TO ASK FOR INDEMNITY FROM HONDURAS.
REDRESS SOUGHT FOR THE KILLING OF AN
AMERICAN NAMED PEARS

Washington Feb. 22-After investigation OF the
facts connected with the killing OF the young
American Pears, in Honduras about year ago
the State Department has come to the conclusion
that the case warrants formal request for IN
dernnity from the Government Of Honduras, and
Minister Hunter VIII be instructed accordingly.
Pears killed by sentinel as an incident TO
the close of a revolution in Honduras The Gov
eminent Of Honduras alleges that he disregarded
the sentneTs challenge halt, but It appears that
Pears was at a considerable distance from the
sentinel; that he did understand the challenge,
and that he killed out OF bounds, so 10 speak,
and unwarranta5ly, in the opinion Of this Govern
nent Il Is believed that the indemnity demanded
viii be about $4,000. This appears 70 be rather a
low estimate Of the value Of human life, but Il Is
pointed out by the State Department officials that
this Government has fixed a much lower rate in
where il has paid indemnity for the killing
of foreigners.

No Longer Good Form.

Gossip has gone out. 1t is no longer
considered good form to backbite. This,
comments the New York Home Jour-
nal, is good news, and the best of it is
that there is really modicum Of truth
il it. There is a better social atmos-
phere in this respect than there was a
decade ago. This is to some extent
due to the preachers, but still more
largely to the general growth of culture
and to the interest in athletics "Peo-
pie Will talk" and when they had moth
ing but their neighbors TO talk about
they soon exhausted the good things
they could say about them and fell
back on the bad. But society has a
great many interests now that are not
merely personal, and the conversations
level has risen. Where Mrs. Grundy
used to retail disagreeable rumors about
Mr. and Mrs. Brown-Jones, she now
talks about puts and tees and bunkers.
Mrs. Grundy has travelled, too, and she
Is too full of trayel-talk to gossip very
much. She realizes. too, that there is
a certain lack of dignity in making
other peoples actions the subject Of
comment and so she lets them severely
alone This is extremely encouraging,
for il once evil speaking can become
questionable. Mephistopheles will lose
a winning card.

One Woman Who Has Done Great
Deal TO Put Down This Evil.
Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 8, 19O0.-
Especial. )-When the Independent Or
der of Good Templars of Minnesota
wanted a State Organizer. they chose
Mrs. Laura j. Smith of 1917 West SD
street, this city. The American Anti
Treat League also selected Mrs. Smith
as National Organizer. The reason is
not far TO seek. This gifted woman
has devoted her life TO battle against
Drink and Drinking Habits. Her infiu-
ence for good in Minnesota is and has
been very far reaching.
About two years ago, however, II
seemed as If this noble woman would
have to give up her philanthropic
work. Severe pains in her back and
under her shoulder blades, made life
burden and work impossible. Physi-
clans were consulted, and they pre-
scribed for Kidney Disease. Three
months treatment, however, failed to
give Mrs Smith any relief. Her hus-
band was much exercised, and cast
about him for something that would
restore his good wife TO health and
strength. He heard of the cures eff
fected by Dodd's Kidney Pills, and adj
vised her to try them, which she did.
She is now a well woman and says:
1.-Two weeks after | commenced TAX
ing Dodd's Kidney Pills | felt much
better. and at the end of seven weeks
was completely cured. | have had no
recurrence of the trouble, but | take a
pill off and on, and find that it keeps
me in good health"
Dodd's Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers at so cents box.
They are easily within the reach of
all. and no woman can afford to suffer,
when such a simple and sure Remedy
is at hand

it was removed 10 and behold crowded
