GREAT NATIONAL SCHOOL
COMMITTEES of Congress Will Report
FaVoring a University.
OF COrneIl-Site VIII Probably
BE on Capitol Hill

The Senate Committee on the National
University held an Adjourned meeting yes
terday.
The regular meeting day is Friday. but
at the request of resident White OF Cornell
University the meeting was postponed
until yesterday. Those present were sena-
tors Kyle. + rye. Sherman, Mitchell of Wis
consin and Walthan.
President White addressed the commit
tee on The needs OF such university. He
pointed out that oxford and Cambridge,
while not exactly national Institutions,
Were nearly so from their close proximity
TO London.
He spoke OF tie University of Berlin and
showed how, during the Franco-Prussian
war, scientific studies went on. In Paris
Pasuedr was preparing for his famous dis
coveries and KircLow was experimenting
at Berlin.
He instanced all this TO show that a uni
versity placed at the capital of u nation
would not necessarily suffer from the heat
OF political life. He argued that it was
indeed the best place for such an institu-
tion.
His address was listened to with great
interest by all the members of the committee.
They followed him closely all the way
through, and many OF his arguments will
be incorporated in the committees report
That report viii be decided ON Friday.
There is but little doubt OF it being ia ror-
able one.
The committee has gone SO far as to
almost agree on d site. 1t will be on
Capitol Hill if one thing does not stand
in the way, and that one thing is the be-
quest Of George Washington.
He left piece OF land down near the
monument for national university The
terms Of the viii We're trifle misleading.
The committee does not know whether the
land was granted for the support of
the university OF for the site" If for
the support then this piece OF ground can
be sold at once and the proceeds used.
In such a case the university viii go to
Capitol Hill, near the new Library The
report may make Recommendation on this
question.

-FOUR MONTHS In A TRANCE
Miss Hattie Benedict, a New York
Girl, Finally Awoke.
She Had Evidently Thought she Was
to Be Buried-Her Heart Shift
ed Three Times

Rochester, N. Y, Feb 10.-A special from
Marengo, Wayne county, says. Miss Hattie
Benedict, the young lady who four months
ago fell into a comatose state from which
she has only been revived three times, is
now ON the road to recovery. The last
trance came upon the girl without warning
january IL, from which she awakened
last Saturday.
On Tuesday evening, as DR.. Hubben and
and three assistants We're working over the
patient, lamp which emitted brilliant
light was placed near the fingers OF Miss
Benetlict's left hand, and. TO the surprise
OF the doctor, though ashen, thin and
CHASTITY as they were, faint reddish color
could be seen, denoting the existence OF
life The pulse denoted no life.
On Wednesday noon a slight GuiveriDg
of the eyelids were noticeable, and i'm
niediateiy thereafter severe shock, as of
terror, shook the attenuated body OF tue
girl A cold sweat followed and the horror
OF her thoughts were plainly depicted upon
her face as she exclaimed iii an almost in
audible voice: Il am alive. Please don {
bury nIe.i
The trance has left Miss Benedict in a
very weak state, and she is scarcely able
to speak.
A peculiar feature of the case, said DR..
Hubpeli, is the shifting of the Leart which
occurred three times during her recent
long trance. The last time ii sbifted-Sun-
day morning Iast-it was fully two inches
to the right of its normal position and three
fourth of an inch upward.

l'radley's court yesterday.
The instrument gives to the widow. Lille
May Sumby. the east half of lot 90, square

cash; to the testators god-child, Latimer

Sumby his son, lot 8, square 53S, with
the provision that the property should be
held in trust and rented, the proceeds to
be applied to insurance, taxes and to pay
ment to the Six Per Cent Building AssOcia-
ton until all obligations shall be met.
Any surplus above these requirements is to
be paid Sidney and when he is thirty-two
years old he is TO have all the residue
of the estate. William II. Seyerson is
made trustee and executor.
The will was filed February 8, 1894 and
Sidney Sumby, Jr., flied a caveat, Novem-
Der 80, 1894 The issues were upon the
ordinary questions whether the testator was
competent TO make will and whether he
was unduly influenced by Mr.. Severson.
The paper setting them forth was filed
November 81, lo95. Cook and Sutherland
and Langston and Jones appeared for the
validity of the viii.
The property consists OF several houses
near Seventh and E streets southwest.

The young blood in the Senate is breaking
loose again.
Some of the new Republican Senators
have raised u terrific kick. They have TO
work too hard and want relief.
They brought the matter up in the Repub-
lican caucus Friday afternoon. rneir com
plaint was discussed al some length. The
young fellows made things so lively for the
gathering that n committee Of three was
appointed To look into the matter.
The trouble all arises from the fact that
Senators are eoverworked Some OF the new
men are notused To this and find it awfully
hard to buckle down. a private citizeG with
an income of $1,000 a year is pretty well
liked, bat it does not amount TO rnncn to
Senator. 1t is true each Senator has
clerk bat the clerk earns all he makes.
MORE HELP.
Now the new Senators, especially those
who are chairmen of committees, want II. ore
help. They are finding that they have but
little time for themselves. When night
comes the average Senator is ready for his
rest. On some of the more important COM
mittees the strain is much greater.
AT present the pay roll on the Senate
side is very large, and there is but little
chance for it being increased. Senators
ElHins, Allison and Chandler, who compose
the committee appointed TO investigate
this subject, are conservative legislators.
They are shrewd business men, too. So
the chances of favorable report on the
proposition are very slim.
1t costs good deal of money TO run the
Senate OF the United States. The sala-
ries and mileage OF Senators amounts to
S495, 900 a year. exclusive OF the mile
age of the two Senators from Utah. This
is merely salaries.
The annual amount paid for officers OF
the Senate, clerks of committees, Setc., is
S43s, 22s.e0. This is to be increased
now by the admission OF Utah 1t is
scarcely possible that any Senate will in
crease this immense pay roll, especially at
the present time. Some time in the future
it may come.
WANT MESSENGERS.
The intention OF the young men was that
number OF messengers should be appoint
ed. There are only nine now and these
are scattered around among the more inn
portant committees. The Appropriations
Committee, for instance, has two.
All this is counted on. of course, in case
the reorganization goes through The
publication in The Times Sunday created
much talk among employees. There is an
impression that the ticket may pull through.
In fact, one Republican Senator was over
heard 10 say:
Il don know that you can count ON every
Republican Senator voting for that ticket -
Some of the Democrats are very sure the
ticket VIII fail But nothing can he known
until the attempt is made in the Senate. 1t

mon thing that people are careless about

ensues and frequent visits to the doctor

than the disease itself. Such is the

their origin in the blood. They give
but one kind of medicine, they know

the form of powder, pill or liquid, the
Doctors prescription is always the
same-potash or mercury.
Too much cannot be said OF the harm

The doctors are unable to rid the sys-
ten of the poison, and direct their
efforts toward covering up the symp-
toms from view. There is but one ell
feet TO be obtained from potash and
mercury-they bottle up the poison
and dry il up in the system, but 1t
must be remembered that they dry up
the marrow in the bones at the same
time, gradually consuming the vital
ity. Those disfguring copper-colored
splotches are but indications OF worse
