Hat Raising by Machinery.

The commissioner of patents has
granted patent to James c. Boyle, an
eccentric citizen of Spokane, Wash, for
what he calls "a saluting device" When
attached to the ordinary head it re-
lieves the wearer of the manual labor OF
lifting his hat when he meets an ac'
uuaintance and his hands are other

Complish this is to nod slightly. The
motion starts the machinery, which is

THE Armenian Christians are mostly
members of the Greek church, and are
therefore now practically under the in
fluence of Russian ecclesiastics. Most
of the outrages have been committed
against followers of that faith. If tho
sultan has agreed to give the Russians
a monopoly of missionary work with
out molestation he has agreed to call
off the Mohammedan prosecutors and
practically turn Armenia over to Rus
STA. The story is lacking in the ele-
ment Of consistency.

land.

Mr.. Bryan's editorial opinion OF
President Cleveland appeared on Nov.
10, 1895, under the headline "The
Cuckoo's Song" After quoting Mr..
Cleveland's comment in his first letter
OF acceptance on the temptation to
retain office by an improper use of
patronage, Mr.. Bryan wrote:
Then he regarded the interested
zeal of admiring office-holders as a
menace; now he lives and grows fat
upon the adulation of the sycophants
who feed out of his hand. Instead of
informing the President that he is the
most unpopular executive who ever
occupied the White House; instead of
reporting to him that his name is
execrated by those who once loved
him and who still love the Democracy
OF the Fathers, the office-holders con-
ceal public opinion from him and con-
vert each blast OF censure into breath
of praise.
II the administration Democrats by
any sort of manipulation, succeed in
controlling the next National Conven-
tion, it is to be hoped that they will
make Mr.. Cleveland the nominee.
The momentum which he will acquire
in descent and the force with which
he will strike the ground, in case he
runs again, may reveal to him how far
he has fallen in public estimation.
That Mr.. Cleveland can enjoy the
fulsome flattery of those dependent
upon him indicates the unparalleled
change which he has undergone since
he assumed the duties of the Presi.
dental office.

freedom than encomium for Watson
The latter, to use q cant phrase
called" the big Georgian with such
verve and hearty abandon that Liv.
ingston never tied to him again.
Prompt as hornet to resent affront
Watson is on his part a man OF singu-
lar gentleness and care for what 9TH
ers feel. He will never insult others
any more than he'll brook outrage
from them.
Even when Watson stirred up Cobb
OF Alabama, in his book, and made
that slow statesman famous for his
unsteady inquiry offered on the floor
OF the House, Mr.. Speaker, where
am I st?" Cobb and Wheeler and
others of Alabama had cast the first
| stone. Cobb was not at all graceful
on the occasion adverted to. 1t was
during the debate on the report to
unsest Rockwell OF Elmira-Hill's
man-and put Republican, Noyes
in his plsce. This last, by tho way,
was q secret demand of Cleveland, as
a move against Hill at q time when
both were candidates for the Presi-
dency. Cobb was on the Hill side of
the case, and becoming bit vague,
not to say vacuous, in debate, he sud-
denly rolled his eyes on the Speaker,
and after deep pause put the plain
tive question quoted. "Mr. Speaker,
where am at?"
Watson had it in his book two
weeks later, and it created good
deal OF heat in a House strongly
Democratic. The Democrats at.
tempted censure or some other form
OF House torture, and in the debate
which ensued Watson left his claw
marks all over them. He fought the
majority to a standstill and evinced
such thirsty ferocity for it all that
his assailants were only too happy to
quit as becomes men of sense, who
inadvertently have caught Tartar.
Watson is not poor man; for his
region he is rich. He has farms
which pay, law practice which pays
and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES does
not lose much. He held seat only
in the Fitty.second Congress. He
has been candidate who failed twice
since then.
Watson is self-made-every splinter
OF him. Born and reared in Georgia,
child as he was at the time, tho war
wrecked Watson's early prospects,
and all there is to him to-day he built
himself. Altogether he is a better
American and a better man than
either Hobart or Mckinley, thinks
less of himself and more of the people,
and syndicate could no more buy
watson or own Watson than it could
buy or own star. No Hannas 90
with the horoscope OF such as Wat
son. Between us, the Populist nomi-
nee for Vice President is the sort of
person one would not hesitate to name
as executor of his estate. One would
feel reasonably sure as one dreamed
IN his grave that his widow and or.
phans wers getting their dues. One
might go a long summers day and
meet no better man. Yet one must
say of Watson, as Emerson did of
Thoreau-it exactly states a case-in
response to an inquiry: While we
love Thoreau, We don't like him."

For your Protection. Catarrh "Cures" or
TOnics for atarrh in linlid form to be taken

For your Protection Catarrh "Cures" or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
q blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, so cents.

GILLIAN MOB.
An Italian Prince and Party
Attacked in Valparaiso.

San Francisco, Cal, August
I7.-The Panama steamer
City OF Para brings the story
that Prince Louis of Savoy
and some of the crew of the
Italian ship Cristobal Colombo
were attacked on the streets
Of Valparaiso on the 10th of
last month by a Chilian mob.
The Italians would have met
with the same violence as did
some of the crew of the Unit
ed States cruiser Baltimore
had not the Italian party been
armed. The prince and his
friends stood off the mob until
rescued by HE police.
although the mob used
sticks and stones, none of the
royal party was seriously in
jured. The mob vented its
rage on the prince because OF
the Italian unpopularity since
Italy sold the two secondhand
ed cruisers to the Argentine
Republic during the difficulty
between the latter country an
Chill. The Gillian govern.
ment profusely apologized for
the occurrence and all refer
ence to it in the newspapers
was suppressed.

When the girl comes to be woman
look out. If she starts out in vigorous,
wo1nanly health then it is pretty safe to
say she will be a healthy, attractive,
beautiful woman.
The beginning of womanhood is the
real crisis in woman's life. Nearly
always something is wrong then in the
distinctly feminine organs. Maybe 1t
isn't very serious-no nlatter-the time
to stop disease is when it starts. +,
