There was a largely attended meeting of the, Honse In surance Committee to-night to hear argu ments of representatives of the fraternal so cieties of the State upon the various bills aimed at the frandulent bond and invest ment and so-called beneficial societiesv J. C. Smith, of Philadelphia, Supreme Guar dian of the Order of Fraternal Guardians, opposed the bills, and said tbe line could not be drawn between fraternal societies and beneficial societies. All that was needed was a law to punish frauds when committed. These laws would exclude from operation the Fraternal Guardians and all endowment orders. . US. A. Will and S. A. Duncan, represent ing tbe Heptasophs, favored the bills. Mr. Duncan said the line should be drawn, and that tbe established benencial societies de manded it. Mr. N ill held that if these endow ment concerns were to go on as at present, tbe regular societies wanted them classed by them selves, and not confounded with legitimate beneficial organizations. J. L. Butler, of Hat risliurg, opposed the bills, saying they would exclude ail Catholic societies from operating within the State. Upon this there came near being a religions argument, others present holding that the members of the Roman Catholic Cburch could and did belong to the United Workmen and similar societies. Mr. Butler said they were not Catholics in good standing. Upon this he referred Mr. Leeds to Archbishop Ryan. Sir. Leeds smilingly said the Archbishop was a con stituent'of his. George Maloney, of Franklin, and M. V. Sackett, of Meadville, representing the Ancient Order ot United Workmen, asked that tbe bills be amended so as to define the distinctive features of a beneficial society. These were the lodge system, representative government, ritualistic wort, fraternal assist ance to tbe living in sickness and destitution, payment of benefits for disability.and payment of benefits to the family or representative at death- The committee reported affirmatively tbe bills introduced by Messrs. Cotton and Croth ers. The latter was prepared by tbe Insurance Department to cover the objections made to the Cotton bill, which is the same as the bill introduced In the Senate by Porter.

The Alderman bash i n laid up with a complication of dis eases rvr since the trial, and it has been im possible to carry the sentence into effect. Mayor Gourley was asked j esterday to write a letter to tbe Pardon Board, asking for clem ency for Doughty. "I don't think it Is just right to use my official nosition for the purpose of securing pardou for criminals, and undoing the work done by the policu and tbe courts," said the Mayor. "Every day 1 am aked to sign peti tions or write letters to the Pardon Board, and it seems to me as if every convicted criminal in Allegheny county is uying to evade the penalty of his crime. I am nut familiar enough with this case to class it among the geneial number, but I have been deeened a number of times. I have had people in whom I had con fidence assure me that a man was a legitimate object of clemency, and a few Uajs later have been confronted with positive evidence tbat that the man had not received a sentence com mensurate with his guilt. This thing of par dons is greatly overdone, anyway."' THE COUNTY SUED For 81,470 by the Iteceivor of the Alle glicay Valley Bailroud. W. H.

The following telegram was received by the sporting editor of this paper yesterday re garding tbe matter: "What is tbe lowest weight at which Pat Farrell can enter ring with Jim Hall, of Aus tralia? L. R. FDLTJA, President California Athletic Club." The telegram was shown to Farrell's backers, and while they wonld have been better pleased had it referred to Ed Smith, they stated that Farrell, lose or win against McAuliffe. wonld be willing to enter the ring against Hall at 1S6 pound", jn May. Accordingly tho following dispatch was sent to President Fulda: ' Farrell's lowest weight to fight Hall is 1E6 pounds." From tbe above it would seem that the pali- lornia sports are anxious to arrange a name between Half and Fan-ell, and it may be'tbat within a few days tho club in question will offer a good sized purso for the two pugilists." It is in soma respects unfortunate that these efforts or offers on tbe part of tbe California uiud were not made ueiore farrell engagea to meet McAuliffe. Farrell's backers now, (with considerable reason, claim that Hall should be willing to meet Ed bnitth at middle-wcjghr. assmuu nas no real engagement on nana, But it Farrell's weight is satisfactory his back ers will be ready to put him against Halt It may be that.

Rain or Possibly Snow and Clearing Weather Promised for To-Day. The storm that was in Western Texas on Wednesday night passed over tbe Gulf States to tho Atlantic coast, and was central last night on the Virginia coast. Heavy rain, averaging two inches, fell in all the Gnlf and Sontb Atlantic States except Florida. The trough ot low pressure united with tbe storm center north of the lower lakes in Canada and the ram belt covered the Ohio and Tennessee valleys and all the States on the Atlantic coast. The southern storm was acquiring power as it moved north east. High winds were blowing on shore all along the coast and were dangerous, on account of the dense fog which became light on tbe Middle Atlantic coast at night. Rain, possibly turning into snow, is promised for this morn ing; with clearing and colder weather in the afternoon. DOWN ON THE WHARF. A Else ot Six Feet Expected to Result From the Present Rain.

There are thousands and thousands of modern instances in which Swift's Specific, HynVigr-al has justified all the claims made for it as the IRt&VlkvafH greatest of vegetable remedies for diseases that l"n fm M have in their origin impure blood and a debilitated condition of the system. Mr. John H. Lyles, of Sorento, 111., writes: "I suffered for five years with mercurial rheu matism, which was the result of potash and mercurial treatment by physicians for constitutional blood poison. They not only failed to cure me, but made me a physical wreck and my life a burden. I then commenced taking Swift's Specific, klgjjl and after using a few bottles was entirely cured of the doctors brought on by their remedies, and of the blood poison which they had failed to cure."

STRUGGLE -WITH DIRT Goes on in civilized society from the cradle to the grave. Dirt is degra dation and degradation is destruction. Women, especially, are judged by their habits of household cleanliness, and no stronger condemnation can be expressed than "she ieeps a dirty house and a filthy Mtchen." But the struggle with dirt is often unequal. The -woman's weakness or tho worthlessness of the soaps she uses make it impossible to overcome the demon of dirt. By the use of SAPOLTO she wins easily.
