house passed the bill to reduce toe du-
ties on products of the Philippines COM
ing into the United States from IS per

panied by considerable maneuvering on
the Democratic side to secure test votes
on the various amendments designed to
lower the tariff barrier still further,
and record vote was forced on mo-
ton to recommit with instructions to

Worst Ever Known.

ever known. 1t is believed that consid-

hardship which has been accumulated
by the days storm. which has made it
impossible TO deliver coal in the city.

MILLIONS A YEAR
INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF MONEY
LOSTBYTHE WORKING CLASSES.
An Interview With George ". Hammond,
of Tacoma, WASH, a Man Who
Talks from Experience.

The money lost annually by skilled
workmen of all occupations figures UP
to millions of dollars and is becoming
greater every year. This amount OF
money represents mainly time lost and
the serious effect upon the social COM
fort of the workingmen and their fam
lilies is evident. Mr.. George V. Ham
mond, of Tacoma, Wash, said the
other day:
81 have lost my share of time but ]
am thankful to say that have not been
losing any of late"
''You don't look as if you had lost
much through sickness"
ono, and don't feel So But the
fact remains that l was a very sick
man. took cold along in 1889 and
rheumatism settled in my arms and
shoulders. l suffered for three years
and nothing relieved me until in April
1892, upon the recommendation Of my
sister, began the use of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and found
relief in the second box. / took five
boxes in all and now am entirely cured
and have had no occasion to use them
since"
Mr.. Hammond resides at No. 610
N. Steele street, Tacoma, Wash, and
at the request of the reporter made aft
davit to his above statement before
James H. Dege, notary public, on
July 5, 1901.
There is popular idea that rheuma-
tism is caused by exposure to cold and
that some localities are infected with
it more than others. Such conditions
| frequently promote the development OF
the disease, but, from the fact that
rheumatism runs in certain families
it is shown to be HEREDITARY and, con-
sequently disease of the blood.
Frequently an individual, in whose
family rheumatism has not occurred
develops the disease, and when dag
nosis of the case is made, it is general
| ly found that the ailment is due to q
arrangement of the blood.
External applications may afford tenn
porary relief, but to cure the disease il
is necessary to treat it through the
blood.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People go directly to the seat of the dis
order, purifying and enriching the
blood by eliminating poisonous ele-
ments and renewing health giving
forces. They are a positive specific
not only for rheumatism, but for such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, St. Vitus dance, sciatica, neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache
the after effects of grip or fevers, and of
other acute diseases, palpitation of the
heart, pale and sallow compilations and
all forms of weakness, either in male OF
female. DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People are sold by all dealers OF

HISTORY or GOLD SUPPLY.

Two Periods in. the Past Compared to
the Present One.
There are only two periods In the bis
tory of the money metals that can lie
compared to the present. and to which
we may look for any experimental
light upon the subject One of these
was the period following the discovery
of America and the exploitation Of the
treasures of Mexico and Peru. and the
other the period following the discoy
cries in California and Australia.
In the period of $50 years following
the discovery of America the deprecia-
ton of the metals was about two-thirds
of their value; that is, in 1850 a given
amount of gold or silver bought only
about one-third as much as in 1900. The
result, naturally, was extreme confu-
sion in affairs. great suffering among
wage-earners, ard embarrassment to
all whose incomes were fixed In terms
of money.
The poor laws" of Queen Ellzabeth's
time have been attributed to the dis
tress caused by the rise OF food without
equivalent compensation to the wage
earning class. The quarrel Of Charles
|. with parliament was undoubtedly
aggravated by the necessity for new
taxes to overcome the declining value
of the revenues; and some historians
hold that it was the deadly money
question, the bane of politicians in all
ages, that cost him his head.
Gold was discovered in California in
1S4S, and in Australia In 1851: and by
1852 these new fields were producing
together over $10O.0OO.OOO a year. The
first sign of the influx of the new gold
into Europe was seen in the holdings
of the Bank of England. They went up
from about $40,00O00O in 1S47 to $11O.-
100000 in June, 1853. To get this idle
money into use the bank reduced it's
regular rate of discount to 2 per cent;
and the market rate. for considerable
time, was reported at III per cent. The
belief that the new supplies of gold
would effect permanent reduction of
the rate of interest was so general that
Mr.. Gladstone, then chancellor of the
exchequer, proposed in parliament
scheme to refund the consols below 8
per cent and fixed the rate on ex-
chequer bills at ~ per cent.-North

the eastbound passenger was pulling into
the depot special eastbound freight ran
into the passenger, striking two sleeping
cars and knocking them off the track,
one sleeper being driven almost on to the
platform. The freight engine was slightly
injured. The strange part of the accident
was that no one was injured.
Both trains we're coming into the Logan
depot on almost parallel lines, but fortu-
nately both were running slowly. The en-
gineer of the freight train claimed the .,ir
brakes would not work properly. With
the exception of the two sleepers being
rather badly smashed and some slight
damage to the freight engine, little harm
was done.

Ground Suddenly Sinks.

A novel condition in railroad engi-

sinking of the roadbed on the Monon
railway, in Lake county, Illinois.
About 800 feet of bed settled, and in a
little over two months the depression
had reached an estimated depth Of 100
feet. For months the company has

been dumped IN it. The bottom
seems to have been reached. Elk

caused the phenomenon.

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-

merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh remedy
are pouring in from every state in the

dreds of such letters daily. All classes
write these letters, from the highest to
the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-

ru-na is the catarrh remedy of the age.
The stage and rostrum, recognizing
catarrh as their greatest enemy, are

Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only
absolute safeguard known. A cold is
