WHEN AT DEATHS DOOR
He Laid Aside All Other Medicine
 and Swamp-Root Cured Him.


 and swamp-Root Cured Him.
 The following testimonial from MT. c. T. Smith of Arrowood Ga, is as strong as the English language can make it. He suffered so from uremic blood poison that his wrists and ankles were swollen to three or four times their normal size. For months he could not wear his shoes. Two eminent phyicians treated him. but gave up his case as hopeless. Yet he was entirely cured by the use of Swamp-Root. See what he writes to The Advertiser: "On the 12th day of May was taken with rheuma tism. which developed into uremic blood poison. My wrists and an- kles were swollen to three or four times their normal size where I laid racked with the most awful pain and suffering. I was being treated by two eminent phy- sicians (whom I knew to be the bestl, but my case was, as my friends all said, hopeless. At last I knew the end was not far off unless relief was at hand and as my brother had insisted on my taking Swamp Root, my wife bought small bottle at the drug store and after the first day found a change for the better. | continued the Swamp Root alone by the advice of my physicians, and in all took twelve bottles. when l laid aside my crutches and found myself a well man. I did not have on my shoes from the l2th of May until the 22nd of September. The reason I am so positive Swamp-Root cured me is that I laid aside all other medicine when at the worst and toek only the Swamp Root.

Catches the Slightest Sound.

This disquieting result has hsen achieved by the combination of a mil crophona which catches and records the slightest sound even from a con- siderable distance, and a telephone to which the impression is transmitted automatically and instantaneously, to be by it repeated distinctly and loudly so that it is heard all over the distant room in which the circuit making but ton is pressed. Not only can it be heard all over the room, but the person using it can speak through it wherever he may happen to be-he has no need to hold the tubes. once connection is made he can talk freely, moving about the place or sitting smoking in his armchair, hearing everything that he said at the othe" end and making reply with the same entire liberty of move ment as if he had his fellow conver- sationalist in his office with him. The principle which enables the talker to dispense with the tubes is. of course, very similar to that of Marconis wire less telegraphy This silent, incorrdp- tible, lnfallible spy is already being em- ployed i1 police work (for other pur- poses than it was put to by the Lyons masnate) and it will soon be applied also to the less sensational purpose of making operas and plays sermons end other public discourses accessible 70 an audience scattered far and wide, ;'s Bellamy prophecied.

Days.

The following list shows the duration of the longest day in various places all over the world: New York has. so to say, the shortest longest day, which is about l5 hours long; while in Montreal it is 16. London an1 Bremen each bask in a 16 1-2 hours length of day, close ly followed by Hamburg and Dantzig, with 50 minutes more. The longest day in Stockholm lasts IS 1-2 hours; but both St. Petersburg and Tobolsk, Siberia. go one better with a day of exactly 19 hours-and their shortest 5 hours. June 2l brings to Tornea, Fin land, summer day nearly 22 hours long-and Christmas day ? 1-2 hours only. The foregoing lengthy days, owever, are easily left behind by Wardburg Norway which boasts of day lasting without break from May T to July 22; but even this is surpass- ed by Spitzbergen, where the longest day is something like 1-2 months. This is practically so at Cape Nome, in our Alaskan territory.

An Agent of Crime.

It was as an agent of crime that the invention never intended for such a purpose, first came to public notice. A high police official of Lyons was arrest ed on charges of misuse of the public funds. naladministration of his office, blackmail and extortion. The devel- opment of the case brought out the fact that he had, in some way. possessed himself of information regarding mu- nicipal affairs which should have been strictly confined to vew few officials, one of them the Prefect of Police. whose office was in the same building. This information he had used for blackmail in some cases; in others he had s5id 1t to contractors to whose interett it was to have a spy at the center of af- fairs In more than one instance it was proved that he had overheard and made use of conversation held in the Prefect's private office, between the Prefect and person whose interests were jeepardized by the revelation of the matter.

NO EXTRA SESSION LIKELY
THE SPOONER ACT CAN COVER
PHILIPPINE AFFAIRS.
The Administration Can Proceed Until
Congress Reassembles Next
Winter.

In some quarters 1t is suggested that the
action Of the Supreme Court on the insular
cases may result in an extra session of
Congress to legislate with reference to
the Philippines. The more common opinion
appears to be, however, that there will
be no necessity for Congress to be
meeting. The application of the opinion
of the court to the Philippines is
only by inference, inasmuch as the Phil
ippine case was not decided. How far the
special provisions of the treaty with ref
erence to the Philippines and the enact
ment by Congress known as the Spooner
act may lead the court to differentiate be-
tween these islands and Porto Rico in the
application Of the general principle upon
which the collection of duties under the
Dingley act was invalidated cannot be de-
termined with certainty from the reading
of the opinions with reference to Porto
Rico. and 1t is doubted whether the ad-
ministration would be warranted In the ap-
plication to the Philippines before it is
distinctly avowed by the court
There is recognized possib ity that the
Spooner act giving general authority to the
President may be broad enough to admit of
the making of tariff regulations
Representative Curtis of Kansas said to-
day that, while he had not read the Spoon
er act since the decision of the court with
a view of considering how broad its pro-
visions might be, he was under the impress
sion that it was sufficient to meet the stu
alton. He said that he did not think there
would be any occasion for an extra session
OF Congress In any event, as the admins
tration could proceed under it's own appli-
cation of the court action until Congress
was ready to legislate further as to the
Philippines or until the Supreme Court had
rendered as decision on the Philippine case

WILL CONTINUE THE TARIFF
GOODS FROM THE PHILIPPINES TO
PAY DUTIES.
About $4,000, 600 to BE Refunded on
Porto Rican ImpOrts-Assistant
Secretary Spauldfng's View.

In an interview with a Star reporter to-
day, Gen. Spauldng, assistant secretary of
the treasury, in charge Of customs matters
said that the decision of the Supreme Court
as to Porto Rico would result in the treas
ury paying out something like 81 000, 900 OIL
duties collected He said:
1.-THE Treasury Department will refund
what duties were collected under the Ding
ley law between the dates of the ratifica-
tion Of the treaty, April IL, 1899, and the
taking effect Of the Foraker law, May l.,
1900. While 1 am not in possession of the
actual amount to be refunded, believe that
the figures will be in the neighborhood of
$2,OOOO0O. The money can be refunded
without any special act of Congress. The
process will be for claimants who have
protested against the collection of duties to
ask that certified statements for refund be
forwarded by the customs officers to the
Secretary of the Treasury for authorize
ton
The treasury has not decided what will
be the standing of those who paid the duties
without protest to collectors of customs
This matter will be investigated here
after.
When General Spaulding was asked
whether the treasury will stop the collec-
ton of duties on goods from the Philip
pines owing to the decision as to Porto
ttlco, ne SAID: Inc department Will go on
collecting duties on imports from the Phil
ippines it has been doing until the
courts shall say that we are wrong, or
Congress shall legislate. The decision as to
Porto Rico in no way affects the Philip
pines. We have probably not collected as
much from the Philippines so far as we
did from Porto Rico, although we will have
the exact figures in short time"
All goods from the Philippines pay the
Dingley tariff rates. If the court does not
render decision touching this between
now and December Congress is expected to
promptly take the matter up and legislate
on tariff rates from the Philippines.
