Only a Mask.

Many are not being benefited by the
summer vacation as they should be.
Now, Notwithstanding much outdoor
life, they are little if any stronger than
they were. The tan on their faces is
darker and makes them look healthier,
but it is only a mask. They are still
nervous, easily tired, upse- by trifies,
and they do not eat nor sleep well.
What they need is what tones the
nerves. perfects digestion, creates appe-
ti6e, and makes sleep refreshing, and
that is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Pupils and
teachers generally will find the chief
puSpose of the vacation best subserved
by this great medicine which. as we
know, builds up the whole system.

DISTRESS CRY FROM ZAPATA.
People Suffering for FOod-Drouth
Lasting Fifteen Months Caus-
ed Dire Want.

The following appeal for aid,
signed by the county and federal
officials of Zapata county. appears
in the San Antonio Express o. last
Saturday:
1--WE, the undersigned. earnestly
beg that all charitable people come
to the help Of cur unfortunate citi-
zens who are on the verge of star
walton due to the rrotracted drouth
Of fifteen months duration. Farm
ers have not planted since the
spring of l900-cattle and stock
are dying In every direction. The
county is covered with carcasses
and 1913 per cent is ii low estimate
of the present loss to ranchmen in
cattle and no hope for the future.
The time for fall planting has pass
ed and winter, dry winter, stares
us III the face The men who have
been able To work have migrated
TO the cotton regions leaving their
wives and children 10 the tender
mercies Of their friends, who are
now IN the same deplOrable cOndi-
ton. The increase III value of corn,
which is the main article of fOnd
here, has added to the misery, and
there is 30 hope for the poor I'M
less immediate and ample aid Is
furnished by the kind people of the
State and elsewhere. The county
and Federal officials have helped
till they cannot possibly continue
The good work. 1t Is pitiful 10 see
the poor women and children beg
ging for food We ask only for the
actual ueceSsaries of life, and God
bless those that listen to our pray
err.

WILLIAM HoDGK|NS
Now Thought To Have E|oped
With Married Woman

Vergennes, Abril 1.-William Hodg-
kins, reported drowned In the lake
while crossing on the ice Sunday
night from Basin Harbor to his home
In Westport, N. Y, and later said to
have met with foul play, is now re.
ported to have been seen to board a
train at Wardham's Falls, between
Yves port and Essex, N. Y, the next
day after the supposed drowning, and
to have been seen afterward In Troy,
N. Y.
1t is rumored that Westport wo-
man is connected with the affair, as
one was missed from her home at
about the time Of Rodgkins' disap-
pearance. Hodgklns is said to hive
sold everything possible and had about
$500 when he left Basin Harbor Sun
day night. Hence the reason for sup
posing foul play. The leaving of the
overcoat, hat and glove in the hole In
the ice was evidently intended to
give the idea that he had passed from
this vale of tears.
Hodgkins has wife and four chill
dren, whom 1t is said he has lett in a
destitute condition. The woman in
the case is also said to be married.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
Manila Port Proves a Gold
Mine For Thieves

Manila, April Interest In the
capture and fate of Aguinaldo Is well
nigh overshadowed In Manila by sem
sational developments, present and
prospective, Of frauds In the commits
sary department. How widely these
extend has not yet been ascertained,
but enough is already known to justify
the belief that they are far-reaching.
Captain Frederick. BarrOwS OF the
thirtieth volunteer infantry Quarter
master of the department of southern
Luzon, together with seven commits
sary oergeants, several civilian clerks,
a prominent government contractor,
the assistant manager Of the Hotel
Oriente, the proprietors of three of
the largest bakeries in Manila num-
ber of store keepers and other persons,
has been arrested.
The investigation has scarcely be-
gun: thousands Of sacks of -four, a
quantity of bacon, and wagon loads of
other goods all bearing government
marks, have been found In the pos.
session of unauthorized persons.
1t is alleged that the contractor In
question, who has been doing busi-
ness approximating 100000. per
month, has spent large sums in enter.
tanning officers.
A prominent commissary officer is
accused Of leading a scandalously i'm
moral life.
1t is asserted that large quantities
of stores have been lost or stolen in
transit and also there is a shortage Of
the commissary depot.
New scandals are developed daily.
Illicit transactions have been traced
back to June 1900, and it is possible
that there are others Of earlier date.
The exorbitant tariff on provisions
makes the surreptitious sale Of com.
missary supplies immei sely profitable:
1t is understood that other United
States officers may be arrested.

TAX ON CUBAN TOBACCO

Havnna, April 1.-The export tax
on tobacco for export no longer ex-
lists, the order of President Mckinley
going into effect today. The tax,
which was so per cent, was removed
at the earnest recommendation of
Cuban economists. The abolition of
this export duty is practically an ex-
preston OF his belief that the Cuban
revenues from other sources are suf-
ticient for the needs of the insular
government. The original idea was
that the tobacco tax was necessary to
further meet the requirements Of the
government. The abolition bf duty
affects cigars and cigarettes, as well
as tobacco in leaf, filler or cut, all O.
the various classes Of TOBACCO, raw
and manufactured, having heretofore
been subject to various rates of du-
ties.
