SIOO Reward, SIOO.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. " Address F. J. CHENEY & CO..

Consumption (J There is no specific for consumption. Fresh air, exercise, nourishing food and Scott’s Emulsion will come pretty near curing it, if there is anything to build on. Millions of people throughout the world are living and in good health on one lung. From time immemorial the doctors prescribed cod liver oil for consumption. Of course the patient could not take it in its old form, hence it did very little good. They can take SCOTT’S EMULSION and tolerate it for a long ’ time. There is no oil, not excepting butter, so easily digested and absorbed by the system as cod liver oil in the form of Scott’s Emulsion, and that is the reason it is so helpful in consumption where its use must be continuous. <J We will send you a sample free.

FOR THE CHILDREN

Animal*' Winter Home*. “In the autumn,” remarked a naturalist, “the birds and beasts of the countryside occupy themselves in preparing their supplies of winter clothes and bedding Just as human beings would do. “And by their winter clothes," he continued, “I do not mean merely the extra thick suits of fur or feather, but all kinds of artificial rugs and blankets, which they manufacture themselves. “Take, first, the water rats, which are famous blanket makers. They fill their lairs in autumn with sheets of the gray vegetable down that grows on various plants in the marshes and by the banks of rivers and brooks. Their beds are often composed of the soft heads of reeds that have been dried and ripened by the autumn sun, with rushes and vegetable down for bedclothes. “Then there are the field mice, which make their winter beds with layers of dried grass and dead leaves. They are also fond of a few stray feathers and moss, but most of all they prize the white fluff of a kind of grass which makes for them a luxurious mattress. Curiously enough, they do not care for sheep’s wool or the hair of any animal, warm as it would be. “Weasels, ou the other baud, despise feathers and are partial to hay and also dried thistles (a prickly sort of bed, one would suppose). They hunt for wool or hair and when they have collected sufficient weave it up with the hay into a very snug bed.” How the Chinese Boy Recited I*. There was a rich merchant who became interested in a bright little Chinese boy and told his father that he would take him into his employ when he could speak good English. “Not pidgin English,” warned the merchant. By the way, “pidgin English” is what is known as “business English,” and is pronounced “pidgin” by the Celestial as the nearest he can come to saying “business.” One day the father brought the little boy to the merchant, telling him that be now could speak most elegant English. The merchant did not bblieve it from the short time be had been at it, but to give him a chance said: “All right; say ‘Little Jack Horner’ for me. Do you know It?” The little China boy smiled delightedly, proud to be able to show off his knowledge, and this is what the merchant heard: “Ittee Johnny Homer B’long Insldee corner, Makee show chow one Cllsma* pie. He put Insldee turn, Catchee big plecee plum. Hi yah! What one good chllo, my!” Why the Sea I* Green. The green color of ocean water depends upon the number of medusae and other minute animal forms which inhabit it. The deep green northern seas literally swarm wdth these miniature creatures. In some places as many as 128 of them have been found in a single cubic inch of water. In this proportion a cubic foot of water would contain 221,184, a cubic fathom 47,776,744 and a cubic mile 48,776,000,000,000. From soundings made in the districts where these creatures are found in such Immense numbers it is probable that the waters will average a mile in depth. Whether these forms occupy the whole depth is uncertain. Provided, however, the depth to which they extend is but 250 fathoms the above immense number of one species may occur within a space of one square mile. Finger Trick*. Sit in a chair and rest the tip of the first finger of either band on the top of your bead. Ask a person to raise the hand by grasping your wrist. Sandow, with all his strength, could not lift the hand of a child. He would raise the child from the floor, but its finger would not be moved from Its head. Another trick shows how easily the strength in the fingers of any ordinary person’s hand can part the fists of a strong man. Place your fists together at arm’s length, let another person strike simultaneously your left fist with one finger in a downward direction and your right fist with one finger in an upward direction. No matter how hard you press your fists together, they will fly apart. Why «O” I* Round. As every one knows, the letter “o” is the fifteenth in the English alphabet It has four sounds, eve of whjch, as in go, is probably one of the oldest and helped td fix its shape. 7 The letter in the Hebrew and Phoenician alphabet that corresponded to the long o was called ayn or eye and was represented by a rude drawing of an eye. Of course this was often rendered simply as a circle with a dot in the middle, and at last it became the custom to omit the dot, which gave us merely a circle, the present form of the letter. Strength of Ice. Winter brings ice, and ice brings skating, which makes the bearing strength of ice a subject of Interest A conservative estimate is as follows: Two Inches in thickness will support a man; four inches, a man on horseback; five inches, an eighty pounder gun; eight inches, a battery of artillery with carriages and horses attached; ten inches, an innumerable multitude. A Sad Conditio*. ‘TH be a nurse,” said little Vic, “And cure the family so quick!" She donned an apron long and white And tied a kerchief cap on tight. But then, “Oh, dear," cried little Vie, “There isn’t anybody sick!" —Youth's Companion.

BECOMES BRIDE OF LONGWORTH

Alice Roosevelt Given in Marriage to Ohio Congressman. CEREMONY AT THE WHITE HOUSE Most Brilliant Affair of Its Kind Ever Celebrated in Washington. One Thousand Invited Guests Composed of Diplomats, Officials ' ; \and Social Leaders Witness Ceremony. Washington, Feb. 19. —Miss Alice Roosevelt, eldest daughter of the president of the United States, was married to Representative Nicholas Longworth, of Ohio, at noon in the east room of the White House. The most distinguished statesmen of the land, lights of literature, lions of society, and captains of industry—men and women from every walk of

life and from almost every clime and corner of the globe—came to pay homage to the happy couple and to swell the throng at the most brilliant wedding the capital has even seen. Thirty-seven foreign ambassadors and ministers were in attendance to extend the felicitations of their sovereigns and peoples. Cabinet officers, senators, the bridegroom’s colleagues in the house, and the intimate personal friends of the Roosevelt and Longworth families in Washington, New York and Cincinnati were included among the fortunate thousand invited to witness the marriage. Bishop Satterlee Officiates. Rt. Rev. Henry Yates Hatterlee, bishop of the diocese of Washington, performed the nuptial rites, using the stately ceremony of the Protestant Episcopal church. President Roosevelt led his daughter to the alter and gave her to the young statesman from Ohio. Miss Roosevelt’s bridal dress was a magnificent creation of heavy white satin, point lace, chiffon, filmy tulle

and silver brocade. The material from which the gown was developed was manufactured especially for Miss Roosevelt, and the design was destroyed as soon as the necessary amount of the material was made. Wears Diamond Necklace. The gown had a long court train of ■uperb silver brocade. The bodice was made high, without a collar, was trimmed with rare old point lace and the elbow sleeves were finished with the same filmy material. The sleeves just met the long white gloves. A voluminous tulle veil, almoat completely enveloping the slender, graceful figure of the charming bride, was held In place by dainty clusters of orange blossoms. The tiny slippers were fashioned from silver brocade and Instead of buckets tulle bows were worn with tiny clusters of orange flowers. The only Jewels worn by the bride

ras the superb diamond necklace Much was the gift of the groom. Buffet Breakfast Served. Breakfast was then served in the spacious state dining room by a famous New York caterer. It was a buffet repast, for lack of space, forbade any attempt at seating the guests, but this informal arrangement added not a little to its pleasure. Judges of the supreme court, ambassadors, senators, military men. and plain citizens rubbed elbows in true democratic fashion while nibbling sandwiches or drinking the health of the bride. The president was in splendid spirits and had a Joke, a laugh, or a Jolly word for every one. His good humor was Infectious, and after the first solemnity of the occasion had worn off and the last strain of the hymeneal music had died away, the great company quickly changed from a stiff, conventional assemblage to a throng of right good friends. Music Throughout Feast. Throughout the breakfast Lieutenant Santelmann’s red-coated musicians played classical and popular airs, and the delicate tones of the magnificent gold piano in the east room from time to time added gentler melody to the feast of sound. Washington, Feb. 10. Representative and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, who were married at the White House Saturday, passed Sunday very quietly at “Friendship,” the country home of John R. McLean, at Tennalytown, which they are making their temporary headquarters. The weather was pleasant most of the day, and the couple took a stroll around the beautiful grounds surrounding the place. The gates of the grounds were closed during the day. Honeymoon in Cuba. Washington, Feb. 20.—Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth will spend a portion of their honeymoon in Cuba.

WHAT IS UP WITH OHIO?

Grosvenor’s District Turns Him Down with the Dullest Kind of Dull Thud. Lancaster, 0., Feb. 22.—0hi0 celebrated the eve of Washington’s birthday anniversary with an event that is one of the surprises of the year. The

CHARLES H. GROSVENOR.

Eighth district Republicans met to nominate a candidate for congress. This is the district so long represented by Charles H. Grosvenor, war veteran, stand patter of stand-patters and wheelhorse of the party. When the votes were counted there were Just 20 for Grosvenor and 78 for Albert Douglass, of Chillicothe. Douglass is also a prominent Ohio Republican leader, but that “Old Statistics” should be beaten 4 to 1 nearly is something that is startling; worse than all even Grosvenor’s own county, Athens, did not give him a single vote.

Decision of Interest to Labor.

Springfield, 111., Feb. 22. —The su preme court handed down an opinion affirming a decision of the Cook county court in fining members of Franklin Union No. 4 for unlawful assaults on non-union men and fining the union for being guilty of illegal conspiracy. The supreme court holds that the strikers had no right to picket plants, and that the union can be held liable as a corporation. Justices Boggs and Scott dissented, holding that there was not evidence to Justify a verdict against the union. The dissenting Judges express individual views sustaining the right of strikers to persuade and induce by peaceable means others to Join in strikes.

Failure of F. M. Creelman.

King Christain Laid to Rest.

Roskiide, Denmark, Feb. 19. The magnificent old Gothic’ church here presented a brilliant spectacle when King Christian IX, amid the thunder of guns, the sonorous tones of the organ and the blare of trumpets, was laid to rest with the long line of his predecessors on the Danish throne, whose remains repose in the chapels in Roskilde’s redstone sane.

Steton, thee Hat Manufacturer, Dead.

Leland, Fla., Feb. 19. John B. Stetson, the millionaire hat manufacturer of Philadelphia, is dead at his winter home at Gillen, near Doland.

TARIFF OBJECT LESSON.

Protected Product* Sold Cheaper Abroad Than Here. In a store on Broadway, New York city, a large placard covering th* whole upper part of the window told the passing throng as follows: “Great Protection Sale Waltham and Elgin Watches. Bought In England Cheaper Than In America and Brought Back to Undersell This Market.” Here was another proof of the claim long made by the Democrats that American products are being sold cheaper to foreigners than to our own people under the plundering tariff that the Republicans have enacted to protect monopoly. An enterprising watch merchant discovered how to beat the watch combine—by going to Europe and buying American watches there for more than one-third less than he could buy them of the manufacturers here for the same grade and mark. There is a tariff tax of 40 per cent ad valorem on watches, but American made watches that have been exported are readmitted free of duty, so all the watch merchant had to pay was the freight and some profit to the foreign watch merchant who had originally bought them here. The fact that he could sell these watches that had been exported and then reimported at onethird less than other merchants were selling the same brand of watches for shows how much less they were sold for export than is charged for thorn here. As there are but few watches imported, the tariff tax was evidently Imposed for the sole benefit of the American manufacturers, who thus collect the tax by charging the American people more than they do the foreigner. Watches are only one of a long list of articles that are sold abroad cheaper than in this country, but the Republicans Who control congress refuse to even consider a revision of the tariff bill that allows such plundering of our own people. Before election some Republican congressmen talk of revising the tariff, but never vote to do it, and the tariff never will be revised in the Interest of the people until a Democratic majority is elected in both houses of congress and a Democratic president is In the White House to sign the bill.

THE PEOPLE AROUSED.

People of Ohio Trylnv to Curb Her Plunderer*. Grand Juries are waking up all over the country and indicting trusts who have violated the state antitrust laws. At Napoleon, 0., the grand Jury has returned eighteen indictments against Ohio bridge corporations for conspiracy to prevent competition. “The companies are charged with forming a combination to keep up prices, and it is asserted that they have had the counties completely at their mercy on work done. The state, it la claimed, has been divided into districts by the bridge combine and certain companies assigned to certain districts, thereby killing all competition on bridge work." This shows that the honest citizens of Ohio are determined to root out monopoly that Republican ring rule ba* so firmly fastened upon them, but they will never succeed except partially until they elect senators and congressmen who will vote to reform the tariff that gives these bridge and other combines the opportunity to charge such unreasonable profits. The tariff is the mother of trusts and combines, and as long as the people of Ohio continue to elect their Dicks, Forakers and Grosvenors, who are notorious in Washington as corporation advocates and stand patters, they will continue to be plundered by the trusts and corporations. The result of the late election in Ohio and elsewhere and the action of the grand Jury above noted are hopeful signs of reform that will turn the rascals out, and then there will be a square deal between the corporations and the people of Ohio and the other states.

Political Contributions by Banks.

Comptroller Ridgely, who is head of the banking department of the government, reports to the senate that a few political contributions of S2OO or S3OO are the only ones given by national banks in the last four national campaigns. Mr. Ridgely, being a good Republican partisan, does not indicate that these sums were all subscribed to the Republican committees, but it Is a fact nevertheless. As the bank inspectors are not able to discover that a national bank is rotten or evading the law until the crash comes, bow is it possible for them to detect bow much the banks have paid for partisan purposes? The laf'ge sums actually paid were no doubt covered up under the head of “Legal Expenses” or on a similar plan to that adopted by the life insurance companies to cover up their donations “to save the country.”

The Canadian Tariff.

When the Dominion parliament convenes in March, thinks the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the report of the Canadian tariff commission will probably be taken up at once and a bill framed amending the tariff in accord with the wishes of the manufacturing Interests. "In that case the duties on manufactured products of the United State* will be considerably increased and more stringent precautions taken against the ‘dumping* of American surplus manufactures into Canada.'*

An Omissfon.

Although President Roosevelt said a good deal in his message to congress, he omitted to recommend his former statement that the Panama canal commission should buy Its supplies abroad If the trusts persisted In charging mor* to Uncle Sam than the price they supplied their foreign customers for.
