THE SUBSIDY MEASURE
The Senate Will Continue to Wrestle
With It This Week.
SPECIAL SPEECHES ARE PROMISED
Allison May Inject Appropriation Bills
for Senate's Consideration Wednesday
and HOuse Will Have Them Up All
Week-The House.

WASHINGTON Feb. 4-The senate
will continue its discussion of the ship
subsidy bill during the first half of the
present weeA, with probable Interrupt
tions during the morning hour Of each
day. There probably will be a move
ment to secure night sessions on the
part of the friends Of the shipping
bill Monday or Tuesday and other
strenuous efforts will be made to Sc
cure a vote upon the bill.
If it should appear probable that the
end of the discussion Is still not in
sight Senator Allison on Wednesday
will ask the senate to take up the bill
making appropriations for the District
of Columbia for the next fiscal year.
This appropriation bill will be debated
for several days and when its consid-
Grafton is concluded there will be other
appropriation bills requiring attention.
The earlier part of the day Monday
will be given to the ceremonies in
honor of the memory Of Chief Justice
Marshall and Senator Bacon has given
notice that he will ask the attention
Of the senate to some remarks of his
upon the resolution introduced by him
self declaring the right of the senate
to demand and receive all papers on file
in the executive departments. He will
speak at length upon that question and
if he should conclude during the day
he will be followed by one of several
extended speeches on the subsidy bill,
which are still in reserve. Senator
Teller is counted on for another
speech, and in case of night session
Monday night probably would under
take to speak the session out. 1t is ex-
pected that Senator Caffery will talk
Tuesday.
The democrats do not hesitate to say
that in case night sessions are ordered
they will demand that quorum shall
be maintained. On Saturday eulogies
will be delivered in honor of the late
Representative HarD1er of Pennsyl-
yania
The house will continue the consid-
Grafton of appropriation bills this
week. The postoff1ce appropriation
bill is not yet completed. 1t will be
followed by the consular and diplo-
matte and the sundry civil biils, which
last will be reported to the house
tomorrow.
The bills to promote the efficiency
Of the revenue cutter service and to es-
tablish national standardizing bureau
and conference reports will consume
whatever time remains.
Tomorrow the exercises in connec-
ticn with the celebration of the CEN
tennial anniversary of John MarshalPs
appointment as chief justice of the
United States viii be held in the house
of representatives from 10 to L o'clock.

Mrs. Carrie Nation, the Lint s4nasher.

in Wesleyan Method st church in the
forenoon, in the Christian church in
the afternoon, and in the Lowman Hill
Methodist church in the evening.
A recruiting Office for the Topeka
tons army, has been opened. Three
hundred soldiers have signed the
roll, mostly women. The program for
the defenders is to march down Kan
sas avenue at p. m, tomorrow, with
drums and flags flying, and hold pray
er meetings in front Of every JOINT.
Mrs. Nation says that it was the in
tention of the home defenders to

ure of the crusade may be postponed
for few days to enable secret service
agents to inquire into the story that
armed men are guarding the joints.
Mrs. Nation says she does not mind
shotgun, but she does not want to
lead other women to their death.

tion receives more mail than any

Mary e. Poole, of Whiting, Ind.
Whiting, Ind, Feb. 4, 19O1.-(Spe-
cial. 1.-The Presidents of the Ladies or
the Grand Army of the Republic have
an association composed exclusively
of the Presidents of the different State
Associations. This Presidents Asso-
citation chooses a President, and to this
very high and distinguished position
Mrs. Mary E. Poole of this place has
been elected. Mrs. Poole is thoroughly
deserving of this great honor. Her
devotion to the interests OF the Asso-
citation is very marked, and her expert
ence with the old soldiers Of the G. A.
r. is wide. Mrs. Poole is never slow
to take advantage of anything that
may benefit the veterans, and her zeal
has resulted in much that is good to
these grand old men. She writes or
her experiences: Honor to whom
honor is due, and having seen the nu-
merOus cures effected through the use
of Dodd's Kidney Pills, l gladly en-
dorse them as being particularly ef-
fective to cure that dreaded disease OF
so many of our old soldiers, Bright's
Disease and Kidney Disorders Of diff
ferent kinds. Kidney Disease soon
poisons the entire system, and as re-
suit the vital organs are attacked, and
1 have found that no remedy so surely,
completely and quickly finds the weak
spot and heals it as Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
II have used them myself in slight
attacks of biliousness and Indigestion,
and usually find that from three TO
four pills do the work"
Such evidence from a lady Of so
much distinction and experience
should convince any sufferer from Kid
ney Trouble that Dodd's Kidney Pills
is the remedy that never fails. soc a

NEGRO GRABBED ASSASSIN.

J. y. Parker Tells How He Tackled
Asa who Shot tie President.
J. II. Parker. who grabbed President
McKinley's assassin about the neck
with a strangle hold. preventing the
firing Of o third shot, is a negro who
lives in New York city. He was born
In Atlanta, Ca, forty-four years ago
In slavery. .f .tt
He went to the Pan-American exposi-
ton to take a place as waiter in the
Bailey restaurant. He lives at 223
Clinton street, Buffalo, while at work
at the exposition. He is a giant in size,
standing six feet, erect as an Indian,
has very regular features and is light
In color. The assassin tore his vest
buttons entirely off in the struggle.
Parker said to reporter of the New
York Journal:
ITS the very best days work I ever
did. If had not grabbed that crazy
loon, he would have shot again. l got
q strange hold on his neck that
learned down south. Just think, old
Father Abe freed me, and now l saved
his successor from death, provided that
bullet that he got into the president
don't kill him.
Eyes, live In New York, but never
had chance before to shake any pres
dents hand. l stood in line waiting
my turn. A lady was ahead of me.
and behind was a fellow with light
hair about feet 8 inches tall. He had
a cap In his left hand and handker-
chief in right hand. He was right in
front of me, and had good chance
to look at him as we walked slowly
down the line.
HE did not seem nervous as recall
It, but he kept glazing at the president
all the while In funny kind of way.
! was not watching him when we got
to the president, but was looking at
the president. Suddenly heard two
sharp reports, the handkerchief on the
mans hand burst into blaze, and the
fellow raised his smoking pistol to
shoot again, aiming this time at the
presidents heart.
ut seemed to me my own heart was
in my mouth. but gave jump, threw
my left arm around the man and knock
ed his hand down. Then the detectives
and myself dragged him into side
room and threw him on a table and
searched him.
1.-THE president turned shade pale
and sat down on bench. My clothes
were half torn off me. but thank the
good Lord l did what could to save
the successor of the man who freed my
people. l shall stay right here, work
ing as waiter"
