THERE'S more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed 10 be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
by local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven catarrh to be n
constitutional disease and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J..
Cheney g. Co., Toledo Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally i'll doses from ten drops
to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the

49, With Senator Mnrnhy

y
New York, Aug. 7.-Senator A.. p.
he will remain for several weeks. He
was at the Fifth Avenue Hotel this
morning, and Kept himself to his rooms
until noon, when he slipped out of u side
door and went down town.
To friend who talked witch Senator
German late last night he conveyed the
information that the talk of his probable
retirement from politics was all imagi
nary. If his health permits and the leg.
islature of Maryland elected this fall is
Democratic, he will be candidate for re-
election. This friend said: n
SENATOR German, through the kindly
intercession of a friend, is now in posi-
tion to follow the shaping of political
affairs in Maryland after the coming cleo
ton. In case the Republicans carry the
legislature and the Senator's return is
thereby made impossible, he can fall back
upon the statement Of the close personal
friend that he is out of politics. If, on the
other hand, it should happen to be Demo
cratic, the statements of this close per-
sonal friend can easily be repudiated,
and the Senator can gracefully make his
fight for n re- election. The Legislature
of Maryland is now Republican, but
what 1t will be after the election this fall
is problematical."
Senator German is not in the best Of
health. The operation which was per-
formed upon him some time ago has not
left him in that buoyant and cheerful
condition which he has experienced
throughout the most of his public career
He is going to Saratoga to drink the wa
tiers and to talk politics with Senator
Murphy.

He HAS MOVED.


Gradually Acquiring Information Conssrn-
ine Methods Of Collecting Bill.
"when we moved into the country"
said Mr.. Changoofair, II almost won
dered at the absolute confidence d the
boss Of the moving party. It was . long
haul, two or three vans, and the bill q
matter Of $40 or $50. but they moved
everything out Of the vans into the house
clean before the boss driver presented
the bill wondered what they would
do IL somebody should say then that he
would call ut the Office and settle or
something Of that sort. But then, !
knew / was going to pay; that 1t had
been perfectly safe to get the stun in
and collect the bill afterward Of me. md
I made up my mind that they re
keen men, who knew people when ey
met them, whom they could trust and
whom not
"Well, after some years we moved
back. Same concern moved Us In, but
they didn know us at the Office any
more than il they had never heard OF
us. Arrived in the city, the men with
the vans-it was q different crew from
that that took us out-began Juggling in
the things just as the men that moved
us out had done in the country. Nobody
said anything about pay. and wondered
again what would happen II they got
the stuff all in and then the owner
didn't pay. But they kept on hustling
the things in just as II they felt perfectly
easy and secure about that.
AFTER awhile the stuff was pretty
much all in-practically all but the
piano-and wondered why they hadn'i
brought that in before, because / had
seen il loaded, and knew IL was one OF
the last things loaded ON at the very
rear end Of one Of the vans So went
out to see. and there was the piano,
right where had seen it when II was
put aboard, at the extreme rear end OF
the van, while all the stuff in front had
been taken out, carried around the end
of the piano and ON into the house. In
front Of il the van was empty.
Passing through the hall, met the
bead driver, the boss Of the party. and
he, Just casually meeting me in that
way in the hall, handed over the bill fol
the moving, and l paid it on the spot.
Then. everything else having been
moved in. the whole gang Tailed on Y
the piano and walked it right into the
house.
"Of course it may have only just hap
pened that the piano wasn't moved II
until had paid the bill. but this didn'
give me quite such fiattering opinion
Of myself us the other way had, but Il
more than confirmed my original opin
ion Of the shrewdness and ability Of thu
van folks. They made few mistakes ant
cook even fewer risks. New Yori

HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION.
The Employment OF Free Labor Gives the
Best Results.


The Employment Of Free Labor Gives the
Best Results.
Commepting on the employment OF
oonvicts on the public highways, the
New Orleans Times. Democrat points
out that the best results have been OBJ
tanned in road building when the best
free labor only has been employed. IL
says:
Road construction is science re-
quiripg more careful study OF the sub
ject than is generally imagined. The
prevalent idea that any one can build
good road will not hold good. The
matter requires study. care and thor
ouah know ledge of the soil and country
through which the road is TO be built.
The department Of agriculture has late,
" been doing good work by laying be-
fore the people exactly what Is neces'
sary in road construction.
The employment Of convicts in road
construction is very popular just now,
as Offering simultaneously u solution OF
the two troublesome problems Of what
to do with our prison population and
how to improve our highways. In view
Of the fact that the convicts in New
York, Indiana and other states are kept
idle, as the law makes 10 provision fol
their support, it is we'll that Louisiana
should take some steps 10 utilize herr
when il has them OH its hands, and
road construction seems an ideal EN-
ployment for them.
On the other hand, the experience OF
those states which have been most sue
cessful with their roads il that only
the best labor (and convict labor is moi
the best) should be employed in theil
construction and maintenance. No state
which has made any material improve
ment with it's highways has employed
convict labor, aud no state which ha,
employed that kind of labor has secured
much imprc 7ement in its roads. The
best results have been accomplished by
road taxes and the giving out OF con
tracts.
