Vols., a rites from Lanham, Md., as follows: "Though somewhat averse to patent medicines, and still more averse to becoming a professional affidavit man, it neems only a plain duty in the present instance to add my experience to the columns already written concerning the curative powers of Peruns. I have been particularly benefited by its use for colds in the head and throat. I have been able to fully cure myself of a most severe attack in forty-eight hours by its use according to directions. I use it as a preventive whenever threatened with an attack. "Members of my family also use it for like ailments. We are recommend ing it to our friends.” Ask Your Druggist for Free Peruna The biggest gun in the world, and which, as might be expected, was in vented and built in Great Britain, has definitely been declared unsafe, and will gp to the scrap heap. As only one of these mammoths was built, and that as an experiment, the loss is com paratively small, even though it Is about SIOO,OOO. This gun was con structed to shoot a IG-inch projectile a distance of twenty-one miles, even though it would be impossible ever to hit a mark at such range. The big gun was found to be unsafe after a few firings, and really was as danger ous to our own folks as it was expect ed to be to an enemy. Twelve-inch guns are likely to be the limit for a long time, and certainly until some gun metal not now known is discovered.— Popular Mechanics. I Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mu cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is Inflamed you have a rumbling ■ound or Imperfect hearing, nnd when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condi tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca tarrh, which Is nothing but an Inflamed con dition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

WORK OF CONGRESS The Brownsville affair occupied most of the time in the Senate Monday, the principal discussion being on a resolution offered by Senator Lodge providing for an investigation and by silence conceding the authority of the President to take the action he did in dismissing colored soldiers. Senator Gearin made an address on the Japanese question, advocating a resolution directing negotiations for a revision of the treaty with Japan. The House passed a bill providing for a judicial review of orders excluding persons from the use of United States mail facilities. A day in February was set apart for eulogies on the life and public service of Rockwood Hoar, late member for the Third Massachusetts District. The Senate occupied itself Tuesday in discussing to a more limited extent the unusual Brownsville affray. Senator Daniel of Virginia made a speech in support of the President’s action. Senator Foraker said that other speeches were to be made and indicated that he would defer closing the argument he began until a later date. Senator Overman of North Carolina spoke in opposition to the proposed federal child labor laws, his opposition being based on the broad ground of State rights. The bill limiting the hours of service of railway employees, which is the “unfinished business,” was discussed for an hour. The House began consideration of the military appropriation bill. Chairman Hull began general debate by a comprehensive statement of the contents of the army budget, which carries $2,500,000 more than last year. Other speeches were by Mr. Slayden of Texas on his bill to discontinue the enlistment of negroes in the army; by Mr. Zenor of Indiana, against the ship subsidy bill, and by Mr. Gaines of Tennessee, who spoke in commemoration of the ninety-second anniversary of the battle of New Orleans. In the Senate Wednesday much time was devoted to the bill limiting the hours of railway employees. The Brownsville matter was postponed at the suggestion of Senator Foraker, who gave as the reason that Senator Tillman, who is indisposed, desired to make an address on the subject. The House began the consideration of the army appropriation bill by sections under the five-minute rule. A point of order was made against the paragraph abolishing the grade of lieutenant general, with the retirement of the present lieutenant general. Arthur McArthur, which point was sustained. By a vote of 27 to 50, the committee of the whole refused to strike out the appropriation of $1,000,000 to defray the expenses of national guard organizations attending encampments in conjunction with regular troops, although the maneuvers were severely criticized by Representatives Grosvenor of Ohio, Hepburn of Iowa, and Hay of Virginia. Mr. Smith of Iowa reported the fortifications appropriation bill. After five hours’ debate on the subject of limiting the hours of service of railway employees, the Senate on Thursday passed a substitute for the pending bill of Senator La Follette, limiting the time of train employees to sixteen consecutive hours of service, to be followed by ten hours of rest. Senator Tillman gave notice he would address the Senate Saturday on the Brownsville affray, and Senator Foraker announced he would endeavor to get a vote on the investigation resolution on that day. The House was the center of a threatened personal encounter between Representative Gaines of Tennessee and Representative Mahon of Pennsylvania, growing out of Mr. Gaines’ bill to “dock” members for chronic absence. The army appropriation bill was passed and consideration of the fortifications bill began. The Senate Friday passed a general service pension bill which will give survivors of the Civil and Mexican wars $12 per month at the age of 62, $15 at $70 and $20 at $75. Senator Hopkins of Illinois defended Reed Smoot, arguing against the right of the Senate to pass on the private acts of its members. The legislative appropriation bill was taken up and read, after which the Senate adjourned. The House made a new record by passing 628 private pension bills in an hour and thirty-five minutes. A bill was passed making the limit of cost of five lighthouse tenders $200,000 instead of $135,000, and at 1:45 p.m., in the absence of a quorum, the House adjourned until Monday. National Capital Notes. Birmingham, Ala., was selected as the location. For a new sub-treasury by a caucus of southern Senators and Representatives. Information has been received here of a prospective influx of over 2,000 Japanese into the United States from Mexico. Some of them have arrived and others are expected to arrive at Mazatlan. Representative Hay of Virginia introduced a resolution in the House seeking information concerning the death of Robert Vance Freeman, a former member of the “poison squad” of the Department of Agriculture. Chairman Hull of the House committee on military affairs, reported the military appropriation bill, carrying $73,000,000. The bill provides that the office of lieutenant general of the army shall cease to exist as soon as it becomes vacant. Cigar Stores Mean. Of every hundred men who profess an anxiety for the quality of their cigars, owing to the Cuban rebellion, scarcely one could, if put to it, interpret the meaning on the various words which are stamped on the lid and sides of a cigar box. These are not mere fancy names, but terms actually descriptive of the cigar. On the lid is the name of the cigar, a Pedro Murias, Villa Villa. The front of the box describes the shape and size, as Conchas, Reina, Regalias, which state the shape, and Perfeito Infantes, Princesses, which signify the size. These may be combined as Conchas Speciales, Conchas Finns, to state both shape and size. At the back of the box, where the lid turns over, is stamped the quality of the cigar—Superfina. Fine, Flor. Superior and Bueno, being the terms in the descending scale. The color of the cigar is declared on the right-hand side or end of the box. Claro signifies the tightest colored. Colorado Claro rather darker, Colorado dark, Colorado dark, Maduro very dark, Oscuro extremely dark, Negro darkest. —London Chronicle. Stealing a March. “Hang it all!” exclaimed Mr. Sububs, arriving home from the office, “we'll have to call on the Dubleys tonight.” “Why, George, you said you wanted to stay home with me in comfort tonight,” exclaimed his wife. “Yes, but Dubley told Balklotz he and his wife meant to call on us tonight. We can leave their house earlier than we could make them leave ours.”—Philadelphia Press. Trouble Ahead for Johnny. “George,” said Mrs. Ferguson anxiously as she straightened the bed clothes over her sleeping boy, “what makes Johnny’s fingers so yellow? Does jaundice ever attack anybody that way?” “No, Laura,” answered Mr. Ferguson. “It isn’t jaundice. It’s worse than that —but it will yield to proper treatment. I'll apply the treatment tomorrow morning.” The question of alien immigration is now far more serious to London. Truly Worth Out. Vitality Sapped by Years of Suffering With Kidney Trouble. Capt. J. W. Logan, formerly postmaster of Indianola, now living at Austin, Texas, writes: “I was afflicted for years with pains across the loins and in the hips and shoulders. I had headaches also and neuralgia.” My right eye, from pain, was of little use to me for years. The constant flow of urine kept my system depleted, causing nervous chills and night sweats. After trying seven different climates and using all kinds of medicine, I had the good fortune to hear of Doan’s Kidney Pills. This remedy has cured me. I am as well today as I was twenty years ago, and my eyesight is perfect. Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N.Y.

When a person gets up in the morning with a dull headache and a tired, stretchy feeling, it is an almost certain indication that the liver, or bowels, or both, are decidedly out of order. At such times Nature, the wisest and best of all doctors, takes this means to give warning that she needs the help and gentle assistance which can best be obtained from that old family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which has been in use for over a century. They are the same fine laxative tonic pill your grandparents used, when doctors were few and far between and when people had to have a supply of these pills. Remedy that could absolutely be depended upon. Brandreth's Pills can be depended upon and are sold in every drug and medicine store, either plain or sugar-coated. Water for Norseman's Horse. "You never see a broken-winded horse in Norway," said a horse doctor. “This is because the horses are al lowed to drink while they eat, the same as mankind. “Our horses, let them be as thirsty as get out, must still eat their dry fol der, their dry hay and oats and corn, with nothing to wash them down. But In Norway every horse has a bucket e,f water beside bis manger, and, as he eats, he drinks also. "It is interesting to see how the Nor wegian horses relish their water with their meals. Now they sip a little from the bucket, now they eat a mouth ful, then another sip, then another mouthful, just like rational human be ings.” My*.
