TIE story is brought from Porto
Rico by Judge Salzberger, the Ameri-
can member of the Porto Rico court,
that the four Porto Rico judges turn
him down every time, appearing to
have formed sort of com bine against
him. They are able lawyers, he says,
but adhere to the old Spanish forms
and decisions. while he wants to in
lect some United States into the court
proceedings and decisions OF the is
land. The native jurists are fearful.
perhaps, that they may become i'm bued
with the American idea of plain
duty" in the matter of good faith with
dependencies, without knowing it.

The transport Buffalo started from
the Brooklyn navy yard last week on
one of the longest trips ever under
taken by an American government
vessel. Her destination is Manila,
and scorning the shorter route through
the Mediterranean and the Suez canal,
she will drive due south to the Cape
of Good Hope, and the extreme south
of Africa, and then head east across
the Pacific. When her anchor is drop
ped in Manila bay some time early in
March, the Buffalo will have travelled
20, 600 miles of ocean. She carries on
board, in addition to her own crew of
200 men, some 500 landsmen. 1t is
largely for their benefit that she takes
the long ocean route. BY so doing
she saves the $5, 900 that she would
have to pay at the toll gate of the
orient, the Sucz canal. But her officers
are more concerned with the making
of men than with the saving of money,
and when the Buffalo arrives in Manila
the 500 landsmen will be 500 sailors,
and will take their places on board

A BILL has been introduced in the
house to increase the salary of the
vice-president from $8. 600 to $25, coo,
and the salaries of the mem bers of
the cabinet from $500 to $15, ,OCO.
The reason given for the increase is
that the social demands for the offices
named are such as to require expendi-
lures in excess of the present salaries.

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Twentyfive Years Constant Use
 Without 9 Failure.


 The first indication of croup IS hoarseness, and in a cbild subject to that disease it may be taken as a sure sign of the approach of an attack. Following this hoarseness is peculiar rough cough. If Chamberiain's Cough Remedy is given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croup cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is used in many thous- ands of homes in thIs broad land and never disappointed the anxious mother. We have yet to learn of a single instance in which It has not proved effectual. No other preperatIon can show such 8 record-twenty-five years constant use without failure. For sale by St. Johns Drug Co.
