YOSEMITE NATIONAL FARK.
Report of Colonel Young, Acting Super
Observation-Disclosures and Fire

S. M. B. Young, lieutenant colonel of
the Fourth Cavalry and acting superin-
tendent of the Yosemite National Park,
has complied with instructions from
Washington and sent TO the Secretary of
the Interior report concerning the con-
diticn of affairs and the management of
the park. Colonel Young holds that the
park should be accurately surveyed and
the boundaries clearly defined. In order
to satisfy the rights OF bona-hde settlers
and preserve the purposes for which the
park was established the report suggests
an examination of the entire park and its
present boundary lines by a competent
and duly appointed commission. The ex-
animation should be made before the act
ual survey. The report says.
California, with her 100000 acres of
magnificent timber, owns but little, if
any, of the land upon which it stands.

NEW TO-DAY.

It's largely a matter of health. The
bloom and glow of health go far toward
bringing beauty. A clear skin, bright
eyes, red lips and the vivacity which
bodily good feeling brings, will make
even a homely woman handsome.
Half of the women one meets are semi
invalids Failure to heed the warnings
of outraged nature-failure to give the
help needed by the most delicate and
sensitive organs-little troubles ignored
until they have become dominant-dis-
ease allowed every chance to spread and
gain settled seat-these things bring
about the sunken, circ1ed eyes, the hol-
low cheeks, the pale and sallow skin,
the fabby, strengthless flesh, which
characterize the appearance of the wo-
man who suffers from female weak
ness"
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has
cured thousands of suffering women. 1t
IS a perfected specific for the troubles
peculiar to them. 1t eradicates the dis
ease, stops the dragging, 1ife-sapping
drain, and in perfectly rational, nat
ural way, builds up the wasted strength.
1t will bring buoyant health It will put
roses into pale faces s. solid flesh in
sunken places. 1t does away with the
huiniliating examinations and "1oca1
treatment SO much dreaded by mod
estly sensitive women. For thirty years,
it has been successfully prescribed by DIR.

1t was the occasion of the second annual
exhibit of the work done by the Dresden
Keramic Club, woman's art society of
this City. The mem bers of the club, some
TWENTY-FIVE in all, and their friends pre-
sided over the different tables and were
largely instrumental in making the e1hi-

tea and an evening reception.
1t would be difficult among so many
exhibits to particulariZe and be just TO all.
The most generally admired exhibit, per-
haps, was a beautiful chocolate set in gold
and soft rich brown, the handlwork of
Mrs. Walter Graves.
The whole comfortable was given over
to work by the president of the club, Mrs.
Chester S. Pollard. A large table at one
end of the room was covered with pretty
things done by Mrs. Freeze and by Mrs.
Walker Graves. At the opposite end of
the room was a similar table adorned with
all manner of dainty ware made beautiful
by the brushes and skill of Miss Emily
Herzer and Mrs. Joe Green. Another large
table bore a collection of exquisite piece
made so by Mrs. n. V. Scott Miss Emma
Staples and Mrs. Frank Kelly.
Then there were two smaller tables side
by side with the exhibits of Miss Murphy,
Mrs. Sanborn and Mrs. Switzer: pretty
array on a single little table in far cor
ner presided over by Miss Frcke as her
individual contribution; another table
near the entrance laden with frail she'll
like bits of decorative work done by Miss
Hoesch; AMI still another corner table
with the combined exhibits of Mrs. Ora
ham and Miss Schwerin; and finally
numerous display on one small table,
showing the ability of the two little Graves
brothers, Walker and Jeffs-boys several
years yet from their teens.
At the conclusion of the exhibition the
club mem bers enjoyed supper served in

Here Is a Pretty Romance.


GREENUP, KY. June 20.--In the Big
White Oak neighborhood in Green
up county lives John Wallingford,
a prominent farmer and stockman.
He is the father of a young lady OF
twenty years. Miss Rose Walling-
ford, who 10 the winter, gotinto CORE.
spondence with Walter Harmon who
lived in Vermont, and the two be-
came engaged to be married. Upon
informing her father of her intention,
be became angry and ordered her
to write to the man again at her
peril, as he would not have her about
his premises If she persisted in her
intention Of marrying man whom
she had never met. The girl begged
her father at least to allow her to
write and inform him Of her fathers
objections. He consented, and as
be saw no more letters, he concluded
that the affair was at an end.
In March a young man came to the
Wallingford house to hire as a la
borer. He appeared to be an expert
enced hand aud WallingHord formed
good opinion Of him. Things went
on smoothly until a few days ago.
Wallingford became sick, and one
day when his daughter and the hired
man were seated 10 his room he sug.
gested that, as he did not expect 10
recover, he wished to see bis daugh-
ter situated so as to be able to live
comfortably after he was gone. At
this the young lady confessed that
she was already SO situated, and that
the hired man was none other than
her husband, and he Walter Harmon,
her unknown correspondent Of the
winter. The father was greatly sur
prised, but no less pleased at the
announcement, IS he had no other in
his mind than the hired man for his
daughters husband. Harmon and the
girl had been driven to Grayson one
evening and been married, and no
one was the wiser. The young
folks are comfortably situated, as
Harmon had an amount of money
laid by himself.

catarrh by the use of so-called blood
remedies means the expenditure of
many dollars and arrangement of
the stomach. That catarrh is not
caused by blood troubles is self evl-
dent when you reflect that attacks
are always due to sudden climatic
changes or exposure to cold, and oc-
cur most frequently during the win
ter and spring, though the blood is
as pure then as in summer or fall. A
remedy which quickly relieves and
by thorough treatment cures the ca
