Judge William Henry DeWitt is one
of the most prominent lawyers land
judges in East Tennessee. He is a
leading member of the Southern
Methodist church in Chattanooga. In
legal business and social circles he
stands high, and his statements, says
the Chattanooga Press, are_regarded of
special weight because of his venerable
character, he being now 67 _years old.
He has held several prominent posi-
tions in a legislative and Judicial
capacity, having served as a member of
the Southern COngress at Richmond
during the war, and since that time as
J udgc of the Chancery Court, one Iof
the highest offices in Judicial practice
next to the Supreme Court.
He was admitted to the bar in 1850.
In 1855 he was elected to the State
Legislature, but declined a re-election.
After his removal to East Tennessee
he was appointed special chancelor by
Gov. Taylor and filled the allies for_two
years. He has successfully practiced
before the Supreme Court of the United
States for vears.
In recent years, owing to the heavy
work he has performed, he has been
subject to nervovsness, and. his atten-
tion has been called at various times,
both by friends and physicians, to the
need of fortifying himself -against
physical collapse. His attention was
called to Paine’s celery compound as a

tained this valuable aid, and to friends
he recommended the use of the remedy
for shattered nerves. ' _ _
Overheating his conversatioma friend
asked him to write down his experience
for the use of others so afl‘licted. In
response he wrote as follows :
“Dear Sir—In obedience to your re-
quest, I state some of my personal
knowledge of the vaule of Paine’s cel-
ery compound as a medical remedy for
certain afflictions anddiseases, as fol-
lows, namely: . '
“Judging from my own experience,
it is a first-class remedy to restore the
nervous system when broken down or
impaired from overwork of mind or
body, revivifying the energies. It
strengthens the digestive powers and
cures costiveness; truly it, is a great
nerve tonic, a good alterative, a splendid
diuretic. It is-good for the kidneys
and the blood, renews vitality, and
restores strength. It surpasses any-
thing I have used as a health renewer,
a strength giver, and system regulator.
It quiets weak nerves, gives better rest,
increases both appetite and digestion,
and' brings back lost power of balmy
sleep, nature’s sweet restorer. -
, Yours truly,
- William Henry DeWitt.” ~

SILVER LEADERS Disnesns.
Senator Stewart \Vanted on Amendment to
\Volcott's International Conference
Resolution, \Vhlch Was Eur-
nestly Opposed.
WASHINGTON, March 1.—-Lucien Baker,
the new senator elect from Kansas, was on
the floor of the senate for the first time to-
day and was introduced to his associates
by Mr. Martin, whom he succeeds.
Mr. Gallinger briefly addressed the sen-
ate at the opening of the session today in
favor of a plan presented by the Daughters
of the Revolution that a copy of the Decla-
ration of Independence .be conspicuously
displayed in every postofiice. -
The deficiency appropriation bill was re-
ported by Mr. Cockrell,‘ leaving one bill—
the naval—remaining before the appoprin-
tions committee. Consideration of the sun-
dry civil bill was then resumed. Mr. Pet-
tigrew Ofiered an amendment appropriatc
lug $300,000 for seed for the drought suf-
ferers of the northwest.
After a short debate the
was agreed to—32 to 17. - -
Mr. Bate (Dem., .Tenn.) urged an amend-
_ment of $125,000 for government partici?
pation in the Tennessee state centennial in
1896. ,
Mr. Hour (Rep, Mass.) ironically asked
Mr. Bate for the constitutional authority
for this appropriation. ~
Mr. Bate said it was the same authority
that gave government aid to the World’s
fair at Chicago and to the Cotton States
exposition at Atlanta.
Mr. Harris (Dem., Tenn.) said that
whatever the constitutional right was the
government had already adopted the policy
of national aid to the expositions. Mr.
Hoar again urged his constitutional query.
this time to Mr. Harris, who replied, “If
the senator from Massachusetts will meet
me here on the Fourth of July, Iwill give
him a lecture on the constitution that will
serve him the balance of his life.” Amid
the laughter Mr. Hoar responded that Mr.
Harris had invariably denounced such ap-
propriations, but now that the appropria-
tion was for his own state he seemed to
share the sentiment of another states-
man (Representative Tim Campbell, N.
Y.), “ What does the constitution amount
to among friends?” '
A point of order against the amendment
made by Mr. Cockrell was submitted to
the senate, and the appropriation was sus.
trained—33 to 15.
ltIr. Hoar \Vas Facetious Too.
Mr. Hoar stated during the call that he
withheld his vote “until the Fourth of
July, ”
Mr. Carey (Rep, Wy.) secured an amend-
ment refunding the amount over $1.25
paid for entries under the desert land laws
when the lands are within railroad grants.
,Mr. Stewart (Pop, Nev.) moved to re-
consider the amendment already adopted
for participation by the United States in
an international monetary conference.
He said France was the only European
country in a position to participate in such
a conference with any prospect of fairness
to silver. Great Britain already had her
amendment
‘ Zratio. between the 'metals, and Germany.
A cOnference would.
could readily do so.
only result in another blow at silver. He
therefore proposed an amendment to the
proposition, instructing the United States
dgle‘gates not to agree to any ratio short of
1 to 1.
Mr. Wolcott (Rep, Colo.) said he great-
» ly regretted this division of opinion among
senators from the silver states who had so
long ’ stood together. Nothing but good
could come from this international Confer-
ence. ' The United States delegates could
not bind this country. Their work would
be simply advisory, and they would report
to congress. The senator from Nevada
(Stewart) declared this was “a scheme of
the goldbugs. ” Was he forgetting the
gallant fight of the friends of silver the
world over which had just culminated in
success before the British parliament and
the German reichstag in favor of an inter-
national conference.
France Also Moving“.
France, too. was taking the initiative.
Success was almost at hand. It was the
, work of the friends of silver throughout
theworld. Were the friends of silver to
pause at such a moment of success? The
senator declared himself for American bi-
metallism, but if the nations of the world
united in offering the greatest advantage
to silver it had received since its demone-
tization it would be criminal to cast it
aside. Turning to Mr. Stewart, Mr. Wol-
cott said he had observed for months the
haggard, worn and anxious faces of men
who wandered through the capitol vainly
urging claims which would never be al-
lowed, and he feared there were those
among the friends of silver who wandered
in the same determined yet hopeless way
toward what they could never attain, and
which perhaps they did not wish to attain
except in their own way, as then “their
occupation would be gone.” _
.. As Mr. Wolcott closed his vigorous
speech there was a burst of applause from
the galleries, which the vice president
checked by rapping the gavel and giving
a sharp admonition.
Mr. Stewart again took the floor, de-
nOuncing the'ponference as a. “trade with
our oppressors.‘"’ Whatever others might
do, he would never consent to such a
scheme. We ought to know that any
agreement in which Germany and Great
Britain joined meant the end of silver.
The Stewart motion to reconsider was
defeated—yeas, 9; nays, 52. The affirma-
tive vote was as follows: Allen, Black-
burn, Call, Cockrell, Kyle, Martin, Peffer,
Pugh and Stewart. The negative vote in-
clpded many leading silver men, such as
leler, Jones (Ark. ), George, Wolcott,
Cameron and others.
In the House".
There was a large attendance on the floor
when the house met today. The 54 bills
passed by the senate on Tuesday night were
disposed of.
A motion by Mr. Hitt to concur in the
matic bill was lost—115 to 50.
The Bering Sea. Claim.
WASHINGTON, March 1. —Tho senate com-
mittee on appropriation did not include in
the deficiency bill the appropriation of
$425,000 for paying the claims of Cana-
dians sealers. It is expected that the
, amendment will be ofiered in the senate.
.. Austria-Hungary Will Accept.

that Austria-Hungary will accept; an in-

He Says He Is Not Connected With the
Binghamton Bank Failures.
. . ‘ALBANY, March 1.-—Senator Guy’s reso-V
lutions calling for a senate probe into the
alleged political shield being given the
guilty parties in the Binghamton bank
failures were not introduced today in the
senate, but Senator O’Connor arose to a
question of personal privilege in connec—
tion with the published reports...
“I would not call 5‘ tuition to these
things were it not for in, position as lead-
er of the majority, ” said he. ‘,‘The article
says I am ocunsel for the receiver of the
Chenango Valley Savings bank, and that
I prevented the district attorney from in-
vestigating the failure of that bank. The
situation in point of fact is this:
“The Merchants’ bank of Binghaiiiton
failed. and Colonel G. W. Dunn was ap-
pointed receiver. I am not -his counsel
and have not been and have nothing to do

“The Chenango Valley Savings bank
and the Broome County National bank
are in charge respectively of the state and
national bank examiners.
. “At the last session of the grand jury
the Chenango bank examiner told the dis-
trict attorney the night before the jury ad-
journed that he wanted to lay the facts of
the case of the Chenango bank before it.
“District Attorney Painter told him
then that he wanted time to examine the
case and see what the charges were before
he laid them before the grand jury.
. "I understand now that charges have
been made against the district attorney by
a man who was a former resident of Bing-
hamton, who has connection now with
newspapers here in Albany. This man had

ier of that bank, and he takes this means

TACOMA. March 1. —- In the federal
court the jury has returned a verdict for
$24,276 in favor of Mrs. Cora Dixon
against the Provident Savings Life As-

pany gave notice as required by the New
York statute that the payments were due
and nonpayment would forfeit the policy.
The court and jury held such notices were
not given.

two weeks ago, has recovered his reason in
Chicago and started'for home. He started.
