COMPLETELY DISCOURAGED.
Are Thousands of People Who Have
Chronic Cntarrh.

As a result of our chengeable climate
catarrh has become one of the most preva
lent and universal diseases known to man.
States are afflicted with catarrh in some of
its many phases or stages. Add to this fact
that catarrh rapidly tends to become fixed
or chronic; also the further fact that it is
capable of producing great many other
diseases, and we begin to realize the true
nature Of this dread disease. So formidable
has catarrh become that in every city or
town of any size numerous doctors are to be
found whL make the treatment of catarrh
a speciality. Mr.. Ralph w. Chulip, La Porte,

four days longer under fire, aiding in car

attending them in hospitals. One hundred
and twenty more sacks of mail from the
United States were delivered at Siboney
on the 9Th Of July, and four clerks arrived
10 reinforce the slender postal force.
which in the meantime had been aug
mented by details of enlisted men from
the army, and of this force Mr.. kempner
took charge. When the yellow fever IN
fected buildings at Siboney were ordered
burned by the military authorities. every
piece Of mail matter was saved. although
the postal employees had TO submit 10 the
destruction OF their own clothing and

Upon the surrender OF Santiago the
Spanish postoffice in that city was taken

agent. The services of the Spanish di-
rector (who carried a modest pay roll
of nearly $1,000 per annum) and OF ten
OF his clerks were dispensed with and
the office was put upon a United States
footing. During all this time. Mr.. Kemp
ner shows much embarrassment was felt.
and many complaints arose, by reason
OF the irregular;ty OF mail communion
ton with the United States. This. how
ever, was unavoidable under the circum-
stances. The postoffice had no authority

the transmission of mails were such as
were afforded at irregular intervals by

considerations than those pertaining 10

Mr. Kempner states that during the
whole period that the Fifth army corps
remained at Santiago, the mails from the
United States (where they numbered less
than 30 sacks) were always ready for dis
tribution within few hours of their re-
ceipt in the Santiago office.
Much misinformation as TO vast quanti
ties of mail lying there undelivercd. he
suggests, may have arisen from the fact
that the emptied mail pouches were not
returned to the United States, for fear
of spreading infection. but were thrust
into larger sacks and piled up in a corner
of the office. thus presenting the appear
ance to an outside observer OF full mail
sacks undelivered, when, in point OF fact,
they were simply emptied and discharged

the addition Of artistic music a most er-

secure seats. Il is seldom that any d,2-
matte company carries two distinct sets
of musicians. The band. which gives a
laughabie burlesque street parade is a de-
cided novelty. and is carried~for the sole
purpose of creating a STIR among lovers of
