THE FIRE IS NEVER OUT IN
COLES ORIGINAL HOT
BLAST STOVE

The comfort of getting up in the
morning and dressing in warm
room is one of the agreeable features
in the possession of a Coles original
Hot Blast stove. The fire is never
out in this remarkable stove from
the time it is set up in the fall until
taken down in spring, ard the rooms
can be kept warm all night and for
two or three hours in the morning
with the fuel put in the stove the
night before:
Just think what this means for
the promotion of health. Sickness
usually starts from a cold con-
tracted in an unevenly heated house.
Where the home can be evenly
heated day and night colds are only
a memory, and much sickness is thus
prevented. Health, comfort, con-
venience and economy all go with
the purchase of a Coles Original
Hot Blast. Investigate to-day.

to retire early. At o'clock this morning
his valet entered his bedroom and finding
him apparently asleep, withdrew The valet

The day before his death several friends
lunched with NJ. Gerome at his home, and
after the luncheon he took them to his

Among NJ. Gerome's latest productions

DOW|E AND HIS DEACONS
ARE OFF FOR AUSTRALIA
The Restorer Attended a Hotel
Opening and Found Fault
with the Lavishness.
SAYS NEGRO IS INFERIOR

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 10.-John
Alexander Dowie elijah the Restorer) and
his six deacOns will leave here tomorrow
for San Francisco on his trip to Australia.
He attended the opening of a hotel at a
neighboring resort this morning and
tered his protest against the lavish silver
service and the stuffed pig on the menu.
This afternoon he addressed about three
thousand people in local auditorium. He
wanted to make himself clear on the race
question. He said the Anglo-Saxon race is
superior to the negro race, but that there
was a time when the black brother was
superior to the white, and the white man
should be just to the negro and endeavor
to lift him up Whatever the difference in
race might be on earth. the white man and
black man were brothers before God.
Dowie found fault with the Southern peo-
pie I'm that they were too sleepy and slow,
not up TO date. and he ridicued the slow
time made by the railroad whose guest he
has been during the past several days. His
only reference to the prospective establish
ment of a Zion city and plantation on the
Texas coast was contained in the state
ment that he might at some near date be-
come a neghbor of the people of San An

SENATE WILL DISCUSS
POSTOFFICE MATTERS
DURING COMING WEEK
Carmack and PenroSe Resolutions
Regarding Alleged Irregulari-
tiers to Be Considered.
TO CONFIRM BUCHANAN
Senator Lodge Will Move to Table
Mr.. Morgan's Motion for Re-
consideration of Vote.
PANAMA TREATY READY
1t VIII Be Reported to the Senate

ters to Be Coneidered.
TO CONFIRM BUCHANAN
PANAMA TREATY READY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-At the begin
ming of to-mOrrow's session the Senate will
resume consideration of the Penrose and
Carmack resolutions for an investigation Of
irregularities in the Postoffice Department.
There are still some Democratic senator's
who desire to be heard on this matter, and
Senator Spooner has intimated his intention
to make a more extended reply to Senator
Carmack's charge that Postmaster General
Payne has been at all iukewarm in the
prosecution of frauds in his department.
The understanding is that this question will
not be allowed to retain its place before the
Senate in its present shape for a great
length of time, as Senator German, the
leader of the Democratic senators, has ex-
pressed a willingness to have the resolu-
tions referred to the pOstOffice committee,
and there is no doubt that they will be so
referred when the discussion comes 10 an
end.
The nomination of Mr.. Buchanan to be
minister to Panama remains unacted on,
and discussion of it will be resumed at the
next executive session of the Senate. Sen
ator Lodge of the committee foreign re-
lations, has given notice of his intention to
move to lay on the table Senator Morgan's
motion to reconsider the vote by which Mr..
Buchanan's nomination was confirmed, but
will not make the motion until it is evident
discussion is exhausted. The motion, when
made, will be unbeatable, and, If it pre-
walls, will bring discussion to an end.
Other questions are expected to be taken
up during the week. including bill provid-
ing for forest reserve in the southern APP
palachian mountains. and the resolution
pertaining to good roads. Senator Burton
has given notice Of a speech on the forest
reserve bill, and Senator Latimer of one
on the good roads proposition. Mr.. Lati-
mers notice is for next Thursday, but Mr..
Burton has fixed definite time for his
remarks. He will make an effort to secure
the passage of the bill after making his
speech.
1t is considered probable that there will
be more or less speechmaking the vari-
Gus resolutions pertaining to the Panama
canal question. but there is no definite pro-
gramme In this respect. Senator Cullom
expects TO report the Panama canal treaty
after the regular meeting of the Senate
committee on foreign relations next
Wednesday. The Republican leaders in
tend to urge the prompt possible considera-
tion of the treaty. and after 1t is reported to
the Senate will try to keep it before the
Senate constantly to the exclusion of all
other business.

HOUSE WILL PASS AN
APPROPRIATIONS BILL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The House, dur
ing the present week, will pass the legis-
lative, executive and judicial appropriation
BILL thus disposing of the second of the
big supply measures. The committee on ap-
propriations expects, to report the bill to the
House tomorrow, and to call it up the fol-
lowing day. 1t is not expected that the de-
bate will take such a wide range as it did
when the pensions appropriation hill was
before the House, and that 1T be dis
posed of within couple Of days.
The indications now are that the urgent
deficiency bill, the next to follow, will be
reported to the House the last of this week
or the first of the following week. 1t is de-
sired to get some Of the appropriation bills
over TO the Senate early possible.
There are a few minor measures about
ripe for action, which will be taken up from
time to time. Unless the appropriations
committee shall be ready to report the
urgent deficiency bill by Saturday, the
House may be in session only five days this
week.
