FINANCE COM
MITTEES WEAK
Both House and Senate Are In Need
of Stronger Men.
Made Up OF ronsntities Because No
Financial Trouble Was Expected
Feared Their Legislation Would
Favor Wall Street Rather Than
People They Represent.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The recent
financial disturbance in New York and
the furry in other parts OF the country
will result IN considerable discussion CT
finance at the coming session of con-
gress and will produce an unusually
large number OF bills to amend the
king laws. The subject will be dis
cussed by the president in his NEST age
and the congressional record will be
loaded with all KINDS of talk as to the
advisability Of changing the currency
laws of the nation. But the more con-
sentative men who have viewed the sit
uation in its broadcast light believe there
will be no I'm nc al legislation and in
their judgment the talk will come to
nothing.
If these views prove to be incorrect
and financial legislation is undertaken,
it will be mo unfortunate for the
country, because the legislation will be
intrusted to two committees which are
not property constituted to handle a
subject of this importance. The senate
committee is largely composed of men
who are incapable of framing safe 6nan-
cial legislation or who would take adj
vantage of the situation to put through
legis station in the interest of Wall street
rather than in the interest OF the entire
community. The house committee is
made up almost entirely of men who
are incapable of passing judgment upon
subject Of such consequence.
The senate committee on finance is
constituted as follows: Nelson W.
Aldrich. of Rhode Island; William B.
Allison, OF Iowa; Julius @. Burrows,
of Michigan; Thomas G. Platt of New
York; Henry G. Hansbrough, of North
Dakota; Boies Penrose, CT Pennsylva-
mia; Eugene Hale, of Maine; John w.
Daniel, of Virginia; fernando d.
Money, of Mississippi; Joseph w. Bail
ey. of Texas; James P. Taliaferro, Of
Florida.
The house committee is composed oil
the following members: Charles N
Fowler, of New Jersey; George W
Prince. of Illinois; William A. Cal
derhead, of Kansas; Llewellyn Powers
of Maine; Henry McMorran, of Michi
gan; Capell L. Weems, of Ohio; Elijah
B. Lewis, Of Georgia; Arsene P. Pujo
of Louisiana; Carter Glass, of Virginia
Oscar w. Gillspe, Of Texas; Ole M
James, of Kentucky; George s. Legare
of South Carolina; George d. Nc
Creary, of Pennsylvania; Joseph Fl
Knowland, of California; George E
Waldo, of New York; Everis A. Hayes
of Califor ia; John w. Weeks, o

RHEUMATISM RECIPE
PREPARE THIS SIMPLE HOMEMADE
MIXTURE YOURSELF.
Buy the Ingredients from Any Druggist
Ia Your Town and Shake Them
in a Bottle to Mix This.

A we'll known authority on Rheuma-
tism gives the readers Of large New
York daily paper the following valus-
BILE, yet simple and harmless prescrip-
ton, which any one can easily prepare
at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, ons-half
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the Ingredients can be
obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, being
vegetable extraction, are harmless to
take.
This pleasant mixture, If taken regu-
larly for few days, is said to overcome
almost any case of Rheumatism. The
pain and swelling, if any, diminishes
with each dose, until permanent results
are obtained, and without iEjuring the
stomach. While there are many So
called Rheumatism remedies, patent
medicines, ETC., some OF which do give
relief, few really give permanent re-
suits, and the above will, no doubt, be
g eatly appreciated by many sufferers
here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of even the
small towns elicits the information that
these drugs are harmless and can be
b,ught separately, or the druggists will
mix the prescript ion II asked to.

YEARS WORK LOST.
Survey of Alaska Boundary Must Be
Repeated.

Vancouver, B c., Nov. Invaluable
photographs and thousands of dollars
worth Of official data gained by the in
ternational boundary surveyors during
summers working delimiting the
Alaska line, were lost by the upsetting
of canoe in the Bradfield river. Five
men narrowly escaped with their lives.
Officers of the two governments are now
devising means of recovering the lost
property, which, however, may have
been carried many miles in the swift
current. ]. M. Bates, Canadian bound
airy surveyor, arrived here with the
news on the steamer Princess May.
eff the Photographic negatives we
lost cannot be recovered" said Bates,
"the entire survey Of the Iscott river
section will have to be repeated next
summer. We struck a submerged tree
and the canoe turned sideways and al
most split in two. 1 became entangled
in line and was swept under water.
Three others shared the same adven-
ture. Later we were rescued, but not
vestige of our foods remained. We
obtained graphing irons and a water
telescope at Juneau, but never got a
sight of the outfit"

all, will, according to the governor
statement, be called next week and the

Presidents Experiences In Cross
Country Riding Near Washington.
Formerly we could ride across coun-
try in any direction around Washing
ton; and almost as soon as we left the
beautiful tree-shaded streets Of the city
we were In the real country, writes
President Roosevelt in Scribner's. But
as Washington grows it naturally
and to me most grettably-becomes
less and less like its former, glorified
village self and wire fencing has de-
stroyed our old cross-country rides
Fortunately there are now many de-
lightful bride trails in Rock Greek
park and we have fixed up number
Of good jumps at suitable places-a
stone wall, water jump, a bank with
ditch, two or three post and rails.
about four feet high, and some stiff
brush hurdles, one Of 3 feet inches.
The last, which is the only formid-
able jump, was put up to please two
sporting members Of the administra-
ton, Bacon and Meyer. Both Of them
school their horses over 1t AMI my two
elder boys and Fitzhugh Lee, my cav
airy aid, also school my horses over it.
On one of my horses. Roswell. have
gone over it myself, and as l weigh 200
pounds without my saddle, think that
the jump, with such weight, in cold
blood, should be credited to Roswell
for righteousness. Roswell Is a bay
gelding, Audrey a black mare; they
are Virginia horses. In the spring Of
1907 1 had photographs taken of them
going over the various jumps. Ros-
well is a fine jumper and usually goes
at his jumps in a spirit of matter-of-
fact enjoyment. But he now and then
shows queer kinks in his temper. On
one Of these occasions he began by wish
ing to rush his jumps and by trying
to 90 over the wings instead of the
jumps themselves. He fought hard for
his head and as it happened that the
best picture we got of him in the air
was at this particular time, it gives a
wrong idea of his ordinary behavior
and also, 1 sincerely trust, a wrong
idea Of my hands. Generally he takes
his jumps like a gentleman.

REPORT BIG STEEL OUTPUT.
Production Probably VIII Be curtaiIsd
This Month.

Cleveland, o., Nov. 11.-Reports
from the building trades reveal some
remarkable conditions. Although for
a number Of weeks new business has
been reduced 10 small volume, statis-
tics of production for the past month
show that seldom in the history of the
trade have such large tonnages be, n
turned out. For exan p g, the Ameri-
can Bridge company, the largest produc-
er Of structural material, turned out
80, 600 tons last month, but sold only
one-third of that amount.
A steel corporation made surprising
records at Pittsburg. The Carnegie
company broke records at its various
plants. The Illinois Steel company
not only broke all It's previous records
but did sc in every individual depart
ment in all three works, South Chicago,
Milwaukee and Joliet.
Even more surprising than all these
Was the blast furnace production fol
OF Der, which, according tc the stats.
tics Of the Iron Trade Review reached
new high point in the history Of the
trade, the production being 1852, 53t
tons, compared with the largest output
2,291 900 tons in May of this year. II
other words the production for October
was at the rate OF about 20, 900, 900 toni
year.
The statistics for November vii
doubtless tell vastly different story
Many sheet and tin plate mills have
been closed and the sheet bar mills o
the steel corporation at Columbus an,
Bellaire are idle. The corporation nov
has 81 blast furnaces out Of commission
and independent concerns are curtailinl
their product. Hence it may be conf
IDENTIFY expected that the output of boil
pig iron and finished materials would
be much smaller this month than 70
any previous month of the year.

Can't Prove Story.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 12.-S. A..
Cunningham, publisher of the Confede-

organ Of the United Confederate veter-

location that General Grant, Admiral
Farragut and General Thomas had an

commissions in the Confederate army,
that at the time of the publication OF
Captain De Rosset's communication in
the Veteran he had misgivings as to the
statement and an investigation had con-
WINGED him that il was erroneous.

BRAZIL OUTLET FOR JAPAN.
Negotiations Pending for immigration
of 5000 Annually.


Washington, Nov. 11.-Barred from
the United States, Japanese coolies are
turning to Brazil. where, according to
the Brazilian Review, they hope to
gain ready admission. This newspaper,
published in Rio de Jsneiro, say:
cit is reported from Yokohama that
North America and Australia, being
practically closed to the Japanese i'm
migrants, Japan will now turn its at
tentlon to Brazil, as a point toward
which its surplus population shall be
directed, and that negotiations will be
opened with the Brazilian government
forthwith to arrange for the landing Of
1000 Japanese in that republic every
year. From Milan also comes an an
nouncement to the effect that the jap
anese government has proposed to the
Italian ambassador at Toxic that til Q
Navigazione Generate Italiana sha
undertake the transport of these emil
grar t. and for that purpose shall estab-
lish new steamship service from Yo-
kohama to Genoa. From Genoa to
Brazil, as is we'll known, the Naviga-
zione Generate already runs direct
line. There is said to be no doubt that
the Italian company will establish the
new line, seeing a guarantee for the
transport OF 5000 third-class passen-
gers from Yokohama to Genoa every
year"

Chicago, Nov. 11.-That the financial
furry has practically ceased is the
opinion of ex-United States Senator
William A. Clark, of Montana, who
was in Chicago today en- his way to
Arizona, where he will inspect various
mining properties which he controls
there. He said the recent heavy ship
ments of gold from Europe have aided

A "cURE" FOR cUssING.
The PeEitent Scotsman Found His
Load "A Heavy One.

LOA0 n hcaNy Oncs
A clergyman in Scotland observed
with much perturbation that & member
of his congregation was greatly given
to the use Of strong language. Over
and over again he demonstrated with
the man to give up the bad habit In
time the man himself came to see the
error Of his ways, and desired no less
earnestly to break himself Of the use
of bad language. The difficulty, how
ever, was to find method Of doing so.
One day the clergyman hit upon a hap
py thought.
"Get a bag" he said to the man, 'and
every time you swear put a pebble into
1t. At the end of the month you will
bring that bag to me. l will count the
pebbles and see what the effect has
been"
The man accepted the idea with alac-
rity. He got a bag and, religiously,
every time he swore what Mr.. Gilbert
in the "Pinafore" calls big, big Dr.
DC duly put a pebble into it. At the
end Of the month he went to the cler-
gyman. taking the bag with him 1t
was not an easy task, for, as any one
might see, the bag was very full and
very heavy. He went into the clergy
mans study and put the bag on the ia
ble
The minister looked up with a seri-
GUS expression. This is very serious,
my friend. am sorry to see you have
80 many pebbles in the bag"
"Hoot, minister exclaimed the man
cheerfully; ''this is only the DEVILS
the damns' are all at the dikeside In
another bag They were over heavy

NEGROES WITH QUEER POWER.
Georgia Tots Can Tell of Things
They Have Never Seen.

Georgia Tots Can Tell of Things
They Have Never Seen.
At Alexander, In Butte County, Geor-
gia, there are two little negroes who
have some insight into the realms Of
the occult. says the Baltimore Sun.
The little girl is - and the boy is 10
years old. Their father Is d negro root
doctor. One day, while the mother AMI
Hattie were at the springs, some 200
yards distant from the house. her moth
er told Hattie TO run and get the bucket
and take some water back with her.
Hattie looked around and up, and
seemed to study a while, and turned to
her mother and said: 1T is all right !;
Billy will be here In a minute with the
bucket and take the water with him.
This is the manner in which their pow
er was discovered and their father
made them develop It.
Many people have visited these little
negroes and have them tell them things.
One young attorney. who had been hav-
ing a prank played on him-his shoes
being filed with water every morning
decided that he would go to Alexander
and find out II they could tell him who
it was. He was surprised to find out
how close the description came to one
OF his roommates, and when he return
ed he accused his friend of 1t, who. OF
course, professed ignorance of the plot
against him. However, 1t leaked out
that the attorney had been to see the
little clairvoyants and that was the
end of 1t.
When asked how many were In GER
tain family, one Of the family being the
questioner. the boy told exactly how
many; the girl hesitated and finally the
number came to her. Then they told
her how many were dead.
Another story is told Of their descrip
tive powers. A woman went to see then
and during her talk with them they
said that the womans mother was Wis
