OF Men, Women and Children Cured by
the Fidelity Method.
We respectfully call attention to the fol-
lowing:
Waterville, Maine, July rs, 1897.
Dear SIR
have the utmost confidence in the Fidel-
1ty Rupture Cure. For twenty-five years I
have suffered from an 1nguinal Rupture of
the lett side. 1t could not be held in place
by any truss that l could obtain In fact
the treatment had to be underneath the
muscular wall, and cured the rupture by
causing the dependent portion of the sack
to grow upon the muscle and upon ITSELF
making it far more ditflcult than in ordinary
cases. ] am now wholly cured by the F1del-
ity method, and have discarded nv truss
Yours respectfully

Senator Money Sworn In-Prominent
People as Spectators.
WASHINGTON, Dec. THE attend
ance upon the session of the senate yes
terday both ON the floor and in the gal
leries was notably large despite the
well understood fact that little business
beyond the presentation of the presi-
dents message and the proceedings in
cident thereto would be transacted
Prior to the converting of the senate
the members passed half an hour in ex-
changing greetings. Mr.. Hanna (O.,)
who has been i'll for week, was given
cordial reception by his Republican
colleagues. Mr., Wolcott (Col. J, one of
the members of the international none
tary commission, was also given a
warm greeting. DR.. w. Godfrey
Hunter (K.) the recently appointed
minister to Guatemala. was an inter-
ested spectator of the proceedings from
a seat behind his friend Senator De-
Doe.
Charles Page Bryan. the United
States minister to China, was notable
figure in the reserved gallery, and in
the diplomatic gallery were several
members of the Chinese legation and
other members of the diplomatic corps.
When the senate convened after the
recess, Hon. II. D. S. Money, the new
senator from Mississippi, entered
the chamber, but the oath of office was
not administered to him during the
session
The reception and reading of the
presidents message was the important
and only feature of the day.

the congress NAV not find it easy task to
reduce the expenses of the government. it
should rot encourage their increase. These
expenses will, in my judgment. admit of a
decrease in many branches of the govern
ment without injury to the public service. It
is a commencing duty to keep the a propri-
atoms within the receipts of the government
and thus avoid a deficit.

TIE HOUSE SESSION.

The Reading of The Message About All
That Trrnspired.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE opening
day of the regular session in the house
passed without unusual incident of any
character. The formalities attending
the Inauguration of the session are dry
and except as spectacle hardly repaid
the crowds which thronged the public
and private galleries. Yet with few
exceptions the visitors sat through the
whole proceedings.
Mr.. Dingley, the floor leader of the
majority, Mr.. Bailey, the recognized
leader of the minority. and Mr.. Gros-
venor of Ohio enjoyed the distinguished
honor of being appointed to wait upon
the president. whose message was, of
course, the e2 ent of the day. Its read
ing was long and tedious, but it was
followed with close attention by the
members and the spectators in the gal.

There was no demonstration until
the reading was concluded, when the
Republicans joined in hearty express
sion of approval. Immediately after
the reading of the message the house
adjourned out of respect to the mem
cries of Senator George of Mississippi
and Representative Wright of Massa-
chusetts. who had died during It's
