Curative power is contained in Hoods Sar-
saparilla than in any other similar prepar-
alton. 1t costs the proprietor and manufac-
turer more. 1t costs the jobber imore and it
is worth more to the consumer. More skill
is required in its preparation and it COM
bines more remedial qualities than any
other medicine. Consequently it has rec
ord of more cures and its sales are more
than those of any other preparation. Hoods
is the best medicine to buy be-
cause it is an honest medicine and thous-
ands of testimonials prove that it does ac-
tually and permanently cure disease

In the very heart of the beautiful
Blue Ridge mountains, Nature has re-
served her most charming spot; her
"Garden of the Gods" the Ashville

the spot where human health and
human happiness are in sweet accord
where the blue azure touches lightly
the towering SUBMITS of lofty noun

gushes forth from the hidden springs

Among those gentlemen who have al

the fault of the climate; for there is
something in the drowsy, dreamy sun

Gvsnge any injustice done him.

London Financial News Denies Free
Silver Story.
Chicago, Aug 25.-The day at the Re-
publican national headquarters was quiet
one. There were number OF visitors from
outside points, but they brought nothing
particularly new.
This evening the literary bureau made
public statement refuting the assertion
made in a recent campaign publication
in the interests Of silver. The publication
In question gave what purported to be .
quotation from the london Financial News
Of March 10 last, expressing the opinion
that the adoption of free coinage of silver
in the United States would be disadvan-
tageous to England, and helpful to the
trade and business Of this country This
pamphlet, it is stated, has been very widely
circulated.
Today the manager OF the Republican
literary bureau received a copy of the
London Financial News of August 13, in
which appears the following:
I'VE have received numerous letters from
American correspondents containing what
purport to be editorials from the Financial
News, and which have been reprinted in
various western papers as Campaign litera-
ture' One Omaha paper printed an article
stating that it is from the London Financial
News, of March 10. No such article was
ever printed by Us, and its whole tenor
is directly opposed to the view we have
taken of the erect of free silver in the
United States. 30 far from advocating free
silver coinage, W e have persistently pointed

Tennis TOurna ment
Newport Il l., Aug. 26.-Evcn to the very
end the skies were proptious for the tennis
players and today. the last OF the long
tournament. was perhaps the best of the
entire seven.
Under perfect conditions and with the
championship match still on. the gayly
dressed crowd OF spectators easily ranked
the largest and best OF the week Hovey,
the champion, defended his title against
WreDn, its former holder, from whom a
year ago he wrested it. Another ex-champ-
ion. Campbell, from the referees tally-ho
called the score. WreDn had the service
at the opening and after a long and good
rally won the point on place shot. From
this pOint on through tn e long set the tennis
was of u very high character, as good or
better than any seen this year.
1t was good on both sides of the net too,
and on which side the better was an open
question till the very end.
Hovey's strength was in his CROSS court
playing, on which he repeatedly counted
with Skill. He had great speed, too, and
drove harder than Wrenn, and also now and
then scored an ace on his swift service.
Wrenn's play seemed to be marked by
great care and general excellence of all

OLD MAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Fired a Revolver Point Blank 1t His
Head.

Henry W. Bolton, No l 06 Fourth street
southeast, inflicted slight wound on the
head with a pistol ball yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Bolton is an aged man, and for several
years his mind has been deranged. II the
old man had any reason at all in shooting
himself, it was with intent to commit
suicide.
Mr.. Bolton was confined to his room, aid
during the visit or the family physician,
DR.. Frederick, and in the presence OF Mrs.
Bolton, the invalid reached for a small
pistol which la y on the dressing case. Plac-
ing the mouth OF the gun near his head, lie
fired. The ball lacerated the skin near
the right eye and tore along the skull to
a point back OF the right ear, where it
emerged.
Being spent, the bullet fell upon the bed.
There was flow Of blood and the Con-
cussion caused severe shock TO the old
man, who sank back upon his pillow.
DR.. Frederick explored the wound. The
bullet had not entered the brain, and last
night it was believed that no fracture Of
the skill had been sustained.
Members of the family were averse to
discussing the shooting, as they consider
it a private matter.

RUSSIA'S CHANGE TO GOLD.
Prof. NasimOff, of Odessa, Discusses
Its Abandonment of Silver.

Prof. Alexander Nasimoff, of the Uni
versity of Odessa, Russia, is at the Airing
ton Hotel. He has been travelling for
two months in the United States, princi-
pally in the West, and is now on his way
to his distant home.
The University of Odessa, like all other
estabIishmentsforas similar purpose, is under
the control of the Russian government.
1t is flourishing institution, having an
average of about three hundred students.
Prof. Nasimoff has charge of the law de-
partrnent of the college. He has been very
much entertained, not to say enlightened,
he said, during his visitherebythe discussion
OF the silver and gold question.
When he was leaving Russia they were
about to make the change to the gold
standard there from the silver basis. As
he understands the reasons for the change,
it was that Russia might be in the cate
CORY OF the European nations which had
prospered under the single standard. He
was frank enough to say, however, that
he did not know how the change would
work, but he believes that it is the safest
and soundest financial policy. The change
from silver to a gold basis certainly jim
SOlNeu no HdZdTuOuS experiment., DuG Cue
reverse was not true.
Russia Is the greatest of all domains,
and as it is governed by the NJ ost auto
cratic of governments, there probably was
a chance there, with Its great wealth, to
continue on the silver basis as against
the world. In fact, it had done SO as long
as 1t could, and was now gracefully yield
ing to the inevitable and becoming homo
geneous with other enlightened nations.
Prof. Nasimoff said that his experience
with the intelligent people of this country
whom he h ad met wasthat they ha1a desire
to know something of the religion of Rus
sia. There was nearly always the miscon-
ception that the czar was the head of the
church, whereas he stands in relation to
1t as only the defender of the faith. Prof.
Nasimoff, while discussing this, referred
to the overtures for the reconciliation of
the Roman and Greek churches, but his
Judgment was that there are great many
obstacles to the desired union.
Prof. Nasimoff made Q call Of respect

Senator Stewart, of Nevaaa. last evening
gave to the press a 5000 word open letter
to Senator Sherman, as a reply to his re-
cent speech opening the Ohio campaign at
Columbus.
He accuses Senator Sherman OF grossly
misrepres enting him ana OF quoting garbled
extracts from his tStewart's) speech In
the Senate June II, 1874. By way of ex-
planation Mr.. Stewart says he at that time
inadvertently used the term ''guld'' for
Specie" which was very common in those
days. 'u'. t.u
Senator Stewart quotes largely from his
1874 speech To show that he was then ad-
vocating the '.coin standard OF both gold
and silver instead OF advocating gold,
as represented by Senator Sherman.
90" -BAMBooZLED THE SENATE.
Muct space istaken TO show, by quotations
from speeches, messages, etc., that the
demonstration o silver in the mint act was
secretly accomplished. Senator Skcr-
man is challenged TO point to single word
spoken in ceba,e, up to March 4, 1873,
when his lStewart's) term expired, that
related to the demonstration OF silver.
Senator Stewart, in conclusion, says the
facts convict Senator Sherman of having
imposed upon the Senate in securing the
demonetiZation of silver.
You knew what you were doing at the
time. No other Senator has confessed that
he did, writes Senator Stewart.
He charges that the scheme was successful
because the law came in the shape of a
codification bill coming from the depart
ment, and by reason OF this fact, Senator
Sherman was able TO "cunningly mislead
the Senate
With some warmth Mr.. Stewart says
Senator Sherman left the Senate every
lime he tStewartl spoke toavoid debate in
which Senator Sherman would lie called
upon to explain.
AFRID TO DEBATE
Instead of meeting me in the Senate
and debating the question in the usual
way" says Senator Stewart. you go a
thousand miles away and reiteTatc your
falsehootlS.
''Ihave examined with care your various
attempts TO defend yourself against the
charge that you demuIetized silver. The
only defense which you make is that you
were not caught at it while the bill was
pending, and you lay all the blame upon
me and other Senators for the wicked leSis-
iation. because we did not suspect that
you were Going anything different from
what YOU were pretending to do.

nionetizing silver when the silver in the

than the gold in the gold dollar, the public
undoubtedly will be glad to hear from you.
