INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE.
First Meeting for Consideration of the Anti
 Scalpers Bill.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The senate com mittee on interstate commerce held it's first executive meeting today for the con- sideration of the anti-scalping bill. The hearings were brought to close and the committee decided to exert every effort to reach vote at the meeting to be held week from today.
 The opponents of the bill did not evince a disposition to postpone the vote longer than necessary to present their views, and the vote would not under any circum- stances be deferred longer than two weeks. There was also a general agreement to accept the house bill as basis.
 At today's meeting several amendments in addition to those made by the house committee were suggested. Among those was one compelling the railroad companies to redeem the unusued portions of tickets at a rate proportionate to the cost of the entire ticket; another mitigating the pen altes imposed for violation of the law, and still another consolidating the bill with the bill introduced by Senator Culom last week for the improvement of the status of the interstate commerce commits sion. It was stated that other amend ments still would be offered, and the inti- nation was given out that one of these might provide that passes should be made good to the bearer.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant Simple, But Safe Effectual Cure
 For It.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable.
 The usual symptoms are full or bloating sensation after eating, accompanied some- times with sour or watery risings, forma- tion of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing; headache fickle appetite, nervousness and general played out, languid feeling. There is often foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue, and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy inf1amed condition.
 The cure for this common and obstinate trouble is found in treatment which causes the food to be readily. thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach.
 To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do, and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared.
 According to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal tablet, composed of Diastase, Asep- tic Pepsin, little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids.
 These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a pat ent medicine, can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals.
 MT. N. J. Booher, of PHO Dearborn St., Chicago, H., writes: ''Catarrh is Q local condition resulting from neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes infiamed and the poisonous discharge therefrom, passing backward into the throat, reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities prescribed for me for three years for catarrh of stom- ach without cure, but today I am the hap piest of men after using only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. l cannot find appropriate words to express my good feel ing.
 'I have found fesh appetite and sound rest from their use.''
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest preparation as well as the simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of stomach, bilious ness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloating after meals.
 Send for little book, mailed free, on stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart Co.,, Marshall, Mich. The tablets can be found at all drug stores.

8 1ee. e.0ae, or e.e per bent On the eost Of the

8. .169 04s, or 9.e per cent on the cost of the canal.
 It is significant that the report of the committee contained the following clause. speaking of the canal: "It will provide water communication for the full deposits of Western Pennsylvania to reach the great lake cities, and districts reached through tributary waterways, which are the natural markets for coal and coke To- cated in the Pittsburg district and on the Monongahela river, and leave the lower Ohio and Mississippi river coal markets for the Kanawha river, Tennessee, Ken lucky and Alabama coal producers"
 There is an intmaticu that our friends here are willing to adopt the ancient maxim divide ct impera and to allow of classif- cation of the coal markets according to geographical liqles. Bills have been passed by the legislatures of Pennsylvania and Ohio authorizing the construction of a ship canal and the matter is now before con gress. It was originally proposed that the federal government should endorse a lim- ited number of bonds, that the govern ment should be represented an the board of directors that it should approve the plans of construction, and control the tolls through the interstate commerce com mission, with limitations as to the dispcs- tion of the earnings. It was also proposed that under certain contingencies the gov ernment should assume absolute control of the canal and declare 1t toll free. Whether this scheme ever goes through or not, one timing is certain, the Pittsburg district is fighting for cheaper ore, and cheaper ore it will have. I do not think that there is so much fear of competition from the south as from immediate neigh bors. Southern iron does not cut much figure in the steel market as 1t goes chiefly to foundries, mills and pipe works. Pitts burg iron goes into steel, and the fiercest rivalry is between steel markets. Until Alabama comes into the steel market Pittsburg will not regard her competition very seriously. Our friends here are will.

ing to divide territory in coai, but it re- mains to be seen if they will express the same amiable sentiments as to steea.
 The growth of the coaa product in the south has impressed upon the Pittsburg people the avisability of suggesting divis- ion of territory. Will the same thing come about when our steel production assumes respectable proportions? Looking at the enormous expenditure of money here in every sort of labor-saving device, the in- terest shown in the ship canal, the build- ing of the Carnegie road to Lake Erie the Cotton dumping steel are cars. the in- troduction of metal-conveying apparatus tour old Birmingham friend, Mehdng, seems to have struck 1t rieh), the conclus- ion ds forced upon one that when the struggle over the steel market does come, as come it will, we shall have our hands full. Here will be the great battlefield of the future. Our production of iron they don't care about, they are willing to divide coal territory. but when it comes to steel there will be a struggle worth talking about Some of us will not see it. others may live to see it and sniff the battle as an old war horse, but will be too stiff in the joints to join in, wfile the young men IIUW tlftSiAifS hlOi NAc NAAi now W S~~~- the brunt of strife.
 The supremacy of Pittsburg in the steel market has been acquired at the cost CT untold millions of money. It will not be destroyed in a day, or year, and may never be even seriously threatened curing our life time.
 Why should not a division of territory for steel be as good thing as for coal! If we have a natural right to certain coal territory, why not to certain steel terri tory? l, for one, do not believe in getting into trouble if We can honorably stay out. There is enough territory for al of us, and instead of fighting each other we should agree to shinny on our own side, and whack the other fellow only when he crosses the line VIM. B. PHILLIPS.

FROM w. 5. PHILLIPS.
Discusses the Subject of Water Transportation
 Which Interests Birmingham.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Anent the recent meeting of the water ways convention in Tuscaloosa, and the interest that is shown in the possibility of opening the coal and ore regions of Ala bama to water transportation, perhaps some data gathered from the report of the Pittsburg committee as to the Pittsburg and Lake Erie canal might not be out of place. From Pittsburg harbor to Lake Erie near Ashtabula, the distance is 126.16 miles, and the total 1ockage is 54S feet. The shortest air line distance from Pitts burg to Lake Erie is S4.3 miles, so that the canal would be only 1T per cent longer than an air line railway
 There would be required AS locks. The dimensions recommended for the canal are: Depth, 15 feet; bottom width, 107 feet top width, 16O feet. The amount of water required per day would be 40OOO,00O cubic feet, which would be sufficient for a traf- fc of from sixteen to twenty million tons a year. The estimated cost is $33, 900 ,000, including a system of arc lights from end to end It is thought that during the first year the traffic through the canal would be as follows:
 Tons. Iron orc. .......... ,,............., 7,000,0 ,000 Coal.... ........... ........ f00J0Oo Coke. .................. ...... ..... z,ooooO5 Manufactured products ...... ...... 100000 Limestone, lumber and general
 merchandise ... ... .. ...... .... 1 1,50c 900
 IS, ,500, 900 But the estimates are based on 13,0OO,0OO tons. The estimated tolls amount to 3169,- O49, and the maintenance to $250 900, leaving s2,919,O49 net annual revenue, or s.9 per cent on the investment. Taking the freight charges on iron ore from Lake Superior to Ashtabula at 80 cents per ton, which price was about the average during 1897, and the transfer and dockage charges from Ashtabula to Pittsburg at $1.15, the present freight, transfer and dockage charges between Lake Superior ports and Pittsburg are s1.95. The canal proposes to effect saving here of 77 cents per ton, by hauling this ore from Ashtabula to Pittsburg for 13 cents and a toll of 25 cents per ton. In other words, the proposition is to do for 3S cents what now costs $1.15. The reductions on coal are to be about 72 cents per ton, so that Pittsburg coal may be delivered at Chicago for $167. at Du- luth for $1.50, at New York for $1.75, and at Montreal for SLIGO. Last year the all- rail route on coal from Pittsburg to Chi cago was $2.25. In June, 1S97 ore was brought from tho head of Lake Superior to Lake Erie ports for 60 cents, and re- turn charges of coal were taken at 20 cents.
 It is estimated that in the Mahoning and shenango valley tho canal would effect saving of 46 cents ton on ore; in the Pittsburg district (Allegheny county), T la Ohio valley "A Pennsylvania, outside of Allegheny coun- ty, 57 cents, and Pittsburg coal, 72 cents. The total annual saving in these districts would be S4,496,0S2. One estimate makes the annual saving on all articles to be carried through the canal s17,7eS. .OO2, of which the canal company would receive

Photographs In Decoration.

Photographs can now be used for the
decoration of rooms. OF course, it has
long been the custom to display the
photographs prominently in frames or
on mantel shelves, but not until quite
recently have they been considered
possibilities in actual decoration by
fashionable households. Frames ara
being laid aside and the cards are
tackled on the walls as they are. Ev-
erywhere on the walls of every room
except the parlor and dining room
land even those apartments are not
exempted nowadays in country houses)
are photographs to be found. The
lore the better, and, of course, to be
quite the thing, they must all be
photographs of people, not photographs
of cenes OF amateur efforts,
though a well taken amateur
group or single picture is allowable.
The fashion, however, is the lavish
displaying of individual portraits, and
it is the plan of the day to empty each
album, each box and each. case and
tack up their contents. These pictures,
however must not be put on the walls
Unfortunately; they must be arrang-
ed in patterns set in the paneling OF
doors, attached to the walls in wheels,
stars or some design of that nature.
Brass headed tacks of small size are to
be used and the varied effects that may
be shown in a house are indicative OF
the degree of artistic taste of the men,
Der of the family who has superintend-
ed the decoration.

HAVE YOU A PIAZZA2
with a Little Furnishing 1t Can he
Made an Ideal summer Retreat.

SeA 49,
Made an Ideal summer Retreat.
j. Harry Adams illustrates and de-
scr1bes in the Woman's Home Compan-
Ion some very clever devices for fur
nishing the front piazza. while a.
few chairs are the only necessary
pieces of furniture for the comfortable
disposal of the several members of
the family, it is oftentimes a pleasure
to convert the piazza, or a portion of it,
into a convenient lounging and read
ing room. 1t will be q very simple
matter to arrange the few odd pieces
OF furniture necessary to bring about
the change. A few chairs, a table,
divan, hammock and some stools, a
rug and some large plants in jar
dinieres, If t~astefully arranged, will
work a wonderful change in the ap-
pearance of any piazza; and If the sun
should shine on any part sufficient to
annoy the occupants, a few large bam-
boo screens can be fastened in place
to shade it nicely and protect ones
eyes from the unpleasant top light.
When old furniture is to be renovated
for this purpose it should be we'll fas-
tened together with screws to insure
the strength and safety necessary;
then, having been sandpapered to re-,
move rough places and old varnish,
two or three successive thin coats of
some desirable colored paint can be,
applied until the appearance is salts
factory. Upholstered seats or backs
that are pretty well worn can be re-
covered with denim or other service
able and strong material, and fastened
in place with upholstery tacks with
large oval heads. If the old furniture
that is found in the attic or cellar
should not be available for piazza use,
it is possible to make some very good
pieces from some boxes, boards and a
little upholstery-goods. Furniture of
this description will be found very SER
viceable on a piazza, as it needs little
or nc care, and if somewhat abused
regret will not follow, as in the abuse
of a better grade that has been pur-
chased. Awnings about the upper part.
of a piazza are oftentimes a necessity
to keep the sunlight off, and conse-
quently keep it cool, and in any event
they prove a satisfactory shield to the
eyes from the light above. Where they
are used the mild and subdued under
light that prevails is soft and pleasing,
particularly if a buff or s~traw-colored
canvas is employed"
