Consideration of Appointment of New
Jersey Man to Supreme Court Bench

noon-General Fitness Attacked

Washington, d. c., March l3.-For
more than three hours last evening, the
Senate in one of the stormiest and long
est executive sessions in the recent his
tory of Congress debated the confirma-
ton of Chancellor Pitney, whom Presi-
dent Taft nominated to succeed the late
Justice Harlan of the United States SUI
preme court and then agreed to resume
the debate to-day and to vote in the
afternoon.
A rough canvass last night showed the
vote probably viii be very close, with
some danger of Pitneys rejection.
Senator Culberson OF Texas led the
fight. with other senators bitterly assail.

Milady's Toilet Table
By Mime. D'MlLLE

The electric needle can be resorted to
for the removal of superfluous hairs, but
the operation is expensive and requires a
first-class operator. Wild hairs can he
quickly and easily removed at home by
the application of delatone paste. Mix
enough powdered delatone with water
and cover the hairy surface, apply anil

then wash the skin and the hairs will
be gone
A clear, soft and satiny complexion
can be achieved by rubbing the face, neck
and arms gently each morning with a
solution made by dissolving an original

witch hazel. This is wonderful com

LANDING AT RAKAHANGA.
Risky Feat and One That Sorely
Tries the Nerves.


Rakahanga is little coral atoll in
the south sea, not very far from New
Zealand. Few people ever visit It.
and to judge from the account in Mr.
Frank Burnett's Through Tropic
Seas" Of the difficulties that attend a
landing there none would care to go a
| second time.
At Rakahanga the feeling IS that
only by a miracle can a safe passage
be made through what, by a stretch
of the Imagination, is called the en-
trance to the lagoon. Imagine once
good entrance INSTRUCTED by wall Of
coral rising to within few feet Of the
surface of the water. This coral wall
is built by that wonderful creature,
the coral polyp. Over it break with
inconceivable fury huge ocean pillows
that travel with the speed of race
horses, lashing and churning the water
into a milk white foam and with a
deafening roar throwing the spray to
such a height that it may be seen miles
away.
The backwash Of every breaker
forms, on the outside of the wall Of
rock, chasm fathoms deep, which is
again filed up by the next rushing
wave. To cross the abyss and reach
the quiet shelter of the lagoon is
difficulty that the islander shows the
greatest skill In surmounting
His boat-a long, low, fat bottomed
affair, built much like halibut dory,
manned usually by six paddlers be-
sides the steersman--is brought to the
very verge of the boiling caldron, and
there 1t is held till the opportune mo-
ment arrives. Since that sometimes
does not occur for five or ten minutes
the passenger has plenty Of time TO
the sublime scene and to wonder how
In the world that fearful turmoil Of
water is to be crossed
The delay does not tend TO compose
his nerves, but il he is observant he
will notice that about every five or
six minutes three giant pillows in
quick succession roll majestically in.
When the last Of the three has passed
and the chasm has been filed up the
paddlers give a frightfuf yell that ter
rifles the unsuspecting passenger al
most to death, dig in their paddles and
shoot the boat forward like an arrow
from bow.
Before the backwnsh can re-empty
the chasm the boat is across The
passenger has hardly time to grasp
how it is done before the paddlers
have sprung to the reef and pulled
the boat clear of the next roller, usu-
ally small one.
In entering the lagoon the chief risk
is that of an upset after crossing the
chasm and a ducking in two or three
feet Of water, but on going out If the
boat does not reach the smooth water /
before the next succeeding swell
breaks, woe betide it and its crew. for
nothing will prevent its being swamp
ed and carried, with all hands, back I
into the awful abyss by the thrush of /
broken water, out of which only the /
strongest and most sEilful swimmers |
can emerge.

Does Your Skin Burn?
Is It Infiamed or Irritated?

A simple application of the new rem
edy Cadum will stop the burning and
itching, and prevent infection from dis.
ease germs. Cadum is an antiseptic that
is wonderfully soothing and healing to
an infamed. irritated or broken skin, and
can be used with confidence for skin and
scalp troubles of adults and infants. 4
small cut, scratch. sore or wound is a
nesting place for disease germs. Cadmn
should be in every home for immediate
use in all such emergencies, and for
prompt application in skin troubles. 1t
has proved a blessing to many who have
suffered for years from tormenting and
disfguring skin diseases. Cadum acts
quickly upon eczema, pimples, blotches,
rashes. eruptions, sores, rough skin,
chafngs, itching piles. OF all druggists,

MAINE DEMOCRATS GAIN.
Augusta Stands BY the Governor and
Elects His Candidate.

Portland, Me-, March l3.-Democrats
elected four MAYORS to one for the Re-
publicans in Eve city elections in Maine
Monday. In each instance the pres
ent mayor received another term. Gov
erhor Frederick w. Plaisted's appeal to
Augusta Democrats that the reelection

Democratic success in September, was
successful. Moves defeated Frank G..
harrington. his Republican opponent by
60 votes. a decrease of A in the ma
iority which Moves received last year
The Democrats not only retained con-
troll of the government of the capital
city but they gained two couneilmen
The other mayors elected are: Charles
w. Mullan, Democrat. Bangor; Edgar
L. Hanson, Democrat. Ballast; Albert
C. Marcille Democrat, Biddeford, and
Victor II. Mutty, Republican, Brewer.

Gratis made clean sweeps except for the
defeat of a Democratic candidate for
constable in Belfast The Republicans
lost two of their Belfast wards, but
had everything their own way in Brew
er, where no Democratic nominations
were made. In Bangor they carried
-four of the seven wards, although they
were unable TO defeat Mayor Mullen.
Mullen's plurality was larger than that
OF last year. while Mayor Hanson of
Belfast also won by a wider margin.
Marcille's plurality in BiddefOrd was
smaller than last years.

was chosen as tate senator from York

New Orleans, La, March I3.-The first
preliminary step in the national polti-
cal campaign in Louisiana was taken
yesterday, when the Democratic state
central committee met to decide the mat
ter of the presidential primaries for the
selection OF delegates to the Baltimore

ing demand among the Democrats for a
presidential preference primary and the
adoption Of the system is regarded az

ALASKANS FOR TAFT.
Ono Hundred Delegates to Territorial
Convention.

Washington, d. G., March Is, The
White House received a telegram from
Fairbanks, Alaska, stating that fifty
Taft delegates have been elected from
that city to the Republican territorial
convention to be held on March 80 at
Cordoya to elect two delegates to the
Chicago convention. Fifty more Taft
delegates have already been elected from
Nome.
This gives the Taft forces total
of one hundred of the two hundred
members of the territorial convention
The indications are that the Taft peo-
pie will control the convention and will
elect two delegates instructed to vote
for the denomination of the president.
