WeakNe Nerves

Indicate as surely rs any physical
symptom shows anything, that the or
gans and tissues of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from
the blood, and if the blood is thin, i'm
pure or insufficient, they are in a state
of revolt. Their complaints are made
to the brain, the king of the body,
through the nervous system, and the
result of the general dissatisfaction is
what we call Nervousness.
This is a concise, reasonable expla-
nation of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have
the healthful nouishment they crave.
Nervousness and Weakness will then
give way to strength and health.
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements Of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Read the next column.

If Waldorf. William Waldorf Astor
will spend much of his time there this
year. The millionaire has Just begun
to take the liveliest interest in the
little place that gave the first John
Jacob to the world, and the name of
which will be hereafter borne by the
heir of the greatest branch of the
house of Astor. A memorial fountain
ls to be placed there and various local
benefactio2s have already been made.
The name of Astor is even now a very
great one in Waldorf, and the small
diSnitaries Of the place were on the
point of organizing festival in honor
OF the patron, which was to have been
graced by the presence OF Mr.. Astor
this year. But Mrs Astor's death
interfered with the plan.
The eccentric little old man who
totes Mr.. Astor's personal belongings
about and does his best to be a body
servant, il Walldorfian specimen Of
humanity. Indeed, there is large
faction in Waldorf claiming to be re-
lated to the house of Astor through
common descent, and the funny old
Walldorfian seems to have some such
notion of himself There is even q
movement in Waldorf to have the
name of the place changed to Astor.-

SAN FRANCISCO, May 29.-The Pa
ci6c mail steamship Colima was
wrecked between Manzanilla and
Acapulco on May 81 and the
present indications are that over
one hundred and seventy persons
persisted. Only nineteen are known to
have been saved. The Colima, which
was an iron vessel of 2,906 tons bur-
then, sailed from this port on the 18th
instant in command of Capt. ]. F. Tay-
lor. There were on board forty.six
cabin passengers, thirty-six steerage
passengers, forty Chinese and seventy
officers and 'crew-a total of 1872 per.
sons. One of the steamers small boats,
containing fourteen passengers and five
of the crew, reached the Mexican
coast, and it was this party that tele.
graphed the news of the wreck. None
of the remaing l73 passengers and crew
has been heard of. The names of the
passengers rescued have not been
learned. The general agent of the
company says he is confident that
other boats will be heard from. The
