POLITICAL.

The Biglows Of Pittsburg were il
Washington, last week, and induced
Senator Quay to take hand in the ap
pointment of w. " Campbell, a brother
in-law of County Recorder O'Neil, as
postmaster Of McKeesport, though Con
gressman Acheson had recommended the
re-appointment of Mr. Harrison.
Quay is reported as saying to the
Biglows:
I'm go along on almost anything you
suggest. but you've got to harmonic
out there. This thing can't go on much
longer. It's gone on too long already,
and the whole western half of the State
is demoralized There will be guerrillas
in every county if you don't stop soon. .
State Chairman Quay has issued a
call for the State Convention to met in
Harrisburg on Wednesday, May 27th,
to nominate candidates for State Treas
urer, Auditor General and two for
Superior Judge.
Auditor General Hardenburg is q
candidate for State Treasurer though
it is reported that W. l.. Mathues is
slated for the place. Ex-state Senator
Meredith Of Kittanning is a candidate
for Auditor General.

nervous, anxious, sleepless and gener-
ally miserable, her child will be weak
and fretful.
How reasonable this is. The child
can have no strength which the mother
does not give it, and how can the weak
mother, who has not enough strength
for herself have anything to spare for
her babef
THE FAIRY CoD-MoTHRR
is a very pretty invention. But the real
fairy god-mother is the natural mother
of the child 1t is she who must endow
her child with health from which
springs all other endowments desirable
for humanity.
The way to have healthy children is
to be healthy. But how to be healthy
Is the vexing question for women. Is
the mother to blame because she is nerv-
Gus, because her appetite fails and her
strength wanes, because she is sleepless
and despondentl One cannot blame the
woman whose only failing is that she does
not know how to change her condition.
Yet a woman's health is practically In
her own control If she is weak she can
be made strong. If she is sick she can
be made we'll. The experience of other
women shows that the rose of mother
hood can be stripped of its thorns by the
use Of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

object being to prevent the Republican
majority from controlling the city and
electing Representatives to Congress
The law appears to work well enough
out there, but in Washington Congress
takes a hand in the matter.
In the Senate last Friday Senator
Blackburn, of Kentucky, made bid for
fame by pressing the Littlefield
anti trust bill for consideration and
every Republican Senator except Nc
Comas and Wellington, of Maryland,
and Nelson, of Minnesota, lined up
against the motion to take up the bill
and it was defeated by a vote of 81 to
%. Senator Quay voted against the
consideration of the bill. but pleaded to
be excused from voting on the bill it
self because he owned stock in corpor-
alton which might be regarded as
trust. The Senate then went to work
and passed the naval and one or two
other appropriation bills. Later there
was an executive session, wherein Sena-
tor Morgan, of Alabama, continued his
apparently interminable argument
against the Panama treaty. Despite the
hopeful feeling entertained by some
Republican leaders that both this and
the Cuban treaty might be acted upon
before adjournment. the apprehension
grew that an extra session OF the
Senate would be necessary.
In the House the Republicans put an
end to Democratic filibustering
by adopting the two rules reported TO
the House by Representative Dalzell.
The Democrats fought as long as they
could, but were finally forced to the
wall by the solid Republican strength
of the House. They were in ugly mood
and jeered when Representative Con
non, of Illinois, said in his old-fashioned
way: Now, boys, quit it; stop this
foolishEess and let us attend to these
great public supply bills in rational
way" Nevertheless they had to submit
to the inevitable. Two very important
results neither of any party value to
the Democrats, but. an the contrary, OF
great disadvantage to them-attend
their action in filibustering. The first
is that large number of bills such as
claims. pensions, bills for the erection
af bridges and altering and adding to
terms of the United States courts, all OF
interest to their respective localities and
to those who introduced them, would OF
necessity fail The second and most
important is that under the rule adopt
ed concurrence will be forced upon con-
ference reports on appropriation bills
with all the amendments put in them

all how are afflicted will do as have
done and be cured"
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a
perfect medicine for women. II estab-
fishes regularity, dries the drains which
weaken women, heals inflammation and
cures female weakness. It Is the best
preparative for maternity, strengthening
the nerves, encouraging the appetite and
inducing refreshing sleep. It gives the
mother strength to give her child and
make the baby's advent practically pain
less.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Tuesday night Senator Tillman Of
South Carolina threatened to block the
Naval Appropriation and General Def
cheney bills until his states claim for
$47,245 was paid
The two new u. $. Senator'S from
Delaware, one an Addicks man and the
other regular, were sworn in and took
their seats, Tuesday. That state has
been unrepresented in the Senate for
four years.
On Tuesday the bill appropriating
800, 900 to purchase site for public
building in Butler passed both Houses,
and now awaits the Presidents sigma
ture.
Senator Quay leaves for Florida, to
day,
'Filibustering" was in the air in
Washington last eek The Democrats
of the House tried it on, Thursday, their
grievance being the attempt by the Re
publicans to unseat Representative But
ler, Of st. Louis. Mr.. Butler, who was
unseated, has had the somewhat unique
distinction Of being perhaps the only
man who was ever turned twice out Of
the same Congress. Just before ad-
journment last June his seat wae de-
clared vacant on account Of alleged
frauds at the election in 1900, but the
Republican contestant was not seated
the House merely holding that no legal
election had been held. Last fall Mr.
Butler was chosen to the vacancy caused
by the action OF the House and also for
the full term beginning on March A.
Although he had about 6,000 plurality,
his Republican opponent made a con
test. and was adjudged entitled to the
seat. The whole trouble grew out Of
the Infamous Nisbet election law, pass
ed by Democratic Legislature for the
Republican city Of st. Louis alone, the

The Changeling Child.
The Scientific Explanation of
the Change Formerly At
tributed to the Fairies.

In folk lore stories there is frequent
mention of changelings children who
were changed by fairy influence. Some
loving wife and proud husband found
their child weak of body, and some
times weak of mind. It grew up to
be fretful, sullen and perhaps spiteful.
It seemed impossible that love could
bring such child into the world.
So the child was called fairy change
ling, a child substituted by the fairies
for one whom in their envy for its lovli-
ness they had carried away.
We hear no more of fairy stories.
Stern science says that healthy and
lovely children must have healthy par
ents, and that when the mother in her
DAYS of waiting and anticipation is

HARRISBURG.

On Wednesday of last week Governor
Pennypacker sent in his first veto. The
axe was applied TO bill Of Representa-
tive Mansfield, Of Beaver, 1t authorized
boroughs to sell land granted them by
the Commonw ealth for the purpose of
providing water supply, where such
lands have ceased to be useful. He
holds that since the State has the claim,
it should be consulted.
The House was on its dignity that
morning. The, Senate had passed n
resolution withdrawing from the Gov
ernor bill relating to fees Of tipstaves,
which had originated in the House and
the House took offense, claiming that
the resolution to recall should have first
been adopted by that body. 1t there
fore refused to concur by unanimous
vote. Mr.. Balhathaser reported favor
ably the bill for the protection of bull
frogs and terrapin.
The State cash box Is not, just at
present in danger, for between it and
the demands upon it stand the House
and Senate appropriation committees,
the Senate and House and Governor
Pennypacker's veto axe, but the call
upon it for appropriations are so alarm
ingly large that Chairman Bliss, of the
House appropriation committee, was
constrained to Issue statement show
ing how utterly impossible it will be to
comply with all the requests made for
State cash.
The committee finds that there has
been a total CT S41 ,J01, ,6S503 in appro-
priations asked for in the next tgo
years, while the State financial officers
estimate the revenue for the two years
to meet appropriations at $31 900, 900, OF
80, 900, 900 less than the demands thus
far made.
The demands are sub divided as fol
lows: General appropriation bill, S15,
235, 097.60. Additional salaries of judges
should proposed act pass $292, 541 CT
Indefinite amounts in general appropri
alton bill, 81 1,2G5,477.
Rebuilding bridges. $40O, 600; purchas,
Of forestry lands, $500, 900; extra appro
priation to public schools $500, 900; new
