of the most effective uses of
Scott's Emulsion it builds
up the strength Of the whole

healthy, vigorous condition.
Weak lungs, throat troubles
or bronchial affections get
more positive help and relief
from SCOTS Emulsion than
from any other source.
Cod liver oil itself IS very
scarce just now; cheap adul-
terations and mixtures of
inferior oils are offered every

This is why SCOTS Emul-

Representative Maynard Of Norfolk Is
doubtless the most active man in be-
half of the exposition, and has already
this session taken delegation of mem
bers Of the House 90 Norfolk TO attend
and address 4 meeting he'd for the pur-
pose of advancing the exposition pro-
ject. What sum viii De asked Of Con-
gress is not yet stated. The State Of
Virginia has already appropriated $780,

amount. and il is confidently expected
all of the original thirteen States will
cheerfully respond to an invitation to
take part in the exposition.

Police Take Action on A. 3. McMIl-
 Ian,s Bereavement.

The committee from the Police Relief association. appointed to draft resolutions son the death of Mrs, A. B. McMillan and infant son last week, has made the fol- lowing report:
 Death Is the dreaded enemy of mortals, and while we all know that he will some day, we know not when, not only come to our homes but will also summon each of us to give up our house of clay, yet when he invades the sacred precincts of the home of one of our own mem- bers, and takes from 1t mother and child at one fell stroke, following so closely upon the death of the child's twin sister, our hearts are touched to their very core of sympathy while we drop a tear of fellow feeling with our brother, A. B. McMillan, in the irreparable loss of his wife and child, which occurred April 6, 1905
 Therefore, be it resolved, by this asso- citation, That we take this method of ex- pressing to him what we all feel in this sad hour of his great bereavement.

A GREAT POKER GAME.
1t Was Played in the Woods and Was
 cInch for One Man.

From the New York World.
 Mayor Burns of Fort Lee, N. J., is in- vestisating complaint about a poker game on log in the Fort Lee woods and a s2OO Jackpot gathered in by a supposed bogus marshal Two of those who played are wealthy men on a visit from Florida, whose names Mayor Burns refused to make public unless the swindlers are caught. This is the story one of them told the mayor:
 We were standing in front of Grants tomb in New York when a stranger stepped up and asked for light. I gave him a match and the three of us got into conversation. We walked along, and final ly the stranger suggested that we go across the ferry to see the new park at Fort Lee.
 Not having any special place to go we accepted the invitation, and across the ferry we went We took trolley car to the park and walked around for fully a half hour. Two men came along while we were sitting on a bench. They also sat down and we were all soon talking. The five of us in a little while left the park and strolled toward the woods.
 -As it was fine day we sat down on log, and one of the strangers suggested a game of poker. We said we would play and a game was started on a log. At first my friend and I won, and finally there was big jackpot with over $200 on the log. We were more or less excited s"I opened the pot and at that moment a man stepped from behind tree holding a revolver and showing a marshals S badge. All five of you are under arrest, he said.
 Before we got over the surprise the marshal scooped the $200 and told us to march ahead of him. When we got to the park again he told us to stay where we were until he returned. as he was going to see if the justice was al home. As soon as he left the three strangers who were with us said they were going to vamoose and started toward Fort Lee. We went to a nearby hotel and told the bartender what had happened. He told us to go to Mayor Burns, and we did SO.
 The same vicinity has been the scene of many other swindles the victims being always strangers picked up at Grant's s Tomb and induced to cross the ferry.

organization of the house. With this end in view the minority will insist that the speaker give them the right to choose their committee membership as Is now done in the senate. Under the present rules the speaker does not feel bound to accept any of the suggestions of the mi- nority leader. Through custom he usual ly appoints the minority leader to the ways and means committee and the rules committee, but the minority Is powerless if the speaker chooses to appoint It's leader to expenditures in the interior de- partment.
 It is claimed by the democrats that the last speaker deliberately weakened the democratic side by consulting his own personal wishes entirely, thus leaving the democrats to make the best of anything the speaker chose to deal out to them. The democrats contend that not only will their side be strengthened, but the house as a body will show improvement if the recommendations of the minority be car- ried out It is not known what Repre- sentative Cannon of Illinois. the next speaker thinks of the proposition, but the impression Is gaining ground that he will give the minority more latitude in committee selections than they have ob- tained from any other republican speaker in recent years.
