Harrison calls Down Blaine.

WASHINGTON, D. G., May 6.-President
Harrison, whose fingers have been itching
for some time past to eheckmate Secretary
Blaine and his friends, has concluded to
act in determined manner regarding the
seal question. Russell Harrison has been
the one person to influence the President
to yield TO Elltns and Blaine, but now Rus
sell has been tossed aside and the Chief
Executive will probably order his Secre-
tary of State to accept the proposition of
the British government for close season.
By this act President Harrison will take
entire credit to himself for the good likely
to ensue and will saddle the Secretary Of
State with the shortcomings of the past.

The iirrlight shadows Tutoring go,

And softly from another room

And somehow with that little prayer
And that sweet treble in my ears,
My thoughts 60 back to distant years
And lnger with loved one there;
And us hear my child's amen,
My mothers faith comes back to me;

And mother holds my hands again.
Oh, for an honr in that dear place
Oh, for the pence Of that dear time
Oh, for that childish trust sublime
oh, for glimpse If mothers face
Yet, as the shadows round me creep,
do not seem to be alone,
Sweet magic of that treble tone,

CHICAGO, May 7.-Dispatches from vari-
Gus points in Illinois tell Of heavy frosts
which visited this state Tuesday night.
Much damage was done to fruit and vege-
tables. Strawberries suffered severely.
Local dealers do not fear much injury to
fruit crops from the recent frosts and cold
snap. Should the cold weather continue,
however, the damage WI be very heavy.
II is yet too early TO estimate how much OF
the fruit is killed, but the dealers say that
even If fourth of the crop is Il total loss
there will still be enough to make big
output.
In the opinion of dozen large South
Water street merchants the prospects are
good for successful fruit season, the buds
now being too young to feel any effects
from the cold. Growers from Michigan
reported yesterday that the crops, were
greatly damaged. There will probably be
strawberries i'll plenty.
1t will be a good thing for both the
growers and merchants il half Of the fruit
crop is destroyed, said a dealer There Is
no profit in handling big quantities at
cheap prices.
LEBANON. IND, May S.-The severe
frosts, together with the low temperature,
have damaged the prospects for fruits in
this vicinity. Strawberries and grapes are
blasted and at present grave fears are
entertained for wheat.
THE STRAWBERRIES KILLED
WABASH, IND, May S.-1he severe frosts
of last night have killed the entire straw
berry crop and other early fruits are badly
injured. Wheat ON the bottom lands is
hurt somewhat.

Beware of ointments for Catarrh That
Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
OF smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on pre-
scriptions from reputable physicians, as
the damage they will do is ten fold to
the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by +. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo, o.,
contains no mercury, and is taken inter-
