A FENIMORE COOPER LETTER.

Famous Novelist Called Europe a Ro-
nance and America Humdrum.
Here is an interesting letter. in the
possession of a well-known autograph
collector, that, according to the Phila-
delphia Record, Fenimore Cooper wrote
to his publishers in 1881:
Il hope you will be wrong in antici-
pating a bad reception for The
Bravo 1 cannot tell you much of it's
reception in Europe, though Gosselin
says it is very decidedly successful In
France. America is, of ali countries,
one of the least favorable to works of
the imagination. In Europe. or, rather
in England, where there has existed
necessity of accounting for some sue
cess in the very teeth of their preju-
dices and wishes. it has been the fash
ion to say that no writer ever enjoyed
so favorable an opportunity as l, be-
cause | am an American and a sailor.
AS - the sailor part of the business,
it is grossly absurd; for what advant-
age has an American sailor over any
other? They know the falsehood of
what they say in this respect, for l
can get $4,000 for a nautical tale that
shall celebrate English skill to-mor-
row.
For myself. l can write two Euro
pean stories easier than l can write
one American. Why, Europe itself is
romance. while all America is mat

myself in normal condition. have

Almost everybody needs a tonic in
the spring. Something to brace the
nerves, invigorate the brain, and
cleanse the blood. That Peruna will
do this is beyond all question. Every-
one who has tried it has had the same
experience as Mrs. D. W. Timberlake,

ANOTHER GRAND REPORT FROM
HIS MAJESTY'S DOCkYARD,
AT PORTSMOUTH,
ENGLAND,
Where Upwards of 1O, 900 Mem Are Con-
stant1y Employed.

stant1y Employed.
Some time ago the Portsmouth Times
and Naval Gazette published most
thrilling and remarkable experience OF
the wife of Mr.. Frederick Payne, him.
self connected with the Portsmouth
Dockyard for many years. The report
produced a great sensation, not only in
Portsmouth, but throughout the coun-
try, being considered of sufficient i'm
portance for reproduction and editorial
comment by the leading metropolitan
and Provincial Press of England, as
showing the marvellous powers which
St. Jacobs Oil possesses as a cure for
Rheumatism, its application having
effected perfect cure in the case of
Mrs. Payne, after having been a help
less cripple and given up by several
physicians.
We have now further evidence of it's
intrinsic value as Pain Conqueror.
Our readers will do we'll to follow the
intelligent and highly interesting de-
tails as given in Mrs. Rabbets' own
words:
To the Proprietors St. Jacobs Oil:
Gentlemen-My husband, who is a
shipwright in His Majesty's Dockyard, ,
met with an accident to his ankle and
leg, spraining both so badly that his
leg turned black from his knee to his
toes. The DR.. said it would be months
before he could put his foot to the
ground, and it was doubtful whether he
would ever get proper use of his leg
again.
A few days after the accident l had a
book left at the door telling about St.
Jacobs Oil, procured bottle from our
chemist, Mr.. Arthur Creswell, $40
Commercial Road. 1 began to use ST..
Jacobs Oil, and you may guess my sur
prise, when in about another week from
that date, my husband could not only
stand, but could even walk about, and
in three weeks from the time l first
used the Oil my husband was back at
work, and everybody talking about his
wonderful recovery. This is not all.
Seeing what St. Jacobs Oil could do
gave me faith in your Nogeler's Cur
ative Compound, also favorably men-
toned in the book left at my house. I
determined to try the compound on my
little girl, who was suffering from a
dreadful skin disease, the treatment of
which has cost me large sums of money
in going from one doctor to another
with her, all to no purpose.
She has taken two bottles of Eogeler' s
Curative Compound, and one would
now hardly take her for the same child,
her skin has got such a nice, healthy
color after the sallow look she has
always had.
shall never cease to be thankful for
the immense benefit we have derived
from these two great remdies of yours.
I think it duty to recommend these
medicines now 1 have proved their
value.

the conclusion of routine business in

snmed of urgent deficiency appropria-

Hale in charge Of the measure made
an appeal to the Senate to permit the
bill to como to a vote. He hoped the
scandal in Alaska would not be per.
mitted to interfere with the progress
Of the measure.
McComber of North Dakota said he
had no desire to prolong discussion
but the most Aillanious charges had
been made against Judge Noyes and
Alex Mckenzie, charges which he per-
sonally knew to be unfounded and
absolutely false. He declares that GER
tain mining syndicates desired to OBJ
tain control of the whole Alaska coun-,
try. He believed it would be premature
for the Senate to render a verdict for
or against Judge Arthur Fl. Noyes and
Alexander Mckenzie before the courts
had an opportunity to pass upon their
l1erits. MCComber then entered upon
q detailed statement of the case.

Tn the case of Utter against Pima
County, involving the Narrow Gauge
Bonds, the attorneys for the county
fled this morning in the district court
a motion asking that the plea i'll abate-
ment filed by the county be heard and
determined at the present term under
paragraph 1869 of the Revised Stat
utes. which is as follows: pleas to
the jurisdiction, pleas in abatement
and other dllatory pleas and demur-
rers not involving the merits of the
ease shall be determined during the
term at which they are filed, it the
business of the court will permit.
The bondholders have two snits
pending at once namely. the man
damus proceedings to have funding
bonds issued to them. and this second
suit which asks for a Judgment against
Pima County on the identical coupons
embraced in the FIRST suit. Their OBJ
jcct is to have the second suit kept
alive so as TO save the statute OF
limitations in case the mandamus pro-
ceedings are defeated. The plea In
abatement filed by the county, sets up

the fact of the pendency Of the prior
mandamus suit and asks that the sec
ond suit be dismissed for the reason
that the plaintiff has no right to main
tain both suits at the same time for
the same cause of action.
The great Importance to Pima
County of this motion asking for a
hearing of the plea in abatement lies
iE the fact that the mandarlus case in
the Supreme Court ut Washington was
advanced and is set for hearing on the
3rd day OF next month, and thus If the
plea in abatement is not determined
by the district court before the man
damus suit Is decided in the Supreme
Court, the plea will be of no avail and
the county will be unable to benefit
by its rights under this plea. Delay in
hearing the matter will have the same
effect as though the plea had been
heard and decided adversely.

attracted to this motion because of
the large interests involved in it anu
