This Course Is from the Pen Of the Well
Known Authority, deorge II. Powell.

Mr.. Powell. who furnishes the matter
for the entire series, is man of untiring
energy and enthusiasm, having devoted
his entire life to the practical, theoretical
and artistic study of the subject. He is
conversant with the most successful
effective advertisements, booklets and
auxiliaries which are of value in secur-
ing that most desirable element known as
publicity.
Mr.. Powell is to-day considered by
those best competent to judge as one of
the most skillful planners and writers OF
advertising in America. Some of his
achievements are notable.
Entering the field in 1891, he quickly
revolutionized bicycle advertising and set
a pace that was never equaled. Later he
astonished patent medicine men by dem
onstrating his ability to float a new artf-
Gle and make it highly profitable the first
month.
Next came Mr.. Powell's work in build
ing up the advertising department Of one
of the largest woman's publications in
America, and in year his methods added
nearly $4,000 worth of extra business, be-
sides materially improving the quality of
the advertising.
About three years ago Mr.. Powell es-
tablished himself in New York, and be-
sides making thousands of dollars from
another proprietary article of his own.
he has helped scores of others to win
through up-to-date publicity.
AS counselor and planner of adver-
Using campaigns Mr.. Powell stands first
among experts, and he is paid the highest
fees by scores of our largest advertisers
with whom he is in constant touch. There
isn't a week that he is not sought for in
pushing to the front stock deals or new
manufacturing enterprises.
To benefit hundreds who are anxious to
earn from $25 to $50 a week in advertis-
ing writing. and to supply advertisers
with competent hen, Mr.. Powell will give
free instruction to all who take advan-
tage of the opportunity. Address George
H. Powell, To- Temple Court, New York.

W., WASHINGTON, Dec. ia further
investigation of the Schley controversy
by Congress is among the questions prom
inently discussed tonight. A resolution
of Representative Williams, presented IN
the House and now before the Committee
on Rules, is the only measure in Con-
gress bearing on the matter This calls
for an investigation by a committee as TO
whether or not the Maelay proofs were
shown to Admiral Sampson and other
officers of the Navy Department 1t does
not involve, except indirectly, Admiral
Schley'S conduct.
Williams says there is only one object
of the resolution and that is to find out
if the Navy Department officials saw the
Maclay book before It was published. He
thinks this should be done, and will press

GOLFERS CREW
SAFE ON ISLAND
Steamer Leaves to Pick
Up Seamen of the
Matteawan.
Special Dispatch to The Call,

SEATTLE, Dec. 1S-The lighthouse
tender ManEanita, Captain w. E, Greg
ory In command left last night for De-
struetion Island, forty-three miles south
of Cape Flattery and three miles off the
Washington coast, where IL Is believed
the shipwrecked crew OF the collier Mat
teawan is awaiting rescue. On Tuesday
night the Manzanita passed the island on
her voyage from Astoria to this city and
noticed signals of distress being made,
apparently by some shipwrecked crew.
The weather was so stormy that it was
then impossible to reach land. Captain
Gregory decided to come to Seattle to coal
and then go back to the rescue. This
course he followed, departing again for
the island last night.
Several things led Captain Gregory TO
believe that the stranded mariners on the
island were the crew of the Matteawan.
1t is not actually known that the big
collier is wrecked as yet, but she is now
out twelve days from Nanaimo to San
francisco, and wreckage bearing the
ships name has come ashore south of
cape F1attery. The fact that lends color
to the belief that the crew of the coal
carrier will be found on the island is that
Second Mate E. c. Wilson of the vessel
was formerly a second mate on the Man
zanita and was familiar with the land
lngs on Destruction Island. At present
there is Government station, with four
proximity to where the wreckage bearing
the name of the collier was found by In
dams.
The Manzanita should have reached the
island some time to-day and, providing
the weather allowed a safe landing, will
arrive at Astoria tomorrow. 1t is from
that point that the first news will come
as to the identity of the shipwrecked men.
Even If they are not from the Matteawan,
there is no question that they compose
the crew of some ship that has met grief
off the storm-swept coast during the past
week.
'The signals" Captain Gregory ex-
torches, evidently in the hands of per-
SONS on shore, and made to attract at
tention from the ManZanita, the only YES
sci calling there regularly"
The steamer was turned around and the
captain beat about the island for some
time, but finding that communication
with the shore was impossible, he came
VICTORIA, B. c., Dec. 1s.-According to
advices received here the missing steam
collier Matteawan, which sailed from
Nanaimo on December with 1886 tons of
coal, was last sighted by the crew of the
United States. lightship No. 81, stationed
cenber g.. This was the day Of the terrific
southeast gale, that caused so much de-
struction to shipping. The big collier sa-
luted the lightShip with three prolonged
whistles, and the crew of the lightship
said that she was laboring heavily in the
storm, which hourly increased in vio-
lence.
The Matteawans case is very similar to
those of the steam golfers Kewanaw and
Montserrat, which were lost off the cape
in a November gale seven years ago, both
vessels going down in the same storm

ADVERTISEMENTS.
FEW PEOPLE REALIZE
The Danger in That Common Disease
Catarrh.

Because catarrhal diseases are so COM
mon and because catarrh is not rapidly
fatal. people too often overlook and ne
glect it until some incurable ailment de-
velops as a result of the neglect
The inhamed condition of the membrane
OF the nose and throat makes fertile soil
for the germs of Pneumonia and Con-
sumption, in fact catarrhal pneumonia
and catarrhal consumption are the most
common forms of these dreaded diseases
which annually cause more than one
quarter Of the deaths in this country.
Remedies for catarrh are almost as
numerous as cstarrh sufferers, but very
few have any actual merit as cure, the
only good derived being simply a tempo
rary relief.
There is. however, a very effective rem
edy recently discovered which is rapidly
becoming famous for its great value in re-
ieving and permanently curing ali forms
Of catarrhal diseases, whether located in
the head. throat. lungs or stomach
This new catarrh cure is principally
composed of a gum derived from the Eu-
ealyptus tree, and this gum possesses OK
traordinary healing and antiseptic proper
ties. i IS taken internally in the earm
Of a lOzenge or tablet, pleasant to the
taste and SO harmless that little children
take them with safety and benefit
Eucalyptus oil and the bark are some
times used, but are not so convenient nor
so palatable as the gum.
Undoubtedly the best quality is found in
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, which may be
found in any drug store, and any catarrh
sufferer who has tried douches, fnhalers
and liquid medicines will be surprised i Z
the rapid Improvement after a few DAYS
use Of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. which
are composed Of the gum Of the Eucalyp-
tus tree, combined with other antiseptics
which destroy the germs of catarrh in the
blood and expel the catarrhal poison from
the system.
DR.. Ramsdell in speaking Of catarrh end
its cure says; After many experiments
] have given UP the idea Of curing catarrh
by the use of inhalers, washes, salves or
LIQUID medicines. / have always had tile
best results from Stuarts Catarrh Tab
lets; the red gum and other valuable anti
septics contained in these tablets make
them, in my opinion, far superior to any
Of the numerous catarrh remedies so cx-
tensively advertised" The fact that Stu
arts Catarrh Tablets are sold in drus,
stores under protection of trademark
should not prejudice conscientious physi-
Clans against them, because their I'M
doubted merit and harmless character
make them a remedy which every cataIr RI
sufferer may use with perfect safety ard
the prospect CT a permanent cure.
For colds in the head, for coughs. ca
tarrhal deafness and catarrh Of the stom-
ach and liver, people who have tried them
cay that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are 4
household necessity.

think the country will almost unanimous
" accept Admiral Dewey's Judgment. The
testimony was so overwhelming upon
almost every one of the specifications in
favor of Admiral Schley that l must con-
fess I am utterly at loss to understand
upon what facts upon the evidence of
what witness the other two members OF
the court reached their conclusion.
81 am absolutely satisfied that the opin-
ion of the two judges is. at total variance
with the opinions of the country and that
this will not by any means terminate the
controversy. 1 shall advise the admiral
to fight it to finish, to open it by every
appeal that is possible, Congressional or
otherwise, and I believe that the senti-
ment of the whole country will uphold
him in his resolve not to let the judg-
ment stand.

SPALDING IS ELECTED
THE LEAGUE PRESIDENT

NEW YORK, Dec. IA. G. Spalding
was elected president of the National
Baseball League at 1 o'clock this morn
ing on the twenty sixth ballot. On the
former ballots the Brooklyn, Pittsburg,
Philadelphia and Chicago clubs voted for
SspIalding, while New York. Cincinnati.
Just before o'clock the rush-Freedman
faction walked out Of the meeting:
Brooklyn. Pittsburg, Chicago and Phila-
president. The names Of the other four
magnateS were called, but there was no
response. The chairman, j. l. Rogers OF
Philadelphia decided that Spalding was
elected on the basis of the decision of ex-
Speaker Reed on parliamentary questions
in Congress that members leaving with
out being excused should be counted as
present, and he directed that these men
should be registered as not voting. He
ruled that, Spalding had been elected
unanimously.
when my election shall be made
unanimous and when they shall come to
me and ask me to be their president, II
l accept the honor, my one condition will
be that Andrew Freedman must get out
of baseball absolutely and entirely. He
must be wiped off the baseball map. On
his record in baseball, and l speak only
Of his baseball record, L openly and pub
hcly charge Andrew Freedman with being
traitor and marplot. He has done more
to ruin baseball than any other four
forces that ever existed in the history Of
the game"
Freedman said that he attacked Spald-
ing because Of his trade connections. and
continued:
81 consider his canvass most undignifed.
He has in no way used that conservatism
that the league would want in its presi-
dent. He can employ his own methods
and rest assured that the New York
Club is not worrying in any way, shape
or form at the threats made"
Just how Freedman is to be dropped is
n nj
National League may be organized and
that New York may be dropped from the
circuit, the Brooklyn club becoming the
New York representative.
