Most people become puzzled wheI
wanting to buy good spring rem
edy as so many blood remedies are
advertised. Think a minute. Sar,
saparilla is good for the blood
celery is good for the nerves; ii
these two are combined with rem
edies to promote digestion you will
have a remedy several times more
effective than any sarsaparilla.
Gatlin's Sarsaparilla Celery Tonic
combines all the above III a perfect
manner. Hence, you get more
value for your money than with
any other remedy.

PRIVATE BILLS IN HOUSE.

Washington, May S.-The house de-
voted most of today to the c~onsidera-
ton of private bills recommended from
the committee on claims and ten bills
were passed. The most important was
one to remit the penalties imposed by
the government on the Union Iron
works of San Francisco, the builders
of the monitor Monterey, for her fail
ure to make contract speed.
Before the consideration Of these
bills was entered upon, the house ap-
proved the actions of the ways and
means committee in reporting against
a resolution calling upon the secretary
of the treasury for information regard
ing the materials used in the mani
facture of o~lemargarine, which is on
file in the internal revenue office. The
majority of the committee contended
that this information could not be
furnished under the revised statutes
and that 1t would betray secrets, but
the resolution was adopted. This is
preliminary to the reopening of the
fight for the Grout bill in the committee
on agriculture.

A very interesting gentleman who
has had much to do with private sani-
tariums in and around New York said
the other evening: Il can always tell
when there are hard times in the
financial and commercial world. How?
Why. all the private sanitariums in
this ~neighborhood and in the Adiron-
dacks are almost depleted. The men
and women who believe hat they are
seriously i'll, and who pamper their
predictions toward hypochondria.
drop all their fads and fancies and get
back into the world in order to make
the fight to make both ends meet.
Vast wealth and luxury fill our sani-
tariums, while hard times bring the
people to their senses and to the be-
lief that they are not quite as sick as
they believed themselves to be. Any
body can stand adversely, but very few
can stand prosperity."-New York

SENATE AND HOUSE
SENATORS REFUSE TO SHORTEN
SCHOOLING OF THE Ma
VAL CADETS.
The Claim is Made That There is Ur-
gent Need for Nearly Seven Hun
dred Naval Officers, but Senate Re-
fuses to Abolish Two Years Train
ing at Sea for Cadets.

Washington, May S.-The senate to-
day concluded consideration of the
naval appropriation bill, with the ex-
ception of that section relating to ar
NOR and armament. This went over
until tomorrow, when it will be con-
sidered in secret legislative session.
During the morning hour a number
of minor bills were passed, among them
one to reimburse various collectors of
internal evenue stamps charged
against them, but not accounted for.
The debateon the naval bill was prac-
ically confined to the paragraph relat-
ing to the commissioning Of naval ca
diets. The committee amendment strik-
ing out the proposition in the house
bill which sought to commission the ca
diets at the expiration of the four years
term at the naval academy, abolishing
the preliminary w years at sea, was
carried after a warm debate.
Mr.. Foraker (Ohio) vigorously OPP
posed the amendment to strike out the
house provision. He felt that it was an
Injustice to the cadets to wait two years
after graduation before they received
their commissions
Mr.. Foraker said the navy was now
short of officers. He believed that they
ought to be given their commissions
when they were sent to sea after grad
uating.
Mr.. Hale said there were enough Of
ficers to man the vessels of the navy
if so many were not engaged in shore
duty.
Mr.. Lodge believed it would be UNI
wise to reject the committees amend
ment. He thought it would insure a
steady and permanent enlargement OF
the complement of the naval officers.
Mr.. Caffery strongly opposed the
amendment. declaring there was now
a shortage of 697 officers in the navy.
Mr.. Tillman supported the amend
ment. He pointed out the immense re-
sponsibility devolving upon naval Off
GERS in the care at sea of great battle
ships and cruisers, and he did no ap-
prove of sending to sea "~greenhorns'
in charge of property worth millions
of dollars.
A concurrent resolution directing the
secretary of war to have made a sur
vey Of the Colorado river from Eldora-
was passed. A resolution calling upon
the secretary of the interior for infor-
nation as to the financial affairs Of the
Santee and Sioux Indians Of Nebraska,
was also passed.
The house amendments to the Grand
Army pension bill were agreed to with
out debate.

LOCOMOTIVES RUN WITH OIL,

One of the largest railroads on the
Pacific coast has decided to substitute
oil in place of coal as fuel on its en-
.gines. But whether the experiment will
prove a success remains to be seen. In
this respect it differs from the famous
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which has
made a decided success in its fifty years
of cures of stomach ills, such as dyspep-
STA, Indigestion and biliousness. Do
not experiment with unknown rene
dies when this safe and reliable medi-
cine can be had of any druggist. Try
a bottle and be convinced. 1t will build
up your debililated system strengthen
your weak stomach and make it capable
of digesting the food taken into it, and
when this is done health must natur-
ally follow.

AMERICANS KILLED.
Barotac Garrison of Twenty Men At
tackled by Insurgents.

Manila, May S.-A force of rebels on
May . attacked twenty men Of Com
pany | of the Forty-fourth regiment,
stationed at Barotac, IlOilo province,
on the island of Panay.
Three of the Americans were killed
and seven were wounded.
The enemy, estimated to number 400
men. surrounded Barotac and attacked
the place on all sides. After two men
had been killed and four wounded. the
American commander sent four men to
try and get through to communicate
with the remainder OF the company at
Dumangas. Of the four men one was
killed and three were wounded. The
latter managed to return to Barotac.
A friendly native finally brought news
of the fight to a company OF the Tween
ty-sixth. who succored the garrison Of
Barotac on the night of May 3. The
enemy's losses were heavy.
A court-martial composed Of General
Hall presiding. General Grant and sew

the result that the prisoner was imme-
diately "boloed."

of the so-called Filipino cabinet who
was recently captured in the mountains
of Trinidad, has arrived here and has
been placed incommunicado in the 20
litical Jail. He is suffering greatly

IN FRANCE.
Drink Is Making Fearful Havoc Among
tho People.

A French scientist charges that alco-
holism threatens the entire civilized
world, and in France it has wrought
its greatest mischief. The life Of
France is being Slapped by the scourge.
1t has already resulted in a frightful
increase In suicides, the insane and
criminals. In 1898 France consumed
over $1,000, 900 gallons Of alcohol. This
was an average Of nine pints for each
inhabitant Of France-men, women and
children. As three-quarters of this al
cohol is consumed by one-tenth of the
Inhabitants. one out Of every ton
Frenchmen drinks 200 pints of brandy
each year, or II ponies every day. In
this estimate no accoun is taken of
the alcohol contained In lighter liquors.
such as wine. cider, beer, etc. II this
be considered the average consumption
of alcohol In all forms rises to twenty
eight pints of alcohol instead of nine.
This tremendous consumption Of alco-
hol has developed only within a few
years, for in 1851 the consumption was
but three pints per capita. Within the
last ten years the consumption of alb
sinthe has increased to such an extent
in France that five times as much al
cohol is used for the manufacture OF
the green serpent" as was used ten
years ago. while the population has not
increased in the meantime.
