he betrayed by Spain.

Paris, Nov. 1.-The American peace
commissioners today presented TO the
Spanish commissioners a written ex-
preston of the purpose of the Un'ed
States to take the entire group of Phil
ippine islands, and to assume such pro-
portion of the Philippine debt as has
been spent for the benefit of the is
lands or their inhabitants, in public
works, improvements and permanent
betterments.
1t was also set forth that the United
States would not assume any part OF
the Philippine debt which has been in
CURED by Spain for the furtherance OF
military or naval operations to quell
instruction of the natives.
The session was adjourned until Fri
day, in order to give the Spaniards
time to prepare a reply. The session
today lasted little over an hour.
The president of the Spanish COM
mission, Senior Montero Rios, whose
health at one time was so precarious
as to threaten an indefinite adjourn
ment of the sessions Of the commits
sions, had improved to the extent of
enabling him to attend. He arrived
at the foreign Office in closed car
riage with his colleagues, shortly after
the Americans reached the meeting
place.

No SurprIse I'm Washington.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The news that
the American peace commissioners had
at the joint session today presented the
United States governments demand for
the entire Philippine group caused no
surprise.
1t was well known here that such
would be the outcome Of the day and
that the s40,000,000 debt would not be
guaranteed.
Such portion only of the debt as was
incurred for the benefit of the islands
will be carried by this country. This
has been long settled, though as a feel
er a story that the entire $4O,OOO,OOO
would be assumed was sent out. AS
anticipated, it brought forth violent
protests from all parts Of the country
Spain must now show how much Of
the s4O,000,O00 she spent in improving
the islands.

ODDITIES OF POISONING.
Much OF Earthly Happiness Depends
Upon What We Eat.

The constitutional differences and
peculiarities which exist among indi-
vduals should always be carefully
watched and considered. One person
can handle poison ivy with impunity
while another is poisoned II only In
the vicinity Of the vine and without
contact. Some members of family
residing in a malarial district Will
suffer regularly with chills and fever,
while other members will not be at
all affected.
Food that is actually poisonous to
some persons will not act so on others.
One person may eat all kinds OF green
fruit and vegetables with impunity,
while another person could do so only
at the risk of life. Certain kinds or
fish are actually poisonous to some
people and perfectly wholesome to
others.
1t is this peculiar condition OF the
system which constitutes the danger
point in the individual case ana
should be prudently observed by each
one for himself. Intestinal derange-
ments frequently arise from and are
aggravated by certain kinds OF food.
Thus person affected with kidney or
liver trouble should not eat very white
bread, since the extreme whiteness is
often produced by the use of alum
with an inferior article of -four, and as
alum is known to be poisonous in it's
effects on a sound constitution, this
is why alum baking powder is never
used by people Of judgment and dis
cretion.
More Of earthly happiness depends
upon what We eat than many people
realize and it is for this reason that
the different states are one by one
passing pure-food laws.

The Cabinet Resigns ana MODS ALMOST
Create a Second Reign OF Terror.
The assembling Of the French cham
Der of deputies, and the renewal of the
Dreyfus agitation as n consequence,
was the occasion OF very serious riot
ing in Paris. The anti-Semite feeling
was shown in violent attacks upon
Jews in the streets, and mobs OF re-
publicans and royalists had several
pitched battles in which scores were
badly injured. The police arrested
over 200 rioters.
At the opening session of the cham
Der of deputies M. Derouledo made a
violent attack upon the minister Of
war, Gen. Chanoine, who, after vigor-
ously defending his doings, rendered
his resignation and quilted the tribu-
nal. M. de Mahy offered resolution
calling on the government to end the
campaign OF insult against the army"
Then followed indescribable scenes of
tumult in which there were several
personal encounters. The premier, M.
Brisson. refused to accept the resolu-
ton. A vote of confidence in the gov
eminent was rejected, 2s6 to 254. The
Brisson ministry then resigned.

MANY uuu
OF Knowledge.
It's good old saying, and true one
too, know all men by their works.
The public have been imposed upon so
many times by INSCRIPTIONS claims
made for selfish means of profit, they
look for something more substantial;
they ask for deeds. The little con-
queror has earned the reputation made
in Michigan and no imposter can steal
it. From north to south, from east to
west, in every city. town and hamlet
in the state, people stand ready to tes-
tify to merit. Gratitude for comfort
brought to thousands of homes brings
emphatic rejoicings and words of praise
the like of which has not been equalled
in modern times. Is il a wonder the
name DoAN is a familiar one in every
household? Is it surprising the public
appreciate Doans Kidney Pills and
will not be led astray by the ingenious
efforts of would-be competitors? A De
troit citizen tells here why the name of
Doan is dear to him: Mr. r. n. Elliott,
of 143 High street, Detroit says:
My knowledge OF Doau IS Kidney Pills dates
back to five years ago. | was then living in the
town where DR.. Doan was located was tor
tured with kidney troubles and infammatory
rheumatism. The doctor prescribed the pills
for me which have since become so justly IA
nous. Their use quickly eliminated the uric
acid from my system and with its departure
came the cure Of the rheumatism and the end OF
the kidney troubles. II took but few boxes to
accomplish this end and / feel that owe DIR.

Land more so-no one more closely con-
uected with more of the colonial events
aud circumstances which led to the
great "Re volutiou" and the union OF
thA thirteen provinces.
Long years, mayhaps centuries, be-
fore the sound Of the axe was heard in
the Potomac wilds or any plow share
had upturned the virgin furrows: 1t
was but a path or trail between the
tidewater shores and the lowlands, and
the Allegheny mountains, along which
only the rowing sons of the forest thread
ed their Way. When the Englishman
came he cleared and widened it and
made it "a way and high way" for
his modes of travel. For nearly hun
drtd years after the founding Of Alex,
andrie and Colchester it was the busi-
est thoroughfsre in Virginia. II was
the great stage coach and post route
betwe Richmond and Baltimore. In
1895 q second bridge was built over
the Occoquan two miles above Col
chester, and from this new road, the
present Telegraph road, was laid out to
Alexandris, which being shorter than
the old highway, diverted much Of its
travel, and the steamboat lines OF the
upper Potomac, the first of which was
established in 1915, diverted still more.
In 1904 the present town OF Occoquan
was incorporated. Thirty-one acres
belonging to Nathaniel Ellicott, propri-
etor of the flour mills, James Campbell
and Luke Wheeler, was laid off into
lots with convenient streets, aud
James Keith, Thomas T. Page aud
James Golfer were appointed first trus-
tees of the new town. The route OF
the old highway north of Colchester
was through Lorton Valley, by Lewis
Chapel, Accotink, Wsshipgton's old
mill, head of Little Hunting creek at
Gum Spring, and thence by the head
of Great Hunting creek at Came
ron to Alexandria. From Alex
andria, beyond, it branched into
two roads which followed the old
Indian trails OF which one kept on near
ly identical in the course of the pres
eat Leesburg turnpike till passing
through Loudoun county it found q
passage gap in the Blue Ridge at the
Shenandoah. The other followed the
trail nearly Identical with the course o.
the present Little River turnpike, passed
through Aldie and Middleburg and
found gap in the same ridge. Goth
Of these roads since 1855 have beer
called Braddock's from the fact that
portion OF his army passed over each.
In another sketch OF this series ! have
made the old highway the subject O.
an extended description embracing is
many interesting historical associations
with map accompaniment and table o
distances.
The old COX road" must not be pass
ed by without notice. II also was
originally an Indian trail and was one
of the first tobacco rolling roads openec
to the Colchester warehouses. Il
course may now be traced across th'
telegraph road at Violets, by Stone
leigh, The aims house, Chanlllly ano
