A Washington dispatch says that
Americans bound for Turkey should
have their passports vised by a Turk
ish consul. Minister Terrell, at Con-
stantinople, sends the state department
a note verbale which he has received
from the sublime porte calling atten-
ton to the fact that foreigners some
times arrive without passports, or with
passports without the Ottoman con-
sul's wise. This state of things, says
the sublime porte, being contrary to
the provisions of the regulations on
passports, it advises that Americans
have their passports acted upon by
consuls before leaving home.

NEW SHRUB THAT is A REMEDY.
A Sure Cure for Kidney Diseases and
Rheumatism.

Rheumatism.
It is no doubt true that next to con-
sumption, mere people die yearly from
diseases Of the kidneys than from any
other cause. In some respects Kidney
disease is the most dangerous Of all
maladies, because it usually has made
much progress before the victim Is
aware of it's existence. 1t is, there
fore, with great pleasure we commend
to u readers the recent discovery
in East India CT the Kava-Kava shrub,
which has proved a most powerful
remedy for diseases of the kidneys,
rheumatism, or other ailments caused
by uric acid in the blood. The cures
wrought by this new remedy are indeed
most remarkable. Many who have stuff
cred from the most severe forms of the
disease, have been completely cured in
from twenty to forty days by the
kava-Kava shrub. In the New York
Weekly World Of Sept. 10th, the testi-
mony Of Rev. w. B. Moore, D. D., Of
washington, D. c., was given, describ-
ing his years of suffering from Kidney
disease and rheumatism, and his rapid
cure by Alkavis. Rev. John H. Wat
son of Sunset, Texas, a minister of the
gospel Of thirty years service, was
struck down at his post of duty by
Kidney disease. After lowering be-
tween life and death for two months,
and all his doctors having failed, he
took Alkavis, and was completely re-
stored to health and strength and is
fulfilling his duties as minister of the
gospel. MI. r. C. Wood, a prominent
attorney of Lowell, Indiana, was cur
ed of rheumatism. Kidney and Blad-
der disease of ten years standing by
Alkavis. Mr.. Wood describes himself
as being in constant misery, often COM
PEELED to rise ten times during the
night on account Of weakness Of the
bladder. He was treated by all his
home physicians without the least
benefit and finally completely cured in
a few weeks by Alkavis. The testi-
mony is %undoubted and really wonder
full. Any Of our readers who are so un-
fortunate as to suffer from Kidney dis
orders or rheumatism should write to
the Church Kidney Cure Co., of 422
Fourth avenue, New York, who will
gladly send them free by mail prepaid

alive powers of this new botanic dis
cOVery.

A movement has been started by a
club in London to furnish nurses with
healthful exercise by supplying them
with bicycles. They are supplied with
neat uniforms and have to report for
an outing once a week. Many Of them

time, but they enjoy the change from
trundling a baby perambulator to Gid
ing swiftly along on the silent steed,
and the new movement is having a
great run.

The word "tip," SO much in use at
the present time, had, it is said, its
origin in an old custom in English tav-
ems, where a servants box" or re-
ceptacle for small coin, was often seen.
To this box the guests of the inn were
all supposed to contribute their mite,
and at regular intervals the box was
opened and the contents distributed
among the servants. Upon the box
was inscribed this legend: ITO insure
promptness." The initials of this SEN
tence form the word tip" and thus we
have the word.

SAKS SAYS
THE UMPIRE AND THE RULES.
Well-known Baseball Writer Talks
About President Nick Young.
IA
mch2- tf-pm

Pringle in the Pittsburg Dispatch pays
his respects to President Nick Young in Wig
orous style. Among other things it says:
What is needed in the gane-not only in
the matter of the baIk, but in very many
other connections of baseball, is uniformity
of definitions regarding the rules 1t may
be that we may never expect to have this in
some cases. no matter how clear the rules
are, for influences will ever be at work to
have more or less effect on the minds of the
umpires. A timid umpire will probably
not, under certain circumstances, render a
decision that places the pitcher at
fault, while some other umpire of stronger
nerve would do so. This will probably be
the case as long as there are rules to be de-
cided by judgment only. tits human nature
to expect such.
But, despite all draw backs, 1T would be
one of the greatest blessings to the national
game if there could be means devised by
which the opinions of umpires on balks,
Illegal deliveries, correct method Of coach
ing and other things of similar nature
would be uniform, and President Young
could not he better employed than in trying
to educate hisumpires on this matter.
ut may not be out Of place TO draw his
attention to the fact that there is just as
much diversity of opinion among the Uni-
pires regarding the coaching rules as there
is on any other rule. What one umpire
thinks is correct coaching another will not
tolerate; that has been proven already this
season. There should be uniformity IN this
by all means, for it is one of the leading
features OF the game. 1t is easier to get
uniformity on this point than en- the matter
of balks, and the League president would do
well to instruct the umpires on the rule Of
coaching so that they may be more in har-
mony one with another tina nthey have been.
1.-THE presidents instructions also coTer
the enforcement of the rules, and he urges
the umpires to act at all times fearlessly.
This kind of advice is worth all that has
been given before. II the umpires do not do
this then it is no use having rules at all
The trouble in the past has been intensified
by unpires being little more determined
at one place than at another, and this Will
never do. An umpire must at all times be
as forcible as he can, and il he is this here
will belittlechance fore hargesof paItality.''

From financial standpoint, the failure
of the Washington team to play yesterday
at Cleveland was a big loss to Treasurer
Wagner. His share in the receipts would
have been at least So, 500 However, the
Senatorial magnate, as in all other matters,
looks at the affair in philosophical way,
and ne hopes that if President Robson
wins his case, he will have a chance TO
reap the harvest OF Sunday game at
Cleveland
Information from the Forest City is to
the effect that the Washington men are
all in good condition, and that they will
20 into today's game full Of confidence.
Their saut-out at PittSburg was. Il is
claimed, nothing more than big luck for
the Pirates. The failure to hit Tannehill
has not been accounted for, and as they
had been hitting the Southpaw twirlers, it
is hard 10 understand why the eX-Vireinia
leagucr was so effective.
One game out Of three at Pittsburg is
fairly well, as Patsy Donovan's recon
structed team is no slouch of a club. They
stand fourth, with a good percentage To
their credit, and although they are IN
their own garden III does not DenelU tttfn
much, because they made the best record
away from home in the opening games.
If the Statesmen win one game at Cleve-
land they viii be content, as Tebeau al
ways did have an easy thing Of it when
he had Wagner's aggregation for his OPP
ponent at home As there are no left-hand
twirlers to face there is some hope that
they Will show a marked Improvement in
their batting. Should they strike their
gait with the stick they Will land more
than one game.
After finishing at Cleveland they Will
invade the AnSonan territory, and the
