Beware OF Alcohol Bitters.

Thousands have been ruined for life by
drinking popular nostrums. the principal in
gredient of which was alcohol. Such ''bit-
ters'' are deceptive in their effects; they
cause intoxication and temporary relief,
while they foster the drunkard's appetite
DR.. Kennedy's "Favorite Remedy" contains
no alcohol. 1t does not heat and infiame the
blood; it cools and puriies it. Better than
this even, it has cured many raving appe-
tite for drink. 1t will do you good not evil,
all the days of your life. All druggists sell
it. DR.. David Kennedy, Proprietor, Rondout'

" A AStilNl:TON.
A Gin from Queen Victoria.

WASHINGTON. November %. There was
received at the White House to-day massive
desk or writing table, present from Queen
Victoria TO the President of the United
States. 1t is made of live oak. weighs 1900
pounds, is elaborately carved and a magnifi-
cent specimen of workmanship. 1t bears the
following inscription:
"H. NJ, s. Resolute, forming part of the
expedition sent in search of Sir John Frank
lin in 1852, was abandoned in lat. "A IL, ,
long. l0l 22 H., on the 18th of Nav, 1854.
She was discovered and extricated in Sep

Henry. The ship was purchased, fitted out
and sent to England as gift to Her Majesty.
Queen Victoria, by the President and people
of the United States, as a token of good will
and friendship This table was made from
her timbers when she was broken up. and is
presented by the Queen of Great Britain and
Ireland to the President of the United States,
as memorial of the courtesy and loving
kindness which dictated the offer of the gift
of the Resoiute."
Report Of Postmaster General.
The Postmaster General in his annual re-
port concurs in recommendations of the
superintendent of railway mail service, for
re-classification of employees of that service,
for REIMBURSEMENT of their salaries and for
pensions to those disabled or families of
those killed in the service. The Postmaster
General thinks it would be wise measure of
public policy to encourage by appropriate
legislation the establishment of mail steam
ship communication with Mexican, Central
America and trans-Pacitic ports.
The popularity of the money order system
is shown by increase in operations from
million dollars in 1850 TO one hundred
millions the past year. The business has
been self-supporting for five years, with a
slight margin of profit He recommends re
duction of cost of money orders not exceeding
S. to five cents, and extension of maximum
limit to 500.
Operations of the letter carrier system are
stated as being highly satisfactory.
The Postmaster General, as the result of
his examinations of the postal savings and
postal telegraph systems of Great Britain,
recommends establishment of like systems in
this country. Mr.. Maynard renews the sug-
gestion made by Gen. Tarr, that the word
fraudulent" as it occurs in the revised
statutes, proceeding the word lottery"
should be stricken out, and says the legal
position taken by his predecessor concerning
the power of the post office department to ex-
clude lotteries from use of the mails, meets
his approval Mr. Maynard rcnews the
recommendation of General Key, that news
papers containing lottery advertisements be
deprived of the privilege of the mails. 1t is
again requested that pOstmasters should be
placed under the same legal protection given
treasury officials against levy upon their
private property under judgments for acts
done in their official capacity and under
orders of the department.
