JAPANESE REVERE RULERS.

Private letters from Kioto bear proof
that the japanese have their own way
of doing tAlngs. They recently had a
new issue of postage stamps which bore
Portraits of two of the princes who died
in the recent war. Stamps of two and
of five sen were to be issued. In the
United States one portrait would have
been on the two-sen stamp and one on
the five-sen stamp, but in Japan it was
thought that this would be discrim-
mating against the memory of the one
pictured ON the lower denomination.
This is why philatelists find that
there are two new two-sen and two new
five-sen stamps each denomination
having one kind in memory of each
prince. But even this careful arrange
ment did not prevent new trouble

reverently lift them to their head, care

Offensive
Catarph.

Catarrh IS seemingly one of the
most complicated of ailments, and
one which the doctors are absolutely
unable to cure. The reasons for
this are easily explained. Catarrh is
a blood disease and only a blood
remedy can effect it. The various
sprays, douches and washes which
are employed as local treatment,
may, for a time, alleviate the
trouble, but no one ever knew of
such treatment producing a cure.
They can not reach the seat of the dis
ease, as the experience of many
sufferers will prove; nothing can do
so except a real blood remedy.
In the treatment of Catarrh, S. s.
). has demonstrated the fact that it
reaches deep-seated diseases, which
other remedies can not touch.
Mr.. Chas. A. Parr, the leading wall
paper dealer, of Athens, Ga, writes:

Few DOGS BECOME RAeIp.
Many Dogs Supposed to Be Mad Are
O3fy Ill.

many Dogs Supposcu TO Be mad Are
Oaly Ill.
There is a popular delusion regard
ing the prevalence Of madness amor =
dogs, especially in the summer seasoa.
John 7. Haines, president OF the Ameri-
can Society for the Prevention of Cruel
ty to Animals, is authority forthe state
nlent that of the thousands OF alleged
mad dogs reported by the newspapers
and police few, if any. are really mad
The general opinion seems TO be that
when a dog acts art all Strange-runs
around, barks, or does anything to call
attention TO him-he is mad and must
be shot at once Otherwise he might
bite some one, with dire results. Ia a
hot spell, when man and beast alike are
suffering from the effects of the sum
rays, the mad dog story is revived. While
men and women are being picked up in
the streets and taken to hospitals, while
horses are falling in their tracks and
are being shot to put them out of mis-
cry, the poor dog, mans favorite conn
panion, is again made the subject of
understandable lander.
Mr.. IIaines told Tribune reporter
that it was a great mistake that the
public should have been kept so long in
ignorance of the true features of mad
logs. Much of the terror and fear of
hydrophobia which now exists might
otherwise have been avoided ii people
could be led to understand that a real
mad dog was Of exceedingly rare occur

from dogs which acted in the manner

LABOR AND POLITICS.
Address by the President of the Vest ern Federation Of Miners.

Edward Boyce, president of the Western Federation of Miners, deliv- cred au adjress on Wednesday night from the band stand, to very large and attentive gathering. He was in troduced by Walter Shanley, president of tho local union. The subject an uounccd vas, "yirtues of Organized labor" The speaker did not stick to the text very closely, however, but talked at some length of the deplorable condition of tho laboring class through. out the United States, and declared that the remedy for present evils lay in the ballot box, and he counseled harmony and CO operation amongst the toilers and producers of the land that they might have a controlling voice in Legislation and the administration of the government. Tho object of organ ization of labor he said was protection against the injustice and greed of capi- tai, but did not necessarily contemplate strikes as remedy. In fact he was opposed to strikes and lockouts which always resulted disastrously to labor. Such remedies were Q last resort, to be employed only after arbitration had failed. Mir. Boyce declared himself Populist, and concluded with perfor- ation on William Jennings Bryan.
 The speech was well received and clicited hearty applause.
 At it's conclusion many repaired to the new building opposite r. w. West meyers, where dancing was inaugura- ted. The attendance was large, in fact too great for the capacity of the room. It was, nevertheless, very enjoyable affair, for which the Globe Miners Union is 10 be congratulated
