WASHINGTON NOTES.
On Monday the Senate passed ON SO
pages Of the new tariff bill

On Monday the Senate passed on sc
pages of the new tariff bill
When the wool schedule was before
the Senate, Tuesday, Senator Foraker
of Ohio. jumped into the fray and fnr-
! nished one of the most Interesting Incl
dents of the whole debate For time
it looked as though there would be a Sc
rious split among the Republicans, but
the difficulty was. for the present at
least, laid over. 1t was highly amusing
to see how Senator Foraker went after
his Republican colleagues. His asser-
ton that there had been an agreement
for triple duty on washed wool of the
third class sJirred up the usually calm
and collected Senator Allison, OF Iowa
TO an unwonted heat. 1t is a question
whether he ever grew so excited in de
bate before. But Foraker kept cool, and
called on the Senate to witness who was
the excited man. Senator Platt of
Connecticut, tried to come to the rescue.
but the Ohio man tied him up in bow
knot by making admit that he had him
self written out the alleged agreement
as to rates. Senator Quay, who is work
ing against this triple duty in the in
terest OF the Philadelphia Garnet manu-
facturers, came into the discussion and
Senator Foraker turned on him and
said that he Quay had been present
when the agreement was made and had
been a party to it. Senator Penrose.
undeterred by the i'll luck of those who
had preceded him, put his oar in, and
was blandly Informed that the state
ments he was making referred to an en-
tirely different matter from that under

 How peaceful 1t looks,'' said he.
 ''Yes," said she, "but how very wet"
 True" he observed, and yet how calm and restful 1t appears. With you by my side could sail on for ever.''
 "Yes?" she queried.
 Yes" he affirmed, flor ever. Will you, dearest?'
 "On one condition" she replied. "I am a cautious girl, and do not wish to be over-hasty. But I will let you make the test, and when the test is made and you say it's successful, I will go with you"
 And that test, love?" he cVed.
 ''You take boat and sail on for ever, and after you have sailed on for ever tell me how it works" she answered.
 And she left him meditating.-Har- per's Bazar.

TO SAVE OLD PUTS CLIFF.
Citizens of Greenwich, Conn, to Try t

Citizens of Greenwich, Conn.,, to Try to
 Prevent the Closing of the Old Road.
 Greenwich. July 12.-Henry Welsh of Greenwich. through his counsel, Fred A. Hubbard of Greenwich and Julius B. Custis of Stamford, has obtained from Judge Nicholas B. Downs of the Stam- ford city court 8 temporary injunction restraining the warden and board of burgesses from closing road known as the Old Oak road, and thereby shutting off the famous cliff where General Israel Putnam made his daring ride when pursued by General Tryon's red coats in revolutionary days. The road was opened by the Connecticut Turn pike company more than century ago The warden and board of burgesses, who have authority to close or open highways, intended to close the road a year ago on a petition from an adjoin- ing property owner, who, it was re- ported, desired to sell land to E. B. Baker of New York MT. Baker pro- posed to build a house on the site.
 A. Foster Higgins of the New York chamber 0? commerce, whose summer home is near the road, threatened to have an injunction issued, and the mat ter was apparently dropped.
 A few weeks ago MT. Higgins went to Mexico and the matter came up, when the warden and board of bur gesses voted in favor of the petition. The next day Lawyer Hubbard received an offer of money from indignant citi- zens to bring the suit. The injunction alleges that the closing of the road is to gratify somebody's personal vanity and is not asked by the public, nor is such closing necessary for public con- venience. The writ is returnable in September.

TU 4 WHIT IC7TON BY COUKTS, Delay in Bridgeport Improvements by tn
 Consolidated RaiIroad


 At the meeting of the directors of the New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad, held in this city Satur- day, it was decided to abandon all work on the four track improvements now in progress at Bridgeport until the appeal of Wheeler & Howes wholesale coal dealers, from the decision of the rail- road commissioners has been settled by the courts. A large piece of property was condemned for the use of the road recently, and the compensation to the owners was fixed by the commission Wheeler & Howes have just appealed to the superior court. The court Is now on vacation, and will not sit again for two months. Should the court decide adversely to the action of the railroad commission, directors of the road say that the present layout will be given up The management was about to push the work to completion as rapidly as possible when this obstacle was met with. Several hundred thousand dol lars was to have been expended this summer in these improvements.

POINT ABOUT THE TEETH.
How Harm Comes to the Enamel Near the
 Gums.


 The majority of cavities in the teeth are near the gums. The enamel is thin nest there and it only needs the use of a harsh tooth brush and few pack ages of grit, sold under some fanciful name, to break down the enamel and leave the teeth defenceless. The sensi- tive teeth of thousands of people are made so by harmful preparations sold to clean" them.
 Would you polish your silver with sand? Certainly not. Then why scratch and grind the beautiful enamel of your teeth with gritty tooth prepar- ations? Do you think this will make them white? Nonsense! Keep them healthy and smooth and clean with Pearlo-dento, the ideal tooth paste, and you will preserve them.
 Ask your dentist about the rubbish sold to clean the teeth. The idea of cutie fish and pumice stone and cheap powders and liquid soaps combined with alcohol is giving way to the more rational and truly scientific formula of Pearlo-dento. This Is the only tooth paste which fills all the requirements of dental surgeons. It~has a delicious flaVor and delicate scent, and combines the properties essential to teeth and gums Pearlo-dento cuts and removes all grease, neutralizes the acids that invite decay, counteracts accumulation of tartar stimulates the gums, retards the decomposition of food that lodges in crevices, sweetens the breath and renders the enamel perfectly smooth. Pearlo-dento also overcomes the sen- sitiveness so common nowadays, Use Pearlo-dento freely with a soft tooth brush. You will be glad you tested it. Ask your druggist for Pearlo-dento.

''Weel, my lord" said the Scot frankly, T doubt yell find no war rant for it in the Screepture Did ye ever read of the Apostles going out shooting?" ''NoI true,' replied the Bishop. They had no game in Pales- tine in those days; they went out fish ing instead. ad."-Household Words.
