SUPREMACY IN TRADE.
How the Consular Service is Flushing Ameri-
can Interests Abroad.
az the Associated Press.)

10y the ASSOCIdtSu IJtGS'J
Washington. Jan. 29.-The President to-
day transmitted TO the Senate a COM
munication from the Secretary of State
accompanying the ANIMAL report upon the
foreign relations of the United States.
The President himself takes advantage
CT the opportunity To express his com
mendation of the consular reports and of
the advance in the general efficiency of
the consular service in promoting trade,
which he says was even more marked
last year than in 1899. Secretary Hay
in his letter says:
THE practical character of the COM
mercial information obtained by our con-
suls, and the celebrity with which it is
given to the public, continues to excite
the emulation of foreign governments,
and during the past year, steps have
been taken by both Great Britain and
Germany to engraft these features Of our
cbpsular work upon their consular sys
TENS
"The general conclusion to be drawn
from survey of the conditions in foreign
countries as described in the reports
herewith presented is that the United
States is approaching, even more swiftly
than was expected a position of eminence
in the worlds markets. due to superior
quality and greater cheapness of many
lines of its manufactures, which must
work great economic changes and may
result in shifting the center not only
CT industrial, but of commercial activity
and the money power of the world to our
marts. The trade indications of Ameri-
can supremacy during the past year have
been so marked that many foreign in
dustries. according TO the reports of our
consuls in Europe, are introducing Ameri-
can machinery and labor saving appli-
ances and remodeling their factory
methods. and we may expect, in the near
future, more strenuous competition for
which it is important we should prepare
ourselves"
The President and Secretary recon-
mend printing special edition of
10000 copies of the review of the worlds
commerce and 5000 copies of commercial
relations.

! A CAL Sc OF HEADACHE.
one Very Common Cause, Generally
Overlooked.

Headache is symptom, an indication
OF arrangement or disease IN some OF
gan, and the cause ii the headacile Is
dlflcult to locate because so MANY uls-
eases have headache as a prominent
symptom; arrangement of the stomach
and liver, heart trouble, kidney disease
lung trouble, eye strain or lh-HltihS
glasses all produce headaches ana II we
could always locate the organ Whlcn Is
at fault the cure of obstinate heaoaeileS
would be much simpler matter
However, for that form OF headache
called frontal headache, pain back OF
the eyes and in forehead. the cause is
now known to be catarrh of the head
and throat; when the headache IS TO-
Gated in back of head and neck 1t is
often caused from catarrh of the
stomach or liver
At any rate catarrh is the most COM
mon cause of such headaches and the
cure of the catarrh causes a prompt
disappearance of the headaches.
There is at present no treatment for
catarrh SO convenient and effective as
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new internal
remedy in tablet form, composed of
antiseptics like Eucalyptol, Guaiacol
and Blood Root which act upon the
blood and cause the elimination of the
catarrhal poison from the system
through the natural channels.
Miss Cora H!nsley, prominent school
teacher in one of o'ir normal schools,
speaks of ler experience with catarrhal
headaches and eulog'1es Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets as a cure for them. She
saws: II suffered Gaily from severe
frontal headache and pain in and back
of the eyes, at times so intensely as
to incapac'tate me Ia my daily duties
/ had suffered from cataTrh, more or
less for yeer5. but never thought it
was the cause OF my headaches, but fin
ally became convinced that such was
the case because the headaches were
always worse whenever | had cold
or fresh att9, * of catarrh.
"Stuart's Catarrh Tablets were highly
recommended to me as a safe and pleas
ant catarrh cure and after using few
fifty cent boxes which I procured from
my druggist I was surprised and de-
lighted to fl, q that both the catarrh
and headache has gone for good.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at fifty ents per package,
under the II arantee Of the proprietors
that they contain absolutely no cocaine
(found in so many catauh cures) no
opium $50 common in cheap cough
cures) nor any harmful drug. They
contain simply the wholesome antisep-
tics necessary to destroy and drive
from the system the germs of catarrhal
disease.

SEPARATE ACCOMMODATIONS.
Steamers in Eastern North Carolina Must Pro
vide Them.

The Corporation Commission held a
short session yesterday to consider a
petition from citizens of Tyrrell and
Washington counties asking that the
Norfolk and Southern Railroad be re-
quired to provide separate accommo-
datiOns for the race on it's boats ply
ing on the sounds and streams Of that
section.
The petition was granted after dis
cussion by representatives of both sides.
Senator Ward, Representative owens
and Mr.. Blount appeared for the petit
toners and General Manager NJ. X.
King spoke IN behalf of the railroad.
After hearing argument the Commits
sioners decided to grant the petition.
The railroad, however. is to be allow
ed to charge only one fare-first class
on it's boats, they being too small to
permit of separate accommodations for
first and second class passengers.

Women who work, especially those
