GOOD WORK,
Proper Food Makes Marvellous
Changes.

Providence is sometimes credited
with directing the footsteps by so SIM
pie a way as the reading of a food adj
vertisement.

condition, irritable, with a duh heavy
headache continually, had no appetite
and could not digest anything if tried.

and was, of course, unfit for my work.
Some said had consumption, others
said dropsy. One day as II by provi-
whose symptoms were much the same
as mine, and she told of how Grape
Nuts Breakfast Food had cured her, 50

and began with Grape Nuts, a little
fruit and cup of Postum Food Coffee.

nouncement-Mlss Alice Is Expect
ed From Cuba In Time to Accom-
pany Her FRther-There Will BE
Quite "a Large Party, Including At
torney General and Mrs. Knox,
Secretary and Miss Hitchcock,
Secretary and Miss Wilson, secre-
tary and Mrs. COrteIxOu and Pro-
badly other Cabinet People.
Washington, d. c.. March 12.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt to-day authorized the
statement that he proposes to visit the

upon after correspondence with the
people of Charleston, and preparations
will go forward with that date in view
1t is also announced that Miss Alice
Roosevelt will have, by that time. re-
turned from her visit to Cuba, so that
she will be a member of the presiden-
tial party as originally intended. In
addition to the President, Mrs. Roose-

Secretary and Miss Hitchcock. Secre-
tary and Miss Wilson, Secretary and
Mrs. Cortelyou. and several other
members of the cabinet circle, expect
to be added to the party before the
final arrangements for the trip are
completed. 1t is said that it was the
Presidents firm intention to make the
trip the last week of the present month.
but at the suggestion from various
sources that the dates fixed would fall
during Holy Week. 1t was concluded
to defer the trip until the second week
in April. OF course the Charles
ton;ans would have preferred to have
the presidential party make the visit as
early as possible. but the delegation
from Charleston volunteered to con-
suit the convenience of the President
both as to the date of the trip and
the arrangements of the programme
for entertainment while at Charleston.
1t is understood the trip going and
coming. including the stay in Charles
ton, will occupy four days.

DEPEW ON SHIP SUBSIDY.
He Makes N SpeciOus Argument to
show That American Shipyards
Are Not PROSPEROUS


Washington, March 12l-Again to-
day the ship subsidy bill occupied
, practically the entire time of the SEN
ate. Two speeches were delivered in
support of the measure. Mr.. McCum-
Der, North Dakota, presented a care
fully prepared argument favoring the
bill as a representative of an agri-
cultural state on the ground of its
protective features.
Mr.. Depew of New York, one of the
members of the Committee on Com
merce, delivered an elaborate speech.
in which he analysed the arguments
both for and against the proposition to
pay subsidies to the shipping indus
try.
Mr.. Depew presented figures to
show that the arguments of the OPP
ponents of the bill as to the prosper
ity of American ship yards were not
well founded. He declared that YES
sells aggregating $1,000 tons had been
constructed in American shipyards for
the foreign trade during the past ten
years. while in Great Britain during
one year-the last year available in
statistics-1, 100000 tons of ships had
been constructed.
Mr.. Bacon of Georgia suggested that
in order to be fair and accurate the
figures of the American construction
ought to include the vessels built for
the United States coastwise trade.
These figures Mr.. Depew did not give,
but claimed they would add not very
materially to the total.
Referring incidentally TO the present
situation in New York, Mr.. Depew said
one of the greatest handicaps to the
National Democracy had been Tam
many. He said great hope had been
built upon the fact that brilliant and
cultivated gentleman had recently been
placed at the head of the Tammany or
ganization. This was Lewis Nixon, an
American shiDbuilder.
Mr.. Depew then quoted from a paper
read by Mr.. Nixon in which he had
said. that when the United States was
in position to build several hundred
merchant ships every year. this coun-
try would be able to compete with for
eign shipyards. Until such a demand
was presented the United States would
be unable to successfully compete with
ship construction in foreign yards.
The New York Senator said he did
not know whether ]. Pierpont Morgan
had purchased the Leyland line of
ships or not, but if he had it was be-
cause the line could be operated at a
profit. He did not know that even If
the line had been purchased by Mr..
Morgan he had expressed no intention
of bringing the vessels under the Amer
lean flag, and giving them an American
register.

TRYING TO GET TOGETHER.
Republicans May Agree to Give
Cuba Reciprocity for One Year

Republicans May Agree to Give
Cuba Reciprocity for One Year
Only.
have been made for the compromise of
the conflict over tariff concessions 10
Cuba, and there are evidences that the
two elements will come together, pro-
badly on a proposition to have the 20
per cent. reciprocal reduction apply for
one year from next December and
covering one sugar crop.
Prominent members of the Ways and
Means Committee who have thus far
led the contest for Cuban reciprocity
have signified a willingness to accept
this compromise proposition.
The overtures of compromise are to
be considered by three Republicans
from each side, namely: For the Ways
and Means, Chairman Payne, Repre-
sentatives Dalzell and Cannon; for the
opposition to the Ways and Means
Committee, Representatives Dick of
Ohio. Fordney of Michigan and Morris
of Minnesota.
Soon after the overtures of compro-
mise were made the leaders of the ele-
ment opposed to the Ways and Means
Committee called a conference. The
sentiment was rather unfavorable to
accepting the plan of 20 per cent. re-
duction for one year from next Deem
Der, and some of those present were
favorable to rejecting the plan. But
it was urged against this course that
so long as overtures for
good faith, 1t was only proper to meet
the committee representing the Ways
and Means. IL was, therefore, decided
by vote to name a committee to meet
Messrs. Payne. DalzeH and Cannon.
Later Mr.. Payne and his associates
were formally advised that they would
be met by a committee from the other
side. As there was a desire to con-
suit the wishes of all those co-operat-
ing with the opposition forces, a call
was issued to meet at p. m. to-mor-
row. at which time final plans will be
made.
During the meeting the statement
was made that one of the beet sugar
advocates had been assured by
representatives of the Ways and
Means Committee that the plan
Of compromise would not cover this
years sugar crop and would apply
only to the crop of next year. harvested
prior TO December. 1903. Some doubt
existed. however, as to these assur-l
ances, and it was considered quite vital
to learn with definiteness whether the
20 per cent. reduction would apply to
two crops or to one.
1t was stated afterward by Ways and
Means Committee members that the
compromise plan would affect two
hot of -
lowing 20 per cent. off on each. There
was no purpose, II was stated. to limit
the reduction to a single crop. This
matter will probably be left to the arbf-
trating committee with the indications
that the beet sugar eonferees win in
sist on limiting the reduction TO one
crop, that of next year, and with that
Limitation Will be inclined 10 aeesre the

dom.
The discussions are simply recon-
mandatory. no legislative action being
taken on any subject.

MUCH TALK OF CHLoRoFoRM.
Experiments Made by Physicians Do
Not Bear Ont Valet Jones' Test
n.Ony.


New York, March 12.-Dr. John H.
Girdner was on the witness stand
/ again to-day in the trial of Albert T.
Patrick, indicted on the charge that he
murdered William M. Rice. Assistant
Attorney Osborne handed a hottie of
chlcroform, a towel and sponge to the
| witness and asked him 10 saturate the
towel and sponge with chloroform, let
them stand half an hour and then put
a match to them. Charles +. Jones
testified that he burned the chloroforrn-
saturated towel with which he said he
killed Mr.. Rice, after ii had been on
M. Rices face for half an hour. The
defense objected and asked that two
physicians, one for the prosecution and
one for the Defense make the expert
ment with materials purchased by
themselves. This was agreed to.
The recorder directed that the ex-
pertinent be made at the noon recess.
DR.. Girdner was excused and the de-
Tense called DIR. Isaac N. Love. DR..
Love said that in his opinion inhala-
ton of chloroform vapor would not
cause any congestion of the lungs.
In reply to question reciting the
evidence in the case and asking his
opinion as to the cause of Mr.. Rices
death, DR.. Love replied:
"Old age, oedema and congestion OF
the lungs, crippled kidneys, a narrow
ing of the heart orifices and disease of
the entire man."
Gould the symptoms as described
and revealed by the autopsy have re-
suited from the inhalation of chloro-
form vapcr?" asked Mr.. Moore of Pat
rick's counsel.
They could not" replied DIR. Love.
DR.. Girdner was recalled. He said
the experiments with the towels
soaked in chloroform had been finish
ed. The first towel blazed for nine
minutes. smoldered for fifty-one min
utes and then went out. The second
one burned slowly for fifteen minutes
and smoldered fifty-four minutes.
One third of the material was con-
sumed by the blaze in the first test
and one-fourth in the second one. The
sponges used resisted the action OF
the fire better than the cotton mater
ial of the towel.
Assistant District Attorney Osborne
produced a false beard and mustache
mounted on wires, and asked an oppor-
tunity to pour an ounce of chloroform
on it and hang il by an open window
to prove that the odor of the drug
would not remain en- the beard for an
hour as DIR. Curry. Mr.. Rice's physi-
elan. said It would The recorder
would not agree to this and court was
adjourned.

Norfolk. Va, March 12.-The cars of
the Norfolk Railway and Light Com
panv continued to run to-day without
military guards, and no violence re-
suited. Eight companies of the Seven
ty-first Infantry will be retained in
Norfolk until all danger of trouble has
disappeared. Meantime four of the
commands from nearby points have
been relieved from duty.
The cars were run to-day without
the usual guard, although two soldiers
were placed on each car to- night. Sew
eral rock battles were carried on aft
er shutdown and numbers of car win
dows were broken. One non-union
conductor, at 8 o'clock tonight, while
on car, took a revolver from his
pocket and fired it down the street. No
one was hit.
The officials of the Norfolk Railway
and Light Company refuse to treat
with the strikers further. They claim
they submitted the matter to a COM
mittee of arbitration and that they
were willing to and intended to abide
by the decision of the committee. They
have nearly enough men to keep up
the regular schedules and only few
more will be needed.
