"GREATEST ON EARTH.” Dr. Mlles’ Restorative Nervine. Mr. R. T. Caldwell, is book-keeper In the First National Bank of Fulton, Ky. “I was completely run down. My nerves became so unstrung through loss of sleep and worry that I felt sure 1 would be compelled to give up tny position. I would lie IsSj Y R. T. Caldwell. to shake me up so that I could not possibly attend to my business as I should. In connection with this I had liver tremble, heaviness about the stomach, and pains in different parts of my body. I was also much reduced in flesh. I was persuaded to try Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine. 1 first procured a trial bottle from a local druggist and good results quickly followed. I then procured a dollar bottle, and by the time I had used this up I was a’different man. I am now on my third bottle and am able to sleep soundly and eat regularly, something I could not possibly do before taking your Nervine. I am now fully recovered, and do not hesitate to pronounce Dr. Miles' Restorative ' Nervine the greatest nervine on earth." Fulton, Ky. R. T. CALDWELL. Dr. Miles* Nervine is sold on a. positive guarantee that the first bottle will benefit. All druggists sell it at 81,6 bottles for $5, or It will be sent, prepaid, on receipt of price by the Dr. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind. Dr. Miles’ Nervine Re ffiJith Bold by all Druggists.

Gunderman, oLDiamondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this abstract: “I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King’sNew Discovery, as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. Whil--1 was pastor of the Baptist church at Rivers. Junction she was. brought with pneumonia succeeding lagrippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption aiid it seemed as if she could not survive them.

SILVER BILL PASSES Vote in the Senate Stands 42 For to 35 Against the Measure. RESULT NOT A GREAT SURPRISE Provides That the Mints Shall Be Open to the Coinage of Silver — Legislative A) Forecast For the Week — Proposed Vlcksbnrg National Military Park—-Mrs. t.reshaiu to Be Pensioned. Washington, Fob. 3. —The long drawn out contest over the silver substitute for the house bond bill ended late Saturday afternoon after a three hours' sharp debate, the measure passing the senate by a vote of 42 to 35. The result was almost a foregone conclusion and little excitement or surprise was occasioned by its passage. The bill provides that from the date of the act the mints of the United States shall be open to the coinage of silver, and that the. dollar shall be of the present weight and fineness. It also provides for the issue of certificates, for the coinage of the seigniorage now in the treasury, and authorizes the immediate issue of certificates on the same in advance of it being coined. One section of the bill provides that no bank note of less than $lO shall hereafter be issued, and those outstanding of less amount shall be taken up and cancelled as rapidly as possible. Section 4 provides that the greenbacks and treasury notes shall be redeemed iu standard silver dollars or in gold coin, at the option of the treasury, and the greenbacks, when so redeemed, shall be immediately reissued. LEGISLATIVE FORECAST. Work Cut Out For the House and Senate During the Week. Washington, Feb. 3.—The important features of the week’s proceedings in the house will be in connection with the resolution to censure Ambassador Bayard, adopted by the foreign affairs committee Saturday, and the senate free coinage substitute for the house bond bill. The * resolution censuring Mr. Bayard will probably precipitate an exciting contest on the floor, but will doubtless be adopted when it reaches a vote. When the free coinage substitute for the house bond bill is returned to the house an effort may be made by the silver men to concur in the substitute. Such ah attempt would be defeated, as the majority against silver in the loWer branch of congress is overwhelming, but it might be made in order to put the members on record. The bill will probably be immediately referred to the ways and menus committee and reported back with a recommendation that the senate substitute be nonconcurred in. It will then remain for the senate to request a conference. It is there that some of the members at each end of the capitol hope to effect a compromise, but the prevailing opinion is that the bill will die in conference. The senate has no well defined plan for this week’s proceedings. There is no session today. It is possible that the finance committee will be able to report the revenue tariff bill tomorrow, but the ’matter still depends upon Senator Jones of Nevada. If tfie bill should be reported there will probably be some desultory speechmaking, but the consideration of the measure’ would scarcely be seriously begun this week even though a report should be secured as promptly as is hoped by the friends of the bill. Appropriation’ bills will claim a good share of .the time, and the Cuban and Monroe doctrine resolutions are also on the calender, andean betaken up at any time. VICKSBURG IHUTARy, PARK. House Committee Recommends the I*ureha.w of Twelve Hundred Acres. Washington, Feb. 3.—The- bill providing for the I'stablishment of the Vicksburg national military park, where the. principal operations of the war in and around that city were carried on, . has been reported to the houseTrtpn the military affairs committee. The. whole amount of the land embraced in the proposed resHWation covers about 1,20 C acres.' the. cost of which is not to exceed $50,000. The .$25,000 additional which the bill proposes to’ appropriate will be used in making accurate surveys of the various lines of both the Union and confederate.armies, and, so far as possible, in restoring the various forts, redoubts- and entrenchments connected with that memorable siege. The entire plan and scope of the bill follows very closely upon that adopted in the establishment of the Chickamauga park, ex« ce.pt that the cost will be only a fraction of the amount devoted to that field. Pension Jb'or Mrs. Gresham. Washington. Feb. 3.—Mrs. Matilda Gresham, widow of the secretary of state, will probably be given a pension of $1,200 a year. Thewmate committee on pensions will make a report this week on the bill offered early in, December by -Senator Voorhees, providing a' pension -of $2,400 a year. It was referred to_ the. pension committee, and by the committee re-rotorred to Senator Palmer, whose report will recommend a pension of s;O',I a month, The-report will nmiiii': -tollable be adOptod.,” and Senator Voorhees expects the’bill to'pass.

$1,000,000 FIRE LOSS Philadelphia Buildings Destroyed by a Destructive Conflagration. ARE HEAVY LOSEfiS. Tnblicstion wnd Historical Societies Both Burned Out—Hubeili of the Hotel lu*f»y--ette Almost Panic Stricken -j. Mayor King and Party of Atlanta, the Liberty Bell Escort, Among Those Disturbed. Philapelphia, Feb. 8. — Chestnut street above Broadway was visited yesterday by one of the fiercest fires this city has known for years. The big 7-story building of Charles H. Haseltine and the adjoining 5-story structure of the Ajherican Baptist Publication society and the American Baptist Historical society were entirely destroyed. The buildings damaged by fire and water and the falling walls were the 4-story dry goods house of Homer, Le Bontiliere <fc Co., a dwelling house owned by the Wistar estate, and the Hotel Lafayette, at Broad and Sansom streets. On either side of the main entrance to the Haseltine building were the piano yvarerooifis of Hallet & Davis aud of Steinway & Co. The two Baptist societies lost large and valuable collections of paintings, books and curios. The detailed losses have not yet been made up, but a conservative estimate places the aggregate at near $2,000,000. There, yerc about 250 guests in the Hotel Lalayette, which is in the rear of the destroyed buildings. Among those were Porter King, mayor of Atlanta, and the others of his party, who escorted the liberty bell home. Olga Nethersole. the actress, and her party were also guests. While there was considerable confusion in the hotel the guests, barring a few fainting women, kept cool heads and were all removed in safety. Only the eighth and ninth floors of the hotel were burned, although the back part of the building from cellar to roof was damaged by smoke and water. The Lafayette’s patrons were all transferred to other hotels. It was shortly before 3 o’clock in the morning when policemen discovered fire in the rear of the Haseltine building, which reached dangerously near to the back of the hotel building. An alarm was struck immediately, but before the first engines could reach the scene a strong west wind had carried the flames throughout the entire building. A dozen lines of hose were turned on the GJiestnut street front, but the light wiljod and paper whith stocked the second, third and fourth floors was easy food for the flames. The upper part of the Bjiilding was known as the Haseltine art galleries. Many leading artists had there, aud the art collection stored Under the roof aggrogated in value thoas&iils of ’dollars. The walks soon began t| collapse, and the flames spread on the least to Homer, Le Bontilier & 00., and on the west to the Baptist Publicitiojf society. A general alarm was in, and the firemen directed most energies to prevent the destrucJon of the entire block, which was for a /line threatened. The upper portion of the Hotel Lafayette was ignited by sparks flying from the burning building on Chestnut street, but the blaze was confined to the eighth and ninth floors. Among the guests of the hotel was Jennie Steele of Terre Haute. Ind. The fire was not controlled until long after daybreak,'and lines of hose were still (playing upon it last night. i The Haseltine building was valued at $300,000, and Was fully insured. The loss on paintings on second floor is between $300,000 and $400,000, uninsured. Among those destroyed were two by G. H. Selous, .valued at $30,(/00 each, and one by Roberts-Fleury, valued at $lO,(XX). There were 39 offices in the. building, occupied .mainly by artists, la wyers and dentists ’ Drs. Edwards and Curry, dentists, lost a collection of South American curios valued at $10,000; partly insured. The valuable stock of pianos in the store on the first floor was.destroyed r but the amount of this loss has not yi‘t been estimated. The publishing society house was valued at s t(IO,OtX); insured. The historicial society losses 10.000 volumes, valued at $200,000; insured for $25,000, The looses on the Homer, Le Bontilier & Co. and Hotel Lafayette buildings have not yet been approximated. The origion of the fire is unknown. JUSTIN M'CARTHY'S PLANS. Will Resign the Leadership of the Irish Parliamentary Party. London, Feb. 3.—lt is announced that Justin McCarthy will resign the leadership of the Irish parliamentary party at the meeting of the party which has been called for next Saturday. When questioned regarding this report, Mr. McCarthy admitted that it was his intention to resign, but he declined to give any details.
