The train slowed up. and a brakeman jumped off, shouting, as he ran along the platform: "What are you flagging us for? This Is not No. 19.” "How was I to know that?” ^ked the school teacher. “You are running on No. 19's time.” The Avon professor had flagged the prince’s train, and the royal traveler was whisked away before Mr. Kirby remembered that he should have taken off his bat.

TWO 4N THE SENATE, ONE IN THE HOUSE.

WAR TAXES ARE NOT NEEDED

People May Put $70,000,000 In Their Jeans — Anti-Anarchist and River and Harbor Bills Passed.

WASHINGTON. March 22 -Three measures of vast importance to the people were acted upon yesterday. The Senate passed the-war revenue repeal bill, which relieves the people of about $70,000,000 of taxes annuallj'. This bill already had been passed by the House. All of the distinctive war revenue taxation Is wiped out, except the special tax oil bucketsbops, which is to be retained purely as a police measure. The differences between the two Houses arb not at all radical, so the revenue repeal bill will become a law within a short time The Senate also passed the bill for the protection of the President. This measure was passed by a vote of 52 to 15, those in the opposition being almost exclusively the strict construction Democrats, reinforced by Mr. McCumber, the only Republican who voted against Jhe bill, while a large percentage of Democrats, including Cockrell, Clark of Montana, Foster of Louisiana, Vest of Missouri. Heltfeld of Idaho, and Martin of Virginia, voted with the Republicans. While the Senate was so busily engaged the House was employed In rushing through the river and harbor bill, which was passed finally without the necessity of a record vote. B B • The Bill Carries Sixty Million. The bill for the protection of the President provides that any person within the limits of the United States or in any place subject to the Jurisdiction of this couiftry, who shall kill or cause the death of the President, the Vice-President, or any person in line of succession to the presidency, or who shall cause the death of the chief magistrate of any foreign country, shall be punished with death. Special provision is also made that any person who has conspired to commit any crime of murder of any sovereign may be Indicted and convicted separately, even although the other persons to the conspiracy may not be punished at all. • • • ' ' Arming the Secret Corps. One of the moat striking features of the bill Is the provision for arming the secret corps designed for the especial protection of the President. Section 7 of the bill reads as follows: "That the Secretary of War is authorized and directed to select and detail from the regular army a sufficient number of otRcers and men to guard and protect the pm’son of the President of the United States without any unnecessary display. "And the SecretaiY of War Is authorized and directed to make special rules and regulations as to dress, arms, equipment and duties of said guard, and shall publish only such parts of said rules and regulations as he may deem proper That the additional expenses of such guard so detailed shall be paid out of the Treasury on accounts to oe certified by the Secretary of War to the Secretary of the Treasury.” • • • Washington Squibs. The Senate committee on mining has made a favorable report on the House bill for the protection of miners to the Territories, amending the bill so as to avoid the requirements for the use of shotfirers In lighting Jlres and Inserting in Its place q requirement that the dust in mines shall be settled by the use of water or carried out of the mine. • • • Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, has sent to the Senate a protest against the "conspiracy” or antl-lnjunctlon bill, as reported to the Senate on the 17th Inst., by the committee on judiciary. He says that the labor mtcrests would prefer the defeat of the bill as amended to its passage. He, however, asks that the original bill be favorably acted upon. B B B The House committee on naval affairs will hear the labor interests on April 2, on the plan of building warships in Government navy yards.

The best evidence of J the cost of natural gas at 50 cents a thou-1 sand cubic feet for cooking is the gas bills [ themselves. I In the first column of the > table are the bills paid by * Ernest P. Bicknell, superintendent of the Bureau of Charities of Chicago, and i formerly secretary of the Indiana State Board of Charities. He says that he uses his grate rax^y for the reason that the steam heat is sufficient. | For Light Housekeeping. i Another point in connection with hla { bills for the summer of 1901 Is that he J and his family were out of the city, and • a young married couple doing light housekeeping 'had charge of the house. Mi. ' Btcknell says there a as no diminution of! pressure in the coldest of this winter and | he used to bo entertained In readllto to \ the Indlanapolla^papers of the shortage, of natural gas In Indianapolis. ‘ Mr. Bicknell has four children. Including the servant, the family consists _ Of seven. He lives In an eight-room residence at No 5 -Woodland Park. The following table shows bills for various months, but to some cases the bills were rendered a few days before or a few days after the first of a month:

I want to know a man or woman who needs htitp. Just a postal will do, for no m9ney is wanted. Tell me which hook I shall send. Let me explain a treatment which I spent a Utetinie In learning; a treatment so effective that 1 let any sick one taka It at my risk. I accept not a penny If It fftila.

With the book I will mall an order on your druggist for six bottles Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. I will authorise him to let you take it for a month. The cost Is only $5.60, if It saoceeds, and X will pay the druggist myself if It falls. I will leave the decision with you.

That is a remarkable offer, and tbe fact that I make it ought to convince you that I know how to cure. No matter how difficult your case, mine ie the e nllre risk. X pay the bill if I fall. And sometimes 1 must fall, for there are causes, like cancer, which no man can cure. But my records, covering over flOO.OOO cases, show that $9 out of each 40 who get those six bottles pay. That means that 33 to each 40 get weU.

This Is the secret of my success:— I have found the one treatment that strengthens the Inside nerves. When an organ Is weak, 1 don’t doctor ^he symptonss; 1 don’t treat tbe organ at all. But r bring back the nerve power which alone makes that organ act. When an engine Is weak, you don't doctor the engine; you give it more steam. X do just the same with a weak vital organ; I give it more nerve power. Any organ will do its duty when It has sufficient nerve power, but never without It. Most chronic diseases Ttnust be cured In my way.

In counting the ooet It should be un-' derstood that the cooking ranges in use in Chicago send out very little heat and | kitchens must get warmth from some other source. In many cases, ' perhaps ] generally, the ranges are used In flats heated by steam or hot air from the ■

basement.

In Large Residences. I In large residences, owners of which

have plenty ot money, are good livers and do not pay a great deal of aftentlon to bills, the cost of natural gas for cooking runs up to $4 or $5 a month. A man who owns a ten-room stone-front, has a family of eight and keeps a servant, said his natural gas bills for cooking are

about $350 a month.

In Chicago manufactured gas at $1 a thousand cubic feet is also used for cooking. In the last few years about 75,000

He said the pressure was strong enough at all times, but he believed tlA now and then manufactured gas was fidxed with

natural.

Others said tbe pressure was not sufficient in the coldest weather. A janitor of a flat said he had to use coal In zero weather from 7 to 11 In the morning. The gas company attributes the shortage to poor heating appliances, or something of

When It comes to considering the cost of natural gas by meter for heating purposes, one finds that Chicago conditions do not afford a good bdsls for comparison with IndianapoUs. The typical residence May to Indianapolis is a frame, two-story, with good-sized lawn, while In Chicago it is a stone front and brick, or all brick, in the districts reached by natural gas. On an average the houses In Chicago, to which natural gas is used, are probably more warmly built than Indianapolis

houses. -

Compared with Hard Coal. There is not much difference In Chicago between the cost of hard coal and natural gas for heating residences by means of a furnace or boiler. Natural gas for boilers and furnaces costs 30 cents a thou-

sand cubic feet net.

Tbe views of property owners vary somewhat There are those who maintain that natural gas is more expensive than hord coal for heating, while there
