The whole body and brain are dependent for health and life upon the orderliness and completeness of the pro? cesses which go on in the stomach and allied organs of digestion and nutrition. People who have been treated for dis? ease of head, heart, lungs, liver, nerves or blood have often been treated in vain, until they began the use of Dr. Pieree'a Golden Medical Discovery. When this medicine had healed the stomach and cleansed the blood, the other diseases disappeared.

Lo Caio, the Senate refused to concur in the House amend? ments to the joint resolution providing a commission to investigato and report as to conditions in the State penitentiary. The House reduced the membership of the commission from to 5. Mr. James presented a bill to prohibit undue preferences by railroad and other common carriers in this State in favor of any person or locality. Mr.

James made an earnest plea to have the bill placed on the calendar, but Mr. Maynard insisted that it be sent to the Committee on Roads, which was done. CON VE NTI ON DE BAT E. The Senate took tip the Constitutional Convention bill at 1 o'clock and? devoted the remainder of the session to its dis? cussion. Tyler offered an amendment, the substance of which was expressed as fol? lows: "If said convention shall agree upon an amended constitution on or before the 5th day of October, 1901, and shall decide to submit the amended constitution to tho qualified votersOf the Commonwealth for ratification or rejection, then the said constitution shall be submitted to the qualified voters of the Commonwealth for ratification or rejection." Mr.

Eggleston opened the debate in a speech, in advocacy of his amendment of? fered Thursday, which left liie convention free to deckle whether the amended Con? stitution should ha submitted to popular vote. He declared he was- the la3t man on earth to want a party pledge broken; he did not think fii.s resolution would vio? late the Xorfolk pledge. He declared the Democrats of the Virginia Legislature were not the keepers of tite conscience of the Democratic party of the State. The Legislature did not have the pow? er to bind a Constitutional Convention. Mr.

Eggleston argued very strongly in advocacy of the bills being amended so as to allow the people to vote on the Consti? tution by sections', and Mr. Flood, inter? rupting him. said he was perfectly wil? ling to have the amendment made. Mr. Eggleston thought that if the con? vention's; work were to be submitted at tho November election the people would not have sufficient time to study its pro? visions; he also thought that the provision t.o have the convention set during the heated season, made it certain that the members would experience so much dis? comfort that they could not work to ad? vantage.

He declared there was danger that men who would lose by reason of a re constitution, and those persons dis? franchised by it, would unite to defeat it. There was also danger that powerful cor? porate interests would also ally themselves with the two classes named, and that the three united might prove powerful enough defeat it. He wanted to know why, if the Norfoly declaration to submit the con? stitution; to the people was binding, the Legislature did not say that the descend? ant of no man who could vote in 1S05 should be disfranchised? The Nonfolk convention had said that. JUDGES AND THE NIGGERS. Mr.

Barksdale ispoke briefly in favor of an unequivocal declaration in favor of submitting the constitution to popular vote. No matter what was the language of the Norfolk what construc? tion it were sought to place upon it, the people thought they were to be allowed to vote on. "The gentleman from Charlotte (Mr. Eggleston) seems to think the county judges and the niggers will make a com? bination which the friends of constitu? tional reform cannot overcome. All I want to isay is tha-t if the judges and the niggers get in the wagon together so much the worse for the wagon." (Laugh? Mr.

Barksdale said lie didn't want to go into game of blind man's buff and draw out of botch-pot. He wanted, a chance to vote on the Constitution; he wanted every man in the State to have a chance. HE WOULDN'T P.E DECEIVED. Mr. Barkisdale declared that if he had thought there would be serious opposition to submitting the Constitution to the peo? ple he would never have voted for the convention.

He created much laughter by his allusions to Mr. Glass's quotation of poetry in a Thursday. He declared the backbone of the oppo? sition to the ConstitutioTvd Convention was strongest in the First District and in the South-west. They voted to have a new Constitution with the understanding that it was to be submitted to the people. He declared he had been shocked by the declaration made on the floor of the Sen? ate that property, as well as people, should be represented.

"If the corporations of this State knew what was good for them they would oppose having this Constitution Voted on by the people." he said. A SHARP PASSAGE. At the conclusion of Mr. Barksdale's speech. Mr.

Eggleston aros? and. solemly the nominations made by Mr. Barksdale of J. Bryan for the Presidency and W. P.

Barksaale to suc? ceed himself in the State Senate. "That's the best thing you have done In a long time," retorted Mr. Barksdale, and there was uproarious laughter at the expense the Charlotte Senator. MR. TY-LER'S SPEECH.

Mr. Tyler made a most able speech, ar- I guing that the Legislature could not bind the Constitutional Convention. "I am perfectly willing to say," said Air. Tyler, "that if the question were simply for us to decide, I should tsay submit the Con? stitution to the popular vote. We should not place on our shoulders responsibilities which do not belong there." This will give an idea of the'general scope of a strong speech in support of the amendment offered by Mr.

Tyler, and given in substance above. Mr. Bruce spoke in favor of submitting tho amended Constitution, but he did not want the Legislature to take action on the subject: he was suro the class of men composing the convention would do what was. right; he would leave It with them. Bruce seldom speaks; he is an ex? cellent speaker; his speech was one of the best delivered during th3 Constitutional Convention debate.

THE VOTING. At 0:03 o'clock a vote was taken on Mr. Harvey's amendment providing that the matter of submitting the Constitution to voto of the people bo, decided at the next session of the General Assembly. It was lost by a vote of 23 noes; Dinwiddie, Harvey, James and Lyle. A vote was then tafen on Mr.

Tyler's amendment, providing that if the con? vention should decide to submit the Con? stitution, it Lhould bo voted on at the November election, 1901. The vote re? noes, 7 ayes. The vote was next taken on Mr. Eg gleston's which proposed to leave it optional with the convention as to whether the convention should submit noes, The Senate refused lc. reconsider the voto by which Mr.

Egglestoh's amend? ment wlas rejected, and adjourned at 3:20 o'clock to ni.ct at A. M. to-day. Work House. Speaker Saunders called the House to order at o'clock, under the amended rule, and prayer was offered by Rev.

R. P. Kerr. Hon. George W.

Settle, of Rappahannock, who has been detained at home on account of illness In his family since the extra session convened, was in liU scat for the nrfet time yesterday, and was warmly greeted by his Horts. J. R. Horsley. of Appomattox, and John E.

Epps, of Richmond, were also in their seats, having recovered from recent attacks of sickness. Hon. Weldon Berry, former member of the House from Stafford and King George, was on the floor, mingling with his old friends and associe tes, as was, also Colonel James Mann, former mem? ber from Nottoway and Amelia. A bill, offered by Mr. Waring, regulating the of cider in Essex was opposed by Mr.

Folkes, of Richmond, on the ground that it wa.s against the rights of the "cold-water people" of the State. Mr. Fleet contended for the passage the measure, -and said some of the worst rows that ba-l occurred in Essex in recent years had their origin in the sale of cider. Mr. Folkes replied at some length and said it was against the good morals of the State to compel a man who wanted a glass of cider to go into a bar-room to get it.

Mr. Whilehead. of Norfolk, made a strong 'speech for the bill, at the request of ihe patron. Mr. Waring, who was sick and unable to be in his seat.

The bill was by a large majority-. Mr. Barclay made a speech on the question of telephones when the bill of? fered by Mr. Pollock to incorporate the Poplar Hill Telephone Company was up. He offered some amendments which were adepted, and the bill was finally passed by.

CONVENTION BELL. Mr. McRae, chairman of the Courts of Justice Committee, reported the Consti? tutional Convention bill, perfected by his committee ir accordance with instruc? tions from the House and in conformity with the resolutions passed by that body on the various questions involved. The bill provides for the election of dele? gates on the fourth Thursday in May, and the assembling of the convention in Richmond on June 12, 1901. All persons are eligible to membership in the convention, who are qualified to voto for members of the General Assem? bly.

The bill provides further that there shall be one hundred and four delegates in the convention, one hundred of which are apportioned according to the basis of the present House and four delegates given (one each) to the following House districts, on account of increase in pop? ulation: Buchanan, Dickinson and Wise, Norfolk city, Norfolk county and the dis? trict represented in the House by Mr. Madison, composed of several counties antl the city of Newport News. Floyd and Franklin, now a floater district, shall have each one delegate. Franklin has one in the House and Floyd and Franklin one together. The convention is made the judge of the privileges and election of its own members and the work of the body is to be submitted to the people at the Novem? ber election should it be completed by Oc? tober 5th.

If not, then at a later period. The per diem of the members is fixed at $4 and their mileage, the same as that of members of the General Assembly. SECTION BY" SECTION. The bill was on motion of Mr. Embivy taken up and considered by sections.

The clerk began the readirg of the bill and Mr. Embrey, in charge, explained the va? rious sections of the measure. Mr. Madison wanted Newport News A NirVY DEPARTURE. New, Effectual and Convenient Cure l'or Catarrh.

Of catarrh remedies, there is no end, but of catarrh curca there? has always been a great scarcity. There are many remedies to relieve, but very few that really cure. The old practice of snuffing salt water through the nose- often relieve and Ihe washes, douches, powders and in? halers in common use are very little, if any. better than the old-fashioned salt? water douche. The use of iniiaiers and the application of salves, washes and powders to ttie nose and throat to cure catarrh is no more reasonable than to rub the back to cure kidney disease.

Catarrh is just as much a blood disease as kidney trouble or rheu? matism, and it cannot be cured by local treatment any more than they can be. To cure catarrh, whether in Uie head, throat or stomach an internal antiseptic treatment is necessary xo drive the ca tarrhal poison out of the blooa and sys? tem, and the new catarrh cure is desig ed on this plan, and the remarkable suc? cess of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is be? cause being used internally, it drives out catarrh infection through action upon stomach, liver and bowels. Wm. Zimmerman, of St. Joseph, relates an experience, with catarrh which is of value to miEions of catarrh sufferers He says: "I neglected a slight nasal catarrh until it gradually extended to my throat and bronchial tubes, and finally even my stomach and liver became affected, but as I was able to keep up and do a day's work, I let it run aJons until my hearing began to fail me and dien I realized that I must get rid of catarrh or lose my position, as I was clerk, and my hearing was absolu teiy necessary.

Some of my friends recommended an in? haler, another a catarrh salve, but they were no good in my case, nor was any? thing else until I heard of Stuart's Ca? tarrh Tablets and bought a package at my drug store. They benefitted me from the start and in less than four months I was completely cured of catarrh, although I had suffered nealry all my life from it. "They are pleasant to take and much more convenient to use than other catarrh remedies that I feel I cannot say enough in favor of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets." A little book on cause and cure of ca? tarrh will be mailed free by addressing F. A. Stuart HCairshall, and the tablets are sold by all druggists In the United States and Canada; given the additional delegate allotted to that district, but he was ruled out of order? on the ground that his ittitea? nient would create -a district, tvh.e?.

was in conflict with the resolution under win ch the committee had framed lIvj bill. Mr. Southall moved to amend by giving Norfolk city two Instead of three dele? gates. Ho made a strong speech, in which he contended that based on la tion, Norfolk city was not entitled to the increase and he would never vote for it uniess other sections were also Riven additional delegates. He said Norfolk county was to more representa? tion than Norfolk city.

Mr. Whitehead, of Norfolk, made a strong appeal for the report of the com? mittee, and said his city had increased in population to a sufficient extent to war? rant the additional delegate. Mr. Embrey followed Mr. White-head, and spoke ably in favor of the com? mittee's report.

Mr. Southall spoke again in favor of his amendment and it was lost by a vote of 49 to 32. CROMWELL WANTED ANOTHER, Mr. Cromwell offered an amendment that Norfolk county have three instead of two delegates. Mr.

Embrey spoke against the amendment. Mr. McAllister followed Mr. Embrey, anel said the bill brought in had already given Norfolk county more than she was entitled to. when compared with other sections that had increased in population.

Mr. Southall said if Norfolk city was" to be given three delegates Norfolk county should have for the county had 51, when the ci'ty had only 47.C1X). He was opposed to the inequality of the bill and coulel not support it. Mr. wanted to amend by strik? ing out all the additional delegates, but he was ruled out of order.

Mr. Embrey spoke again, and said it was unusual for Mr. Southall to take such an active part in matters so far removed from his section, and his purpose was to secure additional delegates for his own community. Mr. McRae spoke very ably in behalf of the recommendations of the committee, and explained how the result had been reached after the most careful delibera? tion upon the subject.

Mr. Willard moved! to strike out all the additional dclegatcr-, and ha was ruled out of order by the Chair (Mr. Ryan). The member from Fairfax! appealed? for the decision, and long discussion followed. Mr.

Sauiiders next spoke and contend? ed that the instructions of the House en this question amounteel to nothing, gid that it was clearly within the province of the body to amend tho bill in U12 lino indicated by Mr. Willard. Messrs. Pilcher, McRae and Carc.wt.ll interrupted the speaker with questions, but he continued his speech, conlentting lor tho parliamentary rights of the House to amend. SUPPORTED THE CHAIR.

Mr. Cardwell spoke in support of the opposite view and held that Air. Wil lard's amendment was out of order. Mr. Pilcher said the people who ere ing for Mr.

Willard's ere in favor of a senatorial basts, and having been whipped out, were dying nan! This was deiuod by his who said they were contending for the rights of the House. Mr. Southall spoke for Mr. amendment. Mr.

McRae supported lite Chair and said House had instructed the com? mittee by resolution on this specific mat? ter, and that lie was sure the amendment was out of order. Mr. Jennings moved to adjourn, but tiie House refused by a. vote of 33 to 40. Mr.

Hubard characterized ohe ruling of the Chair as undemocratic, and asked that the Houise reverse it by supporting Mr. Willard's appeal from its decision. The Chair was 'sustained by a vote of 3S to 31, and the House adjourned. SENATE BILLS PASSED'.

And forty-five life span for most hard work and responsi? bility as a bank cashier and treasurer to look back upon. For the past ten years Mr. Potter has never known a day of serious sickness.

Previous to that time he suffered from nervous prostration that clung to him for six years. That this remarkable immunity from weakness and disease, at such a time in life, has not happened by chance, no one knows better than the aged treasurer himself. In June, ISSI, when suffering from a number of old chronic complaints, Mr. Potter was induced by relatives to use Paine's celery compound for the first time. The effect was immediately benefi? cial.

The uninterrupted good health that he has since enjoyed dates from that time. Mr. Potter's grateful letter to the proprietors of Paine's celery compound is based on long persona! experience and also a full knowledge of what it has done for very many of his friends to whom he has in turn recommended great rem? edy that made him well. Mr. Potter's let? ter is given in its entirety: Centreville, I.
