In memory Of our dear brother,
GARDNER L. HYDE,
Aged 6S, who died July 3Oth, 1902.
Dear brother, thou has left us,
And thy loss we deeply feel
He was kind, cheefy-hearted man,
Loved by all vino knew him.
Ready to give helping hand
In every time Of need.
Dearest brother, thy work is ended,
Forgiveness andl0ve In thy conduct were blend
ed;
Thy hand to the needy was ever extended;
Greatly beloved by all whom he knew,
All things for the suffering he was willing to do
Dearest brother, thou has left us,
We can no more clasp thy hand,
But we know thou art sleeping,
Waiting for the better land.
But, though death the chain has broken,
And thy face no more we see,
And though years roll slowly onward,
Forgotten thou wilt never be.
Dearest brother, we shall miss thee,
No more thy voice we hear,
But though gone we still shall bless thee
For to us thou was most dear.
He has gone from this weary world OF care
OF sorrow, and of pain;
To sleep that knows no waking,
TILL Jesus comes again.

DEAD MANS FATBER TEsTIFIEs.
His Evidence Makes it ook Dark For Florence
Burns.

(by the ASSOCldleu TIeSS.J
New York. March 1S.-The hearing in
the case of Florence Burns, accused of
the murder of Walter s. Brooks, was
continued today before Justice Mayer.
Brooks died in a hospital to which he
was taken after he had been found un-
conscious in a room of the Glen Island
Hotel with a bullet wound in his head.
The first witness today was the father
of the dead man. Mr.. Brooks said that
on December 8 he heard Florence Burns
say to his son: What are you going
to do? Are you going to marry me? My
money is soon gone and / don't know
what TO do
His son, the witness testified, advised
the girl to find employment and said he
would aid her to get work.
Witness said he told Miss Burns that
his son should not marry her and he
told her that she must go home; that
he would not let her remain in his
house. The witness identified a woman's
comb found in the room occupied by his
son at the hotel
Several detectives testified as to the
conduct of Miss Burns after the arrest
and the answers made by her in reply
to questions concerning the case.

INTERPOsEs HIS VETO.
Roosevelt Puts His Foot Down on Two Private
Bills
(By the Associated Press. ]

(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, March 18.-President
Roosevelt today sent to the Senate two
veto messages of private bills. One is a
bill granting an honorable discharge from
the military service to Charles H. Haw-
ley, who was dismissed from the army
thirty-nine years ago. President Roose-
welt says he regards it as inexpedient to
reverse an order of dismissal nearly
forty years after the event, when it is
impossible for any one to possess the
means of arriving at a judgment pos
sessed by those who dismissed the man.
In returning the bill for the relief of
James w. Howell, the President says:
This man was convicted of mutiny,
sentenced to be dishonorably discharged
from the army and confined at hard
labor for a term of years. portion Of
the confinement was RENTED by execu-
tive clemency. 1t is to the last degree
improbable that now thirty-seven years
after the event, there is as good an OPP
portunity to pass judgment upon the
facts as was the case when the fellow
officers of the offender found him guilty
of an offense so serious as to call for
the punishment they inflicted There is
perhaps no other heritage an American
would SO like to leave to his children as
an honorable discharge for services we'll
and CALAMITY performed in the Civil
War; and the honorable discharge thus
granted to those who with blood and toll
have earned it is cheapened and rendered
of little worth if also granted to their
unworthy brothers who have forfeited
the right to receive it,"

The Provisions of TIE Bill Over Which The Re

Fiercely.
(By the Associated pressl

Washington, March 18-The advocates OF
Cuban reciprocity scored a decisive vic
tory tonight at the conference of Re-
publican members of the House of Repre-
sentatives, the proposition of Chairman
Payne, of the Ways and Means Commit
tee. for 20 per cent reduction of duty,
with the Sibley amendment limiting the
duration of the reduced rates to Deem
Der l, 1903, being adopted by vote OF
So years 10 81 nays. This result was
reached at 11:30 o'clock after protract-
ed debate followed by a series of exciting
roll calls.
The first test was when Mr.. Payne
concluded the speech making with mo-
tion for the previous question on all
pending propositions. This motion pre-
vailed, TS to ST. A vote was then taken
on substitute offered by Representative
Dick. of Ohio, in behalf of those opposing
the reciprocity plan, Offering in it's stead
plan of direct payment to Cuba cover
ing several years. This was defeated 81
TO 10. An amendment by Mr.. Morris, of
Minnesota, to take off the differential on
Ways and Means proposition for re-
ciprocity, with the Sibley amendment linn
iting it's duration, was then agreed to 50
to 81.
While he voting was in progress quite
a number of those who oppose the Ways
and Means plan left the chamber.
The Payne resolution as adopted tonight
gives the general form of bill, author
izing the President to negotiate a COM
mercial agreement with Cuba for recipro-
cal and equivalent concessions, by which
the rates of duty shall be reduced at
least 20 per cent ad valorem on all ar
ticles imported from Cuba into the United
States. 1t also provides that the United
States immigration and exclusion laws
shall be enacted by the Government of
Cuba as preliminary to reciprocity. The
Sihley amendment which is adopted as a
part q Che Payne resolution, recites that
the foregoing 20 per cent reduction shall
be limited in it's duration and effect to
the first day of December, 1913.

/ began with bottle the first week in
March and it certainly did me great
deal of good. l was so well satisfied
that purchased another bottle and fol-
lowed the directions, and can say that it
has cured me."-Henry Distin.
A large per cent of those who are
afflicted with this epidemic, instead of
getting well as they ought to, will have
chronic catarrh as the result. This is
almost invariably the case unless Pc
runa is taken as soon as possible after
the grip begins.
Every one who has observed the effect
of Peruna during the last three epidem-
les of la grippe positively knows that
this remedy will cure it permanently.
The fact is, however, that great null
titude of people will not take Peruna,
and a foundation for chronic catarrh
will be laid.
Even in cases where chronic catarrh
has affected the lungs, and the early
stages of catarrhal consumption have
been developed, Peruna can be relied
upon as prompt and lasting cure. La
grippe and catarrh are at present the
two great enemies of life in the land.
Peruna is cure for either.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.
