HEAD MONEY.

Workings of the New Law-Its Constitu-
tionality to be Tested.
New YORK, Aug. 17.-Under the new head
money law demand has been made upon the
Havana Steamship Company for fifty cents
per head for forty-four alien cabin passengers
brought from Havana in the steamer City Of
Washington yesterday and upon twenty pas
sengers brought from Havana last week on
another steamer. The company refused to pay
the head money and the custom officers refused
to clear the steamer City of Alexandria for
Havana today until the sum was paid, and the
company forwarded protest to the secretary
of the treasury. 1t is reported some steamship
company will contest the constitutionality of
the act on the ground the constitution does not
empower Congress to levy duty on persons.

From the Springfield Republican,
A GENEROUS ACT
That Will be Appreciated by Ali WHO Care
for Their Complexion and Skin.

1t is not generally known that the nervous system
has wonderful influence over the skin, bnt this is
a fact known to medical men who have given much
of their time to the study of diseases of the skin
No one can have clear and fair complexion un-
mixed with blotches pimples who is very nervous.
Whatever tends to a healthful condition of the
nervous system always beauties the complexion
Some skin diseases not attended by visible signs
the surface, but intolerabe itching that rem
ders life miserable.
We cory the following deserving and interesting
compliment from the Tribune which says: CDR. G.
w. Benson's New Remedy, SKIN CURE, is received
by the public with great confidence, and it is re-
garded as a very generous act on the Doctors part
to make known and prepare for general use his val
liable and favorite prescription for the treatment
of skin Diseases after having devoted almost his en-
tire life the study and treatment of nervous and
skin diseases, in which he took great delight. He
was for a number of years Physician in charge OF
the Maryland Infrmary on Dermatoogy and any
thing from his hands is accepted as authori-
ty and valuable. The remedy is fully the article to
attack the disease both internally, through the
blood and externally, through the absorbents, and
is the only reliable and rational mode of treatment.
These preparations only put up for general use
after having been used by the Doctor in his private
practice for ears with the greatest success, and
they fully merit the confidence of all classes of su
erers from skin Diseases This is for sale by all
druggists Two bottles internal and external treat
ment in one package. Don't be persuaded to take
any other. 1t costs one dollar.
