A Challenge. A Book Free.

We never saw as sweeping a claim
as the publishers of Kings Hand
book Of the United States" make for
that book. They say:
having half the type, one-fitth the
illustrations, and any maps of equal
excellence, at the same price, and we
will give YOU a copy free. There is
ne trick in these words-we mean
them III the spirit in which you read
them"
Americas most complete printing
coucern is the Art-Priniing Works of

Buffalo, the publishers of ibis book !;

of prominent educators and statesmen
assisted ia editing Sr revising 1t, and
every word, cut and map are new and

the field with figures from the new

of the greatness and glory Of "Our
Country" as it is to-day, at the thresh-
old of the Worlds Fair. We under

A Feast of Roses.

In the days of the Roman empire
the company at great dinners refined
upon pillows stuffed with rose-leaves :;
more rose leaves and blossoms sirewed
the floor beneath them. When An
tony was Cleopalra's guest she enter
tanned him with daily feasts. On he
las, day, as climax of hospitality,
she gave him feast OF roses. he
flowers, fresh and fragrant, covered the
floar TO the depth of IS inches, and a
strong netting was stretched above
them, so that people might walk on
them without C ushing them.
But even this entertainment was out
done by Nero's feast, al which be
spent sum equivalent to $4,000 Tor
reses,-a fine order for his nurseryman.
They not ony garlanded the walls,
wreathed the guests, HE'D the cushions,
and covered the floor, but a rose-leaf
pudding TEN pied the appeltes OF the
jewellers, while roses showered down
on them from hole in the ceiling.
Hcligobalus also invited some
friends 10 dine under a rose-shower,
bul, through the malice prepease of
the host, or the stupidity sf his SER
wants, The shower became \ Storm; the
flowers rained down so heavily that
several persons slffocated under their
fragrant abundance. This dinner is
the subject Of a painting by the great
colorist Alma Tadcma. While the
artist was at work his daughters took
turns in showering rose-eaves before
him, that he might catch the effect of
light shining through them as they
fell. This he has done with such
success as to delight the critics. Hello
gabalu, balhed in an extract of roses.
and he even had the public swimming
baths filled with 1t. When a Roman
noble entertained Nero, perhaps in
social return for an invitation 10 the
$3.50, 900 dinner, the host went to
enormous expense to have all his
fountains flingirg up rose-water.-

In the Nick OF Time.

The nick of time to step the course
of bladder and kidney complaints is
when The organs concerned exhibit a
tendency to grow inactive. The health
ful impulse toward activity that they
receive from Heslelter's Stomach Bit
tiers rescues them from impending dan
ger, and averls such dangerous mala-
dies as Bright's disease and diabetes.
Sluggishness of the kidneys increases
9 liability to chronic rheumatism, govt
and drepsy, and since the blosd is
filtered by these organs ia Its passage
through them, the operation of the
Btters serves a doubly happy pur-
pose. Tue medicine acts without ex-
citing, like the fiery stimulanls OF COM
merce. Malarial, dyspeplic, cousii-
pated aud nervous inyalIds are
thoroughly relieved by it. Since the
advent OF that shocking malady, la
grippe, it has been widely demonstrate
ing lis usefulness as curative and
preventive of it.

Mexican Lead Ores.

Tbs old fight is on regarding the
Importation of Mexican lead ores int
the United States. There are no new
fsassns given why the old rule should
be enacted except that since the law
made to take effect there have been
some shelters erected In Mexico, and
Mexico has increased the tariff on
agricultural products from the United
States. This last we do not believe,
bnt we care nsthing about 1t, anyway.
slftsd down, It amounts TO just this,
that the men who have SINE ling plants
At Ell Paso, Khusss City and New
Jersey are crazy to get lead ores from
Mexico without paying any duty on
them. To do this their friends in
Cengrsss tell the ceuntry how bitter
the hardships will be for the smelling
industry unless this shall he accom-
plished. That hardship weighs prob
ably upon 100 or $50 out of the mil
lions Of the United States. They have
net, fortunately, the cheek Ia dare to
show that thu consumers Of lead in the
United States are being wropged by
this state Of affairs; they dare not do
that, because when they were receiving
lead ores free and at greatly redsced
rates were producing manufactured
lead. they made combine and raised
the price Of all the lead products 10
10 the country 25 per cent. They say
II 10 q hardship upon tho men whe
mina dry sres that they cannet have
free fiuxing ores from Mexico. This
10 simply falsehood, as has been re-
peatedly shown There are plenty of
f1uxing ores in Nevada, Utah and ldshe
70 reduce all the dry ores of the coun-
try. The only trouble is that in Ne
vada, Utah and Idaho the men who
mine the ores are white men who re.
csive generous wages for their Ia Dor /;
whereas the men in Mexico who do
the mining, work tor from 35 10 IS
cents day.
The talk about the agriculture 10 all
. humbug, because the one State of
Colorado buys more of the agricultural
products Of the Eastern States Than AL
Mexico dses. In the way of mining
machinery, tools, powder, candles, in
deed all manner Of mining supplies,
Colorado buys more from Eastern
States every year than Mexico has
bought since that country has achieved
its independence from old Spain, more
than three score years ago.
The only argument there is in favor
OF this measure when all that is foolish
aAd weak 10 stricken from it is that

Over 10000 Republican Votes Thrown

Over 10000 Republican Votes Thrown
Out on Account of Technicalities.
BosroN, Nov. 24.-Lieutenant Gov
ernor Halle, the republican candidate
against Governor Russell, claims that
he was defeated by 10000 votes being
thrown out because the voter had put
cross before lHaiie's name and also be-
fore that Of Wolcott Hamlin, the pro-
hibition candidate for governor, mis-
taking that name for Roger Wolcott,
the republican candidate for lieutenant
governor.
At the meeting of the governors
council yesterday bitter words passed
between Governor Russell and Lieu
tenant-Governor Halle. Goveror Rus
sell did not hesitate to say t. Mr.. Halle
that he thought it unfair to try to cast
n Suspicion on his election In order to
gloss over the defeat which Mr.. Halle
had suffered.
Mr.. Halle took exception to this and
said he was willing to pay the entire
expense of having recount in order
70 show that had it not been for the
votes mistakenly cast for Wolcott Ham,
lin he would nave been elected. He
said he entirely threw aside the ques-
ton of making q contest for the place,
IN which he admitted Mr.. Russell's
election, but he wanted to set himself
right before the people of the state.
