To-day marks the beginning in
England and every British posses
sion of the celebration of Queen
Victoria's diamond jubilee, and the
people of every country will pay a
tribute of respect to her. For six
ty years she has sat on England's
throne and her reign has been
such as to win for her the love
and loyalty of her subjects, and
the esteem and respect of the
world. May this pure woman and
affectionate mother, during whose
reign have occurred many of the
most important epochs in history,
be spared to her people, for years
to come.-States.

which shows that the demands of
the people for a speedy enactment
of this law is being needed.
There is a sharp contest on the
wool schedule, and the duty on
hides is meeting with opposition
from the leather trust, and, strange
to say, from the New England
senators, who have, day IN and
day out, pleaded for a tariff on
manufactured articles in leather
from their own section. Every
farmer in the land is interested to
some extent in a protection on
hides, just as he is in a duty on
cotton, wool or wheat, although

The Lake Bridge.


The different contract for the
building of the lake bridge were
sold to the lowest bidders Mon
day, as follows:
Lumber by Hall e. Burdin, l47
thousand feet at 1895 per thou
send.
The hauling of the lumber was
secured by J. B. de Lalaire at
$1.4O per thousand feet.
The building of the bridge was
awarded to Rodolphe Fuselier for
$500.
T. j. Liable secured the contract
for nails at $1.95 per barrel and
coal tar at Sc per barrel.
All the contracts for this bridge
are for spot cash, which is the
reason that the bidding was pref.
ty lively.

public official, they should set a
better example than in appointing
Stamps, a notorious colored politi-
cal buccaneer, to such an impor-
tant and responsible position as a
member of the Board of Trustees
of the Southern University, a col
lege of character. and within
which our colored fellow-citizens'
children receive the higher educa-
tional finish.
Demas may have been a bad
man politically, but Stamps was
SO rotten in that respect in those
days of long that he was linked In
name in reconstruction times with
Warmoth and Kellogg, and that
was sufficient to damn him beyond
recall.
But Democracy of the kind call
ed Foster, while expressing horror
for the bad companions of others,
is not choice in its own, and while
Stamps was too bad even for an
associate in iniquity with War
moth and Kellogg, he seems fiji
person for Fosterism to reward
with high honors.
While the New York World is
exposing Demas," it might beal
in mind that there are others
such as Stamps who are infinite
ly worse than the worst of the jol
lot of reconstruction buccaneers
and that Democracy has crowned
one of the them with a position o
trust.

Just why the Democrats, how

would excite wonder. So long as
he was useful to them he was par

SOLID FACTS WHICH HAVE A WORLD
OF MEANING.


OF MEANING.
Deserved success always commands
the respect and admiration of the peO-
pie. The man, the machine. the medi-
cine doing greater and better things
than others can do, wins fame and pc.
puIarity.. A thing which proves over
and over again its power TO do that
which it promises to do is sure of the
abiding confidence of mankind. An ar
ticIe which stands out in the full light
of great success, unapprOached by all
competition. Is permanently fixed in the
minds Of men as honest and reliable.
Look at the magnificent success Of
that sterling preparation. Hoods Sarea-
parilla. To what is this great success
duep
Think of the facts. First, there is the
great Laboratory of Hoods Sarsaparilla.
1t is building which contains over
three acres of floor space, and it is the
largest structure in the world devoted
exclusively to the business of proprie-
tary medicine. What does this fact
meanp 1t means that the business OF
making and selling Hoods Sarsaparilla
is Of immense proportions.
Next, there are the cures by Hoods
Sarsaparilla. These cures have been
spread before the world, year after year
they are known to be true, genuine, I'M
impeacIiable facts. They are numbered
by thousands. Every mail brings in
these wonderful reports OF cures BY
Hoods SaTsaparilla. Letters are alst
being received. from time to time. from
people who were cured many years agt
and now write to say the cures are per.
manent-that when once the offending
impurities which caused their suffering
have been driven from the blood b,

of the disease. No other has such a re.
cord of cures as Hoods Sarsaparilla,

There must be something in a
dog. Now, as a rule, dogs are
considered as belonging to a very
ordinary branch of the worlds
makeup. He fills a place that
may, or may not, be exalted in the
estimation of the individual. That
some dogs occupy high position
in the affections of certain people
is evidenced by an advertisement
which appeared in a recent edi-
ton of this paper. 1t mentioned
a dog that was lost. The canine
was old, deaf. blind in one eye,
and had tumor of the throat, and
yet, in spite of these aggregated
infirmities, its owner wanted to
pay $40 for the return of the ami
NAL. Here was a dog that was
evidently loved because of old as
sociations. A dog that had served
its master with untiring and I'M
swerving fidelity, and now, in its
old age, its master wishes to pay

Game at Scranton-Notes.

After the third inning of yesterdays
game with Fall River the Pawtuckets had
everything their own way. Mr.. Norcom
was assigned to do the serving for Mana
ger Marston's team and 1t did not take Capt.
Stouch and his men long TO solve the prob
lens that he propounded.
McCafierty did the honors for the
Maroons, and after the first inning, when
the visitors touched him up for a single,
homer and double, he kept them well in
hand. His support was first-class, al
though the only error counted in the run
getting, aided by a hit by pitched ball
and couple OF put-outs. Several hot
double plays aided him in this work, one
from Beaumont to Stouch and back to
Beaumont at first, bringing the crowd to
its feet.
The support accorded Norcom was as
ragged as the bottom of tramp's trousers.
Cook and Kelley were the chief offenders.
The former is a pitcher, but in the Grip
pied condition Of the Border City team he
was assigned to play right field. He made
three glaring muffs of flies sent to his
territory and let a grounder percolate
through his pedal extremities. Then two
or three balls fell safe in his pasture which
should have been recorded as outs. Kel-
iey's misplays In centrefield proved to be
disastrous and resulted in runs being
scored.

CONS curves the worst, the former lining
out a single and couple of doubles, while
the leftfielder, in addition to a couple Of
singles, was cruel enough to put the ball
over the fence after one of Writings two
baggers. The score:
