Important Information for Men and Women. For thosv who are accustomed to sending awajr from home for their goods it Is of the greatest importance to know the c^racttfc and reliability of the establishments Belling goods to families from cataloguer Thv great emporium of the John M. Smyth Co., located at 150 to 100 Went Madison street, Chicago, has been established for a third of a century, •nd has furnished over a half a million homes in Chicago and vicinity alone. This firm enjoys the confidence of the public by its many years of fair dealing. It issues an immense illustrated catalogue that should be iu every family, as it describes and gives the price of every article required for household use. A sample of the extraordinary values offered by this firm is shown in the illustration of the gentlemen's overcoats iu another column of this paper. These gar ments are indeed wonderfid values, and yet they are but a sample of the thousand and one useful articles illustrated ami described in the beautiful catalogue of the John M. Smyth Company. Letting It Out. If inquisitive persons cannot learn to “mind their ow n business." they should try at least to control their tongues. The Sydney Journal tells this illustrative anecdote on the authority of a woman whose servant was given to curiosity: “Did the postman leave any letters, Mary?” the mistress asked, ou returning from a visit one afternoon. ^•bthlng but a post-card, ma'am.” “Who is it from, Mary?” » “And do you think I’d read it, ma’am?” asked the girl, with an inEs jured air. “Perhaps not. But any one who sends me a message on a post-card Is either stupid or impertinent.” “You’ll excuse me, ma’am,” returned the girl, loftily, “but that’s a nice way to be talking about your own mother!” A Good Chance for Getting Even. “Yes,” said the florid lady, “I made my will severa’ years ago, and it was one of the wisest things I ever did.” “Why?” the meek-looking woman asked. “Do you expect to drop off suddenly. “No, but It’s such a satisfaction to go and change it whenever I get mad at any of the heirs.” rUM u pl k 17^ \ ■ WBM I P^B9B9arges which weaken so fsj ?| many women are caused by Ca- W S tarrh of the distinctly feminine ® |T organs. The sufferer may call H IB her trouble Leuchorrhoea, or H Weakness,or Female Disease or H 9 some other name, but the real M trouble is catarrh of the female 9 k organs and nothing else.

’JL Pwww — Admiral D -~v’s official welcome home - will take •' ;n Washington when the magnificent 5Tv-r»nl voted to him by ('on- . gress will bi' presented to the hero of Manila bay on the steps of the Capitol. I There will be official delegations from the ’ Senate and House, under the leadership of Senator Froetor of Vermont and Representative David B. Henderson of lowa, ! the next Speaker. Most of the State Governments will be represented officially. The ceremony of q^esenting the sword by President McKinley will take place ou the east front of the Capitol, on the spot where the Presidents are inaugurated, and the plaza between the Capitol and the Congressional Library will furnish standing room for the thousands who are expected as spectators. At night there will be a general illumination of the city, and a torchlight parade of troops and civic organizations. The ceremony will take place immediately after the reception in New York. An informal understanding has been reached for a temporary agreement ou the Alaskan boundary. The boundary line is to form a temporary barrier only, and its location will not prejudice tiie Government case of cither country. The . modus vivendi provides for a line run- | ning just northward of Kluckwan, him! it bars out Canada entirely from the Lynn j canal. Arrangements of a temporary 1 character may yet be made, however, to . permit the Canadians to get their goods | across the border, but the protocol as now | drawn does not provide for such a free । port. The boundary line under the modus । vivendi is a slight concession to Canada, ; but it is still far inside of the British ; claim and is in substance the American line. -:—:- Chinese missionaries, some of them at present at home, nre back of a scheme to transplant a modern sawmill from New York State to Wu Hu, China. American, English and Chinese residents of Wu Hu are said to take kindly to the proposition, and Li Hung Chang is quoted as having given his consent, and along with it a check for $2,000 for stock in the new enterprise. There is no modern sawmill in all China, and lumber Is sawed there by the most antiquated methods. It is said that the value of the proposed mill as an object lesson for the natives will be important, and that for this reason the Government is looking upon the plan with favor. There was more gold in the treasury Thursday than the Government has ever had before at 'me time. The net gold and bullion, including $100,000,000 reserved for redemption of United States notes, as reported at the Treasury Department on that day was $251,018,132. The amount never reached $20<1,000,1>00 until August last year, when it was a little more than $217.000,<X)0. The actual amount of gold coin in the treasury Thursday was $195,812,840, and of gold bullion $128,904,321, making a total of $324,717.001, against which gold certificates to the value of $73,099,529 are outstanding. According to official reports at the State Department, ateps have bevn taken to break down th* quinine trust, organic- • ed by German manufacturers. Recently some of tiie largest and most influential planters in Java have organized to control j the supply in such away as to keep the raw material out of the hands of the syndicote and have begun to encourage direct trade with the United States. Factories have been established in Java, and since last January, when the i new trade begun, 2155.000 ounces of sulphate of quinine have been shipped direct to tins country. The people of Florida and Georgia are I urging very strongly upon the Secretary ; of War the organization of colons! regiments for service in the West Indies or the Philippines, claiming that the black race is peculiarly fitted for service in the hot countries. In Georgia alone it is i claimed that ten regiments of colored I troops could be raised within twenty days. United Slates Senators, members of Congress and Governors of States are bai k of the movement and have united in a petition to the Secretary. It will take more than half a million dollars to repair ships of war during the current fiscal year. The available appropriation amounts to $3,000,000, and Rear Admiral Hichborn. the chief constructor of the navy, says that sum will not suffice for a longer period than six months. He will endeavor to make it hold out until Congress meets in December, when the Navy Department will submit a deficiency estimate of fully $3.1X10,000 to carry the work on until July, 1900. When Gen. Shafter retires as n briga- ' dier general in the regular army next I month he will be continued as a major general of volunteers as a reward for his | services around Santiago. The vacant j brigadier generalship will probably go to i i Gen. Lawton. Brig. Gen. Anderson and j Maj. Gen.

t CAPTAIN CARTER’S CASE. la Ttiia Army Officer a I lli of or an . American Dregfua? The Dreyfus case has a parallel in our own country, if the charges of counsel for Capt. Oberlin M. Carter arc true.

They assert that this disgraced army officer, who was found guilty of embezzlement to the extent of several i million dollars by a ; court martial appointed to investigate charges pre- ■ ferred against him in connection with the improvements in Savannah harbor, is really the

victim of injustice and intrigue which rivals French military justice and that he will be vindicated if given a fair trial. Carter was declared guilty by the court martial over a year ago, but the President had ex Senator Edmunds review the evidence and directed Attorney General Griggs to hear oral arguments by the counsel on l>oth sides and render nn opin ion. Meanwhile the opponents of Carter charge that political influence has been exerted to save a guilty man from the punishment be merits, viz., dismissal from the army and imprisonment. As a sensational denouement, Gen. Elwell S. Otis, now in the Philippines, who presided over the court martial, is accused of perjury and subornation of perjury in this connection. Os all the scandals concerning the honor and integrity of the army uone Uua been ho serious as that affecting the reputation of Capt. Oberlin M. Carter, late Government engineer in charge of the works at Savannah, Ga. In tiie winter of 1898 it was whispered that extensive frauds had been committed in connection with the Government work in Savannah harbor. Capt. Carter had been iu charge of this work for a number of years, and it was his successor, Capt. Cassius E. Gillette, who first intimated that the work at Savannah was suspicious. Following ; an investigation by Col. Gillespie, Maj. : Raymoud and Maj. Adams of the engi- ' neer corps of the Savannah works, the ; charges were formulated against Capt. ' Carter, then military attache to the American embassy nt Ijondou, to the effect that he conspired with contractors Vo defraud the I’nited States and obtain allowance for fraudulent claims amounting to two and a half million dollars; that ■ he indorsed a false pay roll and did divers other criminal acts, including embezzlement. A cdurt martini was ordered, with Gen. Otis as president, and Col. Thomas 11. ; Barr as judge advocate. The proceedings of the court martial were m> sooner begun than intimations were lien rd that through the operations of a hostile clique in the engineering con>s of the army the court had been packed against Carter and that he was to be condemned to a certainty. On the other hand. It was charged by Carter’s enemies that jeditical influence and wealth were Ixung used to secure his escape from punishment. How- । ever this may be. he was tried, found guilty iu May, 1898. and tMe findings of . the court sent to the President. oyster season is on. I The Supply This Year Will Ue LuusuaUr Abundant. The oyster season is on. From now until the last day of April during which time the spelling of all the mouths will contain an “r” —it will be proper to eat : oysters. The first dredgings this year, dealers say, indicate that the supply for the season will be unusually aluindant. AU of the Eastern oystermen are rvuytL rxi as having increased their fncilinesßr dredging, extended their beds, and proJ vided more boats. Western dealers also - Jj anatomy of the OYSTEB. declare that better transportation facilities have been obtained. Last year it took 27.0,000 oysters a week to supply Chicago. In previous years the average was considerably h sg. With the increased supply the dealers are preparing for a sale tiiat will come nearer the 500,000 mark. New York consumes 1,000,000 oysters a week, half of which 1 arc sold at the wharves at low prices, and it is estimated that 150.000 are cou- । sumed each week in St. Louis. | TWENTY YEARS AGO. > "Pinafore” was raging.

mosquitoes live two months : ■ Dr. Bancroft of BnFpep Sary Makes a Study of the Little PewtH Dr. r. L. Bancroft, _of Burpengary, I writes an interesting letter to the Au's- ! I tralasian Medical Gazette on the life, j history of the house nuxquito. an Insect I which recent work upon nuilarlan in- • [ lection has elevated into scientific ini- j portanee. This mosquito, it is thought, I I has been Introduced into Australia t from Europe. Tradition says that a ! ' mosquito lives a day or two; hat it feeds only once, afterward retiring to ; some quiet spot, where the ova are ma- ' । tured. the eggs laid In water, after f which It dies, and that the male mos- ; qulto doos not feed, and that it is rare I that It lives seven days after the meal । ' of blood. The investigations of Dr. | ‘ Bancroft into filarial metamorphosis! tallies exactly with those of Dr. Man son in respect to the inetaim>rph<isis, । ; except in one important item. Dr. Ban | ( croft had never seen the actively mov- ! it g filaria, or thread worms, the las' j stage of the mvtaniorphi sis. but thii< he attributes to the fact that mosqui- I toes want to be liml. and that his died troin starvation about the sixth day ! tind befurv tlic filariae had developed. In confinement it is uece-sary to feed inosquities.
