Springfield, May S.-Half dozen

than enough members present In the
House to give the appropriation bill
two-thlrds vote, there came con-

passed tie bill carrying an appro-
priation to meet the mileage and
postage allowance of members for
the third special session.
In consequence, the appropriation
bills fell half dozen votes short OF
the necessary 102 votes. The ap-
propriation for repairing the state

man Shanahan of the appropriations
committee told the reason why the
bills were not receiving the neces-
sary votes, saying he thought II was
only fair to make the statement for
the information of other members Of
the House.
in calling the third special ses-
sion, Gov. Deneen and some OF the
Senate leaders agreed that 1t would
be unnecessary to pay the members
additional mileage and postage un-
der the peculiar circumstances of
the two sessions In conjunction. A
half dozen House MEMBERS view the

Some days ago Senator Hurburgh
refused to introduce bill carrying
the usual $4,000 for mileage and
postage and 1t was put in by Sena-
tor Clark, but no effort has been
made to send 1t forward. After the
House tied up the business of the
Senate, today, the Senate brought
forth the Clark bill and advanced 1t
to third reading. When the SEN
ate passes this appropriation the
work of the General Assembly prob
ably will proceed.
The delay has destroyed all chance
to pass the appropriation bills this

DEAFNESS CANNOT RE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inf1amed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When this
tube is inf1amed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
is entirely closed, deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces. We will give
one hundred dollars for any case of
deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

SUBLIME COURAGE
Of CATHOLIC SISTERS
Save Their Helpless Charges from
Fiery Death

San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 31.-Six
Sisters of Charity and one child are
dead and two children are missing as
the result of a fire at the Santa Rosa
hospital yesterday morning. The Santa
Rosa is one of the largest hospitals in
San Antonio.
The Sisters Of Charity gave up their
lives in their efforts to save nearly
100 small orphan children. But three
of the nine sisters in the building es-
capped death.
Two women employed as servants
were badly injured.
The dead sisters are:
Mother Mary of the Cross, who was
mother superior of the asylum. Her
name was Mary Rossiter, native of
Wexford, Ireland.
Mother Francis Pasteur, native of
France.
Sister Peter Claver Stevin, teacher
in San Antonio school, native of Dub
lin, Ireland.
Sister Leacadia Nolan, teacher in
San Fernando school, native of Dub
lin, Ireland.
Sister Kostka Farrell, native of
Kaldar, Ireland.
Sister Monica Montez, native of
Mexico.
The one orphan child known to
have perished, and whose body was
recovered, was Charles Mathlow, aged
three years.
The origin of the fire is not yet
known. Eighty-seven orphan children
ranging in age from two to twelve
years, and nine nuns were in the
building, where the fire started. The
Sisters of Charity nobly sacrificed
their own lives for the helpless little
orphans. remaining in the structure
until the building itself began to
crumble and fall.
The death of the mother superior,
Mary of the Cross, was a demonstra-
tion unparalleled for courage. She re-
turned to the dormitory when she
heard the cry of a little child forgot
ten in the hurry and excitement.
few moments later she appeared at
the window on the front of the build
ing with the child in her arms.
Fire Chief Wright attempted to
save her, but failed. A ladder was
placed against the wall and the hre
chief scaled it, but before he reach ed
her the mother superior and the child
disappeared The flooring had been
burned away and she had fallen thru
to the floor below, where her lifeless
body was recovered later.

Woodrow Wilson Gives Taft and the
Country at Large a Needed Lesson
ON the Tariff

Newark, y. J., Oct. 31-Gov. Wood

with satirical attacks on his opponents

night that he is not a believer in free
trade and that the democratic party
does not intend to disturb legitimate
business or the prosperity of the coun-
try. if put into power
The democratic presidential nomi-
nee declared those of his opponents
who constantly asked him to define his
position on the tariff could not read
the English language"
He said he had repeated time and
again in his speeches his policy of cut
ting out of the tariff merely the special
privileges lodged in it.
"No thoughtful democrat" he added
has advocated free trade
To President Taft's statements pub
lished yesterday with regard to the
panic of the early nineties, Gov. Wilson
made an extended reply, first at Mont
clair, where he addressed a big au-
dience, and again at Newark, where he
spoke last night. He said it was wrong
to attribute that panic to the tariff
legislation because the panic started
before the tariff bill was enacted" He
attributed the panic to republican cur
rency legislation.

and when the president of the
United States makes himself RESPONSE
bic for the statement that the panic
of 1898 was due to a tariff bilr that
came a year afterward and came be-
cause of Mr. Cleveland's administra-
ton, 1 can only express my deep re-
gret that the president of the United
States has not read the history of the
United States.
ANY statement that Mr.. Taft makes
/ believe to be made in honesty, but
this statement, if he has made it, he
has made in ignorance; because the
panic of 1898 can be shown to have
arisen out of currency legislation of a
government absolutely controlled by
the republican party.
The panic of 1898 was on its way
before Mr.. Cleveland became presi-
dent and it matured merely in the first
OF his administration and would have
been stopped if the Senate of the
United States had yielded more prompt
ly to the advice of the administration.
