The 57 th Congress of the United States expired by limitation and ad journed yesterday; but the President has called upon the Senate tc meet in extra session, today, to consider the canal and reciprocity treaties. This was made necessary by the fake-fight that Quay of this state put up for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico an states,and by the filibuster of Morgan of Alabama against ratifying tbe pur chase of the Panama canal route. It was noticed, however, that as soon as the Littlefield anti-trust bill, which had passed the House, and which pro vided fines and penalties for both the givers and takers of rebates, was shelved, the statehood riders to tho ap propriation bills were withdrawn, and the bills were passed. The people of this country have be come alarmed during the past few years at the rapid accumulation of its wealth in the hands of tbe few, and it was ex pected that this Congress would pass some legislation to retard or curb it. The House passed the Littlefield bill, but both it and Senator Hoar's bill died in the Senate, and the only bills that have passed both houses are tho ones fixing the principle of publicity as re gards the doings of corporations. President Roosevelt appears to be sat isfied with the outcome, but at tbe it is a curious fact that the tru3t people are jubilant over the defeat of the two bills mentioned. Tbe President had to contend with a Senate composed of wealthy men, most of whom are probably in the position of Mr. Quay, who gave as his reason for voting to shelve the Littlefield bill that he owned stock in a corporation that might be called a trust. The Senate of tho United States, as it is at present constituted, is a curse to this Nation. American literature is developing both in qnantity and quality. The figures for 1902, just annonnced, show that 7833 new books were published in this country during that year, and of these 5210 were by American authors. The most popular book of last year and consequently the best seller, was "Audrey," a historical romance of the early settlement of Virgina, by Mary Johnston, a Southern girl; and after it came "The Virginian," a cow-boy story by Owen Wistar. The "historical romance" has become the most popular form of story, and of all that have ever been written in and of this country none excel Dr. McCook's "The Lattimers," a story of the "Whiskey Insurrection" in Western Pennsylvania of a hundred years ago and better. Authors of popular books make money, but, as an exchange remarks: "Because a few books sell enormons editions there is a general misapprehen sion as to the circulation of the ordinary book. Any publisher is delighted with the prospect of selling five thousand copies of a novel. Perhaps the great majority never reach beyond 1500. Of the novels that are called standard in this country and which are properly esteemed and will be handed down to posterity there are many which have not reached a circulation of 10,000, while 30,000 was considered an extra ordinary sale up to five years, ago, when the craze for particular books set in." Posterity does not ask for many books in any one year, and of the nearly eight thousand new books published last year it is probable that three-fourths of them will be absolutely dead by the end of this year and ninety-nine per cent a decade hence. • The evidence accumulated by a Com mission, lately appointed by the govern ment of Saxony, to inquire as to the causes of longevity, it. somewhat sur prising. Of seventy-three men and wo men of ninety years and better, who were visited and questioned but few keep themselves clean and none are "total abstainers." The oldest, a man over a hundred years of age, lives in a dirty, poorly ventilated room, and look ed as though he bad not washed him self for years: while one of tho old wo men said she could not live "unless she got drunk three times a week." The evidence collected, taken as a whole, fayors dirt and drink as the causes for longevity—in Saxony. WASHINGTON NOTES. Tuesday night Senator Tillman of South Carolina threatened to block tho Naval Appropriation and General Defi ciency bills until his state's claim for $47,245 was paid. Tho two now U. S. Senators from Delaware, one an Addicks man and the other a regular, were sworn in and took their seats, Tuesday. That state has been unrepresented in the Senate for four years. On Tuesday the bill appropriating w ,000 to purchase a site for a public building in Butler passed both Houses, and now awaits the President's signa ture. Senator Quay leaves for Florida, to day, "Filibustering" was in the air in Washington last week. The Democrats of the House tried it on, Thursday, their grievance being the attempt by the Re publicans to unseat Representative But ler, of St. Louis. Mr. Butler, who was unseated, has had the somewhat unique distinction of being perhaps tho only man who was ever turned twico oat of the same Congress. Just before ad journment last Juno his seat was de clared vacant on account of alleged frauds at tho election in 1900, but tbe Republican contestant was not seated, the House merely holding that no legal election had been held. Last fall Mr. Butler was chosen to tbe vacancy caused by the action of the House, and also for the full term beginning on March 4. Although ho had about (s,(Mil) plurality, his Republican opponent made a con test. and was adjudged entitled to tbe seat. Tbe whole trouble grew out of the infamous Nisbet election law, ]< • ed by a Democratic Legislature for tho Republican city of St. Louis alone, tbe object being to prevent tbe Republican majority from controlling tbe city anil electing Representatives to Congress The law appears to work well enoogh ont there, but in Washington Congress takes a hand in the matter. In the Senate last Friday Senator Blackburn.of Kentucky, made a bid for fame by pressing the Littlefield anti-trust bill for consideration and every Republican Senator except Mc- Coinps and Wellington, of Maryland, and Nelson, of Minnesota, lined np against tbe motion to take up the bill and it was defeated by a vote of 38 to 2*. Senator Quay voted against the consideration of the bill, but pleaded to be excused from voting on the bill it self because he owned stock in a corpor ation which might be regarded as a trust. The Senate then went to work and passed the naval and one or two other appropriation bills. Later there was an executive session, wherein Sena tor Morgan, of Alabama, continued his apparently interminable argument against tbe Panama treaty. Despite the hopeful feeling entertained by some Republican leaders that both this and the Cuban treaty might be acted upon before adjournment, tbe apprehension grew that an extra session of the Senate would be necessary. In the House the Republicans put an end to Democratic filibustering by adopting tbe two rules reported to the House by Representative Dalzell. The Democrats fought as long as tbey could, but were finally forced to the wall by the solid Republican strength of the House. They were in ugly mood and jeered when Representative Con non, of Illinois, said in his old-fashioned way: "Now, boys, quit it; stop this foolishness and let us attend to these great public supply bills in a rational way." Nevertheless they had to submit to the inevitable. Two very important results —neither of any party value to the Democrats, but, an the contrary, of great disadvantage to them —attend their action in filibustering. The first is that a large numl<er of bills such as claims, pensions, bills for the erection af bridges and altering and adding to terms of the United States courts, all of interest to their respective localities and to those who introduced them, would of necessity fail. The second and most important is that under the rule adopt ed concurrence will be forced upon con ference reports on appropriation bills with all the amendments put in them by the Senate. POLITICAL. The Biglows of Pittsburg were in Washington, last week, and induced Senator Quay to take a hand in the ap pointment of W. V. Campbell,a brother in-law of County Recorder O'Neil, as postmaster of McKeeaport, though Con gressman Acheson had recomended tbe re-appointment of Mr. Harrison. Quay is reported as saying to the Biglows: "I'll go along on almost anything yon suggest, but you've got to harmonize ont there. This thing can't go on much longer. It's gone on too long already, and the whole western half of the State is demoralized. There will be guerrillas in every county if you don't stop soon." State Chairman Quay has issued a call for the State Convention to met in Harrisburg on Wednesday, May 27th, to nominate candidates for State Treas urer, Auditor General and (two) for Superior Judge. Auditor General Hardenburg is a candidate for State Treasurer, though it ia reported that W. L. Mathues is slated for the place. Ex-state Senator Meredith of Kittanning is a candidate for Auditor General. H A KWISBUBG. On Wednesday of last week Governor Pennypacker sent in his first veto. The axe was applied to a bill of Representa tive Mansfield, of Beaver. It authorized boroughs to sell land granted them by the Commonwealth for the purpose of providing water supply, where such lands have ceased to be useful. He holds that since the State has the claim, it should be consulted. The Houso was on its dignity morning. The Senate hml passed n reflation withdrawing from the Gov ernor a bill relating to fee# of tipstaves, which had originated in the House and the House took offense, claiming that the resolution to recall should have first been adopted by that body. It there fore refused to concur by a unanimous vote. Mr. Balhathaser reported favor ably the bill for the protection of bull frogs and terrapin. The State cash box is not, just at present in danger, for between it and the demanda npon it stand the House and Senate appropriation committees, the Senate and House and Governor Pennypacker's veto axe, but the call upon it for appropriations are so alarm ingly large that Chairman Bliss, of the House appropriation committee, was constrained to issne a statement show ing bow utterly impossible it will be to comply with all the requests made for State cash. The committee finds that there has been a total cf $-11,501,685.03 in appro priationa asked for in the next t.vo years, while the State financial officers estimate the revenue for the two years to meet appropriations at $31,000,000, or $10,000,000 lees than the demands thus far made. The demands are sub divided as fol lows: General appropriation bill, $15,- 235,007.60. Additional salaries of judges (should proposed act pass; $292,541.61. indefinite amounts in general appropri ation bill, $1,265,477. Rebuilding bridges, $100,000: purchase of forestry lands, $600,000; extra appro priation to public schools, $800,000: new capital construction, $1,500,000. Total, $3,000,000. Amount of appropiations asked for charitable institutions, etc., $21,708,364. Grand total of all demands, $41,501,- 6*3. o:;. The House at ilarrisburg, on Thurs day last, by a vote of 134 to 38, passed, finally,the measure fixing the minimum salary for school teachers at sls per month. The Montana Legislature has a bill before it licensing gambling, on the lo cal option plan.

Sunday evening Karl Paine, chef at at the Standard Hotel on Fairground avenue, and Eugene Clifton, waiter, quarreled over an order for supper. Paine told Clifton to hurry and deliver that supper before it got colli. Clifton got angry and the men, l>oth negroes, would have come to blows bad not Lan don Cooper, another vyaiter, separated them. After threatening each other Paints pointed with the carving knife he was using to cut meat to the door and told Clifton to get out and tend bid own bus iness. Clifton took tlr° tray of food unstairs to a room where Mrs. Clinton, wife cf proprietor Earl Clinton, was slightly ill. came back to the kitchen and started for Paine saying "Now I'm going to put the bng on yon.'" Paine was cutting meat at tbe time, Cooper again tried to get between them, but Clifton stopped around Cooper and fired twice at P;tine across the corner of the table. At tbe second shot Paine fell One bullet had passed through the intestines and the other entered his left side under the heart and passed downward through the liver. From this wound he bled to death sis hours later in the Hospital. The bullet was afterwards taken from under the skin on his right side. The bullet which passed through the intes tines was removed bffore death in hopes of saving his life. The "hooting was seen by Cooper. Mrs. Mattie Criswell, Mike Dressin and a Slavish woman, all of whom were in the kitchen. The police were notified at once. After his evil deed Clifton ran to his room, put on his coat and overcoat and fled through the back kitchen door, waded across the creek, the icy water reaching to his neck, and went to the boarding lionse of Bean Lyons on the Island, wbere he spent some time with (xertie Washington, his sweetheart. He spent the night wandering around. At 9 a in. Mondav he was seen at tbe B. R. &P. round house. Shortly afterwards he bought a ticket at tbe P. & W. sta tion for Cullery. Constable Brown and Donaldson had been told that Clifton was seen going toward the station and were on hand when the 9:15 Bessemer came in. Clifton was seen to enter a coach and lock himself in a closet. The officers boarded the train, Brown stay ed on the platform to prevent escape by tbe window and Donaldson stood at the closet door. A brakeman was called, unlocked the door and Clifton surren dered without resistance. He did not know Paine was dead until told then. He was taken before Justice Keck where a charge of murder was made against him by County Detective Barnes, and after a hearing he was re manded to jail for trial. Monday night Coroner Atwell sum moned a jury composed of W. B. Tay lor, Kennedy Marshall. I> L. Rankin, Chas. H. Miller, Wm. B Purvis and E. H. Negley. They viewed the body in Roesmng's undertaking rooms, and after hearing evidence returned a verdict that death resulted from shots fired by Eugene Clifton with intent to kill and murder. Paine was 29 years of age. He had been the Standard chef since last Aug. He was well behaved and very well lik ed, For 18 months he was cook for a camp of U. S. engineers. His home was in Washington, D. C. Clifton had been in Butler for several months and boro tho reputation of be ing quarrelsome.

The Scientific Explanation of the Change Formerly At tributed to the Fairies. In folk lore stories there is frequent mention of changelings children who were, changed by fairy influence. Some loving wife and proud husband found their child weak of body, and some times weak of mind. It grew up to be fretful, sullen and perhaps spiteful. It seemed impossible that love could bring such a child into the world. So the child was called a fairy change ling, a child substituted by the fairies for one whom in their envy for its lovli ness they had carried away. We hear no more of fairy stories. Stern science says that healthy and lovely children must have healthy par ents, and that when the mother !n her days of waiting and anticipation is nervous, anxious, sleepless and gener ally miserable, her child will be weak and fretful. How reasonable this is. The child can have no strength which the mother does not give it, and how can the weak mother, who has not enough strength for herself have anything to spare for her babe ? THE FAIRY GOD-MOTHER is a very pretty invention. But the real fairy god-mother is the natural mother of the child. It is she who must endow her child with health from which springs all other endowments desirable for humanity. The way to have healthy children is to be healthy. But how to be healthy is the vexing question for women. Is the mother to blame because she is nerv ous, because her appetite fails and her strength wanes, because she is sleepless and despondent ? One cannot blame the woman whose only failing is that she does not know how to change her condition. Yet a woman's health is practically in her own control. If she is weak she can be made strong. If she is sick she can be made well. The experience of other women shows that the rose of mother hood can be stripped of its thorns by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. "When I wrote to you in March, ask ing advice as to what to do for myself," says Mrs. Ella Reynolds, of Guffie, McLean Co., Ky. "i was expecting the baby's coming in Tune, and was sick all of the time. Had been sick for several months. Could not get anything to stay on my stomach, not even water. Had mishaps twice in six months, nnd threat ening all the time now. Had female weakness for several years. My hips, back and lower bowels hurt me all the time.

SUTTON, Adm'r., Kvans City, Pa. W. 11. LUSK, Att'y, 11-03 down. Had several hard cramping spells, and was not able to do any work at all. I received your answer in a few days, telling me to take Dr. Pierce'i Favorite Prescription. I took three bottles, and before I had taken it * week I was better, and before I had taken it a month I was able to help do my work. On the 27th of May my baby came, and I was only sick three hours, and had an easy time. The doctor said I got along nicely. "We praise Dr. Pierce'* medicine for it has cured me. lam better now than I have been for thirteen year®. I hope all how are afflicted will do as I have done and be cured." Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a perfect medicine for women. It estab lishes regularity, dries the drains which weaken women, heals inflammation and cures female weakness. It is the best preparative for maternity, strengthening the nerves, encouraging "the appetite and inducing refreshing sleep. It gives the mother strength to give her child and make the baby's advent practically pain less. THE TEST OP WOMAN'S HEALTH is strength. A well woman will be a strong woman. She will not be " just dragging around" with throbbing head, aching back and constant weariness. No woman can be strong who is troubled by disease of the delicate female organism. The proof of the curative power of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription may be all summed up in the phrase "It makes weak women strong, sick women well." "During my two years of married life I have not had good health," writes Mrs. Daisy Studdard, of 608 So. Esplanade Ave., Leavenworth, Kans. " I was all run-down, and my httsbaqd got me to write to Dr. Pierce and explain my case to him ana see if he could do me any good. So I wrote, and, thank the Lord, I got an early reply, telling me what the trouble was. I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, ana also the 'Pleasant Pellets,' and now can say that I feel like a new woman, and can say also that we have a big baby four months old. When the baby came it was just wonderful how I got along and now I do all my work and do not feel tired out like I used to. I have taken eight bottles of the 'Favorite Prescrip tion.' It makes one feel well and strong." Women who are troubled with chronic diseases aro invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All letters are pri vately read and privately answered, and womanly confidences are guarded by the same strict professional privacy ob served in personal consultations. Ad dress Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffqjo, N. Y. When a dealer tempted by the little more profit paid by less meritorious prep arations •ffcrs a substitute as "just as good" as "Favorite Prescription'' re member that "just as good" for him means his profit and your loss.

"Would't take five dollars for it if we couldn't get another. Gave receipt for ' nursing sore mouth' to two women that the doctor was not able to benefit, and they were cured."
