The saying about the lion and the lamb
in March often proves false, but there is
another and q better one which is literally
true. When March comes in and finds you
taking Hoods Sarsaparilla to purify, en-
rich and vitaliZe your blood, you may ex
pect, when 1T goes out, that it will leave
you free from that tired feeling and with
none of the bois, pinples and eruptions
which manifest themselves because of inn
pure blood in the spring. If you have not
already begun taking Hoods Sarsaparilla
for your spring medicine, we advise you to
begin today. We assure you it will make
you feel better all through the coming sum

NO STATE POLICE BILL.
REPORTS OF IT'S SrEEDY PASSAGE THE
WORK OF PATRONAGE SEEKERS.

Albany, March 1 (SpeciaD. There appear to
be some Republican leaders in New-YOrk City
who are extremely desirous Of gaining personal
share of the patronage of the Police Department
Of that city and who think that their road TO
these prizes is the passage of State police bill
by the legislature and a consequence, they
constantly spreading reports in that city that
such a bill! will be passed here.
There is Indication here in Albany, at pres
the headquarters Of the State government,
that any State police bill Is to be passed Gov
ernor Odell has not given any token that he has
changed the policy which he adopted when he
signed the single headed police act. namely. of
placing upon the shoulders of Mayor Van Wyck
of NewYork City the responsibility for that
city's police administration. Although many
Republicans In the legislature favor the passage
of State police bill. they do not think there is
any immediate need of such legislation. in view
Of the recent passage of the single headed Police
Department act. Most statutes of the State
passed with the aim of having them remain laws
OF the State for a longer period than one week.
The legislature will not adjourn before April
l. II thst interval the Governor and the legis-
lature will nave ample time TO decide whether or
not additional legislation regarding the Police
Department OF New-York is imperative.

by General Wood Tuesday night and was given
the following morning to Senior Tamayo. chair

BRITISH ARMY ESTIMATES.
VAST SUM STILL NEEDED TO COMPLETE
THE WORK IN AFRICA

Londcn, March 2.-Nr. Brodrick, the War Sec
retary, has issued a statement Of the army esti-
mates for 1901-02. The total is ISL 915 600 Of
which f5s 100000 comes under the heading of
services, and is based the assumption
that for the first four months Of the new finan-
cial year the field force in South Africa Will
be maintained at its full strength. and that
thereafter a gradual diminution will occur.
This sum also provides for the transport home
of troops for gratuities, etc. The number
Of men provided for is 10000, being 10000
above the normal army establishment and due
to the in South Africa, and the operation
in China.
The total estimates for the previous year were
fSS, ,999, 400, which included the supplementary
estimates.
There is little disposition to criticise the esti
mates until Mr. Brodrick has explained them in
the House of Commons. The Radicals in
clined to protest against annual army budget
of nearly f30,000,000 distinct from special
war requirements The general opinion is that
the modest additional demands cannot mean
really adequate army reorganization and re-
form.
