Mr. Cummlngs Rovlcws the Work of the House During Seventeen Days nnd Draws the Conclusion That It Wll Take a Hercules to Finish the Necessary Tasks Before March 4. Capsheap of Charles Francis Ad ams' Compliments to Two Friends. WnshlnBton, Jun. 4. Fifteen days ago conRrens nroae like a Hock of birds In a field of Brain, and wnftcd Its way homeward to enjoy thr- holidays. Sen ators and representatives scattered to all points of the compass In search of happiness. Some find It In homo com- s In the hnsoms of their families: riers Hock In small parties to Old ..'cilnt, Florida, or tho West Indies, where the hours may bo whllcd awav In card partlcsandslght-seeltiK. Others Ko to New York for rest and change of scene. A very few remain In Wnsh lni;ton, patching up with their work nnd clearing up the decks before -un-foldlnc their sails anew to the legis lative breeze, Thi holiday recess appears to be Minily established. To ascertain whether congress Is entitled to this indulgence, tho people ought to know how hard they have been worked. The session began on December 3 nnd the recess was taken on December 21. Two Sundays Intervened, leaving seventeen working days. The senate emphasized lis pilvllcged character by working sixteen of tho seventeen, and the house sustained Us reputation for Industry by laboilng more or less every dny. The senate was In session sixty-three hours In all, nnd tho house seventy one. The senate spent thirty-one and three-quarters of Its sixty-three hours over half the time In secret session. Notwithstanding this extraordinary legislative feat, however, tho two houses swelled the Congressional llec ord to tho extent of B30 pages. The senate Is credited with 139 of these nnd the house with 411. It was lively work. The figures are not only balmily In structive, but exceedingly Interesting to the delving economist. They show that If both houses had worked eight hours a day, tho time required for other government employes, tho Con giesslonal Record would have masti cated 1,100 pages Instead of 550; and If the senators had worked In tho onen, lather than In the woods, tho periodi cal might have taken up over 2,000 pages. The figures further demon strate that If congiessmen were paid the rates established by them for let-ti-r rnrrleis and fourth-class pnstmas tPiM, many of them would be bunting mush and milk on foot, instead of seeking terrapin and champagne In automobiles. A COM IT.TKNT St'PEniNTEXDENT. Of rout so, the house did far more work than the senate. It lias a super intendent wbo thoroughly understands his) business. His eye Is on ever workman, and he has the power to se lect, forward, or retard work, as ho pleases. This power conies from the letalnincnt of the rules of the Ilftv fourth congress, better known as tho Tom Heed rules. It was under these that Iteed held the s?nate by tho thr.oat while the Dlngley bill was under con sideration. Hy Mmply withholding the appointment of the housu committees, he stultilled the action of the senate on ull extraneous matters. These rules have not been changed a jot or a tittle. It is almost rertaln that the fifty-seventh congress will follow In tho same path, without deviating on inch. The fifty-seventh will then be operating un der rules adopted six years before Its birth. No greater tribute could be paid to th genius of the man from Maine. It must be confessed, however, that Speaker Henderson has not mis-used the power obtained from a former con gress by tho will of the majority of the house. He has an Iron nature and n sympathetic manner. No favoritism Is shown. All partake of the same -'legislative food. Pie Is rarely served, and when served the cuts are exceed ingly small. In this respect Hender son stands in direct contrast with soma of his predecessors. Neither Kelfer nor Heed equaled him In the art of spread ing a legislative table or of serving legislative meals. Henderson promptly cut out tho work to be finished before the holidays. Hp Inspired the heads of the great committees with his energy, and it was pushed to a finish without delay. Marvelous Is It that so much has been accomplished In seventeen days. On the third day of the session the committee on rules surprised tho house by reporting a special order pro viding for tno Immediate consideration of tho bill for the Increase of the army. It was passed after a discussion lasting two days. John A. T. Hull, chairman of the committee on military nftalrs, onglneered It to a final vote with con summate adroitness. Tho debate was characterized with Intense fervor and enlivened with political paroxysms. McCAI.I. LIKE A OATL1NO GUN. An event entirely unexpected occur red. Samuel W. McCall opened fire on the measure with a Gatllng gun. There was consternation among the sup porters of the bill. It was like the Jescent of an old-time Berserker on The Pains of Kidney Disease Warn You Against the Most Dreadfully Fatal of Disorders. You Can be Cured by Promptly Using Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills. Pain Is nature's signal whereby she warns nun of approaching danger, Few diseases are so dreadfully fatal as disorders of the kidneys and few are accompanied by more were pains ana aiscomiorts. )ne of the most common symptoms of ney disease is the smarting, scalding sea- ion when passing water which is likely to fne very frequently and at Inconvenient lies. Then there Is the dull, heavy aching une sman oi me dick ana down trie iimos.

W. Chj . n peaceful coast. Tho roar of the gun rcachnd New England and threw Charles Francis Adams Into ecstasy. He gave vent to his emotions at a. dinner to George 8. Boutwell, In (Bos ton, not long afterward. He compli mented McCall by placing him in the same category with Georgo F. 'Hoar and Charles Sumner, declaring that It wns a peculiarity of Massachusetts that she loved Independence within limits, nnd rarely failed to testify her anpreclatlon of It. The guests shouted with unalloyed delight when Mr. Ad atns capsheafed his compliments to Hoar and McCall by tho nalvo re mark: "They are not less honest than I." A proof-sheet of this speech was afterward sent to every member of congrMis. Nobody answered McCall. Grosvenor, Bingham, Bromwell, Dick, William Allen Smith, Boutell, of Il linois, Moody, of Massachusetts, and Ilowersock threw themselves Into a hollow square nnd repelled a cavalry assault made by Kleberg. Shaforth, Fitzgerald of Brooklyn, Otey, Stark, Clayton of New York, Hay, Green, Cowherd, Slayden. Jett, McDermott of Now Jprsey, nnd James B. Wil liams of Illinois. The fiercest fight was over the piop osltlon to abolish tli" canteen, The onset waB led by General I.tttlofleld, of Maine, a pupil of Nenl Dow. Fire Hew from many a saber, but Little Held was victorious by a vote of over three to one. Pnrki-r, of New Jersey, made a powerful nppeil on behalf of tho soldier, but It was entirely un heeded. As the rules preclude n yea nnd nay vote In committee of the whole, nnd as thero Is no provision by which a defeated nmendment can secure such a vote In tho open house, the names of those who stood by thu canteen will never be known. It was long after dark before the fight was ended and the bill passed. LENTZ LOST AN OPPORTUNITY. A striking feature of tho contest wai th elimination of two sections, which would have placed Fltzhugh Leo, Jnmes H. Wilson nnd W. B. Shatter on the retired list as major generals. Tho piovlsion affecting Shatter was the first to come before the house. The minority, with one exception, voted against it. This Incensed tho majority, who revenged themselves by striking Lee and Wilson. It was a great de bateone that will furnish meat for many a future political campaign. The only rcgretnble Incident about It was tho absence of Hon. John J. Lentz, of Ohio. As a member of thu committee on military affairs, entitled to prefer ence In recognition, he lost the oppor tunity of his life. With the bill providing for the In crease of the army out of the way, the Grout bill came to the front. It was forced there by a special order adopted in tho last session. It imposed a tax of 10 cents a pound on oleomargarine when colored In Imitation of butter. The farmers were said to be In favor of It to a man, and the mechanics against It. Organized labor had de nounced It. Those living In cities claimed that they were entitled to tha same privileges as the farmer. They had a right to purchase oleomargarine because It Is cheaper than butter. If they desired It, without the Imposi tion of nn extra, ten-cent tax. The strongest argument against tho bill wns the assertion that It was taxing one Industry for the benefit of another. This was practically admitted by those favoring the measure. As for the col oring clause. It was assorted that but ter Itself was colored. No one denied that statement, yet the bill was passed. The agriculturists beat the mechanics over two to one. It required only a day's talk to ac complish this result. Tho victors were cheered by the adhesion of many strong advocates of state rights. Jo seph W. Bailey, of Texas, was not among them. He snld that nobody had ever accused the ladies of fraud be cause they colored their cheeks. "If," said he, "It Is to be charged that every time an article Is colored or discolored somebody Is attempting to practice a fraud, then why not make It a crime to color butter, just as It Is now pro posed to make It a crime to color oleo margarine?" TRIUMPH FOR GENERAL GROUT. The passage of the bill was a great triumph for William W. Grout, of Ver mont, who championed it. It gives a basis on which to make a fight for n return to congress two yenrs hence. He refused n re-nomlnation last fall to accept a seat In the United States senate. Ten of his pledged supporters In the Isglslature swerved from the path of political rectitude, and Paul Dillingham, much to the surprise of Mr. Grout, slipped Into the senate at the side of Redfleld Proctor. With the Giout bill out of the way, General Harry Rlngham, of Philadel phia, spiang the first of the fourteen great appropriation bills upon tho house. Being privileged, it required no special order from the speaker's committee on rules. It carried $21, 490,208.27. Under tho general's skillful guidance it shot the rapids In two hours and a half. On the following day Sereno E. Payne brought up the bill reducing the war revenue. This wns also privileged. It entailed a discussion lasting three days. The minority sought a further reduction. The discussion opened with hardly a ripple, but when the beer schedule was reached It began to seethe like a whirlpool, With a dele gation of brewers In the gnllerles.thero was a continuous strugglo for the floor. Those who made the most noise and had tho least to say usually secured It. Almost Invariably they damaged the cause which they sought to defend. Don't imagine that you are experimenting when you use Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Fills, They are almost as well known as his great Recipe Book, have made some of the most surprising cures of kidney disease on record and have come to be considered the only absolute cure for kidney disease. Mr. J. Curtlss, a well known R. R. engi neer, living at 191 Murry street, Bingham ton, N. Y writes: "Soon after going on the road I began to be troubled by severe pains In my back accompanied by such terrible weakness tbat I was obliged to stop work for days at a time. " Hearing of the good results obtained by using Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills, I gave them a trial. They helped roe almost Imme diately, and now I can truthfully say tbat I am as well as any man, thanks to Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills." Dr. Chase's Kid ney. Liver Fills, one pill a dose, as cents a box at all dealers or Dr. A. W. Chase Medicine Co., Buffalo. N, Y. There was apparently no question that the brewers were entitled to the total repeal of the tax Imposed by the war with Spain. Its repeal had been prom ised ns soon as the war was over. Tho tax Imposed by the civil war stilt re mained, nnd a further Imposition wns regarded as unjust. These points alone presented in a clear and concise wny by men of common rpiiro, ought to have been suniclent. Unfortunately such men were not preferred. The presiding officer In committee of the whole allowed the finbbergasters to pre-empt the floor, and fill tho chamber with froth. Tho work was varied by experts in tho stringing of udjectlvos nnd by gentle men fresh from tho realm of misrep resentation nnd the contiguous terri tory of exaggeration. There were a, few good speeches, but the effect of their delivery was: quickly drowned In the utterances of professional talkers. The result wns what might have been expected, Kvery effort to lower tho lax from tho limit placed by the ways and means committee was defeated by a decisive vote, and the brewers finally abandoned the galleries In ap parent disgust. After a hot strugglo over the repeal of the taxes on checks, telegrnms, nnd express receipts, tho minority gave way, nnd Sereno Payno won n complete victory. LABGKST OF APntOPIXIATION HILLS. Then the greatest of all the appro priation bills' wns Jumped through tho houre. It was handled by the Hon. Samuel P. Barney, of Wisconsin. It appropriated $143,215,230 for the pay ment of pensions In the year beginning In July next. Mr, Barney assured the members that this sum included what was likely to be paid to the Spanish wnr veterans, and the bill went through without a protest. The next day was suspension day. Members recognized by the speaker could movo to take up bills under suspension of the rules, but it would require a two thirds vote to pass them. Jacob H. Bromwell, of Cincinnati, tried to run this gauntlet with a bill giving vete rans the preference In civil sen-lea appointments, but camo out In shock ing condition. His defeat was so overwhelming that he could not even raise sufficient votes to tecure tho yeas nnd nays, nnd the veterans aro thus left without a record of the few friends who voted for the bill. The next two days were occupied In discussing grade crossing bills In Washington, D. C. The railroads got what they wanted, and tho people seem satisfied. On the 20th the Hon. James S. Sherman, of New York, turned the Indian appropriation bill on the house. It carried $9,03G,52G.09 $750,000 more than last year. Sherman ran it through within two hours, and Gover nor Hill, of Iowa, closed the session by engineering tho Military Academy ap propriation bill to a vote. The next day the speaker's gavel announced the holiday recess. LEGISLATION JAMMED IN THE SENATE. So much for the work of the house. How stands the record of the dying year In the senate. The only work of Importance it has achieved is to amend and pas the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. Legislation here Is Jammed. Aside from privileged business the subsidy bill has the right of way, with no apparent prospect of final action. The Nicaragua canal bill, sent over from the house last session, awaits consideration. Tho committee on ln bor has taken no action on the eight- hour bill, also sent over In tho last ses sion. The bill for the Increase of tho army demands Immediate attention, and the house Is awaiting its action on the Grout bill, the bill for the re duction of the war revenue and the four regular appropriation bills dumped be fore the recess. When you consider the struggle that must ensue over the river and harbor measure, and the mil lions that will be demanded for public buildings, still awaiting action In the house, It looks as though it would re quire a Hercules to finish the work be fore March 4. There Is no Hercules in the senate. It Is a law unto ltself.with senatorial courtesy predominant. Ty phoons are, however, In order, and the senatorial ship may be soon forced to scud under bare poles. Amos J. Cummlngs. m PECKVILLE. Mr. George Bates, who resides on Brook street, met with an accident yesterday morning while at work at the Lackawanna Coal company's col liery at Blakely. Bates was driving a mule attached to a culm car. While crossing over tho trestle which spans the Ontario and Western tracks, tho mule Jumped, starting tho car sud denly, and Bates was thrown from tho car nnd landed on the edge of tho trestle. Not being able to catch his balance, he plunged thirty feet to the Ontario and Western tracks. Ha landed on his head and shoulders' and was unconscious when picked up. Ho was convoyed to his home and Dr. J. B. Grover summoned. Bates, up to last evening, had not regained con sciousness and It is thought that he will not recover. Peckvllle Baptist church, Bev. J. S.

The above map has been carefully complied from United States documents by Tho Peruna Medicine company, of Columbus. Ohio. The figures were tak en frbm the mortnl statistics published by the government and entirely ngreo with tho archives kept nt The Hart man Sanitarium. The map Is made In four shades. The lightest shade shows the states which have tho lowest per cent, of deaths due to catarrhal diseases. In these states very close to 42 per cent, of all deaths in 1S90 were due to catarrhal diseases. That Is to say, over four out of every ten deaths were from catarrhal affpe tions. In the States of next darker shade the per cent, varies from 42 to 45. In the next darker shade. 45 to 43 per cent, of the whole number of deaths resulted from catarrhul diseases. In the darkest shade we have Indicated tho States in which over CO per cent., or one-hnlf or more, of all the deaths wero directly traceable to catarrh as the cause. This is an appalling state of af fairs. This nation has got to con front tho fact that catarrh has he come a national curse. Catarrhal diseases threaten tho life of our people. Over one-half of tho people suffer from some form or degree of catarrh. Fully thirty-five million people are personally interested in the discovery of a radical catarrh cure. Hon. Dan A.
