CONGtHEG331ONA1Is
THE senate held brief executive session
soon after meeting on the Sd and then agreed
to all the amendments to the deficiency bill
with the exception of four that were reserved,
and these were finally agreed to, fnclud-
ing the French spoiiation claims, and the
ports were ayreed to, including that on the
copyright bill, which eliminates the Sher-
man amendment At the evening session
the senate insisted on the Hawaiian cable
amendment to the diplomatic bill and passed
16O pension bills. The only business trans
acted in the house was that of considering
eonfereneesfeporfs and in this respect the
session was very busy one. The conference
dian appropriation and the copyright bills
were agreed to and at late hour the session
clio led.
AFTER a continuous all-night session in
clearing up its work the senate on the 4th re-
ceded from it's Hawaiian cable amendment
to the diplomatic bill; agreed to the con-
ference reports on the legislative appropri
alton bill and the agricultural bill. and at
6:15 a. took recess for breakfast. The
session was resumed at a. m, when mo-
ton to reconsider the vote on the
copyright bill was defeated. The confer
ence on the deficiency bill was agreed to
(retainng the French spolfatfOn claims)
A motion by Mr.. Ransom rendering thanks
to the vice-president was adopted, and an
the bus ness OF the session having been COM
pieted the senate at noon was declared adj
iourned sine die. The house agreed to
various conference reports on appropria-
ton bills, but defeated the bill for the re-
organization of the army. Mr.. Mckinley
offered a resolution OF thanks to the speaker
for his impartiality and ability in the dis
charge of his duties, and Mr.. Mills demand
ed the yeas and nays. The resolution was
adopted by party vote, the democrats vot-
ing solidly against it. Business having been
completed the house at noon was adjourned

The brusque and fussy mn
pulse of these days of false
impression would rate down
all as worthless because one
is unworthy.
ASH there were no notes
IN sunbeams
Or comets among starsi
Or cataracts In peaceful
rivers
Because one remedy pro-
fesses to do what it never
was adapted to do, are all
remedies worthless?
Because one doctor lets his
patient die, are all humbugs ?
1t requires a fine eye and
a finer brain to discriminate
to draw the differential line.
They say" that Dr.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton have cured thousands
They say" for a weak sys-
tenn there's nothing better than
the Discovery" and that the
Favorite Prescription is the
hope Of debilitated, feeble
women who need a restora-
tive tonic and bracing nervine.
And here's the proof
Try one or BOTH If they
don't help you, tell the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton SO. and you get your
money back again.

AMES-T ELL.
A Verdict Rendered for the Plain.
tiff for $4,000.

Judge Hunts courtroom was crowded all
day yesterday by those who were interested
in the last act of the legal drama in which
Fisher Ames and Mrs. Mabel Treadwell
have played such prominent parts. 1t will
be remembered that Mr.. Ames sued to re-
cover S25, 600 for services rendered her as
attorney, and that Mrs. Treadwell denied
that his services were worth that much to
her.
Van Ness, counsel for Mrs. Treadwell,
in summing up, scored Ames with an un-
mercifIl hand. He first referred to the
agreement which Ames had signed, and
spoke Of the inconsistency of his position.
He admitted that he made the agreement,
but came into court and pleaded that it was
all a mistake. Should he. therefore, be per-
mitted to plead the baby act3 Van Ness
argued that Ames' actual income was about
S15 per day, and then continued:
Multiply three and half by sixteen and
you get what he was entitled to in this case.
In all this talk that he made, and in all the
mass Of testimony that he read. the only
point that amounted to anything be did not
mention at ALL Then he says that all Of his
work was done before that time. We be-
lieve that it must have been. But if he ac-
complished nothing in the argument how
could his preliminary work have amounted
to anything? He should have been fined by
the Court Tor having talked three and half
days merely to get the Court to affirm his
own decision.
But admitting 1t to be true, what is there
in IL? lie merely went to Oakland via Los
Angeles and came back overland. That is
the roundabout route he took IN that case.
If you employ a party to take you to New
York in an OK team are you to pay railroad
rates? Suppose AmeS did take three or four
or six months TO prepare the case, are we
supposed to pay for his slow and lab0riOus
w0pk? Ames said he prepared the original
case for trial and that it ran over months
He then went into court, according to Mr..
and helped him for eighteen days.
w hat did he get for it? $4,000: He was
satisfied with that amount. Mr.. McAllister
was satisfied with $4,000 Now, for work
which was wholly clerical, he wants $4,000
This is merely put in to Offset Mrs Tread
wells claim of $4,000 They called Gen
eral Barnes. Barnes tells you that the work
and declares that he knows nothing about
what it was worth. Bates comes in, how
ever. and says he knows just what it was
worth. He ought to know something about
charging after his conduct in the Robinson
Fair case. You can put Mr.. Bates down
into the slime and mud where he belongs"
j. p. Dunno summed up the case for
Ames and made very able argument The
jury retired at 4:30 O'Clock and was out for
about six hours, Ames pacing the corridor
outside the courtroom until the jury came
in. The jury deiberated until about $50
or As o'clock before arriving at a conclu-
sion. and then it was necessary to hunt up
the Judge.
AT 1O:i5 he arrived. and the verdict was
The defendant, of course. will have to pay
the costs. amounting to about $500.
