House

The house, without wasting time,
proceeded to business today, and before
the session closed had passed three bills
of considerable Importance, and the
first Of the regular supply bills-that
for pensions. Three of the bills re-
lated to postal matters. One provided
for the use of private mailing cards Of
the same general size and character as
the present postal cards, when one cent
stamps are affixed. Another provided
for limited indemnity Of $40 for the
loss of registered mail matter, and the
third provided for a private carrier
service in towns and villages where no
free delivery exists The pension bill
was passed without factious opposition,
but Mr.. Grow took occasion in the de-
bate to submit some views in favor Of
higher tariff duties, based ON that por-
tion of the presidents message relating
to the tariff. The bill carries SAL.
263, $3.50. about s75,0 less than the
law for the current year.
Third day. The house held three.
hour session and passed dozen bills of
minor importance. Among them were
the following: To extend five years
the time in which the university Of
Utah shall occupy the lands granted
it; to authorize the use Of the aban.
doned Fort Bidwell military reserva.
tion in California, as training school
for Indians; to provide for the location
and purchase Of public lnds for reser-
volr sites in Montana, South Dakota
and Wyoming; authorizing Flagstaff,
Ariz., to issue bonds for the construc.
tion Of a water system. The Shaforth
bill, for the protection Of forest reser-
vations from fire. was defeated.
Fourth day-Pending the preparation
OF the next appropriation bill, the house
again today devoted its time to the con.
sideration Of bills on the calendar, but
only two were passed during the four
hours session. One of them was a bill
to protect musical compositions under
the copyright law. The other measure
made a law was to prohibit the sale Of
liquor in the capitol building. A bill
advocated by the delegates from the ter.
ritories, to modify the law forbidding
the alien ownership of lands in the ter
ritories so as to give them the right to
acquire under mortgage and to hold for
ten years, real property. was defeated.

ITS LESSON.

From the hard times people will reap
lessons of experience, learning how to act
with more care in business and how to ap-
ply remedies for the stringency Of such
times. With more care we will have less
accidents, and much less suffering if we
know the true remedy, In the neld and
workshop, indeed in all activities, sprains
and bruises happen and bring the hard
times OF pain and suffering. Experience
teaches that it is always best to get the
best remedy, which is the cheapest in the
as without question the best remedy for
such mishaps. being the surest and prompt
est cure. Suffering brings hard times
even in prosperity. The best remedy for
1t is the surest way out Of them.

CONGRESS IN SESSION.



The United States senate began the
second session Of the fifty-fourth con.
Rress with crowded galleries and with
that accompaniment Of activity and of
greeting that usually attends the reas.
sembling of congress But the upper
branch Of congress never puts aside its
dignity, and the meeting developed no
demonstrations of dramatic interest.
The reading Of the presidents message
was the feature of the proceedings, and
beyond this no attempt was made to
enter upon the business of the session.
To many Of the foreign Representatives
occupying the diplomatio gallery, the
message had special interest and sig.
nificance, owing to the part they had
taken in the conspicuous foreign events
to which the president referred.
The senate settled down to business
today. When letter from the score.
tary Of the treasury was read answer.
ing the senate inquiry as to the mum.
Der OF aliens in the department. Of the
treasury, Gallinger IN. H. remarked
that he would be glad to observe that
foreigners whose services had been con.
spicuous in the department had seen
fit as a result of the inquiry to take out
naturalization papers. Many papers
were presented from manufacturing
bodies urging the passage Of the Ding.
ley bill. Cullom (Ill. gave notice that
he would address the senate ON the
Cuban question. The house resolu-
tions relative to the death of ex-Speaker
Crisp were laid before the senate, and
as a mark Of respect at 1895 the senate
adjourned.
Third day. The senate, by the do.
cisive vote Of 85 to 81, adopted a mo-
tion to take up the Dingley tariff bill.
Unexpected and surprising as this &C.
tion was, it did not have the signifl.
canoe which the vote itself appears to
convey. Immediately following it.
Aldrich of Rhode Island, one of the
Republican members of the finance
committee, moved to recommit the bill
to the committee. and this motion was
pending when. at o'clock. the morn
ing hour expired, and the matter lapsed
as though no vote had been taken. Nei.
ther the bill nor the motion to recon.
init will enjoy any privilege or prece.
dence as the result Of the action today.
EARLY in the day three sets Of vigorous
resolutions for Cuban independence
furnished an interesting feature. They
came from Cameron of Pennsylvania,
Mills Of Texas, and Call of Florida.
and while differing in terms, breathed

Fourth dsy-The senate got into the
regular channel Of business today, tax
ing up the immigration bill and partly
perfecting it. and also hearing the first
Of the speeches on Cuba, these Of Cul.
lom and Call. The immigration bill
was not passed upon up to the time of
adjournment, but the senate agreed to
what is generally known as the Lodge
bill, as substitute to the house meas
ure. The substitute requires that all
immigrants over the age of IA years
shall be able to read and write their
native language I'D shall be required
to read and write IN the presence of an

Gladness Comes

ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
FORTS gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended TO the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely

Novel Thing in Cycles.

Over in London they have new
cycle-whether to give it the prefix
uni or bi has not yet been determined
which is altogether different from
the models seen IN this country. In
stead of being on the wheel the rider
is inside. As shown in the picture,
there are two wheels, one inside the
other. The inner wheel maintains a
stationary position, which.is necessary
because it has fastened toit the riders
seat. Around it revolyes the outer
wheel, with which it has three points
of contact, three grooved wheels, that
form runway. The power is obtained
by the simple action of spring at
tached to the treadles, and it is prom
ised that great speed will be made
when the wheel is properly used.
