The fronts of six shops were de-

police repeatedly charged the rioters,
but were stubbOrnly resisted and were
pOwerless to restore order until the
troops arrived.
Several policemen were severely NAL
treated. Many arrests for the theft
have been made. The Jewish authOri-
ties recommend their cO-religiOnists to
remain indoors. Both the men killed
in the riot were Christians and their
companions have sworn to avenge
them. 1t is feared there will be further
riots.

CONGRESSIONAL.
Teller Resolution Will Be Disposed of
in the Senate This Week.
Not Much Attention Will Be Given to Ha-
waii-PrOgramme in the House Little
of Interest Beyond the Limits of
the District of Columbia.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-The present
outlook is unfavorable to the senate's
giving much attention to the Hawaiian
treaty during this week. The agree
ment to vote on Thursday upon the
Teller resolution reaffirming the doc
trine that United States bonds are pay
able in silver at the option of the gov
ern ment will in all probability result
in the senate's giving the major por-
ton of it's time until that date to
this measure with the exception of
that necessary to the consideration of
appropriation bills. Senator Turpie
has given notice of a speech on the
Teller resolution for Monday and it is
expected that speeches for it will be
made by Senators Teller, Pettigrew,
White and others, and that there also
will be some addresses in opposition.
Senator Nelson has offered an amend
ment declaring for the maintenance
of the parity of the two metals, but the
silver men, considering this proposed
modification hostile to their purpose
will not accept it. They say they will
insist upon vote upon the resolution
as it stands

ADVICE TO MINISTERS.
Given by a Minister.
Preachers who practise it will
preach better.

No class of people is 50 liable to throat
trouble as the great class who make up the
Gospel ministry. The strain put upon the
vocal organs by constant exercise; the
sudden change from heated building to
the cool air when the vocal organs are in
a state of complete relaxation; the fact
that a minister feels impe11ed to use his
voice when actors and lecturers would
take the needed rest; these are among the
reasons why "Clergymen's sore throat "
is known as a special disease. The Rev.
E. M. Brawley, D. D., District Secretary of

THE truth is that neither Hickey

did not cry. She could not. He was
choking her. He choked her outright
Then he came over and told me about
it.
Merry was pretty badly broken up
that night. We left Poll in the bed
and sat by the stove all night. We
did not sleep. He thought good deal
of that woman-thpught too much of
her. But he had such temper"
Smith also told about the burying Of
