observing the details of a public cere-
mOny, Senator Bate accompanied the
senate to. the east front of the capitol
and sat through the administering Of
the oath and the speech OF the pres
ident. AS he walked back to the SEN
ate chamber he complained to fellow
senator of feeling chilly and expe-
rlencing sharp pain in his chest. Four
days afterwards he was dead, victim,
as many believe, of inauguration-day
weather.
This incident has renewed the move
ment to change the date of Inauguration
Two years ago the late Senator Hoar,
chairman OF the judiciary committee
drew a resolution, submitting to the
states all amendment to the constitu-
ton to make Inauguration day the last
Thursday in April. The senate passed
the resolution unanimously, but the
mousse committee on judiciary got into
a squabble over it and the house never
got chance to vote on it, The COM
missioners of the District of Columbia
appointed national committee in 1902
to carry on propaganda in favor OF
this change of date. Besides a num-
Der of distinguished men in Washing
ton. the governors from the As states
and four territories were appointed as
members of this national committee.
Commissioner MacFarland has Just
issued a call for meeting If this COM

cations are read with the deepest IN
terest and the senator's shiVer as they
think of the millions Of microbes that
are swarming in the carpets and
through the atmosphere OF the cham
Der. There are more hypochondriacs
among the senators than can be found
in the same number of people elsewhere.
A slight cold is sufficient to keep the
average senator at his house or; hotel,
and the weather mapin the marble room
is consulted almost hourly for possible
changes in the temperature. g
The senators are almost amusingly
credulous of any reports that may be
circulated about the physical condition
of one of their number. An illustration
of this has just been furnished. Senator
Knox. of Pennsylvania, was attacked
by the grip about the middle of January.
and, after fighting the disease for a few
days, obeyed his physicians orders and
went to bed. He had regular siege OF
: this troublesome malady, and then. Just
before congress adjourned, went to
Florida to regain his strength. Imme-
diately stories were circulated that Mr..
Knox was in the grip of a fatal disease.
and that he was not likely to again take
his seat in the senate Senators shook
their heads and expressed deep SYM
pathy to each other with the Pennsyl-
vania senator They did not hesitate to
accept the report as true, and repeated
it so that it was generally believed.
Mr.. Knox in the meantime was down in
Floroida gaining strength every day and
putting in hours on the golf links ana

of COZ SUMMIT street, this city, is telling OF
his remarkable cure of Kidney Disease by
using Dodd's Kidney Pills.
I had almost given up all hope of ever
getting any help" says DR.. Lewis. -
my kidneys had troubled me for years:
The pains in my back were severe and I
had to get up several times at night. I
tried different medicines but kept on get
ting worse till was laid up. g
"Then a friend advised me to try Dodd's
Kidney Pills and in about two weeks I
started to improve. Now I am glad to
admit I am cured and I cannot praise
Dodd's Kidney Pills too highly"
If you take Dodd's Kidney Pills when
out of order you will never have Bright's

cite interest in this discovery, but the
process has been in use in the army for
two or three years. 1t is claimed that
a new cure for tropical dysentery or
Philippine fever has been discovered by
using the veriform appendix as chan
mel through which medicine can be- in
troduced into the bowels without pass
ing through the stomach.
One of the operations was performed
on sergeant in the engineer corps who
was at the point of death from an aggra-
waited attack of Philippine dysentery Or
acute malarial fever, of more than a
years standing. Under the direction OF
the surgeon in charge at the barracks
here the sufferers appendix was reached
by an incision through the walls of the
abdomen. 1t was drawn through the
opening of the body and allowed to heal
outside of the abdominal wall. Using
theappendixas though it had been fun
mel, the surgeon poured in a quinine So
luton. The medicine reached the vital
organs affected without passing through
the stomach. -.
The perforations in the bowels caused
by the disease were quickly healed. AS
the stomach was not affected by the
medicine, the patient could take nour-
ishment without discomfort, and, after
a few days treatment. was convalescent,
| and is now on the road to full health.
If this process becomes general the
custom of cutting out the vermiform APP
pendix on the slightest provocation will
| probably be discontinued and that little
member of the body will be brought To
the outside and held there as handy
channel for the administering Of medi-
/ cine to the bowels. s.:* SIS 3sz = 1865

are numerous and strong. One of the
principal reasons is the disarrangement
it causes in the pension office work, as
hundreds of clerks are laid off for week
or ten days during the inauguration sea-
son. Another potent reason is the dan
ger OF fire. which would not only threat
en- a horrible disaster in the loss OF life,
but would destroy records that could
never be replaced.
In accord with promise that was
given. the inaugural committee has
taken initial steps toward the erection
in Washington of a large auditorium for
the holding of future inaugural balls,
conventions and other large gatherings.
1t is the purpose to solicit subscriptions
contribution from congress towards
the erection of a suitable buildinge The
first move in that direction was taken
when congress authorized the accept
ance by the district government of the
structural steel and other durable por--
tons of the government exhibit build
ing at st. Louis. The steel used in the
construction of this building is esti-
mated TO be worth about 100000, and
it will cost probably $4,000 to bring it
to Washington.
The government building at the St.
Louis fair is 1852 feet long and It's feet
wide. lt.is proposed to construct the
| new convention hall in Washington out
of the material used in this building and
to provide structure about 500 feet
long and ITS feet wide. 1t is calculated
that if building of this kind were
provided national conventions could be
attracted to Washington and national
meetings of big trade organizations
would be held here. AS a business enter
prise the hall is considered very attrac-
tive.
