Charles Bierbacb, stoue contractor,
living at 2025 Chestnut St.. Erie, Pa.,
says: "For two
years I had kidney
trouble, and there
was such a severe
pain through my
loins and limbs
that I could not
stoop or straighten
up without great
pain, had difficulty
in getting about
and was unable to
rest at night, aris
ing in the morning

The kidney secre
tions were irregu
lar and deposited
a heavy sediment. Doctors treated me
: for rheumatism, but failed to help me.
: I lost all conlldence lu medicine, and
[began to feel as if life were not worth
j living. Doan's Kidney Pills, however,
relieved me so quickly and so thorough
? ly that I gladly made a statement to
that effect for publication. This was
in 1898. and during the six years which
have elapsed I have never known
Doan's Kidney Pills to fail. They
cured my wife of a severe case of back
ache in the same thorough manner."

prominent club woman, Mrs. Dan
forth, of St. Joseph, Mich., tells how she
was cured of falling of the womb and
its accompanying pains and misery by
Lydia E* Pinkham's Vegetable Compound*
"DEAR, MRS. PINKHAM :-Life looks dark indeed "when a woman
feels that her streugth is fading away and she has no hopes of ever
being restored. Such was my feeling a few months ago when I was
advised that my poor health was caused by prolapsus or falling of the
-womb. The words sounded like a knell to me, I felt that- my sun had
set; but Lydia E. Pinkhani's Vegetable Compound came to as
an elixir of life ; it restored the lost forces and built me up UL my
good health, returned to me. For foui* months I took the nr .ne
daily and each dose added health and strength. I am so than1* for
the help I obtained through its use."-WES. FLORENCE DAIN*ORTH,
1007 Mles Ave., St. Joseph, Mich.
A medicine that has restored so many women to health and
can produce proof of the fact must he regarded with respect. This
is the record of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta hie Compound, which
cannot he equalled by any other medicine the world has ever pro
duced. Here is another case :
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM :- For years I was
troubled with falling of the womb, irregular
and painful menstruation, leueorrhcea, bearing
down pains, backache, headache, dizzy and
fainting spells, and stomach trouble.
441 doctored for about five years but did
r not seem to improve. I began the usc of your
'medicine, and have taken seven bottles of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
three of Blood Purifier, and also used the
Sanative Wash and Liver Pills, and am now
enjoying good health, and have gained in flesh.
I thank you very much for what you
have done for me, and heartily recom
mend your medicine to all suffering
women!'*-Mis? EMMA SNYDER, 218 East

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS
Gorman Use? Plain Language About
The Administration.
Senate?
The Senate Wednesday began conside
ration of the postoffice appropriation
bill and lt waa the signal for a revival
of the Democratic demand for an in
vestigation into the charges of corrup
tion in the Postoffice Department.
The debate was initiated by Mr- Gor
man, who spoke for almost two hours
in criticism of the course of the Re
publican party in the Senate In refus
ing an inquiry. Mr. Gorman referred to
the hasty consideration and report of
the bill and asserted that there had
been persistent denial of the investi
gation of the affairs of the Postoffice
Department. He urged that it was not
yet too late to take steps to prevent
"further robbery" and thievery in the
Department.
"It is said," he weat un. "that Con
gress must adjourn speedily; that from
one source a request amounting to or
ders has gone out; that lt is inconven
ient for one branch of tho government
to have Congress on its bands; that
if there is delay there are likely to lie
disagreeable inferences from what has
already been developed.
"We have reached" a rime when Hiera
is much preaching of honesty and high
mindedness, but corruption bubbles
out It came like a fog. and has not yet
lifted and we cannot tell whether ali
the information is yet out."
Mr. Gorman referred to the chargea
made by the Postoffice Department,
saying he believed they had been made
for the purpose of diverting attention
from the guilty ones who had filched
money from the Treasury and abused
their trusts. As for himself he was of
the opinion that, the members had net
gone more in the matter than their
public ant's* required. Mr. Gorman
called attention to the habit of criti
cising men engaged lu executive work
and he concluded that tliis criticism
grew out of a well-directed effort to
build up a one-man, Czar-like govern
ment.
"So far, indeed, had this plan pro
gressed that legislation has come to
be practically a farce, all important,
measures being dictated by the execu
tive. It was coming to be that only an
executive order was necessary lo get
an appropriation. The result is that
Congress becomes a mere recording
body.
"We are told." he continued, "that
having approved the plans of the ex
ecutive we must adjourn and go home
because of the fear of damaging dis
closures! The "fear is so great that we
are to be sent away and not to be al
lowed to do anything."
He then referred to some of the
pending legislation and included iii the
list Mr. Foraker's bill for the amend
ment to the anti-trust law regard
ing transportation. He referred to At
torney General Knox's statement re
garding this bill, saying that it was no',
rt '.'apartment measure. "Think of lt."
said Mr. Gorman. "Notice ls given to
Congress that nothing should be done
ia the way of legislation without con
sulting the administration."
The American people do not want
' one-man control. Mr. Gorman contend
ed. He hoped that such action would
be taken as would prevent one-man
control in the next four years, whoso
ever might fill the White House.
' Mr. Gorman closed with the declara
tion cf the conviction that the Post
office Department was ' honey-combed
with corruption and inefficiency."
Mr. Penrose, chairman of the com
mittee on postoffices, said that while
LL iwawtgljrullyfavored an-4avestiga
tIon,?ne has now reached the conclu
sion that none was necessary.
Mr. Penrose challenged the accuracy
of Mr. Gorman's statement that extra
ordinary haste had been exercised by
the committee on postnffices in the pre
paration of the bill. The subject mat
ter of the measure had been receiving
attention, he said, since last Decem
ber.
Mr. Lodge sustained Mr. Penrose's
Statement that there had been no un
due haste In bringing the postoffice
bill into the Senate. It was true that
the committee had done al! in its pow
er to promote nn early adjournment.
"The party in power," he proceed?
ed, "has deemed it beat to bring about
an early adjournment If it could be
done. So far as I am aware there have
been no instructions received from any
body in any quarter. I was not on this
side of the chamber that the expres
sion "cuckoo" originated. That word
is chargeable to the Senator from Ala
bama and applied to his side of the
chamber." It also should be hrone In
mind, bc said, that the charge that a
President hrs said that, be wanted to
p.et Congress of? his hands was to be
traced to a Denim.*;3tic President, and
Mr. Gorman had gotten his Presidents
mixed.
In the House.
Substantial progress was made
Wednesday by thc House, in the con
sideration cf the sundry civil bill,
fifty-one pages being disposed of, leav
ing only twenty-one to be road. No
amendments of general importance
were road.
Mr. Bartlett, of Georgia, briefly re
plied to the statements cf Mr. Gillett,
of Massachusetts, made last Monday
on the negro question. He said Mr
Gillett had lectured the South for tier
tain alleged outrages and violations
of the law. He declared lhat Massa
chusetts wns not free from tho chnrge
cf disregard of the lav,*, even thone*'',
that State may claim to be moro re
fined than others. He cited an in
stance whore n mob in Marion. Mass.,
in 1902. had tarred and feathered a
man and woman, and he said the
perpertrators of the outrage had been
acquitted and marched through the
streets as heroes. He read from sta
tistics of Massachusetts showing the
number of the "disgraceful" marri
ages of whites with negroes in the
citv of Boston. If these facts are
true. Mr. Bartlett said, "the teachers
of the gentleman from Massachusetts
and those who believe as he does, are
com in g like chickens, home to roost."
He did not believe, he declared, thal
the people of Massachusetts enter
tained nor re-echoed the sentiments
Of Mr. Gillett. While the people of
Massachusetts may have peculiar no
tions ?ts to some things, and may bo
;.forn in their convictions, they at
least have awakened to believe that
the people of the'South are entitled
to wor titi* problem In their own

s.; j ' COMMERCIAL LATIN. r T
Volapuk and Esperanto Already Dead
Languages-Wonderful Discovery.
The necessity for a universal lan*
guage has now passed beyond the
realm ol discussion. With the rail
roads, the high speed steamers, the
telegraph and the telephone bringing
human beings closer together every
day, it is outrageous that ?peech
should still continue to separte them;
Let us, therefore, unify all langa?g3S?
But what language will the trust of
mankind speak? A living language
is not to be considered; the national
pride of too many nations would have
to be encountered. Artificial lan
guages have no prospect of success;
they are too arbitrary. Under th?
plea of progress, Esperanto, which
superseded Volapuk, is already op
posed by the "Neutral Language" and
by the "Common Tongue."
Dr. Colombo asserts that only a
dead language has any chance of suc
cess, and that Latin is the most avail
able. To begin with, It ia not a lan
guage that is to be made; it is already
constituted; it ls taught in all coun
tries. Ten million persons can speak
it, and, being more synthetic than
any other, it Is eminently the lan
guage of the telegraph.
But it is said that Latin is a diffi
cult language. Yes, if literary Latin
Is meant; and that is why the periodi
cals printed in that language in Leip
sic, in Berlin and in Rome have their
subscribers only among the learned;
no, if commercial Latin is meant. The
latter Is a3 simple as anything can
be. The sailors, the soldiers, and tho
merchants of Rome, taught it without
difficulty to the barbarians who dwelt
alonp the Seine, the Thames, the
Rhine, the Nile and the Euphrates.
Jjt: Colombo declares that he has
rediscovered commercial Latin in the
ruins of Pompeii. It has no deponent
verbs; the passive is formed in all
CHKOs by means of the auxiliary
"sum;." it employs the shortest words;
its grammar is reduced to a minimum,
and it has no amphibologies. This
kind of Latin Is clearness Itself, and
can be mastered in a few lessons by a
.schoolboy.
It' lt should be adopted as the uni
versal language, the weary years
wasted over it by so many mediocre
students in the higher educational In
stitutions will immediately become
time usefully employed.
Under the auspices of the Linguis
tic Union of the Cote d'Azur. Dr. Co
lombo, in furtherance of thin now im
portant movomeut. has already pub

Latin."-Courrier des Etats Unis

The crows of the orient are said lo
be far advanced in the art of stealing

story ls told of a pair of crows nt Bom

peatedly for that purpose! These birds
carried off eighty-four spectacle frames
of gold, silver and steel, which were
so Ingeniously woven together In their
