A HIDDEN TORTURER.
DEATH PREFERABLE TO THE
AGONY BORNE BY Mr.. C0YLe.
Three Years of Excruciating Neu.
raIgia Terminated by Six
Boxes of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.

The pity of the modern world has
always been stirred by tales of the
sufferings of the wretched victims in
the torture chambers once connected
with courts of justice. The very sight
of gruesome collection of pincers,
tongs, thumbscrews and racks, used
ages ago, awes curious spectators and
makes them Cremblo with living hor-
ror. While such cruelties survive
now only among savage races, men
still suffer from agonies of disease so
intense that they can find no terms
fit to describe them save words like
torture and Track. - which call
up wildly tho barbarities of the out
grown past. The unhappy victims
sometimes, as in the case which fol-
lows, faint with the exhaustion of IN
tense pain, and even long for death to
hasten and end snfferings which they
have appealed so long in vain to men
to relieve. All help that comes from
! drugs that deaden pain for brief sea-
son is only mockery, for the short res
pites are always followed by more ter
| rible agony.

Washington, San 10. -Gapresenta-
tive Haskins of Vermont has intro-
duced in the House bill amending
section 1891 and 1882 of the revised
statntes, relative to bribe takiHg by
Congressman, MIR Haskins made a
stirring speech in the House yesterday
in defense of the provisions for suf-
frage as laid down by Vermont laws
and Constitution, in reply to Repre-
sentative Harwick of Georgia, who
sarcastically and somewhat bitterly
referred to the same. "by which citi-
zens of quiet and peaoeable behavior
and who have the appreciation OF the
board of civil authorities snail alone
be permitted to vote.'' Mr.. Haskins
quoted from Vermont Statutes and
the Constitution in his reply and said
that the basis of suffrage was manhood
and the freeman's oath
He then showed clearly how the
speaker of the previous day had con.
ouuded the safeguard surrounding the
administering of the treeman's oath
by the board of civil authority and
the law which states the voting re-
strictions. His remarks we're warmly
applauded.

VERMONTvS VAR CLAIM

Washington, d. c., Jan. 2S.-Hon.
Kittridge HaskiLs of Vermont, a men,
Der of the House committee on war
claims, has been authorized by that
committee to make favorable report
on Senator Proctor's bill providing
for the final settlement Of the claim of
the State of Vermont against the
United States in respect to ordnance
and quaItermasters stores furnished
in the years 1864 and 1865. This
practically insures the passage of the
act by the House and thereby the
treasury of Vermont will be enriched
to the extent OF $155, 453. 56
The deficiency appropriation bill,
approved July 1, 1902, contained an
appropriation of $3.50. 453. Sc in favor
of the State of Vermont to pay the
claim of that State, under the act of
July 81, 1861, for interest paid on it's
war bonds Of that appropriation
there has been paid the sum of $780,
900, and the balance has been held by
the secretary OF the treasury because
of claim of the United States against
the State of Vermont for approximate
ly $3.50, 600, arising out of the sale by
the State of certain ordnance and
ordnance stores furnished by the
United states near the close of the
Civil War for arming an extraordinary
militia force for the defense of the
| Vermont frontier.
i In offset to this Vermont claimed
reimbursement for about the same
sum for clothing, blankets and other
quartermaster stores purchased by the
State for this militia force, which it
claimed the United States ought to
have furnished and in fact agreed to
furnish. Vermont has been DESTROYS
/ Of settling all these claims arising out
of the organizing of it's extraordinary
militia force at that time. AS long
ago as November II, 1886, the YER
mont Legislature duly authorized the
proper officers of the State to adjust
and settle all these claims between
the State and the United States upon
just and equitable principles and, if a
balance was found due the United
States to draw orders therefor upon
the State treasury.
| When the balance which is about to
be paid was held up by the treasury
department. the matter was referred to
the attorney general and his decision
was favorable to Vermont. Secretary
Shaw then recommended that Con-
gress authorize him to make final
settlement of the claim, and the pas
sage of Senator Proctor's bill in the
Senate, coupled with the successful
work of Congressman Haskins in the
House committee, assures the adjust
ment of the matter at an early date.
I The House committee on war claim
has also authorized Mr. Haskins to re-
port favorably the bill .refunding to
Benjamin Burrows of Bloomington
the $500 Communication paid IN by him
under the draft of 1868. In this case
it has since been proved that Mr.. Bur-
rows was not liable to the draft be-
cause of physical disability.
