The Great swordmakers.

The Italian cities produced some
excellent swords. The smiths of
Milan and Florence forged blades of
exquisite temper, to which they APP
piled tasteful decorations. Benvenuto
Cellini made many a noble masterpiece
in the enduring steel, and Andrea Fer
rara, whose swords were in high favor
in England and Scotland, has left his
signature on some weapons of fine tenn
per and rare workmanship. There were
celebrated sword-cutlers in France, the
armorers of Bordeaux being espe-
cially notable. The German smiths
excelled i'll the manufacture of heavy
armor, and the hilts of Nurem berg
were admirable. It would take, how
ever, less than the fingers of one hand
to tell off the really great swordmak-
ers of Englaud-those worthy of last
ing fame.-St. Nicholas.

A MORTGAGE RULING.

Judge Hazen Makes an Important Dec1-
sion About Debts on Property.
TOPEKA, Kan, March 1S.-In the
Shawnee county district court yester-
day Judge Hazen made an important
ruling in mortgage case, involving
the question, ''if there is mortgage
upon property for which the owner is
not personally liable, then does the
buyer, if he assumes and agrees to pay
the mortgage, become liable for it?"
In other words, can the grantee be-
come responsible for the payment of a
mortgage when the grantor was not?
Judge Hazen said: There can be no
reconciliation of the decisions on this
point. Illinois and Pennsylvania hold
that the grantee, or buyer, is person
ally liable. New York, Ohio, New
Jersey and, according to my reading of
the decision of the supreme court of
the United States, hold the other way.
think our supreme court has gone as
far on this question as it cares to. /
think the better reason is with New
York, Ohio and the others. Unless the
grantor is personally liable for the
mortgage the grantee does not become
liable for it by assuming payment in
the deed"

where he distinguished himself great

CONGRESS.
The Weeks Proceedings Given In Con.
dAnmMA Form.


THE Cuban debate continued in the senate on
the 18th, Mr. Hoar Mass making the leading
speech in opposition to premature action oy
congress, during which he paid high tribute
to Secretary Olney by saying that although he
differed from him politically yet the secretary
was a clear-headed, old-faShioned. MasSachu-
sets Yankee who could safely be trusted with
our foreign relations Mr.. Hoar's resolution
for postponement to April went to the cal
endar and the conference report went over.
The house passed the post office appropriation
bill which had been under consideration for
week
IN the senate on the 18th Senators Sherman
and Hill were the conspicuous figures in the
Cuban debate. Mr.. Hill fOrcibly urging the
mercenary character of the pending reSolu-
tions, while Mr. Sherman upheld them with
another graphic arraignment OF Spain and
Gen Weyler. It was the fourth day of the de-
bate on the conference report and yet there
was no evidence of a near approach to final
vote, although Mr. Sherman announced that he
would press for a vote at the earliest moment.
The Dupont contest was further debated. Sew
eral bills passed The house put in the day
considering contested election cases.
IN the senate on the 18th interest in the
Cuban question gave way to that of finance,
Mr.. CockrelI speaking for four hours on the
silver question. During the Cuban debate it
was developed that the committee on foreign
relations had received from Secretary Olney
statement by Senior Dupuy de LONE, the Span
case. This brought out very animated sugges-
tionS from Mr.. Hoar and Mr.. Wolcott that the
senate be put into possession of this important
testimony. Some interest and amusement was
created by petition presented by Senator
PETER from Hugh Cameron, of Douglas county,
Kan. that April 5, Resurrection day, be made
a national holiday =. After two days debate
the house, by vote of 173 to 20, unseated Cas-
ton A. Robbins from the Fourth Alabama dis
trict, and decided that his republican oppo-
nent, W. F. Aldrich, was entitled to the seat
was made and no pension bills were consid-
cred.
NEITHER house of congress transacted any
business the 18th.
DIN the senate on the 10th speeches were made
by Mr.. Lodge on immigration and Mr.. Pugh on
silver. The Cuban discussion was mainly i'm
portant in bringing out the full reading of the
statement of the Spanish side of the case by
Senior Dupuy de LONE the Spanish minister.

guerrilla warfare the burning of cane fields
bands. Mr.. EIkins offered q resolution direct
ing the committee on foreign affairs to report
as to the status of war in Cuba before vote
was taken in the senate. The resolution went
over -. Several bills were passed in the house,

Child Fatally Burned.
BALTIMORE, Md, March 17.-H.
Schultz, farmer, and his wife, ten
ants on the land belonging to ST.
Stephens Episcopal church, near Mill
ersville, locked their three little chill
dren in their frame house and went to
work in the field of neighboring
farm. Two babies, aged eight and
eighteen months, were left asleep in a
crib. The eldest child, aged three
years, was toddling about the floor.
The mother had thoughtlessly left
matches on a chair beside her bed.
The little one evidently got hold of
them and set fire to the bedding. The
wife of Rev. William Mumford, rector
of the church, saw the flames and sent
her servants to the rescue. They burst
in the door of the burning house. The
crib was in flames and the two babies
were literally roasted alive. At the
risk of his own life, servant saved
the three-year-old child, but it is SO
badly burned that it cannot recover,
having inhaled the flames.

THE PACE THAT KILLS.

suited in the discovery of DR.. Williams

H. P. Owens, a travelling man thirty
years of age, who is wellknown in this
comm unity and generally liked because he
is bright, energetic young fellow, resides
Cincinnati, Ohio. He has been victim of
dyspepsia which took the form of continu-
Gus constipation, and, strangely enough,
his mother suffered from the same trouble.
Mr.. Owens testified to the merits of Pink
Pills, in q most enthusiastic way, and said
to the Enquirer reporter:
81 am glad to say anything can for DR..
Williams Pink Pills, because they did me
great good and other people ought to
know of their virtues as a medicine in

t'That is right l found that it was great
medicine, SO easy to take and SO quick and

Mr.. Owens continued: 81 believe that
these pills are also good for nervousness
When I had my stomach troubles l was
also quite nervous and that disappeared

ali that were claimed for them. You can
make any use of this testimonial that you

H p. Owens has occupied several posi-
tons of trust in this city. He was for a
time an employee of the Commercial Gazette.
He will go on the road in few days for a
prominent business house here. Mrs. Owens
is quite as enthusiastic as her son about the
Pink Pills and her host of lady friends can
verify her good opinion of this wonderful
remedy if they feel disposed to do so at any
time. Where the ties tim ony is SO general and
unanimous to the excellencies of Pink
Pills as the Enquirer has found 1T to be
there is certainly good reason to believe all
the good things said-about the safe and

The Unkindest Cut of All,

AS Shakespeare says, is to poke fun or
sheer at people who are nervous, under the
half belief that their complaint is imaginary
or an affectation. 1t is neither, but serious
reality. Imperfect digestion and assimila-
ton of the food is a very common cause of
nervousness, especially that distressing
form of it which manifests itself in want of
sleep. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters speedily
remedies nervousness, as it also does ma
