Washington, Feb. l5.-That the oppo-
sliion to the shipping bill in the SEN
al" VIII not permit a vote to be taken
on the measure at the present session
was made clear during the closing
hour of today'S session. For several
days ii has been evident that it would
be difficult TO gain unanimous consent
To take vote upon the mea sure. but
not until late today was the frank as
sertlon made that a vote could not be
had
Al the conclusion of several hours
consideration of the bill. Teller, col.
in an impassioned speech declared
that he would not consent to any
agreement to vote.
The statement by the Colorado sen
ator elected a sharp response from Al
Grich of Rhode Island and drew the
fire of Chandler OF New Hampshire
who asserted that the position Of the
opposition was preposterous.
Hanna Of Ohio. replied to Teller in n
iorceful speech. in the course Of which
he became impassioned in his denun-
citation OF the methods employed bv
the opposition To defeat the measure
Earlier in the day the agricultural
appropriation bill was passed after be-

SWEET EATERS.
Way to Correct ChiIdren's Taste.

Sometimes children become W'liui
and refuse nourishing food. demanding
sweets. candy, ice cream, etc, much TO
their detriment. 1t is Il great help II,
such cases to have a food that is
naturally sweet and attractive.
,aso in Phila delphia will illustrate.
The daughter of Mrs. NJ. f. Searies.
living at 1880 MlIin St. was delicate
child from infancy and had been IN
obliged in many things. She gradually
cot thinner and more fretful daily,
refusing food other than sweets, etc.
finally contracting Whooping cough
which undermined Ter health to such
n extent that Ter attending physicians
agreed that her cough had developed
into bronchial catarrh, and that only
:, short time would ensue before con-
.umption would relieve her SufferinGS.
IN despair, the childS' aunt was sent
for. aud knowing the wonderful
plitritive value of Grape Nuts food. she
prep.,Ie ed some and induced the little
one to eat il. At the first taste she
eaid: "Oh auntie. this is so nice,
want some more" From that time the
child acquired an appetite and began
70 improve. She was fed on Grape
Nuts steadily until now she is per

Committee on Commerce.

Washington. FEB. 15.-The Senate
committee on commerce. today. oon-
SiGered the question Of attaching To the
river and harbor bin a provision au-
thorizing the acquisition Of right of
way for the proposed Nicaragua canal
Senator Elkins is pressing the matter
upon the basis of the amendment sug-
2ested by Senator Morgan, which s as
follows: THAT the President Of the
United States be. and is hereby au-
thoriZed to acquire from the states of
Costa Rica and Nicaragua. for and in
behalf of the United States. control of
such portion of territory now belong
ing to Costa Rica and Nicaragua as
may be desirable and necessary on
which to eNcavate, construct and pdo-
tect a canal of such depth and capac-
ity as will be sufficient for the move
ment OF ships Of the greatest tonnage
and draft now in use. from point
near Greytown. in the Caribbean Sea.
near Lake Nicaragua. to Brito. on the
Pacific ocean. and such sum as may
be necessary to secure such control is
hereby ap propriated out of any money
in the treasury not otherwise appro-
priated."
There is vigorous opposition to the
amendment on the ground that il
would overload the river and harbor
bill and also because it makes no
definite appropriation. A vote upon the
proposition will be taken next week
All told. the committee on commerce
has added between $1,000 600 and S.
900. Geo to the total appropriations made
by the river and harbor bin as it pass
ed the House.

IN THE HOUSE.

Washington. Feb. 1J.-Under the lead
crShip Of Cannon. chairman Of the
appropriations committee, a long ill
buster consumed the time of the House
today. Cannon desired the House TO
proceed with the sundry civil apprnpri-
alton bill but was caught mapping by
the Democrats. who desired to devote
the day 10 the consideration of private
claims.
II was the last day under the rules
which could be devoted to claims ut
this Congress. and notices had ',eer
sent cut, yesterday. asking the Demo
Gratis To y" in their seats today. As 4
result, Cannon was outWitted, but he
kept up the fight all day. forcing roll

cannot Be mistaken BY any one who
reads her letter. ~
Green Bay Wis,
March 3, 1900.
Wells, Richardson & Co.,
Gentlcmen:-- For the pastten years
have been troubled with neuralgia of
the stomach and dizziness in the head.
| have doctored with many doctors, but
found no relief until a friend of mine
recommended to me your Paine's celery
compound. ana | found it q great cure
for my sickness. Yours very truly,
Mrs. Geo. f. Rouse.
Public opinion in the large cities
throughout the country shows the reli-
ance that hard-Worked. often over
worked, men and women have come to
place upon Paines celery compound.
Nothing demoraliZes the health
sooner or more completely than even
the occasional loss of sleep. Paine's
celery compound gets the brain out of
this dangerous habit Of sleeplessness.
1t feeds the nervous tissues all over
the body. and does not let the nutrition
Of these delicate parts get low enough
to permit of insomnia. one of the
earliest evidences Of the final success
Of this great nerve ana brain invigor-
atu- in curing neuralgia. debility. rheu-
matism, headaches ana Indigestion due
to insufficient nerve force. is the joyous
feeling Of returning strength of mind
ana body. cheerfulness ana well be
ing that takes the place of the old,
tired. languid. morbid. melancholy con-
dition.
Ii you ale played out" to use for
chile street phrase, can't digest can't
sleep. can't work. ANA nave lost cour-
age, it is Your nervous system that is
played out" Try Paine's celery com
pound and see how soon sou give up
brooding over your health ANA how
soon You forget You ever had nerves
that could possibly ache. The dismal
failures Of other remedies must not
prevent one from taking the remedy
that is always successful Paine
celery compound has driven sickness
from thousands of homes.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1901-02-16

1t can be truthfuliy said Of no other
remedy in the world what is SO often
said Of Paine's celery compound, that
in no single instance. has it failed to
benefit, and benefit permancntly-and
there's the point that no suffefe.'
should lose sight Of.
The whole stock trade of the ordi-
nary. plausible sounding, but wholly
irr"> ponsihlc remedies is to bring about
the appearance Of health. to cover up
symptoms ana to stIvc off break
downs. making the permanent cure ell
the more difficult.
Other remedies. because they can ef-
feet no lasting culc. do harm.
The same words that fairly ANA aC-
curately describe painc's celery COM
pound. a remedy that every day proves
its worth. are boldly used to exploit
connections that can by no possibility
do anything but harm. More brains
and ingenuity is expended on the label
and wrapper than on what is put into
the bottles. Persons who try this rem
edy and that. in the foolish hope that
they may hit on the right one by
chance and at any rate ii can DO them
no harm. should know that they are
doing their system incalculable mis-
chief and putting off the day Of COM
plete recovery by such Experimenting.
Paine's celery compound must not b.
Judged by the standard of any of these
superficial medicines. 1t is great. re-
sponsible. scientific discovery. singh
larly unlike any remedial agent that
ever aimed to effect n similar purpose
to make people well. 1t is not an
ordinary remedy. The results from its
use have been so extraordinary and 50
gratifying that busy men and women
have gone out Of their way TO send
letters Of thanks ana to allow their
names to vouch for every statement
they have made in praise Of 1T.
The following acknowledgement from
Mrs. Geo. F. Rouse of Green Bay,
Wis, of the surprising benefit she mas
received from the use of Paine'S celery
compound is too valuable 70 he with
held from the public. Mrs. Rouse $
