New Year at Pekin.

ITO PAYS HIS WAY
VIII Not Accept COurtesies of the
Various Railroads.

Marquis Ito insists on paying his rail-
road fare in spite of the action of the
various roads in offering to consider him
their guest for his trip. He was sur
prised when the Great Northern officials
refused his money for the trip from Seat
tie. The Milwaukee extended the same
hospitality, but the marquis insisted on
paying the fare for his party. The mar
quis explains that in Japan every one who
rides pays a fare. His experience here
has tended to give him the impression
that the payment of fares is a secondary
matter in travelling.
The marquis was guest yesterday at
the Slade-Hill wedding in st. Paul. He
made the bride magnificent present. He
and his party left last evening over the
Milwaukee for Chicago where they will
spend several days.

applications. II they accomplish anything, at
all simply give transient relief
The catarrhal poison is in the blood and the
mucous membrane Of the nose, throat and
trachea tries to relieve the system by secret
ing large quantities of mucus, the discharge
sometimes closing up the nostrls, dropping
into the throat, causing deafness by closing
the Eustachian tubes, and after time caus-
ing catarrh of stomach or serious throat
and lung troubles.
A remedy to really cure catarrh must be
an internal remedy which will cleanse the
blood from catarrhal poison and remove the
fever and CONGESTION from the mucous mem
brane
The best and most modern remedies for
this purpose are antseptics scientifically
known as Eucalyptol, Guaiacol, Sanguinaria
and Hydrastin, and while each of these have
been successfully used separately, yet it has
been difficult to get them all combined in one
palatable convenient and efficient form.
The manufacturers Of the new catarrh cure,
stuart's Catarrh Tablets, have succeeded
admirably In accomplishing this result. They
are large, pleasant-tasting lozengers, to be
dissolved in the mouth. thus reaching every
part of the mucous membrane Of the throat
and finally the stomach.
Unlike many catarrh remedies, Stuart S
Catarrh Tablets contain no cocaine, opiate or
any injurious drug whatever and are equally
beneficial for little children and adults.
Mr.. c. r. Rembrandt Of Rochester ". ",
says: 81 know OF few people who have suf-
fered as much as from Catarrh Of the head,
throat and stomach. l used sprays, inhalers
and powders for months at a time with only
slight relief, and had no hope of cure.
had not the means to make a change of
climate, which seemed my only chance OF
cure.
Last spring 1 read an account of some
remarkable cures made by Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets and promptly bought a 50-cent box
from my druggist and obtained such positive
benefit from that one package that ] con-
tinued to use them daily until / now con-
slider myself entirely free from the disgust
ing annoyance of catarrh; my head is clear,
my digestion all / could ask and my hear
ing, which had begun to fail as a result OF
the catarrh, has greatly improved until feel

household necessity In my family"
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by drug
gists at so cents for complete treatment and
for convenience, safety and prompt results
they are undoubtedly the long-looksd-for
catarrh cure.

ADELPHAI WOMEN APPLY
COIOred Club VIII Force a Decision
in Minnesota,

The Adelphai Club, the organization of col
ored women whose expected application for
admission to the state federation has been so
widely discussed has decided to make ap-
plication for membership, and the applica-
tion was sent to-day to the federation officers.
This will force some action on the part of
the federation, but it does not greatly change
the situation. general discussion of the
color question was already assured and the
only change affected in the situation is that
Minnesota must consider how she would like
to deal with the question at home before de-
Gliding how others ought to be willing to act.
If the state federation should be unwilling
to admit colored clug to association in the
north it could not possibly think Of recon-
mending the admission generally. Action
might be deferred at home until the matter
is settled in the general federation and this
is likely to be the course pursued
