Press Dispatches. |

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 26.--A local
paper devotes five columns to an alleged
expose of the criminal practices OF DIR.
Thomas Hatchard. Ten days ago DIR.
Hatchard brought a suit for divorce
against his wife Nancy, in which he al
legged that she excessively used liquor
and morphine. Mrs. Hatchard, in an
swer, charges her husband with many
cruel and brutal acts, including criminal
malpractice and the burning of young
babies alive. Among other things in
her answer, which is sworn to, she
states that he converted their home into
hospital, where women who wished to
avoid the consequences of their crimes
were treated; that she was forced
against her will to care for and nurse
them after he performed operations
upon them. She also alleges
that on at least two occasions
the doctor burned prematurely born
babies, and that one woman, Maggie
Hogan, from Fond du Lac county died in
their house from the effects of criminal
operation. Her answer gives names,
dates and details of chapter of horrible
crimes alleged to have been committed
by the doctor. nan interview, attested
by an affidavit, Mrs. Hatchard declares
that she saw her husband take no less
than five newborn infants, build hot
fire, and throw them, shrieking and kick
ing, into the flames. He did the same,
she says, with many others, both dead
and alive, probably twenty altogether.
The Hogan girl, and another named
Langworthy, died from the effects OF
abortions in the house. The records OF
the health department show the death of
these girls.

WHITE METAL.
The Republican Senators Again Refer
the Whole Subject to a Committee.

the Whole Subject to Committee.
WASHINGTON, April 26-A caucus of
the Senate Republicans was held this
morning to consider the silver situation.
The committee which met committee
of the House Republicans and agreed to
the form of silver bill, reported the
result. A discussion ehsued, which was
not completed when the hour for open
ing the Senate arrived.
1t is said great variety of views were
expressed by the Senators, but the
friends OF the measure agreed upon by
the two committees are confident that it
will be adopted by the caucus.
The Republican Senators caucus to
consider the silver question was in
session long time again this afternoon.
After adjournment, it was announced
that the whole subject was again re-
ferred to caucus committee, who would
endeavor to frame bill acceptable
to all.
1t is reported that while the differ
ences between the silver men and advo-
Gates of the bill agreed upon by the COM
mittee of the House and Senate, seem to
be radical, yet an earnest purpose was
shown to harmonize and, if possible,
come to an agreement.
The silver men desire the provision in
the bill reported by the caucus COM
mittee, which gives the Secretary of the
Treasury discretion to redeem in bullion
the treasury notes issued in payment
for bullion, stricken out. They do not
wish to give the Secretary power, under
any consideration, to pay out bullion
after it is once deposited in the treasury.
This view is supported by Evarts.
The silver men also desire to have the
notes provided for in the bill made full
legal tender, but this is not insisted
upon with the same intensity and
earnestness as is the proposition to keep
the bullion in the treasury.
