DOINCS OF CONGRESS-
MT. Morgan Urges Amend ment to Philippine Tariff.
BILL TO INCREASE JUDGES SALARIES
MT. Hoar Thinks Supreme Court Jus tices Entitled to More Than $1O,OOO n Year-The Meas
 urc Opposed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-An extend ed speech on the pending Philippine tariff bill was delivered in the senate yesterday by MT. Morgan (Ala), who devoted particular attention to an amendment he offered to the bill last week. He maintained that the enact ment of the bill as it stands now would not be a constitutional remedy for the situation the measure is designed To relieve, but said with the adoption of his amendment the bill would stahd the closest scrutiny of the courts. The Alabama senator did not discuss the political phases of the Philippine ques- tion, deyoting his entire speech to consideration of the legal and constl- tutional questions raised by the pres entation of the tariff measure.
 An hour and half was devoted to consideration of bill to increase the salaries of judges of United States courts, but no action was taken.
 Mr. Hoar made brief statement in support of the measure He believed members of the judiciary of the United States were entitled to such salaries as would enable them to maintain suita- ble and proper positions.
 The Judicial salaries paid by the gov ernment were not equal to those paid by many of the great states of the Union to the judges of the state courts
 The justices of the United States su- preme court, he declared, could make ten times the amount of the salaries proposed in practice at the bar
 Mr Berry Dem, Ark.) opposed the measure He believed that $10,000 a year was enough to enable justices of the supreme court to live upon respect ably.
 He ventured the statement that many people thought the justices were not worth $1O.O00 year. They were receiving double the salaries of sena- tors and representatives i'll congress and had no right to complain.
 Mr Stewart (Rep., Nev.l made a strong plea for the enactment of the bill.
 The house prepared to defend itself against what it considered the threat ened invasion by the senate of it's prerogative i'll the matter of revenue legislation by directing the ways and 1 means committee to investigate the subject and report to the house it's con clusions The action of the house was the outgrowth Of the agitation i'll the senate of the claim that reciprocity treaties affecting the customs revenues can be negotiated without the concur renee of the honse.

IN RECEIVERS HANDS.
Dowfe's Lace Industry Gets set-
 back--Nfuch Trouble In Zion.

Dowie's Lace Industry Gets set-
 back-Much Trouble Nm Zion.
 CHICAGO, Feb. 1.--Judge Tuley has ordered q receivership for the Zion lace industries and Monday will enter a de cree appointing Elmer Washburn to the position of receiver under bond of $T0O,OOO
 The court in long decision on the case, which was instituted by Samuel Stevenson, brother-in-law of John Alexander Dowie, declared that Dow ie's church, the Christian Catholic church, was a curious mixture of reli- gion and business. He held that Ste venson had by undue influence exerted by Dowie as head Of the church been led to turn over to Dowie practically everything he had i'll the world and held that Stevenson was entitled to at least S100000 from Dowie or the lace industries, which, he said, were practi- calIy the same thing.
 Undue influence was the chief top ic discussed by the judge in his deci- sion. Dowie, he said. was unqueStion- ably the superior of Stevenson both in llllCllSNl dlil Du~1zlC5o dOllAlSr AJON1Ns he declared, was religious Zealot, Stevenson a follower. Stevenson, like others in Zion, followed Dowie blind ly. They believed him the agent of the Almighty on earth. destined to build up cities of Zion in every country in the world None was more influenced by the teachings Of the s'reincarnated Eliiah'' than Stevenson.

wine as Feed for Horses

yiticulturists in Trance have just tried experiments in feeding draught animals with bran mixed with wine, which seems to be successful. It ap- pears that poor wine can be used to replace oats as food, weight for weight. 3 pound of wine for a pound of oats. At least half of the usual feed of grain can be replaced in this manner without disadvantage to he animals. Barley, beans, bran and the like, mixed with wine, can be substi- tuted for oats entirely, if desired, it is said. Tn years of abundant vintage a material saving can be effected in this way.-N. |.

SOMETHING THAT WILL DO YOU
 GOOD.

We know of no way in which we can be of more service to our readers than to tell them of something that will be of real good to them. For this reason we want to acquaint them with what we consider one of the very best remedies on the market for coughs, colds, and that alarming complaint, croup. We refer to ChamberIain's Cough Remedy. We have used 1t with such good results in our family so long that it has become household neces- sity. By it's prompt use we haven't any doubt but that it has time and again prevented croup. The testimony is given upon our own experience, and we suggest that our readers, especially those who have small children, always keep 1t In their homes as a safeguard against croup. Camden (S. C.)

AS YOUNG AS YOU FEEL.


 People grow old by thinking them of 40, 50 or 60, they imagine that they look like others of the same age, and that they soon will be useless. unfit for work and unable to perform their wonted duties. As surely as they think this it will come true, for thought is creative. How many of us can say, with Job s'The thing which 1 greatly feared is come upon me"
 The tinie will come when children will not be allowed to celebrate their birthdays; when they will know that, by thinking themselves young, they will remain young, and that they will cease to grow old when they cease to believe in old age. The body is built up of beliefs, and our convictions are stamped upon every fiber of our beings. What we believe, what we think, that we are; so people who remain young in spirit never grow old.
 Not one of a hundred students, of whom the writer was one, under Oli- yer Wendell Holmes, at Harvard. ever thought of him as an old man. al. though he had then passed his SOth birthday His spirit was so young. and he was so bouyant. so fresh and full of life, that we always thought of him as one of ourselves. His vivacity and joyousness were contagious You could not be i'll his presence five min- utes without feeling brighter and bet ter for it. The genial doctor never practiced medicine. yet he did more to relieve human suffering than many practicing physicians. His presence was tonic: it was a perpetual delight to be near him.-Success for February.

A negro man went into MT E------s s office. for the purpose of instituting I divorce suit against his wife. Mir D. proceeded to question him as to his grounds for complaint. Noticing that the mans voice failed him, MT E--- looked up from his papers and saw that big tears were running down over the cheeks of the applicant for divorce.
 Why" said the lawyer, 'you seem to care great deal for your wife. Did you love her?"
 Love her, sir? jest analysed her!'
 This was more than the professional man could withstand, and MT E- laughed until the negro, offended, car ried his case elsewhere.
