forward three campaigns for the

a public library and is about to present
to the city the first 1000 volumes.
"The year books for 1896 indicate
carefully selected study in the different
departments. The quality of the
work done is reported better than in
former years.
"Clubs are giving more time to the
questions of the day. making study
of parliamentary law and acquiring
ability in extemporaneous speaking.

the term now closing has led to &C

any Of these It is the commonest trouble
that human beings suffer from 1t is so
common that nine-tenths of all the sickness
in the world is traceable TO it. 1t is merely
that simple, common thing-constipation
There is no telling what it may lead to- but
it is sure to lead to something bad. Its i'm
mediate effects are unpleasant in the ex-
IRENE. 1t makes people listless, gives
them headaches. makes the digestion poor,
causes dizziness, loss of appetite, loss of
sleep, foul breath and distress after eating.
All this merely because Nature has been
imposed upon, and has been refused the
little help she needed.
This little help is furnished by Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets One pill is a
gentle laxative and two mild cathartic.
There are two remarkable things about the
Pellets" One is that they never grippe;
the other that they cure permanently.
There is no other medicine that does cure
permanently. You can take any other
medicine you like, as long as you like, and
If you stop. your trouble will come back
quickly, and the chances are the trouble
will be worse than it was before This
isn't true of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
You take them until you get yourself into
perfect working order, and then you stop.
You don't have to take any more Pellets 1"
unless after a while you do something that
deranges your digestive system again. We
are not guessing about these facts, and we
don't ask you to take our unsupported word
for it. Thousands of people have found
that they are true, and have testified to
them. Let the druggist who says that some
thing else is Just as good selAthat some
thing else to somebody else. Don't let him
triae with your health for the sake of q
little more profit to himself.

sons and fathers might live with
us, and our beautiful island be safe
to travel in, instead of being given
up to be the spoil of foreign ban
ditti."
This was before the recent out
break in Cuba, but the same scnti-
ments pervaded the Cuban masses
then as now. 1t may have been
from fear that the appearance of
the flag of the free flying from a
prominent point in the city held
by Cuba'S enemies would excite
such adverse sentiment that the
Captain General took hand in
the proceedings. At all events,
there came to me an orderly from
that dignitary, with a request,
couched in most courteous Spanish
phrases, that the distinguished
American visitor" would kindly re-
frain from attracting a crowd by
continuing the flag of his country
in such conspicuous position, etc.
1t was a gentle hint that by per-
sisting in this course l might be-
come possibly persona non grato

portant services yet to perform for
my own government, | took coun'
sci with prudence and hauled the
flag down at sunset. But at the
American dinner that night it was
voted that whether or not the act
was one of discretion, at least the
sight of Old Glory has done our
hearts good, and if ever occasion
presented we would again fling the
flag OF freedom to the breeze.

A RAILWAY UNDER WATER.

Its Cars and Passengers, However,
Move Along Above the Surface.
A writer in the London Queen
describes Brighton, which at the close
of the last century was of very minor
importance among the English coast
towns, as now, thanks to its splendid
parades and the endless variety of its
amusements. the most charming, as
we'll as the most fashionable, of sum-
mer resorts" Among the latest at
fractions of the place is curious rail-
way, along which cars, supported on
tail iron posts, are moved by electricity
over track which at high tide is
deeply covered by the sea.
For some time there has been an
ordinary electric railway skirting a
portion of the coast at the Kemp Town
end of Brighton. The success of this
line suggested to its owner the idea OF
a car running upon rails submerged in
the sea, which should in sense give
the advantage of q sea voyage without
its attendent discomforts. This design
has, at large cost, now been carried
out. The line commences at the east
end Of the present electric railway,
and extends for q distance OF three
miles, to the pretty village OF Rotting-
dean, where an iron pier has been
erected for the cars to run to.
The rails are laid at a considerable
distance from the shore, fact that
will be appreciated by those cognizant
with the picturesque beauty of the
rocky coast at Kemp Town, and the
depth of water above the imbedded
rails will be Is feet at high tide. The
passengers in the car will he at a
height OF "a feet above the rails, or
with q space OF nine feet between
themselves and the sea at high tide.
The car itself is sttractive-looking
and pretty. 1t is so feet long by %
feet wide, the main deck and APP
purtenances being carried out much
on the principle of a steam yacht. On
the center deck is a saloon, with plate
glass windows and large ottoman,
and there is accommodation on board
for from 100 to $50 passengers. Every
care has been taken to provide for the
comfort of those on board this singular
vehicle and the technical details in
volving the safety and successful work.
ing of the undertaking have been
matter for careful study.
Brighton owes the beginning of its
popularity to royalty, for George w,
like his uncle, the Duke of Cumber-
land, made it his favorite residence,
and had finished, in 1917, the
sumptuous Moorish pavilion, which 80
years afterwards became the property
of the town. The advent of the Prince
of Wales was shortly followed by the
building of the not inelegant Chain
pier in 1923, which has since, from the
progress of the times, been superseded
by more imposing structure of like
order.
At the early period referred to there
was no railway to Brighton, the
journey to and from the metropolis
being performed by stage coaches
With the aid of locomotion by steam
the town has rapidly increased in
prosperity and popular favor. Under
an active and intelligent local govern.
ment, Improvements were made in
every direction. The Steyne has long
ceased to be used as waste ground
where the fishermen made and mended
their nets, and has reappeared as an

WOMEN'S CLUBS.
A State Federation Will Probably
Soon be Organized at Tacoma.

State Federation Will Probably
Soon be Organized at Tacoma.
Mrs. Esther Allen Jobes, Washing
ton State chairman of correspondence
of the general federation of women's
clubs, has submitted her report to the
meeting OF the federation at Louisville,
KY, and through her courtesy and
that of Mrs. c. P. Barnes, General
Recording Secretary, it is herewith
published. Mrs. Jobes has been State
Chairman for two terms, 1924 and
1916.
"The general federation claims
seven loyal daughters in the State o:
Washington. The Woman's club oi
Olympia, now Ii years old, WAS tie
pioneer club of the Pacific northwest.
The others, named in the order OF age,
Spokane Sorosis, the Woman's Century
club, OF Seattle; the Aloha club, OF
Tacoma; the Cultus club, OF Spokane
the Nesika club, OF Tacoma, and the
Womsn's Book club, OF Everett. These
clubs embrace membership OF about
200, including women who rank high
in the professions, in business, science,
art and the letters.
Though SO far removed from any
possible meeting place of the general
federation, the Washington clubs hold
relationship in that great body as q
vital force OF their existence, and are
in close contact with the refreshing
spring OF inspiration which are making
channels into the most remote and
desert places. Each club seeks &c
further personal culture and public
welfare through cooperation based or

open discussion.

"E piuribus Uuu,a- ON Our Coins.

According to the United States mint
officials, the words, L Pluribus Unum,
as they appear on our coins, are there
without the sanction Of law. The legend
first appeared upon a copper coin
"struck" at the Newburg IN. Y. } mint
In tho year 1855. The United States
was very young Mt that time and could
not afford the luxury of mint, so a
private individual of the name Of
Brasher opened the Newburg coming es-
tablishment with the intention Of turn
ing out money of the realm for all
corners. Exactly how the words "E
Pluribus Unum" came to be used as
motto is not known, but one thing is
certain, the Brasher copper coin bear
ing that legend and the date Of 1886 is
the most valuable metal disk ever mint
ed on this continent. being worth about
$4,000. or twice as much as the famous
rare dollar of 1904.
Some time after coming his famous
copper with tho odd Latin motto as
above described Brasher tried his hand
on a large sized goldpiece, producing
the coin known to the numismatists as
"Brasher's twenty" The Brasher
"twenty" was not $50 goldpiece,
however, for it lacked "a Of weighing
enough, but Of late years it has become
very scarce and valuable because Of the
fact that the legend inscribed upon it
reads "Unum Il Pluribus" instead Of
"E Pluribus Unum." This coin is now
