T7. B. Senators Indulge In More Bit
ter Talk Than Has Been Heard In
The Senate in Tears. Lodge and
Teller Nearly Go to Blows.
Wrathful Passage Between Till'
man and Spooner.
Washington, Jan. 28. A Philippine
storm was central in the senate cham
ber today for nearly three hours bat
wu Told of definite results. Attlmee it
looked verr serious, and the- spectators,
who thronged the galleries, watched it
with breathless interest.
Acrimony in senate debates is not fre
quent, bnt old senators say it has been
Tears since there has been each a burri
eeilof bitter vituperation, of personal
taunt, of ugly charges and of unmodified
criticism as was witnessed today. Not
since the discussion of the resolutions
leading up to the Hlspano-American
war have any such scenes occurred in the
senate. Even that debate lacked the per
sonal bitterness manueeted at times to
day.
Irritation was aroused on both sides
of the chamber and once or twice per
sonal encounters between senators seemed
Imminent. Once when Senator Teller
taunted the Republican senators by de
claring they knew the statements made
In a recent dispatch from Manilain which
General Wheaton was represented as
riticising the opponents of the govern
ments policy in tbe Philippines were
true, a half dozen Republicans were on
their feet in an instant. Senator Lodge,
at whom the taunt seemed aimed partlc
alarly, hurriedly crossed from his seat in
she center of the Republican side to the
main aisle of the senate, 'and, white to
she lips, passionately challenged the
statement of the Colorado senator and
demanded that he withdraw it. Senator
Teller so modified the statement that
further hostilities at that time were
averted.
One of the sharpest colloquies of the
session was between Senators Spooner,
of Wisconsin, and Tillman, of South Car
( olina.The race problem, involving tbe
-lynching of negroes was injected Into the
controversy and much feeling was mani
fested. Senators, in their excitement,
seemed for the moment to have forgotten
the subject of debate.- The chair (Mr.
Frye) was able, with difficulty, to main
tain order. When the discussion finally
ended for the day the chair felt called
upon seriously to admonish senators
that the rules of the body bad not been
observed, and after reading the rule
which had been violated he expressed the
Hope tbat in the future senators would
have a care to observe it. Such an ad
monition has not been made by tbe pre
siding officer of the senate In many years.

Every woman in the country
ought to know 'about
Holder's Friend
Those who do know . about it
wonder how they ever got along
without it. It has robbed child,
birth of its terrors for many a
young wife. It has preserved her
girlish figure and saved her much
suffering. It is an external lini
ment and carries with it therefore,
absolutely no danger of upsetting
tbe system as drugs taken intern
ally -are apt to do. It is -to be
rubbed into the abdomen to soften
and strengthen tbe muscles which
are to bear the strain. This means
much less pain. It also prevents
morning 'sickness and au of the
other discomforts - of pregnancy.
A druggist of Macon, Ga., says:
" I have sold a huge quantity of
Mother's Friend and have never
known an instance where it has
failed to prod ace the good results
claimed for it"
A prominent ' lady of Lam
berton. Ark., writes: " With my
first six children 1 was in labor
from 34 to 30 hours. After using
Mother's Friend, my seventh was
born in 4 hours."

GROWTH Or ADVERTISING.
Fifty Tears Ago Considered by Many a
'Waste of Money.
Youth's CoapanioD.
Fifty years ago it was considered be
neath the dlflmity of many substantial
concerns to advertise beyond the inser
tion In the newspapers of an occasional
business card. Some of tbe experiences
of that time show how recently adver
tising, as we know it, has developed.
A retail hardware house in an eastern
city once found itself possessed of ten
times the number ol articles or a cer
tain kind that it had intended to buy. As
they had been ordered especially for a
new hotel and were of a peculiar design.
there seemed to be no way of disposing
of tnem except at a merely nominal sum.
One of tbe younger men connected with
the concern offered to "move them" at a
fair price provided he be permitted to ad
vertise. The. suggestion encountered
much opposition, but finally a small sum
was set apart to carry it out. Tbe ad
vertisement was drafted in an attractive
way, and the people soon began to buy
the new article. Finally the house was
obliged to send to the manufacturers for
more. When the next season's trade
opened, tbe member of the firm who had
opposed the experiment whispered to the
young man that he had better write out
a few notices "and put them In the pa
pers." From such beginnings the advertising
practice has come. Thousands of dol
lars are now spent not only in advertis
ing Itself, but in devising clever catch
words, ingenious phrases and illustra
tions which will stick inthe memory bf
the reader as well as new general meth
ods. No doubt money may be wasted in
ineffective advertising or In advertising
worthless goods: but, on the other nana,
fortunes are made where there is in an
article a happy union between publicity
and merit.

"Away over on tbe east side of the

rejoices In the euphonious and sug
gestive name of 'Four Cent Miller,
He sells meat In smallest quantity to
his customers, and, as the coin of the
realm in that locality, is principally
conspicuous by Its absence, there Is
a constant effort to beat him down In
price. The other day Miller and
would be customer all but came to
blows over a pound or so of pork chops.
and tbe discussion finally culminated
in Miller irately demanding:
" Well, why don't you go to Smith
(a rival batcher) If you can get them
cheaper?
"'Because.' explained the customer.
'Smith hasn't got any.'
" Ohr said Miller, 'is that so? Well.
when I haven't got any my price will
be 4 cents, too, but while I have they
cost 7 cents. See?"
"The customer saw and purchased.'

Americas Marines "Who Took Part Ia Aa
. Expedition Into the later tor of Samar,
Had Terrible Experience. Had to Sat
Raw Dos Flesh.
Manila, Jan. 28. General Chaffee cur
tailed his trip and returned here this
morning. He says be found tbe condi
tlons satisfactory everywhere except at
Samar, where continuous rain, during
the past two months, has retarded the
campaign, especially against such an elu
sive enemy. ,
The condition of Captain David D,
Porter's marines, who took part in the
expedition into the interior of Samar, Is
much worse than previously described.
They suffered fearful hardships and were
without food for several days. Tbe na
tives who accompanied the marines
claimed they were unable to distinguish
the edible roots, which the marines did
not believe. Tbe anger of the marines
against the natives is intense. None of
tbe latter returned with the marines.
The marines suffered so acutely from
starvation that they ate, raw, the flesh
of two dogs.
When Captain Porter and the first
three of his men staggered into camp,
they were delirious and difficulty was ex
perienced in ascertaining the whereabouts
oi their companions.
Williams, of the First Infantry, headed
tbe relief expedition in tbe face of a tor
rential rain storm which flooded the
rivers. He succeeded in reaching the re
maining ten men, who would otherwise
have certainly perished. He found them
all delirious. Two of the men were dis
covered, in the branches of trees, barking
like dogs. Some of the marines are so ill
tbat they are not likely to recover.
General Chaffee has endeavored to oo-
tain full details of the trip of the marines,
but Captain Porter is not yet able to
lucidly explain matters.
The expedition into the interior of
Samar led by Captain David D. Porter,
oi tbe marine corps, numbered Vo men.
It had been absent two weeks. The ma
rines had been provided with rations for
only nve days, un January zi, captain
Porter and 26 members of his party
reached the coast of tbe Island of Ha mar.
The otber ten men were missing and
little hope of their recovery was enter
tained.
