Gossip of the Appointments.
Mr.. Tawney OF Minnesota was laughed at
by many Of the members when it was
learned that he had not landed the chair
manship of the Insular Committee. which
he labored so hard 10 create 1t was Mr..
Tawney who offered the resolution author
izing the Speaker TO- appoint a committee
TO have charge of all legislation pertaining
to Porto Rico and the Philippines And it
was generally believed he would be made
chairman. Mr. Tawney is quoted as saying
that the reason he did not receive the chair
maEship was because he declined to give
up his position on the Ways and Means
Committee. He is. however, a member of
the Iusular Committee.
The advocates of silver have only five
members on the Banking and Currency
Committee. They are Cox of Tennessee
Rhea Of Kentucky, Lewis of Georgia. Tai
bert of South Carolina and Stallings of
Alabama The other two members of the
minority-Driggs of New York and ThayeI
of Massachusstts-are gold Democrats
But now that the Republicans have passed
the Currency bill it is not likely the Bank

any important measures during this Con-
gress, Notwithstanding the fact that some
fifteen or twenty bills on the subject OF
currency and banks have been introduced

CURIOUS CUCKOOS.

The cuckoo Is generally known only
as bird with a tverv monotonous note
a continuous cry of cuckoo, cuckoo"
over and over again. Among naturalists
however, the cuckoo Is known as a bird
that never builds a nest for itself, but
takes advantage of one already built by
some more industrious bird.
There IS a good deal of the cuckoo
about these advertisers who, instead of
making a success of their own, seek to
proht by the success which some one
else has made with much effort and
labor. It Is so with those limitations of
DR.. Pierce's methods, by which free
medical advice IS offered, although those
who make the offer are without qualified
medical ability or experience. And the
cry raised III some cases of woman,
woman, woman write to woman makes
the resemblance to the cuckoo even
stronger
There IS as far as known no qualified
woman physician connected with any
proprietary medicine establishment, and
none therefore competent to give medi-
cal advice. 1t is certain that there is no
one, man or woman, who can offer free
medical advice backed by such knowl-
edge and experience as is possessed by
DR.. R. Y. Pierce, chief consulting phy-
sician to the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo.
n. y. For over thirty years DR.. Pierce
has made a specially Of the treatment
of diseases peculiar to women. In that
time he has treated over half-a-million
women, ninety-eight per cent. of whom
have been perfectly cured. Every sick
woman is invited to consult DR.. Pierce
by letter absolutely without charge or
cost. Every letter is held as strictly pri-
vate and sacredly confidential, and all
answers are mailed securely sealed in
perfectly plain envelopes bearing no
printing whatever upon them
