NO RIGHT TO UGLINESS.

The woman who is lovely in face,
form and temper will always have
friends, but one who would be at
tractive must keep her health. If
she is weak, sickly and all run
down she will be nervous and irri-
table. If she has constipation or
kidney trouble, her impure blood
will cause pimples, blotches skin
eruptions and a wretched complex
ion. Electric Bittetrs is the best
medicine in the world to regulate
stomach, liver and kidneys and to
purify the blood. 1t gives strong
nerves, bright eyes, smooth velvety
skin, rich complexion. 1t will
make a good looking, charming
woman of a run down invalid. Only

DARKNESS AND DAWN. "

Darkness and Dawn" " which is
to be one of the features of the
Midway at the Pan-American Ex-
position in Buffalo next year. is a
presentation of Dante's Inferno. 1t
is remarkably realistic, with
enough of comedy TO relieve the
gruesomeness that otherwise might
jar sensitive natures. The visitor
is taken in hand by guides and con-
Quoted to an elevator by which he
seems to go down, down into hope
less darkness. AS he steps from
the cage he finds himself in a cool
retreat with jovial companions,
such as a living skeleton, a widow
In her weeds, and an undertaken or
two. 1t is the threshold of the
place which good people expect to
avoid in the hereafter. The visitor,
under the protection of guides, is
assured of safety. He is led through
series of corridors and grottos,
along burning lakes and other de-
vices of torture, where he may wit
ness TIE punishment of those who
Juggle with the truth, who borrow
umbrellas and neglect to return
them, who gossip about their neigh
bors, and who otherwise trespass
on the rights of others. The lesson
is a salutary one. Presently the
scenes of purgatory are passed and
the visitor comes to the "Grotto of
Dawn, where maidens are dane
ing and singing and wonderful il
lusions greet the eye. The music
and brilliant scenes form happy
ending of the journey. After tar
rying few moments in the grotto
the visitor returns once more TO the
realm Of everyday life.

"a TRIP TO THE MOON.

The Midway at the Pan American
Exposition in Buffalo, in 1901, will
be over half mile long, giving a
mile or more of frontage for the
wonderful variety of novel enter
tainments there to be presented.
1t will Outrival in interest and eX-
tent anything ever created in this
line. 1t willa.include some of the
best standard attractions, vastly
improved, and a strong array of
new ones fresh from the fertile
brain of the inventor and artificer.
1t will be a display of ingenuity
impossible to anticipate by any
process of extIavagant reasoning or
guessing. Who but a professional
of ripe experience could have placed
"a Trip to the Moo?" The voy-
ger is direct d to go aboard the
airship 'Lun; > moored at a conven-
lent landing. 1t is light, and the
heavens sparkle with myriad of
stars. When all is ready the cables
are thrown off and the ship rises
steadily to a height of about two
miles. The air is clear, and you
can see many lights on earth be-
low. We now pass eastward over
Rochester, Albany, and then SOUTH
ward over New York. The earth
now falls rapidly behind. We are
going at a terrific velocity, as
noted by the resistance of the air,
which seems TO blow hard i'm our
faces. The earth becomes a large
ball and moon grows larger. We
are fast nearing the satellite, and
soon find the ship moored to a
landing i'm the moon. Guides re-
celve us and show us the palace of
the Man i'm the Moon. His majesty
receives the party, bidding them
welcome and according them the
freedom of his domains. We are
then shown about the splendid
palace and through the streets of
the City of the Moon. The ladies
are especially interested in the
show windows of the moon shops.
The trip may be made with entire
safety, and the return to earth
leaves one with the remembrance
of having passed through won
derful experience.

BOTH GLADIATORs GONE.
Death of Huntington Recalls Con-
test He Had with GOebel.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 1.-THE death
of Coils P Huntington has led somebody
to recall the fact that he and the late
William Goebel of Kentucky locked horns
a few years ago in one of the greatest
struggles between corporation and anti
corporation influences which any state has
known
The most important link in many ways
in Huntington's plan for a huge trans
continental railroad, connecting San
Francisco with Newport News, was the
Cincinnati and Ohio, which was charter
ed in Kentucky. AS member of the state
Senate, Goebel fathered measure which
sought to forfeit the charter of this rail-
road.
AT first the big railroad magnate laugh
ed a Goebel, but he soon found he was
up against a hard proposition and person.

Blue Grass state. Then began contest
which was even fiercer in some respects
than that between Goebel and the Louis
Vile and Nashville Railroad, which real
ly eliminated in the death of the one-day
governor
Goebel won, he did In all of his fights
before the Legislature. The result was
that Huntington was glad to dispose of
his railroad in Kentucky and had TO aban-
con the most gigantic transportation
scheme of the Huntington brain.

MUCH MORE BEFORE POWERS.
Germany Feels There Is IA Great
Deal to BE Done in China De-
fore All Is Settled

Berlin Aug. 1.-THE news regarding the
entrance into Pekin was further con-
firmed to-day by two kilograms received
by the Japanese legation in Berlin. one
dated Aug. IA. saying that the allied
forces were only ten miles from the capt.
tai and the other briefly announcing that
they had entered.
This evening the German press accepts
the fall of Pekin as a fact. While ex-
pressing joy at the happy discharge Of one
part of the China programme the papers
point out that there is much left to do.
The Berliner Post says:
"A great thing has been done, but
greater thing must be done before the
all!ied Powers will be satisfied. II remains
to obtain redress for attacks upon the le
cations and other wrongs. particularly
abe assassination of the German minis
ter, and to install a government which
will punish the guilty and give ample
guarantees against the recurrence OF sim
liar crimes"
The National Zeitung the Fresinnige
Zeitung and the Nossische Zeitung ex-
press themselves in a similar strain.
Referring to a number of special dis
patches appearing in German papers.
Whicn claim that the United states gov
eminent, now that the members of the
foreign legations are relieved, is to with
draw from the international undertaking.
a high official of the German foreign Of
flee said this evening:
The Washington government has as
sured the other Powers of its willingness
to cooperate in carrying out a joint pro-
gramme. This assurance has sufficed so
far and will continue to suffice in spite OF
newspaper stories to the contrary"
Mr. John B. Jackson, United States
charge d'affaires, when his attention was
CALLED to these specials, said:
The United States government has act
ed with the greatest harmony regarding
China with Germany from the outset. In
fact up to Pekin the Powers are all
agreed, but beyond that no agreement has
even been attempted The future must be
left TO new diplomatic negotiations

the past several weeks, when affairs
abroad have been so critical, the Presi-

course, discaimed any thought of criticism,

even in the idlest terms, is lese majestic.

MAY HAVE REACHED LIMIT.
Some Think the Decline in Prices
WIFI Go No Further

New York, Aug. H.-Dun's Weekly Re-
view of Trade tomorrow will say: At
ter great wave of advancing prices, OPP
timism as TO business is generally dan
gerous. But the top was reached the
middle OF March, since which time reac-
ton has come in every great industry, SO
that consumers are asking whether in
some directions the decline may not have
been unreasonable large, as was the adj
vance, and whether buying on the pres
ent basis of prices is not fairly sure.
There are further evidences of weakness
in raw materials, notably the break in
structural iron, but each is availed of to
place heavy contracts.
New York is welcoming buyers from all
over the country in larger numbers than
for many years at this season, in dry
goods, groceries, in jewelry and in hard
ware; and If contracts are not placed to
as large volume as expected by this
time Ii is because of conservatism of
those who think they may compel some
further shading of prices. Reports this
week from other important points of dis
tribution show the same eagerness to buy
when the time seems right.
II is becoming more apparent that the
bottom has been reached in prices of iron
and steel. The decline was severe, and
recovery must he SOW. but gradual ad-
vances and moderately increasing activity
are more healthy than violent changes.
In no single division is the Improvement
more striking than in any other. Except
steel rails all forms of iron, from the
ore to the finished produc' are being
sought more eagerly and wi h less effort
to secure further concessions in price.
The first effect of the official report Of
wheat conditions, indicating total crop
of only 51Ss97,000 bushels, was to strength
en- prices, but when the Secretary of Ag-
riculture was repor ed as predicting IDOL
lar wheat before the end of the year,
the market showed en- inclination to dis
agree, and the September option fell be-
low so cents al New York for the first
time in two months.
