n LOYAL LEGION.
The Eighth Quadrennlai Convention Of that
Order In Session.

DETROIT. Mich, June 2 Delegates
from twenty-one states assembled at
the Hotel Cadillac, this morning, to
participate 10 the eighth %quadrennial
congress OF the Loyal Legion. Tho
arrival OF Secretary of War Alger is
hourly expected. Rear Admiral Ban
croft Gherard,, U. S. N presided over
the opening session and Mayor w. G.
Maybury delivered an address of vel
come. After appropriate responses
and the transaction of preliminary
business, the convention adjourned, TO
enable the delegates to attend a recep-
ton which is being held at the hotel.
The officers being accompanied by their
wives and families.
One u the important matters to be
decided at this congress Is the fixing OF
a new date for the ending OF the civil
war. Under present rulings, the war
ended In 1865, but the United States
supreme court has declared that the
formal end came on August 30th. 1866
It is likely that the Loyal Legion will
amend It's laws to conform to this find
log. Glass distinctions may also be
done away with and a movement Is on
foot to ecure an extension of eligibility
beyond the eldest ons OF army off,
GERS.

NAV is called the month OF flowers, be-
cause under the increasing heat OF the sun,
vegetation blossoms rapidly and lends It's
varied hues to beautify the landscape.
Dnring this month also there are usually
disturbances IN the human body. Winter
diet, the foul air of close rooms, insufficient
exercise, have left the system full OF I'm.
purities. which, under the influence OF
warm weather, manifest themselves In
biliousness, tired feelings, sallowpess,
sluggish brain. nervousness, Indigestion,
loss OF sleep. These symptoms are only
%forerunners of more serious diseases sure
to follow, unless measures are taken to
purify and strengthen the vitel organs.
At this season the cleansing, regulating
and strengthening properties OF PRIcKLY
ASH RITTERs are particularly appropriate.
It is four medicines in one. A kidney tonic,
liver regulator, stomach sfimulant and
howell purifier. A few doses taken when
the annoying bilious symptoms appear will
strengthen and tone up the system and
enable the BODY to pass through the heat
of summer unaffected by the disesses com
mon to the season. Sold by Murpbey-Van

FRIDAY EVENING. JUNE 4. 1897
n AUSTRALIA.


There has long been an impression
that Western Australia was a barren
region, without value except, perhaps
In such minerals as might be found
But now it is claimed that there are
forests there so vast that 1t is estimated
their value, after deducting one third
for waste, will amount to 800, 0OO, 600.
They are found in the extreme south
western portion Of the great island'
and convenient to seaports. Inc TWO
trees most in dema nd are the karri and
jarrah, the former being the giant tree
OF Australia. An average tree may be
reckoped at 200 feet in height and four
feet in diameter at three feet from the
ground, while the first branch does not
appear at less than 100 feet from the
ground. Trees of this size are gener-
ally sound in every respect, free from
knots, gum veins, etc. The wonderful
giant has been known to reach 80 feet
In height.
Karri is harder and more se%rviceable
than the jarrah, although the latter Is
particu larry fitted for the construction
of %jetties and wharves, as 1t resists the
ravages of tn seaworm. The karri is
excellent for railway sleepers, the up
per parts of bridges and especially for
the making of road ways, as II is strong
to resist crushing power, does not be-
come water soaked and does not rot
when underground.
Over So, 900. 900 are already invested
Ia the forests AID mills and in railroads
from the coast to the mills, ond 1000
men are employed

AN American syndicate has bonded
Mexico's great volcano, Popocatepetl.
and proposes to build a road to its top,
so that the tourist can look down into
the crater of the great height. 1t will
be a good thing if accomplished. The
views from the mountain are described
as the finest that ever mortal gazed
upon. The old mountain has been OF
great interest to people from the first.
When u of powder, the soldiers OF
Cortez went to Popocatepetl for sui
phur, and that act alone establishes
how firm was the p urpose, how i'm.
mense the enthusiasm of that dauntless
baud of men, that started from the
sea shore to wrest a thr one from q
ruler who dwelt in the clouds, and
with that thought in mind, shrank
from nothing and %persevered until
the rule of the Aztec passed away for
ever.

A Turkish Question

VIENNA, Nov. 11.-Brazzafold was
expelled from Messina last month on
suspicion of political intrigues. The
Austrian government protested, where
upon the porte allowed him to return.
When he came to land the local off,
cials maltreated him and insulted the
Austrian consul, who intervened. Aus
tria Immediately sent strong note to
the Turkish government, demanding an
explanation. 1t appears that Brazza-
fold first incurred the Turkish suspicion
by befriending fugitive Armenians and
giving to the most necessitious ship
passage by the Austrian Lloyd COM
panys vessels.
