BABY's SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes his Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofuia Sores.
"At the 6 of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side Of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous lock-
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, l began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. / also o HOODS
Sa%rsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which I feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. S. s. WROTEN, Farming
ton, Delaware. Get only Hoods.

that the effort shall fail. 1t ought to

wa forced by the north. If the merits
of the separation and what followed
were fully known rthre is not a self
respecting, intelligent Methodist in the
ssouth who would favor such a consum-
NATION as organic union. What ever
may be urged in favor of union there
is a great difference in the two Metho-
<fisrns-in the peoples of the two sec
lions. Ostensibly they are like in doc
crime, polity, ETC., but they are very
urEike in practice and belief. The
north is far less conservative than the
SaSl&h in religious matters. No demand
Tor women delegates and women
preachers and putting flags on COM
rnundon tables can find favor in the
south. Northern Methodists are far
xYlore fanatical and extreme than
southern Methodists are. The very
xruatst, most bitter enemies the sJuth
has had since the war have been
northern Methodist organs, and Cbi$h-
OPS and some others of the clerical eX-
Srenists. The New York Tribune does
not think union probable. We hope
1T is not even possible. Tt says:
EVEN a universal creed, h a al
Christians could accept as a sufficient
turn of Christian faith, were to Joe
found, organic unity would not be as
saalred. Methodists in 1874 believed The
same creed, and they continue to dc
50 stiM, i'm spite of which they sepraat-
ed And today it is doubtful if they
care for organic union enough to give
zYp for lit their denominational pride
and the little resentments that grew
41alt of the division. Speaking general
ay, ct may he said that there is no or
gsTfc unity of Christianity, because
the majority OF Christians do not be.

Wilmington to be Placed in the Tide Table

The United Staes coast and geodetic
survey annually publishes an almanac or
book giving the tide tables for the most
important ports On the coast. Whining
ton formerly figured in these tables, but
for some reason the table for this port
have been eliminated for four or five
years. Mr.. H. G.. Smallbones brought
the matter to the attention of the Pro-
duce Exchange, n he was appointed
chairman of a committee to use its best
efforts to have Wilmington restored in
the tables. For three or four years, Mr..
Smallbones has worked faithfully to this
end, and no doubt would have succeeded
last year, but it was too late to get our
port in the tables for 1895. He has. how
ever, succeeded in the getting Whining
ton data in the tables for 1899.
p The tide tables are very important from
the fact that this publication Of the coast
and geodetic survey goes into the hand
Of shipmasters, ship owners and shippers
all over the world. It will show the
dpteh OF water on our bar and in the
river. and ship masters will thus learn
that large vessels can come into our porL
without any trouble.
The following correspondence about
this matter was posted yesterday at the

TWO PARDONING RECORDS.

The Messenger, like h other demo-
cratic dailies, has tried TO have 1t
known to the people tina the repub-
lican president is a great pardoner of
scamps, and that he has shown special
weakness for bank robbers ras-
Gals. We have taken a hand because
sue conduct Is highly ce~nsurable. In
fact the northern and southern papers
have agreed that such a curse to be
pursued by the president of the United
States is to be condemned with marked
emphasis, for it is d~ishonorable and
iniquitous. In ten months Mckinley
granted ninety-seven pardons. Of
Eleven were granted to counterfeiters,
twenty-five to ~violators of postal law
and eight to breakers Of internal rev.
enue laws. That looks very shocking.
What misplaced sympathy! What a
gross abuse of privilege and power.
What an example to the youth of our
land, What a gross injustice to the
people, SO every honest man., with fair
sense, must feel when he a the re-
pulsive record in the pardoning line.But
the party friends and admirers of Nc
Kinley are not disposed to rest the case
here. They are for carrying the war
backwards, and to look into the rec
ord Of the late president. The New
York Mail and Express is responsible
for the following:
SIN the ten months preceding March
4 last, President Cleveland granted 22O
pardons, more thar twice as many Is
President Mckinley signed in a like
period. The falsity of the charge of
unusual lenience to offenders against
banking laws and embeZzZlers is shown

granting a pardon President Mck1n-
lev makes it an essential condition
that both the district attorney who
prosecuted the case and the Judge who
passed the sentence shall have signed

How to Raise War Revenues Easily

The war revenue measure now before Con-
gress proposes tax on the luxuries rather
than on the necessnries OF life. and, in prin.
ciple, this In right. 1t provides for q special
tax on fermented liquors, wines, tobacco,
business paper, medicines. chewing gum. tele-
graph messages, mortgages 1t is estimated
that the revenue derived from all these
sources will be from SOC, 900 900 to e100 0O0 600,
of which fermented liquors. will pay $4,000,
90 and all kinds of tobacco about s25, 900, ,00C.
The needed fund might be raised in a
simpler and more economical way by con-
fining the increased tax to tobacco. spirit
nous and fermented liquors. The govern
ment has. the machinery. already in operation
to collect a revenue on these, while the pro-
posed stamp tax on documents bonds and
debentures will necessitate the creation OF
new and complicated methods Of procedure
and raise many delicate and difficult pro-
blems.
According TO the latest report Of the COM
missioner Of internal revenue, there are In
the United States 1892 rectifiers Of spirituoue
liquors, lo.942 retailers and 430S wholesalers:
the brewers Of malt number 1880. the retailers
IL .076 and the wholesalers 5o7l.
Besides this there are tho revenue stamps
fixed at q certain rate on the gallon or the
barrel. Thus, for distilled spirits the rate is
81. 10 per gallon and on fermented liquors 81
per barrel Of thirty-one gallons. The reve-
nue. from all these sources for 1897 was sS2,
00S 92 from spirits, and $50. az, 207 from
fermented liquors. or total of $1l4, 4,4S0, 70l 90

Stuart Janney and Osmund Latrobe,
two young men of Baltimore, and grad

experience in the Cuban army, had some
very interesting adventures while there,
and in an interview the other day told
some interesting facts.
They landed from the Three Friends,
were seven days in finding the insur-
gents camp, during which time three
of the party died from exhaustion and
all hands narrowly escaped being am
bushed and shot by the people they
came to assist. What happened after
that is partially told by Captain Janney
as follows:
1--WE were taken back into the noun
tains," said he, "and kHr party assigned
to places with Garcia S command, which
consisted Of probably 2,500 or 5000
men. We found that in the mountains
nearly ali Of the insurgents were negroes
and commanded by negro officers, but
that in the central parts Of the island
the troops were all white and command
ed by white officers. We noticed that
when negro officer was killed or died
O white man was appointed in his place.
'They are not very gentle down
there. Nobody expects to give or take
quarter, and man might as well be
killed at once as to be wounded and cap
tured. They don't generally respect
