Amendment changing date of Congress to the week in which April 19 occurs, passed Amendments providing for a change in the basis of representa- ton were all lost and the law remains as 1t has been for the past few years.
 No change was made in the matter of dues or the proportion to be sent to the National Society by the Chapters. Amendment to Article VII. of the Con- stitution, viz.: 'In no city or town where one or more Chapters already exist no new Chapter shall be organized having less than fifty members" was defeated.
 The election of National officers pro duced little excitement, all the candidates were unknown to many of the delegates and during the nominations on all sides could be heard, Tell me who to vote for Il do not know the candidates and have no choice" We have reason to think
 however, that a competent Board was elected, and the officers will be as faith full as were their predecessors Reports of Chairman of Continental Hall Cou1- mittee, Mrs. Fairbanks, was very en- couraging and great enthusiasm prevailed as generous contributions poured in from states, nearly s12000 was received at the Congress. Reports of National Officers were little out of the ordinary from the fact that all went out of office this year and each gave report of her stew

 Gov. Garyin has fought for a pure bal- lot and an uncorrupted electorate since he has been in politics. When he was a candidate for Congress in 1894. and son other. occasions since, he asked his op- ponent to refrain from using money and to 20 honestly with him to- the voters. His message is one of the most remark able papers ever signed by a Stats zexec- utiye tsd in Ssrs its ot tee on the message today, the Governor said:
 .T"That bribery exists to great extent in the elections of this State is notorious. 1t will continue to exist until the men responsible are brought sharply to realize the harm they are doing. Year after year reputable men all over the State con- tribute funds to the campaign managers. that they are morally certain will ba., used to buy votes. They don't ask where, the money is cling. because they hRvas enough self-respect not to want to know. Some persons who are not in with the system and who are opposing the . machine think that the best and only way to overthrow Brayton (the Republi- can bos s) and his gang is by meeting bribe with bribe and giving bigger brtbes. Ths Senate saY get s contre of thst bribery and then effect the necessary res forms.
 q am opposed to such a plan, and wiE never give my consent to such methods What money we can get should be use4 to prevent bribery by either party. IL can be done when the reputable cittzen& of a town band themselves together to stop it. In South Kingston, not many years ago, an effectual plan was employ- ed The corruption had become so notos rious that a large committee of the besS men in town was formed. Only the chair3 man-he was MT. Thomas G. Hazard ! think-was known.
 "Early on the morning of election day, and soon after the voting began, he went to two or three of the first men to vots and procured from them affidavits that the had been bribed (the Rhode Island laws provide no punishment for men who take bribes; only for bribe-givers). and on that evidence the bribers were convicted and sent to jail As soon as 1t was spread abroad that an affidavit had been made the bribing ceased at once. and no more was attempted that day nor for several years afterwards.
 ''Only in 8 few of the country towns do the Democrats offer bribes. They do 1t just enough to get tarred with tne same stick as the Republicans, and to pug themselves in a position where they can be active in prosecuting bribery cases

SHE ESCAPED THE KNIFE.
Ten Months of Peace After Dreadful
 Suffering.

Operations are bee omiug fad: every young man, as soon as he is graduated from medical college, considers himself capable of undertaking the most serious and complicated surgical work, and hun dreds of lives are sacrificed annually to this mad frenzy of incompetent men, to rush into work which should only be un- dcrtaken as a last resort, and then only by the most experienced and careful sur geons.
 It is pleasure, in view of these facts to read the following letter from a woman who has been saved from one of these dangerous operations, " l know I should have informed you long ago regarding my ease of piles and the good done me, and ] believe l am cured Last December 1 sent for your book. l have never been bothered since then, md before 1 had suf- fered for the last eleven years, and at the time I wrote I had given birth to child and they came down with the de- livery of the child by the handful. could not get them back and l suffered everything; and the doctor said nothing but an uperatio would ever relieve me; but l read of your remedy in our daily newspaper and l told my husband to get me a box and I woul give it a trial be- fore consenting to the knife, and thanks be to your wonderful medicine, was saved from the operating taple
 Every person suffering from piles that my husband and myself hear of. we rec ommend your wonderful medicine. I just used one S1.0o box of Pyramid Pile Cure and two boxes of Pyramid Ointment and two boxes of Pyramid Pills, and I was, hope, completely cured.

Report of Proceedings of 18th Con-
 tinental Congress. D. A. R.

A truly inspiring sight was presented when at Il a. m., February g, Mrs. Fair banks. President General. D. A. R., sounded the gavel and called the Con- gross to order, composed of nearly 1,OOO delegates and alternates-the largest num- Der ever known at Congress.
 The President Generals annual address was heard with great interest and re- ceived marked and deserved applause. The review showed the Society to be in a prosperous and growing condition-3,730 members having been admitted since the last Congress.
 TEe first delay in the proceedings was caused by a "quibble" raised by Mrs. Draper of the District, on the right of State Vice-Regents to seats in the Con- gress in the absence of State Regents. She claimed there was no provision in the Constitution for seating them and gave notice she would challenge the vote of any State Vice-Regent present. she protested that her position was a mat ter of principle. but Congress was not of her opinion and voted against her. An interesting feature of the first days ses- sion was the presence of General War field, of the Society s. A. R., and other distinguished Sons who came to pre- sent to the D. A. R. a beautiful silken banner to float over the recently pur-
  speeches were brilliant and patriotic, but none were more so than that of Mrs. Mo Lean of New York. Hers was entirely extempore, but exceedingly appropriate and brought forth hearty, spontaneous and prolonged applause. The amendment making 1t lawful for the President-Gen- eral to be eligible to the office of two consecutive terms passed, as did the amendment to the amendment, which was xA amendment to make the Treasurer Gen eral eligible for Ie-electon was lost by a vote~to table and the faithful and pop ular Treasurer-General. Mrs, Darwin. went out of office with the 12th Congress. Amendment providing that ''only one Vice President from any State shall be nominated at same Congress and said candidate shall be the choice of majority of the delegates of her State" etc, passed. On motion of State Regent Congress voted to omit the reading of the State Regents Reports. as business of a more important nature was to be considered despite this, valuable hours were wasted in quiboling and useless dis cussion and talk. An amendment provid- ing for a Committee on Appeals" an- other for a State Board of Arbitration" another for "a Judicial Board" were all discussed and defeated, as neither suited the sentiment of the Congress. A motion to form committee of the three women proposing these amendments prevailed, who should propose substitute amend ment embodying the important features of each-a sort of composite resolution. This matter probably produced more dis cussion and consumed more time than any other brought before the Congress. and 1t remains to be seen if what re- suited will be for the best. The women showed how tired they were of tamper- ing with or changing the Constitution. as the amendment allowing amendments to
