Catarrh of the Nose.
DR.. Hartman's First Lecture in His Regular An

The Whole Question Ably and Plainly Discussed
by This Eminent Authority.


The accompanying cut shows
the left outer wall OF tho iu-
side Of tho mouth, nose,
pharynx and larynx. The COM
mon name for the latter two
parts is tho throat. In this
lecture we will conflne our
selves TO the nose. This or
gan begins at the two nostrils
called the anterior mares, and
ends behind, just above tho
back end OF the hard palate,
in the postcrior mares, or nos
trils. shaped similar to tn, an
terror nostrils. The pustcrior
mares open into the pharynx
into the front Of that organ at
its upper end. Tho uneven
irregularity of the surface
OF the inside OF the nose
is plainly shown. 7 h o
anatomical name OF each
prominence, depression an d
opening is given. BY studying
the cut an accurate Knowledge
is gained OF this region.
The turbina,cd bones form
part of the right and left
outer walls of the nasal cav
ity. The vomer. or partition.
divides the nasal cavity into
two halves. This partition ex-
tends from between the an
terror mares through che whole
length of the nose; and ends
between the postcrior mares
leaving narrow space be-
tween the inside surface OF

Costa Rica Is Prosperous, and There

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, June 20.-The
Central American members of the pam
American party now touring the coun-

dispatch conspicuously printed in a
New York newspaper concerning the

relations exist between Costa Rica and
Guatemala and that in spite of Costa
Rica's protests the other four states
Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and
Guatemala-had agree to the proposed
union and selected President Iglesias as
the first president of the diet.
Mauro Fernandez, financier and
lawyer of San Jose, said: 1.-The only

of the various states. 1t is a fact that
if the leaders of those five republics,

Salvador has worked for federation
more than all the others, for although
Guatemala in 1885 declared the five re-
publics united, there was no union by
the consent of the five, but an attempt
by General Rufiano Barrios to unite
them by force. All the other republics
rose in arms against it, the Guatemalan

Barrios died on the field and the scheme

Central American republics and the de-
velopment of the country, the best citi-

Americans Grow Firmer-Even Bar

LONDON. June 20.-The money rate
remains practically unchanged and the
abundance of funds keeps short loans
at " per cent, while three months bills
are quoted at Is per cent. There is a
strong demand for gold for the CONT

to the races at Ascot, which have called
many out of town, and the preparations
for the jubilee which engross the atten-
tion OF everybody else. The absentees
will not return before Wednesday, after
diamond jubilee day. But in spite of the
lack of dealings. prices have remained
firm, and consequently there is decid-
edly hopeful feeling as to the future. AS
to Americans, the public is buying low

Ten Starters for the Great Suburban
Handicap


NEW YORK, June 20.-The candidates
for the suburban handicap, to be run
at Sheepshead bay on Tuesday next,
have been sifted down to ten starters
One by one the horses have fallen by the
wayside and the four top weights gave
it up some time ago. This leaves Ben
Brush as the colt with the highest i'm
post, and he will have to shoulder 123
pounds. He is in such fine condition,
however, that he is likely to be the favor
ite from this time out. This seems to
date from his last two races. One week
ago he appeared for the first time this
season and ran a capital race. Then on
Thursday last he carried III pounds and
won a fine race from Belmar at mile
in 1:43%, and looked as if he could have
gone in and made a new figure for this
year a mile and a quarter.
Belmar is the next in weight and his
121 pounds looks like a staggerer, as he
could not get anywhere near Ben Brus /
on Saturday with 11S pounds up, al
though Brush was badly ridden.

that the race lies here. Lake Shore is
