A DAILY NUISANCE.
A Simple Remedy Which Will Interest
Catarrfl Sufferers.

In its early stages catarrh is more of
nuisance than a menace to the gem
eral health but sooner or later, the dis
ease extends to the throat, bronchial
tubes, and even to the stomach and in
testiaes
Catarrh is essentially a disease Of the
mucous membrane, the local symptoms
being a prOfuSe discharge of mucuS,
stoppage of the nostrils, irritation in
throat, causing coughing, sneezing,
gagging and frequent clearings Of the
throat and head
The usual treatm by local douches,
snufs, salves, etc, often gives tempo
rary relief but anything like a cure can
only be obtained by a treatment which
removes the catarrhal faint from the
blood and the disappearance of the in
Illumination from the mucous surfaces.
A new remedy which meets these re-
quiremcntS and which so far has been
remarkably successful in curing catarrh
is Stuart's CataTrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membranes only. They can
hardly be called q secret patent medi-
cine, as they are composed of such val
liable remedies as Sanguinaria, Hy-
drastin, Eucalyptol. and similar cleans
ing antiseptics, which cure by eliminat-
ing from the blood and mucous sur
faces the catarrhal poison.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges taken inter
nally, allowing them to dissolve slowly
in the mouth, in this way they reach
the throat, fauces and the entire ali
| mentary canal.
If desired, they may also be dissolved
in water and used as douche, in aodi-
tion to the internal use, but it is not at
all necessary to use a douche; few of
/ lh"m dissolved in the mouth daily will
be sufficient. However, when there is
nue. Stoppage of the nose, a douche
made from these tablets will give i'm
mediate relief, but the regular daily
| use internally of these tablets will cure
| the whole catarrhal trouble, without re-
sorting to the inconvenience of a
! dOuche.
Dr. Bement states that 1.-THE internal
| treatment for catarrh is rapidly taking
the place of the old plan of douching,
and local application" and further says
that probably the best and certainly
the safest remedy at present on the
market is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, as
no secret is made of their composition,
and all the really efficient remedies for
catarrh are contained in this tablet.
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets at so cents for full sized packages.
Ask your druggist, and if he is honest,
he will tell you there is no safer, more
palatable, more efficient and convenient
| remedy on the market.

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS

The first stage rehearsal for the pro
duction of the opera La Fiesta de San
Xavier will be conducted tonight. The
opera will be put on Wednesday and
Thursday nights of next week and the
sale of seats opens Saturday morning.
When the opera was first produced in
San Diego, the San Francisco Chronicle
printed the following as a part of a
special dispatch: 1.-The performance was
easily the most important amateur
event in the musical history of this city
for it demonstrated that there is justice
in San Diego's claims to being must
cal center, and brought favorably into
public notice Owen Foster, a young
composer, whom San Diegans regard as
the Reginald de Koven of the Pacific
Coast. Associated with Foster in the
construction of the opera was Miss
Grace Bowers, a daughter of ex-Con-
gresham Bowers, who wrote the book.
Almost a hundred took part in the af
fair and San Diego society crowded the
opera house. The play was received
with a great deal of enthusiasm and the
principals We're given an ovation. Miss
Bowers and Mr.. Foster were called out
before the curtain by the audience"
Saturday night Mr.. James O'NeiH and
his company will be seen in THE Mus
keteers' at the Grand Opera House.
Sydney Grundy is the author of this
new adoption of Dumas immortal story
and with Beerb0hm Tree and Jas. O'Neill
respectively, in the role of DArtagnan,
this version held the boards for nine
months in the two great metropolises of
the world. 1t is not always that the
theatrical taste is the same in London
and New York, but the intrinsic merit
of this play was SO great, that no geo.
graphical condition could interfere with
its prosperity. AS a production, also, it
is said to be the peer of any similar at
traction on the road. Liebler & Co., the
managers. have absolutely spared no
expense in making the scenic investi-
ture as costly and artistic as good mon
ey and good taste could do it.
The company that put on"Quo Vadis'
in this city Tuesday night will be re-
sponsible for matinee and evening
performance Saturday. The prices at
night will be rs, so and 25 cents, and in
the afternoon % and Is cents.

SHOULD WE PAY ENGLAND's
BILLS.

GFrom the Chicago Inter-Ocean.1
Gaunt famine stalks through India.
Nearly 100000 persons are kept alive
by public charity. and the worst is yet
to come. American missionaries are
calling on this country to save the
starving. Lady Curzon, the Chicago
wife OF the British viceroy, has made
a special appeal for aid to her native
city. A local committee proposes to
raise $4,000 in Chicago. Similar efforts
are making elsewhere. The state of
Kansas is relied on for 100 car loads of
corn. Other states in the grain belt
are expected to make similar contribu-
lions. The distress in India is undoubt-
eddy very great. The famine promises
to be the worst since British rule began.
What is our duty in the premises as
Americans?
England has spent fully $500. 900. 900
to subjugate the Beers and expects to
spend at least $500, OO0 900 more this
year for the same purpose, but she has
no millions to spare for India The
English people raise vast sums to care
for the widows and orphans of men
who have been sacrificed to exterminate
republican institutions in South Africa,
but their own wards are left to the raw
ages of famine in Asia. England has
plenty of means to pay for shooting
freemen and crushing republics, but
only a few thousand pounds to save the
lives OF English subjects in Hindoostan.
England is one of the richest two ma
lions on the globe. but she is devoting
her wealth to a land grabbing cam
paign, and hence Americans are re-
Quested to attend to her plain duties
for her.
Suppose we respond to the appeal
and come to India's relief. Shall we
not, by doing in India what England
should do, aid in assuring her the free
hand in the Orange Free State and the
Transvaal? Shall we not. by assuming
England's duty toward India, indirectly
help her in the subjugation of the Boei
freemen? Is that an object to which
any liberty-loving American cares tc
give his money? Should we help Eng
land to husband her resources for the
oppression of the Beers by paying hei
charity bills in India? These are as.
poets Of the case which seem worthy
of serious consideration.

after. There is starvation in Porto

Every day or two some candidate for

do so. My friends should be free to
