V v ' V V fifty-fifth congress, l'roceedJnes of Both the Senate and House Day By Day. THE SENATE. GOth Day.?During its session of i three hours, the Senate i>assed a considerable number of bills from the general calendar, among the number one authorizing the construction of eight new revenue cutters not exceed, ing an^rgregate of ?1,025,000. A resolntiiM^ffered by Chandler, of New Hamptdi^^ authorizing the committee on n&valffflairs to send for persons and j ? papers in the course of the investiga- j ^ tion t>HJie Maine disaster was adopted. Among other bills passed were: To increase the?pension of Mrs. Letitia Tyler Semple, a daughter of President John Tyler, to $50 a month. C 1st I)at.?After the passage of numerous bills from the calendar, the Senate began the consideration of ! the measure providing for a national system of quarantine. Lit tie beyond the reading of the bill was accomplished. Some desultory discussion occurred on an amendment, but no progress was made on the general bill. Among the bills passed were the following: To authorize the Pensacola, Alabama and Tennessee Bailroad company to erect a bridge across the Alabama river in Wilcox county, Ala.; to establish a light house at the Pitch of the Cai>e Fear rivor, near Wil- t miugton, X. C., at a cost not to exceed . $70,000; to extend the uses of the mail j aervice, the plan being to adopt the re- , turn postal card of the United States XiOonomic company. 62d Day.? Business in the legislative session of the Senate was confined to the passage of a few bills largely of a local character. The nation quarantine bill was not considered. Wheu the Senate convened Davis, of Minnesota, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, reported a resolution to provide for annexing the Hawaiian island to the United States. The resolution was read by the title only, and placed on the calendar. 6Jfr> Day.?In the Senate, Mallory, of Florida, delivered an extended speech in opposition to tho national quarantine bill. He held strongly that the national government ought not to trench upon the limits of the constitution by invading the rights of the States to establish their ownvquaran- ! tine regulations. He advocated ; strengthening the national maritime j quarantine. Bacon, of Georgia, r?guitained that the matter of quarantuH^ was not a sectional question, all parts of the United States being liable to epidemics. "I favor, " said he, "all the aid the government can give in the prevention of epidemics and the stamping out of disease, but I do not favor a regulation which will deny a State or oommnuity the right to protect itself by quarantine regulations. Previous to this, Mr. Butler, of North Carolina, made a few remarks in denunciation of the Torrey bankruptcy measure. At 4:50, on motion of Frye, of Maine, the Senate went into executive session, and at 5 o'clock p. m. adjourned until Monday. THE HOUSE. ^ 66th Day. ?This being the second Monday of the month, it was given over, under the rules, to the considerstion of business relating to the District of Columbia. The District business was concluded at 4:35 p. m. A few Senv.-n _ j 1 _* it _>.) 1. ai? utiis were j'ttbt-eu uuu at <j u ciuik the Hoase adjourned. . 67 th Day.?The House agreed to consider the bill for the relief of the legal heirs of the Maine disaster, as soon as the postoffice appropriation bill, which was taken up in the Honse, is out of the way. During the general debate on the postoffice bill, members eager.'y took advantage of the latitude allowed in committee of the whole on the s ite of the Union to discuss various political questions and the debate accordingly covered a wide range. 08th Dat. ?The rum or that the President dixed a day for Congress to adjourn hasn't any foundation, as he has not decided to fix a date for adjournment by a certain day. The postoffice appropriation bill, which was technically the subject before the House, was*almost lost track of in the debate as on yesterday numerous topics were discussed, but for the first time the Cuban-Spanish question, which had been kept in the back ground heretofore, forged to the front. The subject otRawaiian annexation also camo in for much attention today. 69th Day.?No political questions discussed in the House. The "'whole session was devoted strictly to the nostoffice appropriation bill, which was taken up for amendment under the five minute rule. The question which consumed the major portion of the time related to the allowance of clerk hire at postoflices and to rural free delivery. The House increased the allowance for rural free delivery from 8150,000 to $300,000 and defeated the proposition for increased clerk hire. The amendment to increase the appropriation for rural delivery was offered by Stokes, Democrat 70th Day.?The House spent another day on the postoffice appropriation bill, but only disposed of two pages of it Most of the day was devoted to a debate Ion the merits of the pneumatic tube mail service in New York, Boston and Philadelphia, and the advisability of continuing the existing contracts. An effort to strike out the appropriation of 8225,000 was defeated, but the opponents of the apropriation succeeded in securing an amendment providing that no additional contracts should be made. An amendment was adopted making it ! a misdemeanoufor any person to "pad" the mails during the period when they > are being weighed to determine the compensation to be paid to the railroads for their transportation. The amendment was recommended by the Department. The conference report on the agricultural appropriation bill was agreed to. 71st Day.?The House passed the postoffice appropriation bill, which has been under discussion for three days. The main points of attack were the appropriations of $30,000,000 for railroad transportation of mails, and $171,000 Uor special facilities bfetween New York wnd New Orleans,.and $25,000 for special facilities from Kansas City to Newton, Kansas. These items annually attract more or less of a contest. This year the opposition# seemed to be less intent. All efforts to reduce the appropriation for railroad transportaion signally failed and the vote on the Southern mail subsidy was 77 to 93 agaiust striking out 1 I ? ? Woman's Fate. From the Becord, But knell. Til. ?Co woman is better able to speak to other* regarding "woman's fate'' than Mrs. Jacob Weaver, of Bushnell, 111., wifi of ex-City Marshal Weaver. She had entirely recovered from the illness which kept her bedfast much of the time for five or six years past, and says her recovery is due to that well-known "reined v, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs. Weaver is fifty-six years old, tnd has lived in Bnshuell nearly thirty years. She is of unquestionable veracity and unblemished reputation. The story of her recovery is interesting. She says: "I suffered for five or six years with the trouble that comes to women at this time of my life. I was much weakened, was unable much of the time to do my own work, and suffored beyond my power to describe. I was downhearted and melancholy. "I took many different medicines, in fact, I took mediciue ail the time, but nothiug seemed to do me any good. "I read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and some of mv friends recommended them highly. I made up my Mrs. Jacob Wearer, pjnsf ^ "I have recommendod the pills to many women who are suffering as I suffered. They are the only thing that helped me in the trial that comes to so many women at my age." Mas. J. H. Wuvsc. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 23d day of October, A. D. 1897. t 0. C. Hicks, Notary Public. When woman is passing beyond the ago of motherhood, it is a crisis in her life. Then, if ever, proper attention to hygiene should be exercised. The attendant sufferings will disappear and buoyant health will follow if Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are used. These pills exert a powerful Influence in restoring the system to its proper condition. They contain in a condensed form all the elements necessary to give now life and \.\ x.. i " iv tuu vivu\t. The mac who shovels enow never enjroaebes on his neighbor's premises. DT?rrr*ii.

In the absence of a family. says Spare Moments, the private grounds of a certain Scottish lord were often used by the natives of the two neighboring tillages, as thereby a saving of fully a mile was effected. Occasionally, too, when his lordsldp was at home, attempts were made to *run the blockade," for, whenever any trespasser was caught by his lordship he hud i.o ?.'?ey the command to "go back the way he had come." A local hawker, when cautiously wheeling his barrow along the forbid- I Jen path one day, happened to see his ' lordship before the latter saw him, and roolly turning the barrow round sat down with his back to the dreaded laird, who. coming up. gave him a severe reprimand and then ordered hl:n fo "wheel al>out and go back by toe road by which he had come."
