AN ALDERMAN'S
 OPINION.

THIS is to certify that I have used SAW l YER'S DANDEDION COMPOUND as a blood purifier and appetizing tonic with the very best results. have never before given my testimonial for any patent medi- cine, from the fact that I had very little faith in them. For long time 1 have been troubled with chronic constipation result ing in loss of appetite and sick headache. and most of the time felt miserable After trying sarsaparilla pills and many other remedies with no good results, I was in duced by feiend to take SAWYER'S DANDELION COMPOUND. Before the first bottle was taken I felt like a new man, all trouble from constipation vanish ed, headache disappeared, and instead of having an appetite like an invalid, l ate like longshoreman. I take great pride in recommending this remedy to my friends and the public in general as splendid family medicine. I keep it on hand all the time, give it to my children with good results and find it a wonderful tonic. In times of peace prepare tor war, and the best ammunition you can have with which to battle az 4inst disease and keep the or gans in normal condition is SAWYER'S DANDELION COMPOUND

Washed Ont tba Ink.

The most precious document in thu possession of the nation-namely: the Declaration of Independence - has faded to such an extent as to be all most undecipherable, writes a Wash ington correspondent. This misfortune is not due to the age of the writing, but to process which it underwent in making of fac simile of it when John Adams was secretary of state. In order to Autograph it it was wetted, and the historic manuscript was near ly ruined in the performance. Nearly all of the signatures have wholly van ishcd, while the body of the text is in great part illegible. When Freling- huysen was secretary of state that de- partmcnt submitted the question of re- storing the Declaration to scholars and chemists. Many persons volunteered to do the work, but it was thought best not to attempt it. On the other hand, the rough draft of the same doe umcnt, made previously, is as good as new to-day, the ink in which it is writ ten being perfectly black

A HORSE iN 4 BALLOON.
Osman Pasha, an Equine Aeronaut, MaIk-
 ing Daily Ascensions in Berlin.

osman Pasha, an Equine Aeronaut, Mak-
 ing Daily Ascensions in Berlin.
 The latest novelty launched on the circus-going public of Berlin is desig mated on the programme of the famous Corty-Athol circus as "Osman Pasha, the great and only equine aeronaut of the nineteenth century," Osman Pasha is described by the New York Press as proud black stallion with fine head and symmetrical proportions.
 The trainers found little difficulty at first in inducing the stallion, who was very docile, to step in the car of the balloon, and in order to prevent acci- dents two stout straps connected his bit with heavy iron rings fastened to the sides of the car. After his first aerial trip, however, he strenuously objected to leave terra frma, and 1t required several months of patient and careful coaXing before Osman could perform his feat gracefully. And even now, after many trials, he exhibits a certain lack of confidence. When Os- man receives his command to step into the balloon conveyance he acts like a woman on the point of taking a cable car-he wants to be sure that the thing does not fly away before he is comfortably installed. During the as- tension he behaves phlegmatically and stands perfectly still, notwithstanding the manipulations of his keepers be- low, who are constantly pulling on the ropes attached to the car, swinging it violently back and forth so that screams of terror escape the ladies, who fear that the poor beast may tumble down at any moment. The only symptoms of fear the horse cvinces occur during the pyrotechnical finale, From the moment the attend | ant approaches with his flaming torch ! with which he kindles the fireworks the stallion begins to stamp and snort furiously. During this part of the per formance his fiery eyes and pricled ears denote his interest, and when he is finally released there is sudden
 lash for the stable, under the uproari- ous applause of the appreciative multi undo

NEWSPAPERS IN ODD CORNERS.
Among Them Is Unique Sheet Issued in

Among Them Is a Unique Sheet Issued in
 the Canadian Northwest.
 At Prince Albert, remote but busy village in the Canadian northwest, a weekly newspaper is, or recently was, regularly published in the handwriting of its proprietor, editor, reporter, ad- vertising agent and printer, the five being one man. He adorned his lively four-page sheet with caricatures rude ly copied from comic papers, and dec orated his horse and stock lads" with rough cuts. The paper appeared in purple ink from gelatine copying press. or hektograph, and its editorials and local news were usually so clearly presented that the little journal was influential in the territories, read with avidity in the newspaper offices of eastern Canada and constantly quoted as an authority. A newspaper by the same process is the Mashonaland Her add and Zambesi Times, conducted by an Englishman in the wilds of Africa, and supported by subscriptions and lads" from miners and traders. The most northerly of newspapers is said Nord Kap, published weekly in Ham uASALoSh1 1NOI"iy, Dy SIST OOuuuuSen, who lives and works in a little turf roofed house. The Nord Rap is, how ever. regularly printed from news re- ceived by a ship which touches at uammerfcst but once in eight days Sometimes the latest news arrives on the day of publication for the former batch, and then ''thc latest'' does not get into tho Nord Rap till it has been known fourteen days or moro to the great world to the southward. But the most curious paper of all is that de- scribed by G. A. Sala. as formerly pub liShed in the Deccan. This paper was Autographed every morning on a square of white cotton cloth. After having peruscd it the subscribers em- ployed it as pocket handkerchief ThOn they sent it to the local washer woman, who returned it, q clean square of white cotton, to tho publish CT, who Autographed and issued the SamO sheets again and again.

Says His Law Against Chinese Will Surely
 Be Enforced.
 SAN FRANCISCO, May 20. 0.-Congressman T. J. Geary, author of the Chinese Regis tration act, is in the city and has discussed the situation with United States District Attorney Carter, Judges Morrow and Nc Kenna and other Federal officials Mr. Geary is of the opinion that the admins tration will proceed to enforce his measure. He believes that all Chinese in San Fran cisco could be deported to China at Q sum not exceeding $15 per head. And have no doubt that arrangements could be made for their passage to China," he said, "without chartering many vessels or without the use of the naval force of the United States"
 On leaving the Federal officials Mir. Geary visited the office of Chief of Police Crowley, and the deportation of the Chin csc was again discussed. It is undoubt- cdly the intention to have the police act with he Federal officials in making arrests when word is received from Washington

THE official contract by which the Cherokee Indians surrender their inter- est in the "Cherokee strip" to the United States government was signed this week by Secretary Smith and the representatives of the Cherokee nation. The contract provides for the retention by the government of $1,660,000 to satisfy the claims of the Delawares, Shawnees and the Freedmen. There are yet to be received and approved the instructions for making the seventy allotments to Cherokees residing in the strip, which, under the recent opinion of the attorney general, will have to be made by the Cherokees from 40 appli- cants. The general land office will, as soon as these allotments arc made, pre- pare instructions to intending settlers, which are not expected to differ from those issued when Oklahoma was opened, and divide the strip into coun- ties, etc. Officials now fix July 15 as the date of the opening of the strip.

The name Easter is derived, as some suppose, from Eostre, the title of q Saxon deity whose feast was celebrat- cd every year in tho spring about the same time as the Christian festival, the nams being retained when the charac- ter of the feast was changed, or, as others suppose, from Oster, which sig nifies rising.

THERE was prize debate by the students of St Francis Xavier's college in New York the other night which was something unique in this line. It was conducted in the Latin tongue through out, and the young men who participa- ted In the contest betrayed no em- barrassment whatever in making their arguments in that language and in re- plying on the spot to those made by their opponents. There was freshness and 0xtsmporaneous vitality about the debate, though but few of the audience were able to follow the youthful phil osophers, but there twas something wholly distinct from the flavor of an ordinary school speech which has been carefully prepared and learned by rote for special occasion. It is doubtful if the same proficiency in the use of a dead language could be found in any of our leading universities.

CONNECTICUT must call halt on this absurd practice of unnecessarily in creasing the number of salaried officers in her government.
