There is more Catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sciene
has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tlonal disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatmnnt. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. l..
Cheney q Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts di-
rectly on the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars any testimon-
ials.

What Makes Be0utu :?

Beauty is made or marred by the blood.
When the blood is impure, the cheeks
grow sallow, the eyes dull, the hair loses
its luster. When the blood flows through
the veins in a pure, rich current, the
eyes sparkle, the skin is clear, the COM
plexion beautiful. Women who use DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, find
that it is a genuine beautiier. By puri-
flying and enriching the blood it puts a
bloom on the cheek and brightness in
the eye, which tell the story of perfect
health.

The officeseeker has been very much in
evidence at the District Building ever since
the organization of the new Board of Com
missioners. An impression seemed to seize
the residents of the District that because
Congress had provided for the reorganiza-
ton of the School Board, for a new method
of collecting and disposing of garbage, and
for few additions to the Police Depart
ment, that no end of places were available
for those who wished to serve the District
for snug compensation.
Each of the Commissioners is Obliged to
spend several hours every day in receiving
and listening to the claims of ofhceseek-
ers, to the delay of the public business.
Delegations call, and individuals are found
hourly in waiting
Commissioner Macfarland has been spe:
cially busy ever since he came into Office
in listening TO the friends Of rival candi-
dates for appointment on the School Board.
Commissioner Ross has been visited daily
by scores OF applicants for positions on the
police force or in the garbage service.

1t is understood that the slate for that

The last appointment was decided upon
yesterday, and the only vacancies in the

AN EARTHQUAKE FELT AT SEA

peculiar phenomenon last evening. 1t

schooner San Jose. The wind at the time

there was only a moderate swell on.
Suddenly the sea to the southwark was

was blowing. but the wind did not increase
as an immense wave approached the yes
sci. The ship was tossed about for over
two hours in sea that would bury her in
the water and then again lift her up and

clear over her. After this had continued
for about two hours it subsidized as quickly
as 1t had arisen. and the wind Immediately
shifted from south to east. then in a short
time to northwest. going almost around
the compass in a few hours. The wind

sire which animates it to draw still more
closely upon solid commercial foundations
the fraternal bonds which happily have
thus far united them. The different pro-
auctions of both countries, as well as their

believe that 1t would be of mutual adj
vantage for both countries to celebrate

the good and cordial relations which have
united them. l am especially charged to
present to your excellency, in the name of
the President of the Dominican Republic,
his most sincere Wishes as well as my

topsails during the night, but no injury
was done to her. Captain Hamilton and
CAPTAIN Cordiner at first thought that
tidal wave was coming. but the long sue
cession OF big waves leads them to the be-
lief that there must have been an earth
quake in that vicinity.
The self-recording Government barome-
ter in the office OF Weather Observer John
son OF this city shows that about 4 O'Clock
yesterday morning there was an electrical
or seismic disturbance in this vicinity and
the telegraph wires also gave evidence Of
1t at the same time. While the ship was
experiencing the waves OF the mouth Of
the river the barometer remained steady.
This would indicate that the waves re-
suited from an earthquake that happened
early In the morning. and az the effect Of
an earthquake In Japan Is felt here ten
days later 1t can be estimated how far
