on fire and killing all Spaniards, but
the archbishop overruled him.

Aguinaldo, but the plot vas abortive.

We had quite a pleasant trip across the
continent. The morning we reached St.

and made good use OF the time looking
around the Twin Cities.'' Were very
much pleased with them. The popula-

frozen so thick that wagons loaded with

The ride across the prairie country of
North Dakota WAS quite tedious. although
we struck it rich in the way OF sleep
ing car from st. Paul. They take an eX-
ira sleeping car ON ct st. Paul and haul
it about SEQ miles to meet another train
going east. We were in the crowded
smoking car where the stencil of smoke
and conglomeration of other things
was something fearful, 50 we concluded
to try to better our condition and went
back to see the conductor of the extra
sleeper. We made a 'mash" on him and

we went at it in great style.
We reached the summit of the Rockies
ut sunrise and the scenery was grand on
account of the vast proportions, but not
near so pretty rs that of the Cascade
Range. The scenery in these latter
mountains would beggar description

deep on q level aud in may places was

feet, and it WAS necessary for the rotary
steam shovel to go ahead of us and clear
the track.
You can imagine what n traDsforma-

tiguous to the Puget Sound, where the
roses were in bloom and everything took

In these days of enforced economy, 1t
should he q pleasure to any woman to
learn how she can save the cost of a new
gown for herself and suit for the lirtle
one, or can INT Ike her husbands faded
clothing look like new. Diam ond Dyes,
which are prepared especially for home
use, will do all this. They are so simple
and easy to use that even a child can get
bright and beautiful colors by following
the directions on each package.
There is no need Of soiling the hands
with Diamond Dyes; Gust lift and stir the
goods with two sticks while in the dye
bath, and one will not get any stains or
spots.
In coloring dresses, coats, and all the
large articles, to get IL full and satisfactory
color, it is absolutely necessary to have
a special dye for cotton goods and n
different dye fer wooden goods This is
done in Diamond Dyes, and before puy
ing dyes, one should know whether the
article to he colored is cotton or wool,
and get the proper dye. Do not buy dyes
that claim to color everything, for their
use will result in failure.

Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1898-04-03

referring TO the report of April Z,
1881, L have the honor TO send herewith
a translation of an article which re-
Gently appeared in one of the commercial
newspapers Of this city. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that such articles appear in the
newspapers, as they undoubtedly create
prejudice against American articles of
food in general.
In Connection herewith / beg to men,
elon that the Swedish Government has
recently passed law relating to COM
pulsory examination, by veterinary sur
geons, of animals and meat intended for
expectation, and prescribing that no
meat or beef shall be allowed to be ex-
ported unless it is accompanied by a GER
tificate from duly-apponted veterinary
surgeon, to the effect that the meat in
question is in good condition and from
animals free from disease.
