( UKUIiNT EVENTS.
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propriation bills were withdrawn, and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.
Tlio legislatures of Arizona and New
Mexico would probably license bull
fighting on Sunday, and the sale of the

A SUNDAY MUKDEIt.
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 Changeling Child.
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. Had numbness from my hips

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
