Those who get a start on the dis
ease before the cold and disagree
able weather a~ggravates it, will
find a cure less difficult. Catarrh
increases in severity year by year,
and becomes one of the most OBJ
stinate and deep-seated troubles.
But it is equally important that
the right remedy be given. All
local applications of sprays,

The most offensive of all dis
eases becomes more intonse as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for so long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their Catarrh grows In severity.
Those who have felt only a slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de-
velop the disease. What appears
to be only a bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.

THE RUMoRs OF VAR

AS the century nears it's end the
earth is filled with rumors of war and
at times it seems that only a spark is
needed to set the whole world aflame.
The nations bristle with weapons, and
occasionally hey bristle with pugnac-
ity. But after all the tendency appears
to be in the direction of preparation
for peace rather than for war. The
powers equip themselves to fight most
efficiently in order that they may not
have to fight But it is not very en-
couraging that the progress of civiliza-
ton is evenly accompanied by progress
in the invention and the construction
of weapons powerful to damage and
kill. The time seems to be far distant
when the bugles will Sound the Truce
of God to the whole world forever u
But it cannot be doubted that peace
with honor is already better than war
and perhaps by and by honor may be
content with something less than
bloody sacrifice and the other woes OF
war. Then it may be considered as
sweet and fitting to live well for ones
country as it has been to die well in
battle for it.

SCORE ONE For THE DOG,

Dogs and those who like or "love''
them have reason to rejoice over a de-
cision of the Appellate Division of the
Supreme Court of the State Of New
York. Under law enacted by the leg
islature at Albany in 1896 owners OF
dogs in cities were required to take out
a license for each dog, the fee of 81 be-
ing payable to local societies for the
prevention Of cruelty to animals. In
default of this fee these local societies
were empowered to seize any unlicens-
ed dogs which, if not redeemed by the
payment of 50 within forty-eight hours
were then to be killed or otherwise dis
posed of, as the captors saw fit. Mr..
Frederick Fox of Albany, who owned
four dogs, refused to take out the pre-
scribed licenses and was notified that
unless he did so his animals would be

taken in charge by the Mohawk and
Hudson River Humane Society. Mr..
Fox thereupon applied for an injunc-
ton to restrain the society from selling
his dogs, and on that issue the case
was carried up to the Appellate Divi-
sion, where it has just been finally ad-
Indicated. Mr. Foxs contention has
been sustained, the court holding that
the purpose of the Mohawk and Hud-
son River Humane Society aimed at a
virtual confscation of property. The
position of the court with regard to
the following extract from it's formal
decree: Under the act of 1896 no dog
in the city of Albany has prima facie
right to live unless it wears the tag OF
the defendant. No person has the right
to own or harbor a dog, except when
licensed by the defendant. BY paying
defendant 81 a person can get license
for his dog, however mad, vicious or
diseased it may be. If he does not
choose to pay the defendant can con-
fiscate the dog, unless redeemed within
forty-eight hours by paying 81. The
defendant need not kill the dogs it con-
fiscates, but may sell them, and the de-
PENDANT can manage it's business upon
a basis the most thrifty for itself, thus
placing the public service at the mercy
of corporate interests.
So the fact that societies for the pre-
vention of cruelty to animals are incor-
porated bodies gives them no right to
appropriate the property of citizens
without legal process.

FOR PEACE WITH HONOR.

Those who have been expecting that
the next breeze from the South would
bring to their ears the clash of re-
sounding arms, and who have been
listening hard for the sound of the
clash can now take needed rest. It
is evident that there will be no clash
soon, and unless there is an accident
or "slop-over' there will not be one
later. The President and the Spanish
government are both working for peace
with honor, and though their ideas of
peace with honor may differ it is prob
able that they can find a meeting place
If they are not too savagely driven by
popular clanor and "the war party
1t is to be hoped that they will not be,
and it is especially to be hoped that
the hot-heads in congress will not let
themselves loose at this critical time.
The President has so far managed the
very difficult matter with surprising
skill. 1t is safe and wise to continue
to trust him and let him alone. If he
needs help he will ask for it and he
will get it. Until he does the people
and congress cannot do better than to
be as quiet as possible. The President
has well-defined policy and judging
from what is known of it it is sound
and reasonable 1t has certainly
worked well so far, and it should not
be obstructed now.

TIL E MAINE.

The report Of the court of inquiry
concerning the destruction of the Maine
has not added much to the popular ex-
citement. Such report made a month
ago would perhaps have kindled a fire
which could not have been quenched.
But the necessary delay and the over
shadowing Importance of the Cuban
question have somewhat modified the
popular feeling concerning the Maine
disaster. The court finds that the
Maine was blown up from the outside,
but does not fix the responsibility.
Perhaps it will never be fixed. The
Presidents message to congress con-
corning the courts finding was brief.
In conclusion he said: 'I have direct
ed that the finding of the court of in
quiry and the views of this govern
ment thereon be communicated to the
government of her majesty, the Queen
Regent, and do not permit myself to
doubt that the sense Of justice of the
Spanish nation will dictate a course of
action suggested by honor and the
friendly relations of the two govern
ments.'
This may not seem vigorous
enough to some but 1t covers the
ground Spain cannot afford to take
any other course than that indicated
by the President.

will be submerged in the overdress

curse.
There are pretty skirts that are elab-
crate enough without such. Here is
one, at the right in this picture. 1t was
of black satin, was shirred three times
between waist and knees, the lower
part being very full Spanish f1ounce.
The shirrings consisted of three rows
each and were nine inches apart. The
bodice had a tucked vest of coral-pink
satin, with collar to match, and the
fronts turned back In revers, with shir-
red chiffon edging. The same materi-
ais were combined in the sleeves, tuch-
ed pink bands being separated by black
chiffon ruches.
Compared with this gown, the dress
beside it was simply made but 1t was
significant of a new wrinkle in the
mating of colors. This new fancy is
most notable in millinery, where it may
be said to be dominant characteristic,
and consists in the combination in one
hat of several shades of violet. The
range of what may be styled violet
shades is considerable, and their taste
full combination is anything but an
easy matter, so happy joining is high
ly valued. That being the case in
headgear, it is but natural that an
echo should come in dresses, and this
gown was evidence of it's arrival.
Made of lavender cashmere, it's skirt
was plain, and it's fitted bodice but
toned in the center with small steel
buttons, being entirely tucked. Over
the shoulders was decorative ar
rangement of the cashmere combining
epaulettes with bretelles, and this was
trimmed with narrow heliotrope velvet
and dotted with small steel buttons.
The plain stock collar was adorned
with fan-shaped folds of the dress
goods threaded with heliotrope velvet
ribbon. Experimenting with these
shades is not attended by so many diff
ficulties in gowns as in hats, because
two or three shades are usually the
limit for dress, while rich hat plan
ned by a skillful eye may safely run
almost the whole gamut OF violets.
Still, the home dressmaker will be
wisest who is least bold in her essays
in this direction. FLORETTE.

AS TO BRoILED LOBSTER.
1t Shouldn't Be Really Broiled; Just
Roasted-Easy to Cook.

Roasted-Easy to Cook.
Who likes not the luscious broiled
lobster Is fit for treasons, stratagems,
and spells; or, at least, that Is what
most men and many women think now
adays. Perhaps there isn't man in
this city who knows more about the
lobster market, where Holsters are
brought from and in what numbers,
and how to broil lobster to make it
delicious than the shrewd man who
does all the marketing for the Waldorf
Astoria.
The finest Holsters in the world" he
said, ''are caught on the coast Of Long
Island and New Jersey, or, at least,
they are the finest for New York peo-
pie, for the best lobster is the freshest
lobster. Freshness is a Holsters chief
virtue. The New York market, how
ever, cannot depend on Long Island
and New Jersey for a. supply. The lob
ster is so much in demand for private
tables and in restaurants that it is be-
coming comparatively scarce. During
stormy, cold weather they are extreme
ly scarce around here, and dealers have
to depend on Canada and the South for
a supply. HOLSTERS are caught in a
trap, as every one knows, and nobody
has any proprietary rights as far as
they are concerned. You may have
your traps all set, and If choose to set
a trap in between your you have no
grounds to object. This random catch
ing of Holsters has caused them great

is a law making 1T an offense to handle
lobster weighing less than one-half

lection.
ITO show how popular the lobster has
grown, may say that when I started
in here five years ago I could have
made a contract to secure all the lob

year round at 10 cents pound. To-
day I pay 20 cents a pound for every

How are the Holsters brought to

viewer
"As soon as they are caught they are
put on schooners and brought here at
once. If the weather Is warm, cracked

to take them as they come, dead OF

ones left on their hands and sell them
to the cheap restaurants at five or six
