TARIFF HEARINGS.
Tariff hearings are now rapidly
progressive before the Ways and
Means Committee. Hon. Oscar
W. Underwood of Alabama, chair
Ban of this committee, announces
that the hearings will terminate on
January 31, and then the commit
tee will settle down to prepare the
bill which will be presented to Con
gress on the assembling of the ex
tra session which it is understood
will be called by President Wilson
probably about the middle of
March.
BUSINESS UNDISTUBED.
The country is showing the ut
most confidence in the ability and
judgment of the Democrats in re
vising the tariff downward in ac
cordance with the Democratic
pledges and the usual business
check occasioned by tariff legisla
tion has not been noticed this year
and it does not seem that there
will be the slightest check to our
present prosperity by reason of the
Democratic tariff bill. On the
other hand industries are showing
unusual activity in all lines, and
when the bill becomes a law all
business will be helped.
PROGRESSIVES NOW CONTROL SENATE.
Ever since the election of Wood
row Wilson, a contest has been go
ing on among the Democrats in
the Senate for the control of its
policies. The progressive Demo
crats whose number will be in
creased by those to be chosen from
various states this month have
now gained control of the Demo
cratic caucus.
Hereafter instead of assigning
the Democratic members to the
various Senate committees by the
chairman of the caucus they will
be chosen by a "Committee cn
Committees" so that "one man
power" will no longer prevail, but
the same method as was adopted
by the Democratic House will be
the rule. The progressives have
had the unfaltering support of
President-elect Wilson and this
has enabled them to triumph over
the leadership of the Conserva
tives. Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, Thos. P. Gore, the blind
Senator from Oklahoma, Luke Lea,
of Tennessee, Senator Stone, of
Missouri, and Senator Pomerene.
of Ohio, have been active partici
pants in this fight for wresting the
Senate from the hands of the non-.
progressives.

CAPTURE GIANT SEA-COW
Master Taken by Fishermen Weighs
3,000 Pounds and is Twelve
Feet Long.
Point Isabel, Tex.—Mexican fisher
men had an exciting encounter with a
manatee, a giant sea-cow, in the shal
low water of the Laguna Madre near
here recently. It was captured only
after one of the men, Ramon Rodri
guez, had been seriously hurt by one
of its flippers.
The creature was 12 feet long and
weighed more than 3,000 pounds. It is
being kept alive and promises to sur
vive for some time.
The sea-cow is supposed to have
come up from the more southern wa
ters of the gulf. It entered the Lagu
na Madre at the pass which separates
the island from the mainland and was
3een by the fishermen struggling in a
shallow part of the strip of water.
A boat with three men went out to
capture it. When the'* got close to it
Rodriguez climbed out of the boat and
attempted to put a rope around the
manatee's fins and was knocked un
conscious by a blow’ from one of its
flippers. He would have drowned bad
he not been dragged into the boat by
his companions. The rope was finally
fastened and the manatee was towed
ashore. It is the second of its kind
captured in the Laguna Madre in the
tast few weeks.
These animals are quite numerous
tlong the const 150 to 200 miles south
jf here. They are adapted to both salt
and fresh w’ater. A strange feature of
their appearance in the waters along
'he coast is that they are usually ae
"ompnnied by a school of sea devils,
treat Reo monsters frequently weigh
ing as much as 4,500 pounds each. One
of them when harpooned has been
known to drag 20 bonis, hitched tan
dem, each carrying tw’0 men.
Such an experience came twm or
three years ago at Aransas Pass to a
party of fishermen, among whom were
lohn W. Robbls, then state treasurer;
W. G. Sterrett, present state game,
fish and oyster commissioner, and J.
W. Maxwell of Austin, a noted big
game hunter and fisherman. They
were fishing just off the little town of
Tarpon when a sea devil of extraordi
nary size came to the surface near
one of the boats. A boatman sank a
harpoon deep into its body, the har
poon being secured to the boat by a
line. The sea devil made off at light
ning speed. As the boat to which it
was attached passed the boats each
threw a line, and 20 other boats, carry
ing 40 men, were towed by the giant
animal. They had stuck to it for six
hours, when It headed out toward the
ocean. Then the men raised the sig
nal of distress and a life-saving crew
on Harbor island rowed out and shot
the monster.
RATS ATTACK BABY IN CRIB
Six-Months-Old Infant Bitten and
Gnawed During Mother's
Absence.
Philadelphia.—Left alone by his
mother all afternoon and evening, six
months-old Frederick Ilrogden, colored,
was attacked by rats as he lay in a
crib at his parents' home, 229 South
Warwick street.
The puny struggle the infant was
able to make proved to be little pro
jection against the vicious rodents and
when the mother, Mrs. Mary B. Brog
den, finally did return she found her
baby with the ends of five of his fin
gers chewed off, both ears gnawed, and
his body lacerated by the teeth of the
rats, several of which jumped from the
crib and scampered across the floor as
she entered the room.
Mrs. Brogden's cries attracted the
attention of neighbors, who, on learn
ing what had happened, summoned an
ambulance and ia it the Infant, semi
conscious from pain and los« of blood,
and in a serious condition from shock,
was removed to the .JefTerson hospital,
where it was said he would recover.
BEARS DEVOUR DEAD SAILORS
Revenue Cutter Fails to Find Bodies
Left on Island Off Alaskan
Coast.
Cordova. Alaska.—The revenue cut- j
ter Manning arrived from the wreck j
of the lighthouse tender Armeria, near '
Cape Minchibrook, bringing $20,000 j
worth of the Armeria’s cargo, consist- j
ing principally of supplies intended j
for the lighthouses along the south
western coast. The Manning landed
five men on Montague island, Where
the barge Hayden Brown was lost, but
they were unable to find the two
bodies left there by August Palmer,
the sole survivor of the barge. It is
believed that Kodiak bears, seen by
Palmer, carried the bodies into the
wmods.
BLAMES GLASSES UPON CAPS
Doctor Says Freshmen's Practice In

Ithaca, X. Y.—Dr. Melven Dressbach
of Cornell has compiled figures by
which he shows that 27 per cent, of
the men at Cornell wear glasses. He
labels the habit of making the fresh
men year little caps without any
visors as a vicious habit and declares
it should be abandoned as the caps I
furnish no protection to the eyes from
the sun.

LINIMENT
In the Right Remedy for All
Abrasions of the Flesh.
If the wound is cleansed and
the liniment applied promptly,
the healing process begins at
once and tlie wound heals from
the inside outwardly, thus per
forming a p< rfect cure that
leaves no scar. If the wound
heals on the outside too quick
ly, CU3 forms under the sur
face and breaks out into a run
ning' sore that Is hard to cure
and inevitably leaves a bad
scar.
Owners of blooded stock pre
fer this liniment to all others
for that reason, and they use it
not onlv on fine animals, but
on human flesh, as it does its
[ work quickly and thoroughly.

ONCE NOTED BEAUTY IS ILL
Jean Duff, Tubercular, Sent Back to
Native Honolulu by People of
Philadelphia.
Philadelphia—The three Hawaiian
children of Jean Duff, once world fa
mous as an artist’s model, will give a
Honolulu j-ard party and many of the
most fashionable people in Philadel
phia will be present to hear the music
of the guitars and the Ukole’.e and buy
beads which the children will sell to
help take their father and mother back
to Honolulu and into the sunshine of
the Pacific isles.
Jean Duff has contracted consump
tion from her Kanaka husband and
doctors say that the only hope of sav
ing their lives re.-ts in an immediate
return to the Hawaiian islands. In
her youth in Philadelphia, Jean Duff,
child model and the idol of the artists,
was ‘Little Mother” to ten other chil
dren. They grew up and passed from
her charge and all forgot the good
hearted little girl who had cherished
them. Society lost track of Jean Dufi.
when she wont to the west and trav
eled on the stage.
After her marriage in Hawaii she
returned here with her husband, Klah
lili, and a baby. Two children were
born later and the family earned theii
livelihood by giving Hawaiian music.
Jean suppressed her identity, which
was only learned when a physician,
who was called to attend her, found a
weak, emaciated shadow of the fa
molts young beauty. The doctor re
memhered her face at a glance and
Philadelphia society resolved to help
Jean and her little n*es by the yard
party, which will be typically Ha
waiian.
PRAYER BOOK RARE RELIC
Lawrenceburg, Tenn., Woman Has
Manual Blessed by Pope Urban
VIII.—Was Printed in 1647.
Bristol, Tenn.—A rare relic of an
tiqulty possessed by Mrs. J. H. Caruth
ers of Lawrenceburg, Tenn., is a Ger
man Catholic prayer book which was
printed in 1617 with the approval of
Pope Urban VIII. The lids are of
woed and this accounts for the excel
lent state of preservation of the book
at this late day.
Although many of the pages are
worn, most of the type is still distinct
and clear. This relic came to Mrs.
Caruthers through her father, Conrad
French, who died twenty years ago.
He came into its possession through a
relative who was a soldier in the army
of Napoleon, the latter having received
it from a friend. Frietch brought the
book with him when he came to this
country a half a century ago.
