All Rome, including King Humbert
and his queen, was represented in the
dense audience of 1000 rapt listeners,
from cardinals and grand master OF
the Sovereign Order of Malta, the pa
pal diplomatic corps, 'princesses and
social celebrities down to the humber
musical dilettante Of the people, and
all were enthusiastic in applauding the
talent of the rising musical star, whose
triumph the aged Verdi will now have
witnessed, after having expressed the
regret that he would not live long
enough to do so. A handsome ebony
baton, inlaid with gold and with ini-
tials in brilliants, was presented to the
composer, who was much affected at
this mark of esteem, by members OF
the Circolo di San Pietro, for which
charitable institution the proceeds OF
the performance were destined.

british LIBERAL LEADER.

Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, who
was recently chosen leader of the Brit
ish liberals, is man of the world more
than a politician. Although he has
sat for thirty years in the house of
commons as member for the city of
Stirling, he does not take himself Sc
riously in his political activities. He
has little ambition except to do good
work, and not too much Of it. He Is
perfectly honest and frank in all that
he does, and can be trusted not to take
any unfair advantage by the rival
powers within his own party. That is
why Harcourt travels peacefully to the
Riviera and Rosebery sits undisturbed
while Bannerman assumes the formal
leadership of the opposition. He did
wish in quiet way to be made speak
er of the house, but he was quite
content when his colleagues decided
that they could not spare him from
active party management. The new
leader is the son of Glasgow mer-
chant who was knighted at the time
of the birth of the prince of Wales.
He assumed the traditional name Of
Bannerman under the will of an I'M
Gle. He has been chief secretary for

Memento OF Alex. II. stsphsns.
Crawfordville, Ga, Letter: One Of
the intimate friends Of Alexander H.
Stephens, the vice president Of the
confederacy, has just shipped to Eng
land gallon of natural ink, product
of Georgia soil, to the address of Lord
Roseberry, the distinguished politician
who once held the reins Of the British
government. The little incident cul-
inmates a peculiar and interesting
story. Some twenty years ago, when
Stephens was in his prime, Lord Rose
berry visited the United States. The
two men met, and in few weeks were
on an intimate footing. Mr.. Stephens
had genial manner, splendid intel
lect, and brilliant conversational abil-
tiles. Lord Rosebery was much at
tached to him, and they spent much
time together. Toward the end Of the
Englishman's stay he accepted the in
vitation of Mr.. Stephens and came for
a few weeks to the patriarchal home
stead near this town. Charlottesville
was then in its swaddling clothes, and
fine specimen of the quiet American
country town. Lord Rosebery was
charmed with the hospitality Of the
people and the many quaint charac-
ters he found here, and declared he
had spent one of the pleasantest times
in the history of his life. Among 9TH
er interesting things which Stephens
showed him was some natural ink,
which flows from peculiar spring at
the base of Kennesaw mountain, near
Marietta, Ca, and which he used for
all purposes of record and correspond
ence. The liquid was little heavier
than the manufactured article, but left
a permanent stain, which made it a
valuable agent where documents were
to be preserved. Lord Rosebery finally
returned home, and kept up a con-
slant correspondence with Mr.. Steph-
ems until the latter's death. A few
days since the heirs of the former vice
president received a letter from the
ex-premier asking that some of the
ink be bottled and sent to him, as he
wished to exhibit it to his friends and
adopt it for his personal use, if prac-
ticable. His request was complied
with, and in a few days the ink will
arrive in England and be shown
around as a natural freak from the
United States.

surprised When They Took Look at
Platt.
Old MISUNDERSTANDING, Medi-
cine Bear, Big Foot, Heap Much
Smoke, Black Horn, Yellow Thunder
and Charge the Grow, seven big Sioux
Indians, were at the white house the
other morning to pay their respects
to the great father, as the president is
known among the aborigines. The sew
en- massive specimens of mankind,
clothed in their native garb-mocas-
sins, bearskins, paint and feathers and
long chains of beads swinging around
their necks-had business with the
great father, else they would have
postponed their day for paying their
respects until the heavy snow, which
gives Washington a Klondike appear
ance, melts away. Their business here
is to look after claims arising under
the treaty of 1872 which gave Jim
Hills Great. Northern railway Alright
of way through the Sioux reservation.
The president was most kind in his
treatment of the red men, and as Hall
stones spoke fluent English the presi-
dent was much interested in the CALL
ers.
Later in the day the Sioux visited
the capitol and occupied seats in the
senate gallery, and listened to Senator
Pettigrew, chairman of the Indian af-
fairs committee, urge the passage of
the Indian appropriation bill. There
are several items in this bill in which
the Sioux were interested, and they
were anxious to see that they got
through the senate. Hailstones craned
his neck looking for Senator Plat. He
had heard much about the New York
chief, and without knowing Just who
he was he thought that Plat might
possibly be one of the Sioux tribe.
Senator Plat soon came into the
chamber, and one Of the capitol guides
who knew the Indians pointed out the
New York senator. Hailstones in
spected him critically from afar, and
said:
"Umph! He no Sioux. White man."

Thousands of cases Of chronic ca
tarrh have been cured by Pe-ru-na
during the past winter. In spite of
changeable weather, in spite of the ma
tural set-backs from catching cold, and
confinement to illy-ventilated rooms,
the great catarrh remedy-Pe-ru-na-
has effected these cures. But now
spring is here. The days are longer,
the sun is warmer. and the blizzard is
gone for another year. This pres ,nts
a much more favorable opportunity for
the permanent cure of chronic catarrh,
especially old, stubborn cases. Now
is the time to begin treatment. Other
things being equal, one months treat
ment in the spring is worth two
months treatment during the inclem-

cessful substitutes for this remedy.

HOW A DUKE LIVED.

In a little yellowed English maya
zine, dated April 1904, a writer in What
to Eat came across the following
amusing scrap, which is copied YER
batim:
If the Duke of O. does not extend
his life to still longer period 1t will
not be for want Of culinary comforts
and those other succulent arts by
which longevity is best promoted. His
grace's sustenance Is thus daily ad-
ministered: At in the morning he
regales in warm milk bath, perfumed
with almond powder, where he takes
his coffee and buttered muffin, and
afterward retires to bed; he rises
about and breakfasts on cafe au
lait, with new-laid eggs, just par
boiled; at II he is presented with two
warm jellies and rusQues; at he
takes veal outlet la Maintenon; at
3 jellies and eggs repeated.
At the duke has a cup of chocolate
and rusques; at 1880 he takes hearty
dinner from high-seasoned dishes, and
makes suitable libatiOns of claret and
Madeira; at 10 tea, coffee and mullins;
at IL sups off roast poulet, with
plentiful dilution Of lime punch; at
in the morning he retires to bed in
high spirits and sleeps till 3, when
his man cook, to the moment, waits
upon him in person with hot and
savory veal outlet, which, with a pota-
ton of wine and water, prepares him
for his further repose, that continues
generally uninterrupted till the morn
ing summons to his lactean bath.
In this. routine of living comforts
are the four-and-twenty hours in
variably divided, so that If his grace
does not know, with Sir Tobey Belch,
"that our life is composed Of the four
elements" he knows at least, with Sir
Andrew Aguecheek, that it consists in
eating and drinking"

Prince Albert, Sask., b.

William McCreary, Esq, Immigra-
ton Commissioner, Winnipeg, Man:
Sir-We, the undersigned delegates
from Kansas and Nebraska, u. s. A., in
reporting the results of our trip to
Dauphin, and subsequently to Regina,
Prince Albert and the middle Sas-
katchewan country, beg to say that our
tickets were limited to q days, and as
we had other large regions to visit. we
could only spend short time in the
Dauphin country. We examined, how
ever, the principal cultivated areas In
the southern parts of township Is,
range 10, the great wheat fields Of Wis
hart, Buchanan, Owen, Smith. Ross,
Sinclair, the Whitmores, Drinkwaters,
ETC., and subsequently, others to the
north. and never. in our experience.
have we seen finer grain. The whole
country is watered by numerous
streams flowing from the slopes of
Riding Mountain, and excellent we'll
water is found everywhere at from to
Is feet. Extensive forests of spruce
and tamarack cover the northern parts
of the mountainJ, from which timber
Is manufactured in Dauphin and else
where, and sold at $12 a thousand
at the mills. Wild hops and wild fruits
are abundant, and ripen in the open
air. Vegetation throughout is surpris-
ingly luxuriant, and without hesita-
ton we would rank the whole region
amongst the best grain growing areas
OF the continent. The output of wheat
last year was about $4,000 bushels, but
this year it is estimated at over a mill
lion. Westward lie the homestead
lands which now, and when fresh sur
veys are completed, will afford COM
Portable homes to thousands of diff
gent families. The great Gilbert
Plains, also, we were unable to visit,
where grain growing has been conduct
ed with the best results for years, and
which will become vast wheat field
as soon as branch railway reaches
there. Settlement is speeding in all
these regions, reminding us indeed of
the early days in our own states; and,
as we have examined, since our visit to
Dauphin, a portion of the great coun-
try lying south and east of Prince AL
bert, we can readily imagine the tide
Of immigration which will soon flow
into the Canadian west.

The Importance Of Informing the
Public Of the Value Of an Article
Through the Leading
Newspapers.

The few remedies which have at.
tanned to worldwide fame, as truly
beneficial in effect and giving satisfac-
ton to millions Of people everywhere,
are the products of the knowledge Of
the most eminent physicians, and pre-
scented in the form most acceptable to
the human system by the skill of the
worlds great chemists; and one of the
most successful examples Is the Syrup
Of Figs manufactured by the Califor-
mia Fig Syrup Co. Unlike a host of
limitations and cheap substitutes, Syrup
Of Figs is permanently beneficial in its
effects, and therefore lives and pro-
arations arc being cast aside and for
gotten. In olden times If remedy
gave temporary relief to individuals
here and there, it was thought good;
but nowadays a laxative remedy
must give satisfaction to all. If you
have never used Syrup of Figs, give it
a trial, and you will be pleased with it,
and will recommend it to your friends
or to any who suffer from constipation,
or from overlooking, or from colds,
headaches, biliousness, or other ills re-
sulting from an inactive condition OF
the kidneys, liver and bowels.
in the process Of manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the
California Fig Syrup Co., and named
Syrup Of Figs, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste; but the medicinal
properties Of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally laxa-
tive and to act most beneficially. AS
the true and original remedy, named
Syrup of Figs, Is manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. only, knowl-
edge of that fact will assist in avoid
Ing the worthless limitations manufac-
tured by other parties. The company
has selected for years past the lead
ing publications of the United States
through which to inform the public Of
the merits Of its remedy, and among
them this paper is included, as will be
seen by reference to its advertising COL
