Backed Up by . cash offer--the statements
that are made BY the proprietors OF Doctor
medicine will cure, perfectly and perman-
emily, the worst case of Chronic Catarrh In
the Head-that not only Catarrh itself, but
all the troubles that come from it, and every
thing catarrhal in its nature, are cured By
the mild, soothing, cleansing and healing
properties of their remedy.
They can't say any more. Probably every
medicine for Catarrh claims as much. Bat
it's one thing to promise a cure-it's very
different thing to perform it. The proprie-
tors Of DR.. Sage's Remedy want TO prove
that they mean what they say. So they
make this offer: If they can't cure your
Catarrh, no matter bow bad your case or Of
how long standing, they'll pay you $500 in
cash. You're sure Of the money or q cure
Isn't such a medicine worth tryingl

In reference to the cable dispatch from Tan
ger that Mr.. Rizzo the new Portuguese con-
sui at Fee. who also claims to represent the
United States, has been refused a right of res
idence by the Moorish government. it ia stated
at the State Department that the records do
not bear Rizzo's name. There has always been
more or less friction between the United States
consulate at Tangier and the Moorish authori-
ties, largely on the question Of granting Anert-
can protection papers to protect foreignerS
from Moorish law. Mr.. Rizzo may possibly
have been commissioned as a subordinate con-
sular agent by Consul General Matthews, tho
representative of the United States at Tangier.
but even this 10 doubted. Even II It were true
such a commission would give him no consular
rights Of residence such as are claimed in the
