HOT ONE FROM FORAKER.
A Side Slap at Mark Hanna and the AID
ministion.

A Side slap at Mark Hanna and the Ad-
ministion.
Washington, January 1.-THE SEN
ate listened further to-day to discussion
of the policy of expansion by Mr.. Tur-
ner Pop. Wash.).
At the conclusion of Mr.. Turner's
argument, Mr.. Foraker took some
sharp exceptions to statements made
in the speech, especially those referring
to him personally. He explained at
length the nature of his statement, de-
claring among other things that he
had spoken only for himself and had
had no intention or desire to pose as
the representative of the administra-
ton, so far as his utterances were con-
cerned. Referring to the interested
comment which had been aroused in
Great Britain by his statements, he
said:
Il was not speaking for the administra-
ton, and the chill that went up and down
the backs of our friends in London was
due, perhaps, to a misrepresentation as to
which of the Ohio Senators was speak
ing"
The Nicaragua canal bill was under

The House to-day practically decided the

vote,

WOMAN'S SENTIMENTS.
They Are Little Understood by Men. But They Cause Her Untold
Happiness or Misery.

The girl of to-day is the mother of
future generations. Humanity is abso-
lutely dependent for it's continuance
and preservation on the knowledge and
stamina and health of women. Wo-
mans lot and her relations to the
world are such as to deserve a great
deal more attention and consideration
from science than she has yet re-
ceived.
The American race Of women in par
tlcular has questions to settle that are
much more important than the extern
sion OF the suffrage to women or the en-
aetment of a national divorce law.
Why is it that there are SO many
feeble and sickly women all over the
land? Why is it that not an average
OF over one child is born to American
women? Why is it that hundreds of
thousands of American men will not
marry at all?
Have you ever thought of these
things?
1t is because disease is striking at
the very root of the American race. 1t
is because most diseases can trace
their cause to n source; viz, troubles
OF the kidneys and adjacent organs.
h kidneys are the great organs of
the body, but this is little realized or
understood. A healthy, happy woman

Those Interested in the Paul Jones
Have Abont Abandoned Hope.

MOBILE, Alabama, January 19.-Messrs.
Taggart and Jones have practically aban-
doned the hope of ever seeing the party
on board the yacht Pau Jones alive. The
finding of a telephone by a trapper near
the mouth of the Mississippi and the iden-
tification of it from a description as a
part of the fittings of the yacht and the
finding of two unk washed ashore, con-
taing clothing belonging to Miss Florence
Taggart, has convinced them that the
yacht met with disaster. 1t is barely pos
sible that the party ave survived and are
in the Louisiana marshes, near Bird Isl
and, and the engineers steamer Maud,
with Taggart and Jones on board, started
to the marshes tonight at s o'clock.
The water, inlets and sounds all along
the coast of Horn, Ship, Petit Bots and
Chandelier islands were thoroughly eX-
plored to-day and nothing whatever
ound. The yacht had not at any time
touched at Chandaleur island. The opin-
ion of all is that the disaster happened
not many hours after the yacht left the
mouth of the Mississippi.

Large whiskey is absolutely pure. To

The decision of the Supreme Court
in the case of w. E. Powell and others

down yesterday, is of Importance to the
various religious denominations in the
State. The petitioners had applied for
a writ of mandamus to compel the Sec

a full hearing of the case, which had
been submitted at the September term,
the court now hold that section forty
seven, of article six, of the State con

poratiOn of churches and religious de-
nominations, but that missionary soci-
cites, church extension boards and 9TH

follows that no church or denomina-
ton, no board of church trustees, COM
mittee or mission board can secure a
legal status under the present consti-
tuition, so as to enable them to make
contracts, sue OF be sued, or to take and
hold requests. Surely this would seem
to be a hardship when like corpora

THAT BEER PARTY.

The Intelligencer made a pitiful ex-
hibition of itself, yesterday, over a
small item in the Register, referring
to a Republican beer party of recent
date, at the Peninsula cemetery, and
talked wildly Of libel suits, and dared
the Register to come on.
1t was a strange freak on the part
of the Intelligencer.
For its information we will say the
beer electioning party took place last
Monday night, and WAS ARRANGED
FOR THE PENINSULA CEMETERY.
Invitations were issued to many
people to come there, and the beer was
ordered and delivered.
A lady, unnecessary to name, OBJ
jected, and the beer was removed, at
the last moment, to the basement room
of a house on Baker street. near the
creek bridge, and was there drunk.
A Republican was asked yesterday:
Did you see the Intelligencer this
morning."
Yes"
Were you invited to drink beer, last
Monday"
Yes"
Where were you to go?"
ITO the Peninsula cemetery"
Did you go there?"
NO"
Why"
"A lady objected, and we went to
another place"
Where was that?"
Between the Peninsula bridge and
McColloch street-in a basement
room"
Did you drink the beer Thereof
awe did"
Who bought it?"
The Republicans"

One of the most pleasant occasions
occurring recently in the social realm
was the dinner given yesterday after
DON by Mr.. F. c. Meyers to about two
dozen of his intimate personal friends,
at the Hotel Windsor. The menu was
served in the private dining room on
the second floor, and was of the best
productions of that celebrated caterer,
Mr.. E. B. Carney. Mr.. Meyers graced
the head of the table, and those in
vited to discuss the gastronomic mat
ters upon the programme were Messrs.

and w. C. Beans.
During the progress of the dinner
Mr.. Meyers was presented with a very
handsome travelling bag, as a slight APP
probation of the estimation in which
he is held by his friends, and the fol-
lowing verses, composed and read by
the poet of the occasion, were literally
applauded:-
Once more we have assembled here.
For our %annuel spread, with F. c. My-Ear.
Our wholesouled German Friend so dear,
Likewise a GERMAN PIONEER.
This anne thing he has done before,
And we hope that he will do it more.
That he may live yet many lays
And enjoy himself in various ways.
Of those southern trips he loves so well,
We trust he yet will often tell.
And from the WIDOWS he has met,
We hope that he will land one yet.
If on our placid waters he rides,
Or across the continent he glides,
May peace. content, g& health and
Attend him always with fullest measure.
Before we leave. 'twould be but right.
To thank our friend with all our might.
Let yourselves be heard, both loud and
strong,
It's a good thing we've got, Lets push
it along"
