Cuticura Cured. Skin Now Clear
A SWORN STATEMENT.

When my nephew was two weeks old he had
running sores on his face, neck, breast. and
hands, which continued to grow worse. They
looked like raw beef. Sometimes blood would
come and sometimes matter. He was awfully
bad. Why, we had never heard or read Of
such a case. My sister had to tie his hands to
the hammock 10 keep him from scratching
himself, he itched so. He often rubbed his
neck and face against his shoulders. The
doctor did little or no good. Said " it came
from the blood" etc. She heard of CUTI-
CURA (ointment), and bought her box, a4d
finding it gave satisfaction she continued to
use it. The bog Is all nell noi1 and his face is
clear. In order to show you my good faith in
this matter and how pleased am with CUTI-

that the present field of electric traction is

Some curious causes OF fire are de-
scribed by the Street Railway Review. A
workman a while since on the South Side
Elevated, Chicago, dropped a tool, which
made electrical connection between the
third rail and a large gas pipe carried on
the structure A hole was burned in the
pipe and the gas ignited. The fire depart
ment was called out, and traffic between
the downtown terminus and Thirty-third
street was blocked for over two hours. The
wiring in several cars was burned out and
the cars set on fire. few days previous
to this another one of the cars was set on
fire by arcing in portion of the electrical
equipment.
1t is a conman thing for hotels to have
their own laundries, their own electric
lighting plant, and their own bottling ma.
chinery, but the Hotel Metropole in New
York is probably the only one that does
its own electro-p plating for the purpose of
renovating its spoons and forks and other
articles from which the silver has been
worn off The plant, which has been in op-
Grafton for some time, says the Electrical
Engineer of New York, has fully justified
the first cost of the outfit, and has shown
the economy and feasibility of this novel
scheme. As the operator of this plant Is

been presented by several steamship COM

After the primary bouts had been de-
cided the house was quiet with eNpec-
tancy but upon the arrival of the TWO
men in the roped arena a cheering was
started, which hardly ceased until the
spectators left the building, and at times
increased to such an extent that Capt.
Sheehan, of the Metropolitan police. had
TO warn the spectators that If order was
not maintained he would have to clear
the house"
In speaking upon his deciding the bout

had been wrestling about seventeen min

time when the German rose to his feet
to take the aggressive instead of the de-
fensive. The foreigner evidently mis-
understood his opponents intention, and

ring. They in their turn, after arguing.
commenced to settle the dispute between

Fitzsimmons showed Brady that he had
received lessons in wrestling himself
from Roeber. But Il was only by his
superior strength that the New Zealand
er was able to get the best of the argu-
ment. which he did by pushing Brady

in an instant, and had the satisfaction of

afternoon. She had just received a COM
mittee from the Mothers Congress.
With her in the Blue Room were Mrs.

Barbour, the favorite niece of Mrs. Nc
Kinley.

of the fact that several hundred women
had been presented and welcomed by the
silver-haired lady, she looked well and
did not appear at all tired.

look of comic dismay, and held out her
gloved hand, which had been soiled by the
pressure of the hands Of the dark-gloved
ladies Of the Mothers Congress Some
members of the congress had been so
hearty in their handshakes that her deli
cate white Kid gloves had been torn by
her rings.
Indeed, I like to meet the Mothers"
continued Mrs. Mckinley, but would
you believe It as they filed past one of
them stopped. and after announcing her
name, said, I hope you don't use wine on
your table, Mrs. Mckinley" At first I
did not understand her, but when she re-

Mrs. Mckinley turned to her sister-in-

turned to the interview with the Queen
Regent. Mrs. Mckinley smiled her ap-
prevail of the Journals enterprise.
Mrs. Mckinley, notwithstanding the
fact that we are at war with Spain. do
you not think that in, her great distress
the Queen Regent deserves the sympathy
of American woman?" was asked by the
Journal correspondent
'Sentimentally and as women. perhaps
we do sympathize with the queen in her
unfortunate position. As Americans.
however, our sympathies are surely ali
with our own people"
Mrs. Mckinley paused for a moment
and added: THE queens position is GER
tainly most trying one To a woman
sworn to guard the Inheritance of her son.
1t Is especially trying. She may not un-
derstand the true situation. From her
recent interview imagine she does not.

Joe Walcott is being put into the hole
slowly but apparently very surely. Billy
Smith. after giving Walcott as good as he
sent for twenty-five rounds at Bridgeport
last month, is out with the announcement
that he will fight no more colored men.
About every boxer in the country of any
reputation who Is anywhere near WAL
eotts class has drawn this line on him.
1t may be that Smith and the rest of these
lighters have genuine dislike for meeting
negroes. But there is strong suspicion
ahoat that there Is something more than
mere dislike for the negro behind their
action. WScott is a very tough boxing
problem, and to bar him on the color
