hair or feathers.
5. They are proof against moth while hair,
wool OF feathers are subject to them.
8. They require no making over.
!. With ordinary use they will be in excel
lent condition for more than fifteen years.
8. Their first cost is not one-half that of
hair mattress Of good quality.
9. They are lighter than cheap hair mat
tresses and about the same weight of good

CONGRESS-.
Senator Dubois Discusses the Phil
ippine Question.


Washington, May "a. A temperate
and carefully prepared speech was
delivered in the senate yesterday on
the Philippine bill by Mr.. Dubois OK
Idaho. He confined himself almost en-
trely to a discussion of the commercial
and indI strial aspects of the Philippine
question, his purpose being to show
that Il would be disadvantage TO the
r. ople Of this country to retain the
islands. Whatever of profit there might
be in them. he said, would accrue to
few capitalists who, by their develop
ment of the resources OF the archtpela-
go through cheap labor. would come
into competition with the agricultur-
lists and manufacturers of the United
States in the markets OF the world.
An earnest and forcible reply to MT.
nuLois was made by Mr.. Beverage or
Indiana, who contended that the de-
velopment of China's resources would
be Of advantage in trade and commerce
to the United States, as the Industrial
development of other nations had been.
In the House.
The house devoted the day to private
pension bills and to a few other minor
measures. In all los private pension
bills were passed. The house ad-
journed until Monday in order to par
ticipate in the Rochambeau ceremonies

Mr.. w II. Metals has been suffering
severely for two years with an ailmen,
that puzzled the doctors and every.
body. The trouble seemed to be all in
his head, which had a burning sensa.
ton all the time.
Sometimes this burning pain in the
head would be worse than at Other
times, but II never left him.
At last he tried a new remedy called
rodd's Kidney Pills, and was agreeably
surprised TO find that the burning grad
ually disappeared.
An attack of La Grippe has laid him
up for the last few weeks, but Dodd's
Kidney Pills have banished his old
trouble entirely.
His son, George, rsed n few OF the
Pills which his father did not need, and
they have done him so much good that
he says ne would not take ten dollars a
Pill for the few he still has left.

How often do we hear this and similar

value. 1t will drive all impurities from the

Enjoyable Function ON Board the
French warship.
Annapolis, May %. - The luncheon
given yesterday on board the French
battleship Gaulois in honor OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt was one of the most
memorable incidents OF the visit of the
distinguished French soldiers and sail
ors to this country, who are here to
join in the celebration Of the unyeiltng
of the monument TO the memory or
Gen Rochambeau. which takes place In
Washington to-day. As soon as the
president came aboard the Gaulois, ac'
companied by his daughter and Secre-
taries Root and Moody, he was met by
Ambassador Cambon, Gen. Brugere
and Admiral Fournier and escorted to
the cabin of the officers. Here a gen.
eral handshallng, congratulations and
preliminary refreshments ensued. Then
followed the luncheon rendered to
President Roosevelt by the French
ambassador. After the delIcacies of n
choice French menu had been dis
cussed Ambassador Cambon arose, and
in the name of President Loubet OF the
French republic, bade n hearty well
come to all present. He was especially
complimentary in his illusions to
President Roosevelt. In proposing the
health of President Roosevelt Ambas-
sador Cambon said that IN extending
the invitation to the chief magistrate
of the United States he wished to en-
phasize the fact that he was acting as
the direct and personal representative
of President Loubet of the French re-
public. President Roosevelt replied in
his happiest vein, though speaking with
unusual deiiberation. as though he
measured every word he uttered. He
concluded by offering toast TO Pres!-
dent Loubet.
