The announcement from Senator Vest of Missouri that he will under no circumstances consider a reelection to the senate, will prove matter of se- gret to the democrats not only of Mis- souir but of the country. He has been a loyal democrat and consistent fight CT for democratic measures in the sen ate for nearly two decades in the mat ter of the trusts. He said that during the last congress the republicans in the house passed bill making the provis- ions of the Sherman law more effect i've, but the republicans never permit ted it to come to q vote in the senate. They referred it to the Judiciary com mittee. and there it died. Every eff fort of the democrats, to have it report ed was defeated. "That shows pretty conclusively how the republican party stands on the trust question:" con cluded the senator.

There has been much comforting be- teen democratic senators and represen- tatives as to the policy of the party during this session of congress. There are many opinions as to particular matters likely to come before congress, but the concensus of opinion among democrats appears to be that. not being in majority in either branch of con- gress, it is up to them to saw wood and keep their eyes open in the inter- ests of the people; that while they can not outvote the republicans on any thing, they can head off some of the contemplated footing of the treasury surplus by showing up the jobs and arousing public opinion against them. There is also a marked division of sen- timent among the republicans upon . number of important subjects, and should these differences continue they will offer openings for good democratic work on the floor of the house and sen ate, and all such openings will 'Ie promptly taken advantage of.

The president recently told Repre- sentative Sherman of the committee on interstate and foreign commerce, that he would make no recommendation in his message of any particular company or method of acquiring Pacific cable, but that he would emphasize the neces- sity of congress making some provis- ion for one. After leaving the presi- dent MT Sherman said that he would, at the first session, introduce bill au- thorizing the postmaster-general to en- ter into contract with any persons or corporation for the purpose of securing the construction of such cable. sfr Sherman is opposed to the govern ment's laying it's own cable, and his bill will be practically the same as that introduced last year and held up by those members of congress who favor government ownership.

Mayor Hart of Boston has been re- nominated by his republican friends, and the Hon Patrick Collins will be put in the field as the democratic can didate tonight. Mayor Hart has ap- pointed many democrats to places in the municipal service and relies on their help to secure a reelection. Mir Collins was defeated by certain rene gade democrats two years ago. It is thought his chances of success are much better this year: Renegades arc now returning to the party all over the country.-Hartford Times.
 Those of them that have not yet re- turned are trying with might and main to reorganize the party, but failing in that they, too, will no doubt return. It is great time for political prodigals.

The Schley court is now holding two sessions daily to consider the tes- timony taken in the open hearings. An abstract of this is being made, showing what facts have been estab- lished and on what there is conflict of evidence, which must be weighed by the court. Navy rules forbid the giving out of any information in re- gard to the findings in advance of their submission to the secretary or the navy and there is little doubt that reports as to progress are mere guesses. Bitterness of feeling at Washington has not abated as re- suit of the inquiry; the extremists who charged Schley with actual cow ardice have vanished, but the navy is still divided into two hostile camps, each claiming that it's contentious have been upheld by the testimony. Mean while the admiral is quietly awaiting the verdict; however it may result, the
 
 of forty-five years active service in the United States navy have been swallowed up, together with all the prize money he will receive for the victory in the Spanish war. Every cent of the $2O,0OO he had hoped to leave his family is gone, leaving noth- ing but his life insurance and a small pension to protect them if anything shall happen to him. As long as he lives he will receive $5,625 year pay as a retired rear admiral, but this will stop at his death. Nevertheless, Mrs Schley says that the yindication of his good name will be cheaply bought at the price. If the court gives him this, it is possible that his friends may ask congress to repay him the money spent at the trial, though he himself deprecates such action.

Brilliant Feat of Major Walters Men
 < Tn Samar.
 MANILA, Nov. 21-Major l.. w. T. Waller of the marine corps has cabled Rear Admiral Rodgers, at Manila, a full and detailed account of the attack Nov. z by the men of his command up- on the rebel stronghold at Sojoton, near Basey, island of Sanar
 Three insurgent camps were destroy ed, forty bamkon cannon were captur- ed, and muchs1ice,and other stores were destroyed The rebel stronghold was almost impregnable. The trails leading to it were lined with poisoned spears sticking from the ground and were fill ed with hidden pitfalls.
 Major Walters command attacked the enemy unexpectedly. To do this they had to scale a cliff POO feet high. This they climbed barefooted over bam- boo ladders. At the top they found powders piled ready to precipitate up- on an attacking party.
 Major Waller says he was personally not present at the action. He praises Captain David D. Porter and Captain Hiram I. Bearss for their splendid work and says too much praise cannot be given the marines themselves, whose behavior he characterizeS as brilliant in every respect.
 The major considers the sealing of cliffs 200 feet high as new feature of warfare and says such men would be able to do anything anywhere. Thirty of the enemy were killed. The marines sustained a few trifiing wounds.
 Rear Admiral Rodgers has replied to Major Waller, congratulating him on this successful action by his command.
 Sixto Lopez, who has been in the United States and Europe in the inter- est of the Filipino insurgents and who is now at Hongkong, has written to Governor Taft asking to be exempted from taking the oath of allegiance to the United States upon his arrival at Manila, asserting this action might in jure his labors in behalf of peace.
 Aguinaldo has written General Chaf- fee, the military governor of the Philip pines, asking the latter's permission to go before congress and express the de sires of the Filipino people. Aguinaldo further requests to be accompanied by eight friends, whom he designates, four of whom are prisoners at Guam, while the others are prominent in Manila.

 It hardly seems possible that in this age of fair play any man or set of men would take advantage of q printers error to induct themselves into office, and, furthermore, it is doubtful if any court in the land would uphold men in such move were they grasping and greedy enough for office to try it. Th~re isn't q man, or woman, for that matter, in Waterbury that thinks for a moment the Hon Judge Cowell would attempt to gain the mayors office by any such move. The judge loves good square fight, open. and above board, but when it comes to thwarting the will of the people we feel safe in saying he is not the man to engage in any such work. There fore all this talk about republicans taking the offices to which democrats were elected is the dream, no doubt, of some hustling newspaper man who wanted a good story for his paper. We are glad to be able to say that the fore- most men Of the republican party are against such a proceeding, even were there any ground for 1t.

 BAD FAITH DENIED.

BulEnrian Forefgu Offce Resents In- sinuations-UItfmatu to Bandits. SOFIA, Nov. -21.-The foreign office nere resents the insinuations published
 abroad that the government is acting in bad faith in the matter of effecting the release of Miss Stone and, explain ing it's attitude toward MT. Dickinson, the diplomatic agent here of the United States, affirms it's entire readiness to take any action suggested by him. The foreign office also ayers that, act Ing upon the suggestion of Mir. Dick inson, it caused the village of Grat-
 choWO to be surrounded and searched a fortnight ago, but the brigands were not there. It also says that MT. Dick inson's later information to the effect
 that the bandits were concealed in a
 def1le of the Belleritza mountains, dis
 trict of Dubnitza, could not be acted
 upon by it, as an inquiry showed the place in question to be within Turkish
 territory.
 The latest intelligence received here
 sets forth that the brigands are holding
 out for high figure of ransom, and it
 is asserted that they are able to keep
 their captives as long as this may be
 necessary.
 MT. Dickinson, according to the ve-
 2erna Posta, whose editor was q mem Der of the former Macedonian commit
 tee, has sent an ultimatum to the brig
 ands, giving them six days to accept
 a specified sum as the ransom for Miss
 Stone. If this amount is not accepted
 within the time mentioned Mfr Dick
 inson's offer will be withdrawn.

FRED WHIsKEY INSIDE.

He owned a six days growth or tangled beard, a carmine-tinted nose, and an impeachment in his voice. The top of his aged straw hat. the soles of his broken shoes and all the buttons thermore, he was near-sighted and, worse than all, he was consumed with a burning thirst.
 But when he entered a certain down town drug store yesterday afternoon his parched lips were parted in a smile and he held his head high.
 sG-g-iye me bout fo-four finger of that free whiskey," he muttered to the astonished clerk. "D-d-don't know what your game is. but I read your sign outside the door, an I ju-just came in to help you along. Unjust four fingers for q starter"
 After they had thrown him out and he had partly recovered from the shock of his collision with the pave ment, the luckless tramp took a second look at the sign and then asked a sympathetic spectator to read it to him.
 "Th-th-there's a lot of fine print in it what l ca-can't read without me glasses, cause I'm near-sighted," he explained "Bu-but I'm b-blamed if it doesn't say in big type that there's free whiskey inside"
 Then they read this sign to him and he all but collapsed

HEARD IN PASSING

It is said in Washington that Book CT Washington has more spulp' with Mir Roosevelt than any other one man.
 If the Schley court of Inquiry does not hurry up it's report will have to De accompanied by proof of identlty to get the attention of the public
 MT Roosevelt will be known as T humorist if he puts out few more jokes like his pull-will-not-secure- pro- motion gag.
 Senator Proctor, who has a reputa- ton as a grabber of good things, IS posing now as the original Roosevelt man. For number of years he was the original Mckinley man.
 Ex-Senator Washburn of Minnesota did some plain talking at the White House in, his effort to persuade MT Roosevelt that there was. sentiment in favor of tariff revision too extensive to be ignored with impunity, but the trusts had been ahead of him and bagged the game.
 Two Minnesota congressmen-Taw- ney and Morris-haye locked horns over the proposition to set aside S00,- GOO acres of land in that state for q public park. Tawney fayors the scheme and Morris opposes it on the ground that the land ought to be util- ized to furnish thousands of homes.
 The democrats won all along the line in the Wallingford borough cleo ton on Tuesday, the pluralities of the successful candidates ranging from 30 to over 100 on q light vote. Dennis G. Morris defeated William l. Todd (repl for warden, and the burgesses elected were Charles H. Tibbetts, Os- cer Peterson and x-Representative Michael O'Callahan.
 That New Haven policeman who arrested County Commissioner Thomp- son of East Haven says Ire mistoolS him for somebody else and that he's awfully sorry for the blunder, and so MT Thompson has revoked his purpose to annihilate the official. Anybody who mistakes Mir Thompson for some other person is guilty of misdemean- or, if not. indeed, q felony, and the bungling bluecoat should be summar- fly bounced.-Hartford Post.
 It is stated that there are 24,00D legitimate physicians and 6.00O quacks practicing medicine i'll the German empire. The proportion of four to one in favor of legitimacy. the San Fran cisco Call thinks, could hardly be matched anywhere else. Tn this coun- try if any comprehensive census could be taken of all who carry on some kind of quackery in curing disease it would probably be found that the quacks exceeded the legitimate doc tors in number instead of being equal only to one-fourth of them.-New Ha- ven Register.

A cHILD'S STORY OF ST CEcILE

 Have you heard that sweet, sweet old
 story
 Of the beautiful Saint Cecile? How the dear angels came down one
 day
 To list to her organs peal? She played something, sweet and so The way meadow nrook-water flows As over the pebbles, gluck, a-chink,
 swirl,
 As over the pebbles it goes. ! Then all the music just seemed to
 laugh Way out loud like girl like me; Then all the birdies began to sing And to carol in ev'ry tree. Then the music ran down to the foot Of the beautiful organ keys, Ran up little and then jumped off Like me on the steps with Louise But in a while it began to climb Away up, away up so high; The dear saints fingers ran on so
 quick,
 The music got into the sky. The playing began to talk about Up ill heaven where we can't see, Where nobody's cross, nobody's bad, And ev'rything's nice as can be. Where beautiful flowers bloom all
 year,
 And the children like you and me Can get her some and bring them to And put them right down on His
 knee. And while the dear saint played on
 and on,
 Such delicate, sweet perfume, Seemed to rest oyer her lovely head And to float throu' the great big room. And then--OIi, isn't it wonderful? But yet it's as true, it's as true, Into the room where the saint sat Such beautiful child angels flew. Over the keys and down in her lap They dropped roses straight down
 from heaven. Oh. ever.so many. Why, guess, Most sixty or eighty-seven. Wouldn't you like to have seen it al? :? And given the angels q kiss? And got some sweet roses for mama And for papa and me and Chris? Mama has said if I'm good all day; Yes, right good for the whole day long, Angels will come at tucking-in time And take God sweet little song. A song made of smiles and kind ac-
 tionS
 And the times when try not to cry, And helping my teacher in school And taking tie small piece of pie. That must be the funniest song for The dear little angels to hold. P'r'aps the pieces fall on the sky floor When the paper gets all unrolled. I s'pose God is saving our roses In vases so shiny and high. I'm keepingefhe little red rose of my
 heart
 Till see him up III the sky.

Ex-Congressman A. T. Goodwin,
from Alabama writes the following
letter:
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus,
Ohio:
Gentlemen-"I have now used two
bottles of Peruna, and am a we'll man
today / could feel the good effects
of your medicine before had used it
week, after suffering with catarrh
for over year." Respectfully, A.
T. Goodwin.
Catarrh in it's various forms is
rapidly becoming national curse.
An undoubted remedy has been dis
covered by DR.. Hartman. This rem
edy has been thoroughly tested dur
ing the past 40 years. Prominent
men have cone to know OF its virtues
and are making public utterances on
the subject. TO save the country we
must save the people. To save the
people we must protect them from
disease. The disease that is ut once the
most prevalent and stubborn of cure
is catarrh. Public men OF all parties
recognize in Peruna national catarrh
remedy of unequalled merit.
If you do not derive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use of
Peruna, write at once to DR.. Hart
man, giving full statement of your
case and he will be pleased to give
you his valuable advice gratis.
Address DIR. Hartman, president OF
the Hartman Sanitarum, Columbus,

SINKING SPELLS.
ALARMING SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED
IN A SWORN STATEMENT.
Mrs. W. r. Clark, of Rome, N. Y. Tells
why She 10 Now Recommending
WeNknOwn Remedy to
Her Friends.

Indigestion and stomach trouble
have many results that are not always
readily traced to their real cause.
Sometimes the kidneys are apparently
affected but more often an irregulari-
ty of the hearts action produces far
more alarming symptom. The cause
is easily explained and is removed
when the stomach trouble is cured.
A case in point is that of Mrs. w. T.
Clark, of 31S West Thomas street,
Rome, N. Y. She says:
ITO begin with, / had gastritis,
which brought on sinking spells for
about an hour every morning. l was
very weak and nervous and finally was
compelled to take to my bed. My
illness began in the spring of 1897,
and continued for about four months.
For about half this time was con-
fined to my bed. l suffered greatly
from the stomach trouble and ner-
vousness, but what alarmed me most
was the sin ing feeling at the heart.
II had read about DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and when
some of my friends recommended the
pills very highly, 1 decided to give
them trial. l bought one box and
by the time this was used up the sink
ing spells had ceased. l felt better
but continued taking the pills until
had used ~ boxes. l still keep the
pills in the house for l believe that
they are splendid medicine. I
always recommend DR.. Williams
Pink Pills to my friends who are all
ing for l know that they will do all
that is claimed for them.
