REDUCING FARES WEST.

San Francisco, Nov. 24-The Chron-
icle, says:
Railroad men are in hourly expecta-
ton of the receipt of orders to cut
passenger rates from this city to Chi
cago $3.50. The fight between the
Wisconsin Central and other roads
east has thus far resulted in a reduc-
ton of fares from s11 to S. between
Chicago and st. Paul. This does not
affect trans-continental rates, but the
moment the cut is extended to the
Missouri river it will reduce passenger
rates just thst much from San Fran
cisco to Chicago. Present rates are
s72.5O for thirty days first class tick
cts; $3.50 for first class limited and
$3.50 for second class tickets. This
is on the basis Of s6O.5O and sac from
1880 on which The waring lines can
make reductionE.

1t goes to Buy Medicines for Cuban
Insurgents.
New York, Nov. 24.-T. Estrada Pal
ma, who represents the Cuban revolu-
tionary government in this city, had
his attention called to Richard Crok-
er's statement that the $4,000 turned
over to Palma by Tammany Hall was
given without conditions, in the con-
fidence that it would be used for the
best possible purpose.
Mr.. Palma confirmed this statement
and said:
1--WE did not ask for money to buy
munitions of war. We have all the
guns and ammunition we need. Tam
many Hall turned $4,000 over to me
as the representative of the revolu-
tionary government to be used for the
aid of the hungry and sick and wound
ed among the Cuban patriots. 1t will
be used for that purpose and no other
Mr.. Palma added that the bulk of
the fund would be spent to employ
doctors and buy surgical instruments,
bandages and medicines. Some of IL,
he said, would be employed to care
for wounded patriots who reach here
from Cuba. None Of the money, he
stated emphatically, would go to aid
the people concentrated in the cities
and towns by Weylers orders.

WHY LADIES LIKE COFFEE,
Though Many Admit 1t Hurts Then


Many ladies have so great a liking
for coffee for breakfast that the meal
seems fiat and unsavory without it;
but the muddy complexion which is al
most sure accompaniment, is a great
trial, and the question is seriously dis
cussed many and many times over III
ones mind whether it is possible to
give over the coffee and gradually get
back the lost complexion, or keep on
with the coffee and get on with the bad
skin and make the best of it.
The disordered stomach and liver
sometimes bring on more serious
troubles. To quit the use of coffee is
the only true relief; it contains the
same poisonous alkaloids as tobacco,
strychnine and morphine, although less
in volume. One can use the delicious
hot Food Coffee. Postum Cereal, at
meals, and never miss the coffee. 1t
brews the deep-seal brown of Mocha,
and takes on the rich golden brown OF
old Java when cream is added. 1t Is
made by the Postum Cereal Company,
Linn, of Battle Creek Mich, purely and
wholly of the nourishing grains intend
ed by the Creator for mans subsist-
ence. The pungent taste so we'll liked
in strong coffee is retained in Postum.
Nature quickly RECEIVERS when coffee
is left off and the natural health coffee
is used in its place. Healthful sleep IS
again enjoyed, and nerves, stomach, liv-
er, bowels and heart cease their com
planning when the disturbing cause is
withdrawn.
These are great big live facts, worthy
the attention of any one who cares for
the exquisite fun of being perfectly
we'll.
