" hired girl to mind the ehil- dren and to do whatever else she could. 1 couldn't stay in bed long. Sick as 1 was, it was easier for me to crawl around than to lie and worry about my little ones. So I got up after few days, and let the girl go. I had noticed that she had sores on her face, hands and arms, but paid no attention to that until Charlie, my youngest, began to pick and scratch himself. He was then ten months old, and the girl had paid more attention to him than to any of the others. Charlie was fret ful and cross, but as he was cutting teeth, l didn't think much of that. Even when rash broke out on his face 1 wasn't frightened, because everybody knows that that is quite common with teething babies. Sev- eral of my others had it when little, and l thought nothing about it.
 But the rash on Charities poor little face spread to his neck, chest, and back. I had never seen any thing quite like it before. The skin rose in little Jumps, and matter came out My baby's skin was hot, and how he did suffer He wouldn't eat, and night after night l walked the floor with him, weak as l was. Often l had to stop because I felt faint and my back throbbed with pain. But the worst pain of all was to see my poor little boy burning with those nasty sores.
 "I believed he had caught some disease from the girl, but some of the neighbors said he had eczema, and that is not catching, they told me. Yes, I gave him medicine, and put salves and things on him. l don't think they were all useless. Once in while the itching seemed to let up bit, but there was not much change for the better until a lady across the street asked me why I didn't try the Cuticura Remedies. I told her I had no faith in those things you read about in the papers. She said she didn't want me to go on faith nor even to spend any money at first. She gave me some Cuticura Ointment Il think the box was about half full = and a piece of Cuticura Soap. I followed

President Will Not Arbitratc.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-President
Roosevelt has declined the invitation
Of the allied powers to arbitra,e the
question as to whether they shall re-
ceive preferential treatment in the SET
Element OF their claims against Vene-
zuela over other creditor ations. He
reached this decision this evening and
instructed Secretary Hay to dispatch
a note to the British ambassador to
that effect. The matter, therefore,
now will be referred to the Hague tri.
bunal. This will result in the immedi-
ate raising of the blockade.
The administr alton, it was stated in
an official quarter, was unwilling TO
approve the effort of the British gov.
ernment to eliminate Minister Bowen
from the negotiations, and, moreover,
the president could not accept the in
invitation of the allies, even had he
been so disposed, without the con-
sent of Venezuela's negotiator, Mr..
Bowen, and this the allies did not OBJ
tain or request in their note of invita-
tiOn to the president.

Opposed to Mormon Senator,

WASHINGTON, Feb. o. Senator
Burrows, chairman of the committee
on privileges and elections, has re-
ceived a protest against seating of
Reed Smoot, as a senator from Utah
on the ground that he is an apostle of
the Mormon church and that as such
he should not represent the people of
Utah in the senate. The document is
Yoluminous and quotes literally from
sermons, speeches, and other Mormon
utterances showing the power of the
priesthood of the Mormon church over
all matters spiritual and temporal.
Senator Frye, as president pro TEN of
the senate, received a copy of the pro-
test. 1t was decided by Sen ators Bur.
rows and Frye not to present the pro.
test to the senate until Smoot's cre-
dentiaIs were presented when both
would be referred to the committee on
privileges and elections.

Smelter Matte as Baggage.

NoRTHPoRT, Wash, Feb. 5.-Geo.
r. Bartlett, who was formerly cigar
manufacturer in Whitehall, Mont.
was starting for Seattle, when his
trunk was held up by the baggemaster
on account of overweight. A custom
house inspector who searched the
trunk found it to be full of broken up
smelter matte worth about So, 900. The
smelter people were notified and swore
out search warrant, and the police
found the rich booty in Bartlett's
house.
He was arrested and held for pre-.
liminary hearing on Febru airy IA. The
bonds were fixed at So, 600, which Bart
lett has not been able to furnish.
Bartlett's arrest comes as sequel to
the cOnvictien of Peter Swanson on
the same charge a few weeks since.
The smelter MANA agers are making a
determined effort to breaking up m atte
stealing, from which they have been
heavy losers. Other arrests are
likely to follow.

HILL PREDICTS A CRISIS.
President Of Great Northern Takes .
Gloomy View of the Future.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-After briefly
discussing the anti. trust law and the
proposed department of commerce,
James j. Hill, president OF the North
ern Securities company, said:
''As labor unions killed Industrial
England, SO they are destined to bring
about grave financial reverse in the
United States, and the country is
swiftly approaching that crisis. 1t
may come in year: it may be defer
red till the presidential year, but it is
bound to come.'
Mr.. Hill tlatly denied, but depreci-
atingly, that the United States is the
leading manufacturing nation and is
rapidly gathering to its bosom the
markets of the entire world. This
misapprehension, he averred, is the
result of the fact that over one in
dustrial victory this country sets up a
louder shout than England and Ger
many and France makes over dozen.
'"There seems to be.too much conf
dence in the ability of the country to
walk right ahead of all other countries
in maufacturing," continued Mr.. Hill
1.-The country can do it, but not with
out trouble, and not without changing
its present course. 1t is, indeed, a
grave crisis we are approaching,
though few seem to appreciate it. A
few years may see the closing of many
factories and the throwing out of work
hundreds of thousands of men. We
have been reaping the harvest and the
reverse is coming. How quickly we
recover from it will depend largely on
who is at the head of the country when
the break comes.'

TRUSTS FIGHT THE PRESIDENT.
Desperate Efforts to Block Legislation
Against Oppressive Combines.

WASHINGTON, Feb. SIT can be
stated on authority that unless the
antitrust legislation at least reason
ably satisfactory to the administra-
tion is enacted by the present con-
gress, President Roosevelt on the 5th
of March, will call an extra session
of the Fifty-eighth congress-. 1t is
further stated that the determination
OF the president was reached only af-
ter consideration of the strenuous eff
forts being made to defeat any anti
trust legislation by congress. These
efforts have covered a wide range.
They were characterized today by one
prominent republican leader, to quote
him directly, as "the most rem ark able
which | have ever personally known
during my public life.''
These efforts culmin ated during the
past thirty-six hours, it is now declar.
ed, in direct appeals from the Stand

dent, John D. Rockefeller, to members

legislation at this time.
Yesterday morning one of the coun.
sci for the Standard Oil company ar
rived in Washington and called i'm.
mediately on members of the senate.
He did not remain long. Scarcely
had he made known his business when
he was informed bit curtly that his
presence here was undesirable, and he
left with an intimation that he would
return to New York.
During the afternoon information
concerning the recei pit of the messages
leaked out and became the subject of
some darkroom discussion at the sen.
ate. The news also reached the house,
some of the prominent representatives
learning the gist of the dispatches.
Then it became known that this was
not the. first time the Stand ard Oil
company, through its lawyers, had
endeavored to influence legislation in
congress at this session. The attor.
neys for the company, it is said, had
opposed vigorously the enactment OF
the measures submitted by Attorney
General Knox to the subcommittee of
the house judiciary committee.
