vaudeville is big addition to the ranks
of variety stars. Lewis and Elliott, in
their breezy sketch, The Upper Ten and
Lower Five, give a novel speciality that
is highly diverting Ed Heffernan con-
tributes jolly Irish monologue, and
Ibachi and Masaud give one of the
best acrobatic acts ever seen in the Or

The Senate Unexpectedly Diverted From Cuba
to the Pacific Railroads.

unexpectedly diverted yesterday from
Cuba to the Pacific railroads. An un-
usually large crowd was In the CALLER

continue his speech begun Monday on
the altitude of Mr.. Olney toward the
Cameron resolution. The interest this
had awakened was shown by the pres
ence in the diplomatic gallery OF First
Assistant Secretary of State Rockhili.
who Is next In rank to Mr.. Olney In state
affairs. and who has had special charge
OF the reports coming from consuls In
Cuba. The foreign delegation also was
well represented
Soon after the session opened Mr..
Pettigrew OF South Dakota called up his
resolution relative to the trust notes OF
the Pacific railroad. The senator
made a savage onslaught on the Pa
cific railroad system in general, charg-
ing that combination of private in
terests was seeking to absorb the roads
and close out the government.
This opened the entire question, and
Mr.. Morgan of Alabama followed with
a bitter arraignment Of the Pacific rail-
roads, charging them with fraud and
crime on a gigantic scale. The speech
lasted until shortly before 2 O'Clock,
when the morning hour expired, thus
sending over the Cuban question until
after the holidays.
Mr.. Call secured the adoption OF a
resolution asking the secretary of state
for Information relative to the killing
of Charles Gavin. an American citizen,

than this, the session was uneventful.
and the senate adjourned for the holi-
day recess. lasting until Jan. 5.

lative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bill and then adjourned for the
holiday recess. This Is the first time In
the history OF congress that the legis-
lative bill has been Aassed before the
holidays. The day was devoted to the
annual debate of the civil service law.
and as usual the attempt to strike out
the provision for the commission was
overwhelmingly defeated There was
a good deal OF threshing over old straw
and sparring for political points. Mr..
Brosius. chairman OF the civil service
committee, defended the law. Others
who participated in the debate were
Messrs. Baker (Rep., N. H., Walker
CRep., Mass.). Williams (Dem. Miss }
Bowers (Rep.. CALI, and Neil CDem.

Christmas Music Arranged-Cupid at Work
Spicy Local Items Of Interest.

The next meeting of the Lincoln School
Committee will be one OF the most inter-
esting in its history. For some time
past several of the taxpayers OF Prospect
Hill have been incensed over the manner
in which one of the teachers OF the Pros
pect Hill School has been treating the
scholars. 1t has been alleged that for the
slightest provocation she will pull their ears
and punish them In manner foreign TO
the rules and regulations Of the public
school system.
One of the more prominent taxpayers OF
Prospect Hill, becoming disguised with
repeated complaints OF his children, has
applied to the school committee for per-
mission to transfer his children from the
Prospect Hill School to the school in the
old village of Lonsdale. AS the causes
leading up to this request will have to be
fully ventilated at the meeting OF the com
mittee, the outcome will be watched with
much interest by those who have become
cognizant of all the facts.
The gentleman in question, in conversa-
ton with TRIBUNE reporter, does not
wish to be considered as having moved In
this matter twith undue haste, nor with
any desire to antagonize the interests OF
any particular person.
Notwithstanding the gentleman's wish
to be lenient in the matter, 1t is the duty
of the school committee to make thor
ough examination into the cause OF this
petition, and II the facts are as have been
represented, measures ought to be adopted
to put an end at once to the practice. The
taxpayers are the ones who support the
schools, and they have rights, and through
them their children have certain rights,
which ought to be respected.

POISONS 1T INSTILs IN THE BIOOI.
II We only knew how dangerous, insid-
ious and ruthless disease indigestion Is,
we would not wait as we do before endeav-
oring to cure IL.
The longer we wait, the more dangerous
II Is likely to become.
SO the sooner we take Shaker Digestive
Cordial the Better II will be, and the better
we will be.
Indigestion IL dangerous because IL
creates poisons i'm the stomach which are
absorbed by the blood and by IL carried to
all parts of the body. .LI
Could anything be worse than this?
These poisons would not be formed II
the stomach could digest its food. When
1t can't Shaker Digestive Cordial will help
IL to do 30.
Nothing will help the stomach 30 well
as Shaker Digestive Cordial, nothing else
will cure indigestion so quickly, or so
positively.
The reason is that II purifies the stomach b
and the blood, and makes your food
strengthen instead of poison you.
IL Is not medicine, but an aid to di-
gestion, a pleasant cordial for weak stom-
achs.
