AN INTERNAL REMEDY.

Pleasant Tasting Tablet; Simple, Con-
vsnIeni; Cures Every Form of Catsrrh.
The use of inhalers, douches,
sprays, salves and powders for ca
tarrh is a nuisance and Inconvenience
at the best, and cannot compare with
antiseptic remedies in tablet form for
internal use.
Internal remedies are the only ones
which can really reach the seat Of the
disease which is in the blood and
local applications can no more cure
catarrh than rheumatism or kidney
trouble, the excessive secretion in
nose and throat being local manifes-
tations of a deep seated poison in the
blood,
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the most
succe sful of the various internal
remedies. is composed principally Of
highly concentrated antiseptIcs,
which destroy the catarrh germs in
the blood and causes them to be
ell minated through the natural chan
nels.
Progressive physicians use and adj
wise Stuart's Catarrh Tablets because
they contain no cocaine, no opiate,
no enervating drug whatever, but are
com FO-eu OF RudidCOL' nHuIdsLiH' I0u
gum and similar catarrh antisepticss
and are so safe and pleasant that
even little children may use them
with excellent results.
Catarrh 50 fferers who have wasted
time and money on local applications
should not dispair of radical cure
until a trial OF Stusrt's Cstarrh Tab
lets has been made.
A complete treatment may be pur-
chased at any drug store for so cents.

ALMOST A RACE RIOT.
A Fight on Wilmington Street in Which a
White Man Was Stabbed.

Much excitement was caused on Will
mington street late yesterday afternoon
by a fight which came near being a
small race war.
AS best could be learned from those
engaged in the fight, it was caused by
a negro. whose name is unknown run
ming against Will Mangum, white man
who works for the Interstate Tele-
phone company. Mangum was just
coming out of the Capital Steam Laun-
dry at the time, and when he remon-
strated with the negro for running into
him, the negro turned and cursed him
whereupon a fight ensued Will Hun
ter, another negro taking part in it.
Soon Mangum's brother John came
and engaged the Hunter negro and two
white men, Mack Dickson and O. G.
Sasser, lent their assistance In the
fight both negroes were badly beaten,
though the Hunter negro pulled his
knife and twice stabbed John Mangum
once in the f1eshy part of the leg and
once in the groin, and cut Dickson on
the hand.
During the fight a great crowd, both
white and colored gathered, and once
IL seemed as III race war WOULD break
out but cooler heads interfered and the
combatants were separated.
Some of those present say that the
Hunter negro was badly cut up, but
this the Mangum's deny. They say the
blood on him came from the beating
he received.
The Mangums at once went to the
mayors office and gave themselves up.
The negroes have not yet been found.

A travelling man who is we'll known to
the local fraternity told an amusing
story during his last visit in Cleveland,
says the Plain Dealer. His name is Leu
ders and he represents a paper cutter
factory in Dayton When he started out
from the latter city on his latest trip he
went direct to Cincinnati. He hadn't been
there but an hour or two when a tele-
gram reached him. 1t was marked "col-
lect." This is what it contained: Come
home at once"
His wife's name was signed to it, This
was matter of some relief to the start
led husband. If something awful had hap
pened, it evidently hadn't affected his
better half. Perhaps, though, somebody
had sent the dispatch in her name and
they were mercifully keeping the truth
from him until his return. But he was
inclined to believe that the house had
burned down.
OF course, after he recovered from his
first scare he telegraphed back in the
briefest space possible. ALI he said was:
whats the matter?"
Then he stayed around in a highly ner-
vous condition and waited for a reply
Finally it came. 1t was marked "col-
lect." Mr. Leuders set his teeth hard and
then hastily ripped off the envelope Here
is the message it inclosed, word for word:
THE dog has been gone since Z
o'clock. 1t is now 3 and he hasn't re-
turned yet"
Mr.. Leuders didn't go home, nor did he
send another telegram.

Senator Hoar has never been accused
of being humorist. In fact, he is, as a
rule, the gravest of all the grave and
reverend Senator's" relates the Chicago
Chronicle. But occasionally he shows
that he has a spark of the humorous in
his composition. One day recently the
Massachusetts statesman, "Uncle joe
Cannon and several Others were talking
about certain speech attributed 20
Charles Sumner. Senator Hoar expressed
the conviction that Mr. Summer had not
said a number of things attributed to him
by the record and Uncle Joe contended
that there was no sort of doubt about
his having said them. The discussion
was becoming very warm and interesting
when Senator Hosr, as if to bring it to
a close, exclaimed:
when die ard go to heaven I will
look up Charles Sumner at the earliest
possible moment and say to him: Char
lie, l am sure you never said the things
attributed to. you by the record. .
But suppose you do not find him
there?" Uncle joe asked, with his
biandest smile.
I'm that event, Joe," said the veteran
Massachusetts statesman, without NOV
ing a muscle of his face, II will have to
beg that you deliver the message to
him.

From Harpers Bazaar.
If my muse is propitious I'm going to

OF a very remarkable sort of thing:

1t might be most anything, so why not
that?
And if any woman who's got half will
in her
Would like to know how she can be her
own milliner,
And thus possess one of those wondrous
CONNECTIONS,
She has but to follow these simple direc-
tons:
First, take for a groundwork what's
known as frame
(The shape doesn't matter; no two are the
same),
Then take lots of ribbon. and make into
bows,
Wide, narrow. red, yellow, mauve-every-
thing goes.
Next scatter these ribbon bows over the
crown.
In front and behind, wrong side out, up
side down;
If you put them on blindfolded, you'll
get an effect
That the leaders of fashion will cry is
correct"
Then gather gay garlands of marvellous
hue,
Green roses, pink lilacs. and peoples of
blue,
And place them in punches wherever
there's room,
Till you've built up a bower of fanciful
bloom,
The hat. If you've carefully followed my
words,
Is now ready for adding occasional birds,
Two wings a few feathers. a pompon,

And three jeweled hat-pins to keep 1t in
