The House committee was in favor Of
the advancement of Brown. particularly
as that officers bill was supported by
the Navy Department There has been
opposition to the measure in the Senate
Naval Committee. despite the fact that,
Brown has much influence in the upper
body. The Senate committee Is willing
to pass the bill giving Brown the title
of commander or account Of his SER
vices. but It is not believed the increas ed
pay of the grade should go TO the officer
The committee appears to take the view,
generally held in the Navy Department,
that Brown was not the only officer at
Samoa, and that, while his conduct was
credttablc. II was nothing more than
should have been done by an officer of
quick resources and ready resolve who
had the interests of the service al heart.
If Brown were advanced. there is no
reason why other officers should not
be similarity honored In q practical way.
Browns action was duly acknowledge

for which the advancement is asked are
SUCH as should willingly be performed
by officers without expectation of re-
ward. They are often made the basis
of unusual demands. involving increase

through Congress and the departments
by the beneilciaries.
Members of both House and Senate
Committees on Naval and Military AZ

are looking for all sorts OF personal

LIVER CHOOSING.
WHEN YOUR STOMACH CLOGS YOUR
LIVER .EE TO YOUR DIGESTION.

Not one person In thousand knows that
the cause of biliousness Is the clogging of
the liver by the poisons of indigestion.
Nor that the only proper cure for 1t is a
tonic To aid the stomach. But modern
medicine ,clares the truth of it, And the
Shakers have proved 1t by the wonderful
success of their Shaker Digestive Cordial.
One of the most important uses of the
liver Is to arrest and destroy all poisens
which try to find their way into the blood.
When it's clogged it can't do this.
Undigested food ferments and putrefies
in the stomach, and the poisons of putre-
faction clog and paralyze the liver, after
which they find their way into the blood
Here is the true explanation of all the
distressing disorders and complications
caused by indigestion.
Shaker Digestive Cordial Is the only tom
ic cordial which aids the stomach in nat
ural way to digest its food. BY this means
| 1t cures indigestion, restores the liver and
frees the body from poison and disease.
Headache, dizziness, neuralgia, mental
depression, weakness, bad taste, fever, fat
ulence, constipation, loss of appetite, ana
mia, rheumatism and many other disor-
ders are relieved and cured by Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial.

Gloucester, Mass, Dec. 31.-For the

In the third story of the building used
by G company OF the Eighth regiment
for an armory. AS the armory has been

known that no one was In the room, the
ghost story spread about the city, and
last night, about $3.50, when the figure
was seen again, a crowd Of nearly 90
people gathered in the street. The apr
partition appeared TO move back and
forth near the three windows which
overlook the street. The armorer, with
a number of citizens, rushed up stairs
into the room, and opening the door a
l of air met them. Not the slightest
&c of anything which might have
caused the shadowy form was found in
the room, and the self-appointed COM
mittee was considerably astonished.
The door was again locked and the COM
mittee retraced their steps, but at $50
the form was again seen at the window.

COULD NOT CONTROL MEN.
REPLY OF The CONDUCTORS AND
MOTORMENS UNION OF BOSTON
Claims That the West End President Has Been
Desingenuous In His Statement.

Boston, Dec. 31.-The supreme council
OF the Conductors and Motormen's
union of the West End street railway
has sent a communication to the exe-
cutive committee Of the road In reply
to the statement OF President Little,
which was issued yesterday. The coun-
Gil admits that mistakes were made,
and that 1t could not control the mem
bers OF the union, but Ii claims that the
action Of the men was due to the delay
of President Little In announcing his
inability to sign the agreement without
the assent of the directors.
This delay prevented the council from
communicating with the men I'm time to
avert the strike. The unreasonable de-
lay and the scornful treatment was the
sole cause of the strike The members
of the council did all In their power to
carry out the agreement made with
President Little and prevent the men
from striking, and they claim that
throughout they played the part Of
gentlemen, resenting the insinuations
made by President Little In his state
ment No reply is made to President
Little's claim that while promising to
suspend action until Dec. 30 they never
theless ordered a strike on the morning

Evidence Against Bran All In.

Boston, Dec. 31.-The trial of Mate
Thomas Bran on a charge of murder
was closed yesterday so far as evidence
is concerned, and shortly before ad-
journment Lawyer Cotter, for the de-
fense. began his argument. The sem
sation Of the day was the exclusion of
expert testimony relating to the lash
ing Of the wheel of the Fuller. The gov
ernment endeavored to introduce it to
show that the vessel would not hold her
course If the wheel was lashed. in re-
buttal to testimony offered on Monday,
but the court, after long wrangle, de-
cided in favor of the defense and ex-
cluded the testimony. This was de-
cided victory for the defense. as 1t leaves
the testimony of the other sea captains,
who claimed that the wheel could be
lashed, undisputed, the idea being that
Brown, who was at the wheel, lashed

case will probably be given to the jury

Made His Bride Queen.

New York. Dec. 31.-Colonel John Z.
Hobbs, king Of the island of Illika. in
the South seas, was married last night
to Miss Ella Collin. daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. p Collin of this city. After the
marriage Colonel Hobbs proclaimed and
crowned his bride as Ulalie, queen Of
Illika. Colonel Hobbs was sent six years
ago by an Austrian newspaper to inves-
tigate certain abuses among the island
ers. He was shipwrecked, but was
picked up by a party Of Illikans, who
were at first undecided whether to eat
or to crown him. They finally decided
upon the latter course. and neither has
since had cause to regret the choice.
