Hon. Judge Wing of the Federal Court
of Cleveland has issued a permanent injunc-
ton with costs and damages enjoining d
lawyer named Corey from the manufacture
and sale of an imitation of Cascarets. Corey
initiated the boxes, the shape of the tablet
and used a similar sounding name. Any
dealer who will offer a substitute or say
that something ''is just as good" when Cas-
carets are called for, does it for the purpose
of making few cents extra profit. which
must always be at the expense of the Gus
TONER'S health.
Cascarets have been advertised freely in
our columns and the result of making
them known, Cascarets to-day have the
largest sale of any bowel medicine in the
world. They are always packed in metal
boxes with the long tail &C. on the cover
and each tablet stamped c. C. C. They are
never sold in bulk or 6Som jars. Readers
are warned against limitations or substitutes
of this meritorious medicine, and if at any
time they have been offered a substitute
or an offer to sell something ''just as good
when Cascarets have been asked for, write
direct to the Sterling Remedy Company
New York or Chicago.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Circular of Caution to All Officers
and Employees of the Depart
ment of Justice.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 3O.-The United
States marshal and district attorney
yesterday received copies of a cireu-
lar from Attorney-General Knox with
orders to post it in their office and
call it to the attention of all en-
ployes. The circular says:
''To all officers and employees of the
department of Justice:
Your attention is directed to cir
cular of this department issued Au-
gust 90, 1900, in which section 2 of
the civil service act of January 10,
1888, forbidding any executive officer
or employee, among others, to solicit
or receive political contributions
from any officers or employees of the
United States, was quoted, and all
persons serving under this depart
ment were required to observe strict
ly the prohibitions of this law, and
were recommended to refrain from
service on political committees
charged with the collection and dis
bursement of campaign funds. L now
repeat the injunctions of that circu-
lar, and add the following further
directions on this subject:
''Rule No. . of the civil service rules
provides that no person in the eXecu-
tive civil service shall use his official
authority or official influence for the
purpose of interfering with an cleo
ton or controlling the result there
of. The spirit of the civil service
laws and rules renders it highly unde-
sira BILE for federal officers and en-
ployes to take an active part in po-
litical conventions or in the direc-
ton of other parts of political ma
chinery. Persons in the government
service under this department should
not act as chairmen of political or
CARNATIONS, nor make themselves I'M
duly prominent in local political mat
ters. 1t is expected and required that
all officers and employees of this de-
partment shall act in entire conform
ity with the views herein set forth

Thrown from HIS Cab and
Killed.
tn. folloving is a most i

The following is most interesting and, in
one respect, pathetic tale:-
Mr. j. Pope, ~ Ferrar Road, Streatham,
said:
Eyes, poor chap, he is gone, dead--horse
bolted, thrown off his seat on his cab he was
driving and killed-poor chap, and good
sort, too, mate. 1t was him, you see, who
gave me the half-bottle of st. Jacobs Oil
that made new man of me. Twas like
this: me and Bowman were great friends.
Some gentleman had given him a bottle of
st. Jacobs OIL which had done him lot
of good; he only used half the bottle, and
remembering that had been a martyr to
rheumatism and sciatica for years, that l
had literally tried everything, had doc
tors, and all without benefit, became dis
couraged, and looked upon it that there was
no help for me. Well,' said Pope. "You
may not believe me, for it is a miracle, but
before 1 had used the contents of the half
bottle of st. Jacobs Oil which poor Bow
man gave me, was well man. There it is,
you see, after years of pain, after using rem
edies, oils, embrocations, horse liniments,
and spent money on doctors without get
ting any better, | was completely cured in
few days. l bought another bottle, think
ing the pain might come back, but it did
not, SO / gave the bottle away to a friend
who had lame back. / can't speak too
highly of this wonderful pain-killer."

HAS FAITH IN HIS AGENTS
In Guaranteeing ImpartiaIity, Seo-
rotary Root Insists that lit Has
Always Been Shown.

Washington, Nov. 3o.-Secretary
Root yesterday addressed commune
cation to Eligio Bonanchea, president
of the convention at Havana, Cuba,
that nominated Gen. BotoloIno Maso
for president, relative to complaints
that United States authorities were
interfering in the Cuban elections. A
press dispatch from Havana stated
that Maso complained that the in
fluence of United States officers was
being eXerted in favor of Estrada
Palma, and a dispatch from Bonachea
to the secretary implied the same
thing. Following is the secretary's
communication to Senior Bonachea:
Washington, d. c., Nov. 90, 1901.
"Sir-I have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt of your dispatch of
November &c, saying: The national
convention of Havana which has pro-
claimed Gen. Maso candidate for the
presidency of the future republic of
Cuba respectfully asks you to recon-
mend to the representatives of the in
tervening government the strictest
impartiaIity in the electoral contest
WHICH is now TAKING place.
''The representatives of the inter-
yening government in Cuba are al
ready aware that their duty requires
them not merely to be strictly impair
tial in the electoral contest in Cuba,
but to refrain from interfering in any
manner whatever with the free eX-
preston of the wishes of the Cuban
people at the polls. They have not
violated this rule in the past, and will
not in the future. They will have
nothing to do with the electoral con-
test except to enforce the electoral
law prescribed by the constitutional
convention and promulgated by the
military governor on the 14th of Oc-
tober last. This will be done i'm
partially and effectively.
ut is quite unnecessary to assume
that the officers of this government
will be less faithful to their duty
hereafter than they have been in
the past, or to recommend or direct
that they shall perform a duty which
they are already performing.
very respectfully,
"ELIHU ROOT,

Abdul Hamid III to rewsrd palace
cooks, rich merchants, and others who
had won the Sultap's esteem In q

that the Imperial Order OF O,man,

motive in offering the Inferior decora-

that be could not bsstow on him the
