NONE BUT AYERS AT THE

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair. Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparilas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application Of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rllla is not patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums.

When a man offers s1,ooo, 900 for tn,

When a man offers $1,O00, 900 for the accomplishment of a certain end, no matter how almost impossible that end may seem, somebody will start in on an effort. Millionaire Rouss of New York when he offered that sum to any person who could save his sight to him scarcely dared to dream that benefit could come to him from it. The specialists of the world had told him that no power on earth could pre- vent his sight from going. A Chicago inventor has been experimenting, and is now confident that he will soon be the coupon clipper on that million.

PREDICTION.

There is considerable figuring go- ing on all over the country as to the outcome of the presidential election. Every day presents new forms of com binations of states to show an absolute majority of electoral votes for one or the other of the candidates. Most of these combinations are as kaleidos- eopic on one side as the other.
 Here in Phoenix it is no unusual thing to see dozen cards day and two dozen an evening put away in somebody's safe or in the cash regis Ger, each containing combination on Hie electoral votes, and each bearing with it the conviction of the maker ! backed by his money.
 This kind of speculation assumes at tfmes positiveness that is quite start ling, if not alarming Some of our card combination makers have a pc culiar expression of the eyes which gives to them sort of Tyndall ap- pearance of far-away- -atiYeness. It would seem as though all the states are passing in review before them, the ballots are counted and the result marked down in plain, black figures, the electoral college is in session, they are casting ballots, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Michigan, Connecticut, yes, Maine, and-for Nc KinIey. And New York, New Jersey, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Missouri, two Dakotas, Kansas and-and-and- for Bryan, and, whopee! out comes a card, down go the figures, up goes the money. "Keep that card safe until November" And the gent with the Inspiration of prophecy strong within him walks away satisfied with the w0'lE'untl the next day when a new combination forces itself upon his mind, and he again hypnotizes himself with similar contortiye result.
 The diversion is a harmless one during this warm weather, and per aons mathematically inclined find 8 pleasant fascination in it. But one thing should be borne in mind in pur- suing these calculations. It is the difference in the conditions this year with the conditions of four years ago They are such as to shake confidence m the truthfulness of figures.
 There never was a time when the alignment of parties has been so badly broken, and for this reason the specu Eator in election results must fall baci mostly on guesswork, or as we have suggested, project himself. Tyndall like, into the uncertainty of the flu lure.

GOOD ADVICE.

Dr. Thomas O'Reilly, a prominent St. Louis physician, writes to The Globe-Democrat that the preservation of health in hot weather is accomp- lished by the most rigid abstemious- ness and by total abstinence from all intoxicating liquors. Fresh meat should be sparingly used and only once a day, and the other two meals should be of a light farinaceous char acter, either tea and toast, mush and milk or corn starch.
 The gourmand will swear at this bill of fare, and say there is not enough in it to sustain the waste of animal life, but Dr. O'Reilly assures him that he is mistaken, as practically and physio- logically there are good reasons why in hot weather this moderate diet is most suitable
 In warm weather we lose our appe- tites, indicating that nature intended us to lessen the quantity of our food, and the billiary secretion, the most i'm portant in the process of digestion, is charged to such an extent as no longer to be able to prevent the development of ptomains-the poisonous products of digestion which excite fever, stupor

thirst, colios and diarrhoea.
 The most suitable drink in hot weather is warm water, which, though not the most palatable, is the most agreeable for the stomach, and never excites those painful gastralgias which ice water does. These simple rules of health, if strictly carried out, rob the hottest days of their terrors.

Sufferers from sick headache, indi- gestion, and biliousness may alwsys ind speedy relief in the use of Ayers Pills. There is no other medicine in pharmacy which goes so directly to the source of these maladies and brings about so thorough and radical a cure. They cleanse the stomach, liver and bowels, and, to certain extent. puri- fy the blood of waste products; at the same time they act as health-giving tonic to all the tissues involved in the complex process of digestion. In this way, they effectually relieve headache. nausea, indigestion, biliOusness and waterbrash. and prevent diarrhoea or summer sickness. They are, there fore, indispensable in seasons when bowel complaints or malaria prevail, and should go with the tourist to the mountains or the seaside, Ayers Pills are sugar coated and easy to take. They quickly dissolve on reaching the stomach, consequently their full me dicinal strength is soon realized. They were awarded the highest honors at the Chicago Worlds Fair.

A Promise Broken.

When the Armenians, who had held
Zeitoun for months against the assaults
of Turkish army, surrendered last
February, the Turkish government
promised that Christian governor
should be appointed over the place,
and gave assurances to six signatory
powers that it would keep its word.
Recently, in violation of this promise,
a Mohammedan was commissioned as
governor Of Zeitoun. This fragrant
breach of faith revived the concert of
action among the powers which had
been in abeyance for weeks, and the
representatives of Germany, France,
Great Britain, Italy, Russia and Aus
tria presented joint note of protest
to the Porte.

Undesirable Immigrants.


In the month of March nine thous-
and Italian immigrants landed at New
York In April the influx continued
at heavier rate. Three thousand
arrived in two days; four thousand
more we're known to be on the way,
and from eight to ten thousand were
awaiting shipment at Italian ports.
Financial conditions in Italy and
the dread Of being conscripted to
serve in the war with Abyssinia are
causes which in part explain this sud
den accession of Italian immigrants.
Another cause, in the opinion of the
Commissioner of immigration at New
York, is the fear that Congress will
enact the proposed law exacting an
educational test of immigrants. The
Italians hasten to get into the country
before any measure excluding them
can be passed.
About one-half OF the Italian immi-
grants arriving at New York this
spring are unable to read or write.
Fifty cents each was found to be the
average sum of money possessed by
party numbering about one thousand,
who were detained at one time for ex-
animation. One in ten only of the
immigrants had ticket to carry him
beyond New York.
Existing laws direct the enforced
return of immigrants who are likely to
become a public charge, and several
hundred Of the Italians were sent back
under that clause; but to many of the
most thoughtful students of American
social and industrial conditions it
seems clear that the present restric-
tions should be increased, and the ap-
plicatioh of reading and writing test,
for the purpose OF sitting out and
sending back the illiterate, seems the
form of restriction most consistent
with our institutions.

Cyclone Kills Many.

The city of Sherman was visited by one
OF the worst cyclones in the history of North
Texas about five o'clock last Friday evening.
The path of the wind was $50 yards wide.
1t struck the city at the west end of Post
Oak creek and swept in westerly direction
for several blocks and then spread and spent
its force. The track of the cyclone is a
gruesome sight, the devastation being COM
plete, houses, trees, fences, in fact every
thing in its path was destroyed. The loss of
life will probably reach 100, with as many
more bruised and wounded. The city hall
and the store room formerly occupied by S.
c. Holmes have been turned into temporary
hospitals, and eighteen bruised, mangled and
mutilated bodies are awaiting Identification
AT these two places at this writing nearly
every house in Fairview addition has been
turned into hospital.
1t is said the cyclone struck the ball park
while game was in progress and that part
OF the Sherman and San Antonio teams and
many spectators were killed. All telegraph
wires to Sherman have been down since q. 80.

They must be having lively times at
the Methodist General Conference at
Cleveland. Last Tuesday when it came
to elect publishing agents, for at least
ten minutes there was the greatest
scene of confusion that has yet been
witnessed on the floor of the confer
ence. Twenty or thirty delegates
were on their feet at one time each
shouting for recognition, or believing
the name of his favorite candidate.
Rev. DR.. Robert Forbes, of Duluth
said when speaking in regard to
licensing evangelists that:the people
were getting converted too fast.

is to hold up your hand and shout

graph and having it baptized. Saliva

The Do-Nothing Congress.

Probably since Congresses first as
sembled at Washington there never
was one which had greater opportu-
nifty than the Fifty-fourth Congress to
afford the country helpful legislation,
or which more utterly failed to grasp
its opportunity. 1t would have greatly
diminished the chances of electing a
Republican Congress and President
in November if this Congress had fol-
lowed the recommendations of the
President with regard to financial
legislation. 1t would have been almost
as hazardous to have adopted some
temporary measure, like beer tax, a
tax on coffee or tea, or slight tax on
sugar, to cover the lessening deficit
in the Federal revenue. But notwith-
standing the early admission that the
operations of the Treasury would
have been facilitated and large sums
of money saved by arming the Treas
ury with the power to issue low-inter-
est short-term bonds, and that more
revenue was an immediate necessity,
partisanship overbore every other
consideration. Speaker Reed an
nounced at the beginning of the ses-
sion that it would be do-nothing
Congress. He has made good his
prophecy. Nothing has been done
except to make heavy appropriations,
and by neglect and delay to prolong
a season of industrial distress and ap-
prehension in the hope therefrom to
reap political advantage.
These are hard words, but they are
true. If they need confirmation be-
yond that which the facts bear on
their face the confirmation is to be
found in the admissions of Republican
leaders that their inactivity has been
deliberate. They have only attempt
ed such general legislation as they
knew could not receive the sanction
of both houses of Congress, or if
passed by both houses, could not
receive the approval of the Executive.
This may be grand politics, but it is
death to trade and industry.-PAiAa.
