TO EVERY MAN.
The Method of a Great Treat
ment for Weakness of Men.
Which Cured Him After Every
thing Else Failed.

Painful diseases are bad enough, bur
when q man is slowly wasting away with
nervous weakness, the mental forebodings
are ten times worse than the most severe
pain. There Is no let up to the mental suf.
fering day or night. Sleep Is almost i'm
possible and under such q strain men are
scarcely responsible for what they do. For
years the writer rolled and tossed on the
troubled sea of sexual weakness until il
was a question whether he had not better
take q dose OF poison inc thus end all his
troubles. But p~rovidential inspiration
came to his aid In the shape of q combina-
ton OF medicines that not only completely
restored the general health, but enlarged
his weak, emaciated parts to natural size
and vigor, and he now declares that apy
man who will take the trouble to send his
name and address may lave the method of
this wonderful treatment free. Now when
! say feee, l mean absolutely without cost,
because I want every weakened man to get
the benefit OF my experience.
am not a philanthropist, nor do I pose
as an enthusiast, but there are thousands
OF men suffering the mental tortures of
weakened manhood who would be cured at
once could they but get such a remedy as
the one that cured me. Do,not.try to study
out how l can afford to pay the few post
age stamps necessary to mail the informa-
ton, but send for 1t, and learn that there
are a few things on earth that, although
they cost nothing to get, they are worth q
fortune to some men and mean q lifetime
OF happiness to most of US. Write to Thorn.

THE new Wool Exchange has been
thrown open in New York for private
trading. One month from to-day the
first public auction of wool will take
place in New York. Great things are
claimed for the new exchange, the in
corporators claiming that the produc.
ers of wool are IN the hands of q very
few buyers, who control the price.
They say the exchange will give them
an American market, open to the
world, where quick sales may be made
at ruling prices. Practically, they
say, the exchange does away with the
piddleman, with his shaving of prices
and exorbitant commissions. All
this, they say, will 60 to the credit Of
the producer. OF course, there is an.
other side of the question. When the
exchange comes to control prices, as it
hopes to, and wool becomes a com
modify open to speculation, what will
be the resultp Wool growers may
calm themselves with the recollection
that exchanges love to bull and boost
prices, as a rule, instead Of demoraliz-
ing them. 1t is the millionaire few
who do the latter.

MONDAY EVENING. FEB. 10, 1897.
ST. DAY.

Yesterday, the l4th inst, was "Lov-
ers' day" and no doubt the usual
number of valentines, comic and senti
mental, were received and distributed
by our lads and lassies. For days, the
windows of our dealers have been
decorated with the missives that on the
occasion made happy or sad the hearts
Of many.
The dignlfed but prosy lover who
on St. Valentines day, 100 years ago,
wrote a stately letter to his mistress,
describing his attachment, with per-
haps q cupid II pierced heart at the
top OF the page, would be somewhat
astonished if he could see the lots OF
pretty things that had been prepared
for the lads and lassies of 1897. The
valentines on the whole cannot be sAid
to differ greatly from those of last year,
except that they are even more attract
ively gotten up. They range in price
from four for a cent to $40 and more.
They are to be found in every form,
and the decorations of many Of them
approach real art. There are q few
novelties among the comic valentines,
many of which are likely to cause
much merriment. The day this year
was perhaps quite a. much observed in
the sending of love and comic missives
as heretofore. The little ones especially
did not let the day pass unobserved.
The day falling on Sunday, letters of
love were generally posted on Saturday.

The Denver Republican concludes
an editorial commendatory Of the
school Of mines, the agricultural col
lege and the Silver City normal school,
of this Territory, as follows:
These institutions nave grown up within
a few years, and their progress indicates
the Advancement OF New Mexico along
educational lines. They are all entitled to
the liberal favor of tho general assembly
of the Territory. These schools will do
more to invite immigration and create .
pride In the Territory than any other
single agency. Other things being equal,
the western state or Territory which has
the best schools, will succeed best In gain
ing the most desirable population.

Ar q time OF depression. like tho
present. expenditure should not be
checked; II anything, one ought 10
spend more than his usual amount At
such a time II he can afford It. This 10
not because indulgence in expenditure
is normally good for the community,
but because Of the abnormal condition
existing, namely, q failure Of the usual
demand 10 the various lines Of business
But 1t must be remembered that there
are plenty Of ways Of spending besides
self-indulgence. Even in giving ia
downright charities, 1t must not be
overlooked that the amount thus ex-
pended does not stop at the pockets Of
the poor who are relieved, but imms.
diately goes into the channels Of trade.
rhe sum Of the economic part Of the
matter Is this: Don'think you are q
public ben efactor because you habit
usl!y spend lots Of money /; but on the
other hand, don't choose a time o.
distress to cut down your expenditures,
for that is the very time your keeping
them up does some good.

THE GEORGE TICKET.
Statement Given Out DenOuncing
Tammany Hall.

Tammany Hail.
New York, Oct. 9-After a meeting of
the campaign committee, selected by Hen
ry George, had been concluded at the
Union Square hotel, after IL o'clock to-
night, a statement explaining the combi-
nation of the George ticket in New York
county with that of the Citizens Union
was made public. 1t says:
'"The purpose of the men associated un-
der the name of the democracy of Thom-
as Jefferson is two-fold.
Primarily they desire to elect Henry
George mayor of Greater New York To
this end they win insist that every person
al interest shall be subordinated.
Secondly, they propose to fight with
every weapon at their disposal the domi-
nation of the democratic party of Greater
New York by those un-democratic forces
of which Richard Croker is the personif-
cation. and through the influence of which
that party, which in it's essentials, should
be a party of the people, has become, in
New York city, at any rate, the political
weapon of the privileged classes.
THE defeat of Tammany is the triumph
of democracy. The defeat of Plattism is
the triumph of that type of republicanism
which had it's origin with the men who
nominated Abraham Lincoln for President
of the United States"

ATLANTIC's DRY DOCKS.
Special Naval Board Recommends
Concrete Entrnnces.

Washington, Oct. 9.-secretary Long to-
day made public the report of the spe-
cial naval board, charged with the duty
of reporting upon the extent of the re-
pairs needed by the present wooden dry
docks on the Atlantic coast in order to
make them Immediately. available for ma
val uses.
The board recommends that all of these
docks, five in number, viz: Two at New
York, one at League Island. one at Nor
folk and one al Port Royal, S. c., be fit
ted with concrete entrances in place of
those of timber, and that other altera-
tions consequent upon this change be
made as described in the report mainly
in the direction of enlarging the capacity
of the docks, and of making repairs OF
such a nature as to look to the gradual
Transformation of the docks into solid con-
crete docks of full capacity
The estimated cost of these repairs is
about $240,0O0 each.
a question of time before al,
of the timber docks named win
have reached such a state as to be un-
fit for use, endangering ships in them from
their liability to a sudden ingress of
water from collapse of their structure
under the pressures about them. In all
the timber docks, the most serious trou-
bles are likely to occur at the entrances.
Defects in other parts of the docks are
usually accessible and can be repaired SO
long as the entrances and its appurte-
nances be intact. With such an entrance
and casson in place the rest Of the struc-
ture and vessels in it are secure and re-
pairs TO it of any character can be made
as required."m

docks, the beard says: "Al docks exam
ined show a condition of more or less rap
id deterioration of the material, due to its
perishable nature, and In certain In.
stances, weakness due to the lack of Sc.
cure fastenings of the timbers. The mos
rapid deterioration appears at Port Roya
The dock at Norfolk is in the worst con.
dition, and is now under expensive re-
pairs.
The three docks at League Island, Nor.
folk, and No. 2 at New York being alike
in dimensions, be enlarged by the same
recommendation. This is that the en-.
frances be enlarged to a width of seven
two feet at the bottom sill
that the gate or caisson be
heightened correspondingly by twenty
feet, that the cross section of the docks
be widened by placing a concrete sup
porting wall along its sides to support
the altars above, and that the new en-
trance be made of concrete. All timber
in the present floor of abutments, excep
piles, to be replaced by concrete The
estimate for making these extensive
changes is $3.50 556 for each dock
1.-The work at Port Royal will be more
extensive than at the other points, because
of the necessity for supporting more ex
tensively the wooden altars from below
with concrete walls, but the estimate /!
still placed al $40, 500

GuIrERAs' REPORT QUESTIONED.

Physicians at Galveston Think
There Is No Fever There.
Galveston, Tex, Oct. 9.-Dr. II. A West,
a member of the Galveston board of
health, and the nominal head of the board
during the sickness of City Health Ply
sician DR.. c. w. Fisher, tonight made
the following announcement:
"Dr. Guiteras has reported to Surgeon
General Wyman that there are eight posi-
tive cases of yellow fever in Galveston.
We che local physicians of Galveston)
held an informal meeting Saturday night
TO discuss matters. Some of the physi-
clans do not agree with DR.. Guiteras, and
they thought we should not submit to his
opinion; others agreed wiCh him. Some
of the physicians did not feel that the
facts justified the opinion that the cases
are yellow fever"
Dr. Guteras would not give his report
Saturday night, but through DR.. West, it
was learned that DR.. Guiteras thought the
disease would not be widespread or of a
Virulent character.
Dr.. c. W. Trueheart, who has been
through several yellow fever epidemics,
says: Il have examined two of the cases
which DR.. Guitefas considered suspicious,
ana 1 saw not the slightest trace of yel-
low fever. 1 have found no symptoms Of
yellow fever in my practice, and do not
believe it exists in Galveston to-day"
There is every indication that if the
disease is yellow fever it is of very mild
type and will be attended with little or no
mortality.
There have been no deaths here from
dengue.

He Calls Upon the President and Re-
views Spatn's Affairs.
Washington, Oct. 9.-Hannis Taylor, late
United States minister to Spain, has ar
rived in Washington. He called at tho
state department to-day and was in con-
sultation for some time with First AS
sistant Secretary Day, setting out such
phases of the conditions In Spain as they
existed at the date of his departure from
Madrid, as had not been touched upon
In his official reports before being relieved
by Minister Woodford.
Mr. Taylor called upon President Nc
Kinley late this afternoon and furnished
him with a brief review of the situation
in Spain. In the course Of the interview,
1t is believed, he advised tho President OF
the probabilities of the recent cabinet
change in Madrid effecting a change in
the Cuban policy of the Spanish govern
ment He probably will see the Presi-
dent again before leaving the city.
Mr.. Taylor has submitted his final offl-
cial report. He will leave Thursday or
Friday for New York and Boston, ana,
on account Of the yellow fever, probably
will delay returning to his home in Mo-
bile, Ala. until November.
