spRINa.TIME EPIDEMIC IS UPON Us
But the Cure is simple, Effective and
Agreeable.

Their is an epidemic in the air accom-
panied by distressing symptoms which,
strange to say, no school Of medicine can
alleviate or cure Generally it is early in
in the larger cities, attacking without
distinction the rich and the poor, the
strong and the week. There is a feeling
of eneryation, distaste for one daily
duties, and intense longing to get away
from the sights and sounds of the city;
to go far away 10 country OF sun
waters and rushing rivers, of mountains
and of forests. whose atmosphere is re-
dolent with the sweet doors Of the pine
tree and the balsams.
The proper course of treatment, II II
be possible, is to permit the patient to
follow his inclinations. The very knowl-
edge that ne is TO do so and the making
of the necessary preparations VIII, to q
great extent, mitigate his suferings, and
the change of scene and occupation will
infallibly complete the cure.
OF course every pond, lake and stream
in northern New England offers eXcep-
tional advantages for the fisherman, but
Maine is a region particularly adapted
to early fishing Among the more promi-
nent resorts 1t is expected that by the
middle Of May the ice will have entirely
disappeared from the lakes, and the out
look is that the season will be the best
for years, Every devotee TO angling has
some particular spot to which he takes
himself for this season of sport, but for
the novice it is really a task to select a
rendezvous, so numerous and inviting are
the camps.

favored one. To reach the regions OF

TO ACT TOGETHER.
Peace Delegates of
America and Eng
land Agreed.
URGE ARBITRATION.
Instructions Given United
States Representatives
on Minor Points.

Washington, May s.-The United
states and Great Britain win stand
together N the advocacy of the adop-
ton of scheme for the settlement OF
international disputes by arbitration,
which will be presented to the disanm-
ament conference at its meeting in The
Hague on the 18th.
The American delegates, headed by
Ambassador White, are equipped with
a fairly -digested plan for the ex-
ecution of this long cherished project
while the British delegates are pre-
pared with a plan which is almost
Identical with the American project.
The details cannot be procured for
publication in advance of the presenta-
ton of the projects to the conference
1t is known, however, that there are
essential differences between this last
plan and that embodied in the treaty
drafted by Secretary Olney and Sir Ju-
Ian Pauncefote, which failed OF acton
in the Senate when submitted for rati-
fcation. The differences are rather in
the methods provided for securing an
impartial adjudication than in the
principles of the formal convention, and
it is believed on these points the Brit
ish and American propositions are not
precisely similar
The American delegates go committed
to this arbitration product much more
strongly than to anything likely to
figure before the conference. Regard
ing disarmament, their instructions are
to tell the conference that the present
armament of the United States and any
within the possibilities Of the near fu-
ture are so far below the present mimi
mum ornaments with which any of the
great powers of Europe are likely to be
content that there is really no reason
why the United States should be called
into the agreement.
Other points upon which the delegates
have been instructed are correctly re-
ferred to in the cable dispatch this
morning, namely, the exemption from
seizure of individual property and the
extension Of the Red Cross rules to
warlike operations at sea. AS to the
former, the president expressed him
self very strongly in his last message
to congress, and the delegates go
charged to give practical effect to these
views. AS to the Red Cross extension,
both the United States and Spain dur
ing the recent war voluntarily agreed
to apply the Red Cross rules at sea-

any other sufferer from that disease"
Spring has come at last, and now is
the tinefor all catarrh sufferers to begin
systematic courseof treatmentfor this
disease. The greatest difficulty in the
way of treating chronic catarrh is that
the patient is so liable to catch cold dur
ing tho treatment, and thus delay the
cure. The liability at this season of the
year, is in a great measure removed, and
no one should neglect the opportunity
to be given treatment.

Millbury, May 9s-The drop" as a
result of the examination of the en-
pIoyees of the Millbury division of the
Worcester and Suburban for hearing
and eyesight, fell today, when Inspect
or John Banister of the Suburban line
called Motorman James Boyle and Con-
ductor Charles B. Kennedy into the of
fee and told them that their eyesight
was not up to the required point, and
the company would have to make a
change.
Motorman Shea win be kept in the
employ of the company in the car barn,
but will not run the front end.
James Boyle will be shifted to the
rear end as a conductor.
Conductor Kennedy who was a ia
vorite on the line on account of his
pleasant disposition and close attention
to duty, will leave the employ of the
company.
The fact that James B. Shea was
dropped was the cause of great sur
prise and dissatisfaction among all of
the townspeople, and all sorts of harsh
expressions were made today against
the management of the road. Motor
man Shea has been in the employ of the
Suburban Company for seven years
during which time he never met with
an accident but several times averted
what might have been a serious acct
dent, by prompt attention to duty.

rails being laid on stones. All along

Municipal Crematoria.

In connection with the annual
congress of the Royal Institute of
Public Health, which is being held
at Black pool, papers on"Cremation'
were read, Mr.. e. F. Hunt of
Acton moved the following reso-
luton, That cremation is the
most sanitnry method for the dis
p9sal of the dead, and that it is
desirable to erect crematoria in
the neighborhood of thickly pop
ulated districts, and that facilities
should be given to governing bod
les for that purpose Mr. Coun-
cilor Owen of Hull seconded the
motion, which was supported by
the mayor of Wolverhampton, Sir
Charles Cameron, DR.. Simpson
and Others, and carried, and it was
decided to send the resolution to

ment board. London Standard.

officers. yet among the killed I5
per cent are officers, and among
the wounded l6 per cent. This
fact testifies to the deadly aim of
the Beers fire
When five times as many officers
are killed and three times as many
wounded as enlisted men in pro-
portion to the whole number en-
gagged, it shows that the Beers aim
ed at the officers, and that their
aim is true. The rule in warfare
is to deprive the opposing force of
its leaders, or without them the
enemy becomes a mob and there
fore is no longer dangerous. 1t is
on this principal the sharpshooters
of the Boer army were acting when
they picked off the officers of the
approaching British forces. While
the British artillery is evidently
much superior to that of the Boers
it will become less available as the
field of operations changes from
the open to the mountainous coun-
try. The progress of the Beers
advance upon the British strong
holds does not seem toe have been
severely checked by the encounter

BECAUSE OF HARMONY.

1t is significant fact that as
the general conditions of Florence
begin to assume more encourag-
ing aspect, spirit of harmony
is growing which must eventually
break down the factional barriers
that have existed among the peo-
pie of our city so long. And this
fact presents happy omen of the
future, for it augurs prosperity.
1t is only by united effort that
anything can be accomplished,
therefore as such is the present ar
rangement, hopes for the future of
, our city arc well founded
Internal strife is very apt to be
caused by petty jealousies or per-
sonal grievances, usually imagin-
ary, and when such a condition
prevails no municipality can thrive,
Such state of affairs has long
handicapped Grand Junction and
retarded its natural development,
as those who are familiar with its
history can testify.
May it enter into the admins
tration of affairs in our city no
more forever!

Portable and convenient residences.
L. has gone out over the country
that Florence has no desirable
houses that are obtainable. just
few days ago two ladies stepped
off the Cripple Greek train, and as
they walked along the platform
one of them was heard to remark
"They say this place is having
quite boom, and that it is impos-
sible to rent a decent house in the
city" That sounded well in some
respects, but from another stand
point it was not an agreeable state
