Worn out, nervous women, receive
criticism where they should have
sympathy. They cannot help being
nervous, if their blood is impure.
When the blood fails to feed the
nerves upon proper nouri-hment what
can you expect but nervous prostra-
lion, debility and nervous headaches?
If the cause is found i'll impure blood,
the cure must be in making the blood
pure. This is just what Hoods Sarsa-
parilla does, and it has proved the true
nerve tonic because it is the true blood
purifier. and the solace. comfort and

WHAT THE HERALD SAYS.
Claimed That Raines Bill Will Make New
York Drunkards Home.

New York. March 29-The Herald
says: The temperance advocates who
are hugginS themselves over the pas
sag of the Raines bill have no more
idea of what its result will be than has
the girl in the moon. They fondly
imagine that it will make people tenn
perate. From Investigations made by
police captains and others not con-
nected with the police. the contrary
will be the result
New York, says a police captain, will
be turned into one huge dram shop.
Every floor of very tenement house
will become a private drinking saloon.

When the laborer. the mechanic the

get the beverage he is accustomed to
have with his meals. he will provide it
himself. or have it provided for him at
home. whether it be in a tenement, a

These are the opinions of former AL
derman Peter Seery. Nay, more than
this. says Mr.. Seery the children will
constantly have before them drinking
scenes. perhaps orgies. induced by over
indulgence at home. They will become
corrupt. they will become bad citizens.
they will be the effective opponents of

This sort sof thing is already going
on. Ever since Commissioner Roose-
velt's vigorous enforcement of the
Sunday law. there has been more
drunkenness in the tenement houses
than there could have been in all the
saloons of the city. The respectable
saloon keeper wouldn't sell liquor to
man who was drunk or half drunk. He
would put him out of the place

Berlin. March 29-The changed sit

preparations the Beers are making to

MINISTER TAYLOR'S THEORY
OIney and Canovas VIII get Togather and
Fix Things.

Madrid, Spain, Dc. 19.-Ambassador
Hannis Taylor, during the course of an
interview with the correspondent of the
Associated Press, said he attached slight
Importance to the resolution offered By
Senator Cameron and ordered reported
favorably by the senate committee on
foreign affairs. He thought the probable
result would be friendly understanding
between the American and Spanish gov
ernments, and that this would ultimately
lead TO a guarantee by the government
OF the United States, for the Cubans, of
satisfactory system of self-administra-
ton, but not of absolute independence, a
condition of affairs for which the mixed
Cuban race are unfit.
Continuing, Ambassador Taylor made
significant statement to the effect that
should the Cuban insurgents refuse over
lures considered fair by both the govern
ments of Spain and the United States
the American government would so help
the Spanish nation that the insurgents
finding further desperate straits, would
be compelled 10 submit. The solution OF
the entire question, he thought depended
upon the finding Of mode of procedure
whereby the United States could help
Spain without offending the naughty
character of the Spaniards and the feel
ing of the Spanish military classes, whose
spirit and interests require concilatory
measures
In view Of the fact that American IN
terests must suffer enormously by rea-
son of the continuance of the Cuban war,
business men everywhere would prefer
peace to ''jingoism," said Ambassador
Taylor. In conclusion, Mr.. Taylor said
that Spain now had the opportunity of
pushing the Cuban war to a rapid ter
mination, and that this would prove
far better policy than that of bandying
words Of defiance with a powerful enc

Associated Press from Senior Canovas
Del Castillo, the president of the council
expressed himself as having confidence
that the friendship and the correct states
enanship of President Cleveland and Sec
rotary Olney and the good sense Of the
conservative section Of the American peo-
pie, would prevent international war.
Spain, the premier said, would do its ut
most to avoid friction with America, but
he was of the opinion that no Spanish
government could overlook the national
dignity or oppose the patriotism of a ma
ton whose history contains only deeds
of heroism and records of brave actions,
regardless of the consequences. Inc
warlike attitude of the American poll
ticians and certain classes of citiZen.. and
sections Of the press, was explanable
only in the light of their absolute lgnor-
snce of the true state of affairs in Cuba
According TO the prime minister the peo-
pie of Cuba have always received special
favors from the mother country, instead
of tyrannical acts, as imagined by the
Americans. If the former administra-
ton OF affairs in Cuba was immoral, con-

added, do not want reforms, but inde-
pendence. This fact, he thought, was
perfectly evident when Senator Gamer
on's resolution pronouncing for the indie
pendence of Cuba was understood. Senior
Castillo said that Spain would succumb
rather than give Cuba her independence
voluntarily. In conclusion he said thar
Spain was preparing against all eyentu,
