RIGHT up TO DATE.
(BsnSon's Plaster is Pains Master,)

These are days of records and of the beat
ing of records. Benson's Porous Plaster, for
quickness of action and thoroughness of
cure, has no records to beat except its own.
Benson's Plaster, always the best, always
the leader, is to-day better hia1, ever. It
sticks to the skin but never sticks in its
tracks. It marches on.
The people not only want to be cured
but cured quickly-and Benson's Plaster
does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills approachable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as ice does to heat.
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or
Capsicum plasters are to be compared with
Benson's. People who have once tested
the merits of Benson's Plaster have no use
for any other external remedy.
More than 5000 physicians and drug
gists (and thousand times as many non
professional persons) have called Benson's
Plasters one of the few % home remedies
that can be trusted.
Fifty-fve highest awards have been made
to it in competition with tho best known
plasters of Europe and America. Better
proof of its merits is inconceivable. Be
sure to get the genuine.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States, on receipt of Csc. each.

Philippine Commission Prohibits Re.
ligious instruction In Schools.
Manila, Jan. 22.-The act ostab-
fishing the department of public in
struction was unanimously passed by
the Philippine commission after a de-
bate between Commissioner Moses
and Judge Taft over the section per-
mitting religious instruction in school
houses.
The commissioners, originally, were
unanimously in favor of the section,
but Commissioner Moses became con-
vinced it was not wise and he offered
an amendment prohibiting the teach
ing of religious doctrines in school
buildings. He declared the commits
sion would disregard it's instructions
concerning the separation of church
and state If the questionable provis-
ion" was enacted. The commission
er characterized as groundless the
fears that Catholics would not attend
public schools unless religious in
struction was permitted. He sail the
experience with Philippine schools
had already demonstrated this.
Referring to arguments of the Cen
trail Catholics in favor of Catholic
instructors exclusively, Commissioner
Moses insisted that compromise was
inadvisable when one of the parties
were predisposed against a compro-
mise.
Judge Taft offered a substitute per-
mitting teaching thrice weekly by
priests and ministers to pupils whose
parents desired that their children re-
ceive such instruction and prescrih.
ing the dismissal of teachers who at
tempt to influence pupils religiously
and the suspension of the privilege
of priests and ministers whose teach.
.ings create disloyalty or disorder.
Commissioner Ide voted with
Commissioner Moses against Judge
Taft on the substitute. explaining that
he questioned whether the substitute
would accomplish the purpose sought.

and after summoning Judge Dixon and
the prisoners filed into the courtroom.
The prisoners appeared very nervons.
McAlister seemed more excited than
any of the others. He sat biting his
lips while waiting. Campbell thrust
his hands into his trousers pockets
and clinched his fists in them. Death
looked anxiouslv about the courtroom
for moment and then assumed the
same attitude as Campbell. When the
verdict was announced the prisoners
evinced neither elation nor relief.
Judge Dixon thanked the jury and
said he believed the verdict a just
one and then dismissed the Jurors.

LONDON HEARS THE NEWS.
Queens Death BuiIetined Just at the

Queens Death BuiIetined Just at the
Close Of Day.
London, Jan. 23.-A scrap of paper
foot square, posted on the wall Of
the Mansion House at 6:5S o'clock,
gave the first notice to London's
homeward hurrying thousands of the
death Of the empress-queen and the
advent of king. Access to the bull
letin was difficult by reason of the
fact that excavations had been made
in the course of work Of improving
the street. But the barred heads of a
silent group under Pickering gas jet
told the crowds on the bus tops and
sidewalks that the queen was no
more.
An hour later more than thousand
newsboys had invaded the streets
with black-ruled newspapers, crying
death of the Quesn," while through
the dark streets doomed the deep
toned notes Of the big bell of St.
Paul's cathedral and the bells of the
city churches re-echoing the news.
Mr.. Balfour's message announcing
the queens death says her majesty
died peacefully.
All the theaters and places of enter.
tainment, it is announced, will be
closed indefinitely.
There is little doubt that the funer-
hl of Queen Victoria will take place
at Frogmore. though nothing in re-
gard to this has yet been announced.
Her majesty was so closely related
to the European courts, big and little,
that the gathering of royalty at the
obsequies will be unprecedented.
The news Of the queens death
reached al the towns in the kingdom
a few minutes after it had been re-
ceived by the lord mayor Of London
and was quickly spread throughout
the country districts by the tolling of
bells.
