other cause for her condition and did
not hesitate to say so.

have asked her.
For nine months Miss Burke lay in
the hospital and when she finally did

sunken cheeks and pale face, she was
not entirely recovered. Indeed, up to
the day Of her death she was under
treatment by a physician, for the ex-

life. though she gradually regained
her former good looks and went about
quietly In the society in which she had
been accustomed to move before her
illness. She was bright and lever a
good musician and a strikingly pretty
girl, and therefore was much sought
after and had half a dozen admirers.
But to Mrs. Doane and other intimate
friends che conided upon her return
from the hospital that she would never

any young man to fall In love with her

On this point she was firm, although
her women friends argued that she
should not deny herself the pleasures
OF society altogether. She went to
social events of every nature in Wood

any OF her aumirers-but once, a young
man whom she was forced TO give
up on account OF her derangement.

1t Is very pleasing to notice that
throughout the country press there is
now admission that the stereotyped and
common abuse of legislators by newspa-
pers is not only an error but a positive
evil, and that it has the tendency to
keep out of competition for legislative
honors the best citizenship and the
higher capacity We are more than
glad that the interior press is awaken
ing to this truth. For in fact there is
not a particle of strength in vitupera-
tion, and no seeming of wit int the silly
fings and sneers indulged in by so
many concerning Legislatures as bodies
and legislators as individuals. Trees are
to be judged by the fruit they bear. IF
the legislator is in error criticise him;
dulge in the filings so common concern
ing legislators as no better than Jail
birds, as criminals simply out of Jail,
as men devoid of principle, high pur-
pose or honest aim, is silly and has the
effect only of degrading the office Of
the lawmaker, and discouraging men
from accepting the trust When leg
islator deserves reproach let him have
it full measure; but sweeping generali-
cations against all legislators are
worthless and shameful.

the richest American commonwealth
bordering the Pacific Ocean, San
Francisco is the largest Anglo Saxon
city Shall we maintain this primacy
for the State and the city?
We can accomplish this in but one
way, and that way is to take advan-
tage of our opportunities and advertise
to the world in a striking way our rela-
ton to the vast commercial interests
which are soon TO be developed on the
Western ocean In no other way can
We emphasize these facts than by hold
ing here great exposition.
If such an exposition is carried to
successful issue, it will accomplish for
US, first and most important, the elm
ination of that provincialism which has
been an obstruction to the growth and
prosperity of this city. Second, the
assertion and maintenance of the met
ropolitan relation this city sustains to
the Pacific Ocean and the countries bor-
dering thereon Third, the acquire
ment by our people of capacity for con-
sensus of action in great undertakings.
Fourth, the dissemination throughout
the world of information concerning the
rising Importance and prospective COM
mercial greatness of the Pacific Ocean.
Fifth, a vast financial gain in the way
of money to the active capital of the
city and the State.
The exposition will accomplish these
things. Expositions have accomplished
these results for other communities. The
city of Buffalo has raised l,5OO,UOO and
has received $4,000 from the treas
ury of the Government Of the United
States and 100000 from the State of
New York for the purpose of holding
a great Pan-American exposition at

The people of San Francisco will
spend some millions in attending the
Paris Exposition. It will spend other
millions in attending other expositions

tions of this kind; but when the enter
prising and progressive people of San

hibitions elsewhere, we shall attract
money to our city and State by the
holding of an exposition at home we

GOVERNOR T. c. FLETCHER, OF MISSOURI.

Hon. Thomas G. Fletcher, the noted
War Governor of the State Of Missouri,
is great friend of Pe-ru-na. He writes !:
The Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg Co., Columbus,
Ohio:
Gentlemen = For years I have been
afflicted with chronic catarrh, which
has gone through my whole system, and
no one knows the torture and misery I
have passed through. My doctor has
never found any relief until I was per-
suaded by friend to use DR.. Hartm ans
Pe-ru-na. After the use of one bottle I
feel like a new man. 1t also cured me
of a dropping I had in my throat, and
built my system up generally. To those
who are suffering with catarrh I take
pleasure in recommending your great
medicine. Very respectfully,
Thomas G. Fletcher.
Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly
becoming a national curse. An un-
doubted remedy has been discovered by
Dr.. Hartman. This remedy has been
thoroughly tested during the past forty
years. Prominent men have come to
know of its virtues and are making pub
lie utterances on the subject. To save
the country we must save the people.
To save the people we must protect
them from disease. The disease that is
at once the most prevalent and stubborn
of cure is catarrh.
Miss Minnie Armstrong, the author of
"The Modern Evil" and well-known
newspaper woman of New York City,
writes the following letter to DR.. Hart

fact the conditions were deplorable. The

as dry as dust; streams were running

wells had ceased to rise to their rims,

the storm is the heaviest experienced

fallen has come on just as could have
been desired, slowly, steadily and with
that penetrating quality that was so
much needed. Not a drop has been
lost. There has been no flooding and
no sudden swelling of streams. In fact,
the people with the reasonable expec-
tation that still later rains will come,
may hope that a season of extreme

The San Francisco "Argonaut" and
the Overland Monthly both assume,
indeed so state as fact, that our Con-
suls in the Orient notably Mr.. Pratt of
the Straits Settlements agreed with
and promised to Aguinaldo recognition,
of the Philippine Republic, that the
United States would recognize such in
dependence and would treat with the
insurgents at least as allies. This same
charge has been going the rounds Of
the anti-expansion press and is made
the basis of long and labored arguments
in an attempt to show that our honor is
pledged to the Insurgents to leave them
free to do their own sweet pleasure.
The Overland" goes to the extent of
saying that it makes no sort of differ
enee If the Consuls exceeded their au-
thority in SO contracting, etc. Now,
as a matter of fact, there is neither line
nor word in thel record to show that the
Consuls made agreements with Agui-
respondence and full reports of all that
took place in the time when Aguinaldo
was at Singapore and in China is out
in book form from the State Depart
ment, and not a thing is therein set
forth warranting the assumption of the
anti-expansionists, as they delight to be
called. On the contrary, the instruc-
tions of the Government to the Consuls
are set forth in which they are warned
to make no promises whatever to the
insurgent leader, and asking them par
ticularly if in conversation with Agui-
naldo they had said anything to lead
him to misconception of the purposes of
this Government, and warning them
that the United States could only con-
slider the insurgents as a people in re-
bellion against the authority Of Spain
The Consuls replied satisfactorily to
the State Department, and that is all
there is in the whole matter We are
not pledged to Aguinaldo. and are in no
wise committed to recognition Of his
claim of authority.
