Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more
generally needed, when the languid
exhausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of a tonic and alternative is felt.
A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and free.

THE WEEkLYHERALD.
MIR. HAWKINS RETIRES.

In ending my connection with the
HERALD 1 desire to express regret
that considerations entirely outside OF
business matters called for my removal
10 the Pacific coast at the beginning OF
what is destined to be more prosper
GUS era for Ell Paso. While the COM
pany owning the HERALD property was
willing to have the lease continued,
and while 1 decided it best to remove,
this was not because of lack of satisfac-
tioa with the business Of the paper,
which is in very satisfactory condition.
The HERALD'S subscription lists have
grown considerably during the past
year, its advertising has increased, its
credit has been maintained and it has
remained faithful and honest in work
ing for the people as against cliques,
as it did before my connection and as it
will, no doubt, under direction OF it's
owners. In taking leave of the local
I'D, desire to say that have found
representations made to me year
by the HERALD owners true in
~ particular and their business re-
9us-with me have been marked by
csration and justice.

step In the right direction. 1t has it's
lesson for our Washington schools.
While we build structures that are
pleasing from an architectural point OF
view and modern in their hygienic de-
vices, we are apt to give too little at
tention to the attractions of the school
room itself Bare walls, save where
the forbidding blackboard is hung, are
the boundaries of the pupils vision, no
thought being given to the best method

NEW YORK, Oct 2S-Stripes are to

skirt This does not mean that they
are to be in convict fashion, either
round about or perpendicular, but that
they will be utilized to bring about all
sorts of charming effects. Indeed, the
costumes so far constructed on this
idea have given some Of the most fetch

The style most favored consists in
making the skirt with a bias seam
down the center of the front, the
stripes forming VS. In order to Sc
cure a contrast, the stripes at the back
run very nearly straight round. This

CURRENCY REFORM.
President Mo Kinley Determined to
 Secure Legislation.
THE BILL PASSED BY THE HOUSE IS DEAD.
The Administration Will, However, De- wise Plan During the Recess and Present it to Congress at
 the December Session.

CHICAGO, July 29.-A special to the Times Herald from Washington says:
 President Mckinley is determined to secure currency reform legislation. To this end he will have the active coop eration of Secretary Gage.
 The currency commission bill passed by the house of representatives on the last day of the extra session is dead, and it is not probable that the presi- dent will revive the project of having monetary reform framed and recom- mended by a commission. It is now plan ned that an administration plan shall be formulated during the summer and autumn and submitted to congress when it convenes in December. Secre- tary Gage has given great deal of at tention to the currency question, both before and since he has been at the head of the treasury department. He is now preparing to go into the matter very thoroughly, and will consult freely persons whose advice will be of value. By the time he submits his first annual report to congress, next Decem- Der, he will in all probability have a plan 1OTluldIeu, WHICH may Dt suD- mitted as the administration scheme of currency reform.
 It is too early yet to give any details of the plan which Secretary Gage may submit to congress. Much may depend on the result of the consultations which he will have during the summer and fall and the features which he might at this time regard as desirable may be abandoned or modified to meet the views of persons who will have to be consulted if anything practical is at tempted.
 That part of the plan dealing with the banking system will aim to provide a safe and elastic bank currency, and it may embrace some of the features of the Canadian system, or what is known as the Baltimore plan, which was so generally recommended by bankers when it was devised. It is expected some provision will also be framed to prevent the use of greenbacks as an endless chain for the depletion of the gold reserve.
