He | said there was a motive behind it all | and that certain members, chafing un- | der the recent report of the Postoffice Department, are seeking to punish‘[ Bristow for discovering frauds in an- | other bureau of the department. | An amendment by Mr. Tawney of | Minnesota, which was agreed to, pro- hibits the Postmaster General from or- | dering out of postoffices telephone com- | panies other than the Bell Telephone | | Company. | Charles B. Landis of Indiana called attention to what he said was the ri- ! diculous practice of the department in | renting canceling machines, and of-| | fered an amendment for their purchase | outright. During the last year he said | the department spent $176,000 for this | | purpose. He spoke of a machine which | he said could be bought outright by | the Government for $325. In four years, he said, the rental of each ma- | chine in the service amounted to $1600. | Mr. Stafford of Wisconsin opposed | the amendment and said the committee | appointed to investigate the subject ! had recommended against purchasing | | machines, because they are soon worn | out. Mr. Overstreet also opposed the! | amendment, saying the ecost would be | enormously increased should the Gov- | ernment be unable to purchase the ma- | chines.

A former peddler, now a rich insur- ance man, stood in a sheltered corner during a big storm and watched the | umbrellas go to pieces as the wind hit | | them full force. “Probably all those | umbrellas are wrecks because of the | lack of a little oil,” he said. “That's a trick I learned as a peddler. An um- | brella is primarily a thing of joint {and to keep it in good condition tI | jJoints should be oiled. nearly all umbrellas break in the joints | first, and why shouldn’t they? The | Joints are never olled, and yet are ex- | pected to respond easily to sudden | opening.

Thus | treated an umbrella framework will last indefinitely.”—Wilkesbarre Leader. ——————— Read Bible in Forty Hours. “A great many people are under the impression that it takes a long while to read the New Testament,” remarked a Kansas City preacher the other day, | didn’t believe me.

The Qfeen of England has had an experience with the foreign custom- houses for the first time in her life, and it is said that she did not enjoy it. It was while she was returning to Eng- land from Denmark, and her thirty trunks were thought to belong to some one else in Belgium and thoroughly searched. This, of course, was a grave breach of etiquette, and some one must have suffered besides the Queen.—New York Tribune. —_— e ———— A Modest Petition. Little Johnnie had been taught to ask a blessing at the table. One morning there was company present to break- fast, and Johnnie, being a little embar- rassed, made the following brief. peti- iy I found that INDIAN BILL 1S DISCUSSED :Senators Enter Into Lively Debate on Excluding Civil Service From the Agencies e PROVISIONS' CRITICIZED | Dispute Arises Over Clause Allowing School Superin- tendents to Act as Agents | WASHINGTON, March 22.—The Sen- | ate spent the greater part of the day ‘tuok exception to the provision ex- iemptlng candidates for the posg,ion of | Indian agency farmers from civil ser- vice examination, and on his sugges- tion the amendment was passed over without ‘action. » 4 Later in the day Senator-elect Dick of Ohio appeared in the Senate cham- ber. He went direct to’ Senator Fora- ker's seat and was cordially greeted, but their conference was cuf§ short by the announcement of an executive ses- sion, from which Dick, not yet having bad the oath of office, was excluded under the rules of the Senate. The first | discussion was in connection with the bill over the House provision permit- ting superintendents of Indian schools to act as Indian agents. Spooner called attention to the fact that school superintendents are appointed as the result of civil service whereas Indian agents are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. He sald that to adopt the resoluticn would be for the Senate to abandon its functions. The resolution was defended by Stewart, Dubois and Platt of Connecticut, as calculated to promote the service in the conduct of | business at the agencies. The provision was amended by strik- ing out the word ‘‘hereafter,” which kas the effect of confining the opera- tion of the clause to the next fiscal year. Lodge made a point of order.against the amendment relieving the agency farmers from eivil service examination. Messrs. Stewart, McCumber, Teller and Platt of Connecticut contended that the provision is necessaiy in order to procure efficient service, and said that a collegiate education is not neces- sary to efliciency in teaching agricul- ture to the Indians. Gorman criticized the provision as showing a tendency to get away from the requirements of the: civil service Taw. . He referred to reported utter- dncés by Admiral Walker in favor of the suspension of the law in its appli- cation to the isthmian canal commis- sion. Spooner supported the amendment, saying that to require farmers and stockmen of the aliens to pass civil service is “absolute nonsense” and away beyond the intention of the orig- inal civil service reformers. Gorman said he agreeddjargely ‘with Spooner's view, but Congress did"'not act by piecemeal in modifying the civil ser- vice laws. At Lodge's request the amendment, together with that of a similar na- ture relating to the employment of matrons at Indian agencies, was passed over. The committee amendments author- izing the Commission on Indian:Af- fairs to exercise supervision of the renting of homesteads and surplus lJands by the Creek, Choctaw, Chicka- saw and Cherokee Indians in Indian Territory, requiring the recording of all leases of land by the five civilized tribes, and authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to dispossess lessees claiming leases obtained by fraud or by inadequate consideration, were stricken from the bill on points of order. Without completing the reading of the bill the Senate at 5 p. m. went into executive session and at 5:15 ad- journed. —_——————— OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST | Washington Departments Make Post- office Changes and Issue Army Orders.

Among the first of these uumptusry’ laws was one made in Rome in 215 B. C., and called the “Oppian law.” Tt declared that no woman should possess more than half an ounce of gold, wear a dress of different colors, or ride in a vehicle in the city, or within a mile of it except on occasions of public re- ligious ceremonies. The law lasted only twenty years. K Italy and France are the countries where most of these laws have been passed, and some of them read very strangely. Tn 1230, in Italy, no woman was allowed to wear a dress with fig- ures on it; she could only have them embroidered. And in 1348 in the same | country neither dark green nor black | dresses were allowed to be worn in the morning.—St. Nicholas. Too Much to Expect. Uncle 'Bijah was a great sufferer from rheumatism. “Why don’t you do something for it, uncle?” asked one of his white neighbors. “Dat’s what I'se doin’, boss, Tak- in’ it right along.” “Is it helping you any?” “Not yit, but it will. De man I git it fum say it boun’ to knock it out.” “How long have you been taking the medicine?” “*Bout fo' yeahs.” “Four years? And it hasn't cured you?”—Chicago Tribune. —————————— JOHANNESBURG, March 22.—Up to date Dlagte is orty-two— persons.

They are as follows: I have appointed you as the commission which is-to undertake the most important and also the most formidable engineering feat that has hitherto teen attempted. You are to do the work, the doing of which, if well done, will reflect high honor upon this natfon, and when done will be of incalculable benefit, not | only to this nation, but to ecivilized mankind. As you yourseives must individually know, I have chosen you with reference to nothing save my belief, after full and patient inquiry, that you are among all the available men of whom I have knowledge those best fitted to bring this great task to a successful conclusion. You have been chosen because of your personal and professional reputations for integrity and ability. You represent the whole country. You represent neither section nor party. I have not sought to find out the politics of a single one of you, and, indeed, as to the ma- Jority of you I not the slightest idea what your political affiliations are. I belleve that each ome of you will serve not merely with entire fidelity, but with the utmost efficlency. If at any time I feel that any one of you is not rendering the best s vice whicn it is possible to procure, I shall feel called upon to disregard alike my feelings for the man and the man's own feelings and |, forthwith to substitute for him on the commis- sion scme other man whom I deem capable of rendering better service. Moreover, 1 shall expect, if at any time any one of you feels that thé work is too exhausting and engrossing for him to do in the best possible manner, that he will of his own accord so inform me, in order that I may replace him by some man who to,the requisite ability joins the will and the stréngth to give all the effort needed. Hut 80 long as you render efficlent service of the highest type in the work you are appointed to perform you may rest assured of my hearty support and backing in every way. WANTS BUSINESS METHODS, These are the conditions under which you have been appointed and under which I shall expect you to proceed. 1 shall furthermore | expect you to apply precisely the same prin- | in the cholce and retention of the sub- ates who do the work under you as I have applied In your cholce, and shall apply ' our retentlon. 1 shall expect you to point no man for reasons other than belicf in the aid he can render you in dig: the canal. If, having appointed any you find that your expectations about him ar: not fulfilled or that from any reason he falls short of his duty, I shali exvect you to dis- miss him out of hand; I shall expect that under such clrcumstances you will pay not the slightest heed to any backing or influcn:e the man may have. 1 assume as a matter of course that in dealing with contractors you will act on precisely the principles which would apply in any great private business undertaking. There is no man among you to whem T think ft s necessary to say a wo a3 to the standard of honesty to be exacted frem every employe or contractor; for if I| had the slightest grouna for suspicion taat there were need to say such a word to any of you I should not have appointed him. But DR. SHOOP’S REMEDIES. WHAT TEA DOES TO RHEUMATICS. When you next take tea, think of this Tea contains 175 grains of Uric Acid fn every pound. Meat contains only five grains. Rheumatism is Uric Acid in the blood. Ure Acid accumulates from food when the digestive apparatus not creats enough Alkaline elements (like soda) to neutralize it. This Acfd- collects urea. or waste matter, from the system That Urea enters the blood when Alka- line action has not previously dis- solved it. By and by the waste matter reaches the joints and muscles, through circula- tion of the blood. There it gradually deposits in solid particles, like granulated sugar. These solid particles grind between the joints and muscles at every move ment. to seven worn-out and s grinding eauses irritation pain. These in turn may develop inflamma- tion and swelling. That inflammation bestirs Nature to help herself. She proceeds to coat the hard Uric par- ticles over with cushions of pulpy mu- cous, like the first healing strata of an outer sore. This pulpy covering grows to the bones, as well as to the particles deposit- ed. There it hardens like plaster of sealing wax. Then we have “bony oints,” almost inflexible, and usually xed in a bended position, from the pain and inflammation. That is Rheumatism at its worst. P It is bad enough before it gets that ar. There is but one sure way of curing Rheumatism. The fArst step is to neutral- ize the Uric Acid already in the stem. Next, to dissolve. and carry a the hard deposits that grind between the oints. Then get the digestive apparatus nto such healthy condition that it will, unajded. produce less Urie Acid, and more Alkalines. This is what Doctors generally have failed to do. It s what I studied a lifetime to ac- eomplish, and achieved only after many failures and thousands of experiments. At last I found, in Germany. a Solvent whlch was not only effective, but abso- lutely safe to use. Few agents powerful enough to be ef- fective in Rheumatism are safe. My discovery, now called “Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cur acts directly, but in- ternally. .upon Uric Acid in the joints and muscles. It dissolves, and carries off, the pain- ful deposits, producing an immediate Al- kaline condition of the blood. and tralizing the Acid in it which would have fed the Rheumatism and extended the disease. It won't restore bony joints to flexibil fty, and it can't undo; in a week. t damage caused by years of rheumatic condftion. » But it will benefit every and it will entirely cure most cases Rheuma- tism. So sure am I of this, that T will supply Dr. Shoop's Rheumatie Cure. to any sick one who writes me for it. on a month's trial, at my risk. If it succee $5.50 for the s the cost to him is only bottle treatment If it fails, I bear the whole cost my- self. And—he alone shall be the judge— shall decide who shall pay. Surely you will not cont h on Rheumatism, telling of its relief and cure. It is free to Rheumatic peopla. Write me a_post card for it Address Dr. Shoop, box 3630, I do wish to emphasjze the need of unceasing | Wis. vigilance work. QUESTION OF SANITATION. As to the detalls of the work itself, I have but little to say. It is to be done as expe- ditiously as- possible. and as economically as is consistent with thoroughness, There is on matter to which I ask your special attention— the question of sanitation and hygleme. You will take measures to secure the best medical experts for this purpose whom you ecan ob- tain, and you will, of course, make the con- tractors submit as implicitly as your own employes to all the rules and regulations of you will find it best to have on: head for | this medical department, but that 1 shall leave to your own judgment. The plans are to be carefully made, with a view to the needs not only of the moment but of the future. The expenditures are to be supervised as rigorously as if they were being | made for a private corporation dependent fo its profits upon the returns.
