Audience Jury at White Temple
Says Marriage Is Not a Failure
MARRIAGE Is not a failure. This
momentous question was definitely
determined by an audience-Jury of about
1H03 persons at the White Temple last
Right, after listening to a debate on the
subject by Dr. J. Whltcomb Broughcr and
Rev. Clarence True Wilson. The fact
that the latter, who Is a bachelor and
has not practiced what he preached in
regard to matrimony, proved that he
knew more about the happiness of the
married state than Dr. Brougher, who
has been married for 15 years and has a
family of children, might In itself be con
strued into an argument for tho affirma
tive side of the question, but as the pas
tor of the White Temple suggested, there
were so many married couples present
that both husbands and wives were afraid
to rote on his side of It, even though they
thought that way.
If Mr. Wilson does not eek a wife In
the near future the prestige he attained
last night will doubtless take Ita flight.
He waa roundly abused and ridiculed by
the affirmative speaker for being a bach
elor, and was made the butt of many
Jokes, while he himself admitted that the
Good Book says. "It is not good for roan
to be alone," and painted vivid pictures
of the happlnesa of saarried JJfe. Dr.
Brougher. on the contrary, painted the
misery that prevailed 4n the majority of
homes, even wandering liitoaaan coun
tries to carry bis point. He had the
child-wires of In a and the mothers of
China to prove that more marriarea were
failures than successes. But t with

TRUSTS UNDER FIRE
Rainey Turns Guns Loose on
Dingley Tariff.
WATCHES FUBNISH TEXT
American-Made Goods Arc Bought
Abroad and Resold In America.
Women and Children In
the Factories.
WASHINGTON. April . Tariff, rail
way mall subsidies, denaturized alcohol
and enlarged postal facilities for Western
cities- were the features of the debate In
the House today. What were alleged to be
the Iniquities of the Dingley law, so far
as the manufacture of watchea Is- con
cerned, were discussed by Rainey. of Illi
nois, whose tariff revision speech was lis
tened to with much'lnteresU The 'stand
patters" made copious notes for the dis
cussions on protection which are fore
shadowed. Immediately after the House met Rainey
resumed his speech. Using the watch trust
as an object lesson to show how protec
tion works In behalf of monopolies, the
lone Democrat from Illinois In the Na
tional Legislature set up a "kindergarten
school for standpatters.
Rainey displayed a number of watches
of American make, -which he said had
been bought abroad and are now being
resold in the United States,
"Why does the gentleman continue to
sneak of the watch trust T" asked Gard
ner (Rep.. Mass.). "I am a stockholder
In the Waltham Company, and I have no
knowledge that they are In a trust."
"You may have to show that before
the -ways and means committee." retorted
Rainey.
Evils or Match Tru!.t.
Rainey said In 1SS0 there were 27 watch
factories In the United States. Now there
are but 15. He said there wer 15 per
cent more employed In the watch move
ment factories now than In ISM. But
there are GOO per cent more women em
ployed and 200 per cent more children.
Rainey thought that for the perpetuity
of the raco this condition ought to be In
vestigated. He asked the Republicans If
he had been sufficiently explicit regard
ing the watch trust, whether he satisfied
the chairman of the committee on ways
and means. He charged Payne (Rep..
N. Y.) with having gone about the cham
ber yesterday and advised Republicans
not to ask any questions.
"You must have been a mlndrcadcr."
replied Payne.
"There are no leaders on the majority
side of this House." continued Rainey.
"The real leaders of the Republican party,
are the McCurdys. McCalls and Hamll
tons the Rockefellers who skulk behind
stone walls, to resist service they are the
real leaders of the Republican party."
Predicts Democratic Victory.
Ralnev read a letter from the Speaker
to a friend in the West. In which he
stated that "tariff revision would come
In the not distant future."
"How can It come If the Speaker doesn't
want Itr asked Sulzcr (N. Y..
"It will come because the next House
will be Democratic." responded Rainey.
which brought t round of applause from
the Democratic side.
W. W. Kitchen (N. CV opposed the so
cial subsidy for railway mall facilities
from Washington to Atlanta, and New Or
leans and Kansas City. Mo, to Newton.
Kan. He said these special appropriations
.were among the very first to bo recom
mended for discontinuance by the Postmaster-General.
Wondcr-Worklns Alcohol.
Murdock (Kaxc). speaking in favor of
the bill denaturing alcohol, made the
claim that if the tax in taken off dena
turized alcohol it will work a revolution
In tho field of fuel, power and Illumina
tion. He said:
By known method tbe uni velum of al
cohol burns nearly twice a long a eroen
and clr a far better light; It I a cleaner and
later fuel than ganollse. Kr rorthxl that
re to com. I bHtv alcohol will a-ivanc
far beyond Its present superiority. I heller
thl tcau this country, th chief producer

has for nearly SO yean held ladoKrla! alcohol

trial ok has been held back. Itflfwe It; lt
Ast'rican cnlca have bold of It. and It will
op-n the door to. a chamber of marvels.
The mow Important effect of Twnovirur the
tax on denaturlsed aleobo would be lu regula
tion of the present erratic, price of Verwna
an 4 Caroline. Gasoline elli In eoms of the
Eaetera clUe at t cents per gallon, and In
some of the Weatern State at SO renta per
gallon. Keroeae baa a similar rancr. The
price of both is arbitrarily fixed. Actual tens
have demonttrated that alcohol at 20 cents a
saltan la cheaper for lUcht than Iterofene at
15 cents a a-allon. Twenty-cent alcohol would
drive 10-crnt kcrtvr-ne out of the marVet For
Internal combustion marine 20-crot alcohol
would bring 30-cent gaaolltva down to 20 cent,
and would In time tupplaat It. perhap. be

The internal cotnbuaiioa engine 1 tnalclnc a
as actually lived In all countries, nnd
said that because his own marriage and
home were zucceases was no reason that
all others were. Dr. Wilson handled It
as God's first and noblest institution, and
claimed that because there were frequent
failure of happiness in It. that It did
not prove that the Institution of marriage
is a failure.
"It depends on who are married." he
said. "If there is unhapplness It la the
fault of one or the other, or both, but
the failure of one 'or the other should
not place a ban on this Institution. If
you can find the right one to marry, and
feel that j-ou enjoy mental similarity and
physical contrast, and that there Is a
pure love existing, you can prove that
the marriage relation Is the happiest In
the world."
The concert which preceded the debate
was one that waa thoroughly enjoyed,
the programme being well arranged and
delightfully rendered. The Sunday-school
orchestra surprised many who had not
heard It before, and the men's quartet, as
well as the ladles quartet, won fresh
laurela of popularity by their excellent
performances. Miss Ethel Shea and Sliss

Reorganized Saints Convention.
KANSAS CITY. Mo.. April SL The gen
era I conference of the Reorganized
The Laxative op
Known
There are two classes of remedies: those of known qual
ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting
.gently, in harmony with nature, when natureneeds assist
ance; and another class, composed of preparations of
unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo
rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural
functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of
the remediesof known quality and excellence is the ever
pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of
plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup,
in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con
tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy
of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system
gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti
pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi
ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the
remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with
the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know
of their own personal knowledge
thatitis a most excellent laxative
it will cure all manner of ills, but
represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence,
containing nothing of an objectionable orinjurious character.
There are two classes of purchasers : those who are informed
as to the quality of what they buy and
of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go
elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known
article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know,
and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect

on my arms and neck, disappearing and
reappearing. I tried several ointments'
and other medicines, but nothing seemed
to thoroughly purify my blood and cure

Sarsapariila. My husband brought a
Hood's Calendar, and it was by reading
the advertisements and testimonials on
it that I concluded to try that medicine.
He purchased a supply of Hood's Sar
sapariila and Hood's Pills, and since
taking them I have not had any symp
toms of the return of the humor. It is
certainly just the medicine to take for
all blood troubles and tired feelings n
the spring." Mrs. Sue Eases, 427

Nerves Unstrung.
"My confidence In Hood's Sarsa
pariila is established by much- ex
perience. I take it regularly every
spring" and think it just what every
one needs for a good blood purifier
and tonic. One winter I had serious
palpitation of the heart, sick head
ache, that extreme tired feeling.
Could not sleep nights, nervous sys
tem seemed unstrung. On taking
Hood's all these bad symptoms dis
appeared. I am well and my weight
has Increased from 140 to 178 pounds.

answers the purpose every time."
