WANTED TO EXCLUDE HIM.
Newspaper Reporter Was Aimed at
by a Resolution.

Tallahassee, Fla, May %. - A
regular tempest in a teapot" was
brought about yesterday morning by
Mr.. Rivers, who introduced a resolu-
ton to expel the reporter of the Jack
sonville Metropolis from the privileges
of the floor for a term of three days,
on account of an article which appear
ed in that paper, rejecting upon Gen.
Gilchrist, Hon. John P. Wall and Mr..
Rivers. Gen. Gilchrist stated that there
was not a word of truth in the article
referred to- He was of the opinion that
three days expulsion from the House
would be an extremely light punish
ment
St. Clair Abrams, made a strong
plea against the resolution. He thought
it was the province of the newspapers
to criticise the actions of public serV-
ants, and did not think the reporter
should be expelled for a simple pleas
antry. The resolution was lost by a
vote of 81 to %.
An important change in the constitu-
ton of the state that will be referred
to the voters at the next election is one
the passage of which was secured by
Gen. Gilchrist Section l of Article TX
1.-THE Legislature shall provide for a
uniform and equal rate of taxation on
all property, both real and personal"
Gen. Gilchrist's amendment, the eff
feet to which was to strike out the
words, both real and personal" will
be of far-reaching consequence. At
the time the constitution was framed
intangible and incorporeal substances,
such as franchises, We're not considered
property, either real or personal, and
could not be taxed. The change makes
it possible for all franchises to be taxed
according to their actual money-earn-
ing values, by making SUCH franchises
property, and placing a property value
upon them. The House passed the
measure by vote of 4S to o, and as
there is a strong sentiment all over the
state to tax franchises, there is no
doubt concerning the concurrence of
the Senate in the proposed amend
ment,

MEAL TIME CONSCIENCE
what Do the Children Drink,

There are times when mother or
father feeds the youngsters something
that they know children should
not have. Perhaps it is some rich des-
sert but more often it is tea or coffee
Some compromise by putting in so
much hot water that there is not
much tea or coffee left, but even that
little is pretty certain to do harm. 1t
leads to bigger doses. Then come the
coffee ills.

TRIALS AT VALDOSTA.
Interesting Cases in the LOwndes
Superior Court.

Valdosta, Ga, May %. - One
of the most interesting cases in
the Superior Court was one against a
white man named George Hall, charged
with stealing cattle in the northern
part of the county. The jury remain
ed out all night on his case and at noon
a mistrial was declared. A white man
named Rufus Rocks was convicted of
hog-stealing from an old negro woman
in the Ousley district. His sentence
has not been announced yet.
Another lively case was that against
Justice N. A. Zipperer of the Clyatte-
Vile district The justice was arraign-
ed on the charge of shooting at anoth-
er, and the evidence indicated that two
young men from this city who drifted
over the fence around his woods while
out hunting were his targets. He had
his rife and was blazing away at them
in regular sharpshooter style. The
young men saw him and saved them
selves by lodging behind trees. He
was presented to the grand jury and
true bill was secured. He was con-
victed at this session, but the jury re-
quested that he be punished as for
misdemeanor. His sentence will be
fixed Tomorrow.

P0SToFFICE JANITOR
GETS INTO TROUBLE,

Augusta, May 2S.-Alexander Sher-
man, the negro janltor of the post
office, is in trouble. A warrant has
been sworn out, charging him with
pilfering the mail.
He was reprimanded by Postmaster
Smythe for neglect of duty some time
ago, and a second time was told that
unless there was Improvement he
would be reported to Washington and
his removal recommended. This course
was finally pursued, and it is charged
that Sherman's anxiety to see what
was being written to Washington
about him led him to open a letter
from Postmaster Smythe to the negro
politician, Judson Lyons, in Washing
ton city.
Sherman denies his guilt. A most

Tired Women, Run Down, Weary
and Weak, Morning, Noon
and Night.

If one were to ask all the nervous,
fretted, jaded, fagged-out women who
work day after day, hardly able to keep
on their feet-if person were to ask
them what their trouble was, one would
say dyspepsia, another nervous prostra-
ton, another female weakness, and so
on.
all have the same disease, and that dis
ease is chronic catarrh.
Thousands of people have chronic ca
tarrh and do not know it.
They realize that they are sick, but
they do not suspect their disease is
chronic catarrh.
If they have catarrh of the stomach,
they call it dyspepsia; if they have gen.
eral catarrha! debility, they call it
nervous prostration; if they have ca
tarrh of the liver or kidneys, they say
they are bilious or have kidney disease;
and If they have catarrh of the pelvic
organs they name it female weakness.
The truth is, all these organs are sub
ject to catarrh, and the land is full of
toiling women, half invalids, who have
chronic catarrh in some stage or form
of some of these organs.
Women from all parts OF the United
States bear testimony to the fact that
Peruna cures catarrhal diseases.

Dalmatian Deputies Will Not BE Re-
ceived by the Emperor.

Vienna, May 23.-The Dalmatian
deputies, whose object is to induce
Emperor Francis Joseph to intervene
and prevent further bloodshed in Gro
alta, arrived here to-day and found
their mission hopeless. DIR. Won Koer-
ber the Austrian premier, informed
them that he was unable for constitu-
tional reasons to ask the Emperor to
receive them.
The refusal to grant the Dalmatian
deputies an audience of the Emperor
is likely to bring forth heated discus
sion at to-day's sitting of the Reichs-
rath.
To-day's report from Agram indicate
that the situation there is quieter. The
prisons cannot accommodate the num-
Der of arrested persons, and the mill

New York, May 23.-The body of
CARRIED M. Kentvoni, a Turkish Ar
menian from Kharput, was found to-
day in Thirtieth street tenement, al
most decapitated by knife cut across
the throat. There were also nine stab
wounds on the chest and body, a cut
on the back of the neck and one on
the back of the head.
1t was at first thought Kentvoni had
committed suicide, but the surgeons
said none of the wounds could have
been self-inficted. The police are now
working on the theory of robbery and
murder. Two broken chairs in the room
told the story of a struggle. A trunk
had been opened and searched, the tray
with papers lying on the floor with
three bloodstained knives. Kentvoni
was a recluse and is said to have been
