Even Chance to Defeat 1t
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s-The friends
of the river and harbor bill carrying
an appropriation of eighty odd mil
lion dollars are greatly alarmed. They
gravely admit tonight that the
chances for its passage are about
even. Any slight mishap may cause
the defeat of the entire bill.
a proposition is now made to have
the bill follow the naval appropriation
bill in the Senate. In the meantime
enemies Of the bill, consisting largely
of members whose requests for ap-
preparations were ignored by the COM
mittee, are planning all sorts of
schemes to defeat the measure. They
aim to have the bill delayed as long
as possible in the Senate, where more
than $8,000,000 has been added to the
Burton bill. and then when 1t comes
to the House to continue the fight
and get the bill in such a mess that
solution of the matter by a confer

Lafcadio Hearn's Testimony - -
Strength Of Japanese Wine.

There Is no liquor In the world upon
which man becomes 30 quickly in
toxicated as Japanese sake (rice
wine), and yet none OF which the ef-
fects last SO short time. The in
toxlcation Is pleasant as the effect Of
opium or hasheesh. It is soft, pleas
ant. luminous exhilaration, everything
becoming brighter. happier, lighter;
then you get very sleepy.
At Japanese dinners 1t is the rule to
become slightly exhilarated, but not to
drink enough to talk thickiy or walk
crooked. The ability to drink at ban
quets requires practice-long practice.
There are banquets OF many kinds,
and the man who Is invited to one at
which extensive drinking may be ex.
pected is careful to start in upon an
empty or almost empty stomach. By
not eating one can drink a good deal.
The cups are very small and Of many
curious shapes. One may be expected
to empty so. A quart of sake Is a good
deal; two quarts require iron nerves
to stand. But among the Japanese
there are wonderful drinkers. At q
military officers banquet captain
offered me tumbler holding good
pint Of sake. almost tainted at the
sight Of 1t. for 1t was only the first.
But friend said to me: "Only drink
a little and pass It back" which I did.

Upon tho Highest Andean Peak.

Miss Annie Peck, whose chief pleas
ure is climbing mountains, has re-
turned to New York from Peru, beaten
In her attempt to climb the highest
Of the Andes, beaten not by the noun
tain itself, but the worthlessness Of
the men she employed as guides and
porters on the expedition. She Is con-
WINGED that she would have reached
the summit but for the faults of her
men and says she Is going back with
Swiss mountain men to make another
attempt.
AS 1t was she reached a height of
$4,000 feet, being then about 1000 feet
above the summit. This was at her
first attempt. One of her men deserted
and the rest got drunk on the alcohol
which was carried as fuel for cook
ing. Besides they were all afraid Of
the trip and especially as they ap-
preached the top of the mountain, of
which they have a superstitious dread.
The second attempt was like the
first, except that the men gave out
sooner and so less progress was made
before the attempt had to be aband-
oned.

vers of the modernized Chinese army
In the neighborhood of Chang-te-fu.
He describes them as repetition Of

inefflciency of the officers is still con-
spicuous and the field training of the
men inadequate, but the material is

been little better than q rabble.

NERVOUS HEADACHES

Most Cases and Should Interest
EVERY Sufferer.

Every Sufferer.
Nobody who has not endured the
suffering caused by nervous head
ache can realize the awful agony Of
its victims. Worst of all. the ordin-
airy treatment cannot be relied upon
to cure nor even to give relief. Some
doctors will say that IL a person Is
subject to these headaches there is
nothing that can be done to prevent
their recurrence.
Nervous headaches, as well as neu-
ralgia, are caused by lack OF nutrition
tho nerves are starved. The only
way to feed the nerves Is through the
blood and 1t Is in this way that DR..
Williams Pink Pills have accom-
plished so many remarkable cures.
Mrs. Addie Merrill, of 80 Union
Street, Auburn, Me-, says: For
years I suffered from nervous head
aches, which would come on me every
Ave or six weeks and continue for
several days. The pain was SO severe
that Iwould be obliged to go to bed
for three or four days each time. It
was particularly intense over my right
eye. tried medicines but got no re-
lief. had no appetite and when
the headache passed away felt as IL
I had been sick for a month. My
blood was thin and was pale, weak
and reduced In weight.

them. first noticed that they be-
gan to give me an appetite and
