Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. FRY it.

IS an exceedingly good figure for amateur
competition. The official order III which
the men finished is as follows: Sites,
LIE Mat, Williams, Hewes, Hawes, with
Cassin out and Morris disqualified While
the race was not so exciting as the one
of the previous night, it was an exceed
ingiy pretty one TO look at.
This afternoon at ; O'Clock there viii be
a race bet ween the fast lads who skate at
the rink Some Of these youngsters are
extremely speedy considering their age
and size, and the contests are sure 10 be
close as well as productive of much amuse-
ment. This event will be known as the
Brownie races.
The amusing race between little Jack
Mace, who is about four feet high and who
impersonates policeman, and big Lewis,
who takes the character Of tramp. will
take place at o'clock this evening in
stead of the afternoon, as was announced.
At O'Clock the three-mile race and last
event will take place. Sites leads so far,
with one first and one third, and Cassin
second, with one first. This order may be
considerably changed by tonight's results,
and there is consequently great deal of
interest centered.
Through a misunderstanding it was
stated that Morris and Sites were tied
for second place in the mile race Thursday
evening. Instead of this, Morris was given
the place, which he clearly deserved.

THE HOUSE WAS OBSTINATE
1t Rejected the Conference Report
OH the A. and P. Bill.
The Debate Cav e Rise to an Aeri-
mOnious Encounter Of Messrs.
Powers and Barrett.

War between the States of Massachusetts,
and Vermont ragged for brief period on
the floor of the House yesterday, over
allegations Of railroad wrecking in those
Messrs. Powers of Vermont and Bar
rett, of Massachusetts and the occasion
OF strife was the consideration of the re-
port of the conferees upon the bill pro-
yiding for the incorporation OF the pur-
chasers of the Atlantic and Pacific Rail
road.
The provisions OF the bill Were antagon-
ized by Mr.. Barrett, who charged that
they concealed gigantic scheme OF stock
jobbery. MFR. Powers denied that there
was anything Of the sort in the bill, and
added that IL there had been any wreckng
of the road, as suggested by the gentle
man from Massachusetts, it had been done
by people III and around Boston. In this
connection he sarcaStically referred to
Mr.. Barretts Congressional experience,
which he compared to that of a rose which
withered and wasted its sweetness on the
desert air.
In reply, Mr.. Barrett gave the House
the history of the rcceivership of the
Central Vermont Railroad, conducted by
the superinten dent OF that State, and
extending over a period OF thirty years,
which he said was the most fraudulent
case of railroad wrecking the country had
ever seen. The report of the conferees
was rejected-T1 to l 43 = and the conferees
were instructed to insist upon the retention
i'll the bill OF the House amendments, the
principal one OF which forbade the issue
OF stock except for par value received.
The bill making appropriations for the
Military Academy was sent to conference
on the Senate amendments thereto, the
House conferees being Messrs Curtis,
Griffin, and Tyler
The House refused to take up bills on
the private calendar, but for nearly an hour
continued in committee OF the whole and
considered the agricultural bill, without
completing it. In the course of it's discus
sion Mr.. Hardy, Republican, Indiana, be
gan speech in favor of the acquisition of
Cuba, and being refused permission to con-
clude, the five minute rule being in opera
tion, gave notice that no bill should pass
the House by unanimous consent for the
remainder OF the season.
AT 3 O'Clock the House took a recess
until 8 p, m, the evening session to be
for the consideration of private pension
bills.

last four months of the voyage his record
was one to be proud Of His boats crew
had fastened TO more whales than any
other, and now and then the captain had
cautioned him about being too rash. One
day all the boats were lowered for soi-
tary whale. lie was big one and fight
err He smashed two boats, and Tom Holly
picked up the crews and took them to
the ship. The whale headed for the ship
and Tom Holly cut in and harpooned him
and sheared him off. For the next half
hour the whale dragged two boats after
him. Then he turned, and with his great
lower jaw swinging from side to side and
his flukes lashing the water to foam, he
rushed upon the captain boat. The sweep
of his jaw caught her and sent her high
in air and flung her crew into the sea, and
it was then they called Tom Holly a cow
ard His crew wanted to dash in to the
rescue of the men, but he ordered his
boat off. They said he was pale-faced and
trembling and confused in his orders, and
that the whale had but to lift his flukes to
bring abouta tragedy. 1t ma de indifference
that he finally put the boat alongside and
drove the lance into his life, and that ev-
cry ma n from the shattered boat was saved.
He had shown cowardice in not dashing in.
Neither the whale ships out of Salem, nor
the residents of the town had any use for
coward.
Mollie Williams, daughter of Capt.
Williams, of the Golden Horn,'' had
promised to marry Tom Holly when the
True Blue had returned from this voyage.
She heard the gossip, made dozen diff
ferent men repeat the story, and then she
tween them. A Salem girl must marry a
Salem sailor, and who could remember
when a Salem sailor had been called
coward? There was Just one person in
all that town who took Tom Holly's part,
and singularly enough that was Mollies
own father. He had always liked the
young man, and would have been proud
of him as a son-inlaw. He might have
been excited and confused under the Cir
cumstances, but when he left the men
of the shattered boat to shift for them
selves he exhibited good Judgment. They
could support themselves in the water for
a time, and had he dashed in and his own
boat shattered, with the ship five miles
away, there must have been a loss of life
1t was the thing to do-to draw the whale
off and then attack him. Capt. Williams
reasoned 1t out with Molle, or tried to,
but he was alone in his opinion. A hum
1red men had said that Tom Holly showed
the white feather; the women and children
Of Salem said that he was a coward. OF
what use for one single person to speak

"A pirate. You think, eh?F' replied the
captain. We'll. / shouldn't wonder. What
will you do, Tom"
BEAT him off, sir!'' was the quiet reply.
''Ill soon have the men at the guns and
ready for those boats. Have you any or
ders to give?'
None l am blind and helpless, and I
leave it all 10 you You know what Will
happen if we are captured. Wed better go
down fighting than to have our throats cut
And, Tom, if worst comes TO worst, and
there is no hope, want you toto
He lifted his hands to his bandaged eyes
and sroaDcd and rocked To and fro. The
mate glanced at Mollie over her fathers
bowed head, and she turned pale as her
eyes met his for an instant She wanted to
question him-to give him an encouraging
word-to say that she had faith in his Coar-
age, but the words would not come. She
had once taunted him with cowardice -
believed with all Salem that be was an
object of contempt He bowed to her and
went on deck, and the next moment his
deep-throated voice was heard calling upon
the men TO cast loose the guns and make
ready for a fight.
Yes, it's a pirate craft" unused the
captain, as he listened to The sounds on
