was appointed to dellmit the frontier of
British Guiana, and April, 1912, when
England removed the boundary posts set
up by Schomhurgk, are. genuine.
The Gazette presumes that Secretary
Olucy ana President Cleveland knew Of
these letters and asks why then Secretary
Olney did not use them to refute Lord
Salishury's second dispatch. Did he, -
the Gazette asks, deliberately prefer to
pick quarrel with Lord Salisbury"
The 1t. James Gazette says: THE
British people are not being properly
treated by the government when it is left
to the enterprise of a newspaper to dis

The Boston Journal, voicinR the

Thomas b Reed for the Presidency.
" If the New England's delegates to the

Mr. Reed is the biggest, busiest, best

with all and devoted to ALL but making a
particular hobby Of none
He is the ideal Republican.
He is strong, alert, wise, patriotic de
termined good tempered, thoroughly
trained, of great public experience, and yet
in the prime of life.
If he lived in Arizona or Oregon, New

pound.
A Blessing to Every Household in The
Land

If another huge petition, like the ia.
nous one now going round the world on
quite another mission, Were to be signed
by all the men, women and children who
have been cured of disease or saved from
a weak, nervous condition by Paine's
celery compound, it would take a stout
conveyance to carry the enormous docu-
ment from city to city.
Such a growing testimonial would re.
ceivc additions from every tiny village
and small town, not to mention the cities,
on its journey across the United States.
1t would be signed by thousands of
women no longer tortured by sleeplessness,
pains in the back and sides, continual
headaches, neuralgia, dyspepsia and
Bright's disease.
There would be fully as many men who
had been permanently cured OF kidney and
liver diseases and rescued from chronic
bad health by means of this great invig-
orator.
A vast number of children would be
represented to testify TO the ability of
Paine's celery compound to restore q
healthy appetite. to take away that con-
slant tired feeling and to purify the blood
of harmful humors.
The number of testimonials for Paine's
celery compound from men and women
Of high standing in every state in the
Union that have already been published,
would fill a large volume. These testi-
monials have been written without So
licitation. They have been published
verbatim as they were received.
Necessarily the testimonials that have
publicly appeared have been but one or
two, here and there, taken almost at ran
dom from an enormously large number
that every day and every week steadily
increases
Besides, it is to he remembered that not
one tithc of all the magnificent cures fairly
due to Paine's celery compound ever get
beyond the knowledge of the immediate
family; that, in fact, few people have any
appreciation of the number of families
throughout the United States where
Paine's celery compound is kept constant
ly on hand and Is being taken or has been
taken by some one of its members.
Paine's celery compound has already
done an enormous work. 1t has saved
lives. 1t has saved health. 1t has saved
homes
But its work as the greatest nerve and
brain streugthener and restorer the world
has known. Is only well started.
1t is not beyond the reach of the most
modest household, while much greater
expenditure will procure nothing else SO
effective.
Paine's celery compound, the remedy
that makes people well, is within reach
of all

Be Promptly Furnished.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Four of the mem
bers of the Venezuelan boundary commits
sion will assemble in the diplomatic room
Of the state department tomorrow for the
purpose of having an informal talk over
the work before them. Mr.. White will
be unable to be present, and it is likely
that in his absence an organization will
be postponed.
No quarters have yet been secured. and
until they are, the commission will prob
ably hold sessions at the residence of jus
tice Brewer.
Justice Brewer has notified President
Cleveland and Secretary Olney of his ac-
ceptance of the commssionership but
neither he nor his four colleagues have re-
ceived their commissions from the Presi.
dent, but Will get them, probably. tomor-
row.
As the commission is not an interpa
tional, but national body, subject to no
official supervision from any other nation
and created solely for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the facts desired by the United
states government, the President and
secretary of state could properly consult
with the members, but this will be
avoided, even if the occasion for it should
arise, in order that the commissioners con
clusious may BE- arrived at, free from out
side pressure.
The commission will be obliged to cali
on the secretary of state for information
on the subject of the various boundaries
claimed by Great Britain, but this will be
merely IA formal proceeding.
Any information the commission NAV
dies ire from the Oovarprnoptc nf cnoa.
