FLAG SHOULD BE KEPT SACRED
Daughters of American Revolution
Ask Law to Prevent It's Use for
Unworthy Purposes.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25-After the rou-
tine business OF the morning session of con-
gress OF Daughters Of the American Revo-
luton had been disposed Of, the report OF
the committee on the desecration Of the flag
was read and discussed. The report asks
for law to prevent the use of the national
nag for advertising, to prevent placing upon
1t or attaching to 1t devices and inscriptions
and to punish those who treat 1t with in
dignity or wantonly misuse or destroy 1t.
The report was enthusiastically received and
the committee continued for another year.
Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Strong OF New York
addressed the conference. She said she had
secured an option upon the old Van Rens-
saeaer house at Greenbush opposite Albany,
n. Y, built in 1912, where Yankee Doodle"
was written. The purchase price was S6,500,
OF which She with the assistance OF friends
had paid one-third. This she desired to
present to the national body of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution, on the
condition that the care Of the mansion and
grounds be entrusted to the New York state
chapter. She asked that the Daughters in
terest themselves in the work OF securing
contributions to discharge the remaining
debt. The proposition was accepted and a
vote OF thanks given to Mrs. Strong

MORE HITCHES ON ARMY BILL
senator German Insists All Increases
in Army Are imperative
After July, 1901.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-There was lit
tie hitch in the agreement on the army
bill today, Senator German insisting that
the understanding was that all the in
creases made should cease July l. 1901.
That Is not provided for in the bill reported
and an amendment has been prepared and
will be offered adding another section, max
ing definite provision that all increases
shall cease on the date named and the army
shall be reduced to the number OF officers
and men provided for previous to the war
with Spain. The additional cadets APP
pointed will be excepted in this provision
The present understanding is that the
army bill will be passed by the se6ate today.
The additional section which Senator Cor
man asked for has proven unsatisfactory to
Senator Cockrell, the leading democratic
member of the committee, and consequently
the proposition to put it in is off, unless 1t
can be drawn in such a manner as not to
interfere with the regular army. Meanwhile
the bill is to be proceeded with and confer
ences will be held to see II any adjustment
can be made.

Louis, with Ex-Governor Francis at their
head, and the guests numbering nearly 200,
were members of the cabinet, the United

sented the cabinet, Justices White and

from the section included within the
purchase.
The menu occupied the attention of the
company until nearly 10 o'clock, when ex-
Governor Francis arose and delivered an

he represented.

was followed by Senator Teller, Representa-
tive Dolliver also delivered an eloquent
speech. The next speakers were Secretary
Hitchcock, Senator Thurston, Secretary

WASHINGTON SAFE AND SURE GUIDE
Senator Hoar Points to Him
Model 60 ALL u EallayN.

Model for All to Follow.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Hoar
of Massachusetts, in a lecture at the Cath
olc university before a large audience, con-
graduated the youth of America that We
have for our national hero a character
they might take as model of behavior IN
every condition, transaction and occupation
in life. There can be no question or
morality, courtesy, noble and elevated be-
havior. of expediency in the conduct or
difficult affairs, which may not be in some
way satisfactorily arranged by determining
what George Washington would have done
in the like case.
"Washington's virtues" he continued,
were the cornerstone virtues-not those
which excite the imagination or delight an
audience in portrayal"
Mr.. Hoar ended by calling on his hearers
who aspire to take hereafter honorable part
in tho service of the country ito follow IN
lifo the example and counsels of Georgs
Washington and to hold that man as the
enemy of the country who shall counseI q
departure from them. He pointed out how
in the past any departure from them by
the people has resulted in disaster and how
the people had come back to them again. as
in the case of the events preceding and fol-
lowing the civil war. So, he predicted, 1t
will happen in the future If in any spasm
OF popular excitement or in obedience TO
any fancied party interest the people for Il
time seem TO forget Washington's counsel,
to be led astray by the lust of empire or
passion for conquest or to have their eyes
dazzled by a false and tinsel Of military
glory.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
DO Not BE Alarmed, But Look for the
Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among the Ameri-
cans, are certainly increasing and while this
may be largely due to the excitement and
worry of American business life, IL Is more
often the result of weak stomachs, OF poor
digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but not
one case in a hundred of heart trouble is
organic.
The close relatlon between heart trouble
are controlled by the same great nerves, the
Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also, the helrt is affected
by the form of poor digestion, which causes
gas and fermentation from half dgested
food. There is feeling OF depression and
heaviness in the chest caused by pressure
of the dlstended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action; hence
arise palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also posons the blood,
making il thin and watery. which irritates
and weakens the heart
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and 10
insure The prompt assimilation OF food
This can be done by the regular use after
meals OF some safe, pleasant and effective
digestive preparation, like Stuarts Dyspep-
sia Tablets, which may be found at most
drug stores and which contain valuable
harmless digestive elements In a pleasant
convenien. form.
IT, is safe to say that the regular perslsteni
use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal
time will cure any form OF stomach trouble
except cancer OF the stomach.
Full sized packages of these tablets sold
by druggists at so cents. Little book or
stomach troubles mailed free. Address II. A

in similar circumstances"
MIR Hawley had asked who was afraid OF a
large standing army. In reply Mr.. Cor
man said that every state in the union was
afraid Of it. lie (Mr Germany was afraid Of
IL himself. Such an institution. he said was
contrary to the spirit of our institutions

peal to the senate to fix the number of men

the call. II this suggestion of his was
refused and the bill forced through CON
gress, then let the responsibility be taken
by those who advocated the measure"
MiIitnrism Necessity.
Mr.. Carter, a member of the military af-
fairs committee, replied to Mr.. German
After discussing the "cry of miltarism," he
declared: "Mlitarism comes to us as a
necessity, not as desire The present con
ditions were evolved from the war with
Spain. That war was evolved from the
sense OF outraged humanity for an oppressed
and stricken people, who desired only
chance to breath in Gods sunlight"
After discussing at length the result OF
the war with Spain, showing how the Span
ish fell into our hands, he asked If It was
desirable to leave those Islands to float about
the Pacific as political direlicts. To do that
he declared, would be the national theme of
the century. Having accepted those islands
we had undertaken also the responsibility
for law and order there
1--WE will first perform" said he, "the duty
Of the hour and there is not a man who
breathes in this chamber tonight who would
be willing to surrender our flag and posi-
tion to Aguinaldo and his followers" In
due course of time Mr. Carter believed, on
each of these liberated islands the people
would meet on their national holiday to
celebrate the landing of American troops,
which brought them freedom.
The army bill was then laid aside for
the day.
A bill authorizing the secretary OF the
treasury to purchase a site for new depot
for the Sixth light house district and to
erect the necessary buildings was passed.
On motion of Mr.. Hawley it was agreed
that when the senate adjourned 1t be until
II o'clock on Monday morning After pass
ing forty seven pension bills the senate, at
3.35 p. m.., adjourned.

Amendment Affecting volunteers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Secretary Alger
visited the senate today for the purpose OF
getting the compromise army bill amended
so as to authorize the re-enlistment OF the
volunteer soldiers now serving in the
Philippines. When the peace treaty takes
effect, the term of service OF the volunteers
will expire and necessarily there will be an
interim before new troops can be enlisted
and transported TO the islands. The secre-
;ary thinks that many of the volunteers
would be willing to remain during this in
terim and the amendment he proposes
grants authority to give them this oppor-
tunity. The senate committee on military
affairs has signifed its willingness to ac-
cept the amendment.

SENATE TAKES UP THE ARMY BILL
Effort to Secure nm Agreement to Vote
Monday Enils.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 25.-An effort to get
an agreement to vote on the army bill at
3 o'clock on Monday failed Senator Morrill,
then made a speech in favor of the bill.
Senator Cockrell explained the increases
made by the compromise bill. The artillery
increase was essential and therefore justi-
fable. He said the permanent increase for
the entire army would amount to a little
over 10000, giving standing army of about
$4,000 after July l, 1901. He defended the
increase in the staff as necessary in con-
nection with the general increase in num-
bers in the army. Likewise the general
officers provided for were also necessary
There would be no burden on the people
and Mr. Cockrell thought the bill should
be accepted 1t was the best bill for the
reorganization OF the army that had been
presented in the senate since he became a
member of that body in 1876 If the present
opportunity was lost, so acceptable a bill
would not again be secured.
