The Break Would Come

In one or two more roll calls. When
Mr.. Hoar, Mr.. Cullom, Mr.. Allison and
other prominent Republicans who had
not only responded to every roll call
but had most of the times at the front
seats on the Republican side and
listened to Mr. Stewards time killing re-
marks, got up and left the chamber. it
was evident the end had come. Mr..
German and Mr.. Voorhees, withdrew to
the rear .; Senator Coke, and standing
in the gangway had brief council of
war. Then Mr.. Voorhees, moved back
to his place and Mr.. Gallinger sounded
the ''sauve qui pent" signal for the re-
pealers The crowds in the galleries
kept their seats almost to the last. The
press gallery was thronged with cor
respondents. 1t was the understanding
that when Sargent-at-Arms Bright re-
port in writing his inability to secure
the attendance of quorum
Adjournment Would Follow.
Mr.. Manderson, knowing this. ex-
pressed hope inst before midnight
that the report would not be much
longer delayed" The fight was kept
up for hour and 45 minutes longer,
and then unconditional repeal surren-
dered. The strain not only upon sena-
tors, but upon the officers of the SEN
ate, could not have been much longer
kept up without risk Of life. Vice
President Stevenson shared with Mr..
Faulkner in the same proportions OF
the labor task of sitting IN the chair OF
the presiding officer and maintaining
order. There was, however, consid-
cradle degree OF decorum maintained
throughout the whole trying scene and
the threat to ''clear the galleries" &C
often made and never enforced, wal
very seldom heard.
The ~ hours continuous debate or
the repeal bill, in the opinion of vet
eran observers, has been one OF thu
most memorable and at the same tim'
most deccrous trials of endurance eve
witnessed in the senate chamber. .

THE SENATE sADJoURNs.


After q Continuous Session OF Forty
Hours the Motion Is Made.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14-After a con-
tinuous session of 3o hours and 40 min
utes, Senator Voorhees,, leading the re-
peal force, was compelled. by the in
ability Of his followers to longer stand
the terrible strain, to capitulate. tenn
porarily at least, by yielding TO an ad-
journment. He had been trying all
night to induce the silver men to allow
the senate to take recess, and thus
keep the legislative day, which began
Wednesday morning at II o'clock,
alive. But the obstinate silverites
would accept only adjournment. At
LAO a. M, after the quorum had been
twice broken. he reluctantly threw up
the sponge. This forces the repealers to
relinquish the ground they secured and
begin all over again If the attempt to
secure vote by brute force is to be
attempted once more. Senator Voor-
hees and Senator Palmer and other ad-
ministration men claim that adjourn
ment does not necessarily mean an
abandonment Of the fight The silver
senators and compromisers jubilantly
assert that the victory il theirs, that
unconditional repeal ID dead absolutely.
and that nothing remains but compro-
mise. and compromise, the indications
are, w{ll be along the line Of the Harris
amendment.

Voorhees, Doesn't Consider Adjourn.
ment Acknowledgment Of Defeat.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14-Senator Voor-
hees said, in response to a question,
that he would again ask the senate to
continue the senate during the night
and keep it up until vote could be
reached. He said he could not tell
whether he would be able to hold q
quorum, but that he would not break
1t himself, but would remain as long as
he could keep 43 senator's in the senate
chamber.

Swinging Around the Circle

OF the diseases to which it is adapted
with the best results, Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, family medicine, compre-
hensive in its scope, has never been
thrust upon public attention in the
guise of universal panacea for bodily
ills This claim daily arrogated in the
columns of the daily press by the pro-
prietors of medicines far inferior to it as
specifics, has in a thousand instances
disgusted the public in advance by its
absurdity, and the prospects of other
remedies of ofsuperior qualities have been
handicapped by the pretentions of their
worthless predecessors. But the Amer
lean people know, because they have
verified the fact by the most trying tests,
that the Bitters possesses the virtues of a
real specific in cases of malarial and liver
disorder, constipation, nervous, rheu-
matte, stomach and kidney trouble.
What it does it does thoroughly, and
mainly for this reason it is indorsed and
recommended by hosts of respectable
medical men.

For it wasn't all plain sailing.
She had struck a snag early in the
voyage of love. Almiry didn't love
Hank one little bit, and she did love
somebody else. She was marrying
him to help her family out of the.
usual financial difficulties.
She had about made up her mind
that she couldn't marry Hank after
all' and wondered how she would be
able to tell him, aud not break his.

her mercy. and said he didn't love
her. and would be doing an awful
wrong 10 marry her, and offered to
settle a breach of promise case with

she looked sad and distressed, as if

A Good and SufIicient Reason.

In the times when political war
fare waxed hot and relentless, there
was in town west country in which
the two parties were so equal that
the variations of a single vote one
way or the other might be matter
of most serious consequence. 1t
was in America, where every male
has a vote when he attains the age
of 81. OF course ON both sides
sharp eyes were open and watchful.
A young man came up to the poll
ing place on election day and offered
his vote. 1t was his first appear
ance in the character of an elector,
and had the independence or audac-
ity to differ politically from his
father. His father challenged his
vote.
"on what grounds" demanded
the presiding officer.
"He isn't 81"
81 am 21, asserted the youth.
mo, you're not" said the father;
"you won't be 21 till tomorrow.
81 say l WILL" cried the youth.
"I was born on the 18th day of
November. It's down in the old

Sickness I'm children.

One reason why there is so much
sickness and death among children
may be largely attributed to the fact
there is in many instances so little
discipline and government, so little
disciplinary judgment and control
on the part of the parents. There
is, in many instances, absolutely no
governmental qualification on the
part of the parents to raise their
children.
Children are allowed to eat what
they please, when they please, and
as much as they please, of anything
and rything.
Children and young people are
allowed to dress as they please, to
wear what they please, and to throw
off what they please. They are al
lowed to run here and there, day
and night-are allowed to exert
themselves-are allowed, from this
running here and> there, to over
exert their bodies and their physical
capability.
Some children will cry-are al
lowed to cry-til they get what
they want; or if older, they will
pout and in other ways make them
selves disagreeable till the parents
yield.
When yet quite young, children
must be taught to obey.
In cases where young animals die,
the cause is sought for, and satisfac-
ton is had only in finding the roa-
son for death or impaired health;
but when children die the cause is
often looked upon as inscrutabIe
and mysterious.
