ambassador OH a Special Mission.

ambassador OH a Special MISSION"
The action of the president in desig-
mating eX-Secretary of State John w.
Foster to be IAN ambassador on spe-
cial mission" for the purpose of nego-
tiatiug new sealing treaty with Great
Britain, is the first appointment OF the
kind on record. The object in desig-
mating him as an ambassador is to place
him on an equal footing with Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British ambassador.
Sir Julian is very devoted to all mat
tiers of etiquette, and his desire to be
treated with all the respect and dignity
due 10 the personal representative of
the queen of Great Britain and ireland
has led at times to some embarrass-
ments. If Gen. Foster was merely a
minister or commissioner, Sir Julian
mi ht not regard him as an equal, but,
as an ambassador, Gen. Foster meets
him on the same footing.
Gen. Fosters work is much more i'm
pOrtant than is generally supposed. 1t
is the hope of the administration that
he will be able to negotiate a treaty or
modus vivendi with Great Britain for
the suppression of pelagic scaling
which will be agreed to or be Jointly
signed by Russia and Japan, the only
other nations having an interest in the
sealing industry. The fact has never
before been published that during Mr..
Olney's administration, the Russian
government, through its minister
here, offered to negotiate q treaty with
this government for the suppression of
pelagic sealing, but Mr.. Olney, who
always looked upon the excessive
friendliness of Russia for this country,
when English interests were to be af-
fected, somewhat in the light of the
Greeks bearing gifts, refused the offer,
and the matter was allowed to drop.

MORE than one hundred years ago
the people of DENLY Dale, in Y ork-
shire, England, as a mark of thank
fulness for the recovery of George III,
from mental arrangement, gave pic
mic, the most striking land filing fea-
ture of which was a huge meat pie
weighing $500 pounds, 1120 pounds of
flour being used in the crust while
hundreds OF pounds of beef, mutton,
veal, lamb and pork, 81 rabbits, 40
pigeons, various fowls and 100 small
birds went into the filling. The bat
tie OF Waterloo, the repeal of the corn
laws and it's anniversaries have since
been celebrated by the baking, cutting
and eating of similar pies at DENLY.
This year the greatest pie of all is to
be prepared in honor of the queens
golden jubilee-and it is not altogether
that some of the numerous
"pie-hunters'' of this country may visit
DENLY Dale in June.

Doctors Mistake,

Many times women cali on their fam
lily physicians, suffering, as they i'm
agine, one from dyspepsia, another
from heart disease, another from liver
or kidney disease, another from ner
vous exhaustion or pOstration, an
other with pain here and there, and in
this way they all present, alike to
themselves and their .easy-gOlng and

separate and distinct diseases, of which
he prescribes his pills and potlons, as
Stunning them to be such, when in
reality, they are Only symptoms caused
by some womb disorder. The physician
ignorant of the cause of suffering, en-
courages his practice" until large
bills are made. The suffering patient
gets no better, but probably worse, by
reason OF the delay, wrong treat
ment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine, like DR.. Pierce ;
FavorIte Prescription, directed to the
cause would have entirely removed the
disease, thereby dispelling all those
distressing symptoms, and instituting
comfort instead of prolonged misery.
The medicine enables a sensitive, mod
est woman to avoid the unnecessary
physicians examinations" and the
generally useless and stereotyped
local application treatment.

One of the heaviest loads in most

Ship Burned at Her Dock.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-The ship Port

smoke, which poured out from the

streams of water into the hold. Two
tugboats which were lying beside the
ship towed her out into the river. After
about three hours work, when the
6remen were congratulatiug themselves
upon having the fire under control, q
