HAPPENINGS OP 1899.

SUMMARY OF A YEAR'S IMPORTANT EVENTS. War in Philippine Islands and South Africa, the Dreyfus Trial, Political Difficulties in Samoa, Death and Destruction by Fire, Wind and FlSod. Many causes have combined to make the year 1899 a rather remarkable one. Its opening was signalized by Spain’s surrender of the last vestige of her sovereignty in the Western hemisphere; its progress brought forth the declaration of war between England and the Transvaal Republic, and its close leaves these nations still engaged in a bloody contest, that may result in important political changes in South Africa. During the year the fighting between the nativea and United States troops in the Philippines has continued and the war is yet on. Other events, aside from Warfare, that have occupied public attention to a greater or less extent have been: Signing of the treaty of peace with Spain; settlement of difficulties in the Samoan Islands; trial, conviction and pardon of Captain Alfred Dreyfus in France; numerous large fires that have destroyed many lives and much property; tornadoes that caused disaster and death at Kirksville, Mo., in April, and at New Richmond, Wis., in June; several fatal shipwrecks; deaths of prominent men, among |hem President Felix Faure of France, Garret A.

Free Evening Schools in London,

Last year the London school board began the experiment of free admission to the evening schools. The result, now officially made known, strikingly confirms the wisdom of the step, for there was a vast increase in schools and scholars, the former numbering 321 and the latter 109,000. In other words, the roll of pupils nearly doubled. There Is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until tne last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctor* pronounced It a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failihg to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It Is taken Internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it falls to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address. F. J. CHENEY ft CO..

British Regimental Nicknames.

Some army experts are strongly In favor of a more extensive nee of khaki for the purpose of campaigning. We have all heard of such regimental nicknames as “strawboots,” “cherublms.” “Nanny goats,” “slashers,” “Sankey’s horse,” “die hards,” and the “dirty half hundred,” but few people In England know that the first Indian regiment to don khaki became known as the “dustmen.”—London Telegraph.
