four hours the senate, while technical
~ engaged OF the naval appropriation
bill. discussed a wide range of sub
jects, including the policy of the
United States in the Philippines and
the RussC-Japanese war. The princi-
pal participants were Senators Hale,
Bacon, Lodge, Depew, Patterson, Per-
kins and Money. Senator Hale, in
charge of the naval bill, criticised the
plans of the naval board as tending to
an establishment beyond the needs
of the country. Senators Lodge,
Depew and Perkins defended the
naval officers. The former declared
a large navy essential to the main
tenance of peace. Senator Money
said he did not consider the total ap-
preparation of $9700O,00O carried by
the bill excessive under our present
policy in the orient. He, however,
criticised that policy as did ether dem
ocratic speakers. The house resumed
consideration of the District of Col
umbia appropriation bill. During the
discussion much time was consumed
on the presidents entertaining Booker
T. Washington at dinner at the white
house and the allegation that former
President Cleveland had entertained
a colored man in the same manner
when president. Mr.. Webb of North
Carolina presented a note he had re-

Yorktown, Ark, March 7th.-DOdd's
Kidney Pills must not be COMPOUNDED
with the ordinary patent medicine.
They are a new discovery, specific
for all diseases of the Kidneys and
have been accepted by physicians only
after careful tests in extreme cases.
DR.. Leland Williamson, of this place,
heartily endorses DOd1's Kidney Pills
cas- n remedy for the various forms OF
the diseases of the Kidneys, pains in
the back, soreness in the region of the
Kidneys, foul-smelling urine and
cloudy or thickened conditions of the
urine. discharges of pus or corruption,
Gout. Rheumatism. Inflammation and
Congestion of the Kidneys and all kim
dred complaints" Continuing he says:
al could mention many cases IN
which have prescribed DOddS kidney
Pills with success. For instance, Mr..
Robert Weeks, farmer, malaria haema-
turia or swamp fever three times, kid
news weakened, continual pain and
soreness in back, which made him very
nervous, had a little fever and some
times chilly. Urine changeable. but
generally very high-cOlored, an old
chronic case who had taken much med
icine with little effect. After taking
Dodd's Kidney Pills about six weeks
he was entirely cured and had gained
fifteen pounds in weight. The last
time I saw him he was the picture OF
perfect manhood"
