RELIEF BILL PASSED
Maine Survivors and Victims
to Be Reimbursed.
A YEARS PAY FOR EACH MAN.
Congressman Cousins OF Iowa Pays an
Eloquent Tribute to the Gallant Dead.
Party Lines Ignored and Unani-
mous Voting For the Measure.

WASHINGTON. March 22.-The house
yesterday unanimously passed the bill
for the relief of the survivors and vic
Tins of the Maine disaster. The bill
reimburses the surviving officers and
men for the losses they sustained to an
amount not to exceed a years sea pay
and directs the payment of a sum equal
to a years pay to the legal heirs of
those who perished. There was quite
spirited debate over an amendment
suggested by Mr.. Cannon to give the
survivors each a years pay out Of
hand instead of attempting to reim-
purse them for actual losses. Some old
alleged scandals in connection with the
reimbursement Of the survivors of the
Samoan disaster were raked up, but
the debate in the end was saved from
4 rather sordid tone by a beautiful trib-
ute paid to the gallant dead by Mr..
Cousins OF Iowa in a short but eloquent
speech He aroused the galleries to
spontaneous applause when he said
that while the vultures might be watch
ing over the dark waters of Havana
harbor for the belated dead. above all
the eagles piercing eye was watching
TOR the truth. The remainder Of the
day was occupied in the consideration
Of the old claim of John Roach, the
shipbuilder for 1891, 900. No action was
taken upon the claim.

Bright faced, happy, rollicking, playful
babies, thousands Of them all over the
broad land, have in their bodies the seeds
OF serious diseases, and while they laugh
and play are facing death. The mother, in
the majority of cases, Is unconsciously ro-
sponsible for this sad state of affairs. Where
tie mother, during the anxious period, suf-
fers from weakness and disease OF the dis
tinctly feminine organism, it Is useless to
expect q sound and healthy baby. Every
woman NAV be strong in a womanly way,
and have robust happy children.
A wonderful medicine for women is DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t is the
discovery of an eminent and skillful spe-
ciaiist, Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years
chief consulting physician to the lnvalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
N Y. 1t is a medicine that acts directly
and only on those delicate and important
ORGANS that bear the burdens of maternity.
IL makes them strong, healthy and elastic.
II allavs inflammation, heals liberation,
stops deblitating drains and soothes pain.
It gives rest and tone to the tired nerves. II
fits for wifehood and motherhood. II does
away with the discomforts Of the eXpectanl
period and makes baby's coming easy and
Comparatively painless. Honest druggists
will not offer an inferior substitute for the
sake of little extra profit.

Yale bestowed honorary degrees up- on several distinguished men with very impressive presentation addresses last week Wednesday evening. Among those honored were Rt. Rev Chauncey B. Brewster, B. A., bishop coadjutor of the Protestant Episcopal church in Con- necticut, the degree of Doctor of Divin- ity: Geo. H. Knight, M D., Lakeville, that of Master of Arts; and President Mckinley the degree of Doctor of Law.
 Wirt Walker, a brakeman on freight train fell under the cars at Plainville last Thursday and had both legs crush ed. He was sent to hospital but died about an hour after.
 The dead body of male infant was found in Hartford last Friday with marks of strangulation about it's throat. It looked as though the child was born Thursday but not at the place where it was found.
 Louis Payne, son of Mir and Mrs E S. Payne of Hartford was drowned near by Windsor by going beyond his depth while in bathing last Friday.
 Bernard Bunzer was taken to St.. Francis hospital last Thursday in Hart ford, suffering from bad attack of sun- stroke.
 A. M. Smith, aged 70, was found dead in a field at Guilford last Thursday His death was due to heart disease,
 A man was found dead with his throat cut by razor at Plsinfield Village last week Tuesday. It was a suicide.
 The different business corporations in and around Hartford have, as required by law, published their dividends. The sum of dividends disbursed amounts to the grand total of $1,353, ,479.37. An average we believe of nearly 6 per cent per year. Only those companies that declare dividend and the average divi- dend paid on all the capital invested in Hartford would be somewhat less.
