BROWNSVILLE FRAY

negro troops without honor, but did not
want TO vote against a resolution sup
porting the president.
MIR. Lodge ultimately withdrew his
amendment, and as a result OF the con-
ference the Republicans agreed TO sup.
port the substitute Foraker resolution OF
Wednesday for a simple inquiry into the
facts OF the Brownsville raid With this
agreement about TO be carried into ef-
feet, the Republican senators were nat
urally non-piussed by Mr.. Blackburns
action in presenting an amendment OF
the same intent as that which they had
persuaded one OF their own number 70
withdraw.
The Democrats arc saying that the
Aldrich resolution is a bluff to frighten
them, but they arc not uite sure, for
Mr.. Aldrich usually accomplishes what
he starts out TO do. Some are contend
ing that Mr.. Blackburn is trying To court
Presidents Roosevelts favor for reasons
OF his own. There have been signs late
ly that Mr. Blackburn has been pressing
Senator Daniel OF Virginia pretty closely
for the honor OF being the foremost
White House Democrat.
upon by the Republicans, IL was tenta-
lively agreed when their conference end
cd yesterday that they should vote TO
table the Blackburn resolution IL IL came
10 a vote. after explaining that II was
not necessary or proper to consider the
matter OF indorsing the president until
the facts OF the Brownsville riot had been
ascertalned.
Mr. Aldrich does not seem TO be worried
over the outcome. He went TO New York
last night.

PRESIDENT To
SEND MESSAGE ON
CAR SHORTAGE

Washington, Jan. ls-Congress will be
asked by President Roosevelt to give the
interstate commerce commission In
creased powers TO enable that body TO
deal with such emergencies as that now
existing with regard TO the car shortage
question. The commission already has
submitted to the president a. preliminary
of it's members in the Northwest into this
matter, and Il will submit recommenda-
tions very soon.
When these are ready the president

the matter with Mr.. Roosevelt and the
interstate commerce commission.

the demurrage representatives., asking
that he recommend federal legislation
giving the Interstate commerce commits
sion the power TO deal with the question
of car shortage and setting out the seri-
Gus condition OF affairs resulting from

The presidents idea. as expressed by
one OF those present Yesterday, was that
whatever amendments 10 the interSta Ia
commerce act on this subject may be en-
acted, they should not become operative
until the first Of July, when the railroads
would have had ample opportunity 10 pre-
pare for the change.
Chairman Knapp OF the interstate com
merce commission indicated generally the
views OF the commission "a TO what
might be advisable In the way OF reme-
dial legislation, and this met the hearty
approval Of the demurrage representa-
tives.
None OF the interstate commerce COM
missioners was willing last night to be
quoted, but unoffically they say the rec
concentrations 20 the president Will in
clude some form OF reciprocal demurrage
so that the carrier may be penalized for
delay i'm moving as well as the consignee
for delay in unloading cars, and probably

mands In one section not existing In an
other.

sentatives made the statement that be

Every nerve is a live wire
connecting some part of the
body with the brain. They are
so numerous that il YOU penc-
trate the skin with the point OF
a needle you will touch a nerve
and receive a shock-pain it is
called. Aches and pains come
from a pressure, strain or in
jury to a nerve; the more prom
inent the nerve the greater the
pain. When the pain comes
from a LARGE nerve it is called
Neuralgia
whether it be the facial nerves,
or the heart, stomach, sciatic
or other prominent nerve
branch. To stop pain, then,
you must relieve the Strain or
pressure upon the nerves.

JAP YOUTH ON scHooLsHIP.
Will Get Thorough Training on an
 American Boat.

The first Japanese youth to be ad- mitted to the crew of the schoolshIp St. Marys is Katzern Artyoshi. Art yoshi, who is 17 years old has been in the revenue cutter service on the Pacific for the last three years
 As it is necessary for all foreigners who wish to become members of the schoolship's crew to have a guardian, Artyoshi was forced to get one before he could be admitted to the crew He succeeded Tn getting Capt. Osborn to act in that capacity. Capt. Osborn will coach the boy along and help him over the hard points in his lessons.
 Artyoshi has not made up his mind yet whether he will remain in this country or go home to Japan after he has been graduated from the school ship. A term on the schoolship fits a boy for servlce in the merchant ma rine. Artyoshi says he likes the United States and may stay here, but if Japan ever goes to war he will re- turn home quickly as possible to take part in it.

CRIED EASILY.
Nervous Woman Stopped Coffee and
 Quit Other Things.

No better practical proof that coffee is drug can be required than to note how the nerves become unstrung in women who habitually drink it.
 The stomach, too, rebels at being continually drugged with coffee and tea--they both contain the drug caffeine. Ask your doctor.
 An la. woman tells the old story Nus:
 'i had used coffee for six years and Nas troubled with headaches, nervous ness and dizziness. In the morning upon rising I used to belch up a sour fluid regularly.
 Often l got so nervous and miser- able l would cry without the least req son. and I noticed my eyesight was getting poor.
 After using Postum a while, I ob- served the headaches left me and soon the belching of sour fluid stopped (wa- fer brash from dyspepsia). I feel de- eidedly different now, and I am con. yinced that 1t is because l stopped coffee and began to use Postum. can see better now, my eyes are stronger.

THE eEARLEss CLOCK.

C. II. Briglen, Los Angeles watehmaker, has invented the first timepieee ever made 10 run and to keep time with single wheel. and the wheel is not d gear wheel. but only d perforated disk, so Ina, t;he clock might bo called gearless clock, says tae Pacific Outlook.
 A quarter of an inch ball rolling on two inclined plates takes the place of pendulum and gearing. This steel ball rolls over two incline plates in just minute, and rolls off the lower plate into the lower hole of the disk, at tke same time releas- ing the disk, which Is always under tension imparted to 1t by two ball weights suspended i'll towers.
 The disk carries 30 balls on one side. and when released by the roll ing of the ball from the lower plates against locking device, the disk turns the space of one hole. or one minute, and brings the upper most ball into position to roll on the top plate and begin its zigzag course down the two inclined plates as did the preceding ball. Each ball rolls over the plates once every 30 minutes.

MONKS FIRST PLAYED poMlNoEs
Origin of Game That Is Popular the
 World Over.

With regard to the game of dom inoes there is a very interesting story connected with it's origin. It runs thus: There were two monks who had been committed to the pen alty Of long seclusion and were con demned to keep absolute silence. To relieve the monoteny they played game by showing each other small fiat stones marked with black dots. By well-understood arrangement, the monk whose hand was used at first informed the other player by repeating in an undertone the first aine of the vesper hymn, "Cantate Domino" (Sing unto the LordD. In time the monks completed the set of stones and formulated the rules of the game, so that by the time they were free to come out from their pun. lshment they had found the game so Interesting that on teaching it to the other members of the monastery 1t became fayorite and lawful pastime It soon became popular all through Italy and from there extended to the whole world. The first line of the yes per hymn which the monks had used as signal was reduced to the word 0omino. and the name has stuck to the game ever since.

BEAUTY OF THE PHILIPPINES.
There Are Lovely, Cool Plateaus-Also
 Marvels of Scenery.

It seems to me, says Hamilton Wright, in Leslie's Weekly, that the least appreciated feature of the Philippines, is the diversity of eli mate. Though the Philippines are all in the tropics, yet frequently within days travel ore will come upon strong climatic contrasts.
 Whether you go to the lovely, cool mountain platcaus or down to the warmer ci.ics of the sea level. you will find that though there are the changes of the seasons, still the cli- mate from day to day varies little. By dressing properly one does not feel the heat so much.
 Manila, the hottest place in the Philippines, is often intensely warm in March, April and May. Yet prostrations never come as they do in New York in midsummer, and above all there are cool nights everywhere.
 Perhaps no country in the world possesses SO many scenic maryels as the Philippines; regions which, were they known, would attract tourists the world over. There Is the beau tiful 'Faol volcano, rising from the middle of a lake; there are the vast Gordilleras, not surpassed in beauty and grandeur by any ranges in the world; there are the wonderful mountain plateans and valleys coy- cred with seas of rich waving grass and bordesed by forested hogbacks which project into them as eapes project into the ocean.
 Here wild deer and boar roam in great abundance, while occasional herds of wild earabao move clumsily over the ground. Perhaps for days in these regions one may not see a native. The island of Luzon alone is over zoo miles long; most all the population live along the sea coast; but were it's wonderful resources developed, many times its present population might dwell there Tn great prosperity.

HAD THE ROBERTS SYMPATHY.
Chisslrous 6rieand Commiserated Woman's Life Partner.

Laneia. the noted Italian automo- bilist, was asked the other day if he did not think motor racing too dan gerous.
 ''Dangerous-yes." NJ. Laneia re- piled. Too dangerous-no. For noth- ing that benefits mankind-and au- tomobiles benefit mankind inexpressi- bly-is too dangerous for a man to undertake.
 T have a good deal of contempt for men who are not brave to the point of rashness l am like high wayman who held up a gasoline run about on the outskirts of Rome.
 This higbwayman stopped the run about with a shot in the air. Then he ran forth from the tomb that had concealed him-the hold-up happened on the Appian Way-and found. to his surprise, only a woman in the little car.
 Where. madam, IS your husband?" he demanded, sternly and suspiciously.
 He's under the seat she an swered. flushing
 Then, said the highwayman. T won't take nothing. It's bad enough tc have a husband like that without being robbed into the bargain.

Keep Your Blood Pure.

No one can be happy, light-hearted and healthy with body full of blood that cannot do it's duty to every part because of it's impurity; therefore. the first and most important work in hand is to purify the blood so that every organ will get the full benefit of healthy circulation. There is no rem. edy so good as that old family rem edy, Brandreth.s Pills. Each pill con tains one grain of the solid extract of sarsaparilla blended with two grains of combination of pure and mild vegetable products, making it a blood purifier uneXcelled in character. One or two taken every night for awhile will produce surprising results.
 Brandreth's Pills have been in use for over a century, and are for sale everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

Horses Still In Demand.

Happily the horse has a faculty for upsetting the gloomy predictions that he is fated to be put out of business by the automobile. The horse business has kept right on developing in spite of the fact that the automobile indus try has been engaged in similar un- dertaking. The demand for horses is still great. The supply of some classes of them is inadequate. The prices are high. The automobile may scare the horse into the ditch, but it isn't likely to crowd him to the wall. There will always be a field for the horse. as there will always be field for the omobile.-Hartford Times.

Archbishop ireland.

Minneapolis, Dec. 30.-Archbishop Ireland in speaking on the church sep afation law now being enforced in France reviewed exhaustively the re- lations of the church and state in that country during the past quarter cen tury. The archbishop denied that the church is opposed te she law of sep aration, but declared that it must be fair separation, carrying with it the liberty and justice that separation means in this country or in England or Germany. He told of the primary causes of the trouble in France, blam- ing few agitators who have q hold on the republic. The archbishop said that this class had forced the issue and that the people have not submit. ted, that they have unfortunately not had the training in understanding and governing to defend their church against its opponents" The archbsh- op declared the trouble would eontin- ue and that the church in the end would defeat the efforts of the state and come into the full exercise of it's rights and liberties.

Street Car Accident.

Cincinnati, Dec. 31.--At least 50 peo- pie were injured. one of whom has since died, in the wreeking of run away electric car on the Warsaw av- enue hill in this city Sunday after noon. The motorman discovered at the top of the hill that he had lost con trol of the car and tried to use the emergency brake, but it failed, and the car ran at an increasingly high speed for five blocks, jumping the track at what Is known as the Horseshoe curve. The car struck telebraph pole and turned turtle, the passengers be- ing thrown ill a heap i'll the mud be- side the track or buried in the wreck of the car. Hiram Leister, a passen- ger. by operating the brake on the rear platform. probably prevented a much worse accident. as his action, made at great personal risk. reduced the speed of the car materially be- fore it left the track.

LAPS LEAVE MEXICO.

Mexico City. Dec. 31.-A dispatch from Guadalajara says that the mi grafton of the Japanese brought to this country under contract 10 work on the Manzanillo extension of the Mexican Central Railway continues According to the correspondent, 150 of these men have arrived in Guadalajara and pur. chased tickets for Fl Paso. Texas The story puts an entirely new version on the affair, for il says that most of the men are well supplied with money and are not laborers. Among their number are professional men, skilled artisans and students. According to the cor respondent, it is the belief of the rail way contractors these men came to Mexico with the sole idea of getting transportation to the United States. On January 20 a steamer from Japan carrying POO bona fde laborers is ex pected to arrive, and the railroad men hope this will relieve the striDgeney in the labor market.

Emphatic Message That Broke Up
 Conference of Politicians.

Four years ago, when ex-GoH. odeli of New York was coming up for re nomination at the convention in Sara toga. there was a plan to put a man on the ticket with him for lieutenant gov ernor te whom 0dell objected strongly.
 The governors father SS years old, a deacon in the church and very strict in religious matters. was in Saratoga.
 There was a conference at one of the hotel cottages that lasted until late in the morning The other lead CTS were trying to force Odell to take the obnoxious man.
 About two o'clock Odell,s father, who had heard what was going on, stalked angrily over to the cottage and rapped on the door. Frank Platt, son of Senator Platt. came to the door.
 ..Well2' said Platt sharply.

Prominent on Lecture Platform.

Senator Tillmaa probably earns more money every year on the lecture platform than any other American who talks to the public for pay. From an authoritative source the statement comes that the South Carolinian's net proceeds thus far this year from his lecture tour are $25.000. Senator Till man is paid from s250 to $500 lee ture and he is constantly in demand. His season is not confined to the sum mery Ghautauqua course and he fills nearly as many dates in the winter as at any other time of the year. In the last four years 1t is said that he has laid aside over s60,000 from his lecture receipts. Henry Watterson perhaps comes next in the matter of earnings on the platform. Champ Clark. of Missouri, ranks high as a popular favorite and makes about twice as much as lecturer as his con. gressional salary.
