She calls for Resistencia to pack up and
leave Tampa in body "as a grinning

should leave if the blood Of the officers
have to run in revenge for the men
spirited away from here. A demand
has been made for the arrest of the
woman for the incendiary article.

A FEW REASONS.
Which Are Rapidly Making New
 Catarrh Cure Famous.

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. the new Ca tarrh cure, has the following advantages over other catarrh remedies:
 First: These tablets contain no cocaine, morphine or any other injurious drug and are as safe and beneficial for children as for adults; this is an important point when it is recalled that many catarrh remedies do contain these very objection able ingredients.
 Next Being in tablet form this remedy does not deteriorate with age, or an ex- posture to the air as liquid preparations invariably do.
 Next The tablets form not only pre- serves the medicinal properties but it is so far more convenient to carry and to use at any time that it is only a ques- tion of time when the tablet will entirely supersede liquid medicines as it has al ready done in the medical department of the United States army.
 Next: No secret is made of the compo- sition of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets; they contain the active principles of Eucalyp- tus bark, red gum. blood root and Fly drastin ,all harmless antiseptics which, however are death to catarrhal germs wherever found. because they eliminate them from the blood.
 Next: You cannot cure catarh by local applications to the nose and throat. be. cause these are simply local symptoms and such treatment cannot possibly reach the real seat of catarrhal disease which IS In the blood; for this reason. inhalers. douches, sprays and powders never really cure catarrh, but simply give temporary relief which dose of plain salt and wa ter will do just as well.
 Catarrh must be driven out of the svs- tenn. out of the blood, by an internal remedy because an internal remedy is the only kind which can be assimilated into the blood.
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets do this better than the old form of treatment because they contain every safe specific known to modern science in the antissptic form of the disease.
 Next: The use of inhalers, and spray- ing apparatuses, besides being ineffective and disappointing, is expensive. while a complete treatment of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets can be had at any drug store in the United States and Canada for 50 cents. thu-sat-sun.

WOMAN AND THE ESSAY.

The opening article in The Dial, of No Vember 1, is on Woman and the Essay" The author. Edith Dickson. takes the ground that the field of the light essay. in which women might be expected to excel, is precisely that in which they fail.
 "Women," she says, "are at once more self-conscious and more conventional than men. They may be spontaneous and indi- Vidual in an intimate correspondence, but in anything more public they rarely show their real selves freely and naturally. Probably the desire for self-revelation Is stronger in women than in men, but there is always pose in conscious efforts to communicate ones self. whether the striVer be 4 Marie Bashkrtsef or a Rousseau.

They do not seem to know how to let go of themselves. and either practice se- were self-repression, or else they attitu- dinize. or become unduly confidential and familiar with their public.

OF LOUISVILLE.

Mir. and Mrs. Lawrence F'iske enter tained at notably brilliant reception on -TdesdAy. evening at which they presented to their friends. their brother and his bride, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Ives Wood of Louisville, Ky.
 The lovely home of MT and Mrs. Fiske was transformed into a bower of beauty by the effective placing of a profusion of gorgeous roses and rich hued carna- tions. the tones of which were brought out by artistically drawn lines of South ern smlaX. This Christmas green was held with knots of crimson about over draperies, pictures and mantles.
 Ip the parlor where MT. and Mrs. Fiske stood with their guests of honor to- receive and present the guests pink roses and palms were the decorations.
 Mrs. Fiske was gowned in white or gandie and lace over pink taffeta, with pink bodice and held a cluster of Beauty roses.
 Mrs. Wood was gowned in her bridal toilette of white illusion and Duchess lace with diamond ornaments She held l a splendid arm cluster of Beauty roses. In the second parlor where dainty two- course refreshments were served, the tones were red and green. The table was eX- | quisite in a placing of vases of Beauty roses and red tapers in silver candelabra,
 
 which punch was served were placed They were red in tone. Beauty roses in profusion, ropes of hot house smilax and red shaded tapers all on background of white produced the effective picture. This all toned with the walls and hang ings of red and the result was particu- larly striking and beautiful. Mrs. Robert Stringfelow, Mrs. Martin Baldwin. Mrs. James D. Ferrall and Mrs. Walter Fiske were the friends who presided at the punch bowls.
 At II o'clock dancing was the feature and during the entire hours delightful music by band stationed back of bower of palms added to the pleasure of this one of the most charming functions of the season.
 It would not be possible for host and hostess to enjoy the pleasure of present. ing their friends more beautiful and attractive young woman than Mrs. Wood, and a more delightful gentleman than MT Wood and Mir. and Mrs. Fiskes friends are indebted to them for the pleasure of meeting them.

OF FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE,

Miss Florence Nightingale's health is causing some anxiety to her friends just now. Considering she is in her 73th year, this Is scarcely to be wondered at, and all her life she has appeared to be one of these frah creatures whom a breath might blow away. The work she accomplished in the crimea was under taken in spite of the doctors expressed opinion that it would kill her. But the slight frame had more wirineSs than was then believed, and the amount of work Florence Nightingale has accomplished may put some of the strongest. of us'to shame. 9Zs"' H7aF
 She has lived out of the world "f5r so long that people have almost forgotten that she Is still alive. The fact of her being the pioneer of systematic army nursing is vaguely remembered; and that Is all. But Florence Nightingales per sonality is an extraordinarily interesting enc, even leaving that CrimeaE work altogether out of the reckoning.
 Her father was the son of a rich Shelf field banker. His real name was Shore, and he came of in old family which has been possessed of lands in the counties of Derby ard York since the Fifteenth century, and exists today in the person of MT. Harrington Shore. of Nofton Hall and LiLdridge House Letcestershire. Mir. ShoFssr assumed the name of Nightingale on .nheriting his maternal uncleS fortune and that estate of Lea-Hurst. in Derby shire, which now belongs to his daughter Florence. He was born a very wealthy and a very cultured man, and mingled much in the literary and fashionable society of the day. He was alsosa gReat traveller, and it was in Italy that his daughter was born receiving her name Florence from the city of her biRthE =
 There was but one other child, Aisb- A' daughter, who bore the remarkable name of Parthenosse. She zaPEied sir Harry Varney of ClaydOn. and died sonls years ago, leaving Miss Nightingale the only representative of the name. It is strange to remember that the venerable mistress of Lea-Hurst can recollect the long-ago world of Madame Recamier of Chateaubriand, of Beranger and Count Rossi.
 She was presented to Queen Victoria in the most brilliant days of the young Queens court. and at the outbreak of the Crimean War, Florence. Nightingale Quaffed the wine of life from an 6VeV- flowing cup. Her friends were~p people Famous for goodness, or letters, or art she traveled in every country in Eu- rope, devoting much time to Egypt and its wonders. to Germany and its music and to her beloved Italy, which next to England, she held as nearest her heart During the time of the great exhibition in 1851, when all London was keeping high holiday, she stcle away to a remote Rhineland town, where she studied the training of sisters of mercy. From that time she became enthusiastic in the de- sire to help the suffering, and to give from her abundance to those who lacked health and wealth and happiness, ,ts

RusKIN's ADVICE TO GIRLS.

The publication recently by an English club of some letters of Ruskin to girls recalls the establishment by him of a rose fete in the Girls High School at Cork. At his suggestion a queen was elected yearly to whom he gave gold cross and a set of books. the latter for distribution among the girls. Pieces of native gold and silver and curios of in- to the pupils at various times. In one of the letters he said:
 '"rhe chief danger for young girls in this great today of their own and the worlds age is the temptation to restless ness, whether fin curiosity, pleasure or pride. I want them all to be earnestly, thoroughly. thoughtfully intelligent of what is close to them and under their care-5happy not in one day as the hap .piest of their time: and proud in rightly knowing and rightly doing whatever they are called upon-not by fame, but by love-to do for any who love them, for all who are dependent upon them"

ROWING CLUBMEN TALK
OF AN AMALGAMATION
Oarsmen Ousted From Long Wharf
May Unite in One Strong Or
panization Under New Name.

Next Monday night the members Of the
Alameda Boat Club will meet in the club
house at the foot of Chestnut street, Ala
media to nominate and elect new board
of officers to serve for the ensuing term
of six months. The club is in a flourish
ing condition, both as regards number of
members and finances, the recent annual
entertainment having added a handsome
sum to the general fund.
Some time ago it was suggested that the
Pioneer and Ariel rowing clubs. which
then had their lighthouses side by side on
Long wharf, should combine. AT that
time it was not supposed the clubs would
have to move away and leave their
houses, and as the Pioneers did not wish
to merge their identity in that of another
club nothing came of the suggestion.
Now that both clubs have lost their old
houses and locations, the talk of amalga-
nation is heard again. TIE Pioneers have
some good oarsmen, their senior barge
crew being probably the strongest on the
off and it is understood their finances are
none too f1ourishing. AS the Pioneers
would not like to lose their identity in
the Ariel Club, and the Ariels would not
be willing to sink theirs in the Pioneer
Club, it would be necessary to choose a
new name, which might be done readily.
one strong club seems able to include all
the rowing men whose headquarters were
for so many years on Long wharf.
The installation Of the recently elected
officers of the Ariel Rowing Club will take
place on the second Monday in January.
on which night there will be a high jinks.
At the last meeting of the Pacific ASso-
citation of the Amateur Athletic Union,
President w. B. Hinchman announced
his appointment of A P. Rothkopf of the
Dolphfns as a rowing commissioners. His
duties will be to devise means for fur
thering the sport.
The newly elected officers of the Dol
phin Boating Club will be installed at the
annual dinner on Saturday evening, Janu-
ary IL The committee having the ban
quet in charge consists of w. O.. Patch,
Fred Seibel, H. PerazN, T. ]. Kennedy
and V. Kehrlein.
The Boating Association Of the Univer-
sity of California, finding that there is no
