The Pittsburg Foot Ball Club last
night resolved to offer the Chicago team
a guarantee Of 5000 for game in Pitts
burg on Washington'S birthday. The
game is likely To be arranged for Expo
sition Park. As TO the Ihistles the
Pittsburg men say they cannot under
stand their attitude.
The regulations governing the bench
show of dogs at the Worlds Fair In
Chicago next year provide that dogs en-
tered from Canada or the United States
must be registered in the the American
Kennel Club stud book. 1t was pro6a-
Div in ignorance Of the fact that the
Canadian Kennel Club and its stud book
registrations are not recognized by the
AK. c. that such rule was tormu-
lated.
Rosenfeld, the Chicago sport who has
been playing at Monte Carlo, sailed
for home yesterday with $4,000, all
velvet. He gave an elaborate dinner 10
a number of friends. The health OF the
chief owner Of the famous Casino at
Monte Carlo was drunk, and the Chlca-
goan stated in a clever speech that he
would never risk another dollar on the
green cloth.

The new Florida League would look

Paul Radford has joined Washington.
Good habits have kept this man in the

John Ward is up to some kind Of game
by remaining In the South and neglect
ing his business.
, Duke is a right-handed pitcher, not
left, as has been stated. Like Bryan,
can pitch with either hand.
It's singular that the National Lea

son and Pfeffer. Let these men alone
and they will be dead TO the world in
three weeks.
Somebody has given Calliope Miller a

A Baltimore Inventor Proposes to Save tn,
Coney Island Beach

A Baltimore Inventor Proposes to Save the
Coney Island Beach.
New York Herald.l
To save the beaches at Coney Island and
Long Branch from devastation by the sea by
spreading oil upon the surf as it rushes
upon the sand, thereby preventing the
waves from breaking against the shore, is
the ambitious project of Everett D. Moore,
Baltimore inventor, who is now stopping
at the Morton House, having come to this
city to interest owners of ocean front
property in his scheme.
His plan is to station cannon along the
beaches as soon as the stormy weather sets
in and whenever the waves become danger
ously high, to fire seaward from these guns
cannisters filed with oil, which are so con-
structed that they will begin to leak as soon
as they strike the water. By this means
the sea will be covered for long distance
off shore with film of oil that may prevent
the waves from breaking on the sand.
Each of the projectiles will be attached
to line by which it can be drawn ashore
to be reloaded and retired. Its return
course will thus be marked by an oleaginous
waste which, the inventor says, will greatly
add to the value Of the operation.
Another use to which the apparatus can
be put will be to smooth way through the
angry surf when a lifeboat is about to be
sent off to shipwrecked vessel

Leadvi1le alone. 1t is q most valuable mon-
ograph. Every surveyor that comes out
there fresh from college writes me to get q
copy of the most magnificent publication
that is given away by the Government The

Not Thing of Value Turned Out.
Everyone of these valuable monographs,
everyone of these valuable reports comes

You have discovered your ore and taken it
out, these very intelligent and cultivated
men come along and say, that is beautiful

tions, showing just what happened-it is
always Just after the fact. 1t is beautiful
knowledge, but it is not the knowledge that
this Government shonld be called upon to
paw every year from $500, ,060 to 81 900, 900.
The Colorado Senator's vigorous charge
stirred up a lively debate. but his motion
was lost by a vote of "a to 2S That was
remarkable opposition TO be drummed up
against such powerful combination as the
friends of the Geological Survey, and it en-
couraged its authors to persevere. Later
in the day, therefore, Senator Carey moved
TO cut down the appropriations TO Maj
Powell's bureau to the extent of S240, 600,
and by vote of 26 to % he succeeded.
1t was a great victory and one the like of
which has not been seen in the Senate for
many years. The men who brought it about
now mean to follow it up by complete ex-
posure of the extravagant bureau that is
maintained, they say, by the aid of lobby
lists and the effective distribution of patron
age, and their starting point is the resolu-
tion of Senator Carey calling for the names
of the employees of the bureau.

The course of catarrhal trouble, extend.
ing throughout the system, involving the
head, throat, chest and lungs, the stomach
and the kidneys has been commented upon
in the articles printed from time to time In
these columns by Drs. Copeland, Hall and
Byers, but nothing emphasizes the truth OF
these articles so practically and so strongly
as cases of individual experience, showing
just how catarrh does extend even to tho
ears, causing the most intense, agonizing
earache and headache; to the stomach, caus-
ing dyspepsia, indigestion, chronic and
acute diarrhea, dysentery, ETC.; to the
bronchial tubes and lungs, causing chronic
cough, bronchitis, asthma, consumption,
ETC., and finally weakening the general sys-
tenn so by depleted blood and iDanttion, due
to lack of the stomach and bowels to per-
and assimilation, that utter nervous pros
tration and general debility ensue.
Every spring and summer we hear people
saying: 81 must take something to purify
my blood" cor tone up my system" eto.,
etc., and they are encouraged in this line OF
reasoning by factors and yenders of patent
medicine compounds.
Why should the blood be any more impure
in the spring and summer than during the
winter except that the system Is depleted
by the result of neglected colds contracted
during the cold season?
These "colds." as we illustrate by to-day's
statement are capable OF affect
of the body, and there is only one
way to get rid of this "enemy of mankind"
and that is by availing yourself of the
prompt, efficient and sure method OF treat
ment as practiced by Drs. Copeland, Hall,
and Byers.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-07-16
Please Remember.

That this is the most favorable season of
the year for treating catarrh and its kindred
ailments. as the climatic conditions are per-
feet and nature aids the treatment instead
ter.
That more can be accomplished in one
months treatment now than in three
months while the unfavorable influences
are present
That as the wise man "mends his roof'
while the sun shines, so should the sufferer
from catarrh seek treatment during this
most favorable season.
That catarrh, especially when complt-
Gated by ear trouble, asthma, chronic cough,
bronchitis, etc., etc, cannot be cured in q
few weeks, but requires thorough course
of systematic and persistent treatment to
permanently eradicate.
That if chronic catarrh could be cured
in a month, Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers
would charge many times moro than IS q
month for such q thorough system OF treat
ment as they employ. The S5 rate was In.
augurated to apply to those long standing
aggravated cases which require time, pa
thence and persistent treatment to eradi-
cate, so that patients of moderate means
could afford to continue treatment until
permanently cured.

THE BUMP0LOGY OF HORSES.
The Faces of the Equines All Tell Many
Different Stories,

The Faces of the Equines All Tell Many
Different Stories.
''There is a horse with benevolent coun-
tenance," said a gray whiskered Individual
to Chicago Daily Globe reporter, at the cor
ner of Clark and Washington streets, as he
patted the nose of a cab horse. ''Now," he
continued, "you, in all probability, see no
difference between this horse and others, ex-
cept in its color and SPAWN or so. There
is as much dissimllarity in the facial express
sion of horses as of human beings Horses
cannot talk and must give vent to their
feelings in action and expression. Take,
for example, the dray horses of Chicago
As rule their faces say, almost as plainly
as a man could express it in speech, we
are doomed to a lifetime of toll. It is not
our idea of life, but we cannot help our
selves and are resigned to our fate.
"The cab horses stand at their posts rest
lessly with dropping heads but watchful
eyes, and their expression is one Of relief
and eagerness to move when the reins are
drawn tight and the order comes to get up. >
The street car horse has the vacant express
sion of one who does his work by routine,
and whose thoughts are anywhere but in
the present.
"Notice that carriage team. The horses
are members of the equine 400 and they
know it. They are as conscious of their sleek
coats and shining harness as dude is of his
London made clothes See the way they
arch their necks. You charge it to the check
reins but you are wrong; it is their consci-
BUSINESS of superiority which causes them to
hold up their heads"
Il spend every moment that am on the
street watching the countenarces of the
horses. 1 began studying them years ago
and it will repay any one to do SO. Study
them, young man, and promise you'll find
as many interesting countenances along the
curbstones as on the sidewalks
The student of equine physiognomy
walked away and the cab horse smiled.
