New York Sun says:
If the men are right, the girls had

ing glow to their checks and brow once
more, for word comes from Paris that it
is all the style there again for women
TO blush readily, and when Paris
bushes it would never do for New York
not to blush too. 1t is no excuse ut all
that Partisan women have more cause
to blush than New Workers. To blush
is the style, and blush you must When
was there Il time when fashion did not

blushing. 1t is said that the classes in
these departments are very full, so
eager are women to practice and learn
the art.

A PECULIAR REMEDY.
something About the New Discovery I
Curipo nysnoy,oio

Curing Dyspepsia.
The Rev. F. I. Bell, a highly esteemed
minister residing in Weedsport, Cay
uga Co., New York, in a recent letter
writes as follows: There has never
been anything that I have taken that
has relieved the Dyspepsia from which
have suffered for TEN years except the
new remedy called Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. Since taking them have had
no distress at all after eating and again
after long years can sleep we'll. Rev.
F. !. Bell, Weedsport, N. Y, formerly,
Idalia, Col.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a re-
markable remedy, not only because 1T
is certain cure for all forms of indi-
gestion, but because it seems to act as
thoroughly in old chronic cases of dys-
pepsia as we'll as in mild attacks of in
digestion or biliousness. Il person has
dyspepsia simply because the stomach
is overworked, all it wants is a harm
less, vegetable remedy to digest the
food and thus give it the much needed
rest
This is the secret of the success of
this peculiar remedy. No matter how
weak or how much disordered the di-
gestion may be, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will digest the food whether
the stomach works or not. New life
and energy is given not only to the
stomach but to every organ and nerve
in the body A trial of this splendid
medicine will convince the most skep-
tical that dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles can be cured. The tablets
are prepared by the f. A. Stuart Co.,
of Marshall, Mich, but so popular has
the remedy become that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets can now be obtained at
any drug store for so cents per pack

Do Not Give Up in De-
spair-There is Hopel

For ages it has been thought
that Cancer is incurable, and
those so unfortunate as to have
this dreadful affection have con-
sidered themselves beyond hope of
recovery. The doctors are ab-
solutely unable to afford any re-
lief, and the poor sufferer might
wcll consider himself on the way
to an early grave.
1t is now easy to see why the
doctors have failed TO cure Cancer.
Their theories have been all wrong,
and hence their treatment mis-
directed. They have made the
mistake of thinking that by cut
ting out the sore or ulcer, known
as Cancer, the disease would be
gotten rid of, and the patient re-
stored to health. But the cruel
knife aceomplishes nothing, for
the Cancer promptly returns, and Is
always more virulent than before.
1t has been demonstrated, beyond
doubt, that Cancer is blood disease,
and can not be cured by the surgeons
knife because the blood can not be cut
a8Oay.
Several years ago my wife had an
ulcer on her tongue, which, though an
noying, was not regarded seriously at
first. 1t,refused TO heal and began TO

should 1t be shown-then there will be
movement among US that shall pre-
pare the great burden bearers of the
new testing.
We know-we do not guess-that
great times produce great men; just as
the needs of a hive produce a queen
bee. The men do not always rise from
the group that we expect Our own
selection would be quite at variance
with the men who step forward; but
they appear, and that is the chief point.
Would You have selected surveyor or

preached his liquor for his farm hands
Just like the rest of them, a Colonel
OF militia, to bear in his hands the pre-
cious casket of American liberty and
to be sponsor for country whose rapid
development has been unexcelled in the
history of the world? Nay; / know
you would not. Would you have pos
sessed insight sufficient to see beneath
the uncouth figure of a horny handed
rail-splitter, whose very attempt to
wear the pot-hat of civilization made
him look still more peculiar and to dis
cover in himAthe poise of character that
made him strong to execute terrible
task, prompt to forgive, and anxious to
be just? Nay, you know you would not.

Let not shadow of doubt be in our
minds, though we have incomplete
tasks at home, that the wisdom will be
lacking for the task abroad The very
width of our new task will make us all
think more and more wisely and there
fore react upon home conditions.

ADJUSTMENTS.

There was another good house atzthe
Orpheum last night. The scene OF the
hurricane at Apia and the wreck OF the
American and German squadrons, was
again eheered TO the echo and the cur
tain called up five times on it, amidst
a thunder of applause It is far and
away the most natural and effective
storm scene we have ever seen in stage
work. The beautiful ferryboat illu-
sion was admirably worked also and
was loudly cheered. The heavy part
in Under the Dome is borne by Guy
Durral, well known In Sacramento,
where he resided some time as dra-
matte instructor. He is an excellent
reader and fills the demands OF the
text In action and reading completely.
Miss Cumington as the heroine OF the
play, is quite equal to the task imposed
upon her. Mr. Sutherland, the whistler,
and Miss Hunt the dancer, were greeted
with the most generous and apprecia-
tive applause The two are as clever
specialists as one may wish to see.
t'Under the Dome with it's fine scenery
and original and remarkable mechani-
cal effects will be given for the last
time this evening.

AN EASY WAY TO SETTLE.
All Things Considered, It Was
About the Best Way. Too.

Now, then, sir, I think we have a
little business with each other. Sup
pose we settle it right here"
II know what you mean. Say, look
here! You and are courting the same
girl, and naturally we don't like each
other. That's the trouble, isn't it?"
That's it, and we don't need to waste
many words over it, either"
I'VE won't I would like to occupy
your time just about two minutes, how
ever, and If we can't settle this thing
without fighting, I'm your man, from a
Cuban machete to a Philippine parang
or any other old weapon belonging to
either normal or to expanded America.
Suppose you kill me. You couldn't
marry the girl. Even if you escaped
hanging it wouldn't do you any good.
She would never look at you again.
Suppose I kill you. / couldn't marry
her, either. But you wouldn't get
much satisfaction out of that You
wouldn't be in a position to do any
growing. Suppose we kill each other
If the girl cares for either Of us it
would break her heart. So what's the
good of fighting? Why not arbitrate
the case?"
"Arbitrate it?'
Yes. It's a toss-up, anyhow. One of
us stands as good a show as the other,
and it wouldn't muss things UP as a
fight with deadly weapons would. We
can state our case and leave the de-
cision to the arbitrator"
But, great Scott. Whom could we
get to do the arbitrating?"
Suppose we leave it to the girl her
self?"
All right. hadn't thought Of that"

He hitched his team and ran into the

be unoccupied, and Murphy hastened
upstairs, where a man named William

The house was filled with smoke, and
when Murphy reached Hillman's room
the latter was well nigh suffocated,
