When tlio InliabitantH of tlio Dan

the West Indies.
Nit Accounting for Tit Men.
Years ago a young man bearing
tlio name of John Smith had it
changed to Ojgadig (iigadab, which
name ho selected because it was as
unlike John Smith aB ho could pos
Bibly got it. And now un English
man, one Pamlico Pickles, has had his
nanio changed to John Smith. There
U no accounting for tastcH.
Anil 8UII Denmark llcnltntcft.
Tho bed of tho boh has sunk 2,000
feet in tlio neighborhood of tho West
Indian islands, where tho volcanoes
are now busy and tho uren of dis
turbance nppeara to bo spreading;
and still Denmark hesitates to com
plete tho negotiations for tho sale
of her property. Anyone sensible
would order all trades closed out at
once. '
Fancy I'rolttN of SyntUc'iitlng;.
It is believed that nothing is easier
than syndicating and nothing pays
better. For financing tho stool trust
tho profits were $50,000,000; for com
bining the steamr.hip lines they were
$12,500,000; for converting tho steel
trust's $200,000,000 into bonds and
raising $50,000,000 in cash for tho cor
poration they were $10,000,000. The
profits to Morgan and his associates
from tho Northern Securities merger
are yet to bo hoard from.
Schwab Paid tho Howard.
Charles M. Schwab, president of
tho United States Steel corporation,
has given Alfred llobson, a laborot
in the steel works at Mingo Junction,
O., $200. Last year Schwab saw Hob
on under tho influence of liquor.
He had ITobson promlso ho would
not drink Intoxicating liquor for one
year. If ho kept his promlso he
would bo rewarded with $100. Hob
Bon earned tho reward and was given
double tho amount promised.

Htnrted in, one at tho main entrance,
the other through Thistle mine,
which adjoins and in which no men

reports from Goliad state that 98
persons were killed and 103 injured
by tho tornado which passed over

$200,000. Tho storm swept the city
from end to end and demolished 150
stores and residences. Houses col
lapsed as if built of cardboard, cover
ing the dead and injured with debris,
which necessarily made the work
of rescue blow. People flocked to the
town from all of tho surrounding
country.' Many of them had relatives
in tlio city. Tho work of rescue was
carried on all yesterday and the fu
nerals of several of the victims took
place in tho afternoon. The supply

WORK 0E CONGRESS.
'An extended speech by Sonator Me
Laurln (Miss.) in opposition to tho pend
ing Philippine government bill was a fea
ture of tho session of tho senate on tho
15th. Tho Mississippi senator vigorously
assailed tho administration's policy In
tho Philippines. Tho bill providing for
tho erection of a union rallwny station
In Washington, tho fortifications appro
priation bill and a bill to establish an
Indian ngrlculturo school at Wahpeton,
N. D., wcro passed. ...Tho house was
plunged Into a new tiring debate on
Philippine nffalrs and tho reports of
cruelty and otitrago wcro rehearsed with
vehemenco and bitterness. Tho naval
bill was tho order of the day, but It re
ceived only scant attention, after tho
allegations of Phlllpplno outrages wcro
was passed.
An effort was made by Senator Lodgo
(Mass.) In the sennto on tho ICth to In
duce the minority to fix a tlmo when a
vote might bo taken on tho Phlllpplno
government bill, but Senator Dubois
(Ida.), Bpcaklng for tho democratic side,
did not desire to specify a date for tho
vote. Senator McLaurln (Miss.) con
cluded his speech In opposition to tho
present Phlllpplno policy of tho govern
ment, which lie maintained wns responsi
ble for all tho ills that had como to the
United States In those Islands. Senator
Deboo (Ky.) supported the pending meas
ure in a carefully prepared speech. Many
minor bills wcro passed, Including 93 pri
vate pension bills. Tho sonato then ad
journed until the 10th. ...Tho Iioubo had
a lively debato on Phlllpplno atrocities
and tho Schley case, tho naval appropri
ation bill receiving llttlo attention after
tho moro exciting themes came up. Mr.
Cannon (111.) nnd Mr. Hepburn (la.)
brought on tho discussion by criticising
tho extent to which naval officers se
cured comfortable berths ashore, where
upon Mr. Williams (Miss.) made a very
sarcastic speech at tho expenso of Ad
miral Crownlnshlold, during which ho
read a poem describing tlfo lato head of
tho bureau of navigation as "the great
est tar that ever stayed ashore." Mr.
Williams denied thu nssertloa of Mr.
Grow (ra.) that Philippine war methods
wero similar to thoso of the civil war.
Mr. Cochran ((Mo.) reinforced Mr. Wll
llnms In this contention, whllo Mr.
Landls (Ind.) discussed the resolutions
adopted by union veterans of Indiana,
comparing "the copperheads of tho pres
ent day," who criticised the army In the
Philippines, with tho copperheads of 'Cl
C3. Tho senate was not in session on tho
17th. ...Tho house spent the day In dis
cussing tho naval appropriation bill, and
tho most Important feature of the dis
cussion Involved a rovlval of tho Sampson-Schley
controversy. This nroso over
an amendment to tho bill, which was
presented by Mr. Mudd (Md.) nnd was
adopted, prohlbltlg the uso of Maclay's
history of tho navy a text-book at tho
naval academy. A number of minor
amendments to tho bill wero adopted, but
tho consideration of the measure was
not completed before tho houso ad
journed. Only a brief tlmo was devoted by tho
Benato on tho 19th to consideration of tho
Philippine government bill. Senator Dol
llver (la.) supported tho bill, which ho
said was ono of tho most important
pieces of constructive legislation since
tho civil war. He paid a beautiful tribute
to the lato President McKlnley and his
policy In tho Philippines, saying that in
McICInley's policy thcro was not a note
of greed or covetousness. The conferenco
report on tho omnibus claims bill was
then passed. As passed by tho houso
tho bill aggregated $213,103. Tho net in
crease mado by tho sonato was $2,929,
252. Tho conferenco report shows that
tho houso hnd agreed to $1,-105,293 of tho
amount added by tho senate, so that tho
amount carried by tho mcasuro ngreed
to Is $1,G1S,49S. The report was agreed
to.... Tho houso passed tho naval appro
priation blll. An amendment offered by
Mr. Roberts (Mass.), providing thnt three
of tho ships provided for in the bill shall
bo built In government yards, was agreed
to. Under a suspension of tho rules tho
bill for eight hours work on nil govern
ment contrncts wns passed, also a bill
authorizing tho construction of a national
sanitarium for disabled soldiers at Hot

WHAT RUSSELL SAGE SAYS.
To put a premium on brains and
honesty is the only way to level tilings
up.
There may come a time when the
state will put a limit upon a man's for
tune. Any restriction of the rights of cap
ital would work incalculable injury to
the workingman.
Persons who are unable to acquire
money are necessarily not capable of
its proper use or care.
The people know that up to the pres
ent time the great capitalists have
been only captains of industry.
So long ns some men have more sense
and morebelf-control than others, just
so long will such men be wealthy.
It is observable that the very rich'
men of to-day are far more democratic!
than ever before in the history of the)
world. ' "
Intelligence, industry, honesty and
thrift produce wealth, and those who
possess such qualities are best fitted
for its custody.
It is just as wicked to intrust some
men with large amounts of money as
it. would be to put an idiot in charge of
an express train.
HELD ON TO A CHAIR.
Talmcr, Mo., May 19th. Mrs. Lucy
Compton has for the past eight or ten,
years suffered n jreut deal of pain
and sickness. Sho had Kidney Trou
ble, with an awful pain in her back,
which was so bad at many times that
she could scarcely get about at all.
"I have been down with my back
for the past eight 01; ten years," sho
bays, "and sometimes so bad that I
could not get around only by holding
on to a chair or some other object.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills have given mo
moro relief than anything I have ever
used.
"After I had used the first box I
was almost entirely cured of this

"I can truthfully recommend DocJ '?s

Mrs. Compton's cure was certainly
