William a. Brady, Jehries manager,
and Thomas ORourke, the adviser Of tho
sailor-pugilist, will have a meeting Satur-
day, and there is little doubt that the man
ayers will come to an understanding with
dtions named by effries IN his original
challenge and to which ORourke objected
on behalf of the sailor will likely be modl-
fed. Brady said that Jeilries will waive
the side bet OF $40, 900, owing to the fact
that a side wager is considered Illegal

ADDICKS MEN OUTWITTFD.
Democrats Prevent the Election of Addicks
as Senator by Leaving the Chamber.

That was the most exciting day of the
session, when the time came Thursday
for voting for United States Senator
by both houses of the Legislature sit
ting in joint session. Early in the
day there were signs of something SEN
sational coming, and the result might
have been different had the Union Re-
publicans made a secret of scheme to
elect Addicks, instead of buzzing
around among the doubtful Republi-
cans and watching the clock with an
air of eager expectancy.
The real reason of their restlessness
was that they had men enough, with
three doubtful voters whom they still
count among their forces, to land Ad-
dicks right side up. But their activity
put the Democrats 'on." At ten
minutes to 12 O'Clock there were thirty
five members present for the Joint ses
sion. Of course, seventeen of these
would have elected There were four
teen of the faithful Addicksites pres
ent, and the three votes conceded to
him on a pinch would have been all
that was necessary to give him ma
Jority. The Democrats, headed by
General DOnahoe, walked out of the
House chamber to the State House
parlor, where they were joined few
minutes later by the Democratic Sena-
tors, who have bolted from the Sen
ate's move to go into joint ballot.
This ended the efforts of the Addicks-
ties. The vote taken was Addicks IA.

Regardless of Age.

The kidneys are responsible for
more sickness, suffering, and deaths
than any other organs of the body.
A majority of the ills affecting peo-
pie to-day is traceable to kidney trou-
BILE. 1t pervades all classes of society,
IN all climates, regardless of age, sex
or condition.
The symptoms of kidney trouble are
unmistakable, such as rheumatism,
neuralgia, sleeplessness, pain or dull
ache i'll the back, desire to urinate
often day or night, prOfuse or scanty
supply.
Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in
urine are signs of clogged kidneys,
causing poisoned and germ-filied
blood. Sometimes the heart acts
badly, and the tube casts (wasting of
the kidneys) are found in the urine,
which if neglected will result IN
bright's Disease, the most dangerous
form of kidney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions
are promptly removed under the in
t1uence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root
1t has world wide reputation for its
wonderful cures of the most distress
ing cases.
No one need be long without it as it
is so easy to get at any drug store at
fifty cents or one dollar. You can have

cOvery, Swamp-Root, and book tell

PROPOSED LIQUOR LAW.
Under it SalOOn-keepers Could Not Furnish
Ram to Minors or FiabituaI
DruDkards.

A bill that will create stir among
saloon keepers in this State made its
appearances in the House Thursday.
1t was introduced by Representative
Robertson, and is so sweeping that
under its provisions no saloon or tav-
ern-keeper will be permitted to even
give away liquor to any intoxicated
person or habitual drunkard.
The bill was drawn at the instance
of Deputy Attorney General Peter L.
Cooper, Jr., and its intent is to cover
defects, such as was disclosed in the
recent trial of Samusl Peo in Whining
ton, in the existing liquor laws.
The amendment provides that it
shall be unlawful for any inn or tavern
proprietor ''to sell, give away, deliver.
or furnish liquor at any time to a
minor, insane habitual drunkard. to
any person at the time intoxicated, or
to permit any minor, insane, habitual
drunkard, or any person at the time
intoxicated to drink intoxicating lio
uors upon his premises. "

Late Literary News.

The recent success of the Brisish
arms over the Mahdists in the Soudan
demonstrates that even fanaticism
cannot stand against drill and disci-
pline. But in earlier days it is easy to
understand why the Arabs swept all
before them. An ingenious tenet of
Mohammed taught his followers that
the hour and minute and second of
death were fully ordained. Therefore
the believing soldiers self-regardless
fighting was for a time invincible.
Confucius, Zoroaster, Buddha, Brahma,
MOhammed-each of these great relig-
ious thinkers now has his followers
beneath the far-fung flag of the United
States. 1t is consequently the highest
political wisdom to understand what
each of our new wards believes. The
February number of the Cosmopolitan
will contain the first Chapter of ''The
founding of an empire" by JOHN BRIs-
BEN WALKER. The first part gives a
bird's-eye view of Mohammed and
his religion.

Ages of Senator's.

The death of Senator Morrill, at 80
years of age leads the New York Sun
to say that although Senators Allison
and Jones will be the Fathers of the
Senate, after Mr.. Morrill,, the oldest
senator, in point of age, is Mr.. Pettus,
Alabama, who will be 78 years old on
July 6 next There are other old men
in the Senate, including Mr.. Hawley.
of Connecticut, who is in his seventy
third year, and has been elected
for another term; Mr.. Pettus's COL
league, Mr.. Morgan, who will be rs,
next June; Mr.. Hawley's colleague.
Mr.. Pratt, who is 70; Mr.. Stewart of
Nevada, who is the same age, and Mr..
Hoar, who will be 70, next August.
Mr.. Turpie, of Indiana, who first en-
tered the Senate in 1868, four wears
before Mr.. Morrill,, and who filled out
the unexpired term of Jessie D. Bright.
and then reappeared as senator in 1887.
after his colleagues had all forgotten
him, must be very old man, but he
does not state his age in Congress
sional Directory biography. Neither
does Mr.. Bate, of Tennessee, who is by
no means youth, as he served with
distinction in the Mexican war.
The youngest senator is the North
Carolina Populist, Mr.. Butler, who
will not be SO until May 90 next, al
though he has already been in the Sen
ate for nearly four years. Senator
Penrose, of Pennsylvania, ranks next
to Butler in point of youth, having eel
ebrated his thirty-ninth birthday, last
month. Mr.. McLaurin, of Mississippi,
is only six months older than Penrose.
Mr.. Cannon, of Utah, will be 40 next
month, and Mr.. Kenney, of Delaware,
is just past 42.

The Peninsular Press.

What is probably the last meeting of
the Peninsular Press Association was
held IN Dover, Del, last Thursday.
The Association has been in existence
quarter of a century, and was COM
posed OF the newspaper editors and
publishers of Delaware and the East
ern Shore of Maryland. At the Dover
meeting about twenty Delaware and
one Maryland editor were present. A
motion was made to formally dissolve
the Association, but it was not pressed
and president and other offers were
elected. After the adjournment, how
ever, the Delawareans proceeded to form
a State Association. As Maryland has
two State Associations, the Democratic
and the Republican, and Delaware
one, the Peninsula Association will
probably lapse, as there would seem to
be no room nor use for it.
The next meeting of the National
Editorial Association will be held at
Portland, Oregon, in June.

Standing in the pillory and being
whipped on the bare back with the
temperature at zero, strikes us as the
quintessence of inhumanity. No
fault can attach to the sheriff, who is
only creature and the servant of the
law. The whipping post, the lashes
and the pillory are all right. They
SAVIOR of cruelty it is true, but they
very fittingly meet the cases of bur-
glary, forgery, attempted murder and
rape. But the conditions under which
the recent punishments were inflicted
at New Castle were of such a severe
character as to call for some change in
the law, that will meet phenomenal
conditions of weather and remove the
appearance or cruel brutality.

Congressman-elect B. H. Roberts.
who has three Mormon wives may con-
stitute a bar to his taking the seat to
which he was elected, comes out in
defiant interview and says he will be
on hand when the time comes to de-
fend himself against his plurality of
wives. He says Polygamy is not
adultery, and gives as his criterion the
Bible, citing the lives of Abraham,
Jacob and the prophets, who practiced
it. That even the Church cannot take
away from man the wives it has al
ready given him. He does not be-
lieve in being compelled to cast off his
three wives and his numerous children.
We think Roberts will have a harc
road to hoe before he secures his seat
in the House.
