There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurabe. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, aud by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional disease,
and, therefore requires constitutional treat.
ment Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market. 1t
is taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the

early the coming year.
The announcement Of the engagement Of

Miss Whiting was a visitor TO intimate
friends Of her family in Alexandris. She
has never visited in Washington, except to
remain over for a few hours in passing
through the city.
The prominence and wealth of her fami-
ly have brought Miss Whiting into notice
in her native State, and her beauty, amia-
bility and accomplishments have been COM
mented on, not only in the Southern but in
the Northern States. She has been frequent
visitor to the home of Senator Faulkner's
brother in Martinsburg, and it is there be
first met her.
The precise date of the wedding has not
yet been determined, but it has been deci-
ded that the event will take place during
the last week in January at the home of the
brides father, II. Clay Whiting, at Hamp-
ton. After brief tour of the leading cities
Senator Faulkner and wife will move into
house in the neighborhood oil his present

The most interesting of all moons are the
two that attend Mars, each about sixty miles
in diameter. That planet is just one-half
the size of the earth, it has an atmosphere,
clouds frequently conceal its face and its
seasons are about the same as here, though
the winters are colder. Because one of the
moons travels around it about three times as
fast as Mars itself turns, it appears to rise
in the west and set in the east, while the
other, really circliug in the same direction
at speed comparatively slow, rises in the
east and sets in the west Thus both moons
are seen in the heavens at the same time,

may deem proper. Occasionally the receipts
are two or three a week, and, as a rule, the
