Washington. May 2i--The provision Of the
War Revenue bill placing n tax Of one-quarie' VI
I per cent on the gross receipts Of corporations
was under discussion in the Senate throughout
to-day's session. incidentally The propose tax
on hank deposits was alluded to. The principal
speeches were delivered by Mr. Plat (kep.
Conn., Mr. FRYE Rep. Me) and Mr.. Lindsay
Dem KyD all OF whom vigorously attacked
the corporation tax. Mr. Platt's argument was
on the ground that the tax was unconsttutlona''
because It was not levied alike on all persons
engaged in n particular line OF business lie
maintained that occupation tax couid ne
levied. provided that the conditions were fair
and equitable. but the business of corporation
could not be taxed simply because II was con-
Quoted by a corporation. To be equitable the
tax must he laid on the business, whether 1t was
conducted by corporation. partnership

Mr.. Frye declared that the proposed fax on
corporations was a good scheme to encourage
enlistments in the Army II fully and firmly be-
Meve" he said that If this feature OF the bill be
enacted into law one million men will he out Of
work" He objected also to the tax on bank de-
posits because Of the burden placed on deposits
in savings banks.
Mr. Lindsay vigorously antagoniZed the pro
posed issue of legal-tcnder notes. declaring that
1t increased the existing menace TO the gold re-
of the Treasury. ana was the dearest
money ever devised Such an issue would be
blow to the Nations credit He also argued
against the proposed corporation tax maintain
ing that If enacted into law. ii would breed
batch of lawsuits, instead of providing ready
money with which TO conduct the war.
Tomorrow the Senate will resume the discus
sion OF the bill an hour earlier than usual. the
session beginning at III o'clock.

Admiral Dewey's fleet was stocked
with Vacuum Oils. There was no hitch in
the manpuvres OF the fleet at the battle
of Manila. Vacuum Oils can always be
depended upon. They lubricate most.
That is why they are the standards in
every corner OF the world where machin-
cry is used. They are just as good in .
mill or factory as aboard ship. They
cost least because they stop friction most.

lost woman's story.
Not strange because it happens every day,
not romantic or thrilling, bot just story of
misery and suffering such as only women
know.
For eighteen years, Sara E. Bowen, Of
Peru, Indiana, carried burden of pain.
Night and day, without respite, she suf-
fered the most dreadful experience that ever
fell to the lot Of woman.
That she did not die IS almost beyond
belief.
That she Is we'll today is miracle.
Mrs Bowen's trouble requires no descrip-
ton beyond the symptom, which every
woman will instantly recognize.
In describing them Mrs. Bowen says:
"For eighteen years suffered with
weakness peculiar to my sex.
~ was broken down piece Of human
ity; shadow Of woman.
"My brain was tortured until coufd re-
member bot little. cou1d not slesp or eat
and was reduced in weight TO mere skele-
ton. What little did eat could not be d.
gested in my weakened state, and caused
me untold misery.

tally unfit for even ordinary housework.

Suicide Said to be Epidemic.

DIR. La Rue, the famous French authority
on abnormal phenomena, and Professor
in Laval University. has. after exhaustive
comparison of facts in France Belgium
England and the United States, come to
the conclusion the inclination to suicide is
a mania, and is epidemic. There seems to
he strong Confederation of this in our
own country where one suicide-partcu-
larry among young females-folows an
other. No learned authority has as vet
discovered with exactitude whether ma
laria is epidemic or endemic, but 1t has
been matter of notoriety for nearly half
a century that the most reliable preventive
and curative of the various forms of ma
laria is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Re
stored patients have not only set the seal OF
their appreciation upon Ii in malarial cases
but commend 1t for rheumatism kidney
and liver trouble. nervousness, dyspepsia
and constipation II improves both appa-
tite and sleep and is a capital mitigant o.
infirmity in advancing years.

d!nDSALL AND PENDERGAST.
THEIR CONTEST WAS DECLAR-
ED TO BE A DRAW.
Twenty Game Rounds, in Which
Neither Man Gained a De-
cided Advantage.

The twenty-round boxing contest De
tween Wells Birdsall and Tom Pender-
CAST took place last night at Armory
Hall.
The hall was we'll filled and two pre-
liminary bouts were had before the
main event The first was between
Henley and McGraw, and was a good
exhibition, lasting three rounds. The
second was between Haggerty, Fender
CASTS trainer and Harry Jones, an
Eastern boxer, both lghtweights, and
was fine exhibition of science.
Then came the main event. Robert
McHale acted as referee. Brdsall
was seconded by Walter Henley, Ed
Johnson and Charles Johnson and Pen
dergast by. John Norton, Tom Norton
and Soldier Walker.
When the men stripped, it was seen
that Pendergast was a trifie the taller
and perhaps the heavier of the two.
Both were cautious when time was
called and Birdsall landed a light one
on the body, Pendergast returned the
compliment and after some sparring
they mixed up, exchanging several
blows; Birdsall had the best of the
round
FOR the f1rSt five rounds PendergaSt
did the leading. Birdsall played for
the body and got in some good blows,
on the neck also. Pendergast landed
several on the jaw and neck In the
second round Birdsall put in a right
and left on the neck and then missed
vicious left swing The third round
was tame, both men being cautious
and Pendergast waiting for an open
ing.
In the fourth round Pendergast land
