CLASH or THE CONFEREEs.
EntansIement Apt to Be indefinitely
Prolonged,

Washington, July 14.-The conferees on
the tariff bill found themselves to-day ap-
parently further apart than they were at
the beginning of the conference. There
was no immediate prospect of an agrees
ment and more than one member stated
that the entanglement was such that the
settlement might be indefinitely prolonged.
They state in very reserved manner that
there are numerous questions of differ.
ence, but refuse to go into details even
to other senators and members.
From all that can be learned, however.
there has been general recession from
the partial agreements made on the more
important articles until sugar, wool, hides,
ETC., can be definitely fixed. Sugar is still
the principal contention. The best re-
ports represent the House conferees,
Speaker Reed behind them, as holding out
for the House sugar schedule without any
change whatever, and the senators as
quite determined not 10 yield to this ex-
tent.
The House conferees insist that this
schedule must be definitely fixed before
other questions shall be again taken I'D.
One of the other questions of secondary
importance upon which sharp differences
have arisen, is the Senate amendment for
a stamp tax on stocks and bonds. The
House opposes the amendment but the
senators, while not welded to it, insist
upon it as necessary for revenue. The
House is also resisting strenuously the 20
per cent. duty placed upon hides, and is
at the same time persistently holding out
for a restoration of gunnybags, cotton ties,
etc, to the dutiable list.
A senator who talked with some Of the
conferees said: "They are in a temporary
deadlock and are tied up all along the line
1t looks as if the situation might remain
unchanged for week"
While this appears 20 be a correct out
line of the situation to-day, the prevail
ing impression is that settlement of one
or no important schedules would be
speedily followed by a complete adjust
ment of all other differences.
The conferees remained in session until
after O'Clock to-day and then adjourned
until tomorrow, omitting the usual even
ing session. They had not reached point
where they could call in the democratic
conferees, but all said progress had been
made. 1t was impossible to say whether
the Senate or House had the advantage
of the days work. as both sides looked
weary and troubled.

LIGHTNING;s MAD PRANK.
Two Farmers and the Family of One
of Them Shocked.

of Them Shocked.
Charlotte N. c., July H.-During a
thunderstorm, bolt of lightning cut some
queer capers at the suburban home
of A. R. Logic, two miles east of Char
lotte.
Mrs. Logic was in the house with the
children, and Mr.. Logic was in the barn
entertaining a farmer friend, who had
dropped in for shelter from the storm. All
at once, almost everybody on the place,
was knocked over. Lightning had
struck tail cedar tree in front of Mr..
Logie's residence, and when those about
the house were able to make an investi-
cation, some curious results were found
The tree was split open and set in a
blaze by the lightning, and two squir-
rels and six sparrows that had their homes
i'm the tree were killed. The bolt entered
the ground at the foot of the tree, ran
under the sidewalk, emerged at the steps
of the front porch, entered the house un-
der the front door, made a zig-zag course
through two rooms, then went out a win
dow and made for the barn. 1t hit Nj
Logic and the farmer, and the latter not
having a clear idea of the situation, got
upon his feet and advanced threatening
ly upon his host.
what did you hit me for?" he wanted to
known.
Mr.. Logic made hasty explanation and
saved himself.
Mrs Logic and the children were knock
ed from their feet and stunned, and It was
some time before they recovered. The
only damage done vas the shattering Of a
valuable collection of old china In one Of
the rooms Of the house.

ANOTHER DECAYING NATION
The Births in France No Longer So
Many Annually as the Deaths--Et-
feet on the Population.

Jacques Bertlllon, the inventor Of the
famous system of identifying criminals,
has written an article for the Temps
of Paris on the decreasing birth rate
in France and it's effect on the popula-
tion. He says:
Our fears are again surpassed. An
official report which is about to be pub
lished by the Jounal Official shows a
deficit of 1900 lives during the year of
1895.
This report is symptomatic, and of
its kind the very worst yet made. In
1890, 1891 and 1892 the statements
showed an excess of deaths over births.
But that was easily explained, as then
the grip was at it's height, and de-
creased the births while it raised so
alarmingly the number of deaths. In
1895 the figures have but one explana-
ton: the birth rate is growing less,
and it has been ever since the begin
ming of the century, rapidly tending to
place itself on an equal footing with
the mortality list. This has at last
happened. If the birth rate continues
to diminish-which it must do unless
some remedy is found--we must resign
ourselvs to the fact that France is
rapidly going out of existence, while
other countries grow daily more power
full, as the following figures will prove:

from the corner Of little beady eyes.
He shook his black head violently,
and then flew out the open window to
the limb of nearby tree.
There's no use trying to do any
thing with that crow" said Mrs. Mar
tin. "The rascal has hidden 1t some-
where, and we will never find 1t again.
l know what I'll do. I'll just have
the men kill that crow"
Dick evidently had overheard every
word, for he peeped into the room
anxiously, even in n manner betoken-
ing fright. When Mrs. Martin enter
ed the room an hour or so later she
found the ring lying on a table. Dick
was demurely perched on the back of
q chair.
$50 you did bring the ring back, did
you?" said Mrs. Martin, sharply eye
ing the bird.
Dick looked at her a moment, and
then hopping from the chair to the
floor, tried in a manner that was ex-
tremelJ ludicrous to beg her pardon.
TITS al right this time, Dick, but II
you ever steal ring again I'll have
you shot," said Mrs. Martin, warn
ingly.
Dick was so glad that he did a
double shuttle on the floor. Then he
flew out of the window to the tree
again, and chirped so noisily that he
attracted the attention of all the other
birds in the neighborhood.

NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS
One Cause of fsieepiessness That Can
he Readily Overcome.

Mr.. VIM. Handschu of seth St, Cot
ton Alley, Pittsburg. Pa, expresses
himself as follows regarding the new
remedy for that common and obstinate
disease, piles: II take pleasure in
stating that was afflicted with piles
that for three months L got no regular
Sleep I became completely prostrated,
the doctors did me no good; my brother
told me of the new remedy for piles,
the Pyramid Pile Cure; / purchased
from my druggist three so cent bottles
and they completely cured me. l am
once more at my work but for this eX-
cellent medicine / should be on my
back. I take great pleasure in writ
ing this letter because so many people
are sufferers from this trouble who like
myself did not know where to look for
q permanent, reliable, safe cure.
Experience with the Pyramid Pile
Cure in the past three years has DEM
onstrated to the medical profession,
as well as to thousand of sufferers
from piles, that it is the safest and
most effectual cure ever offered to the
public, containing no opiates or poisons
of any kind, painless and convenient
to handle and being sold by druggists
at so cents and 81 per box, Is within
the reach of every sufferer.
Very frequently two or three boxes
have made a complete cure of chronic
cases that had not yielded to other re-
medies for years.
There is scarcely a disease more ag-
gravating and obstinate to cure than
the various forms OF piles and it is a
common practice to use ointments,
| salves and similar preparations con-
tanning dangerous polsons to remove
the trouble. The Pyramid has sup
erceded all IL these Intellectual rem
edies and no one suffering with any
rectal trouble make any mistake in
| giving the Pyramid a trial
If in doubt as to the nature Of your
trouble send to the Pyramid Drug Co.,
| Albion, Mich. for a valuable little
book on piles, describing all forms Of
the disease and the method OF cure.
Any druggist can furnish the Pyramid
| Pile Cure as it is the best known and
most popular remedy for piles and If
| you ask him he can doubtless refer you
to many people in your vicinity who
have been cured completely by it.
