Within few weeks there will assemble
in San Francisco about 600 mining and
civil engineers and scientists. IL will be

eminent men that ever met on the Coast.

mining districts in California. These
men represent ct least six hundred mill

Future Of the Bicycle.

II is agreed by all bicycle manufac-
turers that the 1899 models represent
the perfect wheel. Improvement
seems to be impossible. Precisely the
same thing is true of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. 1t represents the limits
of science in overcoming disease. and
it is impossible to make better medi-
cine for the stomach, liver. kidneys
and blood. A few doses of the Bit
ters will start weak, nervous and
bloodless people on the road to
strength. A regular course OF treat
ment will bring back the pink to the
cheeks and sparkle to the eye. Sleep
will come naturally. and it will be re-
freshing and healthful. Dyspepsia,
indigestion and constipation will be
completely banished, and the bless
ings OF true health bestowed. Never
take q substitute for this perfect rem.

To Eradicate the Divorce Evil,

The Bachelor Girls Association OF
Michigan has determined to extend its
field of operation, and an effort will be
made to effect organizations in Indi-
ana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York,
Ohio, Wisconsin and Missouri. 1t is
proposed to organize societies in every
town and city, and with binding oaths
pledge affiliating members from enter
ing matrimony until the specified age
limit of thirty years has been attained,
and to stipulate qualifications which
must be possessed by members OF the
opposite sex who seek marriage when
the young women may be eligible for
alliances. Promoters of the move
ment believe that the divorce evil may
be partially eradicated by such an or
ganization maintained in several
States.
