Treatment Of Diseases Of the Eye,
Ear, Head, Thr at, Lungs, Digestive
Organs and Affections Of the Nery-

In the treatment and cure of disease
promptness of action and judgment in
the selection of curative agents must be
exercised. Nature seeks to assist herself
at all times, but when she finds herself
helpless the aid of human agent is
mandatory
Many of the diseases which affect hu-
manlty find the.- entrance into the sys-
tenn by means of the channels through
which air is conveyed to the lungs Be
ginning at the nose, the disease extends
TO the throat and thence to the lungs.
The air passages are necessarily con-
tracted, and from the action of the dis
ease and the Introduction of too little
DEMONSTRATING air the whole body suffers
and breaking down of the system re-
suits.
Prompt action is necessary to expel dis
ease and stop its ravages. Patients thus
suffering must intrust themselves to the
competent hands of a specialist who has
made the treatment and cure of their af-
f1ictions a life study. Such a man is DIR.

J|MENES LANDS

Special Dispatch to The Call.

PUERTO PLATA, San Domingo, Sept s.
General Juan Isidro Jimenes landed here
to-day, having come from Cuba. touching
at Cape Haytien on the way. He was re-
ceived at the water side by an immense
throng His reception, arranged by Cen
eral Ramon Imbert, was enthusiastic.
The news of Jimenes' arrival has been
sent into the interior and it is believed
settled order and peace will soon be re-
stored.
General Jimenes was accompanied by
fifty armed revoutionistS, who We're
taken on board the Georges Croise at
Cape Haytien. The populace hailed MIN
as the country's deliverer.
A delegation of a hundred officials ana
prominent merchants, headed by the Gov
ernor of the city. went on board the
steamer to greet him returning after an
absence of nine years. The entire popula-
ton was at the wharf and escorted his
carriage to headquarters. where a re-

Tonight there was popular demon

speeches of welcome. Puerto Plata and

is some uncertainty regarding political
conditions in the southern districts ana
there are rumors of other aSpirantS plan

quarter.
"The coming of General Jimenes com
pletes the evolution. There has been no
revolution. 1t is safe to expect an I'M

Sentiments like these are uttered on all
sides and there is no discordant note.

CALIFORNIA PRODUCTS
FOR THE PARIS FAIR
State Commission Making Splendid
Progress in Collecting the
EYhihifs

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 5.-The California
Paris Fair Commission is making COM
mendable strides in endeavoring to collect
material for the display TO be made next
year by this State at the great exposi-
ton. Secretary Virgins received orders
from the commission to arrange twenty
five jars of fruit for the exposition proper
These are now being prepared. They
comprise pears, peaches, watermelon
apricots, etc, in their natural colors,
slightly heightened by the prepared liquor
in which they are picked, and present a
most tempting appearance. 1t may be
possible these twenty-five jars will be
placed on exhibition in the Chamber Of
Commerce before they are shipped to their
destination. The chamber has been au-
thorized to collect samples of ornamental
woods that abound in this section.
The State commission requests that all
exhibits reach San Francisco by Septem-
Der Is. Secretary Virgins says this will
be impossible, as only the wine, cereals
and few samples of dried fruits will be
in readiness at that time. The southern
portion of California is doing it's full duty
toward enhancing this foreign exhibit.
Secretary Wiggins to-day reports that c.
II. Clayton of Lang and j. Fl. Mcintyre
of Sespe have furnished beautiful samples
of extracted sage honey: Loud & Curling
Of Pomona have forwarded a fine exhibit
of Hemskirke apricots; Ackermann &
Tupley. San Diego, make a creditable ex-
hibit of olive oil.

MODUS V|VEND|
NEARLY SETTLED
Fixes Alaska Boundary
Temporarily.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL HEADQUARTERS YELLING
TON HOTEL, WASHINGTON, Sept. s.
Unless Canada again interposes obstacles,
negotiations for a modus vivendi defining
the temporary boundary line between the
Dominion and Alaska, will De concluded
within a few days. Secretary Hay is
naturally very much gratifed with the
prospects of an early, though temporary,
settlement of this vexatious controversy
and it is not going too far TO say that the
solution is entirely due to the fact and
discretion he has displayed in the nego-
tiations which have been in progress ever
since he succeeded Mr.. Day as Secretary
of State.
Facts which came to my attention to-
day show that the Secretary has con-
Vinced Great Britain of the impregnable
character of the position he has assumed
and that Great Britain friendliness for
this country has caused her to make con-
cesSions which enable an agreement to be
reached as to the location of the tempor-
ary line. The proposed line, l understand,
will be located at the fork of Chilkat
River, just above the Indian village of
Kluckwan. Other points where the line
will be located were agreed upon some
months ago and are not under discussion
at tEis time. The effect of the location of
the boundary line as fixed by the Secre-
tary and practically agreed to by Great
Britain will be that the entire Lynn Canal
will be under American control and that
Canada will not, under the temporary
agreement, nave port on Inat water
way.
The question of the Canadian port on
the Lynn Canal will be left to the nego-
tiations for the permanent settlement of
the dispute. 1t was reported to-day that
the mo0us vivendi would end in Novem-
ber, 1900 but this was specifically denied
and 1t seems that SO far as the negotid-
tions have now gone there is no date fixed
for the termination of the agreement.
The temporary line will cease to exist,
of course, when the permanent line is
agreed upon. The object of the temporary
line, as has been stated, is to determine
the points where the customs houses of
the United States and the Dominion shall
be established and the territory which
shall be patrolled by the police of the
respective countries. The location of a
line will naturally result in preventing
conflict between Canadians and Ameri-
cans which might have given very seri-
Gus aspect to the dispute. The high joint
commission will have nothing to do with
the Alaska boundary question, though the
American members will undoubtedly con-
suit with Secretary Hay. 1t seems to be
understood that the commission will not
re-assemble until the boundary contro-
versy is disposed of. as the British Gov
ernment in the past has indicated that
the boundary dispute must be settled be-
fore the remaining questions can be ad-
Justed.
