We Be Cured
OF Catarrh, Bronchitis,
Asthma, Consumption
A Test by Which the True Value
Of All Cures Can Be Determined.

How many thousands there are to-day who
would gladly pay almost any reasonable SUN to
bo cured Of either one of the above diseases, but,
knowing of so many different remedies and
treatments, are unable to decide which ono to
try. It does seem q difficult task. yet becomes a
comparatively easy one IL the person afflicted
will but use u little good judgment and common
sense. In tho first place. every man and woman
knows, or should know, that the air passages
were made for air alone, and that nature has 30
constructed these passages that moisture OF any
kind cannot enter the bronchial tubes or lungs.
This at once procludes all possibility OF n euro Of
dcep-seated diseases being effected by treatment
requiring the use Of sprays. douches, atomizers.
or vapors. Secondly, all regular physicians nd.
init that these diseases are purely local and
must DO treated locally. consequently. stomach
medicines become useless in treating diseases OF
tho air passages. Tho diseased parts must be
reached through tho air we breathe or not ut all.
Not only this, but q germicide must DO used
which will leave the air dry and yot have the
power to destroy the bacilli of disease in the
minutest air cells of tho lungs. This decision
reached. then comes the question:: Is there such
q germicide. which can be inhaled through the
air you breathei Thirty-eight hundred physi.

Built His Own Fire and Then 'Fired" His
Porter, Who Kept City Hours.
The Macon Telegraph prints this
from its Atlanta cOrrespOn dent:
Commissioner Stevens has appointed
Henry Strickland, an old family SER
want, plain, honest and polite cOun-
try negro as his porter. In cOnnec-
tion with this appointment there is a
story that is suggestive of the every
day, business like method that will OBJ
tain in this office.
The second morning after Colonel
Stevens took charge he appeared at his
Office at Z O'clock, and not finding his
pOrtor, the commissioner had to build
his own fire. When the porter, who
had held the place for several years,
appeared the commissioner told
him he would have 10 come
earlier, when the official
negro replied that he could not get to
the Office before 80 o'clock.
"Then you may get another place."
said Commissioner Steven, las people
in this office will have to work"
Commissioner Stevens has also ap~
pointed Mr., A. T. Dallas of Troup
county fish commissioners. "This is an
important though honorary appoint
ment," said the commissioner, land
while it was not applied for, I hope
that Mr.. Dallas will accept the same, as
he is the right man for the place."
Mr.. Dallas is a wealthy farmer of
Troup county. and has always taken a
lively interest IN fisheries.

GEORGIA'S SCHOOL BOOKS.
The Cost of Books for Common Sch oOls is
About @125.OOO Per Year.

Ah@ SOSA "a DO~AS AUE OOmbnVW SC0 OOiB Is
About $4,000 Per Year.
The report of the school book com.
mission have been put in type and will
be distributed among the legislators.
The reports show That the average
cost per school book, regardless of the
kind, for books purchashed to July l,
1897, was Al cents, and that the aver
age cost per copy of books purchased
during the year from July / 1897, TO
July l, 1898, was 36 cents. The total
number of all kinds reported was 1885,
945, and the total cost of these books
was $155, 3lS.42. The reports from
three counties gave the total number
and total cost only; in the other sixty
counties 229, 40 books were purchased
prior to July /, 1897, at a total cost
of S9l,51015, and 161 ,577 books were
purchased between July |, 1897 and
July /, 1898, at a totafc0st Of S64, 97l.16.
From these figures it seems apparent
that the value of school books IN
use in the common schools of the state

JERUSALEM AS IT IS TODAY
THE HOLY CITY AS THE KAISER

The Ancient Mule Track Up scOpus and
Over the Mount of olives Being Re-
placed by Modern Car
riage Road.

Greater activity in pushing forward
municipal improvements and other pub
lie works exists just now in and about
Jerusalem than has before been wit
messed in modern times. Roads through
out the country are being repaired and
new ones constructed. The ancient
mule tracks up Scopus and over the
Mount of Olives, which served Titus
and his men of war, along which David
fed from Absalom as he was stoned and
cursed by Shemei, and which have been
climbed by generations of Jebusites and
Jews, Romans, Moslems ana Christian
knights, pilgrims and tourists, are be-
ing replaced by a modern carriage road,
built at the wish of the German empress
that she may be able to reach these sa-
cred sites without fatigue. The Jaffa
gate of Jerusalem. which has been used
as carriage roadway for entering the
city, is to be appropriated to pedestrians,
while a wide entrance for carriages on
the south of the ancient gate, and be-
tween it and the tower of David, is be-
ing made by filling up the old moat of
the citadel.
All this preparation, and much more,
is undertaken in view of the approach
ing visit of the German emperor, when
he is to dedicate the imposing new Ger.
man church called the Church of the
Redeemer, which is Just being COM
pleted. The other several German en-
terprises here-the new German hospital,

The Poor Dying of Starvation in

left Havana on Tuesday. July 9th, ar
rived at Port Royal to-day with twenty
three passengers, among them Sir Alex

at Havana, and Mr.. Higgins of the
British Consulate there, both on leave
which is given as the only explana-

Mr.. Higgins said: "The city of Ha-

WRECKED SPANISH SHIP.
A Four-Masted Steamer Aground
at Marie1

KEY WEST, July So a. ma four
masted Spanish steamer of about 5000
tons, with two tunnels, has run aground
at Mariel, west of Havana, after being
chased by the gunboats Hawk. Castine
and Prairie. The intelligence was
brought here this morning by several
auxiliary warships returning from the
north coast blockade. At the time they
left the lines the identity of the wrecked
Spaniard had not been established. By
many. however, it is thought she is the
Alfonso XIII.
I. The steamer was first sighted at the
western end of the Havana blockade,
about six miles from MORO Castle,
heading for Havana. The Hawk inn
mediately gave chase, and was soon
Joined by two other gunboats. The trio
opened a hot fire, on the enemy, who.
unable to escape, and helpless, was
forced ashore.

TALK OF PEACE.
Would be No Surprise if Overtures
Come at Any Time.

Come at Any Time.
WASHINGTON, July Sit can be
stated authoritatively that no overtures
toward peace had been received up to
the time of the Cabinet meeting to-day.
At the same time Cabinet members look
upon the situation as having more fac
tors conducive to peace than at any
time heretofore. 1t would be no sur
prise if peace overtures came TO the
Government any moment, either from
Spain or through some intermediary
This is felt to be so imminent that II
leads to numerous rumorS that actuaI
overtures have been made, but the re-
ports are premature and are based on
expectations rather than anything tan
gible. This is not only the official state
ment of Government officials, but the
same view is taken at British, French,
German and other foreign Embassies
and Legations, where it is stated that
peace negotiations have not assumed
definite form, but that all circumstances
tend in the direction of a desire by spain
to terminate the conflict
None of the foreign representatives
nave vet received instructions to act.
At the British Embassy specific inquiry
was made concerning published report
that Sir Julian Pauncefote had made
indirect overtures to the President look
ing peace, and that the President, Whlie
declining intermediation, had said ne
would agree to peace If Spain appned

SPANISH PRIVATEER.
One Said to be lowering OFF the
Coast Of British Columbia.

WASHINGTON, July S.-The Navy
Department has been informed that a
Spanish privateer, carrying five guns.
is lowering eff the coast of British CO.
lumbia. According to last accounts,
the privateer was between Prince Char
lotte Sound and Dixon's Entrance.
Prompt instructions have been sent to
the smilit,ly authorities of the north
west coast to prepare for a visit at once.
SAN FRANCISCO, July S-The re-
port from Washington that a Spanish
privateer is lowering off the coast of
British Columbia is not credited here
Some time ago it was reported that a
man named Brown had cab.ed from Vic
toria to the Spanish authorities at Mad
rid asking for letters of marque to fit
out privateer and prey upon the treas
ure ships coming from the Klondike
At the time this was thought to be
merely an advertising scheme to revive
the waning interest in the Klondike
gold fields and no trace of Brown could
be found at Victoria.
If a Spanish privateer is really cruis-
ing off British Columbia. she will have
rich pickings. The steamers Roanoke
and ST. Paul are due to arrive almost
any day from St. Michael with big ship
ments of treasure to the North Ameri-
can Trading and Transportation Com
pany and the Alaska Commercial Com
pany. The steamer Leelanaw is also
due with returning prospectors and
their cIean-ups. The Roanoke and Lee
lanaw are bound for Seattle and the st.
Paul for San Francisco
Leon SlosS of the Alaska Commercial
Company, when told of the alleged pri-
yateer, said that of course such a thing
was possible, but he did not believe it.
He placed the rumor on a par with last
seasons story that Chinese pirates con-
templated an attack on the Klondike
feet, and which story caused the Gov
ernment to send a revenue cutter north
to escort treasure boat down

reads have been greatly improved.
The general health of the soldiers is
good The armistice is affording a long
needed rest for our men and they are
now in good shape to resume fighting.
General Linares is evidently weaken
ing. and the mediation Of the Bishop of
Santiago and the Consular corps may
persuade him to surrender.
In case hostilities are resumed the
plan of assault is for Rear Admiral
Sampson to lombard the forts at the
mouth of the harbor, driving the men
away from the guns, and then land a
thousand men and occupy the forts,
While launches with graphing irons go
in and countermine the harbor. The
fleet will then enter and lombard the
city, supporting the land assault.
General Garcia, the insurgent COM
mander, received orders yesterday not
to attack the Spaniards while the ne
gotiations are on foot.
The Spanish cruisers are still filled
with charred bodies, and the buZzards
arc deyouring the remains. The

100 Spaniards who were washed ashore
