Catarrh Can be Cured

By eradicating from the blood the
scrofulous taints which cause it Hood 8
Sarsaparilla cures catarrh, promptly
and perms nently, because 1t strikes at
the root of the trouble.
The rich, pure blood which it makes,
circulating through the delicate pas
sages of the mucous membrane, soothes
and rebullds the tissues, gives them q
tendency to health instead of disease,
and ultimately curing the affection.
AT the same time Hoods Sarsaparilla
strengthens, invigorates and energies
the whole system and makes the debil-
itated victim of catarrh feel that new
life has been impaired.
Do not daily with suuffs, inhalants
or other local applications, but take
Hoods Ssrsaparilla and cure catarrh
absolutely and surely by removing the
causes which produce it.

CORDIAL FEELING IN CANADA.
CHEERING WORDS FROM OUR
NEIGHBORS ON THE NORTH.

An Anti-Amcrican Speech in ParIta-
ment Call Forth Cries of Dissent.
Premier Laurier warmly Replies,
Expressing Sympathy With the
United States as Against Spain.
Sir Charles upper Speaks in Sim
liar Vein.
Ottawa, Ont, May 19.-In the House of
Commons Hon. Mr.. McCleary, a represen-
tative of one of the border constituencies
in discussing the American alien labor
law and the manner in which it had been
enforced against Canada, incidentally re-
ferred to the Spansh-American war, say
ing that while all parties in Canada would
pray that the American people would come
out victorious still there were not a few
who would like to see the United States
get "a bit of a spanking" because of its
unfriendly treatment of Canadians. Cries
of NO! Nor arose from all parts of the
House.
Premier Laurier rising, evidently with
some warmth, said: Il sincerely hope my
honorable friend, who has just taken his
seat, In his utterances which at the mo-
ment called forth expressions of dissent,
speaks his own personal feeling and not
the feeling of his party. I would rather
hope that upon the present occasion,
though we are bound to be neutral in the
present difficulties between the United
States and Spain, 1 should like to believe
if there is a feeling apart from our duty
as neutrals it is a feeling of sympathy
for those who are our neighbors and who
share the continent with US"
Sir Charles Topper, opposition leader,
expressed entire acquiescence in what the
premier had said and concluded his speech
by saying: while we are bound to re-
spect that complete neutrality that has
been proclaimed by the parent state in re-
gard 10 the war between the United States
and Spain, nevertheless we cannot forget
that the people of Canada and of Great
Britain are one branch of the great Eng
lish speaking people and that the interest
of civilization and of the world would be
promoted by the most cordial cooperation
between the two great branch nations"

Key West, May l9-The Spanish loss
during the recent engagement at Cienfue-
Sos is now known to have been much heav-
Ter than at first reported.
Three hundred spaniards were killed
and several hundred wounded. Great dam
age was done along the coast.
Soon after the engagement the United

eral Cubans in an open boat several miles
down the coast, including Col Oriz Lieut.
Alvarez and three privates from the in
surgent camp near Cienfuegos.
They reported that the Spanish losses
and the damage wrought by the shells
of the warship were very heavy.
The hospitals at Cienfuegos, they say,
were fun of wounded and fear prevailed
everywhere that the American warships
would return to complete the work of de-
struction.
During the engagement, the Marblehead
threw $50 5-inch shells into the Spanish
forces, and 700 shots from her secondary
battery The gunboat Nashville, as many
more shells and $500 shots from her sec
ondary pottery.
Fifteen hundred Spaniards were station

There is no more famous poem in the
English language than Edgar Allen Poes
THE Bells" II Is among the unique
things in literature. 1t was first published
IN Sartaln's Magazine. The son of the Cd
itor tells a most interesting auecdote Of
how his father secured the poem. Poe
came into the Office one day, and, handing
father stanza in manuscript, asked him
what he thought of IT, Father looked il
over and said he thought it pretty good.
Is il worth $5? asked Poe. Father said
he thought It was, and paid him the
money. The poem was the first stanza
OF THE Bells" A week or so later Poe
again stumbled into the Office, with the
remark: "Well, John, l see you haven't
printed my poem YET Father said he
had not because Of lack of space. well,
I've got another stanza here. Wtl you
let me have a five on it2' The man
looked so utterly wretched that father
paid him the money and took the stanza.
sin another installment OF two addi-
tional stanzas followed within month,
and then II was that the poem was first
nubllshed."
