WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The
house today without preliminary bus
mess proceeded to the consideration
of the senate amendments to the Phil
ippine currency bill. 1t was agreed
that there should be one hour for
each debate on each side.
During the consideration of the
morning business in the senate today,
a bill was passed creating new divis-
ion of the eastern district of Texas,
and providing for the holding of ses-
sions of court at Texarkana. A bill was
passed authorizing the secretary of
the treasury to issue number OF SOU
yenir medallions for the benefit of the
Thomas Jefferson memorial assOcia-
ton of the United States.
A resolution was adopted calling on
the postmaster general to furnish in
formation regarding the effect on the
revenue Of the postoffice department,
in the event of the adoption of an
amendment to the postoff1ce appropria-
ton bill, giving all periodicals the
same rate and terms as those now CIV
en- weekly periodicals. Mr.. Quay,
speaking to his resolution, declaring
it to be the sense of the senate that a
vote should be taken on the statehood
bill prior to March End, said the occa-
sion for it had passed, but he desired
test vote on the question OF clOture
in the senate, for future reference. Mr..
Aldrich thought the resolution should
go to the committee on rules, where
upon Mr. Quay remarked, if the SEN
ators who were so voceriferous the
other day in opposing the c1oture,
declined to go on record ne was will
ing the resolution should be referred
The resolution thereupon was sent to
the committee. Upon motion of Mr..
Proctor the agricultural appropriation
bill was taken up. The statehood
amendment which was put on as rid
er was passed over by unanimous cor
sent.
1t has been agreed to withdraw the
omnibus statehood bill as an amend
ment to the postoffice and agricultural
appropriations bill. The omnibus bill
is to be kept before the senate, but is
not to interfere with the appropria-
ton bills.

not vote for the rider. The democrats

A GERMAN AMBULANCE TRAIN.

A GERMAN AMBULANCE TRAIN.
From the Medical Record
Although it is impossible altogether
to prevent railway accidents, it seems
at least, that something can be done
20 relieve the sufferings of those who
have been injured Both in America
and in Germany ambulance trains are
now in use, which are kept ever
ready to be sent out for the purpose
of affording speedy relief to the MAIN
ed. The train, SO far as it's narrow
limits permit, is as admirably equipped
as any modern hospital: it's operating
rooms fitted up with an operating
table, with all the necessary appli-
ances of antiseptic surgery. The ward
of this hospital on wheels has eight
removable beds, which can be used
as litters If need be. Reclining
chairs complete the furniture of the
ward. Every German railroad has a
certain number of these ambulance
trains, the road being divided into sec
tions, and a train assigned to each.
Trains are always sidetracked at a
station, ready to be sent out. AS soon
as news of an accident is received
the water tanks are filled, and the
railroad surgeons-whO live In the VI
cinity of the stations-are called by
telephone. Even the fast limited trains
must give way to the surgeons, and
are sidetracked, in order that the am.
bulance may speed to the scene of the
accident. The admirable system which
has been devised, renders 1t possible
for the surgeons to reach the injured
within half an hour after they have
been informed Of the accident.

Wilmington, Del, June 27.-This city

closing of the saloons last night had a

they are being commended generally by
the citizens for sacrificing business Tor

These precautionary plans adopted by
the police few days ago will be kept

There was apprehension that Satur-

TWO MORE DAYS
Many We're Unable to See dim

Owing to the Number Of Out

DR. DODD AT KENYON HOTEL

DR.. DOdd. The eye specialist, was IN
able to examine some of the people IN
the city last week, owing to the fact
that so many from out of town came
here to consult him. In several in
stances the doctor was obliged to make
appointments for Monday with patients
living in the city in order that those
from a distance might be fitted. Not
withstanding the courteous way in
which he explained the necessity of re-
Questing them to give their turn to
some Out-Of-tOWn patients, some ap-
peared' much provoked. The majority,
however. We're perfectly willing when
he agreed to make appointments with
them for Monday and Tuesday 4 am
much pleased with the good I was able
TO accomplish last week, remarked DR..
DOdd, for one can have no idea of
the percentage Of misfit glasses being
worn until he comes in contact with
them. The average person does not
and can not appreciate the difference
until he has had the good fortune to
be fully and correctly fitted in a scien-
tific manner, and it is really surpris-
ing how some people are able to get
along at ali with some of the misfits
which I came in contact with last week.
One man from Ogden had less than 20
per cent vision in his best eye. and yet
this man has a family depending upon
him for support His eyes had been al
most ruined by strong, imperfect
glasses. and the best vision I was able
to give him was 80 per cent, and yet
no one could be more appreciative than
he am of the opinion that his eyes
will now recover to some extent, but
he cannot hope to ever see anything
like perfect
DR.. Dodd gave US permission to say
that all who called Monday and Tues
day would be examined free.
