ga Midnight Alarm"

A medical practitioner Of the old
school was called out Of his warm bed
on very stormy night in mid winter,
by a vigorous ringing Of his door bell.
He thrust his head out Of the window
and said, What's wanted?" His ex-
cited caller below said, "You must get
up and 60 over to Bowen's, he is very
sick" "What seems to be the matter
with himP" He's got chill, teeth
chatter, and can't get warm" "Well,
you 60 back and fill a pail with hot
water, put some mustard into it, and
let him soak his feet in it. Wrap him
up in wooden blanket. Get tumbler

nutmeg into it, and let him drink 1t.
It will do him good!" Land sakes

body good!" There is more than one
moral to this story. First Of all, you
must have chill. Second, you must
follow the Doctors advice, any Whisky
won't do. G. o. Taylor Whisky can be
depended upon for emergencies of this
sort; the weakest stomachs retain it.

No vote on ISthmian
Canal project this
session.
Hay-Panncefote Treaty goes
over to next winter.
So Republican caucus decides.

The Senate Republican caucus
committee has decided by unani-
nous vote to postpone consideration
of the Hay Pauncerote treaty until
the short session. Its fate then will
largely depend on the result OF the
election. The reason for its tempor-
airy shelving was tine knowledge that
it seemed impossible at this session
to ratify the treaty either with or
without an amendment. Thursdays
executive session showed the original
treaty to be very strong. The stand
taken by Senators Platt Of Connec-
ticut, Wolcott of Colorado, and one
or two others against fortifcatiop
was wholly unexpected and was
strong force in causing the caucus
action. 1t has been stated repeat
edIy that all the Republican members
of the forcing relations committe Q
are in favor Of the fertilization. amend
ment. 1t may be stated on high
authority that one Of the leading
members is opposed to that amend

of the ''Times. Herald" puts it, with
pipe dreams of colonies and conquestS
and government outside the Consti-
tuition, there will be terrible ava
kening next November"
The indianapolis Journal, says:
'The Senate Puerto Rican bill is
neither fish, flesh, nor fowl>neither
free trade, nor revenue tariff, nor
consistent legislation Of any kind.
1t is patchwork of inconsistencies
and a hodgepodge OF makeshifts. Ev-
cry step that has been taken to secure
the passage of the bill in either
branch Of Congress has been a poll
tical blunder, and the arguments in
favor OF It have been clearly disin-
genuous or cOnspicuously weak."

ment. This was another factor in
the caucus decision.
This postponement, ho0ever, does
not mean that no attempt will be
made to pass the canal bills at this
session. Representative Hepburn
and Senator Morgan both announce
that they intend to press their mea-
sures for early consideration. If the
bill is once brought before the House
it can hardly fail to pass. In the
Senate there is also a majority for
the Morgan bill, and itmay be cons
idered as passed. But there is
hardly a possibility of securing a
a compromise measure at this session
because Of the opposition of the pro.
baby early adjournment.

E'Amerlcan promises, cOnsidera-

peoples will in regard to Puerto
Rico are the same to-day as they
were in July, 1898, in December,
1899, and in January, 1900. The
people demand the fulflment of the
pledges and duty Of the United Sta

 A TOURISTS RETURN.-Mr Dan Huntington, our Dan. returned yester- day morning from d tour around the world, and California. He is a distant relative of COllis P. Huntington-so dis tant. in fact, that he has been unable tc find the common root of the family tree. and is inclined to disown the rail- way magnate's kinship. But he is loyal to the name, and refused to travel over road owned by any one else. so he took q short circuit round the world and got off the cars at the same depot he started from.
 TWO-DAY COMBINATIONS J. W. Frakes .s one of the most fortunate men in the world. in that for the last seventy-four years he has been able to continue his Fourth of July celebra- tions through the 5th, by virtue of having been born on that day. The clos ing year of the century was no different from the days of auld lang syne in this respect. and. as usual, he included the 5th m his holiday calendar. There have been few notable changes, iIl the United States since Mr. Frakes be- gan counting mile posts, and 1t is to be hoped his itinerary through this vale of tears will include a big chunk of the next century-all of 1t. if possible. He was voting the republican ticket before half the politicians of the present day were born, and if he has good luck will still be voting it when many of them are dead.
 A MUTUAL AFFAIR.-The demo- cratic county central committee. which net on Thursday and fixed the time for holding the county convention, or rath- CT two county conventions in enc, has been described as having done it in the interest of Colonel Wilson, candidate for delegate to congress. on the theory that his interests are so connected with those of certain candidates for county offices that if they succeed he will also. sc far as this colnty is concerned. That was said by democrat yesterday to be one way of looking at it. but those county candidates had less interest in Colonel Wilson's case than in their own. and believed that as he was sure of the support of this county. they would get along better by riding with him. The combine is said to have been made in the interest of Colonel Wilson and N. A. Sanders, candidate for sheriff, and W. E. LOunt. candidate for treasurer.

 The mission boards of the other de- nominations have sent out similar calls. and Christian people everywhere are joining in microscopy prayer to the God of nations that He may wisely guide our president and his naval and military representatives in China. guard and comfort our beloved missionaries in all their peril and sufferings. enable the persscuted Chinese Christians to re main loyal to Christ, to overrule all the commOtions of the present time to the furthering of the kingdom.
