New Berlin, H., Mar. l6th:-Mr.
Frank Newton of this place speaks very
by any of his many friends the reason
for the very noticeable improvement in
his health.
For a long time-over two years-he
has been suffering great deal with pains
in his back and an all over feeling Of i'll
ness and weakness. His appetite failed
him and he grew gradually weaker and
weaker till he was very much run down.
A friend recommended Dodd's Kidney
Pills and Mr.. Newton began to take two
at dose three times day. In a very
short time he noticed an improvement;
the pains left his back and he could eat
better. He kept on improving and now
he says:
"Yes, indeed! I am different man
aad Dodd's Kidney Pills did it all. |
cannot tell you how much better l feel.
/ am new man and Dodd's Kidney Pills
deserve all the credit"

LEVER WINS HIS CONTEST.
South Carolina Disfranchisement Law
Sustained by the House.

House committee on elections No. 1. of
which Representative Mann of Illinois Is
chairman. today took up the contest OF Al
exander Dantzler against Representative
Lever of the seventh congressional district
of South Carolina. The case Is unique IN
the annals of congressional contests, the
Acknowledgement of colored voters by state
laws being the sole basis Of action. The
vote was overwhelming for the present
representative.
Dantzler is a colored man, successful
farmer In the palmetto state. He stood
for election last fall, and received only 1877
votes. Representative Lever received 4.220
votes Dantzler claims. however. that 1854
negroes presented themselves at the polls
and were prevented from voting. 1t Is de-
clared that had these colored people been
allowed to exercise the elective franchise
they would have voted for Dantzler, and he
would have been elected by a majority of
1881.
The contestant and his hackers In this
case are anxious to have test case made
of elections to Congress In states where 1t
is alleged that negro voters have been dis
qualified. An extract from the brief filed
by Dantzler's attorneys reads:
I'VE submit the foregoing In the belief
that the time has come for Congress to act
In some decisive way with regard to the
future continuance of the state of things
in South Carolina which this record and
case discloses.
1T Is a serious problem, involving great
and momentous questions Of statesmanship

FAIRBANKS FOR SECOND PLACE.
Indiana Senator May Be Named on Ma
tional Ticket.

One of the biggest republicans in the
United States and likewise regarded as
one of the wisest and most conservative
made this statement to a Star reporter to-
day:
1.-THE vice presidency is any mans nomi-
ration between now and the convention
do not believe that the so-called leaders
of the party, including the President, nave
decided upon any one or have any dehnlte
person In mind at this time.
The choice will have to work itself out
according to circumstances and the appar-
emit necessities of the case.
Among politicians Senator Fairbanks Is
else. as vice presidential possibility.
Senator Fairbanks friends say that If 1t
should appear that acceptance Of second
place this time would not be considered as
Geharring him from higher ambition in
l Us, it is not impossible that he would take
the nomination.

TAMMANY CHIEFS Pow-wow.
Conference With Mcclellan on tn
Coming National Election.

The big chiefs of Tammany Hall, Boss"
Murphy. Pat McCarren Of Brooklyn and
John j. Delaney, were in town last night in
conference with Mayor-elect Mcclellan.
Municipal patronage was the main subject
of the talk.
A side light on the visit of the Tammany-
ties showed Pat McCarren in a heart-to-
heart talk with Senator German, presume
bly, upon presidential politics.
The wise ones figured out today that Nc
Carren renewed to Senator German the as
surances of Tammany's distinguished con-
sideration, but added that New York state
would have constructive candidate and
possibly two-Judge Parker and Mcclellan.
OF course Tammany would support New
Yorker in preference to Marylander.
But-and here 1t is easy to imagine Mr..
McCarren and the senator exchanging
winks and nudges-if the New York man is
not the choice Of the convention. and IL
'tother dear charmer were away, Tammany
would be glad to support Mr.. German.

The Kiss Killers.

Have You read, asked Hiawatha,
How the dafly legislators
Have been jumpin' onto kissin'?
Have you seen the resolutions
Introduced by them to throttle
Or discourage osculation?
Years ago, when Minnehaha
Was a maiden fair and graceful
| was often at the wigwam
OF her dad, the arrow-maker,
And you bet your Uncle Dudley
Just improved each shining moment
Like bee, | slipped the honey
From her rosy lips, and never
Overlooked bet, that s certain!
Now I'm growing old and hardened,
But have sweet recollections
OF the good old coy corner
In the arrow-maker's wigwam,
And don't begrudge to others
What l once was very fond of
I'm not like those hoary-headed
Senators who can no longer
Feel thrill of exultation
When their lips collide with others.
And who would therefore abolish
Oscillation altogether.
Never. Here's health to kissing,
Here's to Ella Wheeler Wilcox!'
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1903-05-01

get it together. Then you fasten it at
the top. Then loosen it at the bot
tom and button it from the top down.
When you have got it all fastened, lift
the body upward inside the corset not
enough to be uncomfortable, but just
enough to get the stomach in and the
chest loose and full and free" 1t is
evident from these minute instruc.
tions that the straight-front" is al.
most as intricate a machine to handle
as a forty horsepower automobile.
Possibly it may be equally dangerous,
but that must be left to the future and
to the dress.makers to determine.
But sufficient to the day. A corset,
curved or straight, is from every point
OF view, to the male mind, a thing OF
beauty and a joy forever, and thanks
to the corset convention the Twentieth
century man knows more about it
than did all his progenitors.
