HENRY cLAY's vALEDIcToRY.
All Who Heard hi. Pathetic Farewell

All Who Heard His Pathetic Farewell
to the Senate Were Moved to Tears.
John f. Coyle writes of Henry Clay's
farewell to the Senate in the Ladies'
Home Journal, regarding 1t as the
most dramatic event ever witnessed in
the United States Senate. Almost
from the opening words of the famous
valedictory the vast assemblage of peo-
pie were in tears, and the Great Com
moner" was frequently interrupted by
the sobs of his auditors. The scene
was indeed impressive as Mr.. Clay
pronounced the concluding words of
his farewell to public life" says Mr..
Coyle. He stood for a moment after
in reverential attitude, while all about
him strong men, swayed by the mag
netic power of the great orator, wept
in silence. The hushed suspense of in
tense feeling and attention peryaded
the crowded assemblage as the famous
statesman, with lowering eyes, s
ed his seat. For several moments the
silence was unbroken; Senators sat as
If in the shadow of some impending
calamity; men Of all parties seemed
equally overcome by the pathos and
majesty of the great statesman's fare
well.
LAS Mr.. Clay rose to leave the cham
Der after adjournment, which directly
followed his address, and after he had
said farewell to all the other Senators,
he encountered Mr.. Calhoun. The eyes
Of the whole assemblage were fixed on
these two old friends and old political
antagonists. There was a pause in the
demonstration which awaited Mr..
Clay-the moment of suspended antici-
patton was almost painful. For five
years they had been estranged, and the
only words which had passed between
them had been those harshly spoken In
debate. But now, as they met, the
old time came over them. They re-
membered only the political compan-
lonship of twenty years standing. The
intervening differences which had
chilled their hearts toward each other
were forgotten. The tears sprang to
their eyes. They shook each other cor
daily by the hand, i~nterchanged a
God bless YOU and parted. The re-
leased suspense which awaited this
scene found ven In shouts and cheers,
which were taken up by the crowds
outside the Senate chamber expecting
Mr.. Clay's appearance. He was sur
rounded by the waiting thousands on
his way to his carriage, and throngs
followed him even to his hotel"

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
OF the disease, and giving the patient
and assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its cura-
tive powers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

Augusta, March 16.-Lawyer Her bert
NJ. Heath of Augusta. speaking for near
ly all of the eleotrio railroads of Maine.
appeared before the COMMITTEES on rail-
roads this afternoon to oppose the general
bill drawn by Lawyer G. p. Stetson Of
Bangor and presented by judge Savage
In the Senate and found himself con-
fronted by new bill drawn by Lawyer
by Representative Maoomber Of Augusta,
mem ber OF the committee. The new bill
amends tie public laws of 1893 relating
to the location of street railroads and it
puts all locations In towns and oities un-
der the general law making no distino-
tion in regard to population. 1t provides
that the municipal officers shall be ask ed
to grant locations and in onse of refusal
the company may appeal to the Supreme
court which shall appoint commission
to give hearings and decide upon the ad-
visibility of granting locations and upon
the route which the proposed road shall
follow. The original draft made ii q
matter of suit in court instead Of provid-
ing a commission.
MIR. Spear, who appeared for four ex-
mayors and other leading citizens of
Bangor was inclined to oppose the meas
ure until MIR. Maoomber's amendment
was suggested. The feature of the hear
ing was sharp attack on the Public
Works company of Bangor.
The bill provides that a complete
survey at the expense of the company
shall be submitted to the municipal
officers of towns when they are asked to
locate road and to the Supreme courts
commission in case of an appeal to that
body.
Mem bers of the committee who have
had to answer questions daily for six
weeks about the committees disposition
of the Westbrook. Windhaln and Harri-
son Railroad company's request for a
charter now say that this bill is designed
to cover such cases and that 1t puts the
location of that road in the hands Of the
towns along the proposed line, providing
of course, the bill chartering the road is
dropped on account of the general pro-
visions made in the bill under discussion
today.
