Great Majority of the Men Who "Went Out in Sympathy Have Returned to "Work No Spinners Strike. BOSTON, March 15. The labor situation In this city, alter a week of agitation and anxiety, Is .gradually assuming normal conditions, and at the close of business today the great majority of freight hand lers, teamsters and expressmen, who joined out of sympathy the strike of the freight handlers of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Wednesday and Thursday, had returned to work. As announced by Governor Crane just before leaving the Statehouse tonight, the dis position of all parties Is to allow a rea sonable time to adjust matters, and in the meantime to be patient. Much to the sat isfaction of the business community. freight began to move today, and much work was accomplished In relieving the congestion of freight at the different dis trlbuting points. The State Board of Arbitration Issued the following statement: "The strike condition continues to Im prove. The coal people are working, with few exceptions. The Clyde Steamship Company will take back all Its men as soon as the ships arrive. One Is expected tomorrow. The Metropolitan Steamship Company has 54 of Its men at work, and will take many more later. Nine-tenths of the general teamsters are at work. ' To add to the general satisfaction over the labor situation In Boston came the word late this afternoon that a labor war In the mills of Fall River had been avert ed so that the week closed with something like peace in the old Bay State. The work of reinstatement, which, through the Governor, began yesterday, continued today, but In a greater de gree. Of the S00 men of the Boston & Maine road who struck Wednesday, 750 were offered their old positions by Presi dent Tuttle this morning, and he also stated that the remainder would be taken care of in a short time. The same disposl. tion was shown at the Boston & Albany offices, where arrangements were made to take back the old men at their former wages and at the same time have their "work in no way conflict with the new men, who are all non-union. This was also acceptable to the labor organizations, and this afternoon the men began to re port for duty. The fact that the general teamsters were at work made it Impera tive that the railroads should complete their laboring forces, as a great amount of merchandise Is now being collected all over the? city and hauled to the freight houses. All the coal teamsters were at work to day, as well as the piano-movers and the wool handlers. The lumber-yards, how ever, continued closed, and those old men who sought their places practically found themselves locked out. The dealers, how ever, announced that the yards would open again Monday, and that nearly all the men will be taken back In accordance with the Governor's suggestion. There was a little flurry this morning among the striking men. when, upon re turning to their old offices, they found that at present their services were not required. The men rushed back to their headquarters, and for a while Indulged in heated debate, but the counsel of lead ers prevailed, and the men decided to bo patient; The day closed with a feeling of relief that the worst was over and that Monday would Fee a general resumption of business. The New York. New Haven & Hart ford freight handlers voted tonight to re turn to work Monday morning under the old rules of the road, trusting to the good offices of Governor Crane to bring about a change later.

Made to smoke, and every one- & good smoke. Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.: Gentlemen In justice to you, I feel it is my duty to send yotf an acknowledgment of the receipt of the sample bottle of Swamp-Root you so kindlv sent me. I had been out of health for the past five years with kidnev and bladder trouble. Had our best physicians prescribe for me. They would relieve me for the time being, but the old complaint would in a short time return again. I sent for a sample bottle of Swamp-Root, and I found it'did me4 a world of good. Since then I have taken eight small bot tles bought at my drug store, and I consider myself perfectly cured. It seemed as though my back would break in two after stooping. I do not have the smarting and irritation, nor do I have to get up during the night to urinate, as I formerly did three, or four times a night, but now sleep the sleep of peace. My back is all right again, and in ever)' way I am a new man. Two of my brother officers are still using Swamp-Root. They, like myself, cannot say too much in praise of it It is a boon to mankind. We recommend it to all who are suffering from kidney and bladder diseases.

BUSY DAY IM THE HOUSE TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINE PEXSIOX BILLS PASSED. Largest Xumber Ever Disposed Of at One Session Miner Corrects & Published Statement. WASHINGTON, March 15. The Houso devoted today to private pension bills, passing 229 bills and clearing the calen dar. This is the largest number of pen sion bills ever passed by the House at one session. A resolution was adopted calling upon the War Department for Information con cerning the Government transport service between San Francisco and the Philip pines. Late In the day. Miner (Rep. "Wis.), ris ing to a question of personal privilege, denounced a published statement regard ing the Speaker and himself as false. Speaker Henderson also stated that there Is not a shadow of truth In the article. The Proceedings. "When the blouse met. Parker (Rep. N. J.) reported back from the committee on military affairs the resolution Introduced by Richardson, the Democratic leader, a few days ago, calling upon the Secretary of "War for the reports of certain Army officers who examined Into the transport service between San Francisco and Ma nila with tho recommendation that a sub stitute be adopted which calls for the facts relative to thlf transport service instead of tho reports. Parker explained that re ports were necessarily confidential, and contained In many cases freely expressed opinions which It might be unwise to make in Two Minutes There will be another car. But the man can't wait. He chases the car and swings on, panting and hot, but satisfied. He keeps this gait up all day. He works that way, he lunches that way. He contin ues this until .his stomach "breaks down" and nature compels him to ngo slow." Business men who have impaired their digestion by hasty eating will find in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery a cure for dyspepsia and other diseases of the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition. It does not give mere temporary relief, but it effects a radical cure. It strengthens the stomach, nour ishes the nerves and purifies the blood.

Richardson eald that, whllo he would have preferred the reports called for In his original resolution, he would be sat isfied with tho substitute if it elicits tho facts, as he is assured It would. He la the more disposed to accept the substitute aa. the Senate has already adopted a reso lution almost identical with that intro duced by him. If Congress gets the facts relative to the transport service, he said, he believes the country will receive a chapter of very Interesting reading. The resolution was adopted without division. Tho House then went into committee of the whole and proceeded to the considera tion of private pension bills. In all, 229 bills were passed. A message from the President was received returning the bill restoring Edward KIrschner to, the Navy for technical correction. Miner (Rep. "Wis.) then rose to a ques tion of personal privilege. He sent to the clerk's desk and had read a "Washington dispatch in a Cincinnati newspaper to tho effect that ho (Miner) had changed his po sition on the shipping bill, and on the Cuban tariff question, because of the Speaker's Intention to advance a local rev enuo cutter measure In which the Wiscon sin Representative Is Interested. Miner followed tho reading with a statement de nouncing the article as absolutely and un qualifiedly false. Never, by act, word, deed or Intimation, he Bald, had the Speak er attempted to change Miner's position relative to the Cuban question. Speaker Henderson added that so far as tho article referred to him, the aver ments made by Miner are absolutely true, as there is not a word or shadow of truth In any statement made In It. Immediately following this Incident, the House, at 3:30 P. M., adjourned. Captain Crownlnshlcld Promoted. WASHINGTON, March 15.

The conferees remained in session until 5 P. M. Chair man Payne, who had been designated to ABOUT CATARRH CURES The Reason Why Inhalers and Local Applications are Useless. For many years catarrh was considered to be a local disease and was treated en tirely by local remedies, salves, ointments, powders sprays and Inhalers, and nearly all of these gave a temporary relief, but a genulno permanent cure was very rare. It is true the most annoying symptoms, like stoppage of the nose and throat trouble, are purely local, but they are simply symptoms and the real seat of dis ease Is far removed. Catarrh Is a constitutional disease, a blood disorder, complicated usually with disease of the Hyer and to suppose that local applications of sprays, powders, In halers, could ever reach tho real cause of the trouble is ridiculous. The sensible and successful treatment is to remove the catarrhal poison from the system by regulating the liver and puri fying the blood, ' and this can only be done by an Internal remedy, which should consist of antiseptics and remedies to act vigorously on the blood and liver. The best preparation of this kind which fills all the requirements of a safe con stitutional treatment Is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, composed of blood root, red gum and similar wholesome antiseptics, which are absolutely safe to take Into the stom ach nnd which act upon the liver, stomach and mucous membrane. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large pleas ant tasting lozenges to be slowly dissolved In the mouth, thus reaching the mucous membrane and windpipe and finally reach ing the ritomach. Dr Edmondson, in speaking of the new treatment for catarrh, says: "I have ac complished the most satisfactory results In all forms of catarrh of the head, throat, bronchial tubes, as well as catarrh of the stomach and liver by using nothing else but Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. I long since threw aside sprays and inhalers as being inconvenient and at tho best mere temporary make-shifts. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets act immediately upon the liver and blood and clear the whole system of catarrhal poison. They are pleasant and very convenient to use, and they aro not only the latest, but I be lieve them to be the best and certainly the safest treatment for any form of catarrh." All druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets at 50 cents lor full-sized package. A little book on cause and cure of ca tarrh mailed free by addressing the F. A. Stuart Company, Marshall, Mich. To ono not scientifically familiar with the causes of disease and disease symp toms, it may seem that the wonderful Copeland treatment covers too many of them; that too much Is claimed for It; that It resembles In this respect the pat ent "cure-alls" to be purchased by the gallon at drug stores'. The people have had a surfeit of these marvelous balms, lotions and concoctions that arc heralded, as sovereign remedies for ail the ills flesh Is heir to. They want no more "cure alls." Nor do they want to entrust their health to tho reckless dosing of quack doctors. The thousands of published statements of reputable and well-known, persons old and young, men and women who have been cured of all the troubles enumerated above by the skill of the Copeland physicians, should be as con vincing as a decree of court, even to ono unfamiliar with tho nature of those dis eases, while those who know that the root of these troubles Is catarrh, and that the secret of the wonderful accomplishments of the Copeland physicians Is their special skill In the treatment and cure of that dread enemy of the human race, are In no danger, even without this multitude of witnesses, of confounding th Copeland treatment with anything that has even ' a suspicion of quackery about It. The facts are that the Copeland treatment cures, that thousands today en joy restored health and hearing through the skill of tho Copeland physicians, awl that this treatment Is brought within easy reach of tho masses by tho merely; nominal fee of $5 a month, all medicines included.
