All Remedies had Failed to Cure Min Until h,
 Took the Dr. hchsrfs Dyspspsis Tsb.ets.

If your blood has been impoverished by weakness and headaches from dyspepsia, do not neglect to treat yourself at once with a good tonic and digestant. You will find both in the pr Richards Dyspepsia Tablets.
 NIT George l.. Lambert of No. 70 South Main street. Waterbury, Conn says:
 Il have used Dr Richards Dyspep- sis Tablets for six weeks and have found them all they are represented to be. I can say with all sincerity and truthfulness that they cured me of serious stomach trouble. some thing all other remedies have failel to do. A friend recommended these tablets. I had DO faith but went to ApO;hecarie< Hall snd got a bottle. noticed a marked improvement after taking the first bottle. After the sec onsi bottle was entirely cured of all my oh complaints and the beauty of it is that the cure has been a per maupnt one. thanks to Dr Richari's Dyspepsia Tablets

Preat0enf hooeevelts Reception as
 White House Largely Attended.
 WASHINGTON. Jan. 2.-President and Mrs. Roosevelt's New Years re- ception at the White House was a bril-. liant function and was attended by about $500 persons. The members of the diplomatic corps. officers of the army and navy and representatives of the national and District government and of the citizea public attended President Roosevelt gave each of his callers a cordial shake of the hand.
 It was generally remarked that the proportion of negroes in the line was smaller than in previous years.
 There was an unusually large mum Der of children fin line. and all were greeted cordially by the president One of the most amusing figures in the line was a ten-year-Old boy witf soiied hands and clothes who carried q pair of roller skates thrown over his shoulder. The president laughed heartily as he wished the little fellow q happy New Year.
 A pretty little eiri carried great white -Tefdy bear past the receiving party and provoked q hearty hush from the crowd zathered in the blus room

ed it's powers, nor do permit myself to shrink from its responsibilities. Sensible of its magnitude and of my own limitations, undertake the task of administration without illusion. But you do not require the impossible. You have bound me to earnest and honest endeavor in the interest of all the people according to the best of my ability, and that obligation, with the help of God, shall discharge.
 We have reason to congratulate our selves that coincident with our pros perity there is an emphatic assertion of popular rights and keen resent ment of public wrongs. There is no panacea in executive or legislative ac- tion for all the ills of society which spring from the frailties and defects of the human nature of its members. But this furnishes no excuse for com placent inactivity and no reason for the toleration of wrongs made possi- ble by defective or inadequate legisla- tion or by administrative partiality or inefficiency.
 Ut is sometimes said that we have laws enough and that the need is not of more law, but of better enforcement of the law. There is abundant occa- sion for caution against nasty legisla- tion. Whether or not we have laws enough, we certainly have enough of ill considered legislation, and the ques- ton is not as to the quantity, but as to the quality of our present and of our proposed enactments.
 "The security of our government, de- spite it's constitutional guarantees, is found in the intelligence and public spirit of it's citizens and in it's ability to call to the work of administration men of single minded devotion to the public interests, who make unselfish service to the state point of knightly honor"
 There were two interesting develop ments in the legislative caucus. Most significant politically was the victory of John c. Marriott of Richmond, sup ported for the position of stenographer of the senate by President Herbert Parsons of the New York county Re- publican committee, over George Shot, well. who was understood to be favor ed by Republican State Chairman Woodruff. Much interest was also evoked by the selection of Senator Patrick H. McCarren of Brooklyn as chairman of the Democratic caucus committee in the senate. giving him 6 commanding position in his party in that body. In the assembly Demo- cratic caucus Assemblyman James Oliver of New York was made the can didate for speaker. which carries with it the minority leadership long held by Assemblyman George M. Palmer of Schoharie. who failed of renomination l this year.
