WASHINGTON NOTES.
Thursday afternoon of last week the
Senate voted in favor of the Panama
canal route-67 to 6 -and voted ten mil
lions to complete negotiations and begin
work, if a good title can be secured to
the old canal. The canal is lo be built
for $130,000,000, to be raised by two per
cent, gold bonds.
On Monday the Senate refused to con
sider the motion made by Senator Quay
to take up the bill admitting New Mex
ico, Arizona and Oklahoma as states.
Senator Quay got no opportunity in
the Senate Tuesday to press his motion
to take tbe bill to admit Oklahoma.
Arizona and New Mexico as States
away from the Committee on Territo
ries. He said he had been unable to get
his motion under consideration on ac
count of the "obstr active tactics" em
ployed against it. He. therefore, would
let it go over until next day. ne gave
notice that after that evening he would
object to any further business being
transacted by unanimous consent until
his motion was disposed of, and that he
would call up his motion next day.
POLITICAL.
At Erie, yesterday, tbe Democratic-
State Convention nominated Robert E.
Pattison for Governor; G<K>rge W.
Guthrie of Allegheny county for
Lieutenant Governor, and James
Nolan c f Berks county for Secretary of
Internal Affaire. Philadelphia county
was allowed but 29 delegates.
The Democrats polled 3,880 votes for
Judge, which with the 7,374 cast for the
Republican candidates for same office
makes 11.200 votes cast for candidates
for that office.
Grover Cleveland was the central
figure at the Democratic Unity gather
ing in New York last Thursday; and his
speech waa an appeal to Democrats to
discard the issues on which they had
been defeated.
Bryan is coining East to make a
Fourth of July speech at Boston, to ral
ly his scattered legions in behalf of free
silver and populism. He hoots at Hill
and Cleveland and will answer them in
ringing terma.
"One of the political events of last
week was the denunciation by the
Cheater County Republican Convention
of one of the Cheater delegates who,
after pledging himself to Elkin both in
writing and verbally, and having been
instructed hy resolution, gave his proxy
to an opponent. That man will be held
up to acorn for all time, as will, indeed,
all delegates who disregarded their in
structions, no matter what those in
fractions were. The Chester conven
tion declared for Senator Snyder for
United States Senator."—Ex.
Corrupt methods could not be resort
ed to with success at a State Convention
if weak and unprincipled men were not
elected delegates. A man should be
glad of the opportunity to resist the
temptation to be bribed, jnst to show
himself that he is not really at heart a
rascal. Men of approved integrity
should always be placed In positions of
trust. There are a great many semi
respected citizens who are not murderers
and thieves simply because they object
to being hanged or sent to prison.—
Punx'y Spirit.
"The endorsement of Senator W. P.
Snyder, President Pro Tem. of the
Senate of Pennsylvania, by the Chester
county convention for election to the
United States Senate, gives the friends
of Senator Penrose much concern. They
believe now what they pooh-poohed at
the time of the State convention, name
ly, tbat the Elkin people intend fighting
the Senator for re-election. The endorse
ment of Senator Snyder, it is conceded,
will be followed by similar action in
every convention controlled by the Elkin
people. Each county will endorse a
favorite son. They will follow the
fashion set by Senator Quay when he
had favorite sons brought out in many
of the counties to preyent endorsement
of Elkin."—Says a dipatch from Wash
ington.
Guilty of 31 MurderH.
Jane Toppan, murderess and degener
ate, committed to Tannton Insane
hospital Boston, Monday as the outcome
of a trial, wherein she was found not
guilty of murder by reason of insanity
in poisoning Mrs. Mary D. Gribbs. of
Catumet, has killed at least 80 other
persons, according to her own confes
sion. A nurse by profession, enjoying
the confidence of an unlimited acquaint
anceship, of seeming livable disposition,
skilled in the uses of medicines, especial
ly of narcotics, she was at heart a
maniac, whose delight was to see her
patients writhing in death's agony.
And her work did not stop there t< >r,
having baffled medical skill so that the
attending physician would assign a
natural cause of death, she would seem
to recover her normal mental poise and
sorrow with the living for the loss of a
loved one.
Jane Toppan's crimes were revolting
beyond all description, but the details
perhaps will never be known, for tbe
lips of her connsel are sealed. Her con
fession was not made as a story of
wholesale murder, but has been drawn
out little by little when hor counsel has
talked with her in Barnstable jail.

The Referendum Wins in Oregon
To many who are interested in the
progress of democratic ideas the most
significant result of the recent election
in Oregon is not the success of the per
sonally popular Democratic candidate
for Governor, while at the same time
the Republican Congressmen won by
increased majorities, but the adoption
by the people ot a constitutional amend
ment putting into effect iu H practical
form the principle of the Initiative and
Referendum.
Upon petition of five per cent, of
the legal voters any act passed by the
legislature mast be submitted to a pop
ular vote. Upon petition of eight per
cent, of the voters any measure, even if
voted down by the legislature, must be
so submitted. Many advocates of the
Referendum believe that in practice
few measures will be brought to the
actual test of a popular vote, holding
that the main effect will be to deter the
legislature from passing laws likely to
meet the disapproval of the people It
is claimed also that when th 6 people
have the right to demand submission of
any measure to a popular vote, the
motives for bribery will be largely
eliminated. The idea seems to be fin
ing in favor as the years go on. —Ex.
WHILE the Chinese cruiser Kai-Cbi
was lying in the Yang-Tse river, last
Sunday, she exploded and sank im
mediately all the crew, excepting
two, being killed or drowned.
Postponement of the Coronation.
With the empire en fete,with myriads
of flags flying as in gaudy mockery
from end to end of the city, and on the
very eve of his coronation, King Edward
VII has with dramatic suddenness been
stricken down Tuesday night. li> Buck
ingham Palace, where he was born, he
lies near to death. The royal families
have been summoned The chief
physicians of the empire are at hand,
noting minute by minute the condition
of the royal patient.
All the preparations for the corona
tion festivities are at an end. The army
of carpenters engaged on the huge
structures along the line of march
stopped their work.
The holiday crowds along the streets
melted away, and in the clubs and
public resorts there was no topic of con
versation except the King's nght with
death.
The news fell upon London with the
force and suddenness of a lightning
stroke. Nothing in the history of th-s
empire ever equaled the dramatic force
of it. Monday everybody with a flag
flung it out from a window or doorway.
Tuesday everybody was praying tbat
the life of the King may be spared.
There was no further talk of festivi
ties. All programmes were abandoned.

HIS HORSES WERE WOODEN
But All the Same He Had to Pay Fop
a Livery I.ieen»e.
As "his honor" sat on the bench from
which even bunded justice vr:is dis
pensed in the town of Lavilla, which
flourished way down in Florida before
the days of Greater Jacksonville, h<-
was amazed to note anions the prison
ers at the bar a "paleface."
Casting the eagle eye of the law over
the room, he was agitated still more to
observe a "biled" shirt and standing
collar and that these were worn by an
other white man.
The marshal, being called on, explain
ed that one white gentleman was ar
rested by him for running a "flying
jinny" without a license, and the other
was his lawyer. To a man cast in a
heroic mold than the mayor such
complete smashing of all records and
invading of precedent would have been
a Waterloo. A white man arre&ted in
Lavilla and a lawyer appearing to
plead in its court! To what are we
coming?
Repressing all signs of such a strain
011 his judicial composure, the mayor
announced that to fittingly mark so
great an occasion he would disregard
the calendar and take up the white
man's case first.
The lawyer demanded the immediate
discharge of the prisoner on the ground
that there was no ordinance requiring
"flying jinny" to pay a license and
threw the court on its "beam ends" by
asking for a copy of the ordinance
book.
No one had seen it in years. Many
doubted if there had ever been one. A
whispered consultation was held be
tween the mayor and the marshal and
a se.ll Mi instituted which revealed the
book, with a brick on top of it, supply
ing the place of a missing leg of tbe
stove.
After looking vainly through the
book for law on "flying jinnies" his
h ,:ior delivered judgment as follows:
"Ordinance No. 11 requires all keep
ers of livery stables to pay a license of
$lO and imposes a fine of twice the
amount for running without a license.
The defendant must pay both the fine
and the license."
"But." objected the lawyer, "this
mnn don't run a livery stable; he runs
a 'flying jinny.' "
"lie keeps horses for hire, doesn't
he?"
"Yes, but they are wooden horses,
and he charges a nickel for one ride."
"The ordinance makes 110 fine distinc
tion. It says livery stables require a
license. A livery stable Is a place where
horses are kept for hire. It makes no
difference whether they are wooden
horses or 'meat' horses. Next case, Mr.
Marshal."—New York Mail and Ex
press.
Stone Throwing.
A propensity to throw stones regard
less of consequences has been one of
the earliest signs of natural depravity
among luen since time began and, we
fear, must continue that way until the
millennium ushers in the era when bad
boys are 110 more and stones are con
fined to their proper and legitimate
uses.
Anyway, the mischief wrought by
this vicious and execrable habit looms
up into serious proportions when the
figures are given out by plate glass in
surance men showing that it costs not
less than $250,000 a year to make good
tiii' losses thus caused by reckless boys
in this country alone.
With stoii:' throwing costing S2SO,(H)D
a year, carelessness in setting fires cost
ing hundreds of millions more and
heedless accidents causing immense
sacrifice of property, the good people
have many bills to foot which ought
not to be theirs.—Leslie's Weekly.
The Coffee Heart.
The largest part of the coffee grown
In the world is consumed in the United
States, and some of our life Insurance
societies are beginning to realize how
Its excessive use ir.i .eases the risks of
life. Its effect is in shortening the
long beat of the heart, and medical e.\-
aiulnors for insurance companies have
added the term "coffee heart" to. tc.eir
regular classification of the functional
derangements of that organ. These
physicians advise that the use of cof
fee be limited to not more than two
■cups a day. Coffee topers, they say,
are plentiful and are as much tied to
their cups as the whisky toper. The
effect of : iie coffee upon the heart is
more lasting and consequently worse
than that of liquor.—Detroit Free
Press.

A Gerinaxitown mother in put

THE KNIGHTS OF OLD
The One Foe They Feared.
The Knights as a rule feared "no foe
in shining armor." In the fights they
indulged in it was give and take, and as
a rule the best man won. But there was
one foe who ever haunted the damp aad
draughty castles of the Knights, one ot
whom they stood in aWect fear, and that
foe was rheumatism. Rheumatism in the
shoulder and no more swinging of the
sword. Rheumatism in the legs and no
more striding of the war charger. Un
happy were the servants of the Knight
who was kept at home by stiffened limb*
and aching bones when great thing*
were toward. Every friend became hi*
enemy as he looked at the good sword
on the wall and vainly tried to raise the
impotent arm.
Word# it hat been said are foesil his
tory. The Roman naturalists christened
the* leopard leofiardus because they sup
posed the spotted creature was the joint
offspring of lion and tiger. So the name
leopard, embalms ancient ignorance and
i preserves it like a fly in amber.
It is the same with the word rheuma
tism. Its name implies that it was sup
posed to be a sort of rheum, a catarrhal
affection, such as results from a cold.
And while the treatment for rheumatism
was based on that theory it was small
wonder that cures were infrequent. To
day we locate the cause of rheumatism
in the blood and we drive it out scien
tifically by the use of Doctor Pierc*'a
Golden Medical Discovery.
THE MODERN TREATMENT.
« Quite a number of years ago, v hen I
was a girl at home, my father was pros
trated upon a bed of sickness," wntes
Mrs P. M. Wheeler, of No. 2 Ann Place,
Bradford, Penna. "He had rheumatism
and a complication of troubles which
baffled the skill of three of our best
physicians. All through the winter
months he lay upon his bed, suffering
severely at times with rheumatism in his
limbs. While in this condition a pam
phlet containing a description of Dr.
Pierce'* remedies fell Into his hand*. I
remember of hia sitting up in bed and
reading it through and then exclaiming,
•That medicine is just what I need!'
Just then a neighbor came along who
was going to town and we sent for a
bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. We laid aside the doctor's
medicines and commenced giving my
father the ' Golden Medical Discovery,'
according to directions. The first three
days he felt worse, as is often the case.
After that he commenced to gain. His
ghysician was surprised at the change in
is condition and candidly admitted that
the 'Golden Medical Discovery' was
doing more for him than he had been
able to do. In less than two weeks my

father was up with his clothes on. He
continued taking the medicine and in c
short time was well, and ever afterward
was loud in his praises of Dr. Pierce'i
Golden Medical Discovery as he told of
the wonderful cure it performed in his
case."
When the cause of rheumatism ii
located in the blood it is at once evident
that the one thing to do is to purge the
blood of the acids and poisons which
breed and feed the disease. In all com
mon forms of blood disease, Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery mar be used
with absolute confidence in the result
It cures scrofula, salt-rheum, tetter,
eczema, pimples, boils, ulcers, sores and
eruptions of all kinds which are caused
by the corrupt condition of the blood.
It is the
BXST BESOM FOR THE BLOOD
because it absolutely drives out and
eliminates the poisons
which cause disease.
"In the fall of 1893 my
ankle began to pain me,"
writes Mrs. C. t. fcriggs,
of Tunnel City, Monroe
Co., Wis. "Not a steady
pain, but it grew worse
fast and soon became a
* running sore. It made
me very lame. When I
sat down had to rest it on
a stool, as I could not
endure the pain when it
was on the floor. The
doctor gave me something
to heal it, but it would
break out worse than ever
in a short time. That
was the way I suffered for
five years. I was so nerv
ous hardly knew what I
was doing sometimes.
Got so I could not do
the work for myself and
husband. In the fall of
1898 I commenced to take
' Doctor Pierce's Golden
I Medical Discovery and
' Pleasant Pellets. My
ankle soon healed and
my nerves grew strong.
I have not had auy return of the trouble
since, and now I often walk over a mile
and feel no bad effects. I am very
thankful for my recovery. Formerly I
was seldom able to ride even."
"Golden Medical Discovery" not only
purifies the blood but it increases it in
quantity and enriches it in quality. The
proof of this is found In the fact that
the vitality of every organ of the body
is increased by the use of the " Discov
ery." The liver is made active, the
kidneys throw off disease, die heart ia
strengthened, the lungs are healed, and
the body gaining in flesh and increasing
in weight records this gain of vitality in
pounds and ounces of sound, solid flesh.
BHOIN RIGHT AND BEGIN RIGHT NOW.
If yon are suffering from rheumatism
or any other form of blood poison, begin
right by using the powerful blood puri
fier, " Golden Medical Discovery." And
l>egin right now. Don't put It off.
Dday is the friend of disease. Every
day of delay means a longer struggle
when the tattle begins. Drive the cor
rupt causes of disease from the blood.
Be rid forever of scrofula. Wash 'he
pimples from the akin, heal the defiling
sores, and bring back the flesh tints ana
contours of youth. "Golden Medical
Discovery" does all this and more, on
the testimony of thousands of self
respecting men and women.
There is no alcohol in " Golden Med
ical Discovery" and it is free from
opium, cocaine and all other narcotics.
Accept no substitute for Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. There ia
nothing "just as good" tor purifying
the blood.
