56th CONGRESS-.
Senate Works on the Naval Bil-House
Passes Several Private Measures.

Washington, May S.-The Senate, to-
day, concluded consideration Of the ma
val appropriation bill with the eXcep-
ton of the section relating to armor
and armament. This went over until
tomorrow, when it will be considered
in secret session. During the morning
hour number Of minor bills were
passed, among them one to reimburse
various collectors of internal revenue
for internal revenue stamps charged
against them but not accounted for.
The debate on the naval bill was prac-
tically confined to the paragraph re-
Iatng to the commissioning Of naval
cadets The committees amendment
striking out the proposition in the
House bill which sought to commission
the cadets at the expiration of the four
years term at the naval academy, abul-
ishing the preliminary two years at
sea, was carried after 4 warm debate.
Some facts almost startling in their
importance were laid before the Senate,
today, in secret legislative session at
the conclusion of the regular open ses-
sion. They related, it is understood, to
the invention of a shell by Il prominent
Off1cer OIL lIe OHlleu oldltS navy, d
shell superior in every essential quality
to any now in use either by this or by
any other government. The quality of
penetration possessed by the shell is
said to be SO great that no armor now
manufactured in the United States or
abroad has sufficient resistance to
withstand it. The facts which We're in
the possession of only few Of the SEN
ators were deemed so important that
the Senate decided to consider them in
secret session. Today. after the naval
bill had been laid aside for the day. Mr..
Tillman asked for 4 secret session in
order that he might explain to the
Senate why he desired the armor plate
matter to be discussed in secret. The
Senate agreed with him and, tomorrow,
the armor plate matter will be discuss
ed behind closed doors.

liminary to the re-opcning Of the fight

An Ancient Belief.

The ancicnts believed that rhcuma-
tism was the work of demon within
a man. Any one who has had an at
tack of sciatic or innammatory rhcu-
matism Will agree that the inniction is
demoniac enough to warrant the be-
lief 1t has never been claimed that
Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast
out demons. but it will cure rhcuma-
tis,n. and hundreds bear testimony to
the truth of this statement. One ap-
plication relieves the pain, and this
quick relief which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost. For sale

Corbett and jeiiries ia Fighting Trim-Jeiiries
the Probable Agressor.

New York, May S.-The reports of
the condition of Corbett and Jeffries,
who are scheduled to meet in this
city in the near future, is attract
ing some little attention among local
sporting men. Corbett, whose muscles
seem to be thoroughly hardened and sea-
soned as the result of his three months
training, appears to be as strong as an
OK. He says that his strength is greater
than il has been for long time. He Will
enter the ring weighing lis pounds. 1t Is
the general impression around Jenrles
training camp that the champion VIII en-
plOy entirely different tactics i'll ms hght
with CCrbett from those he used when ne
fought FitZs!mmons and Sharkey. II Is
believed by Jeffries' friends that Corbett
will try to stay the full limit and get the
decision over the champion on points: IN
former fights Jeffries has always had MS
opponent come to him. If Corbctt refuses
to do any rushing during the early pi',t
Of the battle it is said that JcffricS VIII
he the aggressor and try to accomplish
knockout as quickly as possible.

There are not many schools in this
country where girls are trained in
things essential to housekeeping.
Higher education has its place. but
there is a lower one that, nine
times out of ten, is far more impor-
tant. Every woman should have all
the privileges that modern schools
afford, but with all this training she
should not lose sight of the fact that
household duties must be performed.
1t is not enough to trust these things
to servants, even If one can afford it.
Servants are stupid and few Of them
really know how to do what they pro-
fess to be hired for. 1t takes some
guiding, overseeing, mind with a full
knowledge of these duties to bring
good results. Young girls graduating
from school should next graduate from
the kitchen. Less style and more sense
is the need of the hour.
