There is enough calico made in the United

Swallowed a Needle and Died.

A tailor in Chicago accidentally swallowed
Q needle and died as a result of the infiam-
nation set up by the small needle. Little
things have frequently great power, as is
seen in a few small doses of the famous Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which, however,
has an entirely different effect from the
needle in this notice. The Bitters make
nervous, weak and sickly persons strong and
well again. They are also good for dyspepsia
and constipation.

Mr.. Pettigrew Is. d. offered the
following resolutions:
Resolved, that the thanks OF
congress and the American people are
hereby rendered Commodore Winfield
Schley, Of the United States naval
force operating against the Spanish
forces in Cuban waters, for the highly
distinguished conduct in the conflict
with the enemy displayed by him in
the destruction Of the Spanish feet Off
the harbor OF Santiago, July 8, 1898
Section 2-That the thanks of congress
and the American people are hereby
extended through Commodore Schley
to the officers and men under his com
mand for the gallantry and skill ex-
hibited by them on that occasion. Sec
ton 3-That the president of the
United States be requested to cause
these resolutions to be communicated
to Commodore Schley and through him
to the officers and men under his com
mand."

/ Mr.. Pettigrew said that the impression
had been conveyed to IT, public thai
| not Commodore Schley, but another
man" had achieved a great naval vic
tory. "All accounts Of the battle" he
said, agree that Schley was in com
mand of the vessels of our fleet. He
pursued the last Of the spanish vessels
so miles personally and brought to al
end the most remarkable naval due
ever fought"
( Mr.. Stewart New thought Admiral
Sampson had been unfortunate in the
wording of his official announcement Of
victory in not giving in that dispatch
the credit due Commodore Schley. Mr.
Allen (Neb.) thought at least few
, days had ought to elapse before action
was taken upon the resolutions, and
4 they were referred to the naval com
mittee.
