Neatly caught.

A builder in a small town was walking
down a street in which he was having
some buildings erected, when he OBJ
served one OF the men standing on a
scaffoldlng, with his hands in his pock-
cts smoking a pipe. He.went gently up
the ladder, and, stepping in front OF him,
said:
Now, I've caught you. Wen have no
more OF this Here's your four days

The man pocketed the money and went

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1..-Julius
Hlrsch, young man who claims to be
the son OF wealthy parents in New Or
leans. Is locked up in the prison.
He came here last June and has since
posed as the scion OF wealthy and IL
lustrious family. Incidentally he has
been forced on one or two occasions to
part with his personal baggage in lieu
OF cash with which to settle HIS board
bill Not being In position to settle
his bill at the Russ house recently he was
elected, but D. f. Wiley, an employe OF
the mint took pity on him and allowed
him to use his room at the hotel. Dur-
ing Wiley's absence In town Hirsch
broke into his friends trunk and stole
several articles OF value, which he pawn~
ed. Upon discovering his loss, Wiley
reported II to the police. who promptly
arrested HIrsch and found pawn tickets

ually bends, the bones ache, while de
crepitude and helpiessness prema'
turely take possession Of the body.
Under this treatment, It Is but a short
step from vigor and health TO PAR
of crutches. With this wreck Of the
system often comes falling OF the hair
and eyebrows, loss Of finger nails,
and decay of the bones-a condition
most horrible. Thisis no overdrawn
picture, for the world to-day is full Of
these hobbling mercurial wrecks.
Contagious Blood Poison is the most
horrible of all diseases, and has been
appropriately called the curse OF man
kind. Until the discovery Of s. s. s.,
Il was incurable. II has always bat'
fed the doctors, and It is in this dis.
ease that the evils Of mercury and
potash are most common, because
these drugs are given in such large
doses in an effort to counteraet the
poison. While they succeed IN bottling
up the poison in the system, 1t always
breaks forth again, attacking some
delicate organ, frequently the mouth
and throat, filling them with eating
sores. s. s. S. Is the only known cure
for this terrible disease.
It is the same in other diseases OF
the blood. Serofula, Eczema, Cancer,
Rheumatism, all are given the same
treatment by the physicians-mercury
and potash, and the result as above set
forth is always the same.
We offer a remedy purely vegetable,
powerful in its effect, yet harmless in
every way. For fifty years S. S. s.
has been curing blood diseases, from
the most violent to the nlildest case,
after all other treatment failed. It is
guaranteed purely vegetable, and one
thousand dollars reward is offered for
proof TO the contrary. It is a real
blood remedy for real blood troubles,

Times: 'rhe main objects Of an Amer

revenue for the support OF the govern
ment TO beneiif labor and 10 Stimulate

the duty on bltuminous coal was once
Sc so per ton. In 1872 Il was reduced
from SIPS TO aaventy-lve cents per
ton, while the Wilson bill cut II down
10 FORTY cents This, he argued, was
too low, and the teVenty-fve cent rate
should he restored: The average ad Yas
loren duty under the Mckinley Dill
was lS per cent, and under the when
bill IS Il per cent. Forty cents per ton
on bltuminous coal is equal 20 ABOUT
II per cent I'D vaiorem. IL the duty OF
soVenty-dve cents we're restored, II
would be equal 10 but twenty-five PEI,
cent ad Vaioreul. or only about one-nali
the average duty under the Wilson bill
The duties on articles used by the wage
earners engaged IN mining ana trans
porting coal are much higher than that
on coal Canada imposed = duty OF
sixty cents per long ton on coal, and
we should NOT pay more duty on the
same article to foreign countries than
we receive. Labor Is higher here, capl-
tai more valuable, ana expenses great
er than In competing countries, and
their Goals, on an average are mined
less than forty miles from the sea, while
here the average distance from the
mines to ddewater 10 three hundred
miles. In addition, coal must be car
ried between American ports In Amer
lean vessels, while foreign Goals have
the advantage Of the competition OF
foreign vessels.
Senator Davis pointed out that In
1898 the revenue for coal under the
Mckinley bill was &S29,1Ss and in 1895.
under the Wilson bin, II was only 1885,
1853, while IN the latter year we paid
duty 10 Canada alone on our exports OF
coal TO the amount Of $685.. 9O5. In 1880,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virgin-
IA, Virginia and Alabama employed
about 1850 men In the production of
bituminous coal; and the number is
now about 100000, representing half a
million people dependent upon this In
