The Coal Strike and Congress.

II see that some one has said that
the length OF the present session OF
Congress depends on whether or not the
coal strike Is ordered said Mr.. ]. c.
Sweeny, at the New willard. last night.
II don't know that the nation will come
to any grief through the effee. of
tie-up in the coal fields. though of
course strike is to be deplored for fear
of its distressing effects on the men
themselves
There is. l understand. only enough
coal in the Capitol to last until July 1.
If it gives out then, in spite of the
precautions and economy which will be
exercised. it's cinch that the legis-
lators will have to break up.
without coal, I don't see how the
restaurants will continue to serve the
toothsome luncheons which are as much
part of legislative daily life as points
of order and repartee, III the wants OF
the inner man are neglected at the Cap
itol. the wants of the nation which are
to be benefited by legislation will suffer
also. OF course. there are some men,
bers who declare that they can subsist
on those articles which call mostly
for cracked ice and fuel which comes in
bottles.
And then, too. the elevators will
stop. Now, that will be the straw to
break the camers back. and the alb
sence of this easy and rapid method OF
ascent will have almost q similar effect
on the backs of Senators and Repre-
sentatives. Just estimate how long
Senators Hanna. Mason. Scott and
few others will stand for climbing the
long fights of marble stairs, and you
can tell just about Row long the session
Will last -

Who knew no pulling fears.
We deck with natures treasures

The shadows creep
Athwart the sky. The day is past;
Those dreaming meath the sod
Ne'crmore in blue cuirassed-

REMEMBRANCE.
By JOHN A. JOYCE.

The Nation with uncovered head
Pays tribute to her loyal dead.
And kneeling in these Maytime hours
BesiIews their graves with votive flowers.
While ages come and ages 90.
And oceans roll and rivers flow,
Columbia in her onward flight
Shall cherish those who fell for right.
They died on valley, hill. and erag
Defending yonder starry flag,
While all the people rule today
And love alike the Blue and Gray,
Whose machless valor was sublime
Immortal down the tides OF time.
And still the Union, Ike rock.
Shall triumph over every shock:
With love and peace and outstrctched hands
We offer homes TO foreign lands,
Inviting all from mount and sea
To share our work and destiny,

IF YOU ARE CONSCIOUS OF FAILING STRENGTH AND
 ENERGY THIS MONTH
 MAKE USE OF Paine'SCelerV Compound
No Other Medicine Can Quar-
 antee Such Happy Results.

Men and women, young and old. of every rank in life. freely admit that they are more conscious of overtaxed nervous strength in the hot weather than at any other season.
 When such a condition is experienced, Paine's Celery Compound affords advan- tages and results that no other remedy can offer with honesty. It vigorously cleanses the blood and regulates the tar dy circulation. It strengthens and en- courages the kidneys and enables them to filter from the blood all waste and nor bid matters; it secures strong, firm nerves, gives sweet and natural sleep to the nerve-tired and brain weary. In q word, Paines Celery Compound is a true summer life giver and health builder. MT. E. M Stephenson, of the American Baptist Publication. Society, IF Wabash Ave, Chicago H., says
 II used Paines Celery Compound for an acute attack of nervous prostration at a time when l had a large number of engagements ahead. I took 1t according to directions, and kept on till two bottles had been used All trembling. throbbng, and vertigo disappeared the first week. I kept on with my engagements after that week and gained all the time. From the start my appetite improved, and l weight. The Comp 2uud strengthened my voice also preventing wea-iness in speaking and singing. very noticeable effect was the strengthening of the eyes, making it easy to read on the trains"

 H. s. Cantwill was the real name of Ricci. He was suffering from a severe cold when he c&.ne to Montgomery Sum day of last week and the night work in the open air theatre at Bloemfontaine Park augmented the ailment. He was feverish all of Saturday and was unable to go to the park Saturday night. His wife and friends thought that he was only temporarily indisposed. About Z o'clock Sunday morning Riccfs condition became worse and he lost consciousness. He died at 3:15 o'clock.
 The swiftness with which death came to the actor in a strange land benumbed Mrs. Ricci and a physician had to be called in to satisfy her that her hus- band had passed away.
 Ricci was a member of Calumet Tribe, No. 5S, Improved Order of Red Men at Louisville, Ky, and Montgomery Red Men took charge of the body.
 The deceased was 33 years old and had been on the stage for some time. His speciality was legitimate Irish comedy and he had before taking up vaudeville, done star work in repertoire company which he himself managed.
