When we commenced with the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs wer? covered with uniung sores, in aoout o six weeks we bad her completely well, and p there has been no recurrence of thj 5 trouble. t "In July of this year a little boy in our family poisoned his hands and arms with poison oak, and in twenty-four hours his bands and arms were a mass of torturing 1 sores. We used only the Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands and arras with the Cuticura Soap, and anointing them v with the Cuticura Ointment, and then n gave him the Cuticura Resolvent, in 0 about three weeks his hands and arms healed up. So we have lets of cause for feoling grateful for the Cuticura Remedies. We find that the Cuticura Remedies are c a valuable household standby, living as we do twelve miles from a doctor.

At a dinner on the last anniversary if President Lincoln's birthday, Gen>ral 0. 0. Howard related the followng: One day Mr. Lincoln saw Senaor Fessenden coming toward his ofice room. Mr. Fessenden had revived the promise of some appointnent in Maine for one of his consrti;uents. The case had been overooked. As soon as Mr. Lincoln :aught sight of the Senator he saw hat he was angry, and as he apjroached his door he called out: 'Say, Fessenden, aren't you an Episopalian?" Mr. Fessendeu, taken iback by the question, answered: 'Yes, I belong to that persuasion." Jr. Lincoln then said: "I thought so; 1_ ou swear so muca n&e oenam. ieward is an Episcopalian. But you iught to hear Stanton swear. He can eat you both. He is a Presbyteran." By this time Fessenden was in learty good humor, and the Presiient, sending for the papers, settled he case to the Senator's satlsfacion. General Wilson, at the s^ime diner, told of Lincoln's comment on a ispatch stating that a brigadier-genral and several hundred mules had een captured by the Confederates, [e quoted Lincoln as saying: "I don't are so much for the brigadier-genral. I can make brigadier-generals, ut mules cost money."

D. C.?Tf anv Congress in the history of the Government ever had a more picturesque wind-up that the Fifty-ninth, it is not remerabeved by the legislative veterans, or by the oldest inhabitants of Washington. There always have been happy speeches and songs, and other things, which have come to be taken as a matter of course, but on this occasion, .lust as the members of the House rose in their places to sing, under the leadership of Renresentative Watson, of Indiana, the Republican whip, "My Country, 'Tis of'Thee," every man pulled a good-sized American flag from under his desk, unfurled it, and waved it over his head. And as very few of the 3SG Representatives in Congress were absent, the result was picturesque and beautiful. As a result of strenuous work, business was in pretty good shape. Consequently there was plenty of time for the usual formalities and unusual informalities of the closing hours of the session and of the Congress. In the lobby of the House there was on view a massive mahogany chest containing an elaborate silver table service of over 300 pieces, the parting gift of the members of the House in the Fifty-ninth Congress to "The Sage of Athens, the Ohio political wheelhorse,"* General Grosvenor. The Senate, in the closing hours of the Fifty-ninth Congress, was the centre of interest for hundreds of persons, who filled every available inch of space in the galleries and overflowed all the corridors. The attendance of Senators on the floor represented about two-thirds the membership of the upper House. President Roosevelt's arrival at the Senate wing was indicated when the sergeant-at-arms summoned the VicePresident from the rostrum,"as the hands of the clock touched eleven. At the same time, the President's daughter, Mrs. Longworth, came into the President's pew in the reserved gallery. Many Representatives came over from the House to look after pet measures. They, too, sought Mr. Spooner, to tell him how sorrow they were that he is to quit public life. The occasion was not without its pathetic features. For example, Senator Berry, the one-legged Confederate who, for twenty years, has represented Arkansas, was kept busy telling his associates "Goodby." He yields to Jeff Davis. Others who were enjoying their last hours of legislative experience were Mr. Millard, the Omaha banker; Mr. Dryden, of New Jersey; Mr. Allee, of Delaware, and Mr. Mulkey, the Oregon bachelor who enjoyed the novel distinction of a month's service. On the Democratic side the outgoing Senators, besides Mr. Berry, of Arkansas, were Mr. Dubois, "of Idaho; Mr. Patterson, the Denver editor, who gives way to Mr. Guggenheim, of the smelter trust, and Mr. Carmack, from Tennessee, who yields his seat to Fiddling Bob Taylor. At 12.05 o'clock the committee appointed to wait on the President reported that the President had no further communications to make to the Senate. Then Mr. Blackburn, the Democratic leader, made a little speech complimentary to Vice-President Fairbanks and offered a resolution thankfng the Vice-President for the impartial and fair manner in which he had presided over the upper house. Senator Frye, president pro tem., took the chair and declared the resolution carried unanimously. A minute after he did so the1 tall form of Mr. Fairbanks ascended the rostrum. In measured terms he delivered a brief speech and then de ciarea tne senate aajournea. In the upper house Senator Allison and in the lower Representative Tawney, of Minnesota, as chairmen of the respective committees on appropriations, made financial announcements concerning the final session. It wsj shown that, instead of facing a deficit in the Treasury at the close of the fiscal year of 1908, as once seemed imminent, there would be a surplus of $20,000,000 at that time. The total appropriations at the present session of Congress aggregated apparently $919,948,679.63. Vnir nminewirt's flnVPmOP Dpad.

Enemies Rack of Suit, Eolief of th Founder of Christian ScienceChurch Funds $12,000,000. I concord, N. I-I.?Christian Sclen tlsts were startled by a statemen coming from personal counsel fo Mrs. Mary Eaker G. Eddy in whicl it was declared that the suit insti tuted against the managers of he property by her son, George W. Glc ver, and other relatives is an act o persecution. Tha imprpssion was also give that Glover is insnired in the nrc ceedings by enemies of Christia Science, who have a large amount o wealth behind them. Another surprising declaratio was that just before the suit wa filed by Rev. Irving C. Tnmlinson. member of t'he Board of T.ectureshi of the Christian Science Church, wa sent to find Glover, and that he car ried with him a sum estimated at be tween $100,000 and $250,000, whic' was to have been given to Glove provided he agreed to drop his pro ceedings. Before he was found wori that the suit, had been filed was re ceived and the offer was withdrawn, ' Here is the statement in behalf o [ Mrs. Eddv. which was given out b; ' Frank S. Slreeter. her attorney: | "Early Saturday morning I sen ; to Mrs. Eddy a cony of the bill ii | equity as published, but. not ye ' served upon any of the defendant ; so far as I am Informed. I hav : since had a long nersonal conference ; with her, at which this proceedin; ; and matters connected therewitl were fully discussed. In commoi 1 with her friends, she believes tha the initiative in those proceeding was not taken by her son or othe relatives, but by others, who, in i markedly unusual manner and b; unique methods, are undertaking under the guise of court proceedings to continue the persecution begui ' some time ago. "From my conference with her a this time and on other recent occa , sions, I am able to speak definitel: and positively. Her clearness o mind and resolution of purpose havi been in no respect impaired by he | advanced years. Her capacity t< 1 think clearly and to deal accuratel; and justly with important busines affairs has never been more perfect ly demonstrated than in her confer ences and acts within the last twi weeks and in numerous business let ters in her own handwriting which have received from her during tha time. "The amount of Mrs. Eddy's prop erty has been grossly multiplied b; rumor and unfounded reports. Sh< is not possessed of large wealth, a: the term is used. Mrs. Eddy receive no income from the church nor fron the publication society connecte( with the church. Her sole incom< for many years has been from th< copyrights on her own books, ant the amount from this source ha; been grossly overestimated. "Mrs. Eddy's business affairs hav< been managed by herself with th< aid of Mr. Frye, her devoted and loya servant, and under the oversight anc personal audit of another gentleman whose name has not been mentioned but who stands for all that is honor able and of good repute in financia circles in Concord. "Accurate accounts of all her prop erty and investments as well as of hei annual income and expenditures hav< been carefully kept and frequentlj audited." Details in regard to the $250,00( offer show that it was intended thai this sum should be invested as a trusl fund, the income to be paid to Mr Glover during his life, and after his decease in equal 3hares to his foui children?three sons and one daugh ter. In consideration of this gifl Glover and his heirs were asked tc agree to three stipulations: First, That they would make nc further demands upon Mrs. Eddy of any kind; Second, that they would make nc objection to the probate of any will Mrs. Eddy might leave; .Third, that they would take nc steps to test the legality of any gift, deed or conveyance Mrs. Eddy might make or might have made during her life. Boston.?Alfred Farlow, the recognized spokesman of the Christian Science Church, said that Stephen A. Chase, of Fall River, treasurer of the Christian Science Church, unbonded, has custody of between $12,000,000 and $13,000,000 church funds. When questioned concerning Mrs. Eddy's wealth various leaders ia the Christian Science Church gave out estimates. Alfred Farlow said her estate was about $150,000. Editor Mc Leman, of the Christian Science Monthly, said that $1,000,000 was a fair estimate of Mrs. Eddy's property. Fred N. Ladd, treasurer of the Loan and Trust Savings Bank, of Concord, and Mrs. Eddy's personal auditor, asserted that the famous founder had less than $300,000. Harriman Makes Promises. E. H.

Bloomiugton, 111. ? Enraged b> rand Jury proceedings to punish im for mistreating his fourteenear-old niece, Thomas Baldwin, a ealthy farmer, siity-eight years old, jcently made a widower, began a impaiga of vengeance, and when he ancluded four persons had been mur-j, ered, including the little girl whom" e bad so outrageously wronged. 1 The child, Cora Eiseman. was his ist victim and his murder of her was lost cruel. She had just seen her lother shot to death and was strivig to escape by crawling through a lorny hedge when Baldwin ran up ad shot her to death. Baldwin resides near Colfax and ; one of the best known men in the Dunty. He was one of the leading lerchants of the town until he rered to live on his farm. His large iterests in various enterprises made im. of importance commercially, and e was one of the most conspicuous lurch members in the place. Last October his wife died and he ;emed to mourn her deeply. His llte niece. Cora Eiseman, lived with er mother and sister about three liles northeast of Arrowsmith, ten liles from Baldwin's home. He went lere a week after his wife's death ad persuaded Mrs. Simeon Eissman ) let Cora live with him, saying he ould take the best of care of hrr nd provide liberally for her in his ill. Soon after the girl became an imate of his home he mistreated her a a lonely country road between Colix and Arrowsmith. The girl told 1 er mother, and Mrs. Eiseman, being yerse to the notoriety which would ttend prosecution, refrained from taking formal complaint. Baldwin t the meantime gave her $600 in setement. Baldwin then supposed the matter -, ad been finally disposed of, hut the ews of his offense was carried to tate's Attorney W. R.
