condition was very threatening to health.

Standing of National League Clubs

Managers Stahl and Collins held confer.
ence at 2:30 yesterday afternoon, and at
its conclusion the news was given out that
the Washingtons and Bostons would not
play on account of the cold weather. There
was almost gale from the northwest blow
Ing over the park, and while the players
might have gone through the game bundled
up In sweaters the spectators would have
had merry time keeping comfortable, even
in their overcoats. The players of both
teams are In good condition just now and
both managers decided that It would be
wise TO postpone the game and take no
chances on developing arms, and per-
haps handicap the team for the rest of the
season.
In seasons past double headers have been
played at the option of the different mana
gers, and as a result they were generally
put off until the last trip of the year At
the regular meeting of the American
League last fan COMFY Mack presented a
resolution, which was unanimously adopt
cd, which compels the clubs to play off post
poned games on the next regular trip the
same as q scheduled game. The Bostons
are due here July on their next trip and
they will be hung up for five games as
they have two on the Fourth of July

New Yorl.a Humiliation.

Since the discussion over the Hepburn
bill promised to go down 10 history as one
of the most mastery debates ever held
in the United States Senate, the sense
Of the humiliation has been deepening
in New York over the fact that the
Empire State has no representative in
the upper house with the ability TO take
even the smallest part in the debate on
this most important question.
No other city Of the country takes more
interest, certainly none has more cause
TO be interested, than New York, in the
enactment Of just and reasonable traffic
laws, and this interest extends through
out the great shipping and manufacturing
centres of the State. But the interest
does not extend TO tho two representa-
tives Of the State in the Senate. The
decrepit platt apparently thinks that his
whole duty consists in keeping his chair
in the Senate chamber from flying out
Of the window, and Depew has not con-
descended TO sit in che Senate since the
rate discussion began.
Meanwhile the representatives Of State
after State other than New York have
risen in the Senate and added their best
opinions to the remarkable debate The
speech Of Senator Morgan of Alabama
is the latest 10 attract attention, par
ticularly that portion which in he pointed
out that the Hepburn bill, in its radical
form, would create "a great political ma
chine in the interests Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, clothed with moro
responsible power than any other political
body in the world" Senator Morgan also
said; "The people are not demanding that
the Constitution be violated in order to
enable a commission to regulate rates. '

rnrlff Advnnntan snulrm.

The watch episode-the exposure Of
the methods Of the Watch Trust by
which its witches are sold at much lower
prices in Europe than in this country
has made the tariff advocates squirm.
The proof was so oomplete-co consisting
Of the demonstration OF a New York City
ieweler who bought the Trusts watches
in Europe, shipped them back 10 this
country, and after paying freight and
tariff taxes undersold the Trust agents
in New York City-that the tariff ad-
vocates could not deny. And so they
attempted to justify.
As was expected, their plea is that the
Trust watches which are sold at low prices
in Europe are the surplus stock which can
not be disposed Of in this country at Trust
prices. Naturally, the inquiry shot back;
Why not sell the surplus stocks in this
country, and thus enable American GUS
toners, instead Of European customers,
70 reap the advantage Of the low prices ?
Representative John Sharp Williams,
leader Of the Democratic minority in the
House Of Representatives, answered this
question, as no tariff advocate dared to
make truthful reply. The plea of the
latter was that the surplus watches were
really sold at a loss in Europe for the
purpose Of introducing them, so that
when they have been established the
foreigner will like them so well that be
will pay profitable prices for them. But
Mr. Williams said "Here at home, shell
tered by the tariff for the planting, growth
and contamination Of combinations be-
tween the manufacturers, the moment
one undertook to sell the surplus here at
less than cost he would break the market
prices agreed upon by the various fac
tories entering into the combination"
Mr.. Williams answer is the solid truth
The manufacturers formed a combination
for the purpose of keeping up prices in
this country. Foreign buyers may enjoy
the benefit Of low prices, but not tn,
people Of the United States. And thus
the latter are taxed by the tariff.

Big statss and Big Senators.

A story comes from Washington of
party OF New York sightseers in the
Senate who listened with eager interest
20 the great speech by Senator Bailey of
Texas on the Railroad Rates bill, at the
conclusion Of which one of the party
asked TO have the New York Senators
pointed out. And the answer came:
"Depew is In sanitarium and Platt is
too feeble TO sit here for a long time and
listen TO anybody talk"
One may well sympathiEe with these
New Workers as they heard this explana-
tion of the absence Of their Senators while
the Senator from Texas was delivering
himself in such mastery manner. For
they we'll knew that even when in good
physical condition their Senators were
not 70 be compared 70 the Senator from
Texas.
New York, in wealth and population,
is the greatest State in the Union. Texas,
in respect Of area, is the largest. Yet New
York is represented in the United States
Senate by two political trimmers and
time-servers, while Texas is represented
by an Intellectual giant who isable to take
the lead in one Of the greatest discussions,
upon one Of the grayest questions, ever
known in this country.

HONESTY OR DISHONESTY.
which wln You Eneourarsf
"Who dares think one thing and another tell,
My heart uetests him as the gates Of hell D.

who dnres think one thing and another tell,
My heart detests him as the gates OF hell"
Extravagant statements and extraor-
dinary claims are made by nearly all manu.
facturers nowadays without any COM
junction whatever. II is argued that this
is one Of the up-to-date methods of doing
business. The good old-fashioned methods
ars no longer In vogue.
For instance, Il Is considered proper for
the manufacturer of medicine to tell tho
public that his product will help certain or
all diseases when he knows that It will only
aggravate same. Particularly Is this true
of the proprietore of remedies that contain
alcohol. Most Of these remedies will afford
temporary relief but claims are made that
permanent cures will be effected.
10 does not take very huge intellect TO
figure that medicines containing from
fifteen 10 fifty per cent alcohol are bound to
produce bad effects. The average liquid
patent medicine contains more alcohol than
the average alcoholic drink.
For any one to claim that a medicine
containing alcohol will build up tissues is
absurd. II destroys them. These remedies
claim 10 heal and sooth the various mucous
membranes of the body. Bosh They irrtato
and inflame them. The work Of destruction
goes steadily on until they are completely
DESTROYED.
Another claim made by these so-callsd
medicines is thar they increase circulation.
Every one knows that when a persons
heart has almost ceased to beat thRt little
whisky will increase it, but most people
also know that II its use IL continued Tor
any length of time, the doses have to be
increased, and when the whisky is stopped
the patient relapses to worse than his
former condition. So Il is with so-called
medicines which are nothing but temporary
stimulants.
How different from these is Magee's Malt
Emulsion. Not a drop of alcohol In IT, No
false hopes held out to the despairing one,
but safe, sure and a permanent remedy for
bronchial and pulmonary affections and all
WASTING diseases. When your vitality is
low then IL Is you need something that will
infuse new life into your whole system.
This energy can only be obtained from a
medicine which is "A food like Magee's Malt

R. G. Dun & Co.. Review says. "Strin-
gency in the money market has caused
no interruption to the wholesale progress
of trade and industry, although tending
TO develop conservatism in speculative
departments Weather conditions ac-
celerate the distribution of seasonable
merchandise, and retail business is of
large volume outside the immediate
vicinity of the coal mines and a few other
places where local controversies have
their influence. Building operations are
only limited by the supply Of labor and
material, which cause frequent delays
