THE RUIZ CAsE.-The President yes
terday sent to the Senate report made
by Secretary Olney on the resolution
requesting the correspondence in the
case of DR.. Ricardo Ruiz. The report
suggests the ACCESSIBILITY of supplying
the correspondence at this time, which
suggestion the President endorses, say
ing that it would be incompatible with
the public interest to do so pending the
public and exhaustive investigation
about to be instituted" The President
adds the suggestion "that the consul
general should have professional aid in
such investigation, though that matter,
together with the selection of the par
ticular persons to act with him, proper
ly devolves upon my successor in Of
fce." Instead of transmitting the Of
fetal correspondence, the secretary sup
plies an account of his own compost
ton covering the essential facts in the
case.

A Word 10 Mothers.

Condensed Milk is woll known as food in
tho whole civilized world it is substitute
for fresh cows milk, which cannot always be
had, and cannot be kept in a suitable condi-
ton for long timo. Gale Borden Eagle
Bra I'D Condensed Milk solves the difficult
problem of clearing fresh COWS milk of all its
component parts which are detriment to
health. Tho complete sterilization Of lhe
milk, including the condcnsing process, the
full use Of all the tst and cream it contains,
aud finally the addition of sugar in about tho
same proportion contained in normal mothers
milk, has secured position for Borden'a
preparation for the feeding of the babies
which cannot be claimed by any other.
Mothers who are unable or do not want 10
nurse their children. will find in Borden's
Condensed Milk substitute for mothers
milk. There are millions of children who
owe their life and health to Bordcn's milk.
1t supplies the place of fresh cream when
used with coffee, tea or chocolate. 1t excels
even the best cream from the healthiest cows,
and is of the most unsurpassing purity, con-
tanning hyeienic ingredients not existing in
cream. The attention of those who wish to
inform themselves about Gail Borden Eagle
Brand Condensed Milk and its uso for infants,
is called to valuable pamphlet entitled
"Babies," which will be mailed on application.

CHEAP EGGS FOR LENT.-Eggs in the
Baltimore wholesale market have de.
clined quite sharply within the past
week. Last Wednesday they were
quoted at 16 cents per dozen and yes

of Lent, when an increased demand and
some advance is usually looked for,
they will probably be one or two cents
lower. Heavy receipts and light de-
mand account for the decline. There
has also been a break in the New York
market from the same causes.-Balto.
