Recommends Peruna to All Catarrh Victims.

Hon. M. H. McCord.

Hon. Myron H. McCord, ex-Govemor of Mew Mexico, in a letter to Dr. Hartman, from Washington, D. C., says: DenrJSir— At the suggestion of a friend I was advised to use Peruna for catarrh, and after using one bottle I began to feel better In every way. It helped ine In many respects. I was troubled with colds, coughs, sore throat, etc., but as soon as I had taken your medicine I began to Improve and soon got well. I take pleasure In recommending your great remedy to all who are afflicted with catarrh. —M. H. McCord. Thousands of cases of chronic catarrh have been cured by Peruna during the'past winter. There are no successful substitutes for this remedy. Send to Dr. Hartman, Co--lumbus, Ohio, for a free catarrh book.

Cameo-Cutter’s Nerve-Trying Work.

The cameo cutter can put in only a few hours’ work at a time as a usual thing, because of the tension on his nerves. A quavering hand may be responsible for the single stroke which will spoil a week’s work. He must have an eye almost like a microscope and‘a x very delicate touch; he must be an artist in soul and as skillful a craftsman as is a watchmaker; he must know how to model and draw', and he must have a knowledge of chemistry, so as to remove offending spots. The work is executed in relief on many kinds of hard or precious stones, but essentially the chalcedonic variety of quairz and on shells.

REFORM IN MAN’S ATTIRE.

John M. Hubbard, a Cultivated Yankee with a Strange Fad. John Merwin Hubbard, of West Haven, Conn., stalks out to church every Sunday arrayed in a flowing white robe with a golden girdle and a bonnet fashioned after those worn by ancient Jewish priests. On the Fourth,of July and other patriotic occasions Mr. Hubbard appears in his true glory, for then he dawns upon the startled gaze of the summer boarders at Savin Rock most gorgeously arrayed in a robe of red, w hite and blue. Father Hubbard wishes it recorded that he does not wear his diaphanous drapery because he wishes to excite vulgar attention or to prove to the world that he is the only real genuine Father Hubbard. He is a philosopher, a soldier, and a poet. He w'ears the strange drapery because he says he has discovered that modern ideas of dress are entirely opposed to the consistency and teaching of the scriptures. Therefore he has invented several new and original costumes, which, however, he

JOHN M. HUBBARD.

declares are built according to the descriptions given in the Bible. 4 . Mr. Hubbard says of bis reasous for Wearing his robes: “Gay colors keep the mind in an excited condition and exclude all peaceful and holy thoughts, consequently on the Sabbath 1 wear a long robe of white, chaste and simple, with a golden girdle. I am then ready to conceive and comprehend the true meaning of a church service. I have the Bible for authority. In Revelations the angels are-spoken of as clothed in pure white linen, with girdles of gold. Daniel and St. John in other visions saw ‘a certain man clothed in linen whose loins were girdled with fine gold.’ ” Mr. Ilubbard is organizing a sbeiety to be known as the S. O. G. G., which means the “Sunday Order of Gowns and Girdles.” The motto of the S. O. G. G. is “A Heavenly Sabbath,” and membership is open to all. While one object of the order will be the preservation of the Sabbath as a day of rest, the principal object will be. as Mr. Hubbard says, “To bring together all of the male sex xvho are dissatisfied with the ungainly attire which custom compels them to use.” .

MARK TWAIN.

Mr. Clemens Is Home After Many Years’ Stay In Europe. Mark Twain is Lome after his long stay in London. During the years he has made his home abroad he has been at times reported as slowly .starving to death, and at other times as banqueting sumptuously with dukes, earls and emperors. In 1897 and 1898 Mr. Clemens was feted at Vienna as no other American had been feted. On one of these occasions he addressed his audience in the German language. The great humorist is now 65, but has not

How a Japanese Hero Died.

A lieutenant of engineers at Tien tsin, with three sappers, crept up in the dark and placed a charge of guncotton atthe huge gate. There Tvas to be an electric wire to fire the gun cotton, but it failed somehow: and, as daylight was dawning already, the four Japanese felt that tlieir maneuver was in danger of failing, so one of them fired the charge with a match, blowing himself to death aud glory and giving entry to the allied army.

FINDS YOUTSEY GUILTY.

Jury Assesses His Punishment at Imprisonment for Life. At Georgetown, Ky., Henry E. Youtsoy was found guilty by a jury of murdering William Goebel. His punishment is fixed at imprisonment for life. At the request* of Youtsey’s lawyers the judgment has been arrested until next February. By that time, if his mental condb tion has not improved, he will be tried for lunacy. In the meantime he is to be confined at Frankfort, and in the meantime, also, his attorneys will prepare an appeal. Perhaps never before in Kentucky was an unconscious man tried for bis life. Doubtless never before' was a verdict returned against a man who, at the very moment the decision was being read, lay in a stupor, more dead than alive, and with chances greatly against his recovery. The court room was crowded, but pone of Youtsey’s attorneys were present. The prisoner’s aged father arid a number of other relations wer«v in the sick room just off the court room. The verdict produced a tearful scene, as they had been hoping that the result would be acquittal. Youtsey was somewhat better Saturday, though unable to make himself understood. He will be sentenced by Judge Cantrill at the next term of court. A new trial will be asked for, and failing in this, an appeal will be taken.

CHRISTMAS BOXES TO GO FREE

Gifts for Soldiers t-erving Abroad to He Carried Without lharjre. . Christmas packages for'American soldiers serving abroad will be transported by"' the government free of charge from either Ban Francisco or New York. This was done Inst year, and proved popular. Those in charge of the army transports, however, say that senders of boxes should understand that perishable articles, such as- fruit ami plum "puddings, and fragile packages, such as preserves, should not be inclosed. Boxes should not exceed twenty-five or thirty pounds in weight. They should be plainly marked with the name, company and regiment of the soldier, and be sent in care of the superintendent of the United States army transport service, either at Sail Francisco or New York. A transport leaves New York for the Philippines on Nov. o, and will take Christinas packages, but it will require fifty days to make the trip, whereas the voyage across the Pacific is shorter. • Express or freight: charges should be prepaid to Sail Francisco or New York. Packages for soldiers in Cuba and Porto Rico should be sent via New York.

FROM FOREIGN LANDS

The proclamation of )>o:tce in South Africa is still to he promulgated. The war is apparently ended as far as regular campaigning is concerned, but small bands of Boers continue to harass the [British troops. Railroad communication Is frequently interrupted by the destruction of the roadbed by Boer raiders, and 'telegraph wires are often cut. Of course, this is not war, but it is so near to it lhat Lord Roberts’ army still has plenty to do. Lord Roberts’ departure for England is also delayed. A week ago it was expected that Lord Roberts would succeed Lord Wolseley as commander-in-chief of the British army. During the week, however, new complications seem to have arisen. Sir Redvers Buller, who had been slated for the chief command in .South Africa, is preparing to go to England. and the. London newspapers print, under reservation, the story that he is to be the new commander-in-chief, Lord, Roberts, it being stated, having declined because the War Department refused to give him a fret' hand in instituting army reforms.

The affairs of the Ottoman empire are rapidly going from bad to worse, and it is evident that a crisis cannot long be deferred. During the week the Turkish legation at Madrid was closed, the ambassador discharging his secretaries, attaches and servants and quitting his post because of unpaid salaries. The Turkish •flag is coming down from many Euro'poan consulates. The most prominent and progressive Turks are fugitives in Eufope, fearing wrath of the Sultan, Osman Pasha, a relative of the dead general of that escaping during the last week. Turkey is making no progress in commerce, industry, agriculture oj- mining. The land taxes are so heavy that the farmers cannot pay them from the products of the soil ? The mines of coal, copper, iron, lead, silver, salt and alum are unworked because of restrictive laws. Europe’s day of settlement with the Sultan .cannot long be delayed, and when that day comes the Sultan will disappear as a disturbing factor in old world polities.

China has taken the initiative in opening negotiations ’ with the powers for a settlement of the complications arising from the Boxer revolt. Prince Ching and Li-Hung-Chang have addressed to the foreign envoys a circular note suggesting a basis for the beginning of negotiations. They express regret for the anti-foreign outrages and concede in advance China’s liability to pay indemnity. They ask a cessation of hostilities and the withdrawal of the allied army. France has already rejected the proposals, and the powers will doubtless follow the example. In his note M. Pinchbn, the French ambassador. insists that all negotiations wiU be held in abeyance as long as the heads of the leaders of the anti-foreign revolt, remain unfallen. This is a direct return to the original demands of Germany and may delay negotiations.

The hen Ith of King Oscar of Sweden has given great uneasiness to his people during the last week, although the latest advices are encouraging. At the same time the crown prince, Gustavos, will take the oath before the Storthing and govern as regent. It is feared that King Oscar will never be fully restored to health, and his death is confidently expected ivithin a abort time. In the present strained relations between Sweden and Norway the death of King Oscar and the accession of Prince Gustav us would be aVnost an international calamity.

A Dining Calculation.

If twelve persons were to agree to d]ne together every day, but never sit exactly In the same order around the table, it would take 18,000,000 years at the rate of dne dinqer a day, and they would have to eat more than 470,000.000 dinners before they could get through all the possible arrangements In w hich they could place themselves.

Military Automobiles.

The advantages presented by automobiles have a great fascination for all military men. Large sums have been offered for the best automobile. In war, as in everything, it pays to use the best weapons. The best shield with which to protect the stomach is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. It cures constipation, indigestion and dyspepsia, and prevents malaria.

Jeff Davis' Slave a “Mayor."

Isaiah T. Montgomery,who was in his youth a slave of Jefferson Davis and his elder brother, Joseph Davis, founded a colony of negroes in the Yazoo River Valley, |n Mississippi after the war, and be is now “mayor” of the village of Mount Bayou, the center of the colony. The negroes own 12,000 acres there.

A gorgeous costume flashed beneath the brilliant lightej of a ball room. The queen of society is radiant to-night. The nervous hands of a weak woman have toiled day and night, the weary form and aching head have known no rest, for tne dress must be finished in time. To that queen of society and her dressmaker we would say a word. One through hothouse culture, luxury and social excitement, and the other through the toil of necessity, may some day find their ailments a common cause. Nervous prostration, excitability, fainting spells, dizziness, sleeplessness, loss of appetite and strength, alf indicate serious trouble, which has been promoted by an over-taxed system. * For the ,society queen and the dressmaker alike, there is nothing so reliable as Lydia E. Pinkham’g Vegetable Compound to restore strength, vigor, and happiness. Mrs. Lizzie Anderson, 49 Union St., Salem, N.
