the Casino Company.
We hear at intervals Of ..tne man
who broke the bank Of Monte Carlo, :
and more frequently Of unfortunates
whom that institution has broken. Fv-5
erybody is familiar Withfthe fairy Ike
aspect Of the place, through innumaer-
able descriptions, views or stage8pic-
lures. And the realities are tangible
enough, when we read the periodical
reports Of the toy principality eusi-
ness or the pamphlet, lately published
by the Casino company relative to- its
dealings with, the prince Of Monaco.
The prince lives upon the annual sub
sidy he receives from the gaming es-
Establishment, and his principally
tract of less than ten square miles.

What these profits amount to may be

the statement of expenses given in the

expenditure of the principality-apart
from the maintenance of the Casino
which was $4,170,0 000-amounted to
$650000. Of. the latter sum the prince
received s250,000; the courts, police
etc., absorbed 100000; clergy and
schools, $4,000; charities, 100000;
prizes for sports, s55,o00, and the post.

one bottle of Dr.. Ayers Sarsaparilla than

This is but one example of the remedial
value of DR.. Ayers Sarsaparil1a in all
forms of blood disease. There is no other
blood medicine that cures SO promptly,
SO surely and SO thoroughly. After nearly
half a century of test and trial it is the
standard medicine of the world for all
diseases of the blood. Sores, ulcers, boils,
letter, rheumatism, scrofu1a and every
other blood disease is curableb by Dr.. Ayers
Sarsaparilla. The success of this rem edy
has caused many limitations to be put on

that zone bottle of DR.. Ayers Sarsapari1la

HONOR OF OUR FLAG,
1T HAS ALWAYS BEEN GUARDED.
FROM INSULT.
Some War Preparations That Followed
Cases Not Wholly Unlike That of the
Maine John Bun Has Invariably Been
i the Chief Ofender. s ,. b. g.

There are a large number of prece-
dents which might aid in shaping ac-
ton in the Maine case when the facts
are fully established. While none Of
the cases show the fearful loss of life
caused by the Maine explosion, yet
they include many instances in which
the United States had adopted energet-
ic measures to redress the killing OF
American citizens in foreign coun-
tries. In a general way these meth
ods OF redress have included demands
for indemnity, proclamations exclud-
ing war ships of the offending nation
from the United States harbors, dis
play of force, non7intercourse, with
'drawal tof the minister, reprisal and
blockade. Some of these steps bor-
der closely on war, although they are
regarded as movements just prelimin-
!ary to actual hostilities and as
amounting to a threat that force viii
fol1owif reparation is not made.
The case of the Water Witch is con.
ssidered to be the most nearly analo
gous to that of the Maine, should it be
established that the Maine disaster
was not the result of accident. The
Water Witch was a United States shiI
engaged in 1855 in surveying the en-
trance to one of the rivers of Para
quay. Without warning, and by or
ders Of President Lopez, of Paraguay
a force of troops opened fire on tn
Water Witch, killing one man at tn
helm and wounding others. Intens
feeling was aroused in the Unite'
States when the facts became known

Cleanliness begins within. If a man
isn't clean inside, he is far from Godli-
ness. A constipated sinner is a stencil
in the nostrils of the deity. A man
whose food sours in his stomach, and
whose liver is leaden, can't help looking
at the world hatefully with j9.u,ldiced
eye, and conjuring up evil thoughts in
his tortured brain. Cleanliness of person
hegets cleanliness of thought. Cascarets,
candy cathartic is the missionary medi-
cine which purifies mems bodies and
minds. Pure, fragrant, palatable, mild
and positive, they clean out the intestinal
canal, stimulate the liver and strengthen
the bowels. Then a man enjoys again
feeling of charity and brotherly love for
his fellows and recommends others to
take Cascarets and be as happy as he.
Satan cannot down you unless you go
to his assistance.

THE METEORS
WILL FALL.

WILL FALL.
A neteoric display of magnificent
proportions visible in Columbia, is
expected November 18th. and as
tronomers have put those interested
on notice, SO that the dar,ing balls
of fre can be seen and fully appre-
cisfed
The display. which is to be seen
every thirsy.three years, was last seen
Sin 1866, when the ignorant people
thought the stars were falling The
Ineteosic showers always cause great
deal of attention and their appear
ance is always a signal for the ignor-
ant and unknowing classes to expect
judgment
One of the most magnificent show
ers was in 1888, and this display of
meteors caused intense excitement.
The stars began falling in the ever
ing before the people went to bed
and after several million apparent
stars had fallen the people decided
not 10 go 10 bed, as it was generally
believed that the final day was at
hand
But the people have been wrong
in their belief that the stars were
actually falling The meseors are
tiny substances, millions in number
which come from the constellation Of
Leo Why they come has never been
aceriained by those most learned IN
astronomy, but they come without
any apparent reason and they come
at the rate of twenty six miles sec
ond. The world is moving at the
ssase of eighteen miles second and
in an opposite direction TO the me-
teors. which makes the fight of the
meteor more than fifty miles sec.
ond
There are millions of meteors which
we never see as they pass and it is
only those neteors which are barned
by contact with the earth's atmos-
phere that we see TIE meteors we
do not see sweep past the earth and
are gone for thirty three years, re-
turning and crossing the orbit of the
earth on the morning of November
18th
Every body has heard OF the time
-
when the stars fell.
This was in 1883 and it was one oi
the fret showers of meteors which
had seriously attracted attention in
these late days The shower of 1883
was wholly unexpected and even the
astronomers did not know what it
meant
The announcement is made that it
will be possible to photograph the
neseora on the morning of Novem-
Der 18th and will be of interest to
the photographers of this city, and
what is more an exploding meteor
can be photographed with q camera
or kodak
The proper way to make the pho
tograph is to allow your camera TO
follow the stars, getting any meteor
that flashes acrosss the plate, bat this
is impossible where special appara-
sus canLot be be secure and the only
way the average person can do the
work is to point the camera towards
the heavens, leaving the plate ex
posed for about thirty minutes.
Whatever may happen the plate will
tell an interesting story and the ex.
pertinent will be of interest and well
worth the cost of exposure
