Soap

The skin ought to be
clear; there is nothing
strange in a beautiful face.
If we wash with proper
soap, the skin will be open
and clear, unless the
health is bad. A good
skin is better than a
doctor.
The soap to use is
Pears; no alkali in it. 1t
is perhaps the only soap
in the world with no al
kali in it.
All sorts of stores sell
it, especially druggists;
all sorts of people use it.

The Federal Government Takes Acti on
in the Panama Affair.
New YORK, Dec. 22.-"The federal
government has at last taken steps in
the Panama affair."" says the Herald's
Washington correspondent. 81 have it
from source very near the head of the
administration that as the result of the
last cabinet meeting, when the unpre-
cedented action refusing through bills
of lading to American ships across the
istnmus was considered, cable was
sent to the government of Colombia. 1t
requested that no steps be taken looking
to TIE extension of the time within
which the Panama canal must be COM
pleted until our government has an op-
portunity to be heard upon the subject.
My informant states that the cable had
something to say as to the evident an
tagonism OF the present management of
the Panama railroad to American inter
ests. am told the president
and cabinet are unit as to the proper
line Of action to be pursued in this mat
ter. The state department will imme
diately take active steps for the preser-
walton of American interests in Panama,
and within few days, I am told, q
vigorous protest will be sent to Colom-
bia against any intercession on the part
of that republic in favor of the Panama

We know that in ShaEespeare's day,
say A. D. 1900, sixpence a day was u
fortune for any workingman, SAY the
equivalent Of ten pounds per annum. A
century earlier, before the access to
America was open to English explorers,
one of the Ardens of Warwickshire left
IN annuity of forty shillings per annum
to younger son, probably the poets

THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG,
[contInued from First psge ]


throne. This manifesto has not ye
been issued. but awaits the approval o
Prince Victor, the present recognized
head OF the imperial family, now il
Brussels, and the Bonapartist leaders o
Paris have sent agents to tina
city to induce him to sign tht
manifesto and authorize it's publ
cation. Victor has been living In
comparative retirement recently, but
has kept careful watch upon the course
OF events, and his friends In Paris claim
that he will be found fully equal to any
crisis that may arise, and while prudent
as to taking decisive step, will be pos
tive and courageous in his action when
the step is taken. The imperialists have
been canvassing earnestly for supporters
among the deputies, but not with much
success.
As the chances of a revolution against
the republican government seem to in
crease, the division between the Mon
archists and Bonapartists widen. The
members of the two parties. heretofore
on common ground as opponents of the
republic. are now showing considerable
jealousy as to which party will profit by
this jealousy is showing itself in strained
relations between prominent members
of the right.
The Imperialists will attempt to strike
a blow in Paris rather than in the prov
inces. They, like the Monarchists, are
being carefully watched and every
movement is reported to President Car
not. The proceedings OF the secret. con-
clave at which the manifesto was de-
termined upon were known to the gov
eminent almost as soon as the conclave
adjourned, and the government is
already in possession OF the terms OF the
manifesto.
Not so much Importance is attached
by the authorities 10 the Bonapartist as
to the Monarchist agitation. The an
cient royal house has still large fol.
lowing in the provinces, as was shown
during the recent visit of the countess
OF Paris to France, when hum
dreds thronged to kiss her hand,
and she was received at various
places with all the loyalty and honor
that could be ehown a queen. This fol-
lowing could easily be aroused into a
formidable demonstration that would
cost much effort to suppress, and the
Royallst cause would receive the SYM
pathy of hundreds OF thousands of the
swindled Panama stockholders, who de-
spise what they regard as the bastard
that trades on the fame of
the great Napoleon, and have learned to
hate the republic whose representatives
are exposed as parties to the Panama
fraud.
De la Foaso writes Figaro that the
republic is ruined and
ought to be replaced by consular re.
public, with Prince Victor Bonaparte as
first consul. The suggestion is looked
upon as an attempt to revive the en-
pire through the came process by which
the first Napoleon arrived at the throne.
1t attracts attention only as indicating
The strained situation which makes
such suggestion possible.

Chicago Police Think They Have Man
Who Stole S35, 1000.
CINCINNATI, Dec. 22.-The police are
looking for Charles A. Harden, a mes.
senger of the Adams Express company
running between Cincinnati and Nash
vile. They charge that he is the man
who substituted brown paper for $35. 900
in greenbacks recently shipped from
New York to Galveston banks. 1t is
charged that he got wind OF the fact that
he was being shadowed, and fed the city
last night.
Much to the surprise OF the authori-
ties, Harden reported for duty tonight to
60 on his regular run from here to Nash
vile. This complicates the case end
renders it uncertain about Harden beng
the guilty man. However, he is under
detention at present.

A Fight Between Two Hung arians Fol-

Fight Between Two Hung arians Fol-
lowed by Riot.
MOUNT CARMEL, Pa, Dec. ga des.
perate battle took place here last night
which may result in the death Of sew
eral of the participants. The combat
was caused by Tilted lover, who fol-
lowed woman from the old country
met bic rival and they fought. Until
six months ago John Rotoski, Michael
Lincevitch and Mary Donsky lived in q
small town in Hungary. Both men
were desperately in love with Mary,
who finally agreed to fly to America
with John. Upon arriving in New York
they we're married, and have lived in
peace until week ago, when Lincevitch
appeared, having followed them to this
country to obtain revenge. A pugilistic
encounter was finally agreed on as
the means of deciding the JUS
tice of their respective claims.
1t came of last night, about
80 workmen> for witnesses. Mary, it is
said, agreed to take the victor for her
husband. The fight lasted 40 minutes,
and was a most desperate encounter,
both men being terribly punished. At
the end OF that time Lincevitch was
unable to stand-up any longer. A foul
was claimed for him, on account OF
Rotoski having chewed his ear at one
stage of the fight. Mary, who acted as
referee, decided in favor of her bus
band. and riot ensued. She was
knocked senseless and 10 or IL others
were badly injured with knives and
bullets. Nearly every one in the au-
dience was more or less battered, and it
is feared that six of the injured will
die. Mary and John left for Shenan-
doah today.

and Chicago.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12.-Dr. Cornelius
Herr, who has attained prominence in
connection with the Panama canal
scandal in France. was formerly resi-
dent Of this city, where he engaged in
the empirical treatment of all diseases.
He is also charged with having defrauded
q number of people of this city out of
various sums, ranging from $500, to
100000. Herr came to San Francisco
in 1874 from Chicago, where he had
married the daughter of respectable
family. He gained the confidence of a
number of prominent people and notes
signed by a merchant named Lyon
to the amount of 100000 was paid by
the latter in favor of Herr. Thirty
thousand dollars was also secured by
fraud from Milton s. Latham and
Stephen Field, nephew of Cyrus Field,
was induced to participate in an elec-
trjcal scheme of Herz's, with the re-
sulting loss of $500. Paul Seller, an
electrician, lost $4,000. Herr was also
known in Chicago uniavorsbly.
