and unmarried, to whom life is full of sor-
row and sadness. Instead of feeling light
| hearted and happy, they find a dreary
monotony in existence. DO you know
why? 1t is because they suffer from cares
that break down the health, and from
tired, miserable feelings, that steal away
youth and beauty No wonder they feel
unhappy. But there is fortunately a way
for these weak, sickly women to regain
| lost health and strength, as can be seen
| by the following opinions of some ladies
who speak from personal experience:
Miss Anna Maxey of South Solon o.,
says: Il suffered from nervous prostra-
ton, indigestion and sleeplessness follow
ing a spell of sickness, until my life was
despaired of. l took the best tonics my
physician prescribed without receiving
the least benefit. Finally, he advised me
to try a course of Duffy's pure malt
whisky. / did so, and am now able to sleep
well and am rapidly gaining strength"
Mrs. l.. c. Miller, 524 North Twenty

to suffer very much from weakness and
debility but / now use Duffy's pure malt

Thousands of ladies have passed through
a similar experience, and have testified to
the same effect. They have also found out
that the best thing 10 take for this purpose
| is Duffys pure malt whisky, because il is
unequaled for its restorative powers

madrid, March CAS- a result of the

minister at Washington had notified the
government that President Cleveland
would veto any Cuban resolution, an au-
thoritative statement was made TO-DAY
that up to the present time the minister

patches received by the news agencies
at Paris, London and Madrid, and some
of these indicating the probable course
of the administrative authorities at
Washington, have been regarded by
officials. as we'll aG by the general pub

minister at Washington has not added
his official advice, nor has he stated
that he has any assurances as to the
future OF the Cuban resolutions.

ROME, March 6.--The rioting caused
by the anger of the people at the con-
duct of the Abyssinisn campaign brought
10 climax by the complete defeat Of
the Italian army under General Bara-
teri was continued last night in ne early
every large city of Italy. although 3
rain storm cleared the streets OF the
capitol.
At Milan a large mob marched
through the principal streets, smashing
windows right and left. yelling exc
crations upon Orispi and his ministers,
and calling for the trial and prompt
execution OF General Baratieri. The
rioters made their way to the railroad
station with the intention of prevents
ing the departure from Milan OF the
army reserve of that city and neigha
borhood belonging to the class of 1872.
But anticipating trouble, the authori-
ties kept the men in the barracks and
sent q regiment OF infantry to guard
the railroad station.
These precautions only served TO in
crease the excitement of the mob lead
ers and an attempt was made to break
into the depot, A number of sharp en-
counters between the rioters and the
soldiers and police followed. The
soldiers and carabineiri were pelted
with stones and the points Of the bayo-
nets and swords were used to drive back
the crowds. A number Of soldiers and
policemen were injured and scores Of
rioters were slightly wounded
The disturbances continued until 9

HAPPENINGS AT WASHINGTON.

Legislative Appropriation Bill Passed by
the House-The Outbreaks In Spain.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The House
to-day passed the legislative appropria-
ton bill, which has been under con-
siderasion for week. Most of the time,
however, WAS consumed in the con-
sideration of the amendment TO abolish
the fee system in the cases of United
States attorneys and marshals. This
amendment WAS perfected and adopted.
The House then entered upon the con-
sideration OF the postoffice appropriation
bill, the largest of the regular supply
bills which carries SOL, 9i3.757.
During the general debate Mr.. Loud
explained that the bill did not purpose
to abandon the inspection system inau-
gurated by this administration but the
terms Of the bill cut off the force en-
ployed by the first assistant postmaster
general and increased that of the regu-
lar inspection force under the fourth
assistant postmaster general.
bill was passed to abolish the cash
payment Of pensions and substitute
checks, the purpose Of which WAS to
protect old veterans who squanderej
the pension on quarterly pay.dsys. At
O'Clock recess was taken until 8
o'clock, the evening session to be de-
voted to the consideration of private
pension bills.
The news of the demonstration
against the United States consulate at
Valencia by the Spanish mob stirred no
resentment whatever among the mem
bers of the House and caused hardly any
comment 1t was received as an In
cident OF no particular Significance, but
merely the outbreak of students. Chair.
man Hit. of the foreign affairs COM
mittee. remarked that the action of the
Spanish government in closing two of
the universities to prevent disorder
plainly showed its condemnation of hos
tile demonstrations against the United
States.
There is no disposition among mem
bers OF the foreign affairs committee ut
present to present joint resolutions for
the recognition of Cuban belligerency,
which the President would be COM
PEELED to act upon. Mr.. Suizer, of New
York, predicts that the House Will
take up the Cuban question again
within month and adopt resolutions,
but members of the foreign affairs
committee have different opinion.
