pleased to learn that there is at least
one DREADED disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatement. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces Of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the disea
Sc, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work.

its curative powers, that they offer
One Hundred Dollars for any case that
it fails to cure. Send for list Of Testi-

The Patriarchs have arranged their

season. Six years Of healthy growth
have strengthened the vitality Of this
club until it occupies a unique
position IN the social life of Lincoln.
At the last business meeting in the
spring the club adopted new consti-
tuition and early in October they will
meet and elect Ulcers for the winter.
The life Of the Empire club has been
threatened by the organization Of the
new club. but have no doubt when its
members reflect on the fact that no new
whatever its merits, can
replace what it displaces, they will
rally round their old standard and have
a better time than ever.
The Pleasant Hour, the Ravola. the
Empire and the Patriarchs have appar-
emily included the dancing people OF
the city. The formation of the Lincoln
club, however, seems to indicate their
inadequacy.

DUNRAVEN ARRIVES.

Tomorrow Retieent
Companions.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26, 1895.-The White
Star liner Teutonic came up to quaran-
tine from the lower bay at 2 o'clock
this morning when the fog lifted.
Amongh er passengers were Lord Dun
raven. his friend Arthur Glennie,
George Ranken Askwith, a London law
yer. who VIII represent Lord Dunraven
at the investigation of his charges
against the Defender people at the New
York Yacht Club tomorrow, and his
Lordship's private secretary, Mr.. I. A.
G.. Hamilton.
By a special Treasury order Lord
Dunraven and Mr.. Glennie Were per-
mitted to leave the steamer before the
customs officers boarded her. and at
1880 A. NJ the White Star tug Evarts,
with Mr.. H Maitland Kersey, the
agent of thel inc, and Lord Dunraven's s
representative in this country on board.
steamed alongside and took them off.
The tug steamed away at lively clip
for the Twenty-fourth street dock,
where the visitors were landed. They
at once entered a carriage which was
in waiting and Were driven to Mr.. Ker-
sey's residence. Neither Lord Dun>
raven nor his friend would speak to
anyone.
n representative OH the OnlIeQ GFeSS
boarded the Teutonia at Quarantine and
interviewed Mr.. Askwith. who is a we'll
known Admiralty Court lawyer and an
expert on maritime law. Mr.. Askwith.
Mr. Askwith declined to say anything
about the Investigation, as ne considered
that 1t would be bad taste for either side
TO do so. He Thought that the New
York Yacht Club would make no remarks
on the subject, and at all events neither
Lord Dunraven nor any of his party
would do so. and that no statement of
any kind was prepared for publca tion.
When asked regarding Lord Dunruv-
said that they had not as yet formed
any plans Mr. Askwith would say
nothing as regards the natures of the
evidence to be submitted to the commit

expenses for two or three years. Asked
for bread, the Committee on Ways and
Means gave a stone. The rule itself,
Mr.. Turner insisted, was wholly unparal-
leied in the history of the American Con-
gress. He pleaded for time in which
a respectful discussion of the momentous
issues involved could be had.

Mr. Crisp, said Mr.. Henderson, had said
this was a bill to tax the people. My
Godi@ he exclaimed '.the House of
Representatives hasn't the power to vote
to pay back to the people the millions of
which they have been deprived since the
Democratic party came into power on
the fourth of March, 1898. They talk OF
speed Do they stop to consider the
rapidity with which Democratic policies
have emptied the Treasury? They talk
about war. The Republicans have made
no declaration of war. It is true as has
been said, that the President sent
declaration of war to Congress, and three
days afterwards filed his petition in bank
ruptcy with the same body. Naughter)
The Republican party is not in favor OF
war; neither is it afraid of war. But the
country should take notice of the fact
that it has not yet exercised its judg-
ment upon the question. The President
asked for an appropriation with which to
exercise his executive function, and the
Republicans promptly said, Take your
money Let no one under a misappre=
hension run away from that tempest in
a teapot"
Mr.. Linney (Rep., N. c. asked Mr.
Henderson if the rule could not be amend
ed so as to permit Democrats to offer
amendments.
Mr.. Henderson replied that it was
not practicable; that differences were
dangerous.
Mr.. Crisp said the gentleman from
North Carolina was new member that
had not yet learned who was colonel of
this Congress.
Mr.. Henderson Rep.. Iowa., conclud-
ing the argument for the adoption of
the rule, said this was a business pro-
position for the relief of business
