At noon yesterday the family and imme-

meal ate oyster fritters made with flour
from a barrel which was in the house at
the time of Kah's death. and which had
not been used since. Before they left the
table Mary Kiah, the widow. was taken
sick, and in short time the rest of the
family also became i'll. DR.. Guy Steel was
summoned and found that all had been in
tenscly nauseated, had vomited freely and
had burning pains in the aesophagus and
stomach All attributed their sickness to
the oyster fritters. DR.. John Mace was
called in consultation. and the physicians
promptly administered an antidote with
the result that most Of the family reCOv-
cred rapidly and are supposed TO be out of
danger.
DIR. Steele himself tasted piece of the
oyster fritters and found that the food
left a burning, astringent taste in his
mouth. In half an hour he felt violent
nausea and was seized with an attack of
vomiting. Later, while on his way to pay

OPPOSES EXPANSION,
senator McLnurin Addresses the
senate on the Vest Resolution.

Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina,
yesterday made a speech in the Senate
against expansion. The senator took for
his text the Vest resolution against colo
nization, and the principal novelty in his
argument on that side of the question was
in his drawing into the controversy the
Southern race question.
He thought it was strange that North
ern senators who had for thirty years ad-
vocated universal suffrage should nov
favor what he termed Imperialism. In his
mind there was glaring inconsistency in
these positions. He said that If they were
sincere in their views as to the Philip
pines they should propose an amendment
to the Constitution which will put the in
ferior races in this country and the inhabl-
tants OF the Philippines upon an equality
as to their civil and political rights. and
thus forever settle the veXed race and suf-
frage questions in this country, as wei! as
III outlying territories.
Universal suffrage in the South he d.
clared, had proved to be monumental
failure, and the time had come for the
correction of this stupenduous govern
mental error.
Universal suffrage in the South has
long since degenerated into race uuas-
such led to the practical elimination of the
negro from politcs-a policy that is today
wisely advocated by the great leaders of
the race, like Professor Miller and Pooker
Washington, and which in time. without
outside interference, under the guidance
OF the best thought of both races. viii lead
to just and mutually satisfactory sett e.
ment of the gravest problems that have
ever confronted any people in modern
times.
1t is indeed comforting to hear some of
those who in the past criticised us, now
that the ,uqestion is brought home, COM
pletely Justify our methods in providing
scheme OF colonial government.
The senator from Connecticut has most
, amply vindicated the South. perhaps unin-
tentionally. but We thank him the more
heartily for his complete announcement
of the divine right of the Caucasian 10
govern the inferior races"
Mr.. McLaurin then took up the const..
tionality of annexing the Philippines, and
recited the argument heretofore advanced
on that side of the question. He a'sC
| touched on the commercial side OF the
! case, and reached the same conclusions as
| his colleagues.
! His speech. which occupied about an
| hour was devoid of any startling fea-
| lures, and did not command the attention
: OF many senator's.

Women Should Know it.

Many women suffer untold agony and

been led to believe that womb trouble orl
female weakness of some sort is respon-
sibe for the many ills that beset woman
kind.

sensation. prOfuse or scanty supply of
urine with strong odOr. frequent desre
to pass it with scalding or burning sem
sation. sediment in it after standing in|
bottle or common glass for twenty-fOur
hours, are signs of kidney and bladder
trouble.
The above symptoms are often attri-
buted by the patient herself or by her
physician to female weakness or womb
trouble. Hence, so many fail to obtain
relief, because they are treating, not the
disease itself, but reflection of the
primary cause, which is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are
made miserable with kidney and bladder
trouble and both need the same remedy.
DR.. kilmer's SWamp-ROot is the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and
bladder specialist. and is easy to get at
any drug store for fifty cents or one
dollar.
