OUTLINE or FIGHT ON HOUSE or
LORDS GIVEN BY KING.
The Third Parliament Was Opened
With the Usual Ceremonies
Speech From the Throne.

London, Feb. 22.-'King Edward
opened in state the third Parliament
Of his reign. In q momentous speech
from the throne the king outlined the
plan OF the ministerial campaign
against the House Of Lords as follows:
!, Recent experience has disclosed
serious difficulties, due to recurring
differences Of strong opinion between
the two branches OF the legislature
Proposals will DO LAID before you with
all convenient speed to define the re-
lations between the houses of Parlia
nent 80 as to secure the undivided
authority Of the House Of Commons
over finance and its predominance In
legislation.
tThese measures, In the opinion Of
my advisers, should provide that this
house should be so constituted and
empowered as to exercise impartially
In regard to proposed legislation the
functions of initiation, revision and
subject to proper safeguards OF delay"
The state opening was marked by
all the pomp and pageantry associ'
ated with these occasions since the as
cension of Edward VII. The royal
progress through the troop lined
streets from Buckingham Palace to
the palace at Westminster drew the
usual huge crowds, but widespread as
has been always the interest In these
brilliant functions, both among the
public and those personally partici-
pating in them, this ceremony had an
attraction all Its own.
Uppermost In the minds Of thou
sands who witnessed the spectacle In
the streets and among the occupants
Of the red clothed benches in the
gilded chamber was the thought Of the
forthcoming fight which threatens the
very existence Of the hereditary
house OF peers and the conjecture
whether they were spectators of acts
preluding historic changes IN cen
turtles old institutions Of Great
Britain.

OF the ninety odd millions of people
in our own countr today how many
are aware that the first copper" or
one cent piece issued by authority of
the United States of America bore the
legend MIND YOUR Business?
And vet such is fact. An ordinance
for establishing mint Of the United

passed by Congress on Oct. 16, 1885.
On July s. 1887. the Government is

and that they should bear the follow

fFrom the Rochester Times.)

Hall a century ago there was no city
in the world where an eminent special
ist had the opportunities that were
presented to one in London; realizing
this fact Dr. Barker. after graduating
from Heidelbprg, located in London.
His practice grew so rapidly that at
the end of five years he established
the largest practice of any physician
IN that city. His practice was confined
to chronic cases only in the treatment
Of rheumatism. catarrh. Kidney and
bladder diseases. He us", onr I"N,'r-
failing prescription-th,s same pr
scription he had written thousands of
times; and he had seen patients come
into his Office on crutches, who said
they had been troubled with rheuma-
tism for Il and 90 years, and after they
used this special prescription for two
or three days. they would come walk
ing to his Office as ninbly as a school
boy, and thank him for the good he
had done them. The doctor said in an
interview that one man about As years
old came to him one day and said he
had been injured while working at the
carpenter trade about twenty years be-
fore, and had suffered constantly since
with kidney trouble. He had tried
everything to get relief, but nothing
seemed to do linn any good. He asked
the Doctor if hn really knew anything
that would cure him and he told him
of never-failing remedy for all
chronic cases like his He wrote him
n prescription and told him to take

This man came back t. his Office in
just four days ard said he had not

remarkable cases had been treated by
Dr. Barker with this same prescription
that he was prevailed upon in the inter
