The Claim of Mrs. B. "W. Hanna, A Washington City letter to the Sentinel says: "Senator Voorhes addressed a letter to Secretary of Stato Poster concerning the claim of Mrs. Bayless W. Hanna for tho difference between her husband's salary as minister resident and envoy entraordinary to Argentine Republic and received a reply as follows which was refered to the senate committee oil foreign relations."

Your statement of the ease presents a strong appeal to congress for legislation in relief of the heirs of Mr. Hanna, a faithful officer of tho government, as records of tho government show him to have been. It was not within tho power ot the department to pay him a greater salary than that appropriated by congress, but it is fact as stated by you, that Mr. Hanna ssrved without additional pay after tho grade of his office had been raised to that of envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary. During his term he contracted which incapacitated him for professional labors after hiB return homo and resulted in his death. Favorable action by congress on tho relief bill pending would be a merited compliment to a distinguished citizen."

As near as I can remember 15 children have been placed in homes, There wero If) children admitted to the Orphans' Home during the year. There are now .10 in tho home, S of whom attend school. There has been but'little sickness and no deaths during tho past year Though the fire left us in very poor shape, yet owing to tho kindness and gonerosity of the pooplo, tho Homo is in pretty good running order. The children are all well and happy and with myself desire to thank those who so generously contributed to their support.

Th#y Were Warm FriendB. Tho present visit of Dr. G. b. HcClellan, "Diamond Dick,'' to this city brings to the writer's mind tho warm friendship that- was formed between tho Doctor on his former visit here ten years ago and tho late Hon. B. W. Hanna. It was a peculiar caso of mutual admiration and tho two gentlemen were almost continually together during the Doctor's three months' sojourn in the city. So many delightful drives did theso gentlemen take that the Doctor became almost as familiar with tho geography of county as with his old homo in tho West. While in conversation with tho Doctor yesterday ho inquired after many acquaintances ho mado while on theBe trips. Many of them aro yet living while others havo gone to their reward, among thom his esteemed and honored friend, Mr. Hanna. The Doctor will be at the Nutt Hotel all of next week where he will be pleased to have any of hiB old acquaintances call on him.

Stick to it!

Sometimes you may have to wait. The troubles that have been years in gathering cau't always be cleared away in a day. For all tho diseases and disorders peculiar to womanhood, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the sorest and speediest remedy. You can depend upon that —but if your case is obstinate, .,ive it reasonable time.

It's an invigorating, restorative tonic, soothing and strengthening nervine, and a positive epecitio for female weaknesses and ailments. All functional disturbances, painful irregularities and derangements are corrected and cured by it. All unnatural discharges, bearing-down sensations, weak back, accompanied with faint spells and kindred symptoms, are corrected. In every case for which it's recommended, "Favorite Prescription," is guaranteed to giva satisfaction, or tho money is refunded. No other medicine for women is sold on such terms. That proves that nothing else ollered by the dealer can be "just as good."

Disappointment

is felt at the premature decline of American yromen. Habits of life havo muoh to do with prevailing conditions. Their correction will improve coming generations, and corrective medicines havo just as much to do with the present. Dr. tenner's Kidney and Backache Cure is a positive specific in all kidney complaints, gravel, stone in bladder, female weakness and irregularities, moth on face, etc., improves appetite and digestion, corrects and restores to normal action all organs of tho body and purifies tho blood. Also cures headache, backache, dropsy, rheumatism, skin diseases, drowsiness, sleeplessness, dullness, and brings freshness and bloom to the cheek, elasticity to the step and cheerfulness and contentment to the mind. If satisfaction not given money refunded. Costs nothing to try it. Take home a bottle to-day.
