POINTS OF EXCELLENCE.
4 Few Reasons which Are Rapidiy
Making "A New Catarrh Cure


Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the new Ca
tarrh cure, has the following advantages
over other eatarrh remedies:
First: These tablets contain no cocaine,
morphine or any other Injurious crgg and
are as safe and beneficial for children as
fer adults: this IS an important point
when it is recalled that many eatarrh
remedies do contain these very objee-
tionaI ingredients.
Next: Being in tablet form this remedy
does not deteriorate with age. or an ex-
posure to the air as liquid preparations
invariably do.
Next: The tablet form not only pre-
serves the medicinal properties but il is
50 far more convenient to carry and TO
use at any tine that it is only a question
Of time when the tablet Will entirely
supersede liquid medicines as Il has
already done in the medical depar tnlent
of the United States Army.
Next: No secret is made OF the eompo
sitio1 of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets; they
contain the active principle of Eucalyptus
bark, red gum blood root and Hydrastin-
all harmless antisepties which, however,
are death TO catarrhal germs wherever
found because they eliminate them from
the blood
Next: You cannot cure eatarrh by local
applications 10 the nose and throat, be-
cause these are simply local symptoms
the real seat of catarrhal disease which
is the blood; for this reason, inhalers,
deUches. sprays and powders never really
cure catarrh, but simply give temporary
relief which a dose of plain salt and wa
ter Will do just as well.
Catarrh must be driven out of the sys-
TEN. out of the blood, by an internal
remedy because an internal remedy is the
only kind which can be assimilated into
the blood
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets do this better
than the old form OF treatment because
they contain every safe specific known TO
modern science in the antiseptie treat
ment OF the disease
Next: The use of inhalers, and spraying
apparatuses, besides being ineffective end
disappointing is expensive while a COM
piete treatment of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets can be had at any drug store in the
United States and Canada for so cents.

Gsnrge Hoode. who was visiting the fami-

that he mad seen vision of his wife. who

FIGHTING FOR Her BONNET.
Boston WonsaR Insists Upon Wear

ing Il Hat in the Theatre.
BOSTON. Dec I3--Mrs W F. ADfhoTp.
wife Of a musical critic. has taken I'D the
fight in behalf OF the theatre hat. End in
two days she has caused sensation in
two theatres. Monday evening she left
the Hollis Street Theatre rather than re-
move her hat when requested to by he
management. and last evening she follow
ed up the assault and hat on head went
to the Museum.
Manager Field saw her and to avoid
trouble invited her to his box. where she
sat behind the curtains. Still wearing her
hat while Mr.. ApthoTD remained in his
orchestra chair Mrs. Apthorp makes the
surprising statement that she mas teen
wearing the same hat for two or three
years. and tf-St not GHtii Monday evening
was any objection raised
She asserts that the law allows her tie
privilege of wearing small hat at the
theatre and that the management of the
Hollis Street Theatre has nisauoted the
law in its programme
Waen the Boston City Council passed az
snti-theatre hat ordinance three years
ago Mrs Apthorp, Mrs. John L. Gardner
and others made a protest. The passage in
the city CT Boston revised regulations CT
august ., 1898, chapter s. relating to the
covering of the head in places OF public
amusement, says:
Every Hcensee shall not in his place
CT amusement allow any person to wear
upon the head covering which obstructs
the view of the exhibition or performance
in such place Of any person seated in any
seat therein provided for spectators. il
being understood that a low head cover
ing without projection, which does not OBJ
struet such view, may be worn
Mrs Apthorp says "A rule forbidding
the wearing of every sort Of hat, bonnet
or other headge4r seems to me on a par
with the rule IN some London theatres
which enforces the wearing Of evening
dress. Such rule seems TO me contrary
to the spirit OF our American institu-
tons"
Mrs. Apthorp says she will see the man
ayers OF the theatres and will probably
settle the natter one Hav or the. nfller.

BRYAN AND THE FARMERS.
SCOTS COMMENTS ON THE
SILVER MANS SPEECHES IN MARY

VIRGINIA.

Members Of the Republican National COMMITTEES
in the headquarters at No. Madson-aYe yester-
day expressed surprise at Mr. Bryan's speeches IN
West Virginia. II was expected By the committee
men generally that the burden Of his discouTses in

Administrations. He tells them that the times are

He also promises to give them more money our

ity of standing up before the farmers and telling
them that they are not prosperous in the face OF
such figures these is amazing.
The chances of the third National ticket Cafrery

quarters The general sentiment was that Il was
rather late In the day for ,he beginning Of

for the third ticket would probably be small The
committeeman take the ground, however that It is
never wise to treat any political movement with
contempt. A few thousand votes attracted away
