No Humbug.

Foley's Honey and Tar does not
claim to perform miracles. 1t does
not claim TO cure all cases Of con-
sumption or asthma, but it does
claim to give comfort and relief in
advanced stages of these diseases
and to usually cure early stages. 1t
is certainly worth trying by those
afflicted or threatened with those
dreaded diseases. W. A. Hamler

Pope Leo has revoked the ponti-
feel decree which prevented mem
bers of the Catholic church from
joining the Masonic order. Priests
will hereafter beallowed to officiate
at the burial of Mason who has
expressed his willingness to become
reconciled to his former faith" and
the body of such person may be
inferred in conSeCrated ground.
There has been the bitterest warfare
between the pope and the Masonic
order for many years, and the action
of the head of the Catholic church
in taking step toward reconcilia-
ton will meet theapproval of thou
compelled to abandon Masonry in
church. The concession applies
only to the Masonry found in Amer
lea and England. The pope main
tains that the order in other coun-
tries is against the interests of the
church.

ILLNESS OF SECRETARY ALGER.
II Was Low Fever That Lasted a Month
but has Now Disappeared.

washington, Jan. IL. - Alarming
stories sent throughout the west rela-
tive to the condition of Secretary Alger
have caused the Issue of a formal state
ment from Assistant Secretary Meikel-
john. after consultation with Captain
Woods. the army surgeon who has been
attending the secretary during his ILL.,
ness, which has now lasted about a
month. 1t is said that the secretary
was attacked by the grip, and this left
in its wake a low type of fever. not
typhoid. as has been reported. which
weakened the patient considerably.
The persistency of Secretary Alger in
keeping At work. even while confined to
his room. undoubtedly retarded his re-
covery very much. But he was finally
induced to give up the attempt to look
after the department business until he
was able to get about again. 1t is said
that yesterday morning the fever had
completely disappeared and that the
secretary was stronger.
