Boston Banker Says I less for that L Carterton H. Hutchinson, a leading banker and broker of Boston, with offices at 8 Congress Street, in that city, has recently coine out with a very strong statement. In the widespread discussion over Copper's new theory and medicines which has spread over the country so rapidly, Mr. Hutchinson has taken the eide of those who, say that Cooper's fVi?o OArro^tf and Vt?fl modinino all vugw J WX A VVV 14AO.V+ iUWUiViUV v?*4 that he claims. Mr. Hutchinson's emphatic statement is as follows: "Anyone afflicted with chronic ill health and a general Tun-down condition caused by stomach trouble, who does not try this man Cooper's medicine, is very foolish. I say this after a most remarkable experience with the medicine. "I heard of Cooper's success first when he was in Chicago, as I have a private wire to that city in connection with my business. Later, when he came East, I learned more of him and his theory that stomach trouble causes most ill health. I have had no faith in anything not prescribed by a physician for each particular case after careful diagnosis, but after eight 'years of constant suffering, during which Legislative. The Legislature is now on the home stretch. There remain two weeks more in which to pass and in which to kill pending measures. Hardly the half of what is on the Calendar will be acted upon, as there will not be sufficient time, but for that matter such :'s always the case at end of every session. The good things are cullec} out, and the indifferent and bad propositions are left to die 011 the Calender with either unfavorable or majority and I minority committee reports. As a general rule?not always?the committees exercise excellent judgement in the handling of most matters, and ,'while oftentimes bad ideas run the gauntlet of the committees, such is not the usual case. Perhaps the most important and significant action or statement made in the Senate has been the adoption on the part of the Senate on a tie vote of the Talbert resolution asking the State Democratic Convention to provide for a ballot on "the sale of liquor'' and "no sale." The Senate passed the resolution with the vote of Mr. McLeod, and it now goes over to the House for concurrence, and there^is no telling what will be done there. All prohibition bills have been killed, so far as this session is concerned. The Senate is getting up quite a considerable reputation on questions of personal privilege these days. Some one suggested that there have been eighty-seven such questions raised already this session. This may be a few too many, but it gives an idea of how general the thing is on the part of the Senators. The discussion under this head on Friday was certainly interesting. Briefly it was as to whether a lawyer, who at the same time is a State Senator, has the moral or ethical right to represent a client who may be interested in legislation and whether his declining to vote or work for or against such a measure, in which his client may be interested, is sufficient. The question is whether a lawyer can or should represent, at any time, "a client in any way interested in legislation and does refuse to vote on the measure put such a lawyer in a correct ethical position or should a lawyer absolutely refuse such business while a member of the lawmaking body. Rate legislation and the lien law are the two issues that are now apparently uppermost. What is to be done with these propositions is what Senators are asking each other. Both issues are in the hands of the Senate at this stage of the legislative proceeding. Some Senators think the lien law will be repealed; others say that there will be no legislation along this line and that the present status will be | maintained; other Senators say that they will send back such a repealing bill to the House that its best friends will not recognize it. And so it goes. In a word it is doubtful if the lien law will be repealed. In the matter of the rate legislation there has been the prettiest playing of the session. The rate bill has been a veritable ball for the bright kittens of the Senate to play with, and really there are awfully clever kittens, so to. speak, in the Senate. For a week Senator Toole has been aching and worrying and toiling to get a vote on his rate bill. Some other issue is innocently brought lip and passed to the front. It may or it may not be a desire to avoid the direct issue on the rate question, but some of the friends of the bill are apparently losing hope and faith, and the talk now is very much stronger and verv much more confident on the part'of those Senators who are entirely opposed to any rate legislation at this session.

N/ v ?? ators voted to kill the bill, and that would have disposed of the matter in tot.o. The vote on such aprelimiru ry question is not always the same as on the final vote. The rate bill rnav or may not be made agreeable to other Senators. There is a chorus of unanimity about one thing. There is no diversion or vote or sentiment concerning- the one thing?the trip to Charleston. Everyone is enthusiastic and happy over that trip. All say that the Citadel, the Commercial Club and the people of Charles?pn know how to do the right thing, and do it better than anyone else. Messrs. Wannamaker and Wingard of the Lexington delegation OUT' ABS IN fHf^: lis Life Has Been Hope= ength of Time. time I spent over $1,500 with absolutely no relief, I felt that it would at least do no harm 10 try the medicine which I was hearing so much about. "During these eight years I have been forced to go without solid food for five and six weeks at a time. I always had a sour stomach, was troubled -with formation of gas, and led tbe usual miserable life of the dyspeptic. I was dull, tired, nervous and gloomy all the time, and was always constipated. "I have taken Cooper's medicine a comparatively short time. For the past month I have not had the slightest sign of stomach trouble. I can eat anything with no bad effect whatsoever. I have a fine appetite, am gaining flesh very rapidly, am cheerful, full of energy, and my nervousness has disappeared. My bowels are in perfect condition for the first time in eight years. "I don't hesitate to say that I would not take $50,000 and be back where I was. My relief and thankfulness is beyond description." We sell Cooper's famous preparation .described, in the above statement, I ?The Kaufmann Drug Co. were in the party. There are a dozen bills pending affecting insurance matters. Just now the persistent effort is being made to have a bill passed providing for, an insurance department. Work of the House. The House has before it two busy weeks, and then comes Washington,s i birthday and adjournment. This year the date of adjournment falls on Feb. 22, and this being a legal holiday, the Legislators may decide to quit one day earlier. Befcre that day there is much work to be done. The" House Calender on Friday was a neat volume of 3G pages, but in the two sessions of that clay a vast amount of work was done. The House on Friday^ killed Mr. ; Kershaw's bill "to promote the at- I tendance of children in school." Mr. Aull had his bill cn the same subject passed over and it is still on the Calender. Mr. D. L. Smith's bill to abolish the department of commerce^and immigration is also now a special order. Mr. Smith tried several times to get the bill taken up for tve purpose of giving it precedence and at la9t succeeded, but thi9 does not necessarily indicate that the House is hostile to the department.
