The house committee on territories
is practically agreed that Hawaii shall
be granted money for public improve
ments but the bill allowing Hawaii to
use IS per cent of its revenue for
twenty years in such improvements
with the plea for amendments and
went so far as to say that the help of
such friends as Mr.. Rayner could very
well be dispensed with. Other senat-
ors who participated in the debates
were Messrs. Aldrich, Tillman and
Knox.
Mr.. Knox freely expressed his
opinion that the bill would be uncon-
stitutional without provision for re-
view of the commissions findings by
the court. Mr.. Tillman reiterated his
objection to the bill, and INDUCED in
some characteristic phrases in stat
ing his position, concluding with the
remark that he believed that the bill
could be so amended as to make it
acceptable. The argument of Mr.. Ray
ner was directed in favor of the gen.
eral proposition that congress has the
right to fix rates, but that the bill
should be SO amended as to dispense
with the provision. He also advocated
other amendments.
The house committee on public
lands decided to report favorably on
resolution extending from June Is
to August Is the time for opening the
Wind river and Shoshone reserva-
tons in Wyoming.
The committee also agreed to IA
vorable report on bill forfeiting the
rights of way granted by government
to railway companies who have not
constructed projected lines within five
years after the grant was made.
At the beginning of its session the
senate passed a bill authorizing Rear
Admiral Charles H. Davis, United
States Navy, to accept gifts rendered
him by the British and Russian gov
e-nments.
Mr.. Warren addressed the senate on
the bill extending from % to sc hours
the time during which live stock in
lTduSlI IdllIOtQ may OC COil-
fined without change, saying that the
measure was in the interest of hui
manitarianism and should be passed,
He said that the extension of time
was to be made only upon the re-
quest of shippers and that it would not
work a hardship on either owners or
their stock.
The bill was reported by the COM
mittee on agriculture and number
of senators made the objection that
it should have been considered by the
committee on interstate commerce.
The house committee on military
affairs decided to make a favorable
report on bill appropriating $4,000
for the purpose of a building in Wash
ington to be used as a temporary
home for soldiers and sailors.
The senate committee on appropria'
lions today completed the fortified
tions bill and it was reported by Sen
ator Perkins. 1t carried appropria.
tions aggregating $5,61S.s93, an in
crease of S7S0,000 over the amount
appropriated by the house bill.
This provision removes the restruc'
lions from the lands of less than so
called full-bloods, except as to home
steads, but forbids the alienation OF
all land belonging to full-bloods and
forbids their incumbrance for period
of 25 years 1t permits the leasing
of all lands not homesteads for one
year.

With Irritating Skin Humor-Hair BE.
gan to Fall Out-WonderfuI Re-
suit from Cuticura Remedies.
about the latter part Of July my
whole body began to itch. did not
take much notice Of 1t at first, but it
began to get worse all the time, and
then 1 began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds of baths and other remedies
that were recommended for skin hum
ors; but became worse all the time.
My hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as I would get
in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger
nails would keep it irritated, and it
was not long before 1 could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and /
did, and the first application helped
me wonderfully. For about four
weeks l would take hot bath every
night and then apply the Cuticura
Ointment to my whole body; and
kept getting better, and by the time
l used four boxes of Cuticura l was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out. D. E. Blankenship, 3I9

While Mr.. W. S. Geisel, of No. 125

steadily working at his trade in foun.
dry at that place, he became the victim
OF an attack of rheumatism, and his ex-
perience is that of thousands who are
compelled to work in similar surround
ings. He describes his situation as fol-
lows:
had been at work for long time
i'll foundry where 1 was exposed to
dampness. First my feet began to hurt
end to swell, then my knees and my
shoulder joints began to be affected in
the same way. Finally could not walk
without great difficulty and suffering
and had to stop work altogether. My
appetite wac feeble and grew very pale
and weak. began to have pains about
my heart and it duttered a great deal.

dltlon. My mother knew about the yir.
tues of DIR. Williams Pink Pills, as thew
had given her back hen health when she
was nearly wasting to death, and when
she found that they were good for rheu-
matlsm too, she began to give them TO
me about month after I was attacked
That was i'll the early part of March,
1903, and by June they had driven away
the pains and swelling and had restored
my appetite and color. Then 1 felt
strong enough TO take up line OF out
door work and now, III October, 1 re-
gard myself as entirely we'll and 1 am
about to go into a foundry again at St.

Jerome's Three Weaknesses.

District Attorney Jerome, of New
York, pleads guilty to three weak
nesses-candy eating, cooking strange
dishes and making furniture. During
his examination of witnesses in the
Patrick murder case the district at
torney had bag of butter scotch on
the table beside him and dipped into
it every little while. Once in the
midst of an argument he felt for the
bag mechanically and, not locating it,
stopped abruptly, looked around and
found it had disappeared. A reporter
was calmly munching its contents.
Mr.. jerome Joined in the laughter and
continued his argument.

Senator Dicks First Speech.

Senator Dick. of Ohio, prepared
speech on the statehood bill and car
ried it around with him for two weeks
before he had a chance to deliver it.
When opportunity did offer the effort
proved to be unusually dreary and in
a few minutes the senator was ad
dressing few pages and the presiding
officer. Mr.. Dick had underscored a
lot of words he intended to emphasize
to give the maiden effort the proper
effect, and he sent that copy to the
government printing Office. The re-
suit was that the speech in next morn
ing's Record was bestrewn with italics
and capitals and looked like a college

Mr.. Carnegie Is Musical.

1t is fact not generally known that
Andrew Carnegie's patronage of mus
ic and his penchant for giving away
church organs as we'll as libraries is
the result of well ordered musical
taste resulting from a considerable
education in that line. When Mr.. Car
negie was a young man in Pittsburg
he was a student under George Muir
ray Alexander, who was for many
years organist in one of the largest
churches. At that time Mr.. Carnegie
gave his attention to the violin, and
although he never won fame, his in
Inmates say he even yet gets out his
fiddle and 'makes a stagger" at some
of the old-time tunes.

A WOMAN POLITICIAN.
That is the Part Being Played by an
English Woman.


The considerable part which English
women play in politics is well ex-
pressed by the LONDON Mail in an ar
ticle upon the death of Lady Gray,
wife of Sir Edward Grey, secretary of
state for foreign affairs. 1t said, in
part: Even apart from her devotion
to her husband she was the keenest
possible Liberal politician, though the
daughter on old Tory squire, Major S.
F. Widdrington (whose ancestor is
mentioned in the Ballad of Chevy
Chase>, and her personal popularity
in the Border county was responsible
for much of its liberalism. For Sir
Edward, she worked necessarily and
brilliantly. from his first political cam
paign. two months after his marriage
in 1885, down to the late battle, from
whose triumph she has been SO tragic
ally called away" Lady Grey had a
large desk at Falloden devoted to po-
litical papers, answered many of Sir
Edwards letters, and throughout his
five campaigns frequently took notes
at his opponents meetings of points in
the speeches which she thought needed

coNeREssMEN HEAR FROM
HOME REGARDING STATEHOOD.
ARE DELUGED WITH TELEGRAMS.
Statehood Bill is to be Brought up in
the House on March 21-People in
Other States are interested in
Statehood Bill.
Monday. March 10,

ashington.-The Kansas and Mis-
souri, Republican members of the
house have been hearing from their
constituents since their position on
the statehood question became known
lately. Hundreds of kilograms have
been sent IN them urging in the
strongest terms possible their con-
currence in the senate amendment.
Many of these kilograms are from
quarters which carry weight, and may
have some influence in deciding the
disposition of the bill when it comes
up for action in the house. If the
Missouri and Kansas members had
stood resolutely and united for the
senate bill in conference recently,
the tide might have been turned and
the bill sent to conference with in
structions to concur. No other states
having strong Republican representa-
tives are as vitality interested in the
admission of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory as Missouri and Kansas, but
all told only six votes were cast by
the two delegates in favor of concur
renee.
The house leaders are much dis
treSsed at the anxiety shown in var
ious sections of the country as to the
fate of Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory, but the speaker and his lieuten-
ants are making it a question of party
loyalty with members to stand by the
organization in the fight, and are pro-
ceeding with their program with
slight regard for the general interests
manifested.
1t has been decided to bring the bill
into the house Wednesday, March 81.
Mr. Hamilton, chairman of the CON-
mittee on territories, which framed
the house bill, will ask unanimous
consent to send the bill to conference
without instructions. One of the lead
ers of the minority is expected to
make a motion in the nature of sub
stitute to send the bill to conference
with instructions to concur in the
Burrows amendment, which elimin-
ates Arizona and New Mexico, and to
non-concur in the minor amendments
to the sections relating to Oklahoma
and Indian Territory.
This is expected to bring on the
test vote. However, the program of
the house leaders is that, if there is
objection to the motion for unanimous
consent, the bill will be sent to the
committee on territories.
Saturday, March II.
Washington.-The railroad rate bill
reached the controversial stage in the
senate. The question came up in the
regular order of business. Mr.. Rayner
was the chief speaker of the day and
the debate that took place was pro-
voked by some of his utterances.
Among the senators who were arous-
ed by him were Messrs. Foraker,
Lodge and Dolliver.
Both the Ohio senator and the
Massachusetts senator took excep-
tons to Mr.. Rayner's contention that
the railroads have interfered in the
framing of the bill and Mr.. Foraker
also expressed himself as dissatisfied
with the intimation that the railroads
are represented on the floor of the
senate.

GRAND TO LIVE.
And the Last Laugh Is Always the

'Six months ago I would have
laughed at the idea that there could
be anything better for a table bever-
age than coffee" writes an Ohio wom-
an-"now 1 laugh to know there is"
"Since childhood 1 drank coffee as
freely as any other member Of the
family. The result was a puny, sick
ly girl, and as I grew into womanhood
l did not gain in health, but was af.
flicted with heart trouble, weak and
disordered stomach, wrecked nerves
and general breaking down, till last
winter, at the age of SO seemed to
be on the verge of consumption. My
friends greeted me with How bad you
looki What a terrible color!' and this
was not very comforting.
The doctors and patent medicines
did me absolutely no good. was
thoroughly discouraged.
"Then 1 gave up coffee and COM
menced Postum Food Coffee. At first
didn't like it, but after few trials
and following the directions exactly, it
was grand. It was refreshing and
satisfying. In a couple of weeks
noticed great change. 1 became
stronger, my brain grew clearer, was
not troubled with forgetfulness as in
coffee times. my power Of endurance
was more than doubled. The heart
trouble and indigestion disappeared
and my nerves became steady and
strong.
81 began to take an interest in
things about me. Homework and
home-making became pleasure. Ny
friends have marveled at the change
and when they inquire what, brought
it about. l answer Postum Food Cot

GERMANY GROWING RAPIDLY.
Gains Nearly Five Million People ir
Five Years.

Berlin, March 19.-The official re-
turns of the census taken December

S05,1SS in Germany, against 56,367,17S

The women outnumber the men by

clans estimate that if the males make
the same rate of increase as shown

the states show increases, the largest
being Bremen, with II per cent, and
the lowest Mecklenburg-Str less
than 1 per cent.
