Dear Sir: You, doubtless, have put
Filings into teeth that lasted years, and
naturally, take pride In the durability
of your work. We feel much the same
pride in the great durability Of F. W.

Mr.. +. Il. Dana Of Wiscssset, Maine,
has sold our paints for twenty two years,
and never has had . single complaint
Twelve years ago the Dana homestead
was painted with them, and to-day the
house Is in good condition, and does not
require new coat.
Mr.. Young, who Is the oldest mer-
chant In Wiscassef, used our paints on
his store fifteen years ago. The side to-
ward the harbor needs repainting now,
bot the other three sides Of the building
are still In . fair condition.
Our concern has been In the paint
manufacturing business for la years.
That long experience Il at the bottom Of
the great durability Of our product.

FOUR WAR MEASURES.
Tho Senate Passes Important Bills In
Aid of Army and Navy.

Washington, May ll.-Four war meas
ures have been passed by the senate.
One of them provided for carrying on
the additional work in the adjutant gem
erals office. The second authorized the
enlistment OF a volunteer signal corps,
two thirds of the members of which
must he expert electricians or tele-
graphers. The third was the so called
immune hill'' passed by the house. The
fourth was measure suspending eX-
listing law SO that additional hospital
stewards can be appointed.
The postoffice appropriation bill, car
rying appropriations which aggregate
more than $99,000,00O, was passed after
a debate which has lasted for several
days. A determined effort was made
by Mr.. Butler PopO of North Carolina
to cut off the sum appropriated for the
fast mall service between New York
and washington to Atlanta and New
Orleans, and to provide for two commit
tees TO investigate postal affairs, but II
was unsuccessful, all amendments ex-
cept those offered by the committee on
appropriations being voted down.
After an extended and interesting de-
bate the resolution submitting to the
legislatures of the various states an
amendment to the constitution of the
United States changing the date of the
beginning of the terms of the president
vice president and members of congress
from the 4th of March to the 4th of May
was adopted. Following is text of the
proposed amendment:
1.-THE term of office of the president
and vice president and of the Fifty.
sixth congress shall continue until the
4th day of May in the year 1901 at noon
and the 4th day of May at noon shall
| thereafter be substituted for the 4th day
| of March as the commencement and ter,
| mlnation of the official term of the pres
ident, vice president, senators and rep
resentatives in congress"
The house was in session only so min
utes, the early adjournment being dut
to no urgent measures of importanc,
| being before the house and to genera
indisposition to take up minor matters.
