Pretty strong
reasons for trying DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. In the first
place, it cures your catarrh-
no matter how bad your case,
or of how long standing. 1t
doesn't simply palliate - it
cures. If you believe it, SO
much the better. There
nothing more to be said.
You get it for 50 cents, from
all druggists.
But perhaps you won't be-
lieve it. Then there's another
reason for trying it. Show
that you can't be cured, and
you'll get $500. It's a plain
business offer. The makers
of DR.. Sage's Remedy will
pay you that amount if they
can't cure you. They know
that they can you think
that they can't. If they're
wrong, you get the cash. If
you're wrong, you're rid Of
catarrh.

The Cars Shot-prOof Car.

When the Gar travels in Russia the
precautions taken for his safety could
not be greater if he were in the enemy's
country. A battalion Of infantry is de-
tailed for every two miles OF distance,
and, allowing 800 men as the effective
force of each battalion, every spot of
ground on both sides of the track is
covered by sentinels within easy
distance of each other. The Gar is
suddenly whirled off to the station,
accompanied by the chosen twelve of
his body guard, without pomp or cir
cumstance, swiftly and silently. The
Gar always travels in train Of five
carriages. His carriage is built in Pc
culiar style.
The windows, while ample for light,
are high, so that person sitting down
is invisible from the outside, and the
sides of the car are fortified with plates
of steel concealed in the ornamental
woodwork, but amply tstrong to resist g.
bullet. There are two sentry boxes in
the carriage, one at each end, and each
looking out at an opposite side from the
other. The guardsmen on duty in these
apartments are shut in from any obser-
walton of the interior of the carriage,
but at intervals of about two feet the
whole length of the saloon are electric
buttons COLas8lu WILL tu0 SttdIO
chambers, as we'll as with the two
carriages, one containing the suite and
the other, in the rear, occupied by the
guardsmen not on duty. SO far, there
fore, as the train itself is concerned, the
Gear could be mo more secure in st.
Petersburg
The train speeds on to it's destination
without halt, except on account of acct
dent. At distance of not less than five
miles ahead is a pioneer train, in which
the imperial director of railways and
chief engineer of the particular railway
on which the Gar is travelling always
ride. AS the pilot train whizzes by the
reserves along the line rush to arms and
guard the sides of the railway, waiting
until the imperial train has passed, SO
that the spectacle is presented of con-
tinuous lines of soldiery for hundreds
of miles. Arrived at the end of his
Journey the Gar is escorted to the
quarters intended for the imperial fam
lily.
The streets are guarded by special
constables in the attire Of citizens.
Every property owner has been called
upon to supply one or more of these
men at his own EXPENSE to do duty
when the sovereign makes public APP
pearance. The constables average one
in ten of the crowd that throngs the
streets, and, being in ordinary dress,
they can mingle with the people, note
what is said, and, perhaps, do some
thing that will obtain them regular en-
ployment among the secret police.
as spies upon the remainder, with
troops enough concentrated to stand a
formidable siege, and his faithful
guardsmen logging every step, the
Gar goes through the forms of visit
to the ancient capital of Russia or what
ever city he may choose to honor

A WATCH HUNG UP.
The Owner Went Away, and Crowd
Looked at the Timepiece.

The Owner Went Away, and Crowd
Looked at the Time piece.
A curious scene was witnessed on
Saturday afternoon at the corner OF
Eigth Avenue and Twenty seventh
Street. It was at that hour when hun
dreds pass within the space OF quarter
of an hour-1 O'Clock. Two HASTILY
dressed men had few minutes before
been engaged in earnest conversation
on the subject Of honesty and dis
honesty among the people of this city,
one contending that vast majority
were worthy of trust, while the other
maintained that the reverse was nearer
the truth Finally the one with the
high estimate of his fellow citizens
offered to hang his watch, a valuable
gold one, upon the cross-bar OF sign
post close by, and to wager a supper at
Delmonico's that if he and his friend
left it there and went away for an hour
or 80, they would find it hanging there
unmolested on their return. The bet
was promptly accepted, the watch and
chain were tied to the cross-bar in such
way that they would not fall of their
own weight, and the two men went
away.
A crowd had gathered and AIRED at
this strange proceeding. Some thought
it was an advertising trick, and that the
owner of the watch would return in a
moment and exhibit some wares to the
spectators. But the latter waited much
longer than they expected those who
did wait, and they were many-before
the owner came back. People gazed at
the watch, examined it without touch
ing it, then looked at each other and
wondered. The crowd soon in
creased to hundreds, and finally po-
liceman worked his way through to the
objective point. He demanded to
to take it down when someone suggest
ed that he had no right to touch it any
more than anyone in the crowd. He
thought so himself after moments re-
Election, and consoled himself by dis
persing the gathering as we'll as he
could but it would have taken many
more policemen to keep the curious
people moving. Meanwhile, the watch
continued to hang feet inches from
the ground in full view and reach of
everyone in the neighborhood.
At exactly 500 o'clock the owner of
the watch and his friend returned,
and the former took it down and re-
placed it in his pocket. When an on
locker exclaimed, "Why didn't some of
us do that long ago." the owner replied,
with broad smile, "because the people
of New York are honest"
1t was suggested by the more unchar-
liable spectators, however, that there
was safety in numbers, and that the
watch would not have hung undisturbed
very long if 50 many persons had not
been looking at it and each other.-NeeO

Death by Asphyxiation.

as painless and quick means of exc
cutting criminals, writes Sam Davis, of
Carson, New, to the New York World.
In the past twenty years over dozen
men have been killed by gas in the
Comstock mines. The gas was produced
by combustion of old timbers. In
several cases it came on the miners I'M
awares, and in every instance the victim
died without a tremor. One miner
was opening a bulkhead, and as he
smashed in one of the planks the gas
escaped through the opening. He was
laue hing and talking at the time, and the
instant he inhaled the gas his body
sank to the ground, word half spoken
died upon his lips, and his comrades a
few yards away were enabled to escape
uniniured. When his body was taken
out his face still wore laughing ex-
preston. Evidence could be produced
ad infinitum that asphyxiation with
certain gases is instantaneous and pain
less.

A New Lighthouse.

Mariners on the Pacific coast are re-
joicing over the rapid progress of work
on St. George lighthouse and tog-slgnal
station on Seal Rock, about eight miles
from the shore of Del Norte County,
Cal, near the Oregon line. This point
is one of extreme danger. The deep
channel between the reef and mainland
is filled with treacherous rocks, sub
merged beneath rapid and powerful
currents. In winter the shores are
dashed with huge waves, making the
scenery the grandest on the coast. 1t

An Unpopular Com.

There is one unpopular coin issued
by Uncle Sam. tits the half-dollar, and
it has tendency to work it's way back
into the treasury vaults, where it isn't
wanted. AS money nobody objects to
the half, but the popular fancy is for the
same value in another form. That is,
the average citizen prefers to have two
quarters. They are little more con-
venient. If he wants to pay out half a
dollar he can use the half or the two
quarters with even convenience, butif25
cents is to be paid out the quarter is far
the handler coin.
This may not seem to be very i'm
portant matter, but it counts in the long
run. Little by little the halves find
their way back to the government
vaults, and there they stay, like
poor relations. In fact, SO far as coming
home in disgrace goes, the half-dollar
is the prodigal son of the minis.
A very large proportion of the $20,-
OOO. 900 of fractional silver on hand at
Washington is made up of halves. This
is the lot which Secretary Foster was SO
anxious to get rid of, and about which
he talked with the New York bankers
when he made his visit here. Nobody
then manifested any wild desire to take
the Secretary's load off his shoulders.
1t is probable that good many of
the halves stored up N Washington will
be recoined into quarters and dimes.
In that way they will be more con-
yenient for popular use. And Mr.
Foster will sleep more comfortable o.

R1oT-PRovoKlNG HEADGEAR.

The Incompatible Head Covering Worn
by Newly Arrived Immigrants.
One of the many curious things which
strike an observer of the throngs that
daily land at the Barge Office is the riot
provoking headgear worn by the new
corners. Any style of hat that one
wants to see, according to his sensibili-
ties, can be seen whenever ship from
foreign shores lands It's passengers at
that institution.
If person attempted to draw conclu-
sions about the nationality of the wear
ers from the weird and unholy head
gear, he would soon find himself hope
lessly mixed up. Just why native
of sunny Italy should decorate his in
tellectual end with bearskin cap, and
an immigrant from the Scandinavian
Peninsula should come sporting bat
tered straw hat, has yet to be satisfac-
torily explained. A few days ago one
of the newcomers appeared with three
straw hats telescoped one upon the
other and worn in such a matter-of-fact
way as to disarm any suspicion of doing
wilful violence to other peoples ideas
of the eternal fitness of things.
But it is the female part of the in
coming procession whose headdressas
attract the most attention. A trio who
landed few days ago had their heaos
adorned with some gaudy material
twisted turban fashion about their ebon
locks Each headdress was pictorial as
well as picturesque, and when seen
from distance had the appearance of
lurid and indiscriminate spatter of all
the rainbow colors. One represented

eral tints flock of gayly plumaged
birds with colors known only to the

nights-which will be good thing and

Of course. lots of halves are used and
will continue to be used. Their coinage
will be kept up and nobody will have
any more difficulty in getting them
than usual. But the proportion of other
coins will be increased because the peo-
pie like them better.
