Recess From
Day to Day.

esSary Roll Calls and
Allow Business to
Proceed.

Full Of fight and armed for any kind
OF battle. the Republican leaders of the
House jumped into the middle OF things
today and notified John Sharp williams
ard his cohorts that the Democratic fill
buster against legislation must cease.
As soon as Williams had pleased him
self By delaying things with a roll call
or the approval OF the journal, Mr.. Dal-
zell brought In a special rule that had a
bite in every line.
The rule provides that the House. in
stead Of adjourning from day 70 day.
shall take a recess. and on this recess
there shall be no roll call
To Abolish Roll Calls.
II also provides for the abolition of
numerous rou calls on sending appro-
priation bills o conference. There were
other sections in this special rule in
such formidable language that the
Democrats began 70 try TO find out
what they meant. Mr.. Dalzeu submit
ted the rule with a few syell-tUrned re-
marks. in which he covered Mr.. VIII
liams and the filibuster with a fine coat
OF sarcasm and scorn- He pointed out
that the tactics of the Democrats, IL
continued, Eould keep the House in ses-
sion until the COWS came home.
When the rule had been read Mr.. Sui
zer, OF New York. was the only Demo
crat. who mad breath enough left in his
body TO raise his voice above a whisper.
He sprang 10 his feet, and asked Mr.
Dalzell 70 yield him two minutes But
Mr. Su!zer put himself up just Tor

I wouldn't yield you two seconds
said Mr.. Dalzeil. and thers was no kind
ness in his voice when he said those
bitter words

NEURALGIA
nlentS.'

The real meaning of the word Neu-
ralgia is nerve-pain, and any one who
has suffered with the malady will not
be so anxious to know of its nature
as to hear of its antidOte. Though
scarcely recognized by the profession
and people half century ago, 1t is
now one Of the most common and pain
full ailments which afflict humanity.
As now generally understood the word
signifies an affection of the nervous
system, with pain in the course of the
principal nerves.
The two great causes Of Neuralgia
are, ImpOverishment of the Blood
and Deficiency of Nerve Force: and
the treatment of it is not so obscure
as many would be led to suppose. The
first thing is to relieve the pain,
which is done more quickly and salts
factorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than by
any other remedy known; the second
object is to remove the cause. which
is accomplished by the abundant use
of nOurshing food, of nature to
strengthen and give tone to both the
muscular and nervous systems.
