GEN. ROBERT E. LEE
The Subject of an Excellent Lecture by pr. E.
 Ben namin Andrews.

Dr. D. Benjamin Andrews, the distin- guished president of Brown University, de- livered his lecture on Gen. Robert B. Lee at Seals hall last night to most appre- ciative audience.
 Dr. Andrews was introduced by Col. wm. H. Denson in few well timed remarks, eulogizing both the speaker of the even ing and his subject, Gen. Robert E. Lee"
 Dr. Andrews at once took up his subject beginning with the ancestry of Gen. Leo and in a clear and forcible manner followed the careers of the hero of the confederacy through series of events which are closely linked with the history of the country.
 Dr. Andrews is a finished speaker and while he did not rise to flights of oratorical perfection, his address was most pleasing and perfect and glowed with a radience of easy flowing rythm, as he painted the back ground of battles against which the heroic figure of Robert B. Lee stoodout in bold relief
 He paid no less tribute to his charac- ter as man than to his genius as a sol dier.

TO EMPEROR FRANCIS JOSEPH.
The Queen Regent of Spain Makes an App
 peal.

Berlin, March 19.-In spite of deniala the Queen Regent of Spain has repeatedly and strongly appealed to Emperor Francis Joseph, of Austria, to exert his influenca with the monarchs of Europe, particularly Emperor William, to secure their efforts to restore amicable relations between the United States and Spain.
 The queen laid special stress on the ne~ cessity of maintaining peace of Europe and securing an entente of the European mono archs against republican, aggressive AmerY ica and on the affinity of her dynasty with the Hapsburgs. It is understood that Em- peror Francis Joseph, while replying to the queen cautiously and conservately, has acs tually written to Emperor William, en% deavoring to elicit a reply pledglng tho latter to promise to tender his good serviceS in trying to maintain peace More recentt ly Spain approached Germany and Austria with the view of obtaining assurances that they, in the event of war, would assist Spain in some way or other
 The Spanish ambassador here, Senof Mendoz de Vigo, father-ln-law of Senor Polo y Bernabe, the Spanish minister to Washington, had conference on Wednesf day last with the minister for foreign aft fairs, Baron Von Buelow, when the latter assured him that while Germany earnestlv desired the maintenance of peace she cer.d tainly would not pledge herself to anything but the strictest neutrality. Spain is bel lieved to have received the same answer fl rom Vienna and Paris.
 Senor Sandoval, the Spanish agent, has thus far faSed in his efforts as a purchaser Of torpedo boats and other war ships.

The phonograph man drops from first place in vote three weeks ago to an insignificant vote.
 The candidates for judge were J. D. Hor- ton F. R. Daily, T. J. Turrentine and W N. Hayes. Horton, the present incumbent, wins by less than twenty-five majority over Daily.

The cures by Hoods Parsaparilla

The cures by Hoods Parsaparilla are Cures.
 The case of young Joseph Harper was a terribly tenacious one, but Hoods Sarsaparilla, fairly tried, et- fected perfect and permanent cure.
 The letter above, recently received from Joseph's father, shows how the parents hearts are still overaowing with gratitude to Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the particulars of the case below are interesting to all who need or contemplate taking a blood purifier or Spring Medicine.
 "C. I. Hood & Co.,, Lowell, Mass:

 "'We will try this medicine before we do anything else.
 "We followed the directions faithfully and while taking the first bottle, Joseph did not grow any worse; on the second, we noticed that he was improving, and, slowly but surely, the medicine drove away the disease and won a complete vic- tory. The scales and scabs began to fall off the sores gradually healed, and new, smooth and healthy skin formed in place of disease and corruption. Of course it took time, but improvement was steady until at the end of the year the disease had entirely disappeared. and Joseph stood a strong and healthy boy His food which formerly seemed to do him no good now properly nourished and sustained his body so that he has grown fat and strong; is at school and progressing rapidly in his studies.
