THE "OLD HOSS SALE"
\ Negro Bought Fine Gold Watch
For One Cent.


For One Cent.
There was lots of fun but little money
in the ''Old Hoss Sale" yesterday.
About 320 unclaimed express packages
were sold for S55. Most of them con-
tanned patent medicine-but there were
others. All went. and at prices ranging
from one cent to 81 per package.
One of the one-cent packages con-
tanned gold plated watch with good
movement in il. The 81 package was
very lrage one, but in it was nothing but
advertising paper for a show that failed
to come.
One box was filed with cake and other
eatables, mixed up with collars, socks
and other wearing apparel.
But everybody was in good humor and
those that did not get the worth of their
money in goods got it in fun. Long
live the 'Old Hoss Sale"

Ayers
cure

better known as Ayers Cherry Pee
toral, has made a record for its
remarkable cures of asthma. Cases
that have been considered beyond
hope or help have been cured by
this remedy. We give two examples
of such cures out of the many on
record
"My mother has been great sufferer
from asthma for the past ten years, and her
recovery is almost without parallel. On
account of her advanced age-over seventy
we had but little hopes Of ever seeing her
well again but we are sincerely grateful to
inform you that she has been entirely cured
by the use of Ayers Cherry Pectoral."
INGLIS BANKS, Tar Brook, Ms.
II was ssferer for a long time from
asthma, vainly endeavoring to procure relief

was induced to try bottle of Ayers Cherry

much benefit that continued the use of the
remedy until entirely cured"

Relative of tne Departed Emperor
Scores Politicians.

| Cincinnati, Dec 1S-At the session of
| the National Civil Service League Hen
! " Hitchcock, OF st: Louis, read pa
! per on The Republican party and civ
| il service reform" The purpose of this
paper was to demonstrate the relation
of the Republican party to civil service
| reform, by setting forth the principles
! and policy to which the Republican
| party stands publicly pledged by it's
history and by the declared official rep
| resentatiVes of the party in their plat
form of it's national convention.
The record speaks for itself The
American people who in 1896 accepted
the pledges of that party, will sit in
judgment upon its fulfillment, or the
betrayal of their trust"
Charles J. Bonaparte, of Baltimore,
read a report fully prepared, on the
subject, The American people want
civil service reform
Mr. Bonaparte took for his text a
letter recently written by Mr.. j. L.
Kennedy of the Anti-Civil Service
League, to President Mckinley, in
which he recited the defeat of the pro-
posed civil service amendment to the
state institution in Maryland as an ad-
vantage, that the people were opposed
ment. Mr.. Kennedy in this letter said
the proposed constitutional amendment
in Maryland was patterned after the
national civil service committee.
Mr. Kennedy also cited the fact that
this defeat was in spite of strong civ
il service reform organization in Balti-
more OF WnlCn CnaTleS d BOHdpdIl6
was the leading spirit
To this Mr.. Bonaparte replies in his
paper thus: THE suggested amend
ment did not propose to erect civil
service establishment, patterned after
the national civil service commission, or
to erect q state civil service establish
Inent of any kind-the bill which I and

pass as an amendment to be voted on,
they refused to make a law and did
everything in my power to prevent the
enactment of the measure actually

Il voted on this measure with an
overwhelming majority of the people
of Maryland"
Referring to the statement that the
Civil Service Reform League of Balti-
more was weak among the people, Mr.
BOnaparte said: 1T has been demon
strated everywhere again and again
that with the people the advocates of
good government are strong; that with
politicians, whether in or out of Office,
only because the practical and thorough
going application of their principles to
the conduct of public business would
oblige our professional Office holders
and office seekers of high and low de-
gree to Starve or change their calling;
in truth an American politician of today
lives in so dense and unwholeSome
moral atmosphere. his views on all
questions of conscience or honor are so
false and distorted that he can hardly
conceive of a party with other ends

CONGRESS MAKES HIM RICH
Representative Richardson Will Be
come Millionaire by Reason OF
Reckless Legislation.
New York. Dec 18.-A dispatch from

New York, Dec 1S-A dispatch from
Washington says:
Representative James D. Richard
son of Tennessee stands to become a
multi millionaire as the result of un-
guarded legislation slipped through
congress in an appropriation bill dur
ing the closing hours of the last regu-
lar session.
The Fifty-third congress authorized
the house committee on printing to
compile and publish the messages and
papers of the presidents from Wash
ington down to the present time"
The total edition was originally cal
culated at 20, 900 and estimated to com
prise four volumes, but later edition
was increased to SO, ZOO and the limit of
volumes placed at eleven. In the sun
dry civil service appropriation bill
rushed through in the last hours of the
F'ifty-fourth congress, in the next to
the last paragraph and preceded by a
page of legitimate legislation, occurs
this sentence:
THAT the public printer be, and he is
hereby authorized and directed to
make and deliver to James D Richard
son. the compiler of Messages and Pa
pers of the Presidents without cost to
him duplicate electrOtype plates from
which the compilation Messages and
Papers of the Presidents was publish
ed"
Mr.. Richardson has closed a contract
with a New York firm to publish his
compilation on a royalty Of 81 per vol
ume.
This means that Mr.. Richardson will
receive for himself S11 for each set sold
of his compilation in excess of the So
600 sets authorized for the use of con-
gress
1t is estimated that during the next
20 years there will be sold by the firm
securing these plates at the lowest
ga lc11IatfOn 500 900 sets.
