CURE BY THE
CUTlCURA REMEDIES

sAbout four years ago I was afflicted
with black splotches all over my face
and q few covering my body, which
produced a sever itching irritation, and
which caused me a great deal Of annoy
ance and suffering, to such an extent that
! was forced to call in two Of the leading
physicians of my town. After q thor
ough examination of the dreaded CON-
plant they announced it to be skin
eczema in its worst form. They treated
me for the same for the length Of n
year, but the treatment did me no good,
"Finally ] became Respondent anf

Shortly afterwards, my husband in read
ing a copy Of q weekly New York
paper saw an advertisement Of the Cuti-
cura Remedies. He purchased the en-
tire outfit, and after using the contents
OF the first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent
In connection with the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment, the breaking out entirely

Cuticura Remedies for six months, and
after that every splotch was entirely
gone and the affected parts were left 40

tom ofthe eczema since, which vas three
years ago.
"The Cuticura Remedies not only
cured me Of that dreadful disease,

FATE on sTArEHooD BILL. Z
senate COnferees Pledged to. Represent
the Renate,a WIaheS.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The Statehood
bill after many vicissitudes has at last
gone to a conference committee Of the two
houses, which will take it up for consider
alton at once, but with excellent prospects
for a prolonged deadlock,
Before Senator toraHer wouiu consent
to-day to permit the conferees on the part
Of the Senate TO be selected from the MEM
bers OF the Committee on Territories. he
exacted a pledge from Senator Beveridge,
chairman Of that committee, that the con-
ferees would truly represent the Senate's
wishes, as expressed in the amended bill,
and not stand for theiH own personal views,
which were in favor Of the House bill.
In view OF the fact that the House mem
bers rallied to the support Of Speaker Can
non and refused to accept the Senate amend-
ments it is believed that the position Of the
House has been greatly strengthened
thereby. Should the Senate conferees
yield to the House conferees to strike out
the Senate amendments, thus restoring
that part of the House bill which provided
joint statehood for New Mexico and Ari-
iona as well as for Oklahoma and the indian
Territory, the Senate would have another
opportunity to vote on the question OF
striking out Arizona and New Mexico from
the bill. The vote by which they were
stricken from the House bill was very
close, there being only two majority. in
favor Of the Burrows amendment, and that
conclusion was reached on a Ie~considera-
tion of the vote by which It was defeated
by one majority.
There is a possibility that as q final solu-
ton Of the matter the Senate conferees
will insist upon and secure the retention OF
the Foraker amendment, which provides
a referendum vote by each Territory sepa-
rately on the joint Statehood proposed for
Arizona and New Mexico. By accepting
this the Senate may be induced to permit
the restoration OF Arizona and New Mexico
to the bill.
The Vice-President named Messrs.
Beveridge, Dillingham; Of Vermont and
Patterson Of Colorado as conferees.

WILL HEAR LABOR MEN.
House Judiciary Committee Decides 20
Reopen Hearings on Injunction Bills.

WASHINGTON. March 2s.-The memorial
Of the American Federation Of Labor which
was presented several days 6 to the
President, Senator Frye, President pro tenn.
of the Senate, and Speaker Cannon has
had the effect Of causing a change OF front
in the House Committee on the Judiciary.
The committee had closed its hearings on
the anti-injunction bills, and while no vote
had been taken 1t was generally believed
that the Gilbert bill, drawn by the Bureau
Of Corporations and Endorsed by the Presi-
dent, would be reported.
The committee decided to-day to reopen
the hearings and listen to attorneys for,
labor interests, who will discuss the legal
phases Of the subject. Ex-senator Turne r
Of Washington will be heard on the Gilbert
and Little bills next Friday. Several other
attorneys will also discuss the measures.
The committee also formally agreed to

MRS. ROOsEVELTS SECRETARY.
Mr.. Hardwtck Of Georgia Defen dis the Posi-
ton He Took on Thursday.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Before the COM
mittee ofths whole Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives to-day passed from the para
graphs in the Legislative. Executive and
judicial Appropriation bill relating to. the
executive Office, Mr.. Hardwick Dem, Ga.)
returned to his muttons, SO TO speak, and
defended the position he had assumes
yesterday with regard to a social secretary
for Mrs. Roosevelt. He spoke to the matter
Of the contingent fund, and said:
If l have not got my history wrong, the
contingent fund was about $500 in Jefferson's
time and 81 600 In the time Of Lincoln,
when we had the greatest war the world
ever saw; and 1t has now grown to $4,000.
Why it is raised from SIS 900 no member Of
the committee can tell, because, %forsooth,
the President, nor even a clerk in his Office
or any other high authority, has come and
told the committee why they wanted a
little more money. 1t may be irreverence
or my too little veneration for people Of
that kind, but when it comes to appropriate
ing money there ought to be no distinction
made by the committee whenever anybody
asks that money be taken out of the treasury,
whether by the lowly or the mighty.
at seems that the Presidents clerk or
somebody else sends a letter to the com
mittee, saying that WE had a contingent
fund OF 81 600 last year and we want 500 900
tnS year lne committees says CndG tHs
Ia the Presidents Office clerk, and we will
even question him why he wants the
money and for what purpose he needs it.
Now, I do not believe that the President
himself would approve that. There ought
to be some explanation OF this expense,
Just as much as an inquiry into the salary
Of the homeless clerks on the Government
rolls. And II l stand alone I shall enter my
protest against such u practice: and If this
statement evokes any answer from the self
constituted defenders Of the White House,
l am willing to stand here and say that it
Ia wrong not to require ~anybodywho wants
to take public money out Of tho treasury to
give an explanation why the appropriation
should be made"

FOR PRESID ENT'S TRAIN.
MIR. Game Proposes TO Appropriate $780,
o to Purchase the Cars.

WASHINGTON, March 2s.-In the House
to-day Mr.. Gaines Dem, Tenn.) offered
an amendment to the Legislative. Executive
and judicial bill. appropriating $780, 900,
with authority to the President to buy a
train Of cars for his official use. He argued
that 1t was the duty Of Congress to make
1t not only comfortable but safe for the Chief
Executive to make the trips upon which
he was compelled to go, which could not be
assumed of the ordinary coaches provided
by the railroads for his use. Even when
he was off shooting bears, said MIR. Gaines,
he was still the President.
While quite convinced Of the necessity
pointed out by Mr., Gaines, Mr.. Littauer
said he must make a point of order against
the amendment. The proposition, he said,
was new legislation project not autho-
rized by law, and some great committee,
like that Of Interstate and Foreign Com
merce, should first investigate and deter
mine the character Of the equipment for
such a train before action was taken.
The amen dment went out On the point
Of order.

WHACKs CIVIL SERVICE SYSTEM.
The House, However, Agrees TO the APP
preparation for the Commission.

proprIatiOn for the Commission
WASHINGTON, March 29.-The civil SER
vice system and the commission received
some hard thumps from members of the
House of Representatives to-day in the
course of It's further consideration Of the
bill making appropriations for the executive,
legislative and judicial expenditures Of the
Government for the year ending June 80,
1907, The committee, however, departed
from the practice of previous years to strike
out the appropriation for the commission,
which the House afterward inserted.
There was an outbreak OF the bitterness
which has been smouldering ever since
the appropriation has been under considera-
ton for amendm emit. Chairman Tawney
Of the Committee on Appropriations de-
nounced Messrs. Prince of Illinois and Hard
wick of Georgia, who have been busy emas-
culating the bill OF increases Of positions
and salaries, as sham reformers, animated
by Interior motives and not a desire for
economy. He also minated that Mr..
Prince had secured the appointment Of q
constituent "a janitor who remained at
home, while his work was being done by
another. g,
explained that the janitor was sick and that
he was raging his substitute for his labor.
He challenged Mr.. Tawney il he had any
more filings" TO make them, but nothing
further was forthcoming.
Delegate Marc Smith OF ARIZONA, whose
hopes are wrapped up In the defeat of the
Hamilton Statehood bill, sarcastically adj
vised the leaders of the House to pass appro-
priation bills as it did the Statehood bill,
by unanimous consent, and not let any
body read them.
Mr.. Payne, the Republican leader, de-
Tended the code Of rules and their admin
istration and notified the DIRECTORS that
the appropriation bill before it was passed
by the House would contain the items
stricken out on points of order.
Mr.. Wachter Of Maryland, one Of the two
Statehood insurgents who stood up to the
last against Speaker Cannon on the State
hood question, yesterday won, the only in
crease made In the bill upon the motion OF
amember. Against the protest Of the Conn
mittee on Appropriations, the committee
Of the whole added two clerks to the force
employed in the Office Of the Assistant
Treasurer in Baltimore.
A resolution was passed asking the
President to return TO the House the bill
to open TO settlement sos 900 acres in the
Kiowa, ComRnche and Apache reservation
In the Indian Territory, and Senate amend
ments to the ON incorporating the city OF
South MacAllister, I. T., were agreed to.

sonally supervising the enforcement Of the
law all just complaints will be met. Sincerely
yours. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
The committee voted to compile a list Of
complaints and submit them to the Presi+
dent. =.
George SHIRLEY OF this city appeared
before the committee and urged that by
reason of the interest aroused among the
people on account Of the recent presentations
of the bill of grievances by labor that adj
vantage be taken Of the opportunity for
pressing home the federation's demand for
the initiative and referendum.
The covert threat contained in the me.
mortal presented to the President and
Speaker Cannon that the federation would
enter the field of politics unless its demands
for legislation were granted was the subject
of considerable omment here to-day. No
official announcement on the subject could
be obtained from President Gompers further
than his statement that it meant just what
it said. A labor leader who would not per-
init his name to be used said, however,
that the federation had made its last appeal
to the President and TO Congress for the
legislation demanded.
EOur position" he continued, 'has been
stated very clearly. There is no use of a
further waste Of words. From our point
OF view the next thing on the programme
will be action, and ] believe our proposed
action will speak louder than words"
