REMEDY.
Pitchfork Statesman Has Cure for Cold
That Many Will Cry For.

Special to The Republican.
Washington, d. c., Feb. 7.-Senator
Tillman has given out his stock rem
edy for colds. 1t is a pleasant remedy,
at least the "pitchfork statesman" SO
declares, and undoubtedly it will soon
become the vogue. Here it is, in Sen
ator Tillman's own words:
Get plenty of hot water-just as hot
as you can stand it-and soak your
feet. See that you get into bed i'm
mediately after soaking your feet and
cover up well, lest you get chilled.
The other ingredients you can have
served in bed. Have you some real
hot water and cut up three lemons
and put them into the water. Next
you get a good tumbler of rye whisky,
and place your hat on the bed post.
Just keep your y on the bed post
and drink until you see two hats. You
may get into a little sweat, but when
you wake up in the morning you'u feel
like a 2-year-old."

HARDLY PROBABLE THAT ADMIN
lSTRATION WILL MAKE NEW
MOVE TO INTERFERE IN
CONGO NATTER.
Strong Disposition Manifested Month
and Half Ago, Senators Flooded
With Petitions Indicating Wide
spread Public Interest, but Now
Interest Seems to Be Tagging and
Senators Not Taking Notice.

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. IA dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Just at the present time there is
hot much prospect of Intervention by
the United States in the affairs of the
Congo Free State. Six weeks ago
there was a strong disposition mani
tested by the administration to do
something for the poor people in that
part of Africa, who seemed to be vic
tins of a horrible oppression.
Senators Also Interested.
Many members of the senate also
were in favor Of Intervention a couple
Of months ago, because they had been
flooded with petitions indicating a
widespread pubic sentiment in this
country that the United States should
do something on humanitarian grounds
for the black people of the Congo.
Concert of Action Possible.
"If action could have been secured
in December it is likely the senate
would have passed the Lodge resolu-
ton and the president would have
taken some diplomatic steps to secure
a concert of action Of the European
nations in some way to bring relief
to the Congo natives.
Senators Lose Interest.
"Since then, however, the danger OF
European complications and the pos
sible futility of any help for the ma
lives, have become nor and more ap.
parent, until senators seem to have
lost interest in the Congo question"

TRANSFER BILL NUW
UP TO THE GOVERNOR

little scare the friends of the bill
had there from its publication in The
Republican. The bill as published
contained what was palpably an error
on the part of the drawer of the bill
in providing for the special tax levied
upon the property Of the respective
counties. If it had gone through the
legislature As 1t was printed, the de-
feet, in the estimation of members of
the Albany county delegation, would
have been fatal. The wires were heat
ed up between this city and the home
of President Tisdel, the latter being
informed that the bill as printed had
been withdrawn and a better measure
put in its place, making a fiat appro-
priation of $25, 900 for the purpose.

New York, Feb. THE sensation of
the day at the Thaw trial was the ap-
pearance on the stand of Evelyn Mes
bitt Thaw, the prisoners wife. She
made an impressive and fine witness,
telling her sympathetic story with
clearness and apparent modesty. She
was carefully handled by Mr.. Delmas,
and the impression the young woman
made was largely to the advantage OF
herself and her husband.
The Cream of the Story.
The court room was intensely quiet
when she gave the crux of her testi'
muny. That was when she and Thaw
were in Paris in 1908.
MIR. Thaw asked me to marry him.
said Evelyn, land l declined. DO you
not love me?' he asked. Yes. I love
you,' | replied. Well. why will you
not be my wife?' and I answered him
honestly, Because of an incident in
my life with Mr.. Sanford White"
Truthful and Sincere.
The girl told this with quietly avert
ed face and downcast eyes, and its
%truthfulness and sincerity seemed tc
affect the whole court o
Betrayed by White.
Afterwards Mrs. Thaw. continuing
her testimony, said she told Thaw ev-
erything connected with Mr.. White.
She said that when she was 16 she
was lured into Whites apartments by
a girl friend, on the pretense of going
to see O grand bail. room; that White
gave her champagne aud she lost con
seriousness, and her betrayal was then
accomplished.
Thaw Knew It All.
The whole story she told Thaw in
Paris. The effect on him was ter
rible. He sobbed and walked the
floor and acted like a mad a But
later on she married Harry in Pitts
burg, his brother being present at the
ceremony.
The Night of the Killing.
Prior to relating this dramatic cpl
sode MS. Thaw described the event
occurring on the night of the killing
of White. She said she was born
Christmas day, 1884; that on the even
ing of June 25 last she went to the
Cafe Martin to dinner with her hus'
band, Thomas McCaleb and Truxtor
