Why" asked Mr.. Gray.
'Oiherwise 1t will make u scandal" Mr..
| Hale replied. The officer in that case
| Is trying to serve two masters and the
masters are antagonistic to each ether"
In the further course of the discussion
Mr. Chandler stated that when the Com
| mittee on Naval Affairs was inQuiring into
| The supplies furnished by the Carnegie Com
pany and by the Bethlehem works, they
| asked what the naval Officers were there
for; and when they came before the COM
mittee 1T turned out that they were officers
ON the retired list who were in the empIoy-
| ment OF those contractors; Mr. Chandler
| ADDED that he could make statements which
| would tend to show that the system was
| an unwise one, but he refrained from
| doing so.
Mr. Macon, Dem. member OF the Naval
Affairs Committee, supplemented what Mr..
| Chandler had said as 10 the two Officers
employed al the Carnegie and the Bethle-
hem works. He said the government paid
$500 a ton for the armor for the battle
ships, and that the committee desired to
know the actual cost of its production.
The committee could not ascertain that
fact from these two officers.
| Had you any right to expect to?'' Mr..
| Gray asked.
| NO Mr.. Bacon replied, -"we had no
| such right. But the point is that these
| officers had no right to be In any employ
ment where they could stand before a
committee of Congress and refuse to ans wer
| a question:
GoRMAN ON ARMoR.
Mr.. German reviewed the history OF the
| contract with the Carnegies, and said
| that 1t was made on the Goth of November.
| 1890, by the then Secretary of the Nayy
| INT. Tracey, on precisely the same terms
| as the prior contract had been made by
Mr.. Whitney, with the Bethlehem COM
| pany.
The terms OF these contracts, he said
| bad been considered as low. as reasona BILE
and as much to the interest of the govern
ment as any contracts ever made And
| Congress justified them. As to the state
ment that armor was furnished to Russia
| at $500 ton, he stated thatt the Bethlehem
Company, finding that it had not work
enough to keep all its machinery in opera
| ton. had made contract With Russia at a
ioss and that the armor supplied to Russia
had proved to be so Superior that further
supply had been ordered at prices about
the same a S the United States government
was paying. itus
BY that one single act9 Mr1Gorman added.
the United States had been able to ship
large quantities of such arrnor and other
| products OF American furnaces abroad,
until 1t looked, and for The first time In the
history or the country, as, if the United
| states would compete with England by
sending steel blooms from this country
to London and Liverpool.l,
! After further discussion and without
action on the pending amendment, the
Senate at 5:15 adjourned tin today.

without If she would lose the brightness Of
her eyes, the fullness of her cheeks and hei
vivacity. Health brings all these things
but health means more than most people
think of. Real health must mean that a
woman is really a woman. That she IS
strong and perfect In sexual way, as well
as in every other. That she is capable OF
performing perfectly the duties of Inaterr-
ity Upon her strength in this way depends
to large extent her general health, her
good looks and her attractiveness. Some
women are born stronger than others.
Some are born with what is called :" con-
stitutioual weakness" 1t is easier for some
women to retain health and strength than
il is for others. Some seem able to do any
thing they like, whenever they like, with
out serious results. Still, there IS no Tea-
son why women should not enjoy perfect
health. Those who do not, need only take
the proper precautions and the proper REM
edy to become perfectly well and strong.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will cure
any arrangement of the distinctly feminine
organism. 1t is absolutely certain. There
are some who have neglected themselves
SO long that a complete cure is next to i'm
possible, but even these will find comfort
and improved health in the use of the " Fa-
vorite Prescription" It has cured hundreds
of women who have received no relief what
| ever from years of treatment with good
physicians. 1t is absolutely unique in the
history of medicine. Such remedy can
be discovered only once. There Is nothing
in the world like it, nor has there ever been.

to know, are contained in Dr.. Pierce's Med

The j uggernant of the Moderns

In these days of a never ending null
titude of novels it is a cheering relief
to pick up n which is not built on.
the old time worn plan. There is a
certain amount of genuine satisfaction
in reading a book which chains your
interest from title page to fms; one
which holds the mirror up TO nature
and there portrays with mastery skill
the most subtle workings of the human
heart. The scene is laid in a western
town and the events and characters are
new and pleasing. The social re-
straints which circumscribe and limit
the freedom of action in m and
yet permit the widest latitude to man
are fully and impartially discussed. In
touching words is pointed out the bit
ter truth:
"When God formed worlds he failed
to make
A path for erring feet to take
Back into light and peace again,
Unless they were the feet of men,"
Ifyou desire to read a novel which
will set you to thinking and think long
