IS not only distressing complaint, of l itself, but, by causing the blood to become depraved and the system en- feebled, is the parent of innumerab1e maladies. That Ayers SarsaparilIa is the best cure for Indigestion, even when complicated with Liver Complaint, is proved by the following testimony from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Broadway Centre, Mich.:-
 'Liver complaint and indigestion made my life a burden and came near ending my existence. For more than four years suffered untold agony, was reduced almost to @ skeleton, and hardly had strength to drag myself about. All kinds of food distressed me, and only the most delicate could be digested at all. Within the time mentioned several physicians treated me without giving re- lief. Nothing that I took seemed to do any permanent good until commenced the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which has produced wonderful results. Soon after commencing to take the Sarsapa- condition. My appetite began to return and with it came the ability to digest all the food taken, my strength 1m- proved each day, and after few months of faithful attention to your directions foqnd oqtsna myseHb 4G sI bonseTo1d %sa duties.

TYPHOID TREATMENT.

A high medical authority in New
York publishes paper upon the treat
meht of typhoid fever that will be of in
terest wherever that fatal disease gets
in much work. 1t is shown by an ex-
tended range of figures from the large
hospitals of this and other countries,
that the current and regular treatment
allows death rate ranging from about
222 to 42 per cent. The writer urges the
abandonment of the old methods and
substitution of the cold bath treatment.
This has been tried in the German mill
tary hospitals with the most surprising
results. Out of 19,0f7 cases treated with
''all kinds Of cold baths." the mortality
was 100 per cent. Out Of 2.s41 cases
with intermediate, with water" as the
treatment, the death rate was 1872 per
cent. Of 2,19s cases treated with ''striet
cold water" the mortality was IL per
cent, and of 2,150 patients treated in
this way before the disease had prog
ressed five days, none died. That locks
like pretty liberal margin in favor of
cold baths. But it is not the system of
the schools, and physicians will not be
very rapid in adopting it.

GEORGES WASHINGTON.

Inasmuch as the celebration of
WASHINGTON birthday is growing to
he custom more honored in the breach
than in the observance, it is peculiarly
gratifying that the members Of the
Loyal Legion have undertaken to re-
vive interest in this ''day of days" for
the American people by inaugurating a
public celebration under the auspices
of the commandery at the state capitol
this afternoon. The ceremonies will be
opened with prayer by Archbishop IRE
LAND, national hymns will be sung. an
address which promises to be of unus-
ual interest will be delivered by the
venerable DIR. NELL, and as a fitting
climax to the days celebration. WASH
INGToN's farewell address will be read
by Attorney General CLAPP.
There is no surer indication that the
fires of patriotism are burning low than
the loss of respect for the nation siliustri-
Gus dead. 1t is true that century utter
venes between us and GEORGE WASH
INGToN, and the lapse of hundred
Years has weakening effect on the
sense of veneration. But the name of
WASHINGTON is so intimately blended
with the principle of free government,
his life and services are SO diStinctiyely
part of our political institutions, that
to lose veneration for his memory means
the decadence of patriotism in the land.
He should not only be first, but he
should be ever in the hearts of his coun-
men. And there can be no better way
to teach the risen and rising generations
the lesson of loyalty and devotion to the
principles of American government
than to have them congregate together
OH the day which celebrates the noted
anniversary of the country's father. and
| Sen to those wonderful words of wis
dom inscribed in his farewell address.
We can never forget our political birth
right as long as we keep the name of
WASHINGTON in remembrance. He
stands now, and will forever stand as
sublime and anappfoaehable example of
virtue and love of country. Freedom
loving people from all four quarters Of
the globe point to his matchless life as
an evidence of its superiority, and hu-
manity itself assumes new dignity be-
cause the name of WASHINGTON has
been written in her records.

was running before strong northeast

hour, the ship went aground on
a sand bank with great force. The
second mate and eight of the crew took
a boat and pulled for the shore. On
landing they were surrounded by about
500 natives who mobbed them and took
away their clothes. They were subse-
quently taken care of by the officials
from the British consulate. who sent
them on to Tamsui. On Tuesday. Jan.

however, that they left the wreck i'll the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The presf-i
dents reception to the public, the last
OF his state receptions, drew tremen-
dous crowd to the White house tonight.
Although the reception did not begin
until o'clock the crowd began to-
gather about 6, and shortly after z
o'clock there were several hundred per-
sons on the portico of the White house
who had come early in order to secure
eligible places in line. The gathering
increased in numbers very rapidly, and
it was with some difficulty that the
crowd was got in line two abreast. In
the meanwhile great number
of people who had received cards
of invitation were admitted by
the exit door; so that when
the president and party came down
stairs and took their places in the blue
room, the public rooms and corridors of
the White house were crowded so that
it was nearly 10 O'Clock before they
were sufficiently clear of people to per
NIT those waiting in line outside to be
admitted. At l0 o'clock the crush was
Immense, and there was closely packed
line OF people extending from the en-
trance of the White house down the
western approach to the gateway and
about block OF so along Pennsylvania
avenue. The crowd seemed to be good
natured and waited with patience in
the chilly atmosphere for their opp0r-
tunlty to shake hands with the pfesi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland.

He was born in New York about 1926

making the long journey around the
Horn. He had troublesome times, dis
appointments and failures and plenty OF
hard work until 1854. when he became
the Leading partner in the firm of Flood
& OBrien. They kept liquor saloon
and sort of an exchange. In 1862
these men made their first investment
in the COnsteck lode, Nevada. John
w. Maekay joined them in 1869 and
James G. Fair became the fourth part

jeeted the Nevada bank in company
with Fair and Maekay. 1t was just

heavy call OH the California bank which

IDLE. RDYS

Some figures and facts recently gath
cred show that the question. s'How
shall American boys learn trades?'
is becoming one of the large and trouble
some ones. The labor organizations
have restricted the number of appren-
tices in the shops and factories so that
the boys who want to learn trades have
no chance. In Pennsylvania the state
compiler Of such matters estimates that
there are over 100000 boys past the
school age in that state who are idle,
and ought to be acquiring some trade.
Boys are an inevitable and rather de-
sirable factor in society. Unless they
are to grow up to be statesmen OF
tramps only. they should have chance
to become skilled mechanics. The ques-
ton seems to be a growing one.

would be followed by bill to establish
distrist councils in England. He hoped
the house would leave the subject OF
Ireland for separate debate. Several
minor speeches followed, criticising the
governments policy. Sir James Fer
guss0n, under foreign secretary, said
the British government could not be
held responsible for the commercial and
mission stations on Lake NyanZa.
The government had protested against
the attempt of Portugal to close the
ZambeSi, and has asserted the right of
the occupants OF the stations to import
freely any arms and munitions they re-
CURED. In explaining the position in
East Africa he declared that British in
terests had not suffered from Germany'3
action, nor from tue blockade, but that,
on the contrary, British trade and rela-
tions with the natives had steadily im-
proved. The government hoped that
the Samoan conference would be at
tended with the happiest results. In
defending the results of
THE CHAMBERLAIN MISSION
to the United States, he denied that the
mission had been failure, as the tenn
porary arrangement had worked so well
that no English or American vessel had
been seized. He denied that friendly
relations between England and America
had been interrupted by the Sackville
incident. Those ties, he said, were 100
close to be SO easily brokers Mr.. Byrce
criticised the conduct of the govern
men in regard to Zanzibar and
Samoa and asked information in
regard to the refusal of the government
to accept Americas invitation to mar
time conference. Sir James Ferguson
admitted that in consequence of an er-
ror ill imparting the invitation the gov
ernment at first refused. When the er-
ror was reetified the government Of
fered to accept the invitation, but it
was then found too late 20 hold the
meeting of such body in Washington.
1t is universally admitted in political
circles that the session in parliament
just opened will be the fiercest on re-
cord as regards legislative fighting.
Measures affecting Ireland will be Wig
ilantly watched by the Irish members.
Mr.. Gladstone concurs in this opinion.

TIE NEXT SENATE.

The reelection of Senator KENNA
Yesterday by the West Virginia legisla-
ture is mainly significant i'll that it
shows the ability of the West Virginia
Democrats to maintain their organiza-
ton in the face OF the most demoral-
lzing conditions that even confronted
a party The close Democratic margin
of one majority on point ballot, was
temptation to the Republicans to resort
to corrupt influences to gain a senator.
The Republican senatorial nominee is
shrewd politician. man of large
wealth. and it looked at one time as If
he was going to succeed in capturing
the prize. Only two days of the legis-
latiye session remained with KENNA's
forces in a badly demoralized state.
Democratic leaders throughout the
country realized that crisis had been
reached in West Virginia politics, for
KENNA's defeat under the circum-
stances meant the dismemberment of
the Democratic party in West Virginia
and the permanent transfer of political
power in the state to the Republicans.
Consequently it became necessary for
the Democrats to make heroic effort
to cement party organization, to bring
the kickers into line, and to close up
the ranks for the final contest. The
effort was successful and Mr.. KENNA
goes back to the senate, and West Vir-
ginia's electoral vote is safe for the
next Democratic presidential candidate.
Tha resuIt in West Virginia leaves
the Republicans with two majority in
the next senate, not counting the repre-
sentation from the four new states that
will be admitted by December. The
chances are favorable to the Democrats
in Montana and Washington with all
the edds in favor of the Republicans in
the two Daketas, SO that the Repub-
lican majority in the senate may hot bc
increased even after the admission Of
