Continuing, Senator Carter made a
brief reply to Senator Hoar's ques-
tion, whether, il defeated in their
efforts at receiving such legislation
as they demand at the hands of the
republican party the silver republi-
cans would sever their connection
with the party. by saying that the

strue the platform of 1892 as favor

sad spectacle. With this remark
senator Carter took his seat.
Senator Sherman said the people
east of the Missouri river were i'm
favor of bi-metallism, This had
come about-slowly, Tor the free silver
idea at one time held strong in
fluence in the west and i'm his own
state, The senator said that he he
lievcd that even Colorado would re-
fuse to urge a deprecated dollar. and
would follow the course of other
states for true bi-metallism. Mexico
had begun To show the revulsion of

Teller was on his feet as Sherman
closed. The senator from Ohio

old silver speech, the same one he has
been delivering for 10 years; the same
one | have heard 50 often before" |"
Senator Teller declared that the def
nitiOns of bi-metallism by Senator
Sherman were erroneous. We're con-
trary to those accepted at state and
national conventions. contrary to-
the accepted understanding of finan-
ciers and of foreign countries. The
republican party could not be stulti-

gold advocates. Addressing himself
to Senator Sherman, Senator Teller
totally repudiated the suggestion
that Colorado. would ever accept the
dishonest Interpretation of bimetal-
lism here presented, and II she did,
added Senator Teller. he would cease

From the Press, Appleton, MINI.
OF all the ordinary diseases to which
humanity is heir, there is, perhaps.
hone more general or more painful than
rheumatism. The Press having learned
that Mrs. Mary A. Marshall. we'll
known lady of Appleton, MIMI. this
city. had for some time past been SUI
ferer from this complaint. and that she
had found a remedy which not only
gave almost immediate relief, but which
effected complete cure, and believing
that the dissemination Of few facts
regarding 1t would perhaps be Of inter-
est and benefit to many Of our readers.
interviewed the lady upon the matter.
The reporter found Mrs. Marshall at her
pleasant home busily engaged in per-
forming her household duties in a man
ner which did not in the least indicate
rheumatism. and secured from her the
following statement:
1T is about q year and a half ago
chat first experienced these attacks OF
rheumatism. AS they became more fire.
quent they became more painful, and
while I used the prescriptions Of several
doctors l failed to find relief. About q
year ago I noticed in a paper testi-
monial as to the effectiveness Of DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
and was so impressed by the statements
made therein that determined to try
them. My husband accordingly sent for
a supply Of six boxes, and am free to
say that before I had used two boxes
of the pills became aware of a change
for the better. I continued to improve
until today, am as free from all traces
OF rheumatism as I was before these
attacks. can also truthfully say that
aside from speedily and effectually cur
Ing tile rheumatism the pills have done
me great deal Of good in generally
renovating the system, purifying the
blood and relieving those numerous lit
tie ailments to which women are most
cc.:lmcnly addicted"
Mr.. Marshall was present during the
interview, and was sincere in his praise
Of what the pills had done for his wife,
believing them to have been the sole
and direct cause of her relief.

the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
