ABIGAIL's MARRIAGE.

Two years later, his second daughter,
Abigail, was about to marry John
Adams, then lawyer in good practice.
Some of the parishioners manifested dis
appreciation for the profession of the
law, for long time lin the colonial
history of Massachusetts,, was hardly
thought to be an honest calling; besides,
the family of Mr.. Adams was not
thought to be on an equal footing with
that of the minister. His father was a
small farmer near Bainbridge, hence the
match was not considered good enough
for the minister's daughter. 1t was said
that Mr.. Smith once asked Abigail:
"Who is this young Adams, and what
does he expect to do?
She replied;
al know who he is. I 90 not know
what he is going to do, but | do know
who it is that is going with him, where
ever he goes"
1t is quite probable that the objec-
tons of his parishioners reached Mr..
Smiths ears, for it is said that soon after
the marriage took place, he replied to
them, in sermon from the text, Luke,
7:33: "For John came neither eating
bread nor drinking wine, and yet ye say
he hath devil"
But nothing daunted. Abigail Adams
went on from the day of her marriage
to the day of her death, with well-bal-
anced judgment and cheerfulness of soul,
frightening her husbands pathway.
1t matters not where we find her,
whether at her own fireside with her
family around her, at Quincy; or when
called upon to separate from husband
and son, to let them cross the seas, leav-

Lesson No. g." deals with the tendency
Of Catarrh to extend and invade the
different parts of the body. 1 will show
how it spreads and why il travels from
one part of the body to another.
The mucous membranes lining the in
terror hollow organs of the body form
a continuous unbroken surface, Comu.enc-
ing with the nose and throat. OF course
in this statement, we must except the
Kidneys and the Bladder, the mucous
membranes of which, although of the
same nature as membranes of other or
gans, are not connected with them. The
membranes Of the Kidneys and Bladder
form u system entirely Independent, al
though subject to the same Catarrhal cOI-
dItions that invade the other organs
which are lined with mucous membranes
We are speaking now, however, of the
mucous membranes which, beginning with
and lining the air passages Of the nose
and throat, branch off at a point in the
throat and extend by one route down
the Bronchial Tubes into the lungs, and
by their other route down the swallow
to the stomach and DO wels and the liver.

tions, resemble the wires of the Western

CUBA,S CAUSE FULL OF LIFE.
Opinion of a Member of the House
Foreign Affairs COMMITTEES.

ODinion of a Member of the House
Foreign Affairs COMMITTEES.
A prominent member Of the House Fay
eigu Affairs COMMITTEES in conversation with
q Times reporter last night expressed the
opinion that the PRESIDENT VIII undoubtedly
send his relief message at the beginning Of
the weel-: hat senator Morgan's joint reso-
hutton Will pass the Senate without trouble,
and that it viii he received by the House in
precisely the same manner that the concur
rent resolution was last year, with the most
enthusiastic friendliness. He haZalded the
opinion tnat the vote On it would be very
nearly unanimous.
This member Of the committee believes,
too, that the President VIII sign the reso-
luton without any hesitancy.
1.-THE condition of affairs on the island
has undergone a change. and "A great change,
ia favor of the Cuban cause" he said.
There iSuuquestiUn that when the struggle
began the whole island was not by any
means in a state OF war Comparativelyfew
of the Cuhans were in the fight atthe begin
ming
"But as it has progressed the spirit of
rebellion has gone ali through the island
like a flauIe. New recruits have been added
every day. Thousands of sympathizcTs have
not gone into the field because they could
not he provided with guns. At a conserva-
tive estimate there are million men on the
island today who want Cuha independent
and are irreconcilahle in their hostility to
Spain.
There have been great inroads made in
the Cuban forces by war and disease, but
where one has dropped five new men have
been ready to take his place On the other
hand, Spain isgrowing weaker andless aide
to carry on the fight every day.

REGULATING THE RAILWAYS
Action of the Annual Convention of
State Commissioners.
\ Chat With Assistant Secretary
Walker OF the Interstate Commits
siOn-Next Meeting Here.

Secretary Edward A Moseley and AS
sistant Secretary Martin S Walker, of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, have
just returned from ST. Louis, where they
have been attending the annual convention
of the railroad commissioners from all the
States. These genuemen filled the same
positions for the convention that they Oc-
cupy under the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
In a conversation with Mr. Walker this
morning he said to a Times reporter:
The Interstate Commerce Commission
was signally upheld in every way It's
recommendations were Endorsed, and tine
people who are working along lines mimi
Cal to it were frowned Oh. A very i'm
portant action of the convention was a
practically unanimous Endorsement of the
commissions position with regard to pool
ing.
"0ne member of the convention made a
motion to appoint a committee to consider
, the Foraker pooling bill, and to SO amend
it that il would meet with the approval of
lbe railroad commissioners This pill was
laid on the table by vote of 81 TO 3. The
argument OF the convention in this matter
was that if the commission is to have the
regulation of pooling after it is allowed
it ought rather to recommend pooling be-
fore il is allowed.
"A unanimous resolution was passed that
the Senat bill directing the commission
to prepare uniform classification Of
freight should become a law. The con-
Vention also unanimously voted that Con-
gress should pass legislation recommended
by the commissioner its last report, m akiIg
taeinterState commerce law more erfectuaL
The commission was very urgentoverthis
matter in its report, declaring that as the
law is now construed its practical effect
iveness is almost nullificd in many par
tiCulars This latter resolution also rIo-
yided that any modification of the law tn
tended To confer further powers upon the
railroads he disapproved unless the com
mission shall recommend it,"
The attitude of this convention IN the
question OF pooling after the rans-MiS
souri, decision Of the Supreme Court rs of
much significance.
The convention will meet next yea: in
Washington at the-roomS of the Interstate
Commerce Commission on the second Tues
day in May.

CATARRH
TREATED FREE
While Doctor Mccoy Is Teaching
the People
He Will Enforce His Teaching by Giving All His
Treatment For Catarrh Free-LeSSOn No. 3.
The Extension of Catarrh.

There has been so much writing and
talking and teaching by doctors and
specialists, so called, and men who are
not doctors, for that matter, about CatarrE;
so much writing and talking and teaching,
that is misleading and has created
that DIR. McCoy finds it necessary to
correct this false impression.
The treatment that is universally used
all over the country for Catarrhal troubles
is the treatment that DR.. McCoy oT1gi-
mated and formulated in $50; the treat
ment, by the way, which he vastly improved
In his later practice. The fact that IL is
his earlier treatment that is universally
used for CatarIh by doctors certainly en-
titles him to speak with authority regard
ing this disease, and in the series OF arti-
cles (copyrIghted) which will follow he
Will try To set the public, and the pro-
fessiOn is well, entirely right upon the
subject.
Doctor Mccoy Will give the people bis
treatment without charge while he is
teaching them about Catarrh. He will
treat them all, free, simply charging for
the medicine He is not selling medicine,
either. lie is simply giving them medi-
cine at the cost of it. His services aud
his treatment for Catarrb are entirely
free for the time that is, while he is
teaching the people the truth about Ca
tarrh in this series of articles or lessons.
