ART WITH YOUR COCKTAIL.
The Craze for Pictures and Curios In

The Craze for Pictures and CurioS In
the Decoration of Modern Saloons.
Pictorial and other "art' attractions of
the modern saloon have evidently been found
to pay their way as drawing cards, says the
New York World. Some OF them are really
extra ordinary.
In pictures the subjects range all the way
from those highly wrought specimens in
which the "preponderance of the nude" is
the main feature to the highly improper
specimens from French publications. The
intermediate ground knows all shade and
colorS. One saloon keeper has had living
pictu res as a back-room attraction. An
other man makes speciality OF old theater
programmes. Still another, in whom the
soul of Aubrey Beardsley must echo, has
taken to displaying posters whose decadent
tendency would make Max Noudau weep.
The chop houses, whose proprietors seek
to persuade the swell young man that they
are the Savaring of Bohemia and their re-
sorts it's middle distance, have long been
noted for collections of old paintings,
programmes and paraphrased notices of
good cheer.

MISSES BRIcE'S OUTING
They and Party Of Friends Will
Tour France on Cycles.
Announcem ent That Mrs. Stanley
Mrs. Dahlgren Going Away.

The Misses Brice, daughters of Senator
Brice, have mapped out most delightful
programme for the summer that is more
than likely to be followed by numbers of
} their friends in Washington society. This
programme is one that has been made pos
sible only by reason of their untiring ef-
forts during the past few weeks. 1t is
none other than a bicycle tour of the rural
districts of France This Will be made
in company with quite a large party of
friends, whom they will join Immediately
upon their arrival n Paris, for which city
they will sail July 3.
The party will be well supplied with
kodaks, and expect to bring back to this
country with them such a collection of
pictures as would not be possible to
obtain in any other manner, and which on
that account will be of unusual value.
The most picturesque highways and byways
of France will be visited by the bicycling
party, especially those remote sections
of the country TO which The modern rail-
ways have not yet penetrated. As all of
the party speak French fIuently there will
be comparatively little difficulty in un-
derstanding the patois of the various dis
tricts through which they will pass.
For the past TWO SUMMERS the Misses
Brice have travelled abroad in the manner
that wealthy Americans usually see the
Continent, so that the present departure
from the conventional viii be all the more
enjoyable. The trip Will occupy the entire
summer. In anticipation of it the young
lao-es who Will take part III it are now
having some veSy pretty bicycling cos
tunes fashioned Wherewith to dazzle the
eyes of the peasantry of France.

SAY TAKE HER.
Chiefs Of Construction Recommend
Acceptance Of katahdin.
EVEN THOUGH SHE DINDN'T MAKE
REQUIRED SPEED.

They are Said to Agree that the Secretary
Has the Right to Do 1t without Con
gress-They Have Probably Made Final
Recommendation to that End.
Washington, November 1.-THE reports
of the chiefs of the Naval Bureaus Of
Construction and Steam Engineering,
concerning the failure of the ram Katah-
din to make the speed required by the
contract with the Navy Department., has
been made to the Secretary of the Navy.
1t is understood that they recommend
the vessel be accepted by the government
despite the contract requirement that if
the vessel failed to develop an average
speed of seventeen knots an hour during
the trial run, she should stand rejected.
The ground for this recommendation is
that the contract requirement is not
made under a provision of law, but a
violation of the Secretary of the Navy
and that therefore, the Secretary is not
bound to compel adherence to the letter
of the contract, but may modify it as he
pleases. 1t is urged that the provisions
for rejecting the Ka Katahdin, if she failed
to develop certain speed, is not incorpo-
rated in the contract for other vessels.
1t is said the chiefs of construction and
steam engineering of the bureau, think
the Katardin could be excepted without
injury to the government at a reduction
from tine agreed price proportionate to the
falling off in the requirements for speed.

He did not calculate the rate of speed

not know his ground. He struck his chest
against the semaphore wire, "'knocking

men said, and then rolled or pitched
down high bank, and lay senseless at

who, when he recovered his senses, found
himself wet and badly bruised. He COM

crudely drawn, and both its witnesses
were dead. The deed was refused and q

IMPURE BLOOD.
The Ills That Accompany it are Legion.
The Sufferer Eventually Becomes a
Loathsome Sight, with Death the Only
Escape From Pain.

Let diseased condition Of the blood once
exist, and unless it is stopped it will from day
to day grow and spread. The disease germs
in the blood multiply rapidly and impregnate
the tissues throughout the entire body, creating
ulcers and other horrible sores. The patient
grows weaker and weaker. Every one of the
great vital organs of the body become affected.
and death is looked upon as a blessing. Do
not let such troubles go too far; before it is
too late take that most famous Of blood puri-
fiers, kickapoo Indian Sagwa. 1t quickly
enriches and purifies this great vital principle
of the body, and at the same time acting directly
on the stomach, liver and kidneys, dispelling all
lurking poisons. Thousands have been cured,
and to-day sing its praise.
One of the many who have experienced relief
is Amos Lord, of Conway, Iowa. He says,
81 suffered from chronic blood affection for
20 years. In September, go, had an operation
performed on my foot, but the poison still
remained and went through my entire system,
and placed me in such condition | could not
sleep nights on account of the hot, burning
fiushes all over me. l lost the use of my limb.
My liver and kidneys became badly affected,
and my general health SO reduced that | gave
up trying to live. Took over twenty bottles of
certain SarsaparillaS with no relief. At last l
concluded to give Kickapoo Indian Sagwa a
trial, and am happy to state that after using
it | experienced great improvement. My
liver and kidneys became normal, my limbs
began to gain strength, SO that now l can walk
without crutches, and my health is good for a
man of my age, being over 20 years old. I
cheerfully recommend Sagwa to anyone afflicted
with kidney and liver troubles. 1 think it is
the greatest blood purifier I ever used.'
Remember it is purely vegetable, and con-
tains no poisonous ingredients whatever, being
made entirely of roots, barks, herbs and gums.
All druggists sell it. $1.00 bottle; bottles
for $500.
