TILLMAN WAS HEARD.
Forces the Chair to Recognize Him
at the Point of His Voice.

Washington, Feb. 16.-The executive
session of the senate yesterday was en-
livened by a vigorous effort of Senator
Tfllman Is. C.) to secure recognition to
make a point against the contention that
the Hawaiian islands were of strategic
importance to the United States. Senator
Gallinger occupied the chair and other
senators were seeking to make reports
upon nominations, several coming in after
Mr.. T1llman had risen His voice was
drowned by the others and it began to
look as if the senate might adjourn with
out his being heard. Il have stood here
on my feet while eight or ten men have
been recognized he said, in stentorian
tones, "and 1 want to know if am to
be heard"
IF the senator would speak a little
louder said Senator Hoar, facetiously.
"he might be-
This remark did not apparently fall
agreeably upon Mr.. Tillman's ears. and he
replied by appealing for protection and
fair treatment
Il have been member of this body for
three years. he said, land I have always
tried to deport myself as gentleman, and
think I am entitled to fair treatment"
At this point Senator Gallinger, who oe-
cupied the chair, raped for order. He
then explained that the failure to recog-
nize Mr.. Tillman was due entirely to an
inadvertance and to the fact that his at
tention had been directed in another way.
To this Mr.. Tillman replied that this ex~
PLANTATION was entirely satisfactory, and
he then proceeded to make his point,
which was that the strategic Importance
Of the Hawaiian islands was overrated.
He argued that in case of war between
Japan and the United States, Japan could
bring coal for her warships over in ten
ders and thus render herself entirely in
dependent of the islands.

Shadow of Herself
Stomach Was Too Weak

A Complete Cure Effected by
Hoods SarsapariIIa
Now Enjoying the Best Of Health,
With Digestion Perfect.


Ny mother was subject to sick head
aches and indigestion for over a year.
She was unable to stand for any length
OF time, and was obliged to stay in a dark
room as she could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was so weak she could not retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered so much
that she became but the shadow of her
self. One day happened to read tes-
timoniaI about Hoods SarsaparilIa. 1t
Sounded So Truthful
I persuaded her to try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla and
several boxes of Hoods Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best
of health. Her digestion is good and she
can eat almost anything she wishes. She
Is 42 years old and says she feels as we'll
