The president lias formally declared the restora tion of peace in thu Philippine archi pelago and lias placed thu islands un der complete civil control and has extended general amnesty to the Fil ipinos who havo been in rebellion. These three tilings, marking one of the most Important chapters in Phil ippine history, were accomplished through the issuu of three separate orders and proclamations, ono by the president over his own signature, extending amnesty; ono through Sec retary Hoot by the president's or der, relieving Gen. Chnfieo from his duties as military governor, and a third which takes the shape of a gen eral order, addressed to the entire army of the United States, in which Secretary Hoot takes occasion to ex press thu president's high apprecia tion of the work It lias accomplished, both in Cuba and in the Philippines. The address to the army says: The president on this anniversary of national Independences wishes to exprcBS to tlio olncera and enlisted men of tho United States army his deep appreciation of tho service they have tendered to tho country In tho reat and dllllcult un dertakings which tlioy have brought to a successful conclusion during tho pnst mnv Tin tlifinlra tl, nfllm.ra nrwl thn nn- IlBtcd men who havo been maintaining order and currying on tho military gov- eminent In Cuba bccaiiBo they havo faith- fully given effect to tho humans pur- ET with UlctoeSnesPs&pedTt.7a Cuban peoplo to take all tho succcsslvo I otepa necessary to tho establishment of their own constitutional government During tho tlmo required for that process they lmvo governed Cuba wisely, re garding Justice nnd respecting individual !SHrtto ban peoplo tho revonues, amounting to ovcr JCO.000,000; liavo carried out practical bo rnpld und satisfactory that tho and thorough sanitary measures, greatly nuove decision was renehed yester Improvlng tho health and lowering tho.,,,,,, ,. ,,.. i,i, J,, i. death rato of tho Island.

Tho task was peculiarly dllllcult and trying. They were required at flrst to ovorcomo organized resistance of superior numbers, well equipped with modern urina of precision, Intrenched In an unknown country of mountnln de nies, lungles and swamps, apparently cnpnblo of Interminable! defense. When thlH reslstanco hnd been overcome they wero required to crush out a general system of guerrilla warfare conducted among a peoplo speaking unknown tongues, from whom It wns almost Impost slblo to obtain tho Information neces sary for successful pursuit or to guard against surprise nnd ambushes. Hound themselves by the laws of wnr, our soldiers wero called upon to meet every dovlco of unscrupulous treachery and to contemplnto without reprisal the lnlllctlon of barbarous cruelties upon their comrndes nnd friendly natives. They wero Instructed, whllo punishing armed reslstanco, to conclllato tho friend ship of tho peaceful, yet hnd to do with a population among whom It was Im possible to distinguish friend front foe, and who in countless Instances used n false nppenronco of friendship for am bush and assassination. , Undor all theso' adverse circumstances tho army of tho Philippines hns accom plished Its tnsk rapidly nnd completely. In more than 2,000 combats, great and small, within tlireo years. It hns exhibited unvarying courngo and resolution. Util izing tho lessons of tho Indian wnrs It bos relentlessly followed tho guerrilla bands to their fastnesses In mountain nnd Junglo and crushed them. It hns put nn end to tho vast system of Intimi dation nnd secret assassination by which tho peaceful natives wero prevented from taking a genulno pnrt In government un der American authority. It has cap tured or forced to surrender substantially all tho leaders of thn Insurrection. It has added honor to the (lag which It de fended and hns justified Increased confi dence lit tho futuro of tlio American peo plo, whoso soldiers do not shrink from labor or 'atli, yet love liberty and peaco. Tho president feels that ho expresses tho sentiments of all tho loyal peoplo of tho United States In doing honor to tho wholn army which hns Joined In tho per formance nnd shnres In the credit of thao honorable services.

Tho entrance of the Rockefel ler millions is said to be due partly to inability on the part of the active promoters to swing so gigantic n financial proposition without power ful support from outside sources, nnd partly to the fact that Rockefel ler was already heavily interested in the Swift packing plants a'nd other Swift interests.

Thinking to hnve a joku on the par son, he put the poker chip in tho plate. " T fooled thu preacher this morn ing,' he remarked to his wife when they reached home. "The next morning the preacher came around to see the hotelkeeper. 'Brother Smith,' ho said, T noticed you put this chip in the contribution plate yesterday. Does tho figure stand for five cents or $5?' " 'Five dollars, of course,' answered tho hotelkeeper. " 'Thank you, Brother Smith,' said the preacher, 'and will you redeem it this morning?' "There was nothing else for tho hotelkeeper to do t except to shell out his $5 into the'prencher's hand. And, when he told his wife that night what had happened, it did not seem funny at all."

Her mother noticed she seemed to be very clumsy and complnincd when she was rocked. Her limbs and face were bloated badly. A doctor was summoned but she got no better. He said she had Kid ney Trouble in thu worst form. Two other doctors were called in nnd they ngrecd that there was very little, if any, hope. She was bloated all over, her eyes being completely closed and her abdomen bloated un til it wns purple. They bought six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and she commenced to improve at once. She had used nine boxes before the Dropsy was nil gone. The treatment w.-is continued nnd now she is as well as ever.
