for wrinkles and other imperfections OF the
complexion, but none had yet succeeded un-
I'll the Misses Bell. the now famous Com
plexion Specialists. OF rs Fifth avenue, New
York City, offered the public their wonder
ful Complexion Tonic. The reason so many
tailed to make this discovery before is plain
because they have not followed the right
principle. Balms, Creams, Lotions, etc,

hence the failure.
The MISSES BELLS COMPLEXION
TONIC has a most exhilisrating effect upon
the %cuticle, absorbing and carrying off all
Impurities which the blood by its natural
tction is constantly forcing to the surface Of
the skin. 1t is to the skin what a ~yitaliz-
Ing tonic Is to the blood and nerves, a kind

strengthens wherever applied. Its tonic eff

Asks for the Sympathy of the
Americans
He GREETS THE PRESIDENT
And Says His Government Made an At
tempt to Induce Mckinley to
Intervene as an Arbitra-
tor-Unsuccesstu
He GREETS THE PRESIDENT

New York, December 25.-The New York
Journal publishes the following from
President Kruger, of the Transvaal. under
date Pretoria, November To- forwarded by
E. E. Easton, the Journals correspond
ent with the Boer army:
II send my greeting to the president and
people of the United States.
"The main question in dispute between
this government and that of England was
in regard to the franchise. / have always
been willing to have this question and
others settled by arbitration, but England
has always declined arbitration at the
very start.
1--WE still made an attempt to induce the
president of America to intervene as arbi-
traitor. but this was unsuccessful owing to
our having no one to represent US officially
there.
1.-The franchise law adopted by the legis-
lture at the commencement of this year
would, according to the existing lists of
field comets, give the vote to $1,000 new
electors, and as there are only 10000 of the
older inhabitants on the voters lists, this
would Immediately have given superori-
ty in numbers to the new population.
"Instead of accepting this the British
government has declined and forced us
into war.
1--WE have been forced into war because
the British government was bringing
thousands upon thousands of troops into
South Africa and UP to our borders with
the avowed object of forcing US to do
whatever 1t considers right.
10 1nrin xr-,n ho6
more than one hundred years ago to fight
the same British nation to secure their
liberty, will know how to sympathize with
little sister republic, though far away,
which has now to fight a mighty power in
order to maintain it's own independence.
