Taken in Time

Hood S Sarsapariila has achieved great
success in warding off sickness which if
allowed to progress, would have under
mined the whole system and given disease
strong foot hold to cause much suffering
and even threaten death Hoods Sarsa-
parlIla has done all this and even more.
1t has been taken IN thousands of cases
which We're thought to he incurabie. and
after fair trial has effected wonderful
cures, bringing health, strength and JOY to
the afflicted Another important point
about Hoods Sarsaparilla is that its cures
are permanent. because they start from the
solid foundation Of purified, vitalized and
enriched blood But it is not what we say
ont what Hoods Sarsaparilla does that
tells the story.

The Grant Claim.


:. Mr.. Milliken and Mr.. Manley, yester-
day, telegraphed H. NJ. Heath that the
House committee on war claims had
just voted unanimously in favor of the
claim of William S. Grant. On Tuesday,
the Senate committee on claims voted
unanimously. and on the same day the
bill was favorably reported to the Senate
by Senator Bacon of Georgia. The report
by Senator Bacon is an exhaustive and
judicial presentation of the case. Under
the rules of the Senate such bills are
easily reached by the Senate, but the
pressure of public bills in the House
makes the reaching Of private bills an
exceedingly slow process. This claim was
orally argued by Mr.. Heath before both
Committees and he was, yesterday, over

Unforeseen circumstances prevents him
from doing so. Mr.. Croker was in EXCELLENT
spirits yesterday afternoon. and chatteL
pleasantly about the prospects of his horses.
In regard to his political intentions. Mr..
Croker preserves glum silence. ana he Is
perfectly willing that The political wise
acres OF the press shoald continue guessing
about his position in TammIny Hall.
In talking about his horses. Mr.. Croker
said: Il have received a list of the weights
assigned for the early spring handCd pS.
and am well pleased with the allotments Of
the weights. To he sure, the scale OF
weights in England is higher than in this
country Ny horses have been treated with
the utmost fairness: consequently. shall
have no excuse if the American horses in
my stable do not win a race. 1t is pleas
ure to own a sta bic OF horses when they are
in charge OF 4 competent trainer. Mr. Nor
ton whohas charge ofmy horses at Vantage,
has full control and is considered thor
oughly competent trainer by the leading
horsemen in England
In The acccptances for the English spring
handicaps Mr., Croker's entries figure PROM
inently. Santa Anita, Sir Excess and Mon
taul have been scratched in the Lincoln
shire, leaving Americus the only repre-
sentative. Santa Anita is also out OF the
City and Suburban, with Sir Excess but
hontauk is left in. That the English han
dicappers have now a healthy respect for
American form was demonstrated when
the weights were first announced. The fact
is again made prominent by the acceptances,
for i'll the North Hamptonshire, Great Sus-
rey and Chester cup lists the Americans
have the top weights, which in each cas-.
VII! be l2S pounds. the highest accepting
weight being raised To that figure. and the
others in proportion, under the English
rules.

that Mr.. Croker reiics upon Americas and

Santa Anita will be the msinstay OF the
stable in races OF one mile and a quarter
and at cup distances. Mr.. Croker placing
or the horses agrees with the American es-
innate Of their capabilities in the case
of Sir EXCESS. Americas and Santa Anita.
Should Santa Anita start In the Ascot
gold cup The impnst will be- 130 pounds.
Should the trio be- ruiiy acciinated by the
dates OF the spring handicaps they should
have at least an outside chance, despite
The steadying weights. santa Anitn is no
