The PEOPLE KNEW HIM.
(Ranson's Plaster Is Pains Mastsr)

George Washington made and sold -four,
and every barrel of -four in the market
branded &c Washington, Mount Vernon, !"
sold without delay. No question was ever
raised as to quality or weight.
Benson's Porous Plaster sells on its repu-
tation everywhere. All the buyer wants to
be certain of is that the plaster offered him
really is Benson's, and not o worthless imi-
tation of it or substitute for it.
A plaster is the best form of external rem
edy, and Benson's is the best plaster; 5000
physicians and druggists, and a multitude
of people no man can number, have settled
that You can trust it, they say.
Coughs, colds, lame back, lumbago, mus
cular stiffness and rheumatism, troubles o.
the liver and kidneys, influenza or grip
pneumonia, and all other diseases open t.
external treatment, are at once relieved anC
cured by Benson's Plaster.
Do no5 assume that BelladOnna, Capsi
cum or rengthening plasters are ''just a
good US" Benson's. They are vastly in
ferior.-NO other plaster is as good a
/ Benson's.
In competition with the best-knowI
plasters of Europe and America, Benson
have received fJty.fUs highest Gaoards.

St. Petersburg, March 20.-Alarm
pervades high circles here. The police
have notified house owners to have
their dvorniks, or house police, report
for duty and hold themselves in con-
slant readiness. A company of Cos
sacks passed the Moscow gate yester-
day on the way to TzarOkoe-Selo, II
miles south of St. Petersburg, where
the car has just removed to. The
police said they would escort the car
/ back to the winter place and that he
would return by carriage instead of by
rail. 1t appears more probable, how
ever, that the Cossacks were merely
sent to TzarskOe-Selo as a precaution
since his majesty is more easily pro-
tected there than here.
It is apparently confirmed that three
students were killed on Sunday. The
Cossacks rode into the crowds on the
sidewalk and many faces were cut opeI
by their knOtted whips. Students ant
workingmen threw rubber shoes, cane
and snOwballs at the Cossacks. 1t il
reported that one Cossack was killed
An official of the political police SAT-
1000 prisoners were taken, anon
them being $50 women students. Tn
presence of workingmen among tn
rioters rendered this demonstratio
more dangerous than any known in
generation.
A remarkable feature of the demon
strations has been the prominent PAL
taken by women of the higher classe
of the university.

Perhaps nothing has been more talk
ed about than the color scheme Of the

to attempt to array in cOlOrs the ex-
tensive buildings of this Exposition, for
scarcely any precedent existed for such
an undertaking, and to attempt it and
fail would be disastrous indeed. 1t
was out of the question to duplicate the

solutely new must be devised for the

Annapolis, Md, March 2O-Very lit
tie progress was made with the cleo
ton bill in the lower branch of the
general assembly yesterday, although
both houses had it under consideration
In the house the bill originally intro
duced in the senate was discussed, the
Republicans filibustering to prevent its
passage and the Democrats showing no
inclination to force matters The word
has evidently been passed along that
the house is to wait until the senate
gives the matter further consideration.
In the senate an amendment was
adopted to the bill as originally passed
by the house providing that the names
of candidates shall be placed on the
ballots in their alphabetical order. in
stead of the alphabetical order of the
parties represented by them, as pro
/ vided in the senate bill This is re
/ garded by the Republicans as con
siderable concession.
1t is now said to be the program q
the Democratic leaders to have the sen
ate pass the bill originally adopted b!
the house. together with all the amend
ments thus far made in either branch
and send it to the governor for his sig

COUNTY FAIRS.

COUNTY FAIRS.
The question of how to manage the
lmusements which custom has assO-
ciated with our county fairs is quite
q live one and forms a subject for dis
cussiOn at many Of the farmers insti-
tutes. In many counties the horse
| jockey, the fakir and the Midway |
fiend run the fair to the disgust Of all |
decent people who have the old fash
toned idea that the county fair is main |
tanned for the purpose of advancing |
the best interests Of agriculture. 1t is
evident that the question of amuse-
ments cannot be ignored, for the ma
jOrity of the people want entertain
ment as well as instruction when they
attend. The horse race will always be
drawing feature, and we see no
good reason why 1t should be aban-
doned when the business is done on
the square, the fact being that man
has got to be a thirty-third degree dea-
con to deny himself the pleasure of
! seeing a square race between two or
: more good horses. Those good people
who fear they will be tempted to bet
on the race if they see it had better re-
