LIMA. Peru. via Galveston. Dec. l.
President Pierula has vetoed The measure
recently passed by congress legalizing non
Catholic marriages in Peru and providing
for the registration Of such marriages.
He gives as his reason the fact that the
Lilll only authorized the registration of
foreigners, without providing for native
horn Pcruvians descended FROM Protestants
who held 10 the religion of their fathers.
The Presidents action in vetoinc the
measure has called forth much adverse
criticism.

ton against consump-
ton. If the blood is pure and the tissues
sound and healthy, the deadly germs of
consumption are harmless. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is the great
blood-purifer and tissue builder 1t makes
the liver active, the digestion perfect, and
the appetite keen. 1t drives out all disease
There is another and graver danger that
threatens woman in the marital relation.
1t is the peril that attends maternity. No
woman can safely become a mother who
suffers from weakness or ill-health of the
delicate organs that bear the burdens of
child bearing. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription robs maternity of its unnatural
terrors. 1t makes woman strong and Wig
orous where she most needs strength and
vigor. 1t banishes the annoyances of the
period of anticipation and makes the little
strangers advent easy and almost painless.
Good druggists sell both the Golden Med
scription " and will not try to substitute in
ferior preparations.
"I suffered with a bearing down pain in INV
pelvis and hurting in my back and loins espe
cially whenever I exposed myself or took cold"
writes Mrs. Tillie Cunningham of Weir, Choctaw
Co.. Miss. II took DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-.

all my bad feelings have disappeared"
Bilious attacks and constipation are
surely, speedily and permanently cured by
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets They regu-
late and invigorate stomach, liver and bow
els. One little Pellet" is gentle laxative,
and two . mild cathartic. They never
gripe. An honest druggist will not offer
some worthless substitute for profits

Base Ball Endangered.
From the New kork Sun of Yesterday.
The statistics Of fowdyism on the base
ball field this season show very discredit-
National League appear more like rowdies,
prgilistic and foul-mouthed. than ball play
ers among whom a)carefully made set Of
rules might be expected to insure perfect
order and decency of behavior.
We believe that, as between the miscon-
duct of the players and that of the crowds
seeing the game in the various cities, the
players have been the cause. The Ameri-
can crowd Is proberbially fair and ORDERLY,
and, If it Is otherwise about the ball field,
1t is because of the frequent breaches of
discipline and good manners on the part of
the players themselves.
And all this rowdyism Is useless. The
rule of the game forbids an umpire to re-
verse his decision, and yet the captains and
other members of their clubs regularly de-
nand of the umpire, always with abuse
rule.
OF course the responsibility for this lies
with the owners of the clubs, and not with
the players. Let the owners positively for-
bid these brutal interferences with the
game and its discipline, and the sport will
get back the good repute which 1t has lost
Make the umpire like the man at the
wheel. No talking to him
