Carlsbad Water
a Natural Alternative

Carlsbad Water is in no sense
mere purgative, as most people
believe, but is an Alternative and
eliminative remedy, which dis
solves tenacious bile, allays irrita-
ton and removes obstruction by
aiding nature, and not by sudden
and excessive stimulation, as most
cathartic remedies do. It's action
is certain and a cure when effected
is permanent. Not infrequently
patients have to use the Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt, in addition to the
water, as a laxative.
Beware of limitations. The gen
uine Carlsbad Water and Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt must have the seal
of the City of Carlsbad and the
signature of "Eisner & Mendelson
Co., sole agents, New York" on
every label.

uxRRIpGE.

UXbridge, March 15.-Representativ tive
Arthur R. Taft telephoned to town this
afternoon about O'Clock that the joint
standing committee of the legislature
had reported favorably the bill grant
ing an extension of two years time in
which the town of Uxbridge may accept
the act authorizing it to take Mendon
pond as a water supply. Since the COM
mittee visited the town last Friday and
looked over the various sources for a
supply, including Croney brook, Mendon
pond and Cold Springs, it has been the
general opinion that the committee
would report in favor of an extension OF
time. The original act was passed three
years ago this month, and the town has
held eight meetings, but at no time have
those who favor it been able to get the
two-thirds vote necessary for it's ac-
ceptance.

MILD CENSURE.
War Preparations Held Unfav-
orable to Autonomists.
Spanish Cabinet Thinks the United
States Should Show Friendliness by
Deeds Instead of Words.

Washington. March ia statement
which is believed to reflect correctly the
sentiment of the Spanish cabinet in the
present emergency, was made today by
gentleman intimately associated with
Premier Sagasta and Senior Moret. min
lister Of the colonies in the Spanish cab
met. The statement is as follows:
1.-The elections in Cuba are about to
occur and the government desires them
to be as free as possible. Naturally,
however, the insuTection will prevent
many from voting and it is felt also that
renewed insurgent activity coming at
such a moment might jeopardize the
successful working out of the autono-
mist plan. Moreover the attitude of the
United States In having a squadron so
near Cuba, and the active war prepara-
tons in the United States are of a ma
ture that may exert an influence against
a fair expression of public will under
the autonomist plan. 1t is thought that
If the United States were sincere in its
expressions of friendship to Spain, even
If 1t thought that autonomy could not
meet every expectation 1t should by
friendly acts and not words show this
augurated in Cuba. If the Washington
government made known indirectly to
the insurgents that 1t meant to have
peace in Cuba, and that peace in Cuba
might be had with an autonomio gov
eminent under Spain, the instruction
would die out If later the Weyler party
wanted to interfere, 1t would be time
then for the United States to take ac-
ton. That action would be then justi-
fable. To make war on Spain now
would be crime, and for that crime to
civilization and humanity the United
States would be responsible"
The foregoing statement was called to
the attention of Senior Polo Y Bernabe,
the Spanish minister, and his views on
it were requested, but he maintained
diplomatic reserve. After reading it care
fully he said it appeared to be given
out by one thoroughly conversant with
the situation. This afternoon the Span
ish minister called at the state Depart
ment, and had two hours conference
with Assistant Secretary Day 1t was
the first call Of Senior Polo purely for
business purposes. The minister came
away looking highly gratified but he
asked to be excused from discussing the
purpose of his call.

AN OUTSIDER INTERPRETED.
But Mr.. Hdreth Knew How to Manage
His Horse.

While Charles II. Hildreth, the well
known horseman, was driving a spirited
horse up Main street, Tuesday, the horse
became frightened at an electric car and
tried to break away. Mr.. Hildreth turned
the animal up Pearl street to avoid the
cars. The prancing of the horse drew a
crowd, and one of the spectators, thinking
that assistance was needed, ran out and
seized the horse by the bride, but he
quickly realized that his help was unnec-
essary and let go. Mr.. Hildreth drove the
horse up Pearl street short distance, and,
coming back, made some observations to
his volunteer assistant that We're more re-
markabae for emphasis than gratitude He
then guided the animal down Main street
between the teams and electrics in a man
ner that showed that he was perfect mas
ter Of the situation.
