Quate protection. He thought some of
the Democrats had made mistake in
emphasizing the tariff issue. 1t was
not battle of the schedule; it was
the battle of the standards.
Pierce CD of Tennessee repudiated
the Democrats on his side who were
selfshly seeking protection for them
selves. Whether it was mica in
North Carolina, beauxite in Georgia,
sugar in Louisiana or cotton through
out the South
Walden Smith (R.) of Michigan pro-
tested because opportunity had not
been accorded to amend the bill in any
of it's schedules, Notwithstanding the
assurance given at the opening of the
debate. But he was a prOtectionist,
and would vote for the bill.
The debate was suspended for few
minutes while the committee rose for
the purpose of allowing King of Utah
to take the oath of office.
Allen CD of Mississippi stirred up a
controversy by his statement that the
bill placed binding twine on the free list
and cotton ties on the dutiable list But
the South, he said, did not want any
of the pork"
Dolliver explained that there was a
duty on binding twine as against Ca
NADIA, our only competitor in this arti-
Gle. Cotton ties had been placed on
the dutiable list, he said, because it
had been demonstrated that the pro-
lection of our manufacturers lowered
the price Of cotton ties
Johnson R) Of Indiana declared that
the bill was not the result of careful
painstakipg deliberations of the House
because there had been no time given
to so over it by sections and make
amendments. 'If this bill was to be-
come law in the precise terms in
which it will pass the House, 1 would
hesitate to give it my support he
said, but because 1 believe the Senate
will make it consistent protection
measure, / propose to vote for it."
One of the features of the closing
hour was brief speech by White (R.)
Of North Carolina, the only colored
man in the House, in commentator OF
the bill.
Messrs. Smith CD Of Kentucky, Will
son CD of South Carolina, Mahan and
Clark CD of Missouri, w. A. Stone R.)
of Pennsylvania, Curtis Cd of Iowa,
make brief remarks.
AS the hour for voting arrived the
excitement increased. Fifteen minutes
before 3 O'Clock McMillin was recog-
nized for five minutes to close the de-
bate for his side. He briefly reviewed
the extraordinary methods by which
the bill was being brought to a vote.
He charged that amendments were
cut off because the leaders of the ma
jority feared they might be crushed by
their own cohorts. II defy you now."
he said, Ito give us an opportunity to
amend the sugar schedule, which was
framed to protect the biggest trust in
| the country. And to-day you crown
the infamy of the bill by making it
retroactive"
McMillin concluded by having read
at the Clerks desk the words cf Speak

casion Of the Wilson law with these
words said he, Il let the bill go forth

In most instances colds are the result of
imprudence or a lack of forethought. Even
in cases where a sudden change in the
weather or an unavoidable exposure is re-
eponsible for the first slight cold, fresh and
more severe colds may be avoided by OBJ
serving little care. But "a mere cold " is
such a common thing and causes so little
inconvenience that Notwithstanding all pre-
vious experiences we neglect to take the
most simple precautions, in the way OF
wearing suitable clothing, the avoidance OF
draughts, etc.
One should always bear in mind the
necessity of exercising constant vigilance
to avoid catching cold. When the tempera-
ture in the house is higher than that out OF
doors, never go out without putting on an
additional wrap. Never sit in a cold room
even though you do not feel chilly. And it
is better to suffer little discomfort from
wearing heavy underclothing than to run
the risk of chill.
The following letter from lady in Sicily
Island, La. graphically illustrates the dis
tressing consequences that are liable to fol-
low simple cold.

Police Captain Ash Arrests Faro.

Captain of Police Ash raided the faro
game at the corner of Second and K
streets last night and arrested the
dealer, John Burdette, who deposited
5000 cash at the Police Station for his
appearance before Justice Davis this
morning.
In order to gain access to the game
Ash assumed a clever disguise, which
carried him through successfully. No
other arrests were made.

an English consul at Wazzan, and l

ny of the subterfugeS whereby they

good fellow came to my relief. He
