The resolutions adopted by the con

1--WE pay tribute TO our great leaders
from our first standard bearer John

first Republican president, to Theodore
Roosevelt, our present leader, the
worlds first citizen, who, through his
rugged honesty, his persistent deter

his demand for square deal for every
person and every interest, has gained
not only the respect and love of his
fellow countrymen, but the esteem and
admiration of all mankind.
I'VE indorse the sentiment of vii.

Mr.. Williams (Miss), the minority
leader, sought to have the time of de
bate extended TO forty minutes for

rule. Mr. Wadsworth said he regret
ted that he could not comply with the
request, and the reading Of the meat

nearly every member present following
the reading of the bill with a copy in
hand.
Mr.. Wadsworth in explaining the
changes made in the substitute for the

Baalbsc, or Baalbek, Is the name

Coele-Syria, forty-nve miles northwest
Of Damascus. There is nothing partic-
ularly remarkable about q ruined city
being found in the locality mentioned,
but the size Of the blocks Of stone used
BY the ancient builders OF this partic-
ular city Is something that has puzzled
the modern engineers since the day
when Baalbec was first made the Nee

immense stones on every side of the
visitor to this ancient pile Of ruins, but
the three most remarkable blocks-said
to be the largest ever used in the con-
struction of building-are In a wall
back of the temple Of Baal. These i'm
mense stones are respectively sixty
four, sixty three and sixty-two feet in
length and each is thirteen feet in
thickness, but the most wonderful
thing in connection with them is the
fact that they are at place in the

Dangers of Cocaine,

Cocaine, an alkaloid of cocoa leaves,
was discovered in 1859. but remained
In comparative obscurity until 1884. In
minute doses. whether taken internally
or used as a spray on mucous surfaces,
its effect is wonderfully exhilarating,
producing for a time the fresh and
buoyant sensations Of youth and per-
feet health, that have apparently no
unpleasant reaction, and therein lies
the explanation of the subtle and ir-
resistible power it quickly acquires
over its victims, carrying them to the
very brink of destruction before they
have dreamed of danger. Being a Gu
mulative poison, the first warning
symptom does not appear until the
fatal chains are riveted that shall drag
them, horror stricken and powerless Of
resistance, over the precipice to COM
plete mental moral and physical ruin.
