Congress-.

TuEsDAY.-There was talk of bill in
creasing the daily working hours of depart
ment clerks from six and one-half hours to
seven and one-half or eight hours. That
would start terrific tempest among the
clerks. - The free coinage men scorn
the international coinage plan. &" Why"
asked ex.Congressman Warner of Ohio,
should sixty-five millions of people wait
before determining their financial questions
until until they can consult the Jews of
London, Frankfort and Berlin?" Why, in
deed - The senate passed bill appro.
priating S325,0U0 for constructing two
United States revenue cutters for service

ception was given in the evening by Pres
ident and Mrs. Harrison to the diplomatic

Tennessee offered resolution that bill

REAL MERIT is the characteristic Of
Hoods Sarsaparilla, and it is manifest, Il
every day in the remarkable cures tli,
medicine accomplishes. Druggists say:
When we sell bottle of Hoods Sarsaparila
to new customer we are sure to see him
back in a few weeks after more-proving
that the good results from a trial bottle
warrant continuing its use. This positive
merit Hoods Sarsaparlla possesses by vir-
tue of the Peculiar Combination, Proper
ton and Process used in its preparation,
and by which all the remedial value OF the
ingredients used is retained. Hoods Sar-
saparilla is thus Peculiar to Itself and abso-
lutely unequaled in its power as a blood
purifier, and as a tonic for building up the
weak and weary, and giving nerve strength.
