Americas Nine National Capitals.

How many readers could tell off-hand
the number of national capitals this coun-
try's congress has set up, and give the
rames? Not many. probably. Well, there
have been nine of Washington, d.

Trenton and Princeton in New Jersey,

Pennsylvania and New York City. The
first session of the Continental con-
gress was held in Carpenters Hall,

Thereafter the American congress was
for long time something like
the Philippine congress while the
latter was lodging the American
troops-and for much the same reason.
Fearing to remain in Philadelphia after
the defeat on Long Island. cangress went
to Baltimore and voted George Washing
ton dictatorial powers for six months.
Congress returned to Philadelphia two
months later, February p. I'LL Lancas-
ter and York got their sessions after the
defeat at Brandywine, congress again re-
treating. Nine months the Lawmakers
remained In York; news of Burgoyne's
surrender was received there. Then six
months in New York and another term in
Philadelphia. Menaced by unpaid troops,
congress went over to New Jersey. Ses-
sions were held in Princeton college libra
ry. Annapolis next, where General Wash
ington resigned his commission. Trenton
had a trial then, with Henry Lee as
President. Here Lafayette took leave of
his American allies.

that he has not been in the cast in every

ABoLlsHINe HUMAN SUFFERING.
Important Additions Which Have Been
Made to Curative Agencies.
From I.eslie's Weekly.

From Leslie's Weekly.
The current year promises to be nota-
BILE, among other things for the import
ant additions which it will make 10 med
ical science and to curative agencies in
general While the wonderful work ac-
complished by DR.. Lorenz may, perhaps.
hardly fall within the class thus indicat-
ed, the stimulus which the famous Vien-
nese surgeon has given to effort along his
particular line will undoubtedly help to
make the year additionally memorable in
the dimnution of human suffering.
Among the positive announcements of the
year thus far i'm the direction of med
zeal discoveries may be included that OF
a serum cure for hay fever, made by
Professor Dunbar American head Of the
Hamburg HYGIENE Institute. While hay
fever is not to be regarded as a fatal dis
ease, il is a most distressing malady, and
If anything can be devised to cure it a
great boon will be conferred upon the hui
man race.
OF far greater Importance is the an
nouncement that probable cure has
been discovered for blood-poisoning, a
malady which carries off a large number
of people each year and which has hith-
erto resisted, in many cases, the best
medical skill. Recent experiments with
formalin in hospitals in New York and
elsewhere seem to show that this agency
may be relied upon in many cases to ar
rest the process known as blood-poisoning
and effect a permanent cure. If this
proves to be the case, it will be, as one
high medical authority has truly said,

DIR. J. H. Mcknight has received a dis
patch from the state health officer, stat
ing that there were some suspicious cases,

structed him to quarantine at once

to receive no passengers coming out of

Both the United States and Mexican
governments have sent experts to Tor
reon to make a thorough investigation
and determine if the bubonic plague real
ly exists in that city. 1t is feared that
the plague being in a city connected by
rail with the entire country, will spread
rapidly and in the event of this hap
pening, the entire border will be quar-
antined and all communication with the

The general deficiency bill was taken
up early In the senate today and the sem
ate amendments relating to the assign
ments, sales and transfers and claims be-
fore the Spanish treaty claims commits
sion and limiting the fees and expenses
of attorneys, was stricken out on point
of order by Mr. Pettus.
The committee amendments were agreed
to, as was an amendment providing that
claims for rebates on tobacco and snuff
shall not be paid unless presented prior
to April /. 1903.
The amount appropriated for the pay
ment of the claims was increased to
$40, 900.
: Mr.. Tillman criticised the appropriation
of 100000 for printing for the department

New York
The delightful comedy was presented
last night at the Jefferson to a house not
at all equal in size to the merits of the
play, for it was jolly from start to finish
without bit of coarseness in it--just a
rolliclsing society comedy. absolutely
clean throughout.
The plot is simple. Frank Perry and
his father-in-law Amos Bloodgood, both
insist that they have Joined the Masons,
when in fact neither ever saw the inside
of lodge. The complications and en-
barrassments that arise In consequence
of pretensions to Masonry are simply of
side-splitting nature.
1t Is difficult to say who of the COM
pany is the best when all fill their parts
admirably. John c. Rice as Frank
Perry" is mirth-provoking, and the
judgment would be In his favor If Thos.
A. Wise as Amos Bloodgood' had not
come on the stage. They are a great
pair of fun makers, indeed and George
Richards as John HaIton,'' an upstate
farmer, is great in makeup and In act
ing Amy Muller as Mrs. Perry" had
all the vlvacity her part calls for. The
entire company is an admirable one. and
If the theatre goers of this town desire
to see real comedy in which there is
no offense-no shock to any mind or
heart-they should go today to the JEFF
ferson. The play will be repeated at the
matinee. and again tonight. Every sit
uation is full of merriment and there
is not blush in it for even the most
sensitive.

Their statements of Mr.. McLaurin, gave
expression to his views on the subject of
ilibustering. II will say to the author of
this BILL" said he, facing Mr.. Aldrich,
that he might as well withdraw" He
said there was no more chance for 1t to
pass the senate than for the statehood
bill to rise out of its shallow grave and
become a law.
You have no one to blame But your
selves" said he, facing the republican
side when senators on the democratic
side mistake and retaliate by filibustering
against the Aldrich bill, it comes with
bad grace to complain.
He said that unless the practice Of fill
clustering against every bill is dscor-
tinued the American people will compel
the senate to change its rules.

no fllibustering On the statehood bin
there would have been no hiibustcrng

Clay Makes Vigorous Speech.

Sldy MdhcS Vigorous opccCn
Mr.. Clay of Georgia made a vigorous
speech. saying Mr.. Baily had no right to
charge flibustering to men who opposed
the Aldrich bill. He pointed out that not
to exceed eight hours debate had been
given to this important measure He said
the men who had prevented a vote on the
statehood bill were responsible for the
failure to have more time for this bill.
Mr.. TiIlman was recognized and con-
vulsed the senate by saying that 'the
democratic party had been buncoed by
the most astute politician in the United
States, and that is Mathew Stanley
Quay" He said that all but two demo-
Gratis had been led by Mr. Quay to sup
port the statehood bill, which he believed
had been used for the purpose of prevent
ing antitrust legislation. In reply Mr..
Quay declared that he did not put the
statehood bill forward to keep back trust
legislation.
Then the senator from Pennsylvania
has been buncoed by the senator from
Rhode Island remarked Mr. Tillman,
causing renewed laughter.
"The senator from Rhode Island" re-
marked Mr.. Quay, has been lurking
very much In the background"
Mr.. Patterson (Colorado). member Of
the committee on territories, vehemently
excepted to the statement that the men,
bers of the committee were dupes
He declared there had been no flibus-
tering
II shall not transgress the facts re-
piled Mr.. Aldrich, when I say that there
is no intention of discussing this bill on
its merits"
Mr.. Patterson Makes Denial.
Mr.. Patterson denied this and said
every speech made OH the democratic
side tended to elucidate the hideousness
of this measure.
Mr.. Carmack contended that 1t was
legitimate to adopt obstructive tactics at
this late day on bill of such import
ance. while Mr.. Aldrich said that in the
midst of the torrent Of resentment Mr..
Carmack's remark was refreshing.
There is none of us here he said, be
ing deceived by what is being done. 1t
is a great misfortune to the business IN
terests of the country"
Mr.. Aldrich said he knew 1t was APP
parent that senators who were intending
TO talk the financial bill 90 death were
doing so because he and others who
thought with him, assisted in defeating

not prepared outside of the finance COM

me- he said, land If the bill is defeated
the country should know who is RESPONSE
