HOLMAN. medical science could do to restore the venerable congressman to conscious- ness had been done, but the efforts of the physicians to revive him Were in vain. He had been unconscious since yesterday morning. William S. Holman was born in Dear- born county, Ind., Sept. 6, 1822. He re- ceived a. common school education and studied at Franklin college, Indiana, for two years, after which he studied law and began its practice. He held numerous offices and in 1858 he was elected to the Thirty-sixth congress. His congressional career from that time to the present was almost unbroken. Mr. Holman gained the nicknames of “The Great Objector" and “Watchdog of the Treasury” from his invariable opposition to whatever he considered extravagance in appropriation bills. Throughout the war he was a friend of Lincoln and Stanton, and a. steadfast champion of the Union cause. IMPORTATION 0F TEA. Special Examiners to Compare Samples With Established Standards. Washington, April 23.—Under the re- cent act of congress in relation to the importation of tea, the treasury depart- ment has found it necessary to “sue new regulations. No duty is exacted upon tea and the sole object of the act was the'protection of the consumers from the sale of unwholesome and fraudulent teas. A board of tea. ex- perts, selected by the secretary, has established a line of standard samples representing the various grades of ad- missible teas. Especial tea. examiners are stationed at New York, Chicago . rand San Francisco, by whom all im— ported teas will be compared with the standards and prohibited teas con— demned. An appeal may be made by the importers to a board of three gen- eral appraisers, which board may pro- cure expert assistance. Condemned teas must be exported within six months or they will. be de- stroyed by the collector. Pending ex- amination the tea will be stored under bond. Teas destined for interior ports will be forwarded without delay, but samples will be sent for comparison to the tea examiner at the nearest port. 860,000 Fire In Infirmary College.

The remarkable cures accomplished in Norwalk during the last seven months are something to astonish and convince the most-skeptical.

People have suffered for years, and never dre amed they could get any relief by using anything and some daya friend sa}s: “California Catarrh Cure cured me, it will cure you, and you won’t have to wait to find out about it either. It relieves at once.” Here are the ‘ words of one of your neighbors now, telling 'why she believes in it. You know that it is true because you know her. Mrs. John Lycett 21 High street, Nor- walk, says: “My daughter, Violet, has been troubled since childhood with ca- tarrh, until her whole head seemed more or less diseased. She had begun to be a little deaf, and suffered much with severe . headaches so that we have had to keep her out of school a good deal. 'I sent.- her to Plaisted’s drug store, South Nor- walk after a bottle of California Ca- tarrh Cure and she commenced using it. Its beneficial effects have been simply wonderful. It has helped her from the first in every way. I have not heard her complain of a headache for a long time, and by the time she has finished her first bottle, Ifeel confident that She will be cured.” « Hay fever is entirely prevented by the use of this wonderful medicine, and when it is used colds never “hang on,” but disappear promptly.
