after exhausting their efforts without
doing me any & ood, they gave up the
case as hopeless. When informed that
my father had died from the same
disease, they said must die, as hered-
itary Cancer was incurable. / was
terribly reduced in health, and felt as
IL my life was wasting away.
" At this crisis, l was advised by a
friend to try $. S. S., and in a short
while the Cancer seemed more in-
famed than before. i was informed
that was favorable, however, as the
medicine acts by forcing out the
poison through the pores of the skin.
Before long the Cancer began to
discharge and continued to do so for
three months; then il began to heal.
I continued the medicine a while
longer, until the Cancer disap-
peared entirely, and l enjoyed better
health than ever before. This has
been several years ago and there has
not been a sign of return of the
disease"
Cancer Is becoming alarningly
prevalent, and manifests itself in
such a variety of forms, that any
sore or scab, il matters not how small,
which does not readily heal up and
disappear may we'll be regarded with
suspicion.

Cancer :
Can be Cured.

II Is very often that the most insig-
nificant symptoms are forerunners of
the most violent disease. There is
not a more destr uctive disease than
Cancer, and in a majority of cases IL
Is first indicated by a very small pim-
pie or sore, to which no attention Is
attracted, until IL before long develops
into the most alarming conditions.
Here is another case where the first
symptoms of a most violent Cancer
were too small to receive much notice
until the disease had fully developed.
Mrs. Laura E. Minis has resided at
Smithvilie, Georgia, for years, andis
well known throughout the adjoining
country. In a recent letter she tells
of wonderful case.
She says: "a small pimple of a
strawberry color appeared on my
cheek; il soon changed to purple, and
began to grow rapidly, notwitbstand-
ing all efforts to check it, until il was
the size of a partridge egg. My eye
became terribly inflamed, and was so
swollen, that for quite while l could
not see. The doctors said I had Cam

TO CELEBRATE.
How Washington's Birthday Will Be
Honored by knights of st. Patrick
and the W. nj r

HOW Washfngton's Birthday VIII Be
Honored by knights of st. Patrick
and the Y. nj. I.
The Knights OF ST. Patrick of this City,
following their usual custom, will cele-
brate Washington's birth on Saturday
evening, February %, at Metropolitan
Temple, Fifth and Jessie streets.
ID. M. Delmas will deliver the Grafton on
this occasion, and his great fame as an
eloquent speaker makes it certain that full
justice will be done to the character of
Washington, who was First in war, first
IN peace, and tirst in the hearts of his
countrymen."
The entertainments given by this society
are always complimentary. Admission,
however, is only by ticket, which can only
be procured from the mem bers.
Washington's birthday has been selected
by the Young Mems Institute for celebra-
ton throughout the Pacific Coast as a Y.
M. l. day. In this City a committee of
represe ntatives from each council has been
organized to take charge of the arrange
ments for the local celebration. Robert
Tobin of Pioneer Council No. l has been
elected chairman, Samuel Haskins of
Columbia Council No. 55, vice chairman,
and John f. Callaghan of Washington
Council No. 4, secretary treasurer
1t has been decided to hold literary ex-
ercises at Metropolitan Hall on Fifth street
in the afternoon, at which an address will
be delivered by Catholic clergyman A
prominent member of the laitv will be
selected as orator.

SEALERS NOT SATISFIED
They Want Complete Regulations From
the Treasury Department. Signed
by Secretary Carlisle

the Treasury Department. Signed
by Secretary Carlisle.
The sealers of this City are not satisfied
with the shape in which the regulations
for 1896 have come to the Custom house
from the Treasury Department. Broker
W. ii. Thornley,, who attends to the entire
sealing business of the City, explained why
yesterday afternoon. He said:
If YOU remember the shape in which the reg
ulations have come is simply this: On one
side OF the printed sheet is q blank
special license and on the other
the regulations. Now, the sealers want
something upon which they can safely
rely. How do we know that no sooner than
some of our vessels have started out the Treas
ury Department will change the regulations in
some way or another?
What we want is regulations signed by the
Secretary OF the Treasury as a guarantee that
they are complete and trustworthy. / have
toms N. S. Farley to write to the department
for such, and we think it ought to be done.
This sealing business is pretty responsible
one, and when a man is under Sl5 900 or 500 :
600 bonds he likes to be sure of every step he
takes.
Our vessels are all tied up here yet, with the
exception OF three, awaiting satisfactory regu.
lat1ons. The Washington authorities ought to
CONSIDER the sealing interests of this port as
worthy OF timely and proper attention.
The three sealing schooners which have
already put to sea-which sailed, for that
matter, before the regulations came-are

there is wide difference between the two

forms of religion.
Again, secondly, we differ as to the right of
private Interpretation of the Bible. The Ro-
man Catholic Church opposes the reading of
the Bible, or perhaps more correctly, it con-
dennis the exercising of the readers mind on
the Bible which he reads. He may read for
himself if he will only let the church think for
him. Before he pretends to understand those
passages which he reads he must inquire how
the church has always interpreted them, and
what the Popes and General Councils have
thought about them, and how all the fathers,
have understood them. The Catholic asks,
docs Peter condemn private interpretations"
and they point US to his second epistle, l. 20,
" knowing this first, that no prophecy of the
scripture is of any private Interpretation"
Protestants call attention to the fact that Cath
ol1cs cling with wonderful tenacity TO such pas
sages OF scripture as have any appearance OF
fayoring their views.
ProtestantS hold that this passage does not
make for the Catholic cause:
F1rst-Because If the right of private judg-
ment and private Interpretation is taken away
by 1t, as they affirm, it is taken away only with
respect to a small part of the Bible viz, the
prophetic part. 1t does not say that any other
part, the historical the didactic or the horta-
tory, is not OF private Interpretation, but only
the prophetic, that part in which something
is foretold. He does not say no Scripture, but
no prophecy OF the Scripture is of any private
Interpretation.
Granting, then, to the Catholic all which he
contends for, the Protestant claims to have
left him by far the larger part of the Bible
open to private Interpretation. Peter restricts
US only in the matter of prophecy But sec
ondly, Protestants do not believe that the text
referred TO means what the Catholic under
stands 1t to mean This is evident from what
follows 1t. Examine the passage and you will
perceive that Peter, having said that no
prophecy OF Scripture is of any private inter
probation, proceeds to assign the reason of
that assertion, or goes into a further and fuller
explanation of what he said.
The Catholic argument from this passage
may be stated thus: The Bible is an inspired
book; therefore, too obscure and ambiguous to

rs SHE AN ACTRESS?
Point Raised in the Case Of an Atlanta
Exposition Chinese
Girl

Chinese Inspector J. D. Putnam of Los
Angeles is in the City looking up evidence
in the cases of two Chinese women, Goot
Sam and Karn Joy, whom he and Police
man &. R. Harris arrested there last
Thursday for being illegally in the coun-
try.
He says that he found the women in a
den and that one of them, karn Joy, for
whom highlander paid $1,000 and who is
only Is years of age, is one of the Atlanta
Fair girls and that she says she was in San
Francisco as early as October.
Mr.. Putnam has hope that he may be
able to make test case of Karn JOY His
reason for this is that he thinks he can
prove to the courts that she has changed
her status by being found in life of i'm
morality. and that she will not be able to
claim the privilege of sojourn here under
the act OF Congress because of this change
OF status. According to Mr.. Putnam the
law can only be made to apply to the So
called actresses SO long as they remain
actresses.
On the other hand, the Chinese who are
interested in the case claim that they will
be able to satisfy the court that she is still
an actress and member of the company,
and that the scope of the privilege afforded
by the act must include her.

Our latitude was thirty three,

-Four hundred miles more,
We struck this blow, as you may know,
In the cruiser Baltimore.
The other stanZaS were descriptive of the
gale, the plunge OF the ship, the utter de-
morallzation of the berth-deck cooks and
the mess menu:
The seas ran high as on we steamed
Through the thickest of the gale;
Thirty-nine we rolled that night,
For we could carry steadying sail
me barometer was falling fast,
i ne seas were running higher,
When a or en- one over the fo'castle came,
Puttlng out our galley fire.
Our grub was very salty
Especially the stew:
The berth-deck cooks had all gone mad,
For they were hungry, too.
There We're pots, pans and corned-beef cans

In the clemency OF the weather.
