pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Balls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The prOprIetOrs

4 ISLAND REFUTED,

l The tin-plate trust has been brought
 into notice by charge that it has been perniciously active in bringing about an enormous advance in prices. This slam
 der is refuted by a writer in the Mail and Express who says he was formerly
 engaged in the manufacture of tim plate and who evidently understands the business. He says that tin-plate never sold as low as $2.25 box in this country; that the lowest price on record for any grade was $275; that the trust" has not raised the price of this grade to $5.10, as stated, but is selling it at $4.65, making an advance of $1.90 over the lowest quotation of previous years. And he asserts that this increase is jus tifiable. The price of steel tin-plate, or sheet bars, has risen from s15 to $36 per ton, this item alone increasing the box cost of tin-plate nearly SIPS, as it takes about 125 pounds of bar to make 100 pounds of tin-plate. And again, the price of pig tin has increased from 13 to over 30 cents per pound, increasing the cost of this item in box of tim plate nearly 50 cents. Here in these two items is $1.75 of the $1.90, leaving only 15 cents for 15 per cent. increase in wages, the increase in cost of fuel, oils and general supplies
 This is a good showing for an indus try which was not long ago infant" but which, against the strongest of op- position, has been firmly established and is giving employment to over 15,oo0 hands, and keeps in this country $50, ,000,- 900 to $40, ,000, ,000 yearly which formerly went to England.

CHICAG0,S MnSIC4L EaR.

It hath been said that Chicagos musi-
 cal ear isn't very sensitive thing, but Chicago knows better There is, we be- lieve, but one city in the country that has given evidence of having a musical
 ear as sensitive as that of Chicago, and that city is Boston. Not long ago, it will be remembered, there was an ex- animation of street organs in Boston,
 and an attempt to decrease the public
 murdering of music. Now Chicago
 comes into new and praiseworthy
 prominence with society for the sup
 presslon of music 'in its aggravated
 torms-" This society has many musi-
 clans as members, and its first effort
 to fulfil it's mission will be an attack on street bands and hand organs. MT.
 Charles Keller is the president of the
 society, and he talks as the president of such society ought to talk. Tn no city on earth' says he, lis music more abused or more crimes commit ted In it's name, than in Chicago" He remarked that his musical ear had been almost ruined since he took up his residence in that city. He gives it as his opinion that the society of which he is the head will have large mem bershlp. Why said he i've have reason to believe that there are five hundred thousand people in Chicago who suffer torture in their homes through distorted forms of music, and who will join our movement" The so- ciety will not attempt to banish all street pianos; some of them really do credit to music" says MT. Keller. But no mercy will be shown to street bands and hand organs. No plan has been agreed upon yet for the suppression of piano practice in flats, but it is hoped that some way of stopping that nui- sance will be found The society will have music inspecting committee; the mode of proceeding will be to appeal to the law to stop objectionable music by it a nuisance.
 If there are five hundred thousand people in Chicago who are sensitive about their music Chicago is farther along than some have supposed. The fact that there are enough to start such a society as has been started is inn prpsSiVp

TOBACCO IN WAR.

 The tobacco and pipes with which the soldier at the front is being presented by the people he leaves behind him form the most acceptable and valuable gift he can have. The comforts of to- bacco are never more appreciated than on the battlefield.
 The first warrior who smoked was the red Indian, who used to scalp his enemy with his tomahawk, and then, sitting down, smoke soothing pipe out of the same weapon At the head was bowl, and the hollow reed handle served as the stem.
 It was the soldiers and sailors of Queen Elizabeth who were the first Englishmen to smoke. Drake's men puffed "the divine herb" and 1t is left on record that they did this to mitigate the sufferlngs of hunger.
 Cromwell and his Ironsides smoked, and on the camping grounds of Will liam HIS army in Ireland large num- bers of pipes have been dug up.

ALI QUIET.

"All quiet on the Potomac used to be the saying when the northern armies were getting ready to do something tc the southern armies. All quiet on the Modder and the Tugela is the report from South Africa where the British armies are getting ready to knock the Boer armies into cooked hats. It is evi- dent that the British don't mean to bring on another big fight until they are ready. They have lost the confi- dence that made them think the Boers ''easy' and that led them into the traps set for them by the Boers. If when they fight again they are licked there will be great Encouragement in Eng land, but if they should win the next battle the feeling would be that they had at last got down to business and were properly upholding the honor and the glory of old England. It will e very interesting to see what happens when active operations" are resume l.

troops through perfect hail of bullets,
 cigaFs in mouth Time after time Ger
 man generals led their men to certain death, coolly smoking. The lack of to- bacco, indeed, from which the French
 troops greatly suffered, was declared in
 no small degree to be responsible for
 the discontent that arose among them.
 The ladies of Germany saw that their
 husbands, sons and brothers were we'll | supplied with the weed.
 When the Light Brigade was ordered
 to attack at Balaklava, a regimental butcher was engaged in dressing sheep. He was smoking at the time, and pipe in mouth and cleaver in hand he charged with the corps and returned still smoking
 At Sebastopol an Irishman incau- tiously raised his head above the trenches. A Russian bullet came and smashed the bowl of his pipe, leaving the stem in his mouth Hastily drop
 ping under cover, Pat expressed his de- sire to come into contact with "the thafe that shot that gun and spoiled me only poipe."
 It was the Crimean war that brought smoklng lnto fashlon m England. Be- fore that only the working classes smoked. But the terrors and priva- tions of that terrible campaign taught the officers that as comforter and so-
 lace tobacco was unequaled. After the war they went on smoking, and the ex- ample of the Cremean heroes made the pipe and cigar generally indulged in.
 In the very thick of the fight at Rorkes Drift, in 1879, the English sol diers smoked as hard as they fought, lighting their pipes with the burning splinters of wood from the hospital fired by the Zulus.
 Wellington was the only general of the last century who objected to to- bacco So strong was his prejudice against it, though it was through to- bacco that his men sustained the terri ble privations of the Peninsula war, that in 1S45 he issued an army order condemning It's use.
 Napoleon could not smoke, but he was a great snuff taker. That wonder full strategist Moltke was passionately addicted to tobacco. During the war of 1871 he snuffed half pound week.
