AN INQUIRY
INTO PRIVATE TRAINS OF THE
 PRESIDENT.
May Be Made by senate-Had Twen ty-five Specials Within Two
 Years-Who Paid the BillSp

Washington special to New York World
 Word has been received in Washington that the Democrats in the Senate will introduce resolution, soon after Con- gress convenes, demanding information about the alleged practice of President Roosevelt in obtaining and using spe- cial cars from various railroads and pay ing nothing for the service.
 The resolution has been prepared and only awaits discussion by the Democrats before 1t is put in final shape. It recites the fact that the public press of the coun- try, and particular a portion of the Republican press of the country. has openly charged that the President paid none of the expenses of his trip to the Pacific coast by special train, which last ed sixty-six days and covered 22.O00 miles at an enormous cost. but that these ex- penses of every kind, including wines, liquors and cigars and food were paid by the railroads over which the train ran.
 Continuing. the resolution calls atten- tion to the frequent other trips of the President since he succeeded MT. McKin- ley, and then demands information as to whether these trips were made at the expense of the railroads and in condi- tions similar to those some of the Repub- lican papers say existed on the Pacific Is the discussion aroused by the Pacific coast trip. The reason for the resolution coast trip. It is stated in the preamble that it does not seem credible to the Democrats. at least. of the Senate that the President of the United States would accept complimentary transportation and food and drink and service from the railroads. and that the Senate desires to know if Its faith In President Roosevelt In this particular is unwarranted
 It is the present intention to introduce this resolution early in the session and ask to have it considered. If the Repub- licans hold 1t up and do not allow 1t to pass, the Democrats will take that as evidence that the President and the Re- puolicans are afraid to have the questions answered. and will so announce.

was abusing good thing. and that he

was abusing a good thing. and that he should at least offer to pay.
 The most of these trains and cars were furnished by the Pennsylvania railroad The private car of the President of the Pennsylvania Is always at the disposal of the President, and with 1t goes all ser- vice and food and drink, the investigators say. It is claimed here that the same ar- engagement exists with President Baldwin of the Long Island Railroad.
 What the Democrats want to find out is whether the President paid for any of these trains or cars, or whether he paid for any of the service or food and drink used on them.

 With such father ant such mother Frances Dickinson would have been a sinner indeed had she not gone become somebody which she did from the word go." She received that best of all educa- tions the training of the American pub lie school. After being graduated from the Central High School of Chicago in 1875 she was launched on the sea of life as a public school teacher. which again is about the most effective training young person can have who expects to be and do something, whether in the pedagogic profession or any other. It educates one to be on time, to be system atic, to be exact and to be self controlled.
 Miss Dickinson was a public school teacher four years. Her future was gradually shaping itself. It came to her presently that she desired to train herself to be special instructor in phys iology. To this end during the last year of her teaching career she attended a course of lectures on that branch. put ting in her spare time in study. Mean time it came to her--out of the air, out of her own soul, somewhere, at any rate that even being an instructor in phys iology was still not just what she want ed She would jump quite over the fence and land in the medical field. taking up her life work there. She settled this in her own mind and told her family of the decision.
 All the family approved the girls plan. Perhaps this harmony and this breadth of view on the woman question were ow- ing again to the kindly Quaker blood. Thus braced by her, family's support. in stead of being chilled discouraged and hurt to the soul by their opposition. Frances prepared to begin her medical studies. A very fortunate young woman she was not to have 10 fig opposition at home. Nay. still better!

but it came back again and again, and for
six long years have suffered more misery
and agony than can tell. 1t was worse
than death. My husband spent hundreds
of dollars for physicians prescriptions
and treatment without avail. Finally we
moved to Bosque county, y,ourpresent home
and one day l happened to see an adver-
tisement of Chamberlain's collie, cholera,
and diarrhea remedy with testimonial
of a man who had been cured by it. The
case was so similar to my own that | con-
