To combat this growing evil, Prof.
Edward e. Phelps, M. D., LID, OF
Dartmouth college, made nervous dis
eases his special study. The fruitful
outcome of his long years of profess
sional investigation was Paine's celery
compound Difficult nervous disorders
that had persisted despite long treat
rnent, at once yielded to it. Men and
women who had suffered for years
from broken and unrefreshing sleep,
from headaches, rheumatism and neu-
ralgia, found that Paines celery com
pound not only speedily cured thesie
troubles, but that they worked batter
and felt more encouraged than had
been possible to them for years
AS a practical instance of what this
remarkable remedy is doing all over
the country, the following from Rev.
DR.. VIM A. Smith, one of the best
known divines in southern New Eng-
land, deserves careful reading DR..
Smith is to-day 86 years of age, yet en-
joys better health than ever in his life,
and never loses a single good nights
sleep. He writes.
'sGroton, Conn
Dear Sire--In my early days, by
great and prolonged mental suffering,
broke down. In HEARTH and became a
dyspeptie, being obliged at one time to
give up my work in the ministry on
account of i'll health. l am now Sc years
of age, and during my long life have
suffered greatly from dyspepsia, torpid
liver, constipation and insomnia, at
times thinking that l should die for
want of balny sleep, and it is a wonder
to me that am alive to-day with all
that have been through. ann a won
der ito myself and to those who wit
ness my habits and know my age I
tell them that / try to obey the laws of
nature and that take Paines celery
compound whenever need it.
"By the use of several BOTTLES of
Paine's celery compound, have so far
recovered my health as to consider my
self a wellman for my age. 1t regulates
the liver, stomach and bowels, without
any question. My appetite is now
good, my sleep is refreshing, my liver
active, and bowels regular and my
clutches NOT needed, as 1 can walk with

improved appearance and activity
Gratefully yours, VIM. A. Smith.
Paine's' celery compound does not stop
it's restoring work until new, healthy
tissues have taken the place of the old,
shattered portions. There is mot the
deepest, most minute portion of the
body, whether it be nerve or brain, or
some vital organ, that escapes the reju-
venating. strengthening power of
Paine's celery compound. Tn cases of
severe neuralgia, rheumatism, heart
paipitations, dyspepsia and nervous
feebleness, Paine's celery compound is
the only remedy that goes to the root
of the trouble, fortifies the weakened
system against these disorders and
builds UP a strong, healthy body.

Higher Prices the Rule During the Early
Trading.
New York, Jan. 14,-Higher prices
during the early trading. The improve
ment was due to the better political
outlook abroad, and the advance in
American railway securities in London
which followed the intimation that
the Venezuelan dispute is likely to be
settled by arbitration after all. London
houses were the principal buyers at the
opening, and it was stated that the
fortnightly settlement there had de-
veloped the existence of heavy short
interest in Americans.
The early advance was equal to A@1B
per cent. in the general run of stocks,
while Metropolitan Traction jumped
from 1924 to 1916. An unexpected en-
gagement of $1,100,000 gold for export

ANBAWIIAN PROTECTORATE.

Hawaii will do well not to base any
hopes of annexation upon Mr. Cleve-
lands policy. The president is not an
annexatiOni-t, and his consistent sup
port of Minister Willis in the latter's
disregard of the national holiday of
the Hawaiian republic shows that his
temper toward the island regime has
not been Modified. If anything he is
more decided in his opposition to the
old Stevens programme than he WIS
three years ago, and in this attitude
we are bound to say, he was great
deal of public support which was then
denied him. 1t has not escaped ap-
prehensive notice at Honolulu that the
repu biican national platform did not
mention the word annexation" What
it called for was CONTROL" which
means q protectorate if it means any
thing.
And a protectorate it is likely to be.
BY that recourse the United States
could get all that it wants in the way
of a coaling station and naval rendez-
vous without having to settle perplex-
ing questions of race, labor and suf-
frage. 1t could also protect the grow
ing sugar interests of California and
other states against the competition
which the admission OF Hawaii to the
union would make perpetual. The
demand for high tariff upon Hawaiian
and all other foreign grown sugar Is
now so strong that it will have to be
granted eventually. and it would not
do to defeat the purposes of this move
mert by anneXing foreign sugar
estates. If we should do that, those
estates would go so far toward meetin q
the local demand for sugar that the
growth OF beet sugar interest would be
abridged and retarded. 1t is not
unnatural that America should care
more for that interest than for Hawaii.
especially when all the strategic bene-
| fits promised through the annexation
| of the is and can be had in another and
much less costly way.-San Francisco
! Chronicle.

but Spain has made no definite re-
Spouse to the suggestion, nor is she
likely to. Moreover, home rule on any
such guarantee as Spain would be con-
strained to give would hardly be &C
ceptably to the Cubaus now. They
have already had so many illustrations
Of SPANS pertidy that they could not
be deluded into trusting to any of her
promises again. This is, as Secretary
Olney remarks, the most fOrmi dable
revolt hich has ever taken place on
the island. Therefore, as the iusurrec-
ton appears relatively much stronger
now than it was twelve months ago,
the Cubans are justified in standing
ont for absolute separation frOm'Spain-

The engineer stopped the train and no

and presenting revOlvers, told him to

they failed to get anything. The
robbers then left and Engineer Green
started on: The passengers were In no
way disturbed.
Scarcely night has passed in three
weeks but half a dozen citizens have
been sand dragged and robbed and
numerous houses burglarized. a reign
of terror really exists and the police
seem powerless to stop it.
A half hour after the robbery had
occurred all the mounted police from
the various parks and bOulevards were
called upon to assist in running the

After More Copper Mines.

Not content with absorbing the
great Boleo copper mines in Lower
California, besides number of valu-
able copper properties in the United
States, the Rothschi ds are reaching
out for the promising copper fields IN
the state of Chihuahua, notably the
La Paz, Encarnacion and Espiritu
Santo mines, which have produced
copper for ages.
A representative OF the ROthschllds,
John II. Turmann, is now the city of
chihuahua, investigating the mines
and looking into titles, preparatory to
sending out financial agent to nego-
tiate for their purchase. From this, as
well as from reports from Santa Rosa
liza. Lower California, where the BOleo
copper mines are situated, it is APP
parent that the Rothschilds are still
al work upon their attempt to control
the copper product of the world Al
ready they have secured, either direct
~ or indirectly, the product OF the
United States and Mexico, with the ex-
ception of the Chihuahua fields, and
the great Calumet and Hec@a mines in
Michigan. The BOleo mines in Lower
California ship great quantities OF
copper to France, and transact must OF
their business with the old country.

THE UNITED STATES AND CUBA.

It ia d ain from the presidents mes
sage and the secretary of states report
that while the administration does not
favor the immediate recognition OF the
insurgents as belligerents, 1t would not
be averse to a policy of active intefer-
ence in the conflict by the United States
in the interest of civilization and in
defense of the rights Of our own citizens.
Secretary Olney truly says that the
present deplorable condition in Cuba
"can not indefinitely continue without
growing still worse" and adds that
1.-THE time may not be far distant when
the United States must seriously con-
slider whether its rights and interests,
as we'll as its international duties, in
view of it's peculiar relations to the
island, do not call for some decided
change in the policy hitherto pursued
This is substantially the presidents
position also. 1t is evident that the
warning which is thus given to Spain
finds prompt and hearty favor in con-
gress. The Joint resolution for the
recognition of Cuba which was intro
duced by Senator Call Immediately
after the reading of the message will
probably pass both branches. OF course
the president is committed against
this policy, but his opposition may give
way if the majority for recognition is
pronounced. Recognition, unless
supplemented by active interference on
the part of the United States, would
not do the insurgents much good. 1t
would, in a certain sense, give them a
prestige and a standing, but it would
add to their difficulties in getting sup
plies from this country. The supplies
are of more immediate Importance
than the prestige, for with these it
would be able to gain the victories
which would command the
prestige even in the absence of recogni-
ton.
In any event it is clear that crisis
in the relations of the United States TO
the insurgents is close at hand. Our
government. as the president says. has
iptimsted to Spain that home rule
might be satisfactory to the Cubans,
