PROCEEDINGS IN
NATIONS CONGRESS
DOings Of the Lawmakers in the SEN
ate and the House of
Representatives.

Washington, Dec 9-The senate
held only a short session and adjourned
until Monday. An attempt to secure
consideration of the pure food bill was
defeated. Tillman asked for a report
from the committee ON judiciary as
to the status of recess appointments,
including that of William D. Crum.
The annual fight on the civil service
commission was begun in the house
during consideration-which occupied
the whole seSsion-Of the legislative
appropriation bill, Bartlett of Georgia,
Hepburn and Grosvenor leading the
fight. Nothing came of it except a
refusal to increase the pay of the clerk
of the commissioner.
Washington, Dec 1O.-The house
yesterday passed the legislative, exc
cutive and judicial appropriation bill
practically as it came from committee,
and adjourned until Monday. Through
out the session the policy of retrench-
ment held full sway and all attempts
to increase salaries failed. The house
passed a resolution to adjourn on Dec.
Fl until Jan. 4, 1905, for the usual
Christmas holiday.
Washington, Dec. 13.-The senate
had under consideration the pure food
and Philippine government bills. De-
bate on the forme< was confined to
calling attention to the inadequacy of
the protection accorded the people of
the United States against impure foods
and drugs. Not much progress was
made ON either bill. An executive ses-
sion was held.
The house transacted quite a large
amount of miscellaneous business,
starting with pension bills and consid-
ering the Hill financial bill later in the
day. A number of bills of local char
acter was passed. The bill transferring
the forest reserves from the depart
ment of the interior to the agricultural
department was passed.

naturally the first name on the list OF
suhpoenas is ANDREW Carnegie
Only one bank has been hit hard
enough to fail-the Citizens National,
Oberln-and President Beckwith. of

We're each to receive Il yearly salary of
$4,000 for their services. and that an
additional bonus of $4,000 was to be
paid to the bank when the loans were
repaid. On this promise. without even
telegraphing Carnegie to ask him
about his signature to the notes, the
two officers let Mrs. Chadwick have
the money that broke the bank.
1t is the opinion Of some Of the lead
ing attorneys of Cleveland that
charge of forgery cannot be made to
hold in connection with these notes.
Mrs. Chadwick has not sold or attempt
ed to sell the notes for cash. She has
obtained money from various sources
on the statement of Iri Reynolds that
She, to the best of his knowledge and
belief held securities of certain val
ue, and whether he proves correct or
otherwise in his estimate of the value
of the notes there can be no doubt that
Reynolds believed what he said.
There has. been, according to the at
torneys, no evidence so far elected
showing that Mrs Chadwick obtained
money on these notes in any other
manner than through the attestatiOn of
Fri Reynolds that he had seen the notes
and considered them good. If any man
loaned money to Mrs. Chadwick accord
ing to the strength of his belief in the
ability of Mr.. Reynolds to judge accu-
rately of the value of securities, that
was his own lookout.

One of Poe's Experiences.

Poe, one night during those last

this personal experience, adding that

II was living in Philadelphia during
the epidemic of the cholera there. All

faint and sick within me. Late one
evening, on coming home after one Of

down and with a thousand pictures Of
suffering and death dancing hideously
before my eyes, lay upon the bed In

that black bird like a raven came
into the room and perched over the
door. j asked what 1t was. The bird

Giant NettIes.

The giants of the nettle family are.
first, the Urtica stimuans and Urtica
crenulata of the East Indies, species
whose attack upon ones hand is suffi-
cient to cause the arm to swell with q
most frightful pain, which lasts for
weeks. But even these are milk and
water nettles by comparison with the
Urtica urentissima which grows in
Timor where it bears the significant
title of Daoun setan. or DEVILS leaf.
The effects of it's sting last for year
and have often produced death.

Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick has increased
al a rapid rate. She was twice in
dicted for forgery by the grand jury
of Cuyahoga county, and her oldtime
friend Iri Reynolds, took the stand in
court and made evident his intention to
shield and protect her no longer. The
formal indictments voted against Mrs
Chadwick are based, one upon the Car
negie note for $250,0OO. which was
made payable at the office of Andrew
Carnegie in New York city, and the
other upon the Carnegie note for $780,
600. which was payable, at the National
