(Benson's Plaster Is Pains Masiar) J

In the days. Of wild cat money in the
West, the Ames shovels were used as cur
rency. They were as stable as gold; their
price did not vary a cent in twenty years.
The very name Of Oliver Ames & Son, was
synonym for honesty. It was current all
over the world.
On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster Is the universal standard external
remedy. To say it is q ''good" plaster does
not describe it it Is the best possible plaster.
For every disease in which an external rem.
edy is available, Benson,s Plaster is used
almost as q matter Of course.
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes Of treatment are
either exasperatingly slow or baye no good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds. 1nmbago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back,
ETC., are at 0scS benefited and soon cured.
Capsicum, Strength hening and Belladonna
plasters have none Of the curative virtues
Of Benson's. More than 5000 physicians
and druggists have commended Benson,s
Plaster as q remedy IN which the public
may have implicit confidence; while, ia q
comparative test with other p1asters, Ben
sons has received 1!fsy.J1os 1sg1sest 0soards.

of American Protection.
New York, April Ex-senator Or
vile H. Platt of Connecticut, author
of what is known as the "Platt amend
ment" relating to Cuba, is at the
Murray Hill hotel. In an interview
he said:
"The real essence of the PROPOSE
tions Of this government is that the
Cubans recognize the right of the
United States to maintain the inde-
pendence of Cuba and the stability Of
it's government. That right once rec
ognized by the Cuban constitution
there will be no trouble about the
enforcement. All will be plain sail
ing.
"The property owners and the con-
servative classes in Cuba almost
unanimously desire the protection of
this government; those opposed to 1t
do not count for much.
"Most of the people in this country
do not understand the real feeling in
Cuba. The newspaper reports from
Havana have been very conflicting.
They are almost as untrustworthy as
the dispatches from China were last
year during the Boxer troubles. A
few days ago the Plat amendment
was reported rejected by the constitu-
tional convention by vote Of "a to
2. A little later the vote was given as
18 to 10. AS matter of fact, final ac-
tion has not been taken. Very little
interest is manifested in Cuba in the
convention. Many people have never
heard of it. The property owners
took very little action in the election
of delegates, believing that the United
States government would protect
them and their property, The colored
population is largely represented in
the convention. Many Of them have
no interests at stake, but wish to be
patriotic. Some Of them fought in the
revolution and some of them are mere
adventurers. Some of them seem to
think that now the Spanish yoke has
been thrown off they ought to come in
and take possession. ..'.,
yet One-thlrd OF the members OF
the convention are friendly to the
United States and appreciate what we
have done and what we intend to do
for Cuba; another third is hostile to
America, and the balance are indif-
ferent. It is the hostile element that
is making all the noise and pretending
that the Americans want their govern
ment. Two Of the most important
elements Of the population favor the
propositions Of our government and
rely upon the assurances of our gov
ernment. These are the property
owners and the working class. The
Cubans will accept our propositions,
providing the agitators do not con-
vince them that they should not do
so, something do not think they will
succeed in doing"
