To her W astonishment, England is
slowly accumulating a respectable sur
plus. Commenting on the enormous
revenue the government is deriving
from alcoholic beverages, the Chancel-
lor of the E~xchequer says there has
been nothing like IL since 1907 the
greatest drinking years on record.
This increase in the consumption of
booze he attributes to a general in

Eight Chinese lepers were shipped
from San Francisco back to China last
week despite their despairing protests
that for them TO go back To the old
country meant certain and speedy
death. They explained that it is the

within a certain time, poison is secretly
placed i'm his food. This must be
rough OH rats-but no rougher than on
the poor lepers who eat them.

The Right View.

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Jenness Miller in the current number
of her magazine says: Even the ballet,
rightly viewed, has an educating influence
akin to that of music, poetry and paint

ultra cynical journal, responds as follows:
what then is the right view ?' Refer
ring to which somewhat important ques-
ton a b~ald-headed patron of the Brook
lyn Standard Union gives as his personal
experience that a front seat, as near as
possible to the footlights, is the best view,
and he concurs with Jenness Miller that
there is something about the ballet "akinn
to painting" though he is not SO certain
about the music and poetry.

Gen. Lee in Bronze.

handsome granite monument to the
memory of the late Gen.::R E. Lee, which
has been erected in the western part OF
Richmond, dispatch from that city
says, will be unveiled May Is. The ped
estal is to be surmounted by handsome
equestrian statue of the Confederate
chieftain in bronze, by Mercie, the
French sculptor. 1t was thought that
this work would be completed in
time for the unwilling ceremonies to
take place during the term of office of
Governor Fitz Hugh Lee, but delay in
getting the statue ready, prevented this.
His successor, though, Governor McKin-
ney, is doing all in his power to make
the occasion a memorable one in the
history, not only of the city but of the
South.
The programme for the unwilling cere-
monies has not yet been arranged, but
it is known that one of the features is to
be military parade, 1t is expected
that military organizations from all sec
lions OF the South, and maybe many
from the North, will participate in the
great pageant. Ex-Governor Lee, will
OF course, be prominent figure in the
coming event.
The sight Of the monument is at the
head of Franklin street, the most fash
ionable thoroughfare in the city. The
locality is high and commanding. The
monument can be seen at a great dis
lance in almost all directions. The
Governor has not yet heard from Mercie,
the sculptor, directly, but he under
stands that the figure is about finished,
and will certainly arrive in time for un-
yelling on the date named. Before that
time the Monument Association have
$4,000 to raise, which, it is expected,
can be done by collections in the differ
ent cities of the State.

About two years ago I took your Ono
landine"; since then my health has
been and is now as good asst ever was.
Can eat in moderation now food that
two years ago 1 dared not touch. Atthe
same time 1 was afflicted with adisease,
I believe, of the skin; for the last flt-
teen years it has been plague to me.
1t invariably made its appearance IN
February and lasted until April. When
I got warm in bed it would commence
itching. There was no eruption until l
was compelled to scratch, then little
pimple, not as large as pins head,
would appear, and then my misery
commenced. 1 have laid many cold
winters night without any covering I'M
til T could stand the cold no longer,
and then would pull the cover over me
and get snatches of sleep. I have not
felt it since taking your valuable NO
landine," which was taken for dyspep-
STA, and I believe that it has cured ME
of that plague. l write this to show you
I have been cured by your valuable
"Nolandine," invaluable to me. owe

A National Park.

A bill has been prepared by Congress
man Grosvenor establishing the Chatta-
nooga and Chicamauga National Mill
tary Park, which has the support of the
leading members of the societies of the
Army of the Cumberland. the Army of
the Tennessee and the Army of the Po-
tomac and all the leading exConfeder-
ate officers engaged in the battles indi-
Gated. 1t provides that upon jurisdic-
ton being coded to the United States by
the States of Tennessee and Georgia,
the public roads along the crest of Mis-
+si0nary Ridge from the north end at
Shermans Heights to Rossville, the
road from Rossville to Netherlands Gap,
ana the road from Rossville by way of
Lee and Gordon's mill, to Crawfish
Springs shall become approaches to and
parts of the said National Park.
Fhe park proper, to which title is to
be obtained by the United States by
condemnation and purchase after the
eeding of jurisdiction by the State of
Georgia, Elm braces the battlefield of
Chicamauga, and is to be bounded by a
line starting on the Lafayette road, Just
north Of the Cloud House, thence west
to MeFariands Gap.sthence along the
Dry Valley road to the road from Craw-
ford Springs to Lee and Gordon's mills,
thence to these mills, thence down the
Chicamauga river to Reeds bridge, and
thence TO the place of beginning, cover
ing about 1000 acres.
The affairs OF the park are to be man
aged, under the Secretary of War, by
three commissioners, and one to be an
army officer. 1t is made the duty of these
commissioners, under the Secretary of
War, to ascertain and substantially
mark all battle lines. The Chicamauga
Memorial Association, an Incorporation
under thu laws of Georgia. and the au-
thorities of any of the States which had
troops in the battles of Chicamaugh or
Chattanooga, are given the right to as
certain and mark the lines of their
troops, subject to the approval of the
Secretary OF War. who shall have the
right to decide disputed points.
Present owners of property on the field
within the proposed limits of the park
are to be allowed to remain, if they SO
desire. on their lands after purchase of

amount to little more than an agree
ment on their part to preserve he build |
ings which were standing at the time Of
the battle, and the present outlines of
fields and forests, and to help care for
and preserve the marks which may be
placed on the field. An appropriation
OF $3.50, 900 is provided for carrying the |
act into effect. The bill has been under

short time; then break out afresh. At

sensation. After using two (2) bottles
of your vegetable Nolandine" the
liberated places healed, the swelling
disappeared, natural sleep was restored.
