Nav Adjourn June 1.

Washington, April 23. - Congress
will adjourn before the middle of June
and possibly by June 1, it is believed
by President Taft and the administra-
ton leaders. Before that time, it is
expected, most Of the so-called admin
istration measures now before con-
gress will have been passed, or if not
they will be in such shape that they
can be enacted into law SOC after
congress meets in December.
Operating. in favor of the early pas
sage of five of the administration bills
which are the railroad bill, the state
hood bill, the postal savings bank
bill, the conservation bill and the anti
injunction bill, are two factors.
One is the fact that a number of the
republican members Of each house
wish to get back home as soon as pos
sible to prepare for the coming con-
gressional election. Another reason
is that the leaders feel they must dc
something to offset the democratic
factories in the fourteenth Massachu-
sets and thirty-second New York dis
tricts.

HE isn't interested in science at

outside all the time he did not once

CITIZENSHIP OF REPUBLIC
COLONEL ROOSEVELT TALKS TO
PARLslANs ON LIVE TOPICS.
Has a Most Distinguished Audience and
Talks on Race Suicide and tho
Qualifications Of Citizens.

Paris, April 23.-Theodore Roosevelt,
former president of the United States,
delivered his eagerly awaited lecture on
citizenship in a Republic in the sor-
bonnie this afternoon. His audience was
composed of all the members of the
French cabinet, students selected from
the University of Paris, and many dis
tinguished guests, by whom the occas-
ion was regarded as the most important
feature of the distinguished Americans
visit to France.
In the course of his address Roose.
welt made reference to the subject Of
human rights and property rights in
the following paragraphs:
my position as regards the monied
interests can be put in few words. In
every civilized society property rights
must be carefully safeguarded. Or
dinarily and in the great majority Of
cases human rights and property rights
are fundamentally and, in the long run,
Identical; but when it clearly appears
that there is a real conflict between
them, human rights nave the upper
hand; for prope y belongs to man and
not man to property"
Colonel Roosevelt received a re-
markable ovation in the S~orbonneud.
Every bit of room in the amphitheatre
was occupied and the lecture was re-
peatedly and enthusiastically appleaud-
ed.
Outside the building fully rs, 900 peo-
! pie were massed in the streets and &C
claimed the former president as he ar
rived and again when he took his de-
parture.

LOSS OF FRUIT CROP.
Is Very Heavy in Many sates-Badly
DAMAGED BY Cold.

Chicago, April 23.-In the most dis
astrous and far-reaching storm ex-
perienced in a generation, damage to
budding crops, fruits and vegetables
amounting to more than $4,000, 900 has
been wrought in the middle west.
The Michigan fruit belt-the back
bone of the fruit districts described
as almost wholly wiped out for the
season. Freezing temperature in Illi-
nois and Iowa not only has killed buds,
flowers and fruits, but threatens to
ruin oats.
South Water Street Commission men
agreed late today that the middle west
will pocket the greatest loss it has
ever experienced because of the storm.
They also say that high prices will
automatically begin at once.
Experts here estimate the losses In
ten states as follows: Illinois &c.
600, 900, Iowa $1O,O OO,o 900, Indiana ST.
600, 600, Michigan $4,000, 900, Wisconsin
$4,000 00, Kansas $1,0O0,O 900, Kentucky
ST. 500, 600, Missouri $4,000, 900, Ohio
$500, 600, Nebraska 81, 500, 900.

Mccumber's Condition Serious.

Washington, April 23.-U. S. Senator
McCumber has been, and still is, a very
sick man. His per-onal friends from
North Dakota here have been greatly
alarmed over his condition. They have
realized that his condition is a great
deal more grave than the repor: sent
out by the press dispatches. The opera
tion was a result of an abcess in the
PROSTATE glands.
The greatest danger is from the pos
sibility of blood poisoning and when
the senator had a chill this week, fol-
lowed by high temperature, the situa-
ton was regarded as most serious. The
senator's condition for the next few
days will be watched with a great deal
of interest.

ROOTS THAT NEEDED SOAKING
Pat at Least Told the Exact Truth in
His Application for
Whisky.

The town of Dedham is under pro-
hibition law, apothecaries alone being
permitted to sell alcoholic stimulants.
The other day a son of the Emerald
Isle entered a drug store there, and,
taking a bottle from his pocket, asked
for a quart of whisky. The salesman
asked to what use it was to be put,
and the reply was:
ITO soak roots in it,"
The order was filled, and the clerk,
after handing over the bottle and it's
contents, inquired, in a conversational
manner:
What kind of roots are you going
to soak?"
Pocketing the bottle, the customer
said:
1.-THE roots of my tongue, be jabers!"

Women sufering from any form of female weakness arein-
vited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by
women. A woman can freely talk Of her private illness
to a woman; thus has been established this confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which
has never been broken. Never has she published a testi-
monial or used a letter without the written consent of the
writer, and never has the company allowed these conf
dreds of thousands Of them in their files will attest.
Out Of the vast volume Of experience which Mrs. Pink
ham has to draw from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge needed in your case.
She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her
advice has helped thousands. Surely any woman, rich or
poor, should be glad to take advantage of this generous
offer of assistance. Address Mrs. Pinkham, care Of Lydia
E. Pinkham Medicine Co, Lynn, Mass.

This Fact that in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are con-
hiding your private ills to a woman-a woman whose ex-
perience with womens diseases covers twenty-five years.
The present Mrs. Pinkha1n, daughter-inlaw of Lydia E.
Pinkhan, was for years under her direction, and has ever
since her decease continued to advise women.
Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad
to worse, knowing well that they ought to have immediate
assistance, but a natural modesty causes them to shrink
examinations of even their family physician. Such ques-
tioning and examination is unnecessary. Without cost
you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual
experience is great.

Yuma, it would seem, is to bo. de prived of its status as an important sta tion in the United States immigration service, according to the tenor of orders from the head bureau at Washington. Hereafter the station here will be uhder the supervision of the statioa- at Tucson and with but one local officer. Yuma was furmerly looked upon as an impor- baut station in the service owing to its location close to the Mexican boundary, but so vigilantly has the inspection of aliens been carried out here that there have been of late but few attempts to smuggle Chinese or Japanese by this route, lessening the importance of maintaining extensive service here.
 Inspector w. A. Brazee, who has been stationed here for half dozen years, has as yet received no orders as to whether he will be transferred to another stationor be retained at Yuma. Inspector J.. B. Shipman has been transferred to Tucson.
