The People Believe
What They Read About Hoods
Sarsaparilla
Their Faith in This Medicine is
Grounded on Merit
They Know 1t Absolutely Cures
When Other Medicines Fail

Hoods Sarsaparilla is not merely SIM
pie preparation OF Sarsaparilla, Dock,
Stillingia and a little Iodide of Potassium.
Besides these excellent Alternatives, it
also contains those great anti-bilious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandeion.
II also contains those great kidney RENEE
dies, iva Ursi, Juniper Berries, and
Pipsissewa.
Nor are these all. Other very valuable
curative agents are tremendously COM
bined in Hoods Sarsaparilla, and it is
carefully prepared under the personal
supervision of regularly educated phar-
macist.
Knowing these facts, is the abiding faith
the people have in Hoods Sarsaparilla a
matter OF surprise? You can see why
Hoods Sarsaparilla cures, when other
medicines totally, absolutely fail.
"My little girl was afflicted with
eczema and suffered for seven years. She
was attended by physicians and tried
many different kinds Of medicine with
out relief. After taking few bottles OF
Hoods Sarsapsrilla she was cured" MRS.

CAUSTIC COMMENT on DAILY.
1T is a significant fact connected with
the canvass Of Justice Daily that although
he had been desperately struggling ana
pulling every social and political wire for
denomination for the past year, not a
single one of his twenty-one associates
has urged or even asked that he be re-
nominated or pretended that his services
justified the lengthening Of his term from
twenty-eight TO forty-two years.
I'm all my political experience | never
knew OF an instance i'm which a Judge OF
long years on the bench had not sufii-
GENTLY attached himself to any one Of his
associates to be supported by at least one
Of them for denomination.
III the Republican party IS 10 succeed
in creating an issue out OF the failure
to nominate Judge DAILY, 1t means that
any and every Judge upon the bench
who once gets there will stay. whether
the people want him or not. regardless Of
his ability fitness, or services.
Nobody claims conspicuous ability for
Judge DAILY. lie was not elected TO the
Supreme Court. but 10 an inferior court,
which was afterward consolidated with
the Supreme Court. Tammany Hall be-
leved, and We still believe, that any one
or the three candidates presented by Us
is far superior in fitness and ability TO
Justice DAILY. No organization has more
strongly supported the Independence OF
the judiciary than Tammany Hall.
ACCUSATION OF INGRATITUDE.
For twenty-eight years Justice DAILY
has been honored by the Democratic
party. Now that ne sees ft he shows
his loyalty and gratitude to the party by
allowing himself TO be used as a eats
paw TO deceive the people and attract
votes from his own party. | do not be-
lieve that the voters OF this city and
State are going to permit themselves TO

HAS CLOSED ITS OFFICE HERE.
The Southeastern Tariff Association
suspends Operations In Virginia.

The rooms long occupied by the South
eastern Tariff Association, at the south
west corner of Main and Tenth streets,
arc now closed. A card tackled on the
door notifies those who call that the as
ISOLATION no longer occupies the front
Offices on the second floor.
This means that the Tariff Association
no longer controls the fire-insurance busi-
ness in Virginia, as it has done for a num-
Der OF years. What its future course Will
be remains 10 be seen. That Its power VIII
again be felt there Is little doubt.
The Southeastern practically suspended
operations in Virginia July 1st. when the
Wharton law. passed by the last Legisla-
ture with a view to breaking UP such or
ganiZations, went into effect. This law
prohibits combinations among insurance
companies for the purpose OF controlling
rates. 1t also requires all officers of com
panies in making their reports to the
Auditor OF Public Accounts TO take oath
that their companies do not belong to any
combine such as the Wharton law is de-
signed to break up. These reports are to
be made early in the year, and must all
be FLED before the 1st Of April. No prose-
cution under the act should therefore be
made before the reports are submitted.
MT. T.. a. Dung, the OOuLHedSlcIH ASSO-
ciation's stamp clerk, has not examined
the rates or stamped any policies since
the new law went into operation. For
merly all policies had to be examined by
him and be stamped before being for
warded to the home offices OF the COM
panies. Now the agents send them d.
rectly TO the head offices. 1t is said TO be
the intention of the association to send
Mr.. Young TO another field, but insurance
men seen last night were unable to say
positively whether this would be done.
While for more than a month the agents
have had no central power TO fix rates.
there have, so far as known, been no
material advances, except, perhaps, on I'M
desirable risks. Some Of these, such as
on mortgaged country property, have
been increased perhaps so per cent 1t is
not believed that there will be any rate
war here such as there was a year or
two ago, when several influential agencies
withdrew from the Tariff Associations
board and inaugurated a war that re-
suited in the rerating of the entire city.
The present tariff of charges is consid-
cred reasonable.
The Executive Committee of the South
eastern Tariff Association is In session
this week at Asheville, n. c. Whether
any steps will be taken with reference to
the situation in Virginia is not known
but it is not believed that there will.
There is an impression, however, that
sooner or later the Tariff Association will
in the field, and If need be, will
test the Wharton law In the courts.

MASS FOR SPANISH DEAD.
"MOnth's Mind" Celebrated mt An
napoIis, Md.--Cervera Present.

ANNAPOLIS. MD, August 4.-The
unique ceremony of a months mind
mass for the repose Of the souls of an
enemy's dead took place here yesterday
at ST. Mary's Catholic church. The SER
vices attracted large number of Protes-
tants, and were of high ceremonial char
acter. A months mind mass is one said
on the month after the death of the per-
son for whose soul the mass is cele-
brated. Yesterday the ceremony was for
the repose of the souls Of the Spanish
officers and sailors who lost their lives
off Santiago ir the battle of July Sd.
Admiral Cervera and about fifty Of his
officers attended the services.
A few feet In front of the Admiral was
the crape-covered bier, with a white cross
outlined on its dark folds. Around the
casket burned nine candles and from the
high altar ornamented and gilded, re-
flected the CLEANS of high-set candles
that gave the chancel grand and wor-
shipful appearance. The Rev. Father
Kautz celebrated the mass, assisted by
Chaplain BENT Martinez, of the Oquendo.
and Father Delead.
The spectacle reached its most dra-
matte religious effect when the procession
of priests and acolytes, richly ROBBED left
the altar. They encircled the bier, and
amid the glowing candles, deep tones of
the organ, and the rich, solemn dirge of
the requiem. scattered holy incense all
around. After the mass, Admiral Cervera
and his son went into the college, where
he was introduced TO a number of citi-
zens

Late in June an article appeared In the
colun.-- OF lie Petit Journal. Of Paris
signed Ernest Judet, which purported to
show that while Emile Zola's father.
Francois lola, was connected with the
commissaire department OF the Foreign
Legion, In Marseilles. in 1892, he had APP
piled the departments funds TO his own
use. His family. 1t was alleged, made
good the amount taken, but Francois
lola was dismissed in disgrace from the
service. Emile lola Immediately brought
suit against lie Petit Journal for libel.
demanding that the verdict and sentence
OF the court be printed across the first
page Of lie Petit Journal for one week.
NJ. Jddet wrote other articles apparently
confirming the allegation. In the mean
time the press of Europe and America
overwhelmingly condemned the action OF
NJ. Judet in attempting to strike the de-
fender of Dreyfus through his dead
father.
SO sure was NJ. lola OF the honesty of
his father that he brought the suit, not
on the charge Of an indirect libel against
himself but on the allegation that the
story was a fabrication of falsehoods,
calculated TO do harm TO the memory OF
Francois Zola. The charges made by NJ.
affirmed. but according to the verdict
above reported, IL would seem that NJ.

ceeded in proving them to be absolutely

HOW THE CLUBS STAND.

Richmond is back in first place once
more, but by a very narrow margin. The
Bluebirds won yesterday and Reading
lost. and this gave Wells his coveted
place again.
IL everything he goes against this sea-
son is as easy as the Norfolk team proved
yesterday he will have no trouble in
keeping It, for the locals fairly walked
away with the victory over Norfolk, and
played all around the CLANS.
The Cunning Hams were not in good
shape, and they made more errors than
they did good plays. They moved about
the diamond In the clumsiest fashion and
handled the balls as though they were so
many hot Goals. They muffed flies in
the outfield and Juggled grounders in the
infeld. and made misplays wherever the
opportunity presented itself.
LOCAL LADS DID WELL.
Richmond's heroes. however. put up
stlff fight from start to finish. and gave
the rooters, who had been pining for base
ball. frst-class exhibition Of the ma
lanai game. True, the contest was one
sided. but It was none the less interesting
TO the rooters, every one of whom pres
ent was delighted with the work of the
local lads.
In the first inning Richmond won the
game. and demonstrated to Mr.. Person.
the young man who went in to describe
hyperboles for Norfolk, that there was
yet great deal for him TO learn. Five
runs were accumulated in this inning.
but they were not all chargeable TO Per-
son-no. not by half-for Lefty MARI, who
has Just Joined the CLANS, and Hardesty,
an old standby, went wrong on their first
opportunities. and letting flies go through
them, permitted the Bluebirds to pile up
runs at will.
IMPROVED THEREAFTER.
During the succeeding innings the
game was marked by much better play
ing, thought the Norfolk lads worked
In half-hearted sort of a way and went
about the diamond something like the
Spanish sailors must have moved when
Schley was after them. They never once
used their heads, and frequently when
little muscular exercise would have been
a good substitute for the exercise of the
gray matter. they failed to utilize that.
Altogether the game was one Of those
exhibitions which is not worthy of de-
scription yet It was interesting to the
spectators, because Of the fact that the
locals won. The only run Norfolk made
was in the seventh inning, and that was
the result OF the only good work done
by the Clans during the game Wentz
was the hero of this feature With a
man on base he drove the ball away over
Hargrove's head, and as II bowled along |
toward the clubhouse Hardesty scored. |
Here are all the details of the game. |
They show for themselves:

SAVED BY THE ROENTGEN RAY.
Infant Swallowed Hat Pin Six
Inches Long.

incnes Long.
CHICAGO, August 4.--Frances Nelson
now IL years old, will bless the Roent-
gen ray when she is old enough TO know
that it probably saved her life. Frances
swallowed a 61-2-inch hat-pin some time
ago. Nobody saw her do 1t, but the pin
was missing from the hat with which she
was playing, and her mother felt sure the
child had slipped it down her throat.
Her father. 0. Nelson, is a merchant OF
Schlessingerville. He and his wife were
told by local physicians that it was i'm
possible for the pin to be in the child's
stomach. They came to Chicago and were
told the same. Finally they went to a
Roentgen ray laboratory and had a pho
tograph taken. Sure enough, there was
the pin lying lengthwise in the stomach.
The pin has been removed at the Presby-
terrain Hospital, and the child is recover
ing.
