Woodward, Portland,' Makes Scathing Attack )n the Methods Practiced by Rev. i Frank Sandford at Shiloh. Jedaros That They Are a Grest Menace lo the Christian World. Portland, Mi., Jan. 13.—Itev. K. P. Woodward, pastor of the Second Ad vent church, pleached, Sunday wiling, on "Sandfordism —an exposure of the claims, purposes, methods and probable future of Itev. K. \Y. Sandfor I, Sliiloh, Me.” Mr. Woodward proposes later to publish a phamphlet dealing with Sandfordism. The church was crowded and many Stood through the hour and a half Mr. Woodward was speaking. Just before he entered the pulpit lie was warned by a friend of Mr. Sandford not to speak against him. and was told that his hurcli might fall if he did. Mr. Woodward said that Mr. Sand ford does not teaeh immorality, hut a high order of life. Many of his teach ings are in accord with Bible doctrine, lie teaches the second coming of the Lord, hnt his highest announcement of th,. truth is obscured by his false doc trines. He is a menace to the Christian church and a detriment to religious life. He made the distinct charge thai Mr. Sandford exercises a hypnotic influence over many of his followers in some de gree or all. He makes his will the rule of their life and conduct, and even when they pass from his direct inltu enee they are still under his control, and whil,. they say to others. "Don't go there." they will seldom tell of their experience while at Shiloh. He described a scene he saw there. He said that there was in the face of every one the same dreamy, far-away look, and when the leader of the move ment crossed the platform, it changed to one of fear. It was evident ihut every one was thinking “The master is here." In his presence they did not venture to speak or to think freely. He said that a disciple of MV. Sand ford said to a man who spoke of going lo file temple. "Don’t do it. If Mr. Sandford hears you sing, you will never be able to leave. Had 1 not gone there I should have had it home, today now I am homeless." Mr. Woodward took up the special claims made by Mr. Sandford. First, that in erecting the buildings he has obeyed the command. “Owe no man anything." He asserted that at vari ous times the movement has been deep ly in debt, admitting that Mr. Sandford has asserted that in every case this was due to the failure of some one di vinely commanded to assist in the work. It is declared by Mr. Sandford and his followers that the movement has behind it the direct command of God. and that it is the only work on the globe having that authority and that it is the last manifestation of the work of God through his church. It is termed "The Church of the Liv ing God." It is claimed that the Holy Spirit is the director of the entire movement and that meeti' ,'s are held ns he directs. Mr. Woodward said: "The only sem blance of organization there has ever been left the individual member abso lutely helpless in the hands of a spirit inspired leader. The constitution is never to be altered, and Mi. Sandford is the absolute master of the situation as long as he lives.” He said that Mr. Sandford claims to have direct revelation from God in .lie form of spoken words. "He makes the astonishing assertion (Continued on page 2.)

No Congressional Action Till President De cides on the Appeal.

Washington, Jan. 13.—The Maryland delegation in Congress, including sena tors and representatives, today, con sidered the course to be pursued on the Schley case and reached a determina tion that, pending the decision of President Roosevelt on the appeal to be made by Admiral Schley to the Chief Executive, it would be inadvisable for the delegation to urge upon Congress any of the resolutions or bills intro duced. The various resolutions and bills now before Congess were gone over and it was the general sentiment of those present that the delegations would be favorable to any one of the measures which fully vindicated Admiral Schley. But for the present, in view of the ad miral's placing the matter before Pres ident Roosevelt, the delegation deemed it inexpedient to determine upon any particular measure, or to urge the mat ter before Congress. Annapolis. Md., Jan. 13.—in the House of Delegates, tonight, Delegate Broening, Rep., presented a memorial to Congress asking that body to adopt the report of Admiral Dewey in iho Schley court of inquiry as the verdict of Congress. Delegate Griffith, Rep., presented a joint resolution authorizing the governor to have executed bv i Maryland artist a bronze bust of Rear Admiral W. S. Schley to be placed in the State House at Annapolis. I 'Chicago, Jan. lit.—The Chicago Board of Trade, at its annual meeting, today, put the stamp of approval on Admiral Dewey's minority report in the Schley contro\ersy and as a representative body of Chicago business men, sent a memorial to Congress asking tfiat .he circumstances ami events that may throw light on tile situation l>e ex amined into. This action was not taken without much discus; ion and ob jections from several members, who expressed themselves satisfied with the report of the naval commission. Fol lowing is the resolution: Resolved, that we believe it is the duty of Congress t" review the records of the commission, to examine into the circumstances and events tending to throw light on the controversy and to announce judgment ns to who was in command al the battle of Santiago and as to the conduct of Commodore Schley on that occasion. "Resolved, that a copy of the resolu tions be forwarded to Admiral Schley and to the country's representatives and senators in Congress." Savannah. On.. Jan. I.",.—Admiral Scliley was informally entertained on the floor |of the Cotton exchange, today, for inon than an hour, lie was accompanied by Gen. W. W.

The fire was under control at 1.30 o'clock. Much of the Masonic paraphernalia in the hall was saved by the members of the order who came to the scene. The rcof of the building collapsed while they were at work and Albert Soule, 4.5 years old, a Mason, who was on the roof of the burning building when it fell, was carried d >wn and buried in the debris.

Impresses Judges in Cuban Postal Frauds Wi ll His Frankness. Havana. Jan. 13.—Cpon the resump tion of the hearings, this afternoon, of the charges growing out of the Cuban post office frauds Kates U. Ruthhonc was unexpectedly called by the govern enment. The court told Rathbone he had the right to refuse to testify if he so desired to which Itathb«nc replied that he was glad of this opportunity to testify, it was evident that Rathhune's frank and honest manner in answering questions impressed the court and the judges, who listened attentively to what he said, when, explaining tlie de tails of the working of the department of posts, Rathbone asked the privilege of making his statements more clear. The could questioned Rathbone -on eerning the appointments of Neely and Reeves. To this question. Rathbone replied that both men had been sent him by the department at Washington. Rathbone said that when Assistant Au ditor J. D. Lawshe turned over the of fice and the postal accounts, he highly recommended Reeves. Much time was taken up by discuss ing the qestion as to whether or not Rathbone had issued an order to .he effect that the Cuban postmasters rend er monthly accounts. It was due to the fact that the postmasters had not ren dered accounts that Reeves was en abled to issue many duplicate war rants. most of which Reeves now says Neely cashed and kept the money. Rathbone claims that orders for the Cuban postmasters tq render monthly accounts were issued June, 1SD9, and that these orders were in the form of recommendations from special agents that monthly accounts be carried. On these recommendations Rathbone says he wrote the word "ordered, signing his name below it. The government contends that the word "ordered' was not written on these recommendations when the ir regularities in the post office were dis covered. Rathbone produced letters written to his chief clerk in May 1900. calling the latter’s attention to the fact that the order for monthly inspection had not been carried out and asking an explanation. The official asked Rathbone if it was not his place to see that his orders were carried out, as well as to issue them. To this the latter replied .hat with all the details of the office it was impossible for him to see that every thing: was d«ne.

DOCTORS RECOMMEND POSTUfl. 57TH CONGRESS. Senator Hale Advocates the Department of Justice. Declares It Will Ultimately Be One of Largest in Government. Rixey. Virginia. Wants Soldiers Homes Opened to Ex-Confederates. Washington, Jan. 13.— In the Semite, today, Nelson of Minnesota, called up a bill providing for tile establishment of a department of commerce, lie ex plained the necessity which he said ex isted for the passage of such a meas ure. and was pliqjj with questions by several senators who said that suttl eent time had not been allowed for looking into the merits of the measure. Mr. Teller criticised that feature relat ing to the transfer of the geological .lUrvey, while Hale said that the hill provided for a department which ulti mately would be one of the largest in the government. The bill finally went over, subject to call by Nelson. The Senate was in executive session for tin hour and a half. Mason gave notice that, tomorrow, he would address the Senate in reference to Cuban customs duties, a bill and resolution relating to which were in troduced by him, today. A resolution by Hale providing for the printing of a number of copies of the report of the Schley court of Inquiry was referred to the committee on printing. On mo tion of Nelson the bill creating a de partment of commerce was taken up. Nelson took the floor and said that the agricultural interests of the coun try are very well taken earc of by the department of agriculture, but the other great industries are without any direct government guidance or assist ance. The necessity for a bureau of commerce had become more important and urgent every year. The great prob lem. he said, was to secure and hold greater and more extensive markets abroad. He argued that such a de partment would protect our laboring men Against improper immigration and bring them into closer relation and bet ter harmony with the employers of labor. It also would serve to remove the many elosings and drawbacks In all industrial developments. Teller said that while the bill might hove been reported at the last session this was the first time he had seen it. He thought some amendment should be made to it. He asked upon what theory the hill sought to transfer front the interior department the geological survey, etc. Nelson explained that the duties of the geological survey were principally the investigation of the mineral re sources of the United States, but that the bill did not change the scope of the bureau. Nelson paid a glowing tribute to Tel ler's ability as secretary of the interior, 'out Teller said he was more interested in a decent bill than in his own fame and that he would not consent to any provision for the establishment of a mining bureau which would take from the interior department any work in which it is now engaged. Hodge. Mass., said he did not think that consiflar reports, giving commer cial statistics, should be transferred from the state department. Hale and others said they desired time for further consideration and the bill went over. The Senate passed a resolution by Kean directing the secretary of the in terior to transmit to the Senate an ab stract of all reports, letters, clippings, endorsements, etc., showing the de mand for the topographic work of the United States geological survey. At 1.45 the Senate went into execu tive session and at 3.12 adjourned. IN THE HOUSE. Penslo* Bill Taken Up-Rixey Want* Soldiers Homes Opened to Ex-Conlederates.

Anti-British Cartoons in Certain German Newspapers Call Forth More or Less Wise De nunciation from London Times. Can it Be That Germany Is Purposely Irritating the Britons? l.ondon. Jan. 13.—A remarkable arti cle appears In today's Times under the caption of "Literature of German An glophobia,” recounting the character of the anti-Writl«h cartoons which have appeared in the German newspapers, which, the Times says, "in coarsenea*. obscenity and venom are without a. parallel In modern times." The wisdom of the publication of the article at this juncture is much ques tioned. The Star says: "The Times, today, of all days, be gins a series of articles on the offensive German caricatures. Every newspaper has long been aware of these carica tip-ex but th» responsible journals have not advertised these insults, simply be cause no good could be done by setting the British and German peoples by the curs. The Times ought to hesitate be fort it deliberately Hogs the passions of the people. Are our publicists mid? Gan they not see the abyss towards which they are hounding the long suf fering nation?” The Times article, which is two col umns long, says: “These papers are not gutter sheets but are sold everywhere, at the sta tions of the state railroads, even at Potsdam station, where the Emperor is constantly traveling. He was finally obliged to personally order their re moval. Neither are these papers anony mous. One of the most infamous of ab. entitled 'The Boer War.' bears on the title pages the names of persons dis tinguished in the literary and artistic world of Germany. From a purely technical standpoint, the paper is an art production, but it is difficult to find words to convey a notion of the filth which its cultured artists and writers venture to lay before its cultured Ger man readers. Biitish soldiers are rep resented as robbing the dead. Mr. Chamberlain's state coach is depicted as a cart laden with skeletons and King Edward is shown dead drunk in his bedroom, receiving the news of Cronje's surrender. "But the crowning piece is a cartoon entitled 'Hero Worship.' The then Princess of Wales. Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales standing with the young princesses by her side, Is deco rating a youthful soldier. The legend underneath reads textually: 'An Eng lish princess decorating the youngest soldier in the British army with the Victoria cross, because, although only 13. he has already outraged eight Boer women.’ "This obscenity, sold in respectable diops. was eagerly bought bv the pub ic and lies on fashionable drawing -ocm tables."

Called Curing Him, Suppressing the Local Expression of Catarrh with Astringents Is Not to Cure, but Only to Smother the Disease—It is Still in the Blood and Sooner or Later Will Reappear at the Old Point or Break Out Elsewhere, Perhaps Find Its Vent In a Mere Important and Less Accessible Spot, Which Will Add to the Distress or Danger from the Disease. A distinguished specialist in the treatment of catarrhal diseases, says: '•'Powders, lotions, salves, sprays and inhalers cannot really cure catarrh, because this disease is a blood disease, and local applications, if they accom plish anything at all, simply give tran sient relief. The catarrhal poison is in the blood and the mucous membrane of the nose, throat and bronchial tubes tries to re lieve the system by secreting large quantities of mucus, the discharge sometimes closing up the nostrils, dropping into the throat, causing deaf ness by closing the eustachian tubes, and after a time causing catarrh of the stomach or serious throat and lung troubles. A remedy to really cure catarrh must be an internal remedy which will cleanse the blood from catarrhal poi son and remove it from the system. When this is done the local expression of i atarrh in the mucous membrane will disappear." This is abundantly proven by the suc cess attending the use of Stuart's Ca tarrh Tablets. Taken internally and acting upon the constitution only through the blood they overcome the systemic predisposition to the disease and antidote or eliminate all catarrhal poison. They cure catarrh of one part as readily as of other parts, no mat ter where it lurks in the system they will cure it with edual ease and cer tainty. The catarrh: burdened sufferer has simply to take them and they will do the rest. While it might seem as catarrh af. fects the skin occasionally (eczema is catarrh in the skin) and the mucous membrane nearly always; that salves, sprays, washes, and other local appli cations, being applied direct to the ex act spot where the catarrh manifests itself, would be the most rational treat ment, yet this has been conclusively proven not to be so. The external or covering skin and tile mucous mem brane, which is a continuance of the same and but an internal or lining skin, are made and repaired from the blood, and catarrh is a blood disease mani festing itself in them, most frequently in the lining skin or mucous mem brane because it is of finer and more delicate texture and much easier af- footed. Thus it follows that any rem edy, to make a permanent cure must act on and through the blood, and when the blood is purified from catar- i rhal poison the affected skin or mucous membrane will become natural and i healthy. Remember always that catarrh Is much more than just an ailment of the nose. Catarrh is a systemic disease j perhaps oftener affecting the mucous membrane lining the nose than any other one '.place but frequently finding j vent elsewhere. Catarrh is the beginning of more dis eases than all other causes combined and is capable of attacking most fluids, tissues and organs of the body. This malady gets into the outside or cov ering skin and is known as eczema, which is the most frequent disease of the integument, over one-third of all cases of skin disease being eczema; it i gets into the nose causing a filthy and j offensive discharge from and frequent- I ly ulceration, rotting or decay of its tissues; it gets into the eyes and dim- j inishes their beauty and usefulness; infjo the throat and injures the voice, into the eustaehian tube and middle ear impairing hearing or causing "head noises;" into the stomach and produces dyspepsia: into the bowels when it is called diarrhea (usually chronic diar rhea); into the lymphatics and becomes scrofula; into the respiratory organs and causes bronchitis and consump tion; into the urinary organs and en tails Tlright’s disease and bladder troubles; into the pelvic organs of women and develops various annoying and distressing conditions generally re ferred to as "female weakness.” Catarrh of the outside skin or integu ment. of the eyes, ears, nose, throat, bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, stomach, bowels, kidneys, bladder and other or gans. is but a local manifestation of a lurking constitutional disease, hence the folly of attempting its cure with local applications alone that only sup press or smother it for a time. It needs searching systemic medication to effec tually eradicate this blighting taint from the' constitution. Purely local treatment will only suppress its out ward manifestation in one spot, drive it in to perhaps attack some more im portant and deeper seated structures. Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets are taken internally, they search out and elimi nate catarrhal poison wherever the blood goes and that means to ev ery nook anil corner of the body. This is how they have won their great rep utation for positive and permanent cures. This is why so many testify that they are cured so the disease does not come back after a time. A cure that is radical and lasting is the only real cure. It is easy to dry up or drive in and suppress catarrh at some local point, with drying or astringent appli cations, but this is only a miserable subterfuge, a makeshift that will soon be apparent when treatment is discon tinued. Not so with the radical consti tutional cure by the use of Stuart's Ca tarrh Tablets which, though not so rap id of action as are some suppressing measures, are lasting and satisfactory to the end. The catarrhal constitution once righted the first little cold does not bring about a return of the disease. The certainty and permanency of the cures accomplished by Stuart's Catarrh Tablets accounts for the fact that the multitude of people who have used them are so lavish in their praise. A leading druggist in Albany speak ing of catarrh cures, says: “I have sold various catarrh cares for years, but have never sold any which gave such general satisfaction as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. They contain in a pleasant concentrated form all the best and latest catarrh remedies, and ca tarrh sufferers who have used douches, sprays and salves, have been aston ished at the quick relief and permanent results obtained after a week's use of Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets.” If you love health, a sweet breath, and a clear head. If you wish to rid yourself of the systemic tendencies, as well as the disagreeable local manifes tations. of catarrh, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are your hope, and, if persis tently used for a reasonable time, will prove your redemption from this prev alent, loathsome and eventually dan gerous disease. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets can be bought at any drug store for 50 cents a box. CONDENSED DISPATCHES. Sampson’s lace factory, the largest on-' in Nottingham. Rnt-. has bean destroyed by lire.

Justice Lacomhe In the I'nited States olrcut court, Monday, at New York. d. nied a motion made for a writ of arrest against Henry H. Rogers, the president of the Amalgamated Copper Co. The ap plication was based on an alleged refusal by Mr. Rogers to obey a subpoena issued by Judge Cacombe. The proceedings grew out of an action commenced in the federal court of Massachusetts wherein J. Edward Addicks was plaintiff and the r.oston Gaslight Co. and Massachusetts Pipe l.ine Gas Co. were defendants. Former Deputs- Police Commissioner Devery was recognized ns a member of the police force of New York city, Mon day. by the members of the Police En dowment and Benevolent Association, who re-elected him president of the or ganization. The constitution of the or ganization states that no ex-member of the department may remain a member o: the association. Devery has an action pending in court demanding reinstate ment as chief of police on the ground that the law abolishing that office was unconstitutional. A deputation representing 34,000 cigna tortes to an address protesting against the sale of the Danish West Indies with out the question being previously referred to a plebiscite, was received by King Christian at Copenhagen, Monday. His Majesty replied as follows: “We thank vou for the interest you have displayed in this matter but we are unable, while diplomatic negotiations are pending, to express our views on the question. We beg vou will have, as we have ourselves, full confidence that our ministry will know how to safeguard the welfare of the islands and their people.” It is stated by one of the incorporators and trustees of the Carnegie Institute that no reason is perceived at present for any Congressional or governmental ac tion in connection with that educational scheme. As It stands, the institute is like any other private corporation. There fore. it is held, there can be no question as to the propriety of Its holding any class of securities whether steel bonds or I'nited States government bonds, as the basis of its endowment. This state ment is believed to indicate Mr. Carne gie's purpose is to place his bequest in the shape of i'nited States Steel securi ties as originally intended.

The order permitted Nina Belie Rice grand-niece of the deceased, to withdraw her opposition to the probate of the will of IS*, known as the Baker will, on receipt of 175,000. Reason for the supposed settl-ment was said to be found in the belief that the so-called Patrick will, which made the alleged murderer reslduart legatee, would fail and that the will of 1896 creating the Rice Institute In Texas would stand TO CURB A COLD IS ONE DAT Take Laxative All druggists re to cure.

And the seal of his apostleship was the rais ing of Miss Oliv^ Mills from the dead. Other ‘great things' he claims to have performed, including the restoration of sight to the blind and the casting out of devils.” Mr. Woodward said that Mr. Sand ford clearly declares that he is the last apostle of the dispensation, that he has at once Divine authority and infallibil ity. He quoted at length from the writ ings of Mr. Sandford and his followers to show that this claim has been made over and over again. Mr. Sandford is held up as the last Divinely commis sioned leader prior to the coming of Christ. Mr. Woodward said that those who do not accept this leadership, and ac knowledge this authority are threaten ed with the Divine wrath, for Mr. Sand ford himself said: “I tell you in these days if you love the truth you love Shiloh hill top,” and it was added that in the day of Judgment God will say to those who sneered at God’s appointed leader: "Depart ye cursed." And it was expressly said: “The dogs are do ing their last barking. Curs will soon be weeping and wailing and gnashing their teeth In hell.” He spoke of the uncertain nature of the teachings, and the many disap pointments of Mr. Sandford. He was told to take a party to Jerusalem, that the holy city might be rebuilt, but the party went no further than Liverpool. He said that Mr. Sandford preaches the duty of giving up all to God, and quoted from his published writings the statement that those who do not for sake their homes will be unable to use them. v\ ho will own the property In Dur ham?” he asked. He said that Mr. Sandford claims to have deed It back to God, but what will the courts say after his death? Taking up "Sandfordism,” he said that Mr. Sandford asserts, but does not prove, his astonishing claims. There is no loophole for escape or mistake in God's revelations, but Mr. Sandford has been many times mistaken, but new revelations have been received to explain away mistakes. He many times set a date for the completion of his buildings, but every time he made a mistake. He quoted from Mr. Sand ford the statement that he had many times looked up in the face of God, laughed and said: "Now, God, you know you don't mean that.” Mr. Woodward said that the claim made of his power to heal the sick has been disproved by the repeated death of patients, and asked if Christ, or Peter, or Paul would have made such a mistake. “He says he raised Miss Mills from the dead, but she herself said: ‘I don't know whether I went out of the body or not: I have no means of knowing.' How did Mr. Sandford know' that she was dead?” He claimed that she Vas in a state of collapse, and said that Mr. Sandford could get a real “seal” to his apostleship by raising any one of the actually dead ex-members of his society. Mr. Woodward said that Mr. Sand ford’s alleged transfer of the property to God "is in law’ absolutely worthless, and a legal absurdity. He could at will turn out every person there, and yet they are supposed to be co-workers. There is not even a church at Shiloh, and equity could not reach him.” He said that Mr. Sandford has a large bank accoiyit and instead of paying his bills with money sent him from day to day, pays in checks. In the event of his death that bank account would be a part of his estate. He said that Mr. Sandford claims that the property belongs to God and to the world, and yet there is a sign, “These are private grounds,” there, and asked: "Has God fenced off his possessions in this arbitrary way?” He declared that instead of never asking for funds, a begging letter was at least once sent out, making an ur gent appeal for money. Mr. Woodward w’cnt deeply into the history of the business transactions at Duiham to disprove the claim of Divine leadership and authority made regard ing the building of the temple. He said that "if Mr. Sandford and two follow ers landed in Kngland with only $2, he had his check book and his bank ac count to fall back on.” Mr. Woddward said that all through Sandfordism” runs the chain of delu sions. the hearing of voices, the receiv ing of Divine revelations, to be ex plained by medical experts in only one way, and that not in the way Mr. Sand ford himself receives them. The United States consul at New Chwang, Henry P. Miller, has replied to the Russian administrator's charge that sailors belonging to the United States gunboat Vicksburg shot a Russian sol dier during the recent disturbance at New Chwang, saying that he, the consul, and the commander of the Vicksburg. Com mander E. E. Barry, Investigated the af fair thoroughly and fouml there was no evidence whatever connecting Americans with the shooting. Mr. Conger, the United States minister at Pekin, received copies of the recent correspondence be tween Consul Miller and the Russian ad ministration of New Chwang. The consul complained repeatedly of the oppressive regulations and of the encroaching on the rights of foreigners. The week past was a busy one for ap ple shippers at Boston for the Liverpool steamers carried away 4136 barrels, the greatest number shipped from any Atlan tic port except Portland, which sent out 7730 barrels. This was a decided Increase over the export oL the port week of the year ending Jan. 1, which was but 1S95. and then the figure was In excess of the other United States ports. The shipments for the various ports were: Boston, 4136 bbls.: New York. 4016; Portland, 7730; an I Halifax, N. S-. 2637.

A message to General Manager Hitt of the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific at Chicago states that a passenger train ran into a construction train, Monday, at Okeene, Okla., kiillng two and Injuring eight persons. The passenger train ran into a siding on which the construction train was standing. A misplaced switch Is believed to have caused the passenger train to leave the main track Joe Walcott and Young Peter Jackson fought six rounds at the Penn A. C. at Philadelphia. Monday night, in' which Walcott had the better of it. Walcott was the aggressor and had the better of every round but the fifth. In this round Jackson went at Walcott furiously and compelled him to clinch to avoid punish ment. In the final round Walcott turned the tables on his adversary. At a meeting of the rablnet, at Ot tawa, Ont., Monday. It was decided to summon Parliament to meet, Feb. 13, for the dispatch of business. 57th CONGRESS. (Continued from pare 1.) *E>0 to *75 a month was also decreasing. In reply to another question he stated that the commissioner of pensions be lieved that the high tide of pension payments had been reached and the amount required probably would re main stationary for some years. Bell, Col., denounced the practices of the "pension sharks.” He declared that they were importuning soldiers of the Spanish war and those had since served in the Philippines to apply for pensions. He said that in some cases soldiers who were thoroughly examin ed at the time of their discharge and found to be perfectly sound yielded to these importunities and applied for pensions within a month after their discharge. As against the soldier in the Civ'il War who had applied for a pension until recent years he thought the present commissioner was too strict but in the matter of ferreting out a fraud he thought Commissioner Kvans has been unexcelled by any of his predecessors. Grosvenor, Ohio, assailed the report of a committee of the G. A. R., made to the Grand Army encampment at Cleveland, last summer. The report placed at the door of certain members of the House and Senate (among them himself) the failure to pass what was known as the “Preference” pension bill. Grosvenor characterized the report as "unjust, unfair and untruthful." Grosve nor said that during his long service in the House he always had supported cordially every general and special bill for the benefit of his comrades in arms. The objection to the bill he said, was that it contained a provision which would have given preference over the old soldiers of the Rebellion to 250,000 men who enlisted in the Spanish American war. He did not think the provision just and explained why he could not support it in the shape in which it appeared before the House. Talbert, S. C., delivered a general speech on the subject of pensions to show the growing extravagance and fraud of the present system. He thought the practice of passing spec ial pension bills should be abandoned Hepburn, la., again brought up the report made to the G. A. R. encamp ment in criticisim of members of Con gress who voted against the veteran "preference” bill. He said he had voted against the bill and pointed out that the bill, as endorsed by the G. A. It., and as originally introduced, did not contain the provision giving prefer ence to veterans of he Spanish war. Some of the veterans of the Spanish war, he said, were as much entitled to be in the preferential class as the vet erans of the Civil War, but the vast majority of the 270,000 Spanish volun cers had not heard a hostile gun fired, and he was unwilling that they should be placed in a preferential class, from which the civil service would be re cruited for the next 25 years. Bromwell, Ohio, explained that the bill as introduced did not contain the provision relative to the Spanish war veterans. Against the protest of a minority of the committee, the pro vision was inserted and the bill then came before the House under suspen sion of the rules, no opportunity being given for amendment. He expressed the hope that the bill would be re-intro duced and passed. Rixey, Va., submitted an argument in favor of a bill introduced by him, today, to admit Confederate veterans to Na tional Soldiers Homes and to extend the same national aid to State Confed erate Homes in the South as was ac corded State Union Homes. The re strictions against ex-Confederates par ticipating in the government and against ex-Confedcrates holding com missions in the army or navy having been removed he argued that the Sol diers Homes barrier which stands across the path of ex-Confederate sol diers also should be removed. Rich ardson, Tenn., the Democratic leader, interposed to declare that never would he be willing to see ex-Confederates en ter Union Homes. The debate grew lively, differences of opinion developing on the Democratic side. Richardson, Ala., sided with Rixey, while Lamb, Va., Bartlett, Ga., and others opposed the suggestion. Gaines, Tenn., secured the floor and talked for some time about the result of his recent observations in the Philip pines. Lever, S. C., then formally an nounced the death of the late Repre sentative Stokes of his state, which oc curred last summer and. after adopt in the customary resolutions of regret, at 4.55 P. M. as a further mark of re spect, the House adjourned. INCREASE IN POPULATION. For the First Timo South Gains a Bit Faster Than the North. Washington. Jan. 13.—The director of the census announced, today, the per centage of Increase of population In different parti of the country, showing for the last decade a rapid decrease fram previous rate of growth of popu lation in the West, a less marked, but decided decrease in the North, and a slight Increase in the South. For the first time in the history of this country the population of the South has in creased somewhat more rapidly than that of the North. The East, geograph ically, is included in the term North. The rate of growth in the North, West and South is far more nearly the same than it has ever been. The official an nouncement divides the country as fol lows West, from the Pacific to the east ern boundary of Montana, Wyoming. Colorado and New Mexico; North and South, the respective sides of a line formed by the Potomac and Ohio rivers and the southern boundaries of Mis souri and Kansas. The percentage of increase from 1SG0 to 1880 was 61.S in the North; 48.4 in the South; and 185.6 in the West; while in the last 20 years, 1880-1900, it was 48.7 in the North; 48.5 South; and 131.5 West. Prior to the Civil war the Northern states nearly doubled in population with each 20 years, while In the South ern states the increase of population was only about two-thirds as great. Since 1860 the rate of growth in both parts of the country has been much less, but, while the rate of growth in the North has decreased steadily, that in the South during the 20 years from 1360 to 1880 has been slightly less. Dur ing the last 20 years there has been no substantial difference in the rate of growth of the two sections. Miss Sophie Bonham, Vice-president Chicago Pros and Cons Club, Tells How She Escaped a Fearful Operation for Womb Trouble, by Taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “Dear Mrs. Pixkiiam I feel that words are but feeble to express a heart’s gratitude, when there is so much to be thankful for as I have. I suffered with womb trouble for five years, and our family physician said an operation was needed; but I dreaded it, and reading of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound one day I decided to give it a trial first. To my great joy I found that after four months’ treatment I was strong and well; I experienced no pain or trouble, and the Compound built up myr entire system. I shall always bless the day I started to take your medicine; it proved my greatest good.” Miss Sophie Bonham, 281 Oak St., Chicago, 111. $5000 FORFEIT IF THE ABOVE LETTER IS Nt)T GENUINE.

REMARKABLE CURE OF CROUP. A Little Bey’e Life Saved. I have a few words to say regarding Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. It saved my little boy's life and I feel that I cannot praise it enough. I bought a bottle of It from A. E. Steere of Goodwin, S. D., and when I got home with it the poor baby could hard ly breathe. I gave the medicine as directed every ten minutes until he "threw up’’ and then I thought sure he was going to choke to death. We had to pull the phlegm out of his mouth In great long strings. I am positive that If I had not got that bot tle of cou ;b medicine, my boy would not be 'r a;th today.—Joel Demont, In wood l"«va. For sale by John Coughlin. 177 Water street; J. C. Houleh n.
