August Flower.

1t Is a surprising fact" says Prof.
Houton. that in my travels in all
parts of the world. for the last ter
years. | have met % people having
used Green's August Flower than any
other remedy. for dyspepsia. deranged
liver and stomach. and for constipa-
ton. | find for tourists and statesmen,
or for persons filling office positions,
where headaches and general bad
feelings from irregular habits exist,
that Green's August Flower is a grand
remedy. 1t does not %injurs the system
by frequent use. and is excellent for
sour stomachs and indijestion.' -

OF course the United States will IN
sist upon the surrender OF the arms OF
the Cuban insurgents before it pays
any of that 50 1000. 900 to them. The
arms. too, will have to be kept in
American hands. The disarmament
of the insurgents Is a necessary pre-
limlnary 10 the rehabilitation of the
island. The old conditions OF peace
can no be restored effectually unless
all the men composing the rebel
armies dissolve their organization
and adopt peaceful pursuits. They
must drop their old character of
rebels against the constituted author
ity. The present authority is that OF
the nation whose aid they invoked.
and without whose help the rebellion
would have been suppressed before
this time. Some of the leaders OF the
rebels probably desire independence,
AS this would mean political distlnc-
ton for them, even though 1t would
be likely to involve oppression for
their countrymen. Their is a good
reason to assume, however. that a
majority of the residents of Cuba are
favorable to annexation. This pref
erence will have a chance to reveal
itself this year or next, when the vote
on annexation or independence takes

who do not recognize IA newspaper AS

slider it of any great Importance to the
town in which it is published. but such
people are not qualified to Judge of

Beginning Monday night and contin-
uing for a week the new farce-comedy,
"A Breach Of Promise" will be played
at the Clunfe Opera-house 1t has just
concluded a weeks successful engage
ment at the California Theater, san
Francisco The press of that city
speak of it as an unroariously funny
thing, greatly eXtraVagant, rldlculously
absurd, and as keeping the audience IN
a roar of laughter. 1t would seem
to be a knock-about farce largely that
goes with such a whirl and rush ana
is so full of smash, knock-down and
drag-about business that, as the
"ChronicIe puts it, nc one has time to
from Judgment whether the players are
people of merit or not. 1t is a mu-
sical farce comedy, and is said to be
rich in catchy tunes. Burt Haverly and
Nellie Sennett are leaders in the troupe,
and there is a group of pretty women
and skilled comedians besides.
Philadelphia Saturday Post: Many
years ago Miss Adelaide Nelson drove
through beautiful Tower Grove Park in
St Louis. On the way she was inn
pressed with the Shakespearean statue
which is one of the attractive features
of the park, and she expressed a desire
to plant tree within it's shadow. She
went to London, secured a mulberry
tree at Stratford and sent it on to the
Park Commissioners, instructing them
to keep it until her return. She went
to France and died but the tree was
planted, and a small white stone tells
this story. Since then trees have been
planted by Booth and Barrett.
Several weeks ago Miss Olga Neither
sole heard the story of Adelaide Nelson
and through friends she secured the
Park Commissioners permission to
plant an English elm close to the
Shakespearean mulberry The tree
planting was attended with much cere-
mony. Miss Nethersole shoveled the
earth with her own hands in a heavy
rainstorm. Beneath it's roots she placed
a metal box, the facts concerning its
contents being known only to herself.
