show man the way to a long and healthy
life
Common sense teaches that man should
not over work or over-worry; that he should
take ample time for his meals for resting
and for recreation and sleep; that he should
not neglect the little ills Of life, because
they are the precursors of serious and fatal
maladies Chemistry has enabled men to
make combinations of drugs that were i'm
possible in the days Of the alchemists.
Medical science has taught when, how and
why these combinations of drugs should
be used. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is the most valuable Of all health
restoring medicines, and the most effective.
It's first work is upon the fountain head of
life-the stomach. man who has a weak
and impaired stomach and who does not
properly digest his food will soon find that
his blood has become weak and impover-
ished, and that his whole body is improp-
erly and insufficiently nourished. This
medicine makes the stomach strong, facil-
itates the flow of digestive juices, restores
the lost appetite makes assimilation per
feet invigorates the liver and purifes and
enriches the blood II is the great blood
maker, flesh builder and nerve tonic. II
makes men strong in body, active il mind
and cool in judgment.
1t does not make flabby fat but solid,
muscular flesh, nerve force and vital en-
ergy. All medicine dealers sell 1t.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 12-Gen. Garcia,
who got angry because this city after its
surrender was not turned over to the
Cubans. severed all relations with the
United States army and withdrew his
troops indicates a desire TO reconsider
his action in d letter that was received
yesterday by Gen. Shafter
The letter is dated at Gibara, August 5
1t is in response to a request made by
Gen. Miles, July ls. when he was plan
ming his expedition TO Porto Rico, that
Gen Garcia detail fifty Cubans TO ac-
company the expedition as guides and
scouts.
In his reply Gen. Garcia said that as
he understood Gen. Miles had already
sailed. he supposed it would be too late
to comply with the request He stated,
however, that he was willing TO furnish
the fifty men if they were still wanted,
and inclosed an order for them.
A Cuban courier who arrived today from
Manzanillo states that Gen. Rabi with
5.O09 Cubans, is still before that town.

PURCELL ENVELOPE CASE.
Injunction Against Postmaster Gen
eraI Smith Is Denied.

Injunction Against Postmaster Cen
eraI Smith Is Denied.
Mr.. Justice Cole, of the Supreme Court
of the District. yesterday denied the in
junction asked for by the Purcell Envel-
ope Company of Holyoke Mass. to COM
pei Charles Emory Smith in his official
capacity as postmaster general of the
United States to carry out the terms OF
a contract made with the company by
Postmaster General Gary for furnishing
the postoffice department with stamped
envelopes and paper wrappers for term
of four years. beginning October /, 1898.
The court was also asked TO restrain
Postmaster General Smith from letting
the contract for furnishing the envelopes
and wrappers needed by the Postoffice
Department to any other persons.
The court, after reviewing the facts in
the case at length, denied the petition
asking for injunction on the ground that,
although the contract between the par
ties is valid and of full force. the Pur-
cell Envelope Company has adequate
remedy in the Court of Claims for dam
ages.
The facts in the case in brief are:
While Postmaster General James A. Gary
was in office he made contract with the
Purcell Envelope Company for furnish
ing the Postoffice Department with stamp
ed envelopes and paper wrappers for a
term of four years beginning October 1.
1898. The contract was duly signed and
the envelope company gave bond for its
faithful performance in the sum of 5000, GOO,
and also went TO the expense of erecting
a costly plant to execute the work re-
quired
When Mr. Smith succeeded Mr. Gary as
Postmaster General he notified the envel-
ope company of his intention to annul the
contract between it and the Postoffice
Department. alleging that upon investi-
cation he did not believe it capable of
performing its contract. and as result
of this the Government would be placed
in very embarrassing position.
1t has been agreed between counsel that
the rule issued by Justice Cole be made
final SO that the case may be taken i'm
mediately to the Court of Appeals of the
District of Columbia.
