BULLER'S MESSAGE
 STILL DISCUSSED
THE EXACT TEXT HAS NOT YET BEEN PUBLISHED, NOR IS IT LIKELY TO BE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

London, November 2.-The exact terms in which General Butler. who continues to monopolize compensation In England, advised General White to surrender Ladysmith are not yet published, nor are they likely to be in the near future. The National Reviews version of the mes sage while correct in substance, is in- correct textually. The war office Is blamed for allowing a libel to be circu- lated on the man 1t has already so severe ly disciplined; but as matter of fact, the question of the publication of all the dispatches relating to General Buffers attempt to relieve Ladysmith has now passed out of War Secretary Brodericks hands and will be shortly dealt with by the cabinet.
 Lord Raglan, the under secretary of war; pointed out to representative of the Associated Press that 1t would be eminently unfair to publish this one dis patch which has so much stirred up Gen. eral Butler, his critics and the country, without publishing others which are vital to an understanding of the one on which the national controversy hinges.
 To publish the hundreds of messages now on file at the war office directly bearing on the subject means revealing to the public secrets never int ended to be made known and the implication of per- sons who have so far escaped odium.
 It is probable that the war office will take absolutely no action in the matter until Parliament reassembles, when an official paper will be ready to answer the request which Is sure to be made to have these dispatches placed before the House of Commons. General Butler so far has not asked that this be done. and the of- ficial view of the case is that he is not likely to take any such step.
 The agitation in favor of General Butler does not disturb the officials of Pail Mall, and with the exception of a few parliamentary passages at arms they ex- pect 1t will blow over as did the retire ment of General Colville.

French Opposition Aroused.

New York, November Recommending upon the departure of the French fleet for the Levant, the Paris correspondent of the London Times and the New York Times says:
 "The French opposition Is now men, acing the government because 1t sent out the squadron to the Levant without the permission of the Parliament. The correspondent remarks that it Is folly to expect that the French government would deliberately inform another gov ernment in advance of it's intention to support the arguments of diplomacy by force of arms. A great majority of im- partial Frenchmen support the action of the authorities. In fact, the invasion of the brilliant and strange world of the Orient by French fleet fires the popular imagination and relieves the monotony of events by which France has been seriously bored"

The cause exists in the blood, in what causes inflammation of the mucous membrane.
 It is therefore impossible to cure the disease by local applications.
 It is positively dangerous to neg lect it, because it always affects the stomach and deranges the general health, and is likely to develop into consumption.
 Many have been radically and permanently cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla. It cleanses the bleod and has a peculiar alterative and tonic effect. R. Long. California Junction, Iowa. writes "I had catarrh three years. lost my appetite and could not sleep. My head pained me and felt bad all over. I took Hoods ssrsaparilla and now have good appetite, sleep well. and have no symptoms of catarrh."

Literary celebrities, as a rule, were
not those who attained TO any high
degree Of personal favor at the hands
of Queen Victoria. but she paid Charles
Dickens a delicate compliment. Dick
ems, who. by the way, in his youthful
days was devoured by grand passion
for the youthful queen, was invited
when at the climax of his fame to
dine at Windsor castle. He was after
dinner presented by the queen with a
copy of her book Tour In the High
lands" and on the fly leaf was in
scribed in her own hand this sentence:
"From the humblest to the most dis
tinguished author in England" The
queen afterward showed many favors
to Lord Tennyson, but even in making
him a peer Of the realm she did not
bestow as great a compliment.

DOWN ON THE FARM.
TiIIers Of the Soil Appreciate the Lit
tie WOmder-WOrkers.

tlc WOmOeT- w Orkerns
Near the little town of Woods Cor
ners, about six miles from Ionia. resides
X. l.. Pierson. a farmer by occupation,
and like all hard working tillers of the
soil he has found the burdens the back
must bear no light load to carry. Few
people who never lived on the farm APP
preciate what it means to follow tho
pillow from sunrise to sunset, but if the
public in general don't know how hard
such work is, the kidneys do. Long
hours of work of any kind means long
hours for the kidneys, and they can't
stand it without rebelling. When the
farmer comes home tired out at night,
if he only realized that the tired feel
ings mostly always come from tired
kidneys, and that the little wonder
workers, Doan's Kidney Pills, would
right the wrong brought on by over
work, life would be easier for him.
Read what Mr.. Pierson says about his
experience:
Il noticed when stopped, lifted or
changed my position suddenly, early
in the fall of 1897, that was always
rewarded with sharp pains across the
small of my back, and in the morning
l was so lame and sore that / could
scarcely get out of bed. The too fire.
quent action of the kidney secretions,
especially annoying at night, plainly
indicated that my kidneys were the
cause of the trouble. had often heard
Doan's Kidney Pills spoken about by
my neighbors, and as it was the first
time l required such a preparation I
procured box. 1 noticed their bene-
fetal effects in n day or two, and con-
tinued the treatment until my back
ache was cured and the other weakness
was thoroughly relieved. i make no
mistake when say that Doan's Kidney
Pills cure backache and kidney COM

A MAYORS MIRACLE.
We Made the Blind See, the Deaf
Hear and the Lame Walk.

From the many anecdotes Of Bamp-
fylde Moore Carew's roguerles In Ar
thur Montefiore Brice's essay on that
Amazing Vagabond" we quote one In
which Crrew and his gypsy crew who
had rugged themselves up as cripples
and gathered at Bridgewater fair to
plumber the junketers came of second
best.
When the mayor Of Bridgewater
heard that this motley group Of Grip
Piles had arrived, he announced to some
OF his friends that he was possessed Of
power they perhaps little suspected
that, In fact, he could make the blind
see, the deaf hear and the lame walk.
Bets were freely made that he could do
nothing Of the kind. and thereupon the
mayor had the gypsies arrested and
Immediately brought before him and,
after hearing their narrowing tales, or
dered them to be confined for the night
in the lookup.
About 10 o'clock at night, however,
the municipal surgeon entered with a
lantern and announced that he would
examine them all I'm the morning I'm or
der to report to the mayor whether or
not they really suffered from deformity
of one kind or another, and he went on
to say that those who were found to be
impoStors would be treated by the
mayor with severity so extreme that,
moved TO pity, he would allow any such
misguided wretch to escape there and
then from the lookup on condition that
he Immediately left the town.
At this intelligence a great commo-
, ton arose, and In less time than II
takes to write it the whole crowd surg
ed out Of the lookup, fllnging away
their crutches and wooden legs, patch
es and bandages. and made off down
the town at topmost speed, the blind
leading the way with unerring steps,
the dumb crying aloud their fears, the
deaf replying to them, and the lame
sprinting along at a rafting pace.
Now, just opposite the lookup, on the
farther side of the street, stood the wit
ty mayor and his friends, convulsed
with laughter at the success Of his
scheme.-Argonaut.

perhaps must, but there is no denying

well built" The women, especially
those of the upper classes, have a grace
and fascination that is all their own"
The writer adds: 81 am tired of hear
ing English people say that this is all
show and that if knew them better
should be greatly disappointed. Be
hind good looks and refined manners
have found the depth and sincerity Of
the Scotch combined with the wit and
humor Of the Irish"

Trafalgar Hats.

The year 1905 was memorable one,
as on Oct. 81 was fought and gained
the battle of Trafalgar. and then. as
now, fashion complimented heroes by
devislng toilets named in their honor.
SO Nelson was commemorated by a
hattie "Trafalgar'-and every wo-
man and child adopted the wondrous
structure, which would Guido even
the headgear of the present day. for
these hats were Of enormous width
and breadth, something of the size OF a
round table, and so loaded with plumes
that the wearers must have looked all

An embarrassing Laugh.

During a funny turn on the stage at
the Walnut Street theater, Cincinnati,
one night man in the balcony leaned
over the railing convulsed with laugh
ter. During an extraordinary burst of
hilarity his false teeth flew from his
mouth and fell in the lap of lady
who was sitting in the parquet. Those
near looked up and saw the toothless
man waving frantically to the lady to
pick up his teeth. This caused gen
eral laugh at his expense. The teeth
were returned by an usher.-Exchange.
