A hearing was given by the judiciary
noon, on an act In amendment OF chapter

There was great deal of interest mani

Potter OF Providence was present with
his assistants.
Alderman Lowe, member OF the al
dermanio committee on milk, stated that
the act was intended to bring about the
licensing OF milkmeD, fee to be paid for
the licenses issued. This would bring In
q revenue Of between $i400 TO 81 500 to the
city, and would defray Iart of the expense
of the milk inspectors office. Alderman
Lowe said that the act also provided for
the rsy ocation of the licen o OF any milk
man repeatedly convicted of violations OF
the law on a0ulterated milk.
MIX Inspector Potter said that the pres
ent standard was IL per cent solids and
2. 8 per cent fat. III a standard lower
than the standard is set IL leaves the
door open for ndulteration of richer milk
down TO the standard established. Cows
vary greatly, some having Eeen known 10

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use Of making a better ar
ticle than your competitor if you can not
get a better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
50 that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much great
er in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain TO be
tried and the public Will very quickly pass
judgment on them and use only the
better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berIain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended up
on. They may occasionally take up with

snect to the present situation shall
state the reasons which have led me
to this conclusions:
| Everybody admits Mr.. Quarles' fitness for
the senatorship, his high character aliu uhllh-
peachable integrity.
2 He possesses experience as Legislator.
8 He is known all over the state as a stall
wart and loyal Republican, VINO mas never a7,t5
failed to respond to the call OF party duty
But while he thus actively participated III
every political campaign IN the past IWenIy
five years he never allied himself with any
faction and never sought to advance has own
noliticaI ambition or that of friends to the
detriment of the harmony and respect OF Ile
party He is in full accord with the Iunua-
mental principles OF hepuollcahlSnn-
A. AS successful and reputabl lawyer MI.
Quarles possesses practical business quaInca-
tions.
hear it stated once in q while that
we ought to elect a business man to
the senate, meaning, | suppose, a
merchant or a manufacturer. This
suggestion is not, IN my opinion,
based on sound reason, because good
busin -ss men are found In every call
ing. Good business qualifications are
not confined to those who sell mer-
chandise or manufacture.
Good business men are found
among the farmers, the doctors, the
editors, the lawyers, In fact, IN every
vocation, and poor business men are
often found among merchants and
manufacturers.
A successful lawyer is probably
more thoroughly familiar with ousl-
ness affairs and methods than per
sons in any other calling. His advice
is sought while enterprises are under
contemplation as we'll as after com
plications haye arisen and he is thus
In an exceptional position to acquire
practical business knowledge OF the
highest order. To such an extent
have these methods of using lawyer
prevailed that wall has gone up
from the lovers OF the Golden time"
that law has ceased to be profession
and become business.
[ allude to this subject, not because
I believe lawyer only Is competent
to be senator, but because MI.
Quarles happens to be one, and be-
canse of an apparent attempt to
create prejudice against nm on this
score.
lam sure Mr. Quarles' election Will
leave no sore spots in the rank and
file Of the party; on the contrary, 1t
will assure harmony aud peace, for
time at least.
SO far as my own political status
or interests are concerned, 1t is en-
tirely immaterial whom the legls!a-
ture may elect. | shall vote Tor Mr..
Quarles for the reasons | have given.

Dr. Pierce has probably treated and cured
more cases of female weakness, pains in

President Mckinley has received
many congratulations on his selec-
ton Of Hon. Ethan Allen Hitchcock,
of Missouri, at present ambassador
to Russia. to be secretary of the
interior. The senate unanimously
confirmed the nomination. although
it was received only a few minutes
before the adjournment for the
Christmas recess. Secretary Hitch
cock is a successful business man,
just what man must be to salts
factorily administer the affairs of

WEDNESDAY, DEC. %, 1898.
]. Fl. Harris on the Senatorship.

Senator j H. Harris, OF the Twenty
third senatorial district, is taking
very prominent part in the sena
torial election. In q letter, very con-
spicuously printed in Saturdays SEN
tlnel. the senator takes very strong
grounds in his advocacy of the cleo
ton of Joseph V. Quarles. There is
no question but that the senator's
deductions are. eminently sound and
logical, AS every word said in advo-
scacy Of Mr.. Quarles is well substan-
tiated by the life and Iabors of the
honorable gentleman, and while we
are satisfied there are other gentle
men IN the state capable Of making
good senator's, we are equally well
satisfied there is none better. But
Mr.. Quarles has in an exceptional
manner endeared himself to the
masses Of the people. During the
last campaign be struck a popular
chord III his admonition to those
who count their wealth by the million
lesz they overstep the bounds Of pro
priety and thus beget the enmity OF
the masses, thereby bringing down
upon themselves the wrath, and retri-
button of those who already too
lkeenly feel the exactions Of the giant
combination OF the powerful trust
organizations Of the country. Mr..
Quar.es is in close sympathy with
ex-President Harrison on this mo-
mentous question, and his election
TO the senate OF the United States
would be a further guarantee that
the Republican party is the party OF
6he people. Following is the letter of
Senator Harris:
In my section of the state the Re-
pubIicans are taking an unusual in
terest In the pending contest for the
United States senatorship, and this
IS doubtless the case all over the
state. They are, too, very sensitive
on the subject.
They are getting very tired of the
wrangles and factional contentious
which for number Of years past
have impaired the efficiency of She
party In this state and menaced its
ascendency.
Important problems confront the
country at the present time and the
Republican party is looked to for
their solution. The territorial acquisi-
tons which have come to us in con-
sequence of the late war with Spain,
and the establishment of a sound and
enduring monetary system, involve
questions calling for the highest order
of craftsmanship. In this emergency
the duty of Republicans OF this state
is plain. In response to the over
whelming vote Of confidence the peo-
pie gave the party at the last two
elections, they must send a man to
the United States senate whose cleo
ton the mass of the people will readi-
ly accept as evidence of good faith.
The senatorship is prize coveted by
the best men. 1t is not strange, there
fore, that a number of candidates
should present themselves at this
time. So far as [ know they are all
good Republicans and worthy men.
1t will devolve upon the Republicans
of the legislature to determine which
one Of the avowed candidates comes
nearest meeting the demands of the
party and the people at the present
time.
Without attempting to disparage
the claims of the other candidates !
am clear in my own mind that the
logic of the situation points to Mr..
aluarles.
Following these suggestions IN re-

Twenty-third Senatorial Dlstrl

IT has been learned that President
Mckinley, before he left on his
Southern trip, asked Senator Spooner,
Of Wisconsin, TO become Mr.. Bliss
successor. The senator promptly
declined, for he is perfectly satisfied
to remain in the senate. His term
does not expire until 1908,
and he is one of the leaders on the
Republican side of the chamber and
a man OF unusual ability. He is
warm political and personal friend
of the president, but is opposed to
the Administrations policy OF exran-
sion. Senator Spooner was opposed
to the annexation of Hawaii and he
is opposed to taking the Philippines,
he will probably vote with
the other Republicans for the rstifi-
cation ofthe peace treaty.-New York

Caught In His Own Trap.

1t is always pleasant to read of in
stances in which would be practical
jokers have had chance to sample their
own wares In Life In California, !"
Alfred Robinson tells of Senior Lugo
who often amused the travellers by his
stories and eocentricities, and one even
ing attempted practical joke, with the
following result:
He had loaded paper cigar with
gunpowder and placed it among his
cigarros. During his visit with me he
repeatedly asked me to smoke, but
fortunately missed the cigar he had pre-
pared, until finally, from the lateness
of the hour, he withdrew.
In the course Of the night he awoke,
and feeling desire to smoke selected
from his bundle, quite forgetful of the
evenings amusement, the very cigar he
had prepared for me. Having lighted
it, he returned to bed.
The cigar was about half consumed
and he more than half asleep when a
sudden explosion carried away the bet
ter part of his mustache, and SO thor
oughly frightened his poor wife that
venture to say the event will never be
forgotten.

The Savage and the Birdcage.

A gentleman who went out with
Stanley to Africa took with him mum
Der of birdcages in which he hoped TO
bring back some specimens Of the rarer
birds of the interior Owing to the
death of his carriers he was obliged to
throw away the birdcages with num-
Der of other articles. These were seized
by the natives in great glee, though
they did not know what to do with
them, but they eventually decided that
the small circular cages were kind of
headgear, and, knocking off the bottom,
the chiefs strutted about in them with
evident pride. One chief thinking him
self more wise than the others and hav-
ing seen the white men eat at table out
of dishes, thought theywere receptacles
for food and took his meals from one,
tremendously opening and shutting the
door between each molthful.

The Screw of Archimedes.

Archimedes of Syracuse, when he was
in Egypt, invented a machine for pump
ing bilge water out of the holds of ships.
This instrument was also used in the
delta for purposes of irrigation. Diodo-
rus Siculus twice refers to it H., "a, Q;
", 81, -. A curious model of such an
instrument, probably Of the late Ptole-
maic period, has been found in lower
Egypt. 1t consists of terra Gotta cyl
inder with a screw inside it 10 inches
long and 4 y inches in diameter. Near
the center Of the outside is band with
crosspieces. These may represent foot.
holds and suggest that the machine
was worked after the manner of the
treadmill. Such screws were probably
made Of wood. No other example Of
this screw seems to have come to light.
