Dear SIR
al have used two and One-half bottles
of your CATARRH CURE on my daughter
who has suffered for four years from Ca
tarrh. Her continual snuffing and
hawking was pitiful. The third day after
using your cure her complexion began
to clear and she was brighter. In con-
junction her hearing and voice was i'm
paired-that Is now entirely obliterated.
l have tested this medicine thoroughly,
and am convinced that 1t will alleviate
and cure suffering humanity from this
most disgusting and terrible disease.
The manner In which 1t clears the nasal
passages will convince the most Skeptical
as to its merits"

French writer's, from Balzac to Zola,

peuples slaves. BY what egrsgious error
in books on geography the French gift of
fine distinctions has been so utterly mis-

There is radical difference between the
Slav and the Magyar difference more

have adopted few hundred vocables from
the Slav idioms in the midst of which
they were living. That is all. 1t is like
the medieval nobleman borrowing few

1t has influenced none of the vital organs

AFTER M'LACHLAN
Republican Silverites to Name a Comm ittee
of One Hundred

The committee appointed by the dele
gates to the late congressional conven-
ton of the Republican party who are
making it very lively for James Nc
Lachlan, the nominee who has repudi-
ated the platform upon which he was
nominated, held another meeting yes
terday.
Sutherland Hutton acted as chairman
and Nathan Cole, Jr. as secretary
There was full attendance.
1t was decided to appoint committee
of 100 silver Republicans to draft a call
and arrange for a mass meeting of sill
yer Republicans to be held at an early
date to determine who the silver Repub
lican voters as body should support for
congress-either Harry w. Patton. the
Democratic nominee, or Charles A. Bar
low. the Populist.
The mass meeting will be gathering
of hundreds of men who have in the past
supported the Republican party and its
nominees without question. but they
cannot go Mr.. McLachlan and his de-
claration for the gold standard in de-
fiance and reputation of the platform
upon which he was nominated.
The committee of 100 will make all ar
rangements for the mass meeting and
VIII see to it that there is a full turnout
of the friends of silver who have in the
past affiliated with the Republican
party.
Mr.. McLachlan will probably think
that the time is approaching, and that
very rapidly, for him to stand from un-

ing demand.

oAiLbOAT SPIDERS.
Tho Queer Discovery That Was Made by
Careful Observer.

1t was reserved for DIR. McCook to dis
cover mode of locomotion used by some
spiders, but previously unknown to natu-
ralsts When studying the habits of GER
tain water spiders, he shook the branches
of tree that stood by the waters edge in
order to procure specimens. A number of
spiders fell, and all travelled back to shore
in ways familiar to the doctor, with the
exception of one spider which seemed to
move across the surface Of the water with
out any motion of its legs.
When it approached the shore, the doc
tor placed it far out on the pond again
and watched it moro closely. In few
moments it resumed it's peculiar method of
travelling and he saw positively that it did
not use its legs. How, then, did it cross
the water? The gentlo breeze blowing
against its body could hardly have driven
it at the rate it was going, for that it was
moving along at a fairly good pace was
evidenced by the little ripplets which
streamed out on either side of the circle of
rigid legs. .
. 1t occurred to the doctor that perhaps
this little mariner was sailing under an
invisible sail. In other words, that per-
haps the spider had let out a number OF
silken threads as tho aeronaut spiders do,
and that, instead of carrying it through
the air, they caused it to skim rapidly over
the surface of the water
AS the curious little chap approached the
land again, the doctor held his cane out
about two feet above the spider. In mo-
ment it came to halt. The mystery was
solved. AS he had suspected, the tiny
craft was really sailing under invisible
sails and as they came into contact with
the doctors cane they adhered to it so
firmly that by sudden movement of the
stick the spider was lifted clear out Of the
water.
1t is just possible that gossamer
thread runs from the tip of each leg to the
one next it, thereby forming diminutive
silken float for the spider to stand upon,
but on this there is no certainty. How
ever, We could hardly ask for anything
more wonderful than u spider that is q
sailor and his own sailboat, and his
own sailmaker, all in one. e.-Our Animal

A Hitch in Suburban sprinkIIng

There is a hitch in the sprinkling of
the streets in the recently annexed ter
ritory in the Rosedale and Vernon dis
tricts Under the terms of the contract
the contractor is to get his pay from the
road funds of the district now in the
county treasury. The contractor was to
have commenced sprinkling last Mon
day, but has failed to do so for the rea-
son that the city has not instituted suit
against the county to get the money.
He says that he is ready to 60 to work as
soon as suit Is brought, but is not dis
posed to do so until that time. as he is
afraid that the people will neglect to do
so, if they are getting their streets
sprinkled anyway. If the contractor
does not at once commence work, the
council will probably declare the con"
tract forfeited at the next meeting. A
delegation from Vernon yesterday
called at the city hall to see why the
sprnkling had not been commenced.

Declines the Gift of Box of ncKinIcy Butt
tons From the State President
The Afro-American league of this city
met in regular session at Panorama hall
last evening, B. F. Talbot presiding.
After the opening of the meeting a
box of Mckinley buttons was presented
to the league from the state president,
T. B. Morton. The presentation of those
buttons called out an enthusiastic dis
cussion, and many of the representative
men of Los Angeles requested that the
buttons be returned to the president,
stating for their reason the following:
That the Afro American league, nom
partisan in it's character, had been
turned into a political club during the
session of the late congress against
the will of many of the representative
men of the convention, and the presenta
ton of those buttons was simply to top
off the actions of the congress. How
ever "a motion to receive the buttons
was tabled indefinitely.
