Pure Blood

~ wish to say that 8 years ago we had .
beautiful boy born to US. At the age Of II
months he brcathed his last, a victim to

months became afflicted with the same
disease. We believed the trouble was con.
stitutional, and not common sore mouth.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 21.-New Orleans
has had q magnificent crowd ard q mag
nificent carnival. The Rex parade took
place during the day, and devoted tw enty
gorgeous floats to the illustration Of fam
tastic fairy tales. Outside of the regular
procession the number of private floats
and miscellaneous Innskcrs was much
larger than usual Some of the unat-
tached paraders made an elaborate dis.
playa burlesque on the old volunteer fire
department being especially noteworthy.
At night the Mystic krewc OF Comus
gave one Of their gorgeous paradea The
night before Proteus illustrated Scandi-
navian mythology, and by way Of contrast
Comus took up the Songs of the Olden
Time and worked the themes to tablcaux
OF rare beauty, the subject giving the
widest scope to the designers and origin
ators. The balls at night were especially
brilliant. The royal reception was at the
Washington Artillery Hall, and the throne
room carried out the idea of entrance to
Olympus, a cloud forest leading to the
DEVILS domain, which in turn opened
upon Paradise, where the gods held guard
about the throne. Frank L. Howard was
the king and Miss Fairchiid the queen.
Comus held court at the French Opera
House, where Miss Emily Poitevent WAS
made queen. The illuminating of the
clubs on Canal street and of the news
papers on Camp street was u marvellous
sight in themselves. The attendance was
the largest and the most distinguished i'll
years, including Governor Jackson, of
iowa; Ex-Governor Hoard, of Wisconsin;
Governor Davis, of Rhode Island; ex-Gov-
ernor Hubbard of Texas; senator Stcph-
en- b. Elkins; Henry b. Plant, and the
heads OF n dozen railroads, besides a num-

NEW YORK, Feb 27-Niss Anna Gould
gave an explicit denial to the sensational
statement published in n morning paper
that she is to become q Catholic. Miss
Gould was seen at the PlaZ hotel. where
she is stopping with her sister. Miss
Helen Gould, and Frank Gould, her
youngest brother, till the time of the
marriage, next Monday. Miss Gould's
cousin, Miss Northrup. n very beautiful
blonde. was also OF the party. They were
just going into dinner. Miss Helen
Could, who is Away very reticcnt, de-
ciined to say anything regarding her sis
tcr's religious views, and referred the re-
porter to Miss Anna herself, who was in
her boudoir. Miss Gould had heard of
the statement which presumed on her
change of religion Immediately upon
her arrival in Paris and denied il in toto.
She said that she had mer.'iy complied
with the customs of the CathSic church,
sd far as was necessary for any person
who married a Catholic. As she and her
family were Protestants, the church we'd
ding had been omitted, and this was graf
flying to all parties. 1t was not true,
Miss Gould said. that the Marquise de
Castellane. the mother of the count, had
sent a message to Rome asking for spc-
cial dispcnsation for a marriage in the
cathedral Miss Gould was positive in
her assertion that she Ind TO intention Of
leaving the Episcopal church, to which
she now belongs. for any other, and stated
more than once that no such change of
creed had ever been asked or even limited
at by the count, or his family, or contem-
plated by herself

Is absolutely necessary in order to have
good health. The greatest affection Of
the human race is impure blood.
There are about 2i00 disorders incl
dent to the human frame, the large
majority arising from the impure or
poisonous condition OF the blood.
The best remedy for all blood dis
eases is found in Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Its remarkable cures are its lOudest
praise. 1t is not what we say but
what Hoods Sarsaparilla does that
tells the story.
No remedy has ever had so marked
success, or won such enormous sales.
Scrofula in its severest forms yields
to its potent powers, blood poisoning
and salt rheum and many other diseases
are permanently cured by it. For a

lated during the winter. or to overcome

spectacle. At $50 the tower fell to the
roof with a crash. The largo bell, former
ly used as a fl-e alarm, was melted by the
intense heat. st $50 the fire was under
control and confined to the upper floors.
