known Louie for three years, and had
never known him to work.

English, but was suddenly unable to un-

COAL FROM THE LUNGS.
Several Tons of 1t Breathed Out In
Lifetime.

Several Tons of 1t Breathed Out In q
Lifetime.
We breathe oxygen in, and coal out. Ex-
periments show that eight ounces Troy of
solid carbon are given of by pair of human
lungs every "a hours. That would be 61a
tons in a life of 70 years. What would that
amount of carbon be worth In the form of
diamond? A diamond is pure carbon.
The price of diamonds concerns very few
people, but the condition OF the lungs is a
matter of supreme importance in this season
OF changing weather. Unless the lungs be
strong they cannot expel the carbon. A cold
attacking them directly weakens them.
ANY depression, though it seems to affect
only one organ, must be overcome by bracing
the whole body. For this purpose the doctors
prescribe stimulants.
Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky is highly priced
by the medical profession, because it roIses
the latent energy of the body, creates keen
appetite and is invigorating and nerve-sooth-
ing Ii the use of it were followed by an in-
furious reaction, the doctors would not COM
mend 1t. The fact is, that Duffy's Pure Malt
whisky stimulates the organs to do their
work properly, so that ali ground gained is

Hence, it is a standard medicine; a house
hold remedy of proven value. 1t is especially
useful in the spring to fight those obstinate
colds that SO often develop into pneumonia

AT the meeting of the Sacramento dele

Grafton of matters to come before the
coming encampment, motion was made
to name candidate from Sacramento for
Department Commander. An amend
ment was offered that such candidate be
not named, and the amendments pre-
vailed.
1t was decided, however, to present a
candidate for the position at the next en-
campment, the gentleman selected being
Frank Miller.
A motion was made to name a candi-
date for Senior Vice Commander, and
that the delegation unite in favor of the
one securing the greatest number of
votes. Carried.
w. B. Maydwell, D. J. Simmons, John
Burke and G. e. Adams were nominated.
The vote resulted as follows: MaydwelI,

He Is Acting Like an East Side Shop

Especial Correspondence of RECoRD-UNIoN.1
NEW YORK, March 30.-Let me tell
you something about the reform admin
istrstion of this city now at the end of its
first quarter. 1t is not a success, as
Rhrewd students OF human nature might
infer, from the fuss it has made; neither
Is it complete failure as the politicians
hope. Least of all is it huge conspiracy
to determine the next Presidential nom
inee for the Republican party. 1t is sim
ply cranky, compromise government,
for the right understanding of which
some knowledge Of Mayor Strong's char
acter is necessary. And that is an inter-
esting subject to contemplate. No such
character ever got into fiction, probably
because it is so hard to grasp or to hold,
for it is shifty personality, this honest.
deceptive Mayor of ours-a very slippery,
rough and weakly-strong old gentleman.
But he is the key to his government, so
we will try TO vivisect him for fun and
science.
You know how he was elected on COM
bination of Republicans, auti-Tammant
Democrats, Mugwumps, German Reform
democrats and about six other organiza-
tlons OF which you would gladly remain
IN ignorance, even if you all came to
New York to live. His promise of q
non-partisan administration was the plat
form of the grandly successful campaign.
Tammany was oyerthrown, both in city
and State, and every body waited for the
rest with q miXtur of hope and fear that
made living here delight. Thomas G.
Platt, with the Legislature in his palm,
was terror to US; but he was quiet, re-
lying on the Mayors promise of certain
concessions to him, while the people
were confident in the Mayors assurance
to them that he would make none to
Platt. Every body seems now to have
had of the good Mayor pledge that his
particular man or hobby would be con-
sidered. So there was good deal of faith
and secret confidence all round and the
big, bad town was happy.
