TWO CURES.
Florence, S. C., Aug. 16,1803.
GentlemenI began to suffer from
rheumatism about three years ago, and
had it very bad in my limbs. At times
I oould hardly walk. Was treated by
a physician without benefit. More than
a year ago, Mr. George Wilson, an engi
neer on the Coast Line, living in Flor
ence, told mo that "Rhecmagide"
cured him. I got a bottle and it bene-
fttted me. I took five bottles and am
now as well as I ever was In my life,
i regard “ Rhrduacide as a great
medicine. I know of others It has
cured.
Truly,

Darlington, S. C., Aug. 19th, 1909.
GentlemenAbout two /ears ago I
bad a very severe attack of inflamma
tory rheumatism. 1 suffered great pain
and was conflm-d to my bed for five
weeks. During the time I was treated
I 1 by two Physicians without permanent
i relief. Capt. Marker, a conductor on
the Atlantic Coast Line heard of my
i 1 condition and sunt me two bottles of
“Kheumacide.” I began to take It
and in a week 1 got up and walked on
crutches. After taking three bottles of
the remedy I got entirely well and
went back to my busineks.
I personally know of a number of
other bad cases that were cured by the
use of your medicine, in this town and
vicinity. It Is all that you claim for It.

sists that Colombia is responsible.
AN ACCOMMODATING SUICIDE.
Scrupulous Conscierge Waited Until
All Tenants Were In.
New York, Nov. 24.—This city has
just lost its model conscierge, Eu
gene Brun, guardian of a house in
the Rue Dussoubs, says a Herald dis
patch from Paris.
He committed suicide, leaving a let
ter to explain that, as the weather
was very cold, and he did not want any
of the tenants to be shut out In the
street by his being unable to pull
the cordon to admit them, he would
postpone his suicide until after mid
night.
Even at that hour the scrupulous
conscierge was not sure that all the
tenants had returned, so. in order to
make assurance doubly sure, he hang
ed himself to the cordon so that the
weight of hi* body would eause the
door to open.

U. S. LAWMAKERS
AGAIN SESSION
Second Session I ifty-Seventh
Congress Convenes.
PUBLIC GALLERIES ARE PACKED.
Hall of Representatives Presented Bril
liant Appearance With the Elaborate
Decorations Made for the Occasion.
Speaker Henderson Greeted. .
Washington, Dec. 1.—The second
session of the fifty-seventh congress
convened at noon today.
The hall of representatives present
ed a brilliant scene for the opening
of the session. During the recess the
chamber had been decorated througn-
out. The old color of scheme of gold
and carmine will be preserved, but
the fresh colors served to lighten tho
general effect. The famous paintings
of Bierstad, “The Discovery of the
Hudson,’’ and “The Landing of the
Verbian Expedition at Monterey, Cal.,
In 1621,” which formerly hung iu
panels on either side of the speaker’s
rostrum, have been removed to the
lobby in the rear and in their place a
full length portrait of Washington and
Lafayette.
Public Galleries Packed.
Although the gavel was not to fail
until noon, the public galleries were
packed soon after they were thrown
open at 10 o’clock, and the sections re
served for the families and friends
of members were also filled early. The
opening of congress is a society as
well as a political event, and in the
galleries were many handsomely
gowned' society women.
There was the usual flower display,
although it was. perhaps, not as elab
orate as upon some similar occasions
in the past. It was noticeable that
the victorious party in the recent cam
paign did not monopolize the entire
flower show. By 11 o’clock the air
was heavy with the odors of perfumes
and the hall buzzed with the steady
hum of conversation from the throngs
in the surrounding galleries.
Shortly after 11 o’clock the mem
bers began arriving, the greetings ex
changed seemingly being equally co*-
dial whether they were between po
lltical friends or enemies.
Took Raillery Good Naturedly.
The Democrats who were returning
after their fifth successive defeat took
the raillery of the Republicans good
naturedly.
It was generally remarked upon in
the galleries that the most elaborate
floral pieces were on the desks of Mr.
Connell, of Pennsylvania, and Mr.
Loud, of California, two Republicans
who were defeated for re-election.
At 11:45 o’clock the doorkeeper di
rected bis assistants to clear the floor
ot ail persons not entitled to remain
during the session. Meantime mem
bers were entering the floor from the
lobbies, and there was much confu
sion. The leaders on both sides were
surrounded and greeted as they found
their way to their desks, but there
were no demonstrations.
Mr. Cannon, of lllionis, whose elec
tion as speaker of the next house is
already assured, was besieged by his
colleagues and could with difficulty
find a way to his desk. Mr. Payne,
of New Y’ork, the floor leader of the
majority, Mr. Dalzell, of Pennsylva-
n.a, and Mr. Richardson, the minority
leader, and other prominent members
also held impromptu receptions.
Henderson Greeted With Applauae.
Three minutes before the hour of
noon the doors from the rear lobby
swung open and Speaker Henderson
entered. He was immediately sur
rounded by members and held a re
ception upon the marble steps of the
rostrum until the hands of the clock
met. Then exactly at 12 o’clock,
noon, he ascended to his place. A
great outburst of applause greeted
him as he faced the house and gal
leries. With several vigorous whacks
of the gavel the sipeaker stilled the
demonstration. In the hush that fol
lowed the blind chaplain. Rev. Cou-
den, offered up prayer, fervently in
voking divine blessing upon the pres
ident, the government, the members
of congress and the work of the ses
sion. When he had concluded the
speaker directed the clerk to call the
roll. Immediately a babel of voices
broke out afresh and in the volume of
sound that filled the hall the calls of
the clerk could hardly be distinguish
ed. So great was the confusion that
the speaker was obliged to bring the
house to order, and to admonleh both
the members and the spectator* In the
galleries to preserve order. The roll
call then proceeded.
The customary resolution Instruct
ing the clerk to inform the senate
that the house was reai'y to do busi-
ness and fixing the hour of meeting at
noon was adopted. Mr. Brandege
of Connocticut, then announced the
death of hie predecessor, Mr. Russell,
and following the usual forms of re
gret. These were adopted, and a:
1:56 p. m., as a further mark of re
spect, the house adjourned until to
morrow.
IN THE SENATE.
Resolutions of Regret Adopted Over
Death of Senator McMillan.
Washington, Dec. 1.—The scene in
the senate chamber today when the
body began the work of the fifty-sev
enth congress was a brilliant one.
Jjong before noon, when President Pro-
Tern. Frye brought his gavel down
and ogpened the proceedings the gal
leries began filling up. Every *eat
was soon occupied, and hundreds stood
outside the corridors clamoring for
admission.
Thu floor of the senate was a verit
able garden of flowers, chrysanthe
mums and violets spreading their fra
grance throughout the chamber. Many
of the floral pieces were magnificent
and completely hid the desks from
view. Without distinction of party,
senators moved from one side of the
chamber to the other and renewed
old acquaintances. The old scores,
made in the heat of debate in the last
session, had cooled off and everywhere
it was noted that the best of feeling
prevailed. The familiar figure of Sen
ator James McMillan, of Michigan,
who was beloved by his associates^
was missing and universal sorrow was
again expressed over his demise.
The customary resolutions were
adopted notifying the house that the
senate was reatij to proceed to busi
ness, appointing a committee to join
with one from the house to wait on
the president and inform him that con
gress was assembling and fixing the
hour of meeting at 12 o’clock.
Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, then an
nounced the death of his colleague,
James McMillan. He spoke with
great emotion and briefly referred to
the life and services of the dead sen
ator. Resolutions of regret were
offered and unanimously adopted, and
as a further mark of respect the sen
ate at 12:12 p. m. adjourned until 12
o’clock tomorrow.
