CANNOT IMPORT LIQUORS
Residents of Prohibition states are
Debarred by House Bill from
Bringing Drink In.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The house de-
voted today to bills reported from the ju-
dietary committee, passing about twenty.
Most Of them were of a minor character,
relating to the times Of holding court, but
two were of more Importance. One was to
meet the original package decision OF the
supreme court by making intoxicating
liquors imported into states subject to the
jurisdiction OF such states, and the other
was the senate bill to increase the sala-
ries of federal judges.
other bills passed creating additional
district judges in the southern district of
New York and in Minnesota and provide
additional circuit judges in the Eight judi
cial district.
Mr.. Bartholdt (Mo.) opposed the original
package bill on the ground that It would
legalize prohibition.
Several of the Iowa member explained
how the prohibition law in Iowa was
evaded by importations under the original
package decision.
The bill finally was passed without
division.
When the senate bill to increase the
salaries of United States Judges was called
up Mr.. Smith (Ky.) opposed It, maintain
ing that the work Of the judges had not
increased enough to warrant the increase
and that the increased cost of living, ad-
vanced as an argument in favor Of the bill,
was not a sufficient reason. On the con-
trary, he argued the cost of living today
was lower than when the salaries were
fixed.
Mr.. Driscoll IN. " also opposed the bill.
He said there should be a law which would
prevent any man who held an ONCE from
receiving an increase of salary during his
incumbency.
Mr.. Cannon QlI.) concluded the pro-
tracted debate by saying the bill increased
the salaries Of the United States judiciary
25 per cent, or about $4,000. The country
needed and could afford to pay liberal sal
aries for capable judges.
On motion Of Mr.. 0lmsted (Pa.) an
amendment was adopted striking from the
bill the provision abolishing the payment
of any expenses Of federal Judges.
Mr.. Randall (Tex.) offered an amend
ment to prohibit federal Judges from &C.
cepting free transportation from railroads
or telegraph or telephone franks.

Thousands of Women Cured Eve

Thousands of Women Cured Every
Year.
ELVIC catarrh is almost a new term
Il in medical literature. DR.. Hartman
was the first physician in this country
who used the term, but through his writ
ings he has made 1t a familiar phrase to
nearly the whole OF the civilized world.
Before 1t was discovered that the all
ments Of women depended chiefly on ca
tarrh Of the pelvic organs, these cases
were regarded as incurable. Now, thous-
snds are cured every year. The same dis
eases that once seemed beyond the reach
of man are promptly and permanently
cured by Peruua.
Peruna cures catarrh, whether OF the
pelvic organs or any other organ of the
human body.
Peruna has become as a pos
tive cure for female ailments, simply
because these ailments are mostly due to
catarrh. Catarrh is the cause OF the trou-
BILE. Peruna cures the catrrh. The symp-
toms disappear.
Peruna is not simply a palliative to re-
lieve some of the most distressing symp-
toms. It is a permanent and radical
cure. A multitude of women are ~praising
1t every day.

an insuperable objection to the bill.
Mr.. Foraker co. said the bonds referred

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 27.-The testimony
presented today before the coal strike COM
mission was varied and interesting, an i'm
portant witness being Albert c.. Lcisenring,
superintendent Of the Upper Lehigh Coal
company, who said he believed the meeting
OF employer and employee to be beneficial
to both parties. He was asked IL he pre-
ferred to allow his mine to fill with water
rather than grant an eight-hour working
day and replied in the negative.
Another witness was II. NJ. Christ. a coal
breaker builder, who said he was refused
permission" by the district officers of the
union to build two breakers while the strike
was in progress.
T. Edward Ross, a professional account
ant, was called to show the wages paid by
the g. B. Markle company. but was COM
PEELED to change many of the figures in the
c%ompany's answer to the miners demands
recently published. In every case the
amounts stated we're higher than the SUMS
actually paid. Judge Gray became impa-
tient at this and expressed his displeasure
in pointed terms.
At the afternoon session Willard Young.
who acted as a special coal and iron police
man during the strike, insisted that .
reign of terror existed in the Lehigh re-
gions, but under REORGANIZATION several
times contradicted himself regarding the

A Physicians Endorsement.
DR.. M. G.. Gee, is one of the physicians
who endorse Peruna. In a letter written
from 513 Jones street, San Francisco, Cal,
he says:
There is a general objection on the part
Of the practicing physician to advocate

cine cures hundreds of people, It demon
strates it's own value and does not need

Mr.. Rose asked permission to correct
some Of the figures contained in the COM
pany's answer, but when the corrections

some cases miners earned more than $1,000

o all things in the world, get a pro-
fessional accountant who can't see any
thing unless 1t is in a column OF figures.
Let us get at the facts that underlie the
bookkeeper's statement. Do you know
whether the boy or his mother received any
money-from the company during the time

81 don't know" answered witness.
Addressing counsel, Judge Gray said:
This mar does not know anything about
this case?"
81 think that is hardly fair responded
the lawyer.
81 do not usually resort to strong ex-
pressions Of opinion without reason" re-
turned the Judge. This man knows only
what his figures show"
Further questioning showed that Mrs.
Burns was indebted to the company for
coal and rent which was eventually charged
to profit and loss.
Under cross-examination witness said
he was not aware that two or more per-
sons frequently figured in the wages cred
tied to one man, which fact, miners coun-
sci said, might account for the high wages
paid in exceptional cases.

Only n scanty RecOmpense.

This resolution provides that the union
veteran be paid $2 per month after reacn-
ing the age of 81 and making application
for the same. This will be a scanty living;
even then the wolf will howl close. by.
After the age of 81 few men, especially
war, are able to do manual labor. Many
of these are today worthy and sunertng for
the necessities of life.
l believe this resolution will meet the
hearty approval of a brave ana generous
people. | know 1t will meet the approval
of our conscience. Let this commission be
appointed, let 1t assume the task that Will
appeal to duty and to patriotism, and not
to partisanship or ~sectionalism. Let the
members be men who cannot be sWerVed
from duty by the cheer of the demagogue
or the groans of the miser, and recon-
mend to the next congress such a measure
as will simplify our present complex system
and broaden the pedestal of our phi
lanthropy. When the soldier served ninety
reached the age of 60 he should receive from
this government not less than $l2 per
month. This will give him a few of the
necessities and none of the luXurles of life.

gregate would never be felt by this people.
Can human genius devise a more appro-
pirate outlay for the accumulated surplus?

Union Dictates to Contractor.

H.. M. Christ, a builder of coal breakers
of Mahonoy City, said he wanted to erect
a breaker at ~Frankville and one at Shen-
andoah during the strike. He was told
by union men that he could not proceed
with the work under the ruling of the
Hazleton convention. He appealed to Mr..
Mitchell, who informed him, by letter, that
the convention had taken no action on
matters Of that kind, but the executive
committees of the three anthracite dis
tricts requested that all persons employed
in such work cease until the strike ended.
Mr.. Mitchell said he could do nothing but
carry out that policy.
Witness then referred the matter to the
district executive committees, but Presi-
dent Fahey was unable to grant him per
mission" to proceed, although witness
agreed to employ as many members of the

Mr.. Scott spoke on his resolution. pro-
viding for a commission to suggest changes
in the pension laws and to inquire into
the advisability of granting a pension Of
$12 per month to any soldier Of the civil
war who served ninety days. In the course
of his remarks he said:
Large as the pension roll now appears,
as seems the aggregate of a ma
tons bounty. Il is al aggregate summed
from all it's wars. Yet, however large that
roll be, it is not so large as the muster
roll, and no man who answered the call
TO which none but the true and brave
responded should now be forgotten.
Go, Mr.. President. read the muster roll
from 81 to IS, subtract from 1t those
that sleep in the cemeteries, and then
compare the remainder with the pension
roll and tell me where the vast army Is.
Who cares for them? There is not one
of them, perhaps, but who was as brave
and true a patriot as his comrades who
are now provided for. Their names have
never been enrolled upon the pension list,
They have been knocking, but knocking
in vain. Upon what principle of justice, by
what teaching of humanity, shall one-half
be clothed and the other naked? 1t was
the blood of the union soldier that ce-
mented the stones erected by the fathers

POINTS ON EARTHQUAKES.
An English Expert Gives Some Inter-
estinE Information About Sub
terranean COnvulsiOns.

Prof. Milne lately addressed the
Royal Geographical society on earth
quakes, a subject which he has made
his own, reports Chambers Journal.
In the course of his lecture he point
ed out that there are two kinds of
earth disturbances: those which
affect continental areas, and those
which only disturb an area with a
radius of 100 or 200 miles. The first
is the result of sudden movements
in the process of ~rockfolding, ac-
companied by "faulting" and huge dis
placements of great masses of the
earth's crust; the second kind being
caused by after-settlements and adj
justments along the lines of fracture
caused by the greater movements.
The relationship between the two
groups is that of parents and chill
dren. Earthquakes and earth
tremors are far more frequent than
most persons imagine. On an average
there are 10000 annually, which dis
turb from ten to several hundred
square miles of country with sufi-
cient vigor to be felt by a number of
