Secretary Alger as soon as he re-
turns from Boston tomorrow will take
up the Eagsn court-martial proceedings
and it is authoritatively stated that be
will ,deliver the papers to the Presi

is equivalent to a declaration that the

Dental action. No further disclosures
from official sources regarding the fn6

made until the President takes action.
General Eagan appeared at his Office
at the War Department this morning
and for the first time in six months he

In connection with the renting of
private mail boxes exposures have been
made showing clearly that this priv.

moral purposes. The matter was at
once brought to the attention of the
committee now engaged in codifying
the criminal laws of the country and
bill will be introduced into Congress
giving authority to the Postmaster

such boxes wherever suspicion of wrong
doing should be entertained.

COMMUNICATED
CURE FOR SMALLPOX.

The following clipping is from an
old newspaper in regard to sure cure
for smallpox and scarlet fever:
a Paris physician says: 81 herewith
append recipe which has been used
to my knowledge in hundreds of cases.
Il will prevent or cure smallpox,
though the pits are filling When
Jenner discovered cowpox in England,
the world of science hurled an ava.
lanche of fame upon his head, but
when the most scientific school of med
icioe in the world, that Of Paris, pub
lished this recipe as q panacea for
smallpox it passed unnoticed. II is as
uufailing as fate, AMI conquers in every
instance. 1t is harmless when taken
by we'll person. Il will also cure
scarlet fever. Here is the recipe as l
have used it and cured my children Of
scarlet fever; here it is as [ have used
it to cure smallpox. When learned
physicians said that the patient must
die, it cured:
"Sulphate of zinc, one grain; fox
glove (digitalls), one grain; half a tea
spoon of sugar, and mix with two ia
blespoonfuls of water. When thor
oughly mixed add four ounces Of wa
ter. Take q teaspoonful every hour.
Either disease will disappear in twelve
hours. For child, give smaller
doses, according 70 age. II counties
would compel their physicians to use
this, there would be no need of pest
houses. If you value advice and ex-
perience use this for that terrible dis
ease.n

If THE silver question is dead" as
the republicans and boilers say it is,
why do they object to its being resur-
rected by the democrats? Human nature
revolts at the sight of resurrectei
corpses, and if silver be dead, the best
way to consign it to oblivion would be
to dig it up. The objection to doing SO
is indicative of the fear that it is very

A NORTHERN republican journal, in
support of its expansion policy, quotes
Mr.. Jefferson as saying:
"The Senate is rot supposed by the
Constitution to be acquainted With the
concerns of the Executive Department.
It was not intended that these should
be communicated to them"
But Mr.. Jefferson never supposed
that if three members of the Senate
were specially informed of the concerns
of the Executive Department, their COL
leagues, who also have to act on q
treaty to which that information re-
lates, should be compelled to do so
in the dark.

MONDAY EVENING. JAN. 80, 1899.

PRESIDENT JOHNSON was impeached
for refusing implicit obedience to the
tenure of Office act, which denied the
rights guaranteed him by the Constitu-
ton. and for stating the we'll known
fact that the Congress which tried him
was not constitutional congress-, mas
much as the Southern half Of the coun-
trv was not represented in it, though
neither the disobedience nor the assert
ton referred to was violation OF the
Constitution. But President Mckinley
has grossly violated it, by creating o.
fees not authorized by Congress ana
ov paving salaries to officials out Of the
public treasury without authority OF
Congress. General Washington said:
SIT is important that the habit Of
thinking in a free country should In
spire caution in those entrusted with
lis ADMINISTRATION TO confne them
selves within their respective sphereo.
avoiding, in the exercise OF the powers
of one department to encroach upon
another. The spirit of encroachment
tends to consolidate the powers OF all
the departments in one, and thus to
create. whatever be the form of gov
eminent, real despotism." Daniel
Webster said, "clng to the Constitu-
tioD, as the sbipwrecked mariner clings
to the last plank, when night and the
tempest close around him" But what
were Washington and Webster COM
pared with Mr.. Mckinley? That
"a republican President should be APP
plauded for violating the Constitution,
when a democratic one was impeach-
ed for asserting his constitutional
rights, seems passing strange-but only
to those who understand neither the
tricks OF republicans, nor the hebetude
OF democratic statesmen"

New CHEMICAL DISCOVERY. - An
important discovery was announced in
the French Academy of Medicine on
Thursday by George Jaubert. He has
been experimenting on how to supply
air or renew oxygen in air for man in
q hermeticslly.enclosed space like a
diving bell The discoveries hypoth-
esis was that 70 per cent. of the nitro.
gen contained in respirable air remains
intact after 81 per cent. Of the oxygen
has been consumed, and the same nj
trogen, mixed with new supply Of
oxygen, becomes respirable air when
the carboDic acid and the yapor pro-
duced by breathing are removed.
Jaubert found that his hypothesis
was correct. The most important CUES
ton was the generation of oxygen. 1t
appears that he discovered a chemical
substance, which, by contact with the
atmosphere, clears vitiated air of all
impure gases produced by respiration,
and refurnishes automatically the re-
quisite quantity of oxygen, The all
thor states that six or eight pounds OF
this substance will enable a man to live
for twenty-four hours in diving bell.

"Iove is not love that alters when it alteration
finds"
That is one of the sublimest lines in all
literature. 1t is the final definition of love
by the worlds greatest reader of the human
mind, - Shakespeare. Nearly all women
who truly love, love in this sublime way.
Men seldom do
Woman's most glorious endowment is
the power to awaken and hold the pure
and honest love of worthy man. When
she loses it and still loves on, no one IN
the wide world can know the heart agony
she endures. The woman who suffers
from weakness and arrangement of her
special womanly organism soon loses the
power to swav the heart of a man. Her
general health suffers and she loses her
good looks, her attractiveness, her anna
bility and her power and prestige as
woman. Dr. R. " Pierce, OF Buffalo. N. Y,
with the assistance of his staf OF able ply
sicians, has prescribed for many thousands
of women. He has devised perfect and
scientific remedy for women's ailments. It
is known as DR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton It is a positive specific for all weak

Irregularities, and debilitating drains pc
