"DEATH IN
THE POT"

death in the pot" That sentence
condenses the story of a tragedy. A
little family gathering. A fine dinner
cooked in the large copper kettle long
disused, and the entire family poisoned
by the accumulated verdigris The story
was told by the newspapers from one
end of the land to the other But it was
soon forgotten. The moral of it is, that
the purest of food, put into a foul vessel,
instead of ministering to life may be-
come a minister of death
If the stomach is diseased it is like the
poisonous kettle, which taints everything
that goes into it. The symptoms are
irregular appetite, undue fullness after
eating, distressed feeling in the stomach,
of huttering and sinking sensations, pal
pitation, dizziness, ringing in ears, sour or
bitter risings and constipation. Not all
these symptoms may be present at the
same time, but any of them shows dis
ease in the digestive or alimentary tract
The intimate relation of the stomach
to the blood, heart, liver and lungs
makes it a medical maxim in exploring
the causes of obscure diseases to start
with the stomach 1t is upon this
principle that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal discovery effects SO many and such
remarkable cures. It cleanses the stom-
ach and the system is cleansed. 1t in
creases the action of the blood making
glands, and the body is enriched by the
purified blood. 1t strengthens the di-
gestive or nutritive organs and these
strengthen the whole body by increasing
the quantity and quality of its nourish-
ment. 1t carries off the poisonous, efete
matter. In this way it re-establishes
health, banishing the bodily aches, which
are but symptoms of the stomach S
condition
All medicine dealers sell :" Golden
Medical Discovery" If they try to
substitute something else, it is because
something else pays better. Insist

was tho object OF much slander owing
TO the circumstance that her preux
chevalier, Lord Harrington (now duke
of Devonshire), was so much more
clever and we'll TO do than the late duke
Of Manchester. That the two ladies
were entirely innocent Of any real
wrongdoing is, however, shown by the
fact that both are frequent visitors OF

while one-namely, the duchess of
Devonshire-is the wife OF a cabinet

have their poodles, only they have the
tact and savoir faire to choose for the

That is why their names remain ig-

they are, of course, sufficiently well
known to society itself to render it
breach of good manners TO invite

The Dog Expected It.

A New York society dame, who is an
ardent upholder of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, owns
little fox terrier of which she is ex-
ceedingly fond. A man who had called
on her the other day was admiring the
dog and asked its mistress how she,
with all her humane theories, could
have allowed the cruel dog fancier to
cut off Snaps tail and ears to the fash
ionable degree of breyity. The dame
drew herself up and replied, with some
hauteur:
my dear sir, Snap expected it. Every
thoroughbred fox terrier expects to
have his tail and ears shortened" And
that humbled man went away saying to
himself: "That's the first time ever
thought Of 'noblesse oblige' as applying
to fox terriers."-N. Y. Tribune.

HUMAN PooDLEs OF EUROPE.
Platonic Admirers of Wives TOLERATE
ed by Husbands Who Do Not
Like to Be Bored.

Poodle is the name given on yondeF
side of the water to what is sometimes
here described as the 'tame cat" of an
establishment-that is, the only recog-
nized admirer of the lady of the house,
whose devotion to her is tolerated alike
by husband and by society because it is
known to be harmless and platonic. 1t
is a custom which has been imported
into England from the continent, where
the admirer in question is known as the
ecavaliere seryente," and to-day in
Great Britain, as everywhere on the
mainland of Europe, all women with
any pretension to fashion and to So
ciety have their human poodles.
Poodles Of this kind seldom, if ever,
figure in the divorce court. The women
regard them as all very well TO fetch
and carry for them, to act as their es-
cort, to entertain them, to give them
flowers, etc, but they would never
dream of compromising themselves for
the sake Of a poodle The poodle is
usually single man, with enough
money to enable him to live life Of
leisure His poodledom furnishes him
with a nice house, where he feels at
home. and where he can go without any
formal invitation, no matter whetherit
is in town or in the country. Single
men get dreadfully tired of mems So
ciety and find great relief in that Of
pretty brilliant, witty woman.
Besides, it is so very convenient for
the husband. The poodle saves him no
end of trouble, acts as his wife's escort
everywhere and serves as a sort of light
ming conductor for all i'll humors. In
fact, to-day poodledom has become such
a recognized social institution in Eu-
rope that it is only the evil-minded and
the people without any experience Of
the world who see any harm in it.
Nothing is more amusing than to
watch the attitude of the husband to-
ward the wife's poodle. His manner is
characterized by a sort of mingled con-
descension, patronage, just touch Of
contempt, and a dash of gratitude. His
pride would be hurt were he TO see tive
woman bearing his name without all

speak Mr. Morgan withdrew his motion
and Mir. Tillman proceeded 10 speak. He
denounced the bill as steal, perhaps re-
duCed to the minimum by the amendment
of Mr.. Berry. which had been adopted. He
was surprised that Senators said they were
compelled TO vote for the bill because they
wanted a canal, when the substitute pre-
vided a clean-cut measure.
Mr.. Chiffon replied that the great OBJ
lection TO the substitute was that moth
ing could be done under it until title and
sovereignty had been acquired to the nee
essary territory, and such title, he thought,
the government of Nicaragua would never
grant.
Mr.. Lindsay spoke in favor of the sub
stitute, after which q vote was taken and
the substitute lost, the vote being L. to 81.
Mr.. Allison then offered an amendment
authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury
to borrow On the credit of the United
States from time to time such sums as were
necessary to carry en- the work authorized
by the bill, and to issue per cent twenty
year bonds therefor.
II was o'clock when this amendment
was offered. and as it was evident discus
sicn would be provoked. Mr.. Davis moved

ever, secured the attention of the Chair
and made n motion for adjournment
which he refused to withdraw, and which
was carried, whereupon the Senate ad-

GARRISON IN CUBA.
General Wood Relieves That $4,000
Men Are Neccssury


a general statement regarding the condi-
lions prevailing at Santiago, Cuba. since
the war was made before the Senate mil
itary Committee yesterday by General
Wood. military commander OF the depart
ment of Santiago.
General Woods estimate as TO the mill
tary force necessary to maintain order in
Cuba for some time 10 come is $4,000 men.
Seven thousand five hundred men are now
in his province, and he thinks it would be
impracticable 10 reduce that number to
5000 al present. He believes the insur-
gent forces would rapidly take TO the pur-
suite Of peace. and with proper tact and
precaution, he believes the island could be
speedily brought into a peaceful and pros
porous condition.
In speaking of his mode of governing.
General Wood said he had shown absolute
trust in the Cubans and appointed them
to many positions. even having for his pri-
vate secretary a former member of Co
mez's staff. The administration accounts
of municipal matters had always been open
for inspection for everyone. and the rev
enues had been expended for local i'm
pTovement. This latter policy had caused
much satisfaction, as under the Spanish
rule only l6 per cent Of the revenues of
Santiago were retained there. the balance
being sent TO Havana, thence to Madrid.
Liberal contributions had been made out
Of this fund for road building, on which
:. 600 men were now employed, and for the
establishment of schools. which had also
been heartily encouraged. There was still
balance over all legitimate expenses OF
S230, 600, and General Wood said he meant
TO devote this sum toward cleaning out the
harbor, which was covered with nearly ten
feet of filth. After this improvement had
been made he declared that Santiago would
be as healthy as any American city.

FREE LIBRARY SITE.
Trustees Given Hearing Before the
Public Grounds Committees

The House Committee on Public Build
ings and Grounds yesterday heard delega-
tions interested in various plans for tho
city OF Washington.
First to be heard were the Free Library
trustees, who appeared in advocacy OF the
selection of the site in front Of Centre
Market for the library to be donated by
Andrew Carnegie. They thought that the
fact that the District already owned the
land, joined to the fact that so many street
car lines converged there. made il advisa-
BILE that it should be chosen. However they
We're not welded to it.
The chairman OF the committee appoint
ed Representatives Mercer. Hicks. and
Bankhead to confer with tine trustees and
see if some better site could not be found
Mount Vernon Square has now been pro-
posed as site
Horace Kenney appeared to urge the
committee TO buy the Regent Hotel for the
new Hall Of Records contemplated In pend
ing bills. The owners ask $500, 900 for the
property.
Several property owners on Capitol Hill
urged that the Government should select
the site offered by them for the new Su-
preme Court building. and in any case,
should hurry up and make selection
somewhere. so that they might renew
leases OF their property. some of which
were about to expire.
