Deafh,s Betroihal.

A few years ago a New York newspaper
conducted an open discussion upon the
topic: "Is Marriage a Failure?" The
answer is easy and upon the surface Where
there is mutual love and respect, if there is
also health, marriage is a success. When
health is left out, even the most ardent love
does not count, and marriage is invariably
a failure.
Modern science has cried the warning
so often that all should realize the dangers
of wedlock to people in ill-health. In a
case of this kind death turks on every side
in the kiss Of betrothal and the caress Of
the honeymoon. The man who Is suffering
from ill-health is a physical bankrupt, and
has no right to condemn woman to be his
nurse for life and the mother Of babes that
inherit his physical weakness. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery acts directly on
the digestive organism. II makes il strong
and its action perfect. When mans di.
gestion IS all right his blood will be pure
when his blood is pure his nervous system
will be strong and his health vigorous

the cause, but It has confirmed the ord

follows:

Associated Press. 1.-The event Of the
week has been the arrival Of the Uni

plague in Honolulu, the Grant was
obliged TO put in here for coal. Per-
mission having been granted by the
authorities, a dress parade Of the regi-
Hent was held this afternoon and a
great crowd witnessed the unusual
spectacle Of an armed body of Ameri-
can soldiery landing upon the shores
of Japan.
The entire disappearance of the
plague from Kobe and the occurrence
of no more sporadic cases in other
parts OF the empire, its rayages being
now confined entirely to the city Of
Osaka. is a fact attracting much atten-
ton.
In the latter city it has assumed its
most dangerous form, that Of lung at
tack. and has thus become the very
breadth of pestilsnce. In spite Of this.
however, only 80 cases have occurred
there.
The diet begins it's sessions on the
18th. Among the measures to be in
troduced is one for the amendment OF
the criminal code. the provisions Of
which will be watched with great In
terest by the now exceedingly appre-
hensive foreign community.
