tho law," he said, "Is being violated by the
wholesale." Ho recalled the railroad wreck
In Michigan last week, In which a large
number of Emigrants were killed, and as
serted that these emigrants were no doubt

which stato they wcro enroute when their
lives were crushed out.
Speaking of the Chinese exclusion act Mr.
McSwcney said tho Japaneso should also
be 'excluded from tho United States, because
they arc mora undesirable than arc the

Immigration laws should bo revised and re
constructed from the beginning by experts.
All the pending legislation beforo congress

charging her with tho death of Mrs. Mary
Olbbs, a second with tho death of A. P.
Davis, both of Cataumct, and tho third
with that of Mrs. Genevieve Gordon of Chi
cago. All allege that tho caUso was the
administration of poisonous drugs, ten
grains of morphlno or atroplno or mor
phine an atropine together, or by some
poison unknown to tho Jury.
For ton minutes tho woman stood tightly
clutching tbo rail whllo tho clerk read the
Indictment charging her with the murder of
Mrs. Glbbs. At longth Miss Toppan' coun
sel spared hor further embarrassment by
waiving tho reading and all that remained
wus for her to plead. Threo times eho was
asked If she was guilty of tho murder and
three times she replied In low voice, "Not
guilty."
After, tho woman had entered bcr pica

presided, said ho would take tho matter
under advisement. Miss Toppan was then
led away to her cell, where nhe will re

A resolution of interest to horso raisers
was adopted. It calls for a less rigid In
spection of horsed Intended for tho govern
ment nnd suggests tho appointment of a
committee of four army men and eight
horse breeders to act as Judges at shows
where horses shall bo exhibited for army
service.
In speaking of tho resolution Mr. Patter
son declared that the unnecessary scvorlty
of government Inspectors In selecting
horses Is shown in the fact that England
has bought 13,000 horses and mules for use
In South Africa, whllo tbo United States,
having advertised for 33,000 animals, has
boon able to get only 3,000 head. Tha re
port of tho retiring oxecutlvo committee,
in which the work of tho ofllcers of tho as-
soclutlqn Is praised, nnd which calls for an
Increase in assessments of members of 23
cents for overy 1,000 head of live stock rep
resented, was adopted unanimously.
An Interesting feature of tho forenoon
session was the. impromptu. .speech of Sec
retary Maxwell ot tho Irrigation congress.
He said water was the very root of success
ful cattle raising' nnd told of ways ot get
ting water. Chairman Springer followed
with a description ot how ho secured an
abundance of water on a ranch, the previ
ous owners of which were reputed to havo
starved owing to their. Inability to got drink
for their cattle. A. H. Dawson said be was
from the bad lands ot South Dakota and
dwelt on the necessity ot not crowding too
much stock on the ranges.

HIGH ALTITUDES,
l'ooil Cannot he Ilolleil a CVnlckly n
In I,nv.
Tho curious experiences people havo with
coffee drinking nro worth pondering over If
anyono Is ailing and docs not know the
oxact reason thereof.
Coffee is a secratlvo worker, and through
tho nervous system affects different parts
of tho body In dlfferont people.
A young married woman, Mrs. T. 1
Bluckmon, Oswego, Montana, had a con
clusive experience in tho effects ot coffee
on her eyes. Sho says, "I havo used coffee
slnco a child, but a short tlmo ago my eyes'
began to grow weak, and the least exertion,
such as reading' or sewing would cause
shooting paltiM and wavy lines ot light so
that I could soe but little elso tor minutes
at a time.
"This alarmed mo and I earnestly sought
tho cause ot tho trouble. Someone told me
that coffeo nometlmeB affected tho oyos. I
at onco decided to quit It and seo It 1
would bo benefited, but I must have some
thing to take tho placo of coffee, for I
wanted to modify, as much as posilble, the
sacrlflco ot giving It up.
"So I decided to try Postum for mysolf.
When It came I made It strictly according
to directions nd was wonderfully sur
prised and pleased with It. Husband saya
that my Postum Is very different, Indeed,
from that bo onco drank at a friend's
table.
"I frankly own thnt I llko l'ostura better
thnn I ever liked coffee. It has a rich
body to It that coffee lacks. I boll It
longer than twenty minutes and It Improves
It. Perhaps tt requires longer boiling In
the high altitudes. I think it does.
"For three months now I have been using
Postum and have been wonderfully bene
fited, My eyr no longer pain me, nnd are
strong as they ever were. My complexion,
Itistead'of being sallow as formerly, U clear
and rosy, I know to n certainty that my
Improvement ba been caused by leaving
oft coffee and using Postum, for that Is
absolutely the only chango I hate made,
and I havo taken no medicine.
"A Mr. Randall, a friend ot ours, has
obtained relief from his stomach trouble
and headaches, by leaving off coffee and
taking Postum. Wo think we know some
thing ot the facts about coffee and about
POitUffi."

In Thl Selon.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. Tho senato com
mittco on foreign rotations today voted to
report favorably tho new Hny-Pauncofoto
treaty, .providing for tho construction of
an Isthmian canal.
The committee was In session nearly two
hours and went over In detail tho pro
visions of tho convention. No votes wero
cast against it, but It was criticised very
sharply by Senators Money and Dacon, who
found In It many ot tho objections which
they urged ngalnst tho old treaty. They
took especial exception to tho provision
continuing in forco the neutrality provision
of tho Clayton-Ilulwer treaty and nlso made
qbjectlon to the, clause specially authorizing
tho United States to police tho canal as
placing a limitation upon tbo power ot this
country to absolutely control it.
Object to .Neutrality ClniiNe,
Tho contention was mado that tho effect
of tho treaty as sent to the senate would
bo to dcprlvo tho United States of control
of tho canal in enso of war. Especial at
tention was called to tho provision In tho
preamble of the pending treaty, reserving
"Artlclo 1" of tho Clayton-Ilulwer treaty
from tho repeal provision of tho now treaty.
Tho portion of this article of the old treaty,
to which especial objection wns made, reads
as follows:
"In granting, however, tholr Joint protec
tion to any such canals or railways as aro
by this artlclo specified, It Is always under
stood by tho United States nnd Great
Urltnln that the parties constructing or
owning tho same shall Imposo no other
chnngfu or conditions ot traffic than the
aforesaid governments shall approvo ot as
Just and equitable, nnd that tho same canals
or railways, being open to tho citizens and
subjects ot tho United States nnd Great
tlrltnln on equal terms, shall nlso bo open
on like terms to tho citizens and subjects
of ovcry other stato which is willing to
grant thereto such protection ns tho United
States and Groat Rrltaln engage to afford."
Did .Not Vote Aicnlnnt Iteport.
Senators Money and Bacon did not go to
the extent of voting against tho report of
tho treaty and they acknowledge that they
aro anxious to seo it ratified, because of
their great dcslro to have the canal built.
Still, they Insisted that tho treaty as It
now stands Is very objectionable In case of
the contingency of war. Senator Fryo
presided over tho meeting and authorized
Senntor Lodge to report tho treaty to tho
senato on Monday noxt, In caso there
should be an executive session on that day.
It also was the senso of tho committee that
tho consideration of tho treaty should bo
pressed as speedily as posslblo In the scn
ate, some senators expressing tho hopo that
tho action might be secured beforo tho ad
journment bf tho holidays. Tho committee
also voted to recommend that the Injunc
tion ot secrecy-be removed from tho treaty.
Tho senate commltteo on tho Judiciary
today authorized a favorablo report upon

NEVER IN HISTRUE LIGHT
ltnlilil Simon Say the .letv linn lleen
I'erlteiitly mill Continually
.Ml represent oil.
"Lltornluro, by no means tho least of the
forces of civilization, has been very Unfair
to tho Jew," said Rabbi Abram Simon In n
lecturo at Tomplo Israel Inst night. "It
has wielded power against us as has no
other forco. It may bo true, na Emerson
says, that to bo great Is to bo misunder
stood, but whllo not affirming thnt tho
Jews wero necessarily groat, I do maintain
that thoso ot the mlddlo ages wore mis
understood. And history, ns the mirror of
the times, reflects thoso Impressions that
prevailed In thoso ages when nil the black
plagues wero laid nt the door of tho Jew.
'In plays and In novels tho Jew has fig
ured, but never In his true light. Shylock
Is no more tho typical Jew ns to avarlco
than Is Nathan tho typical Jew as to wis
dom, nnd Kangwlli In his Ghetto stories his
missel corroct portrayal of the modem Jew
as far as has Emily Wolf of San Francisco,
herself n Jewess.
"Hut in William Ludlow, himself a Chris
tian, I feel thnt thero has now arisen ono
who has given ua In 'Deborah,' in the
novol of that name, a Jewish heroine cor
rectly portrayed and one, tho first, of whom
wo may bo really proud. And In Judas, of
the earn a book, a hero whom wo may ap
provo with equal freedom."
Dr. Simon then outlined tho story of the
Jpwcss who loved and wns won by Dion,
lender of tho Greeks at thnt period, 165
D. C, when tho struggle was bitterest be
tween tho remnant of tho original .Jews
and thoso who had allied themselves with
tho Greeks nnd adopted tho customs and
drees of the latter. Judas, commander ot
tho Jews, loved Deborah, but gnvo her up
to Dion after tho latter had pledged loyalty
and submission to Judas, even though Judas
ns king could take Deborah for his royal
consort.
Dr. Simon then said:
"What Is tho moral? It Is that Jow and
Christian, still separated In hatred when
they should bo united Ip lovo enn only bo
reconcile! whop all Christians will bo llko
Dion, nil Jews llko Judas and all Jawrsaes
llko Deborah, each recognizing In thoso to
ward whom they havo so long cherished 111
fccllug tho virtues that each certainly possesses."
LIFE IN HAWAIIAN ISLES
Walter C. Wcedon Lecture nt the
Y. M. C. A. nn the .ew
1'osscnhIiiii.
Walter C. Wecdon of Honolulu lectured
to a largo crowd last night at the Young
Men's Christian Association auditorium on
"Hawaii, the Pnrudlso of tho Pacific." Mr.
Wcedon'a lecture was beautifully Illustrated
by atcrooptlcon views of points of Interest
In ibo Sandwich Islands.
By means of maps showing the location
of tho islands, as compared with all ports
of Importance in tho Pacific, Mr. Wecdon
showed thnt Honolulu is tho key to Oriental
trado and stated that the United States
could far bettor spare one ot Its states thau
glvo up tho llttlo Island of Hawaii. Ho
doclarcd ihat the Island possessions, of tho
United States have the finest cllmato lri
tho world nnd stated that In seven years'
resldenco In Honolulu ho had nevor known
tho thermometer to rise about 89 degrees
and had never known It to fall bolow 50
degrees.
"I have lived under seven different gov
ernments in Honolulu," said Mr. Weedon.
"I havo been intimately associated with
tho person h who havo ruled tho Island. In,
splto ot all that has-been said of Mr, Dole, I
dcslro to stato most emphatically that ho
has been the islands' greatest benefactor.
Ho Is a thorough American nnd a good
officer."
In discussing the politics of the Islands
Mr. Wcedon explained that thero uro threo
parties republican, democratic and home
rule. At tho recent election tho homo rule
party was In tho majority.
"In a year Honolulu has grown from a
city of 30,060 to n city of 45,000 people,"
said tho speaker. "The Incrcnso of popu
lation throughout the islands has been
nearly 42 per cent. No other city or ter
ritory con show such n tremendous growth.
And yet tho Islands havo only begun to
develop."

A SAD CHRISTMAS
HOW GLOOM DKOVK IMJACIi OUT
OV A HOUSEHOLD.
A .1llfortline Which Destroyed tho
llnpplne of line Knmlly In n
Time When nil Should Mate
lleen Cheerful,
Christmas doc.4 not bring happiness to
everybody. Pcnco does not always come
and even good will Is sometimes difficult
to entertain,
Robert Yntcs did not havo a merry
Christmas, nor did his family. Prospects
had been bright' enough the day befor,
and ho had left homo for tho days' work
with a feeling of content, looking' forward
Itr pleasure to tho gift-giving of the mor
row. Hut ns ho wns on his way back In the
evening, laden with hie share of tho
mysterious bundles that aro always cen on
Christmas Eve, ho became suddenly weak.
Florco pnlna shot through his head and
body nnd he became so dizzy that ho wns
hardly able to make his way home. Ho
was confined to tho bed nnd tho bnppluets
of thnt Christmas wau destroyed for him
Atid for his family.
He continues tho story as follows: "I
wns elck for threo months from (hat awful
Christmas Evo of ltOO. It was an attack
of tho grip nnd nbout ns scvero n ono ns
anybody over hod.
, "Did you over havo tho grip? Well, you
don't know what It Is, then. It racks your
mind and body. It's n combination or nil
the aches and pains known to medical
science. And that isn't tho worst ot It
when you're over the' grip you thavo Its
after-effects. I was restless and steeples,
with constant pain In my limbs, I toll
away In ilesh, lost my appetite, was tired
out for no reason, and became generally
miserable.
''Finally, when things wero looking
protty blue for me, oue tiny I noticed n
piece in tho paper nbout a man living .In
Kansas who had been cured of a rome
wjiut similar complaint of twolvo years'
standing, by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Palo People. So I decided to try
them. I felt better before I finished one
box. I kept on taking them and they
cured me. Now I am pnst sixty-three years
of .age, I enjoy perfect health nnd, thanks
to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I can do a
good dnj-B' work again. I nm as hale and
hearty ns many mon much younger than I,
have a splendid appettto and can go to
sleep a few minutes after retiring.
."A couplo years nfter tho Illness I re
ferred to I felt, the symptoms ngalu. I im
mediately bogon taking the pills nnd not
only was tho attnek not nearly o severe
but I quickly recovered nnd had none of
tho bad after-effects. I might also add thnt
before I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills I had suffered for about seventeen
years with rheumatism, but I hnvo not
folt nny of It since. They aro n wonderful
medicine nnd I Hnvo no doubt but wnnt
they saved my life."
Mr. Robert G. Yates lives at No. KB Clark
street, Dubuque, Iowa, and for the past
fifteen years has been in the employ of the
Klaucr Manufacturing Co., In the capacity
of tinner. Ho has worked on almost every
tyilldlng of consequence In that city and Is
Very well known ns a thoroughly honest
nnd reliable man. In order to leave no
room for doubt ho swore to his nbovo
statement before 11. M. Ham, a notary
public, on September 21, 1001.
Mony people suffor as Mr. Yates did and
thousands have taken the same remedy with
as goad results.
With each recurring epidemic of tho grip
it Js moro evident that the disease' loaves
in.lte wako a train qf stubborn ailments
thnt often balTto the skill of physicians.
Losb of flesh, thin blood, nervousness, short
ness uf . breath, exhaustion after slight ex
ertion so that It Is often difficult to "walk
upstairs these aro a fow of tho symptoms
of after-effects of the grip. Moro serious
results often follow and grip has como to
bo rogarded as tho highroad to pneumonia,
bronchtls and even consumption.
Dr. Williams'. Pink Pills for Pale Peoplo
aro recognized everywhere as the great spe
clflo for tho grip nnd its after-effects.
Taken lit tho tonlo doso (onu pill after
each meal), tho pills, working through tho
blood, Boon render tho system proof against
tho grip and many other diseases, which,
Induced by Inclement weather, fasten upon
thoso who nre not fortified against thorn.
If y.ou have already Buffered the ravages
of tho grip you should hasten to expel the
lingering germs from your system. .U.ntll
you do you will never know perfect health.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pnlo People
will not only effect n cure In coses, similar
to the one above, but, acting directly upon
tho blood and nerves, aro an unfailing spe
cific for such diseases as partial paralysis,
St. Vitus' dnhce, sciatica, neuralgia, nerv
ous headache, palpitation ot the heiirt, pale
nnd sallow complexions and all forms of
weakness, either in malo or female. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People aro
sold by all dealers, or will bo sent postpaid
on receipt of price, fifty cents a box or six
boxes for two dollars nnd fifty cents, by
addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Com
pany, Schnectndy, N. Y. Tboy oro never
