rible Evils Permanently
BaniShed by
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND.
Mrs. Clark Tells of Her Happy Res
cue from Suffering After Fail
ure of Physicians.

chief sufferers. Digestion gives out,
there are pains in the head, the
tongue is coated, the muscles ache,
there is constipation, heart palpi-
tation, gloomy fears Cypress contin-
ually, and sleep is broken and dis
turbed =
The only reliable remedy that medi-
cal science has given to humanity for
the cure of nervousness is Paine's
Celery Compound, prescribed by emil
nent physicians with the happiest re-
suits. In critical cases. Paines Cele-
ry Compound has saved life and re-
stored health when all other medicines
failed. Mrs. F. A. Clark. of Moscow,
Idaho, writes as follows about her sue
cess with Paine's Celery Compound:
while suffering terribly from nerv-
BUSINESS and nervous prostration,
was attended by several physicians,
but their efforts brought no assuring
results. l finally got so bad that it
was impossible to sleep at night. My
husband again wanted me to have a
doctor, but l told him it was no use.
He then went to our druggist who rec
commended Paines Celery Compound.
The first night | used the Compound,
I slept well and l continued to i'm
prove from day to day. l used in all
eight bottles of Paines Celery Com
pound and am perfectly cured. l cam
not say enough in its favor"

WHY DETR0IT'S SALUTE
WAS NOT ANSWERED.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The State De-
partment has received from the Brazil
ian Minister. Mr.. Assis Brasil, an ex-
PLANTATION of the failure of the Forte de
Barra to salute the American cruiser
Detroit when it recently passed there
going to Port of Parro.
According to the statement of the
Brazilian commander. the Detroit pro-
ceeded to the harbor, and anchored near
the abandoned fortress CASTILLO, before
firing the customary salute. The COM
mander of de Barra was absent from
the fortress at the time, but on his
return he learned that the Detroit had
saluted the fortress and he straightway
reciprocated.
Some five hours, however. interviewed
between the salute of the Detroit and
the reply of the fortress. This, Minis
ter Brasil states, was due solely to the
absence of the commander, in the city
of Para. The United States govern
ment, it is understood. regards the in
cident as closed.

FILLED WATERY GRAVE.

Aged Woman Had Been Missing
More Than Two Months.
Augusta, Feb. 9.-To-night, in one of
the undertaking establishments, lie
the remains of Mrs. Mary Mcdonald,
aged 65 years. She disappeared from
her home. SO6 ETbert street, the day
following last Thanksgiving Day, and
no trace of her could be found.
About shutdown this evening some
men standing on the bridge looking at
the river discovered an object, that
looked like a woman, going down the
swift rushing stream. Hastily pro-
curing a. boat, they set out in pursuit,
and a mile or two below the city,
caught up with what proved to be the
badly decomposed remains of a gray
haired woman. 1t was impossible to
paddle back up the swollen stream, and
they were some hours in getting their
find back to town.
The remains were identified as those
of Mrs. Mcdonald. The presumption
is that she was drowned last Novem-
Der, and the body caught under roots
or over-hanging limbs, and held I'M
der water until released by the swift
and swollen stream of to-day.

Richardson Took Exception to
What Had Been Done.
Washington, Feb. 9.-After the read
ing of the House journal to-day, MIR.
Richardson of Tennessee took excep-
ton to the presentation of the confer
ence report on the Department of Com
merce bill at yesterdays memorial
session. He said the action of yester-
day was void.
Speaker Henderson ruled that it was
regular. He said in his ruling that il
had been repeatedly held that Sunday
could be made a legislative day. The
House, when in session at any time, he
said, was omnipotent, except for the
limitations of the constitution.
Mr.. Richardson protested against the
ruling as a dangerous precedent, and
moved to correct the journal so as tc
strike out the action of yesterday. On
roll call the motion was carried, 116 tc
101.
Twenty-eight Republicans voted
with the Democrats. The net result oil
this action is to postpone the consider
alton of the conference report on the
Department of Commerce bill until to-
morrow. The House adjourned until

INSULAR TREASURY SUFFERS.
congress Must Do Something on
Philippine Currency Question.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Secretary Root
to-day transmitted to the President
pro tenn of the Senate. a copy of a
cablegram from the Governor of the
Philippine Islands, dated Manila, Feb.
., indicating the urgent necessity of
legislation regarding the Philippine
currency.
In his dispatch to the Secretary of
War Gov. Taft says: Official ratio
of Mexican dollars to the United States
currency is now 1886 to $1.0O; a total
direct net loss to the insuIar treasury
from the depreciation of silver since
Jan. l, 1902, of $1,277, 941.
All business is suffering greatly
from the fuctuation and depreciation
or the insular treasury, and immense
losses to merchants who have sold on
creolt. Failure to furnish relief at
this session of Congress would create
CONSERVATION throughout the islands
added to the prevailing financial de-
preston, loss of animals by rinderpest,
and other contagious diseases, and re-
sultlng restitution, the political situa-
ton would become more difficult.
The adoption of American money
would enhance prices greatly and
derange every form of business. Legis-
latlon making a peso equal to one
halt an American dollar, as unit of
value of peso, and subsidiary minor
coinage receivable for all public dues,
at the rate of so cents American money
for one peso, with provision for
the issuance of silver certificates, based
on deposit of new pesos, would fur
nish currency as good as American
money and much better adapted to
needs of the islands. The Philippine
commissioners are unanimous in these
views"

AT TILDEN BANQUET.
HamIin Turned Himself Loose ON
Great Issues of Day,

New York, Feb. "a banquet in
celebration of the anniversary of the
birth of Samuel ]. Tilden was held at
the Tilden Club tonight. About $50
persons were present.
Robert f. Bowling, president of the
club, was POSTMASTER. Among those
at the guest table were Joseph w.
Folk, district attorney of st. Louis;
w. H. Hensel, former attorney gem
er,al of Pennsylvania; Charles S. Ham,
lin of Boston, assistant secretary of
the treasury under President CleVe-
land; and Attorney General John Gun
neen of New York. The three speak
ers were Messrs. Hamlin, Folk and
Shepard.
Mr.. Hamlin was first introduced and
said:
The great question whether the
Philippines are ultimately to be admit
ted as territories, or whether they
shall be given independence, is now be-
fore us for settlement. 1 believe the
vast majority of Democrats of the ma
ton believe that constitutionally, one
or the other of these courses must ulti-
mately be adopted, and in this they
seem to be sustained by the Supreme
Court of the United States. 1 further
believe that majority are of the
opinion that they should be given COM
plete independence at an early date.
Hitherto we have as nation re-
garded the Monroe doctrine as having
relation solely to the attempt of Eu-
ropean nation TO force it's political in
situations upon the South American
republics, taking territory for that
purpose, and osN action has been guild
ed by the instinct of self-preservation.
The present administration, however,
has extended this doctrine SO far that
it has practically made our ministers
judges, or referees in bankruptcy for
all South American republics, who
are cheerfully encouraged by this
means to evade any specific obhga-
ton which their citizens have incurred,
by putting forward so many other obli-
cations, incurred to the citizens of 9TH
er nations, that the result would be
that the individual nations concerned,
could recover no dividend whatsoever.
THE proper regulation of industrial
combinations known as trusts is also
before the people, and many bills have
been introduced, which, under the guise
of regulation, would practically amount
to such control over state corporations
as to wipe out state lines, and establish
a centralized form of government not
unlike that of France. We should
therefore, be careful not to invoke the
tremendous power, vested by the leg
islation in the national government, in
such way as to destroy the autonomy
of the states.
I'VE should certainly strive not to
fall into the error, from the Democratic
standpoint, of using the taxing power
of the national government as an en-
CINE of destruction of state property,
as has been proposed in numerous bills
Nor can l view with much enthusiasm
the theory advanced that all trust con-
trolled products should be placed upon
the free list. l believe in the long run
it will be better to calmly lay down
certain broad general principles IN ac-
cordance with which radical lowering
of taxation may take place."

Havana, Feb. s.-The organization of

There is considerable discussion as
to whether complete autonomy should

the sanitary work, street cleaning and
park work in Havana under the super
vision of Senior DiaZ. the secre-
tary of public works, who is

initiated during Gen. Woods admins-
tratfon. Some congressman hold that
IT Would be unconstitutional for the
government to permanently conduct
any municipal affairs. The govern
ment favors the federal control OF the
sanitation and street work of Havana,
al least. and the majority of the senators
are of the same opinion, but it is ques-
t,onable whether the House will concur
III such a proposal.
