to cure. Mr.. c. E. Keys, Station Agent
at the Maine Central Railroad at Rock

timony is valuable, was cured of his
Salt Rheum by Aliens Sarsaparilla.
RocKLAND, Me. Geaflcmen:- wish

parilla, as it has cured'mc of very dis
agreeable disease. l had Salt Rheum
all over my hands, and could get nothing
to help me, until began using Aliens
Sarsaparilla. had not taken it but
short time when the disease began to
disappear. BY the time ! had taken one
bottle was all we'll, and have seen no
signs of it since. Since taking your
valuable medicine have been in perfect
health in every way, but l believe l

The following letter has been received
from Rome by the Apostolic delegate
Monsignor Satolli. to be forwarded by
him to the archblshops, who are to dis
tribute 1t TO their suffragans. Heretofore,
the Peter pence collected each year In
every diocese was sent directly by the
bishops to Rome. Now these collections
must be transmitted to the Delegate.
Moreover, any individual who wishes TO
make In his own name a more liberal
contribution than he would ordinarily
put in the diocesan collection may do SO
by addressing 1t directly 10 the Pope
through the Delegate. Here Is the letter OF
the Holy Father to the bishops:
venerable Brother.-Among other EN-
cient means Of fostering and proving de-
votedness to the Roman Pontiff, one de-
serves notice: we mean the financial sup
port given him, that he may more readily
provide for the interests OF the Church.
Since the days Of the Apostles the faith
full have given In this matter. noble
example, which has continued through
all the vicisitudes Of time and events.
This support Is justly called Peter pence.

lowing comment on the Walton law:
Mr.. J. Taylor Eliyson. chairman or the
state Democratic Committee, is inclined
to believe that the Walton law Is good
thing. He Is confident that the election
in this State was everywhere fairly and
honestly conducted. and that no one mas

AM. a member OF Mahone's state commit

tion I'm this district, said he was agreeably
surprised at the operation OF the walton
law. There is no doubt in his mind That
this act has many commendable features.
This law. with q few amendments. the
Judge said. should satisfy all persons VINO

The commentator given TO 1t by men
