Represcntn Uve Mnrtln of Colorado Introduced a resolution to Investigate the sale of one of the Philippine friar estates to Frank W. Carpenter, the executive1 secrctnry of the Philippine govern ment, and the lease of 3,000 acres of public domain to E. L. Worcester, who is the nephew of the Philippine secre tary of the Interior, Dean C. Worccs ter. The sale and lease wore mnde by thi department of public lands and up proved by the secretary of the Interior I Mr. Martin charges In his resolutloti that these transaction "are so citini nally corrupt and Immoral as to con stitute mnlft';isiii:ce in ullleu upon the part of the utllit:ils Involved." Mr. Martin said: "The sale of the Tala friar estate to the executive sec retary of the Philippines government is the caishoaf of olllclnl turpitude down to date. "In the report Just received the sale of the Tala estate to Carpenter Is spo ken of as a lease, the lessee binding himself to rent nil the vacant lnnd on tho Tnla estate and all lands now oc cupied which may become vacant. The fact Is, as shown by another report In my possession, that this was a progres sive sale of the entire estate. Carpen ter gets the land as fast as the tennnts aro dispossessed. They will go as fast as he wants to take It over. Further- At this season of tho year many housewives have much trouble with the nnts, and It Is hardly possible to And a place for the various foods, etc., where these small pests will not find and reach them. The very simple de vice shown In the above Illustration will fool them every time. Shelves are hung In the cellar or where want ed with wire or small rope, and small blocks of wood have holes bored through them and then slipped over the wire, as shown. These are covered with sirup or any sticky substance that will not run nnd drop In tho food, and the ant never gets any farther than the sirup. Axle grease answers very well if the odor is not too strong. Be sure the block Is well smeared and that tho hole Is not so largo that tho ants may get through. CONGRESSMAN MARTIN. more, until such time as the flnnl cn tlflcate of sale Is executed Carpentei pays only 0 cents per acre per aiinun on uncultivated land and only 30 cents' per acre per annum on land which pays him a net profit fixed In the con tract of sale, while the native tenants pay $1.17 per acre, hit or miss. "How does that strike you for i cinch?" Care of Sewing Machine. About once a month oil the machine thoroughly with kerosene oil, treadle wheels and every Joint; remove the sewing cotton and run the machine quickly for two or three minutes, then wipe off nil oil and dust; next oil Just as thoroughly with tho best machine oil and again wipe well to remove ex cess of oil. It Is a good plan to place a piece of absorbent cotton around the ueedlo bar so that oil will not ruu down the needle to tho sewing. A thickly folded newspaper placed under tho treadles will prevent oil dripping on the floor. A few drops of oil should bo used ench day. BREAKS ALTITUDE RECORDS.

He suld that Brooklns had his first experience three months ago as n pi lot, but he made only n few flights before coming here. Brooklns established two other rec ords.

Lam bert of St. Louis, olllclnl timekeeper. Brooklns was 1,000 feet in the nlr seven minutes nfter he left the earth. Ho rose to that point in a wide circle. The whirr of the propellers was then lost to the throng of spectators nnd the neroplnne nppeared only n cross floating In the sky. Continuing his circles Brooklns rose steadily nt a speed estimated at sixty miles nn hour. Thirty minutes after ho had started he had reached his highest altitude and began the descent, maneuvering nt lower and lower lev els until nt a height of 100 feet he shut off the motor nnd glided easily to the ground alongside the starting all. The Wright brothers and the othe aviators gathered around Brooklns, cheering with the spectators as he stepped out of the machine. PKOFJESSIONAL. GAUDS. Attorncva-nt-Lnw. H WILSON, .

The Iowa senator tool; the floor to discuss tho provision ot tho sundry civil bill appropriating $250,000 for the investigation of the tariff by a commission, but he confined himself largely to the rclutlons of the Insurgents to the Republican party. Declaring that ho Is a disciple of par ty harmony and good will, Senatoi Dolliver said ho was unable to compre hend the bitterness with which men In the Republican party have been re vlled for tho views they entertain. "Why should I bo reviled," ho asked, "for opposing the wool schedule, which was framed forty-two years ago and opposed by party leaders at tin time? It appears thnt there Is no Ion ger the freedom of opinion nnd Judg-' ment in the Republican party thai mado It so strong and powerful." Referring to Speaker Cannon, tin Iowa senator said: "In speaking of h colleagues that honorable gentleman says they ought to be hanged. I pay no more attention to what ho say than do most people. But unfortu nately thero aro some people who take him seriously. "What has como over the Republican purty," nsked the Iowa senator, "that freedom of discussion and debate are now considered Insolence?" Senator Dolliver said It was disagree able for him to tell of the things that had (rone on In tho party since the passogo of tho tariff bill, but ho said that his remarks would not be neces tary hud the president loft senators and members free to settlo their differ duces with their constituents. He eon sured Mr. Tuft for using his great of fice to take the side of tho regulars. Senator Dolliver characterized the etatoment that tho tariff hud been re vised downward aB n "gigantic swin dle," the statement of what purported to be decreases as a "subtorfugo" and declared with au lronlcul smile that tho two greatest achievements of 100U waro tho dlscovory of tho north polo by Dr. Cook and the revision of tho lailff downward by Nelson W.
