Final Payments for Armor Plates

drawn by the Secretary of the Navy
to-day in favor of the Carnegie Steel
Company and the Bethlehem Iron
and Steel Company. These amounts
are in final payment for armor fur
nished the Government under con-
tracts made in 1887 by the Bethlehem
Company and in 1890 by the Carnegie
Company. The contracts called for
armor for all ships authorized or
under construction at the times named,
and out of each, the sum of 100000
was reserved by the Navy Depart

nished had been in use six months.

and skin diseases are frequently not skin
diseases at oil. All the lotions and bleaches
and creams and powders in the world won't
make good complexion if the digestion is
wrong. If the stomach is sour, and the
liver torpid, and the bowels constipated,
the skin will show it. No use trying to
treat the skin for such condition. The
only way TO relieve 1t is to cleanse the sys-
tenn and purify the blood. AS long as the
heart is pumping impurities to every part
of the body, Just so long these impurities
will show through the skin.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
Is good for the complexion because. Il
makes the whole body healthy--because it
clears and purifes the blood, makes the
digestion strong and clears out impurities
of all kinds. By increasing the ability to
assimilate nutritious food, and by the IN
fusion of its own ingredients, it enriches
the blood and 50 makes solid, healNy flesh.
1t fills out the hollows, rubs out wrink-
les and substitutes for sallowness rosy
healthy glow. There is no mystery about
It It'isn,tia miracle. 1t is merely the re-
suit of combination of-rational, natural
common sense with expert medical knowl-
edge. II cures diseases of the lungs, liver,
stomach, bowels, skin and scalp, simply
because all these diseases spring from the
same cause - a disordered digestion and
consequent impure blood. Don't let preju-
dice and scepticism cheat you out Of your
health. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery will positively cure you, If suffering
from diseases named above.

flowers is so strong that 1T can be

PROFITABLE BUSINESS.
Sea lion catching must pay, for
Capt. Mullet owns nineteen houses and
two hotels in Pittsburg, property in
Lancaster, Pa, and in New York City,
where he lives. His wife travels
ahead of him on his voyages across
the continent, arranging for feed and
care for the sea lions.
During the conversation some one
mentioned Corbett and Sharkey, The
Captain pricked up his ears and said
that Sharkey used to be one of the
best men in his employ, and he was
only seventeen years old when he was
with the captain. "He is stronger
than an OK" said the old sea dog, "and
when we wanted some one to pull
hard or lift heavy weights we called
on SharlzeY. He is a good-natured
boy, and was always sparring with
every fellow who would put up his
fists :"
Capt. Mullet used to pride himself
on his voice, but it has lost its volume.
Coming across Kansas his throat got
dusty, and he could not get drop of
the only real good medicine for dusty
throats. His opinion of Kansas is
best left out.
The Captain and his car will leave
to-day for New York, which he ex-
poets to reach by Saturday. He has
only lost two animals on his trip, and
all of those now on the car appear to
be well, and never miss meal.
TRYING TO SAVE THE BABY.
An effort will be made at the Zoo
to preserve the life of the youngster,
as he has the distinction of being the
only baby sea lion in captivity. The
mother is healthy, but she does not
eat, Capt. MuIlet fears that the sup
ply of natural nourishment will soon
be exhausted and the calf starye to
death. The mother will be placed in
one of the tanks in the winter quar-
tiers, and the tank will be arranged so
that the little one can not fall into the
water. If he did he would drown, it
being curious fact that they have to
be patiently taught to swim by the
mother.
While at the Zoo the Captain re-
marked to Sol. Stephen that he sold
to the Zoo the first sea lions that ever
came to Cincinnati.
"Yes," said SOL, "you got a dollar
pound in gold for them, and they
were heavy weights at that"
That's So" replied the Captain,
sand we have some Of that gold yel."
