Washington, June 5.-In practically

the railroad rate bill agreed to the
measure as it was passed by the sen
ate The report was signed at about
4 o'clock D. m. Saturday, and almost
Immediately presented to both houses.
1t shows that the senate receded from
six amendments, two of which merely
change the numbers Of sections, while
twenty-eight of its amendments were
retained verbatim, and the remaining
seventeen amendments were redrafted
and returned under different phraseol-
ogy.
Senator Tillman, chairman of the
senate conferees, gave notice that he
will urge prompt action on the report
in the senate. AS soon as disposed of
there it is safe to say it will be acted
upon by the house with the utmost dis
patch.

Thursday.

Washington, June /. - The senate
yesterday passed the Knox immunity
bill and the omnibus lighthouse bill
with practically no debate, passed
the military academy bill, and was
only prevented from passing the en-
ployers' liability bill by motion at 2
p. m. to go into executive session
Most of the afternoon was devoted to
consideration in executive session OF
the nomination of Judge James Wick
ersham to be Judge of the United
States circuit court for the district OF
Alaska, but he was not confirmed.
The Democrats of the house resumed
their filibustering tactics yesterday
and demanded roll calls on every pos
sible parliamentary point. Notwith-
standing these tedious delays the
house passed the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill, carrying an
appropriation of $2,734,S69.

SnuNe ir of Mark Twain,

A young woman photographer, Miss
Jessie Beals, recently went to photo
graph Mark Twain for publication.
AS she was pinning on her hat to de-
part after the operation Mr.. Clemens
took note of her action and remarked:
Here, one hatpin isn't enough for any
woman Miss Lyan"-to his secre-
arv-''go and get her one of those
1pins.
Miss Lyan returned, bearing a new
style hatpin-one of those with a
corkscrew pin and a gun metal head.
81 took some stock in a hatpin fac
tory lately" said Mr.. Clmens, land
they unloaded some of their product
on me. So I'm trying to work it off
on my friends"
No envious Flatiron Building gale
will ever wrench out Miss Beals gun
metal hatpin. She keeps it laid away
in cotton wool for a souvenir.

Mark Twain on Advertising.

Mark Twain, in the midst of pane

able story.
There was a man." he said, back
Iowa way, who was SO pleased with
an advertisement in the local paper
that he wrote the following testimo-
nial letter to the editor:
"'Mr. Editor. Sir:-After selling
all I could, giving barrels away, and
stuffing my hogs till they would eat
no more, still l had last fall, about
200 tons of big, juicy, fine-favored ap'
pies left on my hands l inserted in
your valuable paper an ad. that l was
willing to send free barrel of picked
fruit, freight paid in advance by me.
to any one who would apply, there
being, of course, no charge for the
barrel. You will hardly credit it, but
that little Accent ad. cleared out my
whole stock of apples, and l could
have disposed of five times the guam
tity on the same terms"

Washington, June 2. - The senate
yesterday passed the bill regulating
the liability of railroad companies for
injury to employees, but Senator Dan
iel gave notice of a motion to recon
slider, which, If it prevails, will have
the effect of again bringing the ques-
tion before the senate for cOnsidera
ton.
The remaining time of the open ses.
sion was devoted to a speech by Sen
ator Morgan in support of the asser.
ton of American control in the Isle OF
Pines, and to a discussion of the reso-
luton prescribing policy for the
government in the purchase of sup
plies for the Panama canal. Senator
Stone opposed the amendment as use
less and attacked the president as
weak and wavering in policy.

If her system is in a deranged condi-
ton, or she is predisposed to apoplexy
or congestion of any organ, it is at this
time likely to become active and, with
a host of nervous irritations, make life
a burden.
At this time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to begin their destruc-
tive work. Such warning symptoms as
a sense of suffocation. hot flashes, diz-
ziness, headache, dread of impending
evil, sounds in the ears, timidity, pal
pitation of the heart, sparks before the
eyes, irregularities, constipation, varia-
BILE appetite, weakness and inquietude
are promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the period
of life when woman's great change
may be expected.
We believe Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etahe Compound is the worlds great
est remedy for women at this trying
period.
Lydia f. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound invigorates and strengthens the
female organism, and builds up the
weakened nervous system as no other
medicine can.
Mrs. A. E. G. Hyland, of Chester
town, Nd, in letter to Mrs. Pink

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-

for years and was passing through the change
of life. / had good deal of soreness, dizzy

ment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound as you directed, and 1 am happy
to say that all those distressing symptoms left
me, and l have passed safely through the

It knitted me again and again.
about eight years ago (as result
of coffee drinking which congested my

"The Doctor said he had carefully
studied my case, and it was either

take Postum in its place. l had al.
ways thought coffee one Of my dearest
friends, especially when sick, and
was very much taken back by the Doc

the coffee l drank could possibly cause
my troubles.
81 thought it over for few minutes,
and finally told the Doctor l would
make the change. Postum was pro-

BOUGHT CARGO OF FLIES.
Strange Consignment Sent From Bra
zil to London

I'll to London.
One Of the strangest cargoes YES
sci could possibly have was unloaded
at the London docks toward the close
Of March. It consisted of several
sacks filled with dried flies, consigned
to large firm of grain merchants.
These flies, originating in Brazil,
nave been purchased for use in the
manufacture of food for chickens,
cage birds and the like. They were
caught on the River Amazon by Bra.
zilians, who travel up the river in fat
bottomed boats, anG who are provided
with gauze nets, with which they ca p
ture these insects in millions, as flies
hover in dense clouds over many of
the swampy reaches of the Amazon.
The flies thus caught are killed,
dried in the sun and then placed
in sacks. Upon arrival in London
they are mixed with inlet and other
grain, and are sold as chicken food,
etc. Some time ago the Brazilian gov
ernment, fearing that the fish in the
Amazon river would be starved, for
bade the expectation of flies; hence
the price of this strange commodity,
which used to be Cd. per pound, has
now risen to Is. Cd. per pound and
often a little more.
