POINTS OF EXCELLENCE
Few Reasons Which Are Rapid.
Making a New Catnrrh Cure
Famous.

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. the new Ca
tarrh cure, has the following advantages
over other catarrh remedies:
First: These tablets contain no cocaine,
morphine or any other injurious drug and
are as safe and beneficial for children as
for adults; this is an important point
when it is recalled that many catarrh
remedies do contain these very objec-
tionai ingredients
Next: Being in tablet form this remedy
does not deteriorate with age, or an ex-
posture to the air as liquid preparations
invariably do.
Next The tablet form not only pre-
serves the medicinal properties but it is
so far more convenient to carry and TO
use at any time that it is only a question
of time when the tablet will entirely
supcrsede liquid medicines as it has
already done in the medical department
of the United States Army.
Next: No secret is made Of the compo-
stion of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets; they
contain the active principle of Eucalyptus
bark, red gum blood root and Hydrastin.
ali harmless antiseptics which, however.
are death to catarrhal germs wherever
round. because they eliminate them from
the blood.
Next: You cannot cure catarrh by local
applications to the nose and throat. be-
and such treatment cannot possibly reach
the real seat of catarrhal disease which
is the blood: for this reason. inhalers.
douches. sprays and powders never really
cure catarrf. but simply give temporary
relief which n 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
nnlxs L. ipA whit nt hs, In cd
the blood.
S;uart's Catarrh Tablets do this better
than the old form of treatment because
they contain every safe specific known to
modern science in the antiseptic treat
ment Of the disease.
Next: The use of inhaiers, and spraying
apparatuses. besides being ineffective and
disappointing is expensive. while COM
plete treatment Of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets can be had at any drug store in the
United States and Canada for so cents.

Burton Holmes at Oberammergau.
During the past summer among other
places visited by Burton Holmes. no spot
offered greater attractions than oberam-
mergau and its play and people. Mr..
Holmes went to Oberammergau about the
middle Of May and stayed there several
weeks, seeing the first presentation of the
present decade and many subsequent pre-
sensations. remaining in and near ODER
ammrgau for number of weeks To say
that he here found ample material for
both pen and camera and motion picture
machine but mildly expresses the wealth
of material found on every hand. AS
result this lecture, both from the interest
in the subject itself, in its wonderful in
depreciation by the villagers. and in the
mastery treatment it has received at the
hands of Mr.. Holmes. will doubtless prove
to be the artistic climax OF the series he
is Offering his patrons this season. ODER

The Nntionai-Mr.. Leslie Carter.

The NatiOnal-Mrs. Leslie Carter.
Mrs. Leslie Carter. will come to the New
National next Monday, and during the
week will be seen here for the last time
as Zaza. Judging from the advance in
terest, there is no wane in the popularity
Of this star and her play. The desire to
enjoy her thrilling acting is as great as
last year, when she played to the thea
tres capacity. This enthusiasm may be
due partly to the announcement that
these are to be Mrs. Carter's farewell ap-
pearances in the Capital as Zaza, and
partly to the extraordinary success of her
recent London season.
Washington can scarcely expect any
great change in Mrs Carter's careful i'm
PRESERVATION, but IL there Is any desire to
pay personal tribute to the one Ameri-
can actress who on both sides of the ocean
has been termed great. that desire may be
gratified at the New National during the
week to come. So much has been written
Of Mrs. Carter's creation OF David Belas-
co.'s heroine, that there Is small oppor-
tunity to add to the praises this city has
bestowed upon her. 1t Is sufficient that
1t remains the same thrilling vivid
achievement, with perhaps the added per-
lection OF having played the character
throughout two seasons. The humor tn.
pathos, the tragic impetuosity of her in
personation are well known, and have
commanded admiration wherever the ac-
tress has appeared. The Washington per-
formances will have the benefit of David
Belasco's personal attention, and will
present the same cast and effects seen
here on two previous occasions. The 6ne
matinee Of the week will be played on
Saturday. The seat sale will begin this
morning.

CUBAN POSTAL FRAUDS.

Washington. May 15.-The Cuban
postal frauds was practically the only
subject of discussion at the cabinet
meeting. No late news has been re-
ceived which throws any additional
light oil the situation. and 1t Is not
expected that anything conclusive will
be known until the experts now on
their way to Havana have concluded
their investigation and made their re-
port.
The suspension of Postmaster
Thompson was a great surprise to the
president and to the members of the
cabinet. News of the suspension Of
Postmaster Thompson was received by
Postmaster General Emery Smith and
by him reported to the cabinet. 1t was
evident from General Woods telegram
that Irregularities, at least, had been
found in Postmaster Thompson's ac-
counts.
Mr.. Thompson, 1t Is said, had been
prominently connected with the Indian
apOlis postOffice for many years, and
was selected as postmaster at Havana
because of his special knowledge of
the business and his unQuestioned in

of increasing the width to double the

bound vessels may take one route and
down-bound craft the other, thus OBJ

There will be provision for continued

Pierce and the labor unions if such
controversy should arise.
