Friarspoint, Miss, Nov. SO.-The
Butler case still continues to be the
talk Of the town. Mr.. G. l.. Butler, the
father Of the little boy, says:
"Thc doctor said my boy had disease
Of the spinal cord, and treated him
for two months, during which he got
worse all the time. Finally the doctor
told me he did not know what was the
trouble. The boy would wake up dur
ing the night and say that he was
dying. He would be nervous and trem-
bling and would want to run from the
house, saying he saw ugly things
which frightened him. After we had
tried everything else read an adver-
tisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills as a
cure for Nervous Troubles. pur-
chased some and used them until he
lad taken altogether eight boxes when
he was sound and well with not sin
gle symptom of the old trouble. This
was some months ago, and feel sure
that he is permanently cured. We owe
to Dodd's Kidney Pills all tho credit
for his restoration to good health"

CONGRESS IN DEAD LOCK.
Neither House Will Initiate Action
"g ''.'i Z
to Adjourn Extra Session.
NO BUSINESS is EXPECTED,

Washington, Dec 1.-The senate will
not do any business other than OF u
routine character dnring the present
week, 1t will meet Tuesday, and uli-
less the house manifests a disposition
by that time to reach a final adjourn
ment, will adjourn over to tho follow
ing Friday. The understanding is that
the senate will not originate resolu.
ton for the adjournmentof the session,
but some senators entertain the hope
that the house will send over an adj
journment resolution not later than
Friday. The Cuban reciprocity bill is
on the calendar as the unfinished
business, but no speeches will be made
on it until after the beginning OF the
regular session.
The interesting features OF the conf
Ing weeks proceedings in tile house OF
representatives will be the announce
nent Of committees by Speaker Can.
non, This announcement is looked for
Tuesday, when the first session OF the
weel, will be held. The speaker says,
however, that there may be delays.
In just what manner the extra seq
sion is to end, whether by joint resolu-
ton Of tile two houses or by tile
operation of the constitutional pro.
vision converting the regular session
on the first Monday in December, is
another interesting feature for the
weeks development The precedcnts
on this point arc being spread before
the speaker for his guidance.
House leaders have taken the posi-
ton that, no matter how the extra
session ends the responsibility for its
termination, in tho absence OF the com
plction Of the Cuban legislation, shall
not rest with the lower branch OF con.
grcss. For this reason there is some
objection to q joint resolution unless
that form of adjournment should come
from the senate. Senate precedent,
which is a matter Of some weight with
that body, Is to look for an adjourn.
mcnt resolution from the house.
In the absence OF such u resolution,
The plan suggested, SO far us the house
is concerned, is to take q recess on
Saturday until few minutes before
IL o'clock Monday, then to adjourn the
extra session and assemble the regular
session precisely on the hour Of 10.
In the absence Of a quorum in the
house during the week, the minority
in that body will be in a position to
shape the course Of events to some ex-
tent The point will be made by the
that no quorum is present,
which, under the rules, will recessi-
tate ameeting Of the house each day.

curing their material, economic and social

I'VE have been assisted very efficiently
in our effort to secure the passage of an
effective anti-iniunction bill by Mr. Fuller,
the legislative committeeman from the
Railroad Brotherhoods.
Through our official magazine, the
American Federationist. l have called at
tention to the fact that perhaps the most
effective answer which could be inter-
posed to injunctlons issued to restrain or
ganizcd labor from issuing circulars in re-
gard to the boycott is the constitutional
guarantee of the right Of free press and
free speech.
IF circular of the character referred
to, or speaker, mis-states the facts to
mans injury and involves libel, the law
affords ample remedy. but in that case
the offense is in the libel not in the boy
cott.' 1t is. therefore, strongly urged that
where no mis-statements of fact, libelous
in character, are alleged, the right of free
speech be interposed as an answer. to all
iniunctions of this kind.
"A free press does not simply consist in
according that freedom to newspapers, but
equally to pamphlets and CIRCULARS, through
which means most controversial questions
We're discussed, before the era of our mod
ern newspapers, and for which the right
of free press was secured.

Parker, the Proprietor of the Famous
Parker House, Tells the Story.
Parker, for so many years propri-
etor of the famous Parke house, on
Broadway, near Thirty-first street,
may be seen almost every day around
the Imperial, at lunch at the Arena,
or somewhere in the vicinity of his
old stamping grounds.
His many years experience as a
boniface has endowed him with a
fund of "reminiscences and the other
day, while in communicative mood,
he was telling a friend how he gave
up smoking. 1t seems that he formed
the habit of smoking fifteen or twenty
cigars a day and spent most of his
time at the cashiers desk and the CT
gar case.
One day Governor Morgan, who was
a regular patron, stepped up to the
desk to pay his bill, saying at the
same time:
my Parker, l want to give you a
word Of advice. l am customer of
yours, and as such, you have no right
to stand behind that desk and blow
the tobacco smoke from your cigar
in my face"
That advice was given over forty
years ago, and Parker has never
smoked from that day.-New York
