There is more CataTrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together
and until the last few years was supposed to be
inCurable. For 8 great many years doctors pro-
nOunced it q local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly faiIingt to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven CGtaTIh to be a constitutional
disease, and, therefore, requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. J. Cheney Il Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. It is 4 taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon
full. 1t acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials. Address,

Precaution Against Lyuch!ng.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb 27.-This morn- ing ex-Legislator James Graft of Harri- son, Ohio, and David Davis, one of the att torneys for Will Wood one of the men concerned in the Pearl Bryan murder, qualified in the police court on the bond of Wood, in the sum of $3,000. Wood was released. It has been decided to take no steps today in the extradition proceed ings for Jackson and Walling.
 This determination grows out of an abundance of caution. The matter will be heard at a time of which the public will not be advised in advance and an eff fort will be made to exclude all people except newspaper men. from the hearing. There is no fear of violence on the part of the spectators but the court officers de- sire to avoid the disagreeable rush and jam which would attend the presence in open court The arrangement is to take Jackson and Walling through the tunnel from the jail to the court room which will be locked and guarded by watchmen The prisoners will then be disposed of secret ly. In the police court this morning the preliminary hearing in the cases of Jackson and Walling was continued to February 29

A Good Filibuster Landing Placs.

Baltimore, Feb 27.-The Monumental Fruit company's steamer Brixhall, Cap- tain Durie, arrived today from Gibara Cuba. She left the Cuban port last Fri day. Gibara is at the northeast end of the island and Captain Durie says that from outward appearances there no one would have known there was war go- ing on in the island. The people were pursuing peaceful vacations and did not seem to manifest much interest in the revolution. He saw no Spanish gunboat anywhere and said filibustering expe- dition could land at Gibara without the least trouble or interference.

nunication from Lord Drnraven.

munication from Lord DCnraven. As the committee at its request was d,s- charged at the last meeting of the yacht club from further considera ton of this matter, this communication is transmit ted to the club for such action as 1t thinks proper. The committee has ac- knowledged receipt of the letter and has notified Lord Dunrayen of it's transmits sion to the yacht club. They cannot sub init this letter without observing that Lord Dunraven misstates their report in an important particular. He says that diagram was "accepted' by the commit tee as mathematically proving that we did not see the actual objects which we did see. Nothing in the report justifies this statement.
 It was not denied nor doubted that we saw the discharge hole of the bilge pump above the surface of the water on the day before the race, and that 1t was below the surface of the water on the following day. The fact demonstrated by the eV idence and found in the report is that the hole could not be visible above the wa ter when the vessel was on an even keel and consequently that it was made visi' ble on the first day by the vessel havin a slight list to starboard, the probab . cause of which the evidence pointed out. The apparent change in the relative po- sition therefore afforded no evidence whatever that the immersion of the yes sel had been increased in the meantime. Very respectfully yours,
 EDWARD T. PHELPS,
 J. PIERPONT MORGAN,
 WILLIAM c. WHITNEY,
 A. T. MARIAN,
 G. l.. RIVES.
 After the reading of these communica- tions Captain Ledyard jumped to his feet and asked the unanimous consent of the meeting to withdraw his resolution of February 13 demanding Lord Dunraven's resignation. This was willingly granted. Then Captain Ledyard proceeded to read another resolution. preceding 1t with ringing speech denouncing Dunraven's actions and a preamble declaring that Lord Dunraven by his course had forfeit ed the high esteem which led to his elec- ton as an honorary member of this club. The resolution is as follows:
 Resolved, That the privileges of hon. orary membership heretofore extended to the Earl of Dunraven are hereby with drawn and that his name be removed from the list of honorary members of the club.
 When Captain Ledyard concluded there was a great outburst of applause. Some one called for the yeas and nays and they were ordered. As each name of the members was called the response came in clear tones, aye" When the name of the sturdy old ex-commo- dore, James D. Smith, was called he bounded to his feet and, shaking his fist defiantly, responded Aye, and thous- and of them if I could"
 This evoked thunderous applause from the assemblage. Great surprise was ex- pressed when the name of Chester M. Monroe owner of the Oriva, was called and he said mo" Forty men had voted thirty-nine in favor of expulsion and one in disapproval. The action of MT. Monroe was a matter of much regret to the yachtsmen, as they had hoped to stigma tize Dunraven by unanimously throwing him out of the club. Mr. Monroe's course was heartily condemned by the mem- bers.

where you cannot get q good, full
swing with the driver.
The Cleek is an iron club-that IL,
the lower part is all irop-and Is used
for still shorter strokes than brassy,
and where the ''lie" or position OF the
ball is still worse, when stiff, quick
stroke is required, with more precision
and less distance to il.
The Mashie has a shorter handle,
which il sitter than the foregoing,
and at the same time the face OF the
shoe is turned backwards, so that a.
you hit the ball it lifts ii quickly, diff
fering from the driver stroke just as
fly" differs from a diner" in base
ball. This club is used for getting
ball out of sandpit, or long grass,
where distance is hardly an item.
The Lofter is iron-footed, and still
more turned back as TO face. 1t is used
to jump the ball out of a deep bunker,
and to make it rise quicker while not
going so far as the mashie would send
it. The lofter is also used to send the
ball up on the putting green.
The Putter is club used for sending
very short but extremely accurate
strokes, those, for example, which
actually send the ball into it's hole
after it has been sent up on the green
with the lofter. Some of these are
iron, some wood; the metal are better.

The Chicago free silver plank
opens the United States mints to
the world, as the following from
the Chicago Record indicates:
THE proposition for the free
coinage of the product of Amer
ican silver mines has been sug-
gested by various individuals, but
no party stands for that policy.
The Chicago convention in its
platform declares for "the free
and unlimited coinage of both
silver and gold at the present
legal ratio of I6 to I, without
waiting for the aid or consent of
any other nation" This means
that the United States shall coin
all silver Offered, from whatever
source. 1t means the free coin
age of so much of the worlds
product as may be brought to the
mints. There is no custom duty
on foreign gold and silver"

The surplus wheat of this coun-

market. 1t will go there with
free silver, just as it does under
the gold standard. The wheat
from the Argentine republic-the
surplus wheat-goes to the same
great market, so. does the wheat
from Russia and India, and where
ever men raise more than home
people need; and in that great
market, outside of the United
States, the price is fixed and the
American price is just the same
as the Argentine price, just the
same as the India price or the
Russia price, and the same num-
Der of cents on the gold standard

Four years ago Bryan said
"give us free trade and the Ameri-

ones be built" But they closed.
He said: "Give us free trade and
employment for men will in
crease" But it decreased. He
said: "Give us free trade and wa

said: "Give us free trade and
business will BOOM" But it bust

ON the variation of the ratio be-
tween gold and silver as affected
by the amount of each metal pro-
duced, the reports of the bureau
of the mint furnish some interest
ing figures. Taking the period
now most under discussion, the
estimated production of the world
in a. 1S73was, gold, 4,652.675 ounces;
silver, 63,267,ooo ounces; in 1883,
it was, gold, 4,614,o75 ounces; sill
yer, 8o.177,ooo ounces; in 1893, it
was, gold, 7,6o5,9o9 ounces; silver,
161,776,1oo ounces. In other
other words, during the twenty
years from 1873 to 1893 the pro-
duction of gold increased 65 per
cent while the production of Sill
yer increased 155 per cent.
