The Philadelphia newspapers daily ttrge upon residents of that city to boll all the water used in the house. The calm at Harrisburg still con tinues, but the storm is said to be drawing nearer with each succeeding day Jefferson's Birthday, like his views, seems to be susceptible to the btfetohing process. To oblige Bryan, the $ Jefferson Birthday dinner will be held on some other day. In New York it is a misdemeanor to feed the sparrow. In Boston there are excellent persons who seem will ing to make it a misdemeanor to get rid of him He is an able chap, and keeps the legislators busy. The name of Dr. Bland, of Potts ville, is prominently mentioned in connection with the Republican nom ination for Congress in this district. He is being urged by tho younger element of the party, and they pro, pose to ask for his nomination. "When Mr Eugene Debs declares that were the state to giye work to it would not be necessary to dis- i prison labor, tecause men would be driven to resort to crime to get 'ing, he exhibits the usual in ilty for reasoning that afflicts Jid. He seems to be unaware of tno fact that not more than one per cent, of convicted persons are forced into criminal practices because they cannot get work. Yet that is the fact. The United States Senate, several years ago, decided that if a Legisla ture of a state upon which developed the duty of electing a Senator, ad journed sine die without doing so there was no way in which the va cancy could be filled ad interim, that is, until the Legislature should meet in session again, or it should be suc ceeded by a new Legislature. The power of the Governor of a state to appoint is only where a vacancy oc curs during the recess of the Legisla ture. It is believed that the Senate at its next session will reopen the whole matter and try to find a remedy. The sure and right way Is to offer an amendment to the Constitution mak ing a Senatorship an elective office, the same as that of Representative. There is a growing feeling that the most prominent figure at tho dinner of the Croker Club, on April 13, will be Arthur Pue Gorman, of Maryland. The word is being passed around that the silvery-haired champion of the gold caufce is going to make a play for position, aud that that position will be nothing less than the support of Ua T...nn.r,a nl !,, l.'ouf tr.r- tliu Presidential nomination, uorman, sb the Crokerites suggest, will have the advantage of priority over Bryan in the matter of getting before the public, for it will be several days after his Metropolitan Opera House up 1 -.1 - .111.,.. ,Unr,a- at Grand Central Palace, April 19 beiug ,the date set for the latter event. ;tue loudest uowis over me taws i,wbteu have beon passed by tne legis latures of the several states placing restrictions upon their business, have themselves to thank for this condition of affairs. If no extremely offensive cartoons had been published no ant! cartoon bill would have been enacted by the California legislature this win ter. Newspaper proprietors should not forget that after all they are In a measure the servants of the people. Public men, and others, are no longer willing to put up with tho perform ances of some of the journals which have thrown decency to the winds, Respectable journals, those which have some sense of propriety, and who respect the rights of oitlzeng, have nothing to fear from legislation, except that sort of legislation which is the result of spite or lunacy.

"But the statements in the newspaper of today. charging me hy Implication with having vWiteil u hotel In Jersey City with Mr. liarnet nre so crossly and atrociously false thnt 1 feel, In justice to myself, my husband and my friends, that I must make some statement. "I may sny In beginning that the cruel slander uttered by the district attorney In his address to the coroner's jury is, I believe, largely responsible for the sub sequent nttneks upon me. His ofllcial position Rave his statements n weight that they did not deserve. The public has been slow to believe that a sworn pilblle ollber eotild, without a shadow of proof, vllllfy nnd slander the repu tation of a woman. Hut this was done by the district attorney, and I haVc suf fered In consequence. "On the occasion to which the- district attorney referred in making his slander ous accusation against nie I was on a, yachting trip, chaperoned hy my married sister, and the testimony before the coroner failed to show a single instance of impropriety or indiscretion on my part, ns, indeed, there was no such in stance. "Durinc the lifetime of my parents I lived with them, as I testified before the coroner, and all my other places o residence were aKo testified to by me. Much of the time I lived with my mar ried sisters, and always visited them, and was visited by them. There has never been any mystery nbout my life or movements, nor has thorp been nnything in my life different from that of any other self respect Ins women. "My acquaintance with Mr. Bnrnct was through the introduction of Mr. Molinoux, and my associations with him were merely thoo of friendship. I was never in Jersey City in my life except in passing through to take n train. "At the time stated in the newspapers, when Mr. Barnot first visited the hotel, May, ISO", I had never met him. This slander is as baseless as the many others which have been published concerning me. "In simple justice to myself, my fam ily and my friends, I ask tho public press to refrain from printing such wicked accusations, which the slightest investigation would show to be un founded."

" To Do III Costs More Than To Do Welt' This "wise saw" might properly read, 44 It costs more to SE ill than to BE well." The source of all health is rich, strong blood. It is to the Body what the mighty streams are to the earth. If the blood is pure, the Body thrives; if the blood is weak or impoverished, then every pulse-beat carries weakness instead of strength. Why make the cost of living more than it need be? Purify your blood and give your constitution a chance to do its level best. The only perfect blood purifier and vigor-maker in exist ence is the world-famed Hood's Sana' parilla. It brings good, perfect health, It never disappoints.

Mr. John Sherman was yesterday safely re-' moved from the American line steamer Paris to the quarters prepared for him on board tho llnited States cruiser Chi cago. He was carried on a stretcher, which wns laid on one of the boata of tho Paris while fast to the davits. The boat was then lowered into the water nnd was taken in tow by a steam launch. Two umbrellas were placed over the sick man in order to prevent the sun from overheating him. Mr. Sherman was hoisted on board the Chicago in the snme ninnner. He wns accompanied by F. H. Wlborg, Dr. Mngee and a nurse. Immediately after Mr. Sherman had been taken on board the Chicago the Paris, with her party of tourists on board, left here for Clenfuegos. The Chicago left soon afterward for Tampa, Fla. Dr. draff, of the Paris, who examined Mr. Sherman after he was transferred to the Chicago, says both lungs are prac tically clear, and thnt the patient is do ing well. He praises the manner in which the traiiMfer wns conducted, under the direction of Chief Officer Bcckwlth, who did not leave until he saw Mr. Sher man comfortably installed in the cap tain's cabin. Women Should Know It. Many women suffer untold agony and misery because the nature of their disease is not correctly understood, They have been led to believe that womb trouble or female weakness of some sort is responsible for the many ills that beset womankind. Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, rheumatism, a dragging pain or dull ache in the back, weak ness or bearing-down sensation, profuse or scanty supply of urine with strong odor, frequent desire to pass it with scalding or burning sensation, sediment in it after stand ing in bottle or common glass for twenty-four hours, are signs of kidney andbladdertrouble. The above symptoms are often attributed by the patient herself or by her physician to female weakness or womb trouble. Hence, so many fail to obtain relief, because they are treating, not the disease itself, but a reflection of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble. In fact, women us well as men are made miserable with kidney and bladder trouble nnd both need the same remedy. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is the great dis covery of the eminent kidney ahd bladder specialist, and is easy to get at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar. To prove its wonderful merits you miy have a sample bottle and book telling all about it, both sent absolutely free by mail.
