A GENEROUS OFFER.

There is any amount Of misery and human
suffering, mental and physical, traceable to
some form of sexual weakness, inability, or
private disease, a result of early indiscretion
through ignorance of its consequence, ex-
cesses, improper association, an over-bur-
dened mind, or other over-taxation of the
nervous system. Some have never sought
treatment, while others have been imposed
upon by INSCRIPTIONS quacks until they
have become discouraged, but for all such
there is a cure, sure and lasting; an honest,
effective treatment, developed by years of
deep study and experience of one of the
most scientific physicians of the world, and
which is now being used with remarkable
success at the Reed City Sanitarium and
Private Hospital. who will for a short time

SOUNDING THE SENATE.
Secretary Hay Feeling His Way
Toward Another Treaty.

Washington, April 13.-There is au-
thority for the following statement of
the status Of the Panama negotiations:
After the adjournment of the senate
and the lapse of the pending Hay
Pauncefote treaty, Secretary Hay de-
cided to pursue the subject further. But
to avoid the possibility Of another fail
ure for the same reasons as brought
about the loss of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, the secretary determined to re-
verse the usual method of procedure in
framing treaties. He therefore conclud-
ed to first consult the ratifying power,
the United States senate to ascertain If
it were possible for the senators to agree
upon the basis OF a treaty Which should
be at the same time acceptable to the
executive branch Of the government and
to Great Britain. 1t was realized that
unless two-thirds at least of the senate
could be brought into agreement in adj
vance upon the basis of the treaty it
would be perfectly useless for the execu-
tive to embark on negotiations with
Great Britain for the formation of an
other convention.
Secretary Hay is devoting himself now
to the ascertainment of the feelings and
desires of the senators and consequently
not having completed this work he has
not begun negotiations with Great Brit
ain for new treaty. 1t is not an easy
undertaking to test the senate in this
fashion, not only because of the number
of senators who must be sounded, but
also because of the indecision of some of
the men who rank as leaders 1t is not
even possible to predict now because the
results obtained are so inconclusive that
the state department will not able to
acquaint Lord Pauncefote with the basis
upon which it is willing to negotiate for
a treaty before the ambassador sails for
London next June. It is even possible
that Lord Pauncefote may feel it in
cubment upon him to delay his depart
ure for a time or even to omit his leave
altogether If by SO doing he can better
ascertain the senatorial conditions, for
the ambassador is naturally DESTROYS to
assure himself of success before he again
undertakes to frame a treaty which
shall bear his name. 1t follows negotia-
tons not having been started that moth
ing has passed between the governments
OF the United. States and Great Britain
respecting a quid pro quo to be demand
ed by Great Britain in consideration of
the release of the United States from the
restrictions imposed by the Clayton
RuIWer treaty.

RUNAWAY SEASON.
Police Kept Busy Looking For Recre-
ant Youths.

This appear to be the season of the
year for boys to run away from home.
The police captured three boys last night
who could not explain why they were i'll
the city or what they wanted to do.
When the police court opened this
morning the boys told Sergeant Dono-
van that they had left their homes and
were trying to get some place where
they could have more fun than they
could have at home. The names they
gave were Ed Gaines, Frank Gaines ard
Jerry Blo1ock. The Gaines boys were
brothers and are from Kansas City. They
left home yesterday morning and SAID
they had met the Blolock boy in the
railroad yards. The Blolock boy says
that his folks live in Oklahoma but he
has a hard face and it is doubtful if he
told the truth The police at Kansas
City were notified this morning that the
Gaines boys were here and they will pro-
baby be taken home this vening- The
boys are all less than Is years old.
Judging from the notices received at
the police station boys are making q gen
eraI run to get away from home. Hardly
a day passes but that the police are no.
titled that some boy has left home to
bump his head against the cruel world.

BIG TOBACCO COMBINE.
American Cigar Company Absorbs
Havana American Concern

New York, April 13.-The World says:
The American Cigar company which
was recently purchased by the American
Tobacco company has made final ar
rangements for the absorption Of the
Havana American company
The last named company was organized
with a capital Of 10000, 900 in November,
1899, under the laws of New Jersey, for
the manufacture OF cigars The terms
Of transfer it is said have been salts
for the legal documents to be signed in
order that the deal shall become effective
By the absorption of the Havana
American company the American Cigar
company which already controls the
manufacture of. cigarettes, snuff and
toward controlling the cigar trade as
well. One of the immediate results prom
ised to the smoker is a slight reduction
in the retail price Of cigars.
The Importance Of the combination is
indicated by the names of the firms rep
resented in the directorate Of the Ha-
vana-American company. These include
S. HernSheinS Brothers & Company OF
New Orleans, the YbOr Manrara COM
pany of Key West, Seidenberg & Co. and
Voilens & Co of Chicago and Ro6ener,
Arnold & Co of Key West.
The American Cigar company was in
corporated in January, 1880, and was
capitalized at $50, 900, 000 1t also was a
combination Of many manufacturers
who had previously been doingg an indie
pendent business.
The Independent cigar manufacturers
say they have no fear of the combina-
ton There are hundreds of small fac
tories in New York City and vicinity.
The owners say that as they make local

SLOAN'S TIME no SMILE.
American Jockeys Doing Poor Work
in ENGLAND This Spring.

London, April 13.-The friends Of the
American jockeys now in England ave
so lar badly disappointed at the sea-
sons work Not a single American ap
pealSd at Leicester yesterday. 7. Rein
has lost fifteen out of twenty races, j.
Reiff thirty-one out Of thirty-six and
Maher sixteen out of twenty. These
failures are various1y attributed to the
fae5 that most Of the English jockeys
have adopted the American style of rid
ing or to the immature condition OF the
American mounts.
One of the interesting results of the
American invasion is the appearance on
the turf of new racing saddle with
sliding stirTups which is warranted to
give a jockey an American seat without
effort on his part. The stirrup straps
work much on the same principle as the
V-shaped American suspender fastener
and The inventor claims that 1t auto
na-ically changes the riders weight
fropi front to rear and vice versa, siv-
ing all the advantage of the American
style of riding

ERRORS AT GRAVE.
Supt. Of Cemetery Explains How
Future Ones May Be Avoided.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
In your issue of the 18th you have an
article headed, mo Grave Ready" I
would like to make this explanation:
Tie order for grave was given by tele-
phone and the name misunderstood The
person giving the order had no idea
where the lot was situated or could give
no description, consequently 1 ordered
the grave dug where / had every reason
to suppose it was wanted, that is, in the
Wngert lot When the rough box was
sent out it had the name of Wingel
written on the lid.
Wnen the funeral of J. NJ. Wingett ar
rived at the cemetery there was a grave
really but not in the right lot So the
bod was placed in a vault until the
other was prepared.
We have no sexton, the officer in
charge of our cemetery being termed
superintendent.
Now. for the future: To prevent such
occurrences, if parties interested who
want any work done will order personal
ly. or in case of necessity by telephone,
giving the number Of lot and section, as
well as name, which they can do from
their deed, such a mistake cannot occur,
but If they want to give their orders
second or third handed more of them are
liable to occur.
II we had looked at the alphabetical
list of lot owners we would have come
across the name of Wingett first, as that
was made first, as you say, but the rec
ord was not looked at at all, as the
writer knew perfectly we'll where the
Wihgert tthe name understood) here lot
was situated.
The parties DO net own half lots. Each
party has a full lot. although Of different
sizes. hope hereafter that the public
will not expect us to have everything
correct If our next order shall be given
by telephone, dig q grave In Jones lot. :"
Respectfully, D. o. CRANE,
Superintendent of Topeka Cemetery.

BACK no s-HOUR DAY.
Old Law For Letter Carriers viii Be
Again IN Effect.

Washington, April 1s.-The assistant
attorney general for the postofice de-
partment has ruled that-the amendment
attached to the current appropriation
act limiting the hours of work for letter
carriers throughout the country to 4S
hours a week expires with the act itself
on June 30 next After that date, there
fore, the postoffce department win re-
enact the rules of the eight-hour law of
March "a, 1888. The amendment at the
time of its consideration in congress was
fought by the Association of Letter Car
riers and the. department found it ex-
pensive to enforce it The eIght-hour
law specifically provides for eight hou-s
a day, while the amendment allowed the
averaging of this amount of work so as
TO keep within the limit OF forty eight
hours in the six days of labor
The postmaster general has decided to
issue an order permitting letter carriers
throughout the country to wear loose
