Ayers Pills

Never fail to relieve the bowels and pro-
mote their healthful and regular action,
and thus cure Dyspepsia. Temporary
palliatives all do permanent harm. The
ftful activity into which the enfeebled
stomach Is spurred by "bitters," and aico-
holic stimulants, is inevitably followed
by reaction that leaves the organ weaker
than before.

habits of life, became chronic; AYERS PILLS

TIE Turks are seldom awakened from their lethargy save by pros pect Of imminent danger, and there must be information afloat in Europe that is not given to the pub, lie when the Turkish Grand Visier is willing to state openly that the Porte is ready to make an alliance w::h England. The Turkish Govern ment has no love for England, for the Turks are still very sore over the Soudan fasco, claiming as they do that the trouble could have been easily and appropriately settled by the Turkish troops.

I Cherry Creek, which flows through Denver, was one of the streams fo ,ded oy last nights cloud burst on the "di vide" north of Colorado Springs.

At io'clock this afternoon ranchman living fifteen miles up ..le creek rode into town and gave warning of a coming food. Every body living along the banks of the creek were harriedly noti- jed, and the timely warning undoubt. ediy saved many lives. At 6:30 to- "ight the ringing of tine tire bells gae the alarm Of the fyod's approach and thousands of people were soon on the
 
 banks of the creek. The first wave which came down, was about three feet high. ], was immediately follow ed by other waves, untl the water was ,u;side of tue banks and flowing in a mad torrent Bridge after bridge in he city limits were swept away. The principal bridges, however, held their own. All manner of wrecks, horses. cows and driitwood came down with the food. The following bridges are out: the Coifax avenue bridge, tle Denver and Rio Grandc Railway transfer hridse-on which was standing five cars filled with coal-the Wazee street foot bridge and the Denver and New Orleans freight and passenger bridge. The county bridge at Arlington, south of the city, was also carried out.
 A camp-meeting was in progress near the latter Daned bridge. Tie large congregation wss compelled to fee fer their lives, and :he tcn!s and other belongings uf the crmp were swep. away. The Denver and Rio Crande Express stab es were destroyed, and eight wagons Roaiei off The billing along the banks 0; the creek was ds- stroyed in many I.laccs, and whole acres of ground washed into the stream.

A number Of bridges on the lines of the Denver and Rio Gfande and the Den yer and New Orleans outside of this city are reported as having gone with the torrent. Two thousand excursion ists, who left Denver this morning for the South, are caught between the wa ters.

O1d Facts from Mexico.

When you hire a servant IN Mexico,
saws a Mexican letter to the New York
sun, it is expected that his or her entire
family will reside with you. The husband
of your cook may be shoemaker, or a
hackman, or a saloon keeper, but when
his days duty is done he goes to the
house where his wife is living, sleeps
there, and takes his meals at your table;
and the same rulesapplies to children.
You NAV hire a chambermaid, and board
her husband and eleven children. There
is no alternative; no evasion of the GUS
toms of the country, This system is not
so expensive as it seems, however, for a
whole family will sleep in single room.
and they don't need much but cornbread
and beans to eat.
The poems. as all Mexican Indians are
called. make excellent servants. They
are respectful, Obedient, perfectly honest,
neat. and obey instructions implicitly.
Like the Chinese, they learn by imita-
ton, and seldom need more than one les
son. doing the same thing over and over
in the same way until they are told to
stop.
The Mexican stage coach always has
two drivers-One to hold the reins, and the
other to do the whipping. The latter
carries bag of stones to throw at the
leaders.
The postal system is very primitive.
After the arrival of every mail clerk
writes the names Of those persons for
whom there are letters on a big sheet,
which is posted up outside the delivery
window. 1t saves the Postmaster from an
sWpring questions.

LEADEN-HEELED JUSTICE.
low the French Claims Dragged Their
Way Through Congress for Genera

How the French Claims Dragged Their
Way Through Congress for Genera
tions.
The Presidenthas signed the bill sending
the French spoliatiOn claims to the Court
of Claims, says a Washington special.
This closes the first chapter in the long
history of this most remarkably pro-
lOnged case. For eighty-five years these
claims have been before Congress. Forty
four separate committee reports have
been made upon them and only three were
adverse. Twice has Congress passed bills
for the relief of these claimants and each
time the President has met it with veto.
Presidents Pierce and Polk vetoed the
bills for these claims. The great names
tached TO reports in favor of these claim
ants. Rufus Choate, Henry Clay and
Charles Sumner have urged their pay
nent. 1t is a noteworthy fact that the
first report in their favor was made by
Andrew Gregg, who was the grandfather
Of Andrew Curtin, the Chairman OF the
House Committee of Foreign Affairs, who
submitted the final and triumphant one.
Begun with Grandfather Gregg, the case
has triumphed in the last years Of his
Grandson Curtin. The benefit of the act
will 90 to the grandchildren of the ori5i-
nal claimants. The history of the case
shows that over 90 per cent. of these
claims are still held in the hands of the
descendants of the original claimants.
These claims grew out of depredatiOns
made upon our commerce by the French
during the close of the last century. By
the treaty of 1900 our government as
sumed the French liabilities for the losses.
Charles Sumner estimated the amount of
the claims at $12. 100000 Ii it not proba-
bic at this late time this entire amount
can be proved up, as many of the fami-
lies, through poverty and the lapse of
time, may be unable to either present or
prove up their cases. The bill as it now
stands as a law merelyrefers the cases to
the court for their proper ascertainment
of the exact amount due each person.
The findings of the court will not cOnsti-
tute judgment, but it is understood that
Congress will promptly pay the findings
of The court. Gov. Curtin is anxious to
secure some supplemental legislation,
and will introduce soon bill providing
for the pay of a person to act for the gov
eminent in protecting the poorer claim
ants from the hands of spectators. He
says from 80 to 40 per cent. Of the claim
ants are too poor to look after their own
interests. lie thinks it the duty of the
government to bear this expense for them
and to see that competent person is ap-
pointed and paid to look after them.
