Treasury is not as alluring now as It
was In years gone by. In this connec-
ton II is said that Senator Cockrell of
Missouri, who has figured effectively
and conspicuously as the Treasury
watch dog" in the Senate for many
years, is becoming careless of his self
imposed duty. An instance of his Lam
gushing zeal as guardian of the Treas
ury, or his inability to keep up with
the rapid flow of public expenditures,
was disclosed a few days ago. The
venerable senator hustled into the
Treasury Department, armed with a
vigorous protest against contract be-
ing awarded for certain piece of gov
eminent work in Missouri. To his dis
may and disappointment he was in
formed that he was only about one
month behind time. over four weeks
ago the contract complained of was
signed, sealed and delivered all of
which had escaped the usual vigilance
of the sena tor. There was good
laugh at his expense, and he was
somewhat appeased when it was
shown that the successful bidders are
responsible parties. and underbid all
competitors for the contract. He could
not help, however realizing that his
reputation for watch dogfuilness''
was slightly impaired by his hardness
in filing the protest.
Morton and Hay business Rivals.
Former Vice President Levi p. Nor
ton and Secretary of State John Hay
are accused of engaging in a friendly
rivalry as to which shall have the

tHurant or cook shop" call it what
you may. 1t appears that Secretary Hay
with a view to safeguarding his flu
ture welfare. Is building 700-room
fiat or apartment house, on Connec-
ticut avenue, the SWEETEST thorough
fare I'm Washington. One of the at
fractions of the Hay fiat Is to be a
cafe or restaurant conducted on "a
scale far beyond anything of the kind
ever before attempted in the Capital
City. 1t is aimed TO make 1t the
headquarters for the smart set for
afternoon teas, dinner parties and
social entertainments.
Now a similar idea struck Mr. Nor
ton, and he is spending thousands of
dollars remodeling his hotel property
at the corner of Fifteenth and II.
streets. Several years ago Mr.. Nor
ton invested largely in what he con-
sfdered a modern apartment hotel In
this city. For a time It seemed to
be novelty and society fioclSed there
for dinner parties and balls. New
establishments In the hotel line
brought Mr.. Morton to the realization
that his house was not keeping up
with the march OF progress. He
came to Washington last spring and
instructed his business representative
to proceed without limit of expense.
to surpass all possible competitors in
the public house business. In the al
terations. special attention is given to
cafe and restaurant facilities, and 1t
is said that the competition between
the Hay and the Morton establish
ments for the patronage of the social
and dinner-giving element in Wash

AT FIRST GLANCE
Ii Would Appear That Local Rene
dies Would Be Best for Cure of
Catarrh.

1t would seem at first glance that
catarrh being a disease of the mucous
membrane, that salves, sprays, ETC..
being applied directly to the menu
branes of the nose and throat, would
be the most rational treatment. but
this has been proven not to be true
The mucous membrane is made and
repaired from the blood, and catarrh
is a blood disease, and any remedy to
make permanent cure must act on
the blood, and when the blood is puri-
he'd from catarrhal poison, the secre-
tons from the mucous membrane will
become natural and healthy.
In this climate thousands Of people
seem scarcely ever free from some
form of catarrh; il gets better at times
but each winter becomes gradually
deeper seated. and after a time the
sufferer resigns himself to it as a ne
cessary evil. .
Catarrh cures are almost as numer-
Gus as catarrh sufferers, but are nearly
all so inconvenient and ineffective as
to render their use a nuisance nearly
as annoying as catarrh itself. Anyone
who has used douches, sprays and pow
ders viii bear witness to their incon-
venience and failure to really cure.
There are a number of good internal
remedies for catarrh. but probably the
best and certainly the safest is a new
remedy. composed of Red Gum, Blood
Root and similar antiseptic remedies
and other VALUABLE catarrh specifics.
This remedy is in tablet form, pleas
ant to the taste and sold by druggists
under the name of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets. and anyone suffering from
catarrh may use these tablets with alb
solute assurance that they contain no
cocaine, opiate nor any poisonous min
eral whatever.
A leading druggist in Albany speak
ing of catarrh cures says: 81 have sold
various catarrh cures for years, but
have never sold any which gave such
general satisfaction as Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets. They contain in a pleasant
concentrated form all the best and
latest catarrh remedies, and catarrh
sufferers, who have used douches
sprays and salves, have been astonish-
ed at the quick relief and permanent
results obtained after a weeks use OF
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets All drug
gists sell full sized packages for fifty
cents

oCHILTREE VERY ILL.
Little Hope for His Recovery Is En-
tcrtaincd.

Hot Springs, Va, Nov. 21.-Col
Thomas Ochiltree is critically i'll here,
and is suffering repeated attacks OF
heart trouble. There is no hope for his
recovery, and news of his death would
come as no surprise to those watching
his case here. To-day he is not quite

He was sent here a fortnight ago by
Dr. L. r. Morris of New York in the
hope that the change would be bene-
ficial but he came too late. The heart
trouble is a result of pneumonia con-
tracted a year ago. During Col. Ochil-
trees quiet moments he talks hopeful
ly of spending the winter in Bermuda.
He is kept up entirely on heart slim

"It is strange and sad that man
who has friends all over the world
should be dying here practically
alone"

CUBA IS INVITED.
Resolution in Congress Asks Her to
Join This Union.

Washington, Feb. 7.-Representative
Newlands, of Nevada, of the ways and
means committee, who was the author
of the resolution annexing Hawaii, in
troduced q joint resolution inviting the
republic of Cuba to become a part of the
United States, first as territory and
then as a state of the Union, to be called
the state of Cuba and also authorizing
a % per cent. reduction of duty on the
present crop of Cuban sugar, in consid-
GRAFTON of Cuba's granting preferential
rates to the United States. The resolu-
ton confines the Is per cent. reduction
Of duties to the period prior to January
1, 1908.
Mr.. Newlands, in explanation of his
resolution, said:
"All those who have appeared to voice
Cuba's needs and requirements have in
dicated that an invitation to Cuba of an
nexation would be accepted. Annexa-
ton by force would not be justified. 1t
must be accomplished, If at all, by the
free act of the Cuban people. At present
there is no machinery in Cuba by which
the popular will can be tested, but the
Cuban constitution has been adopted.
The Cuban congress will meet in Feb
ruary, a Cuban government will be or
ganized, and the United States will then
leave the government and control of the
islands to it's people. Cuba then will be
in position to express her will"
