RELICS OF THE LAST WAR
The National Museum Making a
Complete Collection.
The Addition Due to The Efforts of
DIR. William II. Holmes and Prof.
the Island of Porto Rico to Gather
Specimens of the Native Fauna.

The collection OF relics now in ne Ma
iioual Museum pertaining 10 the late war
with Spain promises to be one of great in
terest and extent. The further additions
that may be made to the collection will de-
pend upon the munificence and generosity
Of tho Navy OF War department or Of
private individuals. to which sources the
collection already owes some OF its most
valued objects.
1t is TO the Smithsonian Institution, how
ever. and TO DR.. William II. Holmes in
particular. that the credit OF the collection
is due. During the month OF July, 1898,
DR.. Holmes. head curator Of the division Of
anthropology in the National Museum. con-
ceiyed the idea of collecting relics pertain
ing to the war with Spain. With that end
in view. he gained the consent OF the sec
rotary of the Smithsonian Institution. Prof
s. p. Langley, to detail Mr.. Paul Beck
worth, superintendent OF the historical de-
partment, to proceed to Cuba and Porto
Rico.
Mr.. Beckworth first proceeded TO Porto
Rico. and after thoroughly searching for
Characteristic objects of interest, continued
at once to Cuba. finally returning to the
United States in February, 1899. Most OF
the collection was formed by Mr.. Beck
worth In this way. though many articles
OF great value especially captured cannon
and large number OF small arms, were
presented by the Navy and War depart
ments.
1t is likewise owing TO Prof. Langley
that the interesting collection OF animals
which will form the latest addition to the
National Geological Park was collected
from Porto Rico The professor was noti-
fled by The United States Fish Commission
that its vessel. the Fish Hawk. was about
TO start for that island. and that space |
was available for 4 scientist OF the Insti- |
tuition. |
The invitation was accepted and Mr. A. /
d. Baker. Superintendent of the Geological /
Park, was detailed to accompany the -x- |
petition, with the result that the Park will |
shortly contain very complete collection |
OF the fauna OF Porto Rico.

Described by Symptoms.

Hosts of people suffer from the
various malignant poisons in their
blood, which produce or result
from catarrh. Many other per-
sons suffer from nervous diseases,
liver diseases, kidney diseases.
and skin diseases, as the result of
irritating crystal poisons in the
blood. a majority of such suf-
ferers do not have a definite I'M
derstanding of the nature of their
affection. The following symp-
toms have been arranged by us
to enable sufferers to understand
just what it is that ails them.
The proper course of those af-
fected is this: Read the symp-
toms carefully over; mark those
that apply to your case, and bring
this with you to Doctors of this
institution.

on Good Terms.

on tsOpd
BUFFALO. y. Y, Jan. f5.-Tom Shar-
key and his manager. Tom o'Rourke, came
together here yesterday for the first time
since their reported separation and after
a private talk made it evident that their
old relations we're restored. O'Rourke ar
rived in town at 4:l5 o'clock with "Mys-
FERROUS" Billy Smith, the welterweight
champion. who is to fight RUDE Ferns at
the Hawthorne Club tomorrow night.
While at the Tiff House O'Rourke was in
formed that Sharkey had come in from
the West and was at the City Hotel.
O'Rourke made an appointment to meet
the sailor at the Grand Central Station at
o'clock. They met and shook hands in
the centre of n large crowd. Then fighter
and manager moved to q saloon across the
way and exchanged explanations Of their
recent differences.
''You go to Philadelphia this week. was
O'Rourke's instruction TO Sharkey. Then
you go on to Boston 10 box You'll meet
Dixon in Boston,"
Sharkey said the misunderstanding be-
tween him and O'Rourke amounted TO
nothing, due to the fact that he was so
eager to meet Jenres again that he was
willing to fight without o'Rourke in his !
corner.
"O'R0urke will continue to manage my |
affairs" Sharkey said. We are the best !
OF friends and he'll be on hand when !
whip Jeffries again and this time I'll get |
the decision"

dered ruthlessly, perhaps, despite the
manifesto just issued in connection with
the bonding bill by two members of the
board of supervisors of the county. In
brief. Mr.. Douglas declared he was against
the bill because of lack of proper protec-
;icn of the peoples money.
DR.. J. Taber johnson and R. A. Phillips
made brief remarks. They both favored
the proposition with slight amendments.
Mr.. Phillips. however, offered a substi-
tute proposition, which. he declared would
prevent much of the present opposition to
the project. In its present form" said Mr.
Phillips. the people will not vote for the
bill TO bond Alexandria county. 1t is too
broadly drawn. entirely"
Supervisor ID. n Rust the minority
member of the board, recorded himself
against the proposition. He stated that the
county is now over $1,000 in debt on ac-
count Of roads. and that he does not be-
lieve in increasing this debt at the present
time
NJ 3. Harlow said that too much haste
had been shown in forcing the matter to
close. lie suggested delay in the final de-
cision and offered a resolution calling a
special meeting Of the full board for Mon
day afternoon next to consider and reach
a conclusion on the question.
In agreeing TO the suggestion of Mr..
Harlow, Mr. Davis made a briei address,
during which he was thrice interrupted by
Mr.. Hobson and by member of the board
of supervisors. both OF whom were anxious
TO force an adjournment Becoming indig-
nant. Mr. Davis said: Mr. Chairman |

ments made by the majority members OF
the board of supervisors. Two members of
that board have issued n signed statement
alleging to show how carefully how justly
this large sum of $4,000 will be expended
for the benefit of the county which they
represent. But. gentlemen. the people shall
have show in this matter, and at the

THE BASEBALL TROUBLES.
Plans for u Circuit of Twcuty-Four
Clubs i'm Three Sections.


! NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE action of the
new American Association promoters in
leasing Charles River Park. in Boston,
was a big surprise. and possibly served as
block for the time being. But The
League men believe that if they can build
up national circuit. to comprise twenty
! four clubs. divided into three sections. the
| most powerful of which will comprise Bos-
ton. Brooklyn, New York. Philadelphia
| Chicago. Cincinnati Pittsburg. and Sc.
Louis. there will be no territory left for
the Association. In other words. the
Lergue does not care TO let outsiders into
the game which they have controlled and
mismanaged for so long. By turning over
Washington. Baltimore. and the right to
have another club in Philadelphia in the
Eastern League while the American
League can take in Louisville and Cleve-
land in the West, the circuit schemers
feel quite sure that opposition from any
quarter will not amount to much.
President Quinn. OF the American Asso-
citation. says that the organization has es-
tablished clubs in seven cities-C Chicago.
st. Louis. Milwaukee. Detroit. Boston.
Philadelphia. and New York. 1t is said
that Baltimore is wanted to complete the
circuit. and that efforts will be made to
induce McCraw. Robinson. and other play
ers to desert the owners OF the Baltimore
Club. II is said that Arson will have
talk with McGraw about the matter this |
week. MCGraw is quoted as saying that
If he received assurances that the new as
ISOLATION had money behind 1t, he would /,
