The Druggists

In Lowell, Mass, agree in saying that they sell more of Hoods Sarsaparilla than of all other blood purifiers. For instance:
 F. c. GOoDALE: I sell more of Hoods Sarsapa- rilla than all other blood purifiers.
 A. W. Dows ds Co.,: Hoods takes the lead of all other sarsaparillas.
 c. F. BLANCHARD: We sell more of Hoods Sar- saparilla than of any similar.
 EIARsToN lG SHAW: With us the sale of Hoods is to l of any other kind.
 F.&E. BAILEY & Co.,: Hoods sarsaparilla is one of the best medicines.
 CARLTON G HovEY: Hoods Sarsaparilla is one of the best medicines we have. Its sale increases every year.
 F.P. MooDY: We sell twice as much of Hoods Sarsaparilla as of anything similar.
 c. A. SWAN: Hoods isthe most popular sarsa- psrilla of the day.
 THIRTY OTHER druggists speak similarly. This popularity at home, where Hoods Sarsa- parilla and its proprietors have been known for many years, could not continue if the medicine did not possess merit And these facts should certainly convince people in other sections of the country that Hoods Sarsaparilla is good, reliable medicine

The reptile house at the ZOO is pro-
vided with an anteroom of a cooler
temperature, which is chiefly devoted
to the exhibition Of frogs and toads Of
many kinds. Among the former none
is more curious than the ceratophrys,
which is perhaps the most truculent
looking frog that has ever made its APP
pearance. Frogs are, as a rule, re-
slaTkable for large mouths, but this
reature is decidedly the leader among
frogs in this particular.
1t has also a bloated appearance,
which recalls that of a toad, and its
eyes are overshadowed by small horns,
which give it a remarkably evil look.
When at rest it usually buries itself in
the soil, but when annoyed in any
way it sweils itself out, like the frog
in Asop. On these occasions it actu-
ally banks with rage. and will, we are
informed, infiict a tolerably severe
bite on any one holding it. This I'M
phibian comes from South America.
In a state of nature it is cannibal, or
something very like it, since it willie de
your other frogs without any com
junction .-LOndon Standard.

MEN WHO RUN.

Private advices from New Zealand bring
Information that on account of "A very
strong wind blowing behind the runners
in the 100 yard and hurdle races at the
championship games last winter, the per
formances will not go on record. The rec
ords caused authorities in America to
doubt their fairness, but the explanation
received lately makes the matter plain
C. II. Sheriff., OF Yale college, the inter
collegiate champion Splinter, makes the
ninth amateur who has covered 100 yards
in 10 seconds. He did this performance at
the recent spring games of his college.
He ran last year 30 many times In 10 Is
seconds that authorities said 1t was simply
a question OF a good track and day when
he would do even time.
The recent injury to John Owen, Jr., of
the Detroit Athletic club, will retire him
from games for some time, but those who
are Interested in the amateur champion
Splinter will be glad to learn hat he Is not
seriously hurt. Severe abrasions and flesh
wounds are all that he received by his fall.
The latest story about Harry Bethune,
the professional Splinter, who with ii. M.
Johnson holds the best record, As seconds
for running 100 yards, is that he has been
left q fortune by his uncle In Scotland.
The probabilities are that IL this flyer il
going abroad it Is not for the purpose of in
quiring into an estate, but for some scheme
connected with foot racing.

ms Experience of a Wealthy Bachelor in
Buying Wedding Presents.
Tho AMOUNT Of shopping for we'd
ding gifts that is going on is some
thing tremendous, and the man who
at the club the other day remarked
that he had concluded to be married,
so that he could shift to the shoulders
OF his wife the responsibility Of max
ing dinner calls and Of buying wed
ding gifts, was answered by a groan of
sympathy from all the bachelors pres
emit And the mention of wedding
gifts recalls one of the bits OF light but
somewhat amusing gossip floating
here. THE tale tells" as William
Morris says in beginning his new vol
ume, that in times" not ''long past"
there was a wealthy and artistic bach
elor in Boston who sent to an acqusint-
ance as a wedding gift a set OF berry
spoons Of a fashion peculiar and
unique. They pleased him much, but
they did not please the bride at all,
and, she, therefore, quietly took them
back to the house where they were
bought and exchanged them. In the
course Of the winter the gentleman
went to the same jeweler to procure
a wedding gift for another friend,
saw and recognized the spoons,
bought and presented them, still un-
marked, to the second bride. She liked
them no better than did her friend,
and, like her friend, she took them
back to the silversmith. But in full
ness OF time the original donor of the
spoons took unto himself n wife, and
then one Of his friends who had not
heard of the first repurchase went to
the jeweler and said to him:
you know what Mr.. ]. would like.
Tell me what to give him as a wedding
present"
"Ithink, " answered the ieweler with
a smile, that he must like these
spoons pretty well, for he has bought
them twice"
Then he shall have them" was the
reply; ''but ] really think it will be
well to have them marked this time,
so that they shall not come back
again"
And so it came about that the unique
and most artistically ugly spoons came
into the possession Of Mr.. j., who de
clares that they are the handsomesi
berry spoons that he ever saw.-Bos

Emple,m.n, for N. whl.tllnr Boy.

Every Saturday morning a crowd
Of small boys gather about the door of
a bakery in Columbia street. The
temptation is a chance to earn fifty
cents for n days work offered by the
baker. The small boy is employed to
pick over dried currants and ~raisins,
to remove the stems from them and Gull
out the utterly worthless. But the
baker does a little culling among the
boys before he employs them, and his
mode OF selection is original and curl
Gus. As each urchin enters the august
and aproned presence OF the chief cook
he is asked:
DO YOU know how TO whistler
The smart little boy, who is not as
truthful as the Father of his Country
and has not posted himself in regard
to the civil service requirements OF the
employment he seeks, u~nblushingly
a y "Nawr he does not whistle. He
also does not pick raisins. The next
boy is both truthful and posted. He
answers the bakers question with a
bar from the classical McGinty over
ture, and is Immediately introduced to
the room within where with n score of
others he is to find engagement. When
all the boys who have passed the ex-
animation satisfactorily are in their
places the baker brings in the bags of
raisins and currants. Each boy is
given a portion aud told to whistle.
The wisdom of the bakers scheme is
that as long as there is music floating
out from the lips Of the urchin there
could exist no opportunity for raisins
and currants to fioatin. The scheme
works well, at least while the ingen-
ious baker is present. The concert suf-
fers Reorganization if he chances to
leave the room. His sudden reappear-
ance on such infrequent occasions
cause efforts to resume that are pa
thetic and distressing. II any one fails
to understand the difficulties that the
emergency presents let him fill his
mouth full OF dried currants and try
to whistle. Brooklyn Eagle.

THE Denver Netrs says: THE CHEY-
EssE LEADER is OF the opinion that the
cattle market has touched bottom and is
now on the upward grade and moving
back toward its old time prosperity. 1t
asserts that the supply has reached a nor
NAL basis, and the demand being close on
its heels, a permanent advance in prices
NAV be looked for. In New Mexico
there has already been an advance of 81
per head on steers, SO that all along the
cattle ranges, from the northern border to
the Panhandle of Texas. better times may
be expected for stockmen.
The Neios might have made its state
ment very much strongcr without trans
cending the facts. As far as we can learn
not q single large or small bunch of cattle
can now be purchased 10 Wyoming. Alb
solute confidence and security and up
ward tendency Of the market now pre-
walls. No better evidence Of this can be
found than the TACT that a dozen men are
now ready to buy where one is ready to
sell A Cheyenne man who had a bunch
of 300 head OF steers was approached a
few days ago by a purchaser and asked to
name his price for them. As be wasn't
anxious to sell he placed the figures high
enough to shut the purchaser out, as he
believed, He was surprised if not graft
fed to have his offer taken on the spot
aud to be h,nded a check for the amount

offer a year aRo. although now it is con-

YACHTING NOTES.

At least half OF the yachts in American
waters are steam. Fifteen years ago this
wasn't even thought Of.
The new deed of gift of tho Americas
cup, which obliges the challenging party
to give a notice of ten months, has been
very severely criticised on the other side.
1t will be a stumbling block and a subject
for controversy for some time to come, and
will no doubt be a great bar to another in
ternational yacht race.
There are 100 organized yacht clubs In
the United States at the present time, hav-
ing a membership Of 10000 with a capital
OF S5O,OOO.
The fact that there will be no Interna-
tSonAl yacht race this year, is noticed in the
dearth of any new racing material. The
only new racing yacht being turned out is
one designed by Mr.. Burgess for a Staten
Island man. The yacht will be a sloop,
forty-one feet over all.
The Mnyfower is now enrolled in the
Eastern Yacht club.

1884 as a member OF the Union Pacific team,
of Omaha, Neb. He was with Kansas City
in 1885, but finished the season with the
Rochester club of the newly organized New
York State league. He ranked fourth in
batting and had Il good fielding record.
During seasons of 1888 and 1887 he WAS still
a member OF the Rochester club, whore he
continued to do good work.
There being some uncertainty as to Roch-
ester having a team In 1888 he Joined the
Hamilton, Ont, club, also Of the Interna-
tional association. Visner kept up his fine
work and made a great record for himself,
both in batting and in fielding. He caught
in sixty-four games, and ranked third in
the official fielding averages. At the close
Of that season there was a great demand
for his services, but he was finally induced
to sign with Brooklyn. His work with
that team was first class, and helped the
club to gain Its pennant, This season he
is playing right field for the Pittsburg
club Of the Players league.

The Preventive of a Terrible Disease.

No disorders, excepting the most dead
ly forms Of lung disease, involve such a
tremendous destruction Of organic tissue
as those which fasten upon the kid
neys. Such maladies, when they become
chronic-and none are 80 liable to assume
that phase-oompletly wreck the system.
To prevent this disease. recourse should
be had, upon the first manifestation of
trouble, to Hostetter's Stomach Bittcrs,
which experience has proved to be highly
effective as a means of imparting tone and
regularity to the organs OF urination. as
well as to the liver, stomach,,and bowels.
Another beneficial result OF this medicine,
naturally consequent upon its diuretic &C
ton. is the elimination from the blood Of
impurities which beget rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, govt, dropsy, and other maladies,
By increasing the activity of the kidneys,
it augments the depurative efficiency OF
these organs, which are most important
outlets for the escape OF such impurities,

GEr DOR N 10 WORK.

Ev erybody now appreciates the neces-
sitY for prompt and decisive action on
the statehood question. The Wyoming
bill is resting too securely in its place on
the senate file and as matters stood a few
days ago was lisble to die Of pure inani-
ton. The movement in favor Of its
passage was enveloped like a pail with
stasuation which was rapidly deEenerat-
ing into absolute indifference If not
paralysis.
Such a case required prompt action
and heroic remedies. II stagnation at
Washington was met with cherries in
difference in Wyoning-if the people here
remained inactive and apparently careless
of the result-ihe termination OF the
movement, began under such favorable
auspices and prosecuted for a time with
such enthusiastic yiRor, might be readily
predicted. The bill would die Of dry rot
on the senate calendar and the high hopes
of the people Tor statehood would be
crushed perhaps for years TO come.
That the Board Of Trade and real es
tate exchange should, under these cir
cumstances, 81 promptly meet the emer-
sency deserves public commendation.
They, with the masses Of the people, be-
heve in making a vigorous fight for the
victory which well directed effort will
place within their grasp. 1t is unneces-
sary to urge upon the people Of Cheyenne
tina; the meeting at the Open house neIt
Thursday evening should be largely at
tended. Every man 10 the town should
feel it his duty TO attend and by his pres
encc give expression to the faith that is
in him. A set OF resolutions should be
adopted which will effectually cover the
ground, while at the same time urgently
pressing upou the senate the justice OF
our claims for complete enfranchisement.
But above all things we would urge the
necessity OF sending a delegation-the
larger the better to Washington. These
gentlemen while on the ground could
meet and effectually dispose Of any objec-
tons which might be raised to our admis-
sion. and through personal solicitation
effect results otherwise impossible to at
tain.
The matter has now reached such =
critical stage that every individual citizen
in the territory has a direct personal in
terest IN its final disposition. 1t is there
fore no more than just and right that
every town in the territory through its
constituted authorities should give strong
Official expression to the intensity Of local
feeling on the question OF admission. Sc
far the private interest felt has never re-
ceived adequate public expression. This
of all tunes is the most oIporthne and
the duty should not be neglected for a
single hour longer than is absolutely
necessary.
In addition to all this every friend Of
Wyoming who has an acquaintance in the
senate should unite his personal appeal
for speedy action to the general territorial
clamor. Concentrated pressure from
widespread sources will soon put a very
INHERENT face on the matter.

Little Difference ELic;l.

The political pot continues to boil
and things are good deal mixed In
the Republican ranks there are but
two leading candidates for mayor,
Mr. Martin Pattison having permit
ted the use of his name since cur last
issue With Connor and Pattlson IN
the field the party cannot get badly OF
the track let it take whichever it may.
Mr.. Pattison came out little late and
we have had no opportunity of finding
out his strength at Connor's Point or
at the West End. He Will take into
the city convention solid delegations
from the first and second wards, and
probably the third ward. lie also
stands fair show of carrying the fifth
ward. If he can get into the conysn-
tion with this strength he stands a
good chance Of getting the nomination
if not DR. Conner takes it.
Both are good men and true Repub-
leans and personally we are friendly
to both The last convention did not
treat the Doctor fairly and he no
doubt has some claims upon the party
now. On the other hand the West
End has had the first mayor and when
the East End presents an unobjectlon-
abb eman for the place shls year efeel
that not only the candidate but the
people also have claims upon the party
which ought to be recognized. Every
body knows Mr.. Pattison and in
knowing him all must admit that in
him the East End presents good,
clean, upright man, a man whom the
whole city can well afford to support
heartily.
The caucusses will be held this eve
ming friday and the conventions are
called SO late that we can give no re
ports this week We hope however
that When the party representatives
get together they will give all local.
ties and all individual interests due
consideration. From party stand
point it will matter little which of
these candidates is nominated, but
from sectional and other causes it may
make good deal of difference in the
results election day.
