CANAL BILL
IN THE HOUSE
Mr. Williams Moves; to Cut
Appropriation.
CARRIES $11,000,000
.Sharp Debate Over the Hatter of Ex
pense Senator Tillman Argue
for His Campaign Fund
Measure.
Washington, D. C, Dec. 8. Reading
of the Panama canal appropriation bill
was resumed in the House on the con
vening of that body yesterday. The
first amendment was presented by Mr.
Williams. lie moved to cut the appro
priation from $16,500,000 to $6,838,333,
Jbelieving hat this latter sum was suffi
cient to meet the needs of the commis
aioa to Jan. 15 next. lie had taken
tb indebtedness of the commission,
wiich they had stated as $4,500,000,
mad had added to this the December esti
mates amounting to 92,358,3o3.
Mr. Tawney said it was impossible
to segregate from the estimates the lia
bility of the commitoiion due in Decem
ber on equipment purchased by the com
mission. Mr. Williams contended that
these supplies were not to be delivered
until Juno, and payment need not be
made until delivery. An amendment
to that of Mr. Williams was offered by
Mr. Trince (111.), making the appropria
tion $10,000,001), which sum, he paid,
was sullicient to meet all emergency
necessities. He also opposed the issuance
of bonds. Mr. Burton (Ohio) questioned
the necessity of the purchase of forty
three steam shovels, costing something
less than half a million dollars, Bhould it
be decided to have the work done by
contract. Replying, Mr. Mann (111.)
stated the commission and engineers
bad concluded that the equipment esti
mated for was necessary, no matter how
the work was done.
The entire appropriation was advo
cated by Mr. Payne of New York. Mr.
Clark of Missouri declared that in his
opinion discrimination was being made
trainst the territory drained by the
Idisaissippi river, and maintained that
cheaper air water rates could be made
from Pittsburg by way of New Orleans
than by New York. Mr. Wanger of
Pennsylvania stated that there was a
line of steamers plying between New
Orleans and Colon, but that it did not
give rates as advantageous as by the
jfovemment's own boats from New York.
Why don't some of those steamers run
from New Orleans t" demanded Mr.
dark. I understand the port of New
Orleans was clotted during a part of last
enson," replied Mr. Wanger.
The House rejected the amendment of
Mr. Williams fixing the amount of the
canal appropriation at $6,858,333, and
adopted an amendment fixing the amount
at $11,000,000.

Brackett Says He Should Resign from
the Senate.
Saratoga, N. Y., Dec. 8. Senator Ed
gar T. Brackett said yesterday:
"I think that Senator Depew should
resign his place in. the United States
Senate. In saying so I do not assume
to pass any judgment upon him, further
than that he has lost the confidence
of the party.
"1 have not said that I would offer
in the Senate any resolution asking for
such resignation, nor shall 1 say so.
When the time comes It will be devel
oped whether or not it will I done, but
I do not believe that it will be re
quired. I believe that Senator Dopew
will see his duty to the party and will
do it and by doing it will relieve the
present intolerable situation, which can
lead only to disaster."

from the balmy southern isle Hints at
mospheric conditions in Washington dis
tastefull to . him, particularly in the
Hall of Representatives.
His reception has been warm but de

Accordingly, while other members may

AND NOW IT'S CHICO CIGARS.
Interesting Talk by C. H. Kendrick &
Co. on What Makes Cigar Popular.
The remarkable success of Wadsworth
BroB.' Chico cigar in getting into the
mouths of smokers in Barre is aston
ishing. I-ess than a year ago the Chico was
unknown here. Today it is the most
popular cigar m C. H. Kendrick 4. Co. s
large stock.
"Advertising alone will not make a
cigar popular," said -Mr. Kendrick. "A
cigar must be good to meet with a sale
in this city. I do not know of a town
where the smokers are as discriminating
as they are in Barre, and the foot that
they have made Wadsworth Bros.' Chico
their favorite speaks volumes for its
quality. While it sells for 5e, it is better
than the average ten-center, so that it
reaches all classes of smokers. It is an
all long Havana filler cigar, and a good
one, that I am glnd to recommend to
my customers.

TAMMANY
IN A PANIC
Disturbed by Possibility of
Recanvass.
MURPHY HURRIESTO FRONT
No Merry Christmas This Year in the
Wigwam Complete Recount
, May Result in Hearst's
Election.
New York, Dec. 8. The unanimous
decision of the appellate division of the
supreme court sustaining the demand
of William R. Hearst that the ballots
cast for mayor in certain districts at
the last election be not only recounted
but also recanvassed, has caused a panic
in Tammany Hall. The court of appeals
is yet to be heard from, but Tammany
has little hope that this court will re
verse the decision. A renvass has
been desperately opposed from the begin
ning by Mayor McClellan's lawyers, and
it is now the general belief that if, the
court of appeals decides in favor of
Hearst, McClellan's slender plurality on
the face of the election returns may
be almost if not quite upset. The may
or has stopped slate-making, Charles F.
Murphy is hurryng back to New York
from Mount Clemens, and Tammany
office-holders are at last thoroughly
frightened, ?
What a recanvass may mean was
shown last week when four ballot boxes
were opened. The number of ballots in
three of the boxes did not correspond
with the number on the tally sheets,
and it was found that fourteen legal
ballots cast for Hearst had not been
counted by the flection inspectors.
Moreover, ther were in the boxes fifty
two clearly illegal McClellan ballots
which had been counted. These ballots
were marked with stars and other fig
ures not recognized by the ballot law
and were ' plainly , so marked for the
purpose of identification; that is, to
satisfy the purchasers of the votes that
the poods had been delivered. There are,
in all, 1948 ballot boxes; so it will be
seen that a general recanvass is a seri
ous proposition for Tammany. McClel
lan's apparent plurality is less than
3,500. A change of two votes from Mc
Clellan to Hearst in each election dis
trict would, therefore, result in Hearst's
election.
Should the court of appeals sustain
the appellate division of the supreme
court, it would probably take several
months o recanvass the vote if Hearst
persisted in the demand to open nearly
all the ballot boxes. It would be
question, then, whether MeClellan could
get a certificate' of election or whether
he would hold over until a final decision
was rendered. The Hearst lawyers will
use every legal expedient to prevent the
issuance of a certificate of election. As
a holdover, the Hearst lawyers say, Me
Clellan could make no appointments and
it is doubtful whether he could- perform
some other functions of his office.
It has been the custom of Tammany
mayors to serve as Santa Clans by dis
tributing the offices a day or two before
Christmas. There will be a departure
from the custom this year. The mayor
has let it be known that he will an
nounce no appointments till January 1
and he may not be in a position to an
nounce any then; so there is no talk of
a merry Christrnus at Tammany Hall
these days.
Hearing on Ballot Boxes Monday.
Albany, N. Y., Dec. 8. The court of
appeals yesterday afternoon fixed upon
next Monday-for the argument of the
appeal in the New York ballot box eases.
The attorneys will be allowed to bring
into court the original tally sheets in
volved in the dispute. William R. Hearst
is seeking to recanvass as well as to
recount the ballots in the second elec
tion district of the Sixth Assembly dis
trict. It Takes
Nerve
Everything depends upon
your nerves. It is nerve force
that causes the brain to direct
the motion of your body ; it is
nerve force that causes your
heart to pulsate, and send the
blood through your veins; it
is nerve force that causes your
stomach to digest food, your
kidneys to filter the blood, and
the liver to secrete bile.
In fact, nerve force is the
power that runs your body, so
if you feel worn-out, irritable,
nervous, cannot sleep, or eat
well, have pain or misery
anywhere, j'our nerves are
weak, and your system run
down. To restore this vitality
take Dr. Miles' Nervine which
will strengthen and build up
the nerves. You cannot be
healthy without strong nerves.
"For eighteen years l)r. Miles'

.THE STORY OF VIKOL'INSURANCE
By Rickert & Weill of Barre
Our experience with medicines ex-'
tends over many years. We have had
ample opportunity to watch thousands
of them and their results, and we can
honestly say that we've never sold a
medicine in our store that gives more
universal satisfaction than does Vinol.
This is because Vinol possesses intrin
sic merit, and we want everybody in
Barre to know more about it, and why
we stand behind it.
For centurjes cod liver oil has been
recognized as the grandest of alL body
building agents for wasted human
strength and vitalityyet oa account
of the disagreeable oil which envelops
its curative elements, it invariably clogs
the system, upsets the stomach and its
virtue is lost.
Now modern science has proved that
the oil or greasy part has no value,
either as a food or medicine, and the
medicinal elements, of which there are
about fifty different kinds in the cod's
liver, represent all the tonic, body-building
and curative powers of this famous
old remedy.
After twenty years of study two emi
nent French chemists discovered a way
to separate all these medicinal elements
from the oil and livers and give to mod
ern medicine all the valuable curatives
of the cod's liver Vithout a drop of
the useless oil, and thus made Vinol.
Vinol, therfore, is guaranteed to con
tain in a highly concentrated form all
of these medicinal curative and body
building elements actually taken from
fresh cods' livers, without oil, and for
this reason it is fast superseding old
fathioned cod liver oil and emulaions.
As a body-builder and strength-creator
for old people, weak women, puny chil
dren, for the anaemic and after sickness,
and for all pulmonary troubles we hon
estly believe it has no equal. Rickert
& Wells, Druggists.

CLERK IN IT
Received Money of Security
Life.
AS A' STATE EMPLOYE
Insurance Department Drawn Into the
Scandal Mrs. Harper a Bene- .
ficiary Large Sums
Paid.
New York, Dee. 8. William A. Batts,
paymaster of the Mutual Reserve Life
Insurance company, was the first wit
ness before the insurance investigators
yesterday.
Charles M. Turner, president of the
Security Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of Binghamton, also had another
turn on the witness stand. He said his
company had paid $1,000 a year to a Mr.
Keefer, a clerk in the New York state
insurance department, to perform some
duties as actuary of the Security Mu
tual. "It did not occur to me," said Mr.
Turner, "that this conflicted with Mr.
Keefe's duties to the insurance depart
ment." When Mr. Butts had shown he was
unfamiliar with the details of payments
in connection with the estate of Ed
ward B. Harper, who, as president of
the Mutual Reserve, bequeathed to
Frederick A. Burnham the management
of the company, Mr. Hughes recalled the
company's book-keeper, John A. Hyland.
It appeared that money in large
amounts was paid by the cashier to of
ficers of the company and charged "to
the account of the estate of Edward B.
Harper." There was a payment of $8,000
to Mr. Butts, paymaster, and one of
$3,250 to M. B Moss, metropolitan agent,
both on Nov. 4, 1896. Then, on Feb.
11, 1897, the sum of $7,500 was paid
to Mrs. Emma M. Harper and G. W. Har
per, executrix and executor of Edward
R Harper. The check for this was in
dorsed to Annie Davs,-who, according
to the witnes, was a siHter of Mrs. Har
per. Mr Hughes called atention to a book
entry showing that, in 1898 $38,000 had
been pad to the different persons and
charged to the account, while $21,000 had
boon restored and credited thereto. Be
yond giving the bare figures, as shown
on the books, Mr. Hyland was unable
to explain the transactions.
Hie payments to Mrs. Harper on ac
count of the estate had continued up to
the. prewnt tme, said Mr. Hyland, the
money being drawn against commissions.
The aggregate ' amount drawn against
the estate in favor of the widow had
been $134,067.
"At what rate fei she now being paid?"
"She gets one-third of 20 cents per
$1,000 on insurance still in force, written
prior to July 2, 1S95."
"Are any amounts being paid to Presi
dent Burnham out of this?"
"Not to my knowledge."
Mr. Butts, returning to the stand,
testified to handing $S,000 to Mr. Burn
ham, without receiving a voucher or
knowing for what the cash was to bo
used. This was the $S,000 he received on
account of the Harper estate.
George W. Eldridgc, vice president of
the Mutual Reserve, who was on the
stand Wednesday, was called again. He
was asked to explain why payments
were being continued under the old
Harper contract. He replied that Mr.
Harper or hk estate had been entitled
to a percentage of receipts indefinitely.
As to his former testimony, that Mrs.
Harper had receved only $4S,000, he said
it had not been his intention to make
such an assertion. He could not remem
ber that the Harper contract had ever
been declared invalid. The payment to
President Burnham on account of the
estate had ceased after a. resolution of
the trustees in August, 1898, he said.
Why an excess of $21,000 had been paid
out on account of the estate in 1S93 he
did not know, except that he had "gen
eral recollection that there was some
mistake in drawing the checks and mak
ing the vouchers,"
The Binghamton insurance concern
C M. Turner admitted, once employed
as consultng actuary a man connected
with the state insurance department.
"Who-was he?" asked Atty. Hughes.
"Mr. Keefer."
"How long was he your consulting
Hetuarv?"
"I don't recall."
"Was he in the insurance department
at the time?"
"Yes."
"What did you pay him?"
"One thousand a year."
"What was his salary in the insur
ance department?" ' '
"I don't know about that."
Mr. Turner said it never occurred to
him that Mr. Keefe was an employe of
the state. He was sure that his public
duties were not interfered with.
