WILL INTEREST EVERYBODY.
Or At Least Everybody Who Suffers from
Catarrh

Catarrh in it's various forms is ma
tionaI disease, and the fact that nearly
everybody suffers from it more or less
leads many to neglect its proper treat
ment.
Nasal catarrh is q common cause of
Headaches, destroys sense of smell and If
Neglected reaches the throat, causing i'm
rairment and sometimes total loss of
voice. Bronchial catarrh leads easily to
consumption. Catarrh of stomach and
liver are very serious and obstinate trou-
lies. while it is now generally admitted
that catarrh is the most common of all
causes of deafness.
All Of the more serious forms Of catarrh
begin with nasal catarrh the local symp-
toms. being a profuse discharge, stoppage
of nostrils, irritation and frequent clear
ing of the throat, sneeZing, coughing, and
gagging.
The old style of treatment with
douches, inhalers, sprays, salves, ETC.,
simply gives temporary relief and every
one who has used any of them knows
how useless they are and their incon-
venience is such that very few have the
time or patience to continue their use.
A radical cure of catarrh can only be
Il
the catarrhal faint from the blood be-
cause no one will now dispute that ca
tarrh is a constitutional or blood dis
ease. and local applications can have no
effect except TO temporarily relieve local
symptoms.
A new remedy which has been remarka
bly, successful in curing catarrh is
pleasant tasting tablet which is taken
internally and acts upon the blood and
mucous membranes
1t is composed of antiseptic remedies
like Red Gum, Blood root and similar
cleansing specifics which eliminate the
catarrhal poison from the system.
The tablets being pleasant to the taste
are dissolved in the mouth and thus
reach the throat, trachea and finally the
stomach and entire alimentavy canal.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
under the name of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets.
If desired, when there is much stop
page of the nose, the tablets may be
dissolved in warm water and used as a
douche in addition to internal use, but
a douche is not at all necessary A few
dissolved in the mouth daily will be SUI
fcient DR.. Ainslee says: THE regular
daily use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
taken internally will cure the whole ca
tarrhal trouble without resorting to the
inconvenience of a douche or an inhaler.
They seem to give a -ealthy tone to
the whole mucous membrane and it is
really remarkable how soon they will
clear the head and throat Of the unna-
tural and poisonous catarrhal secretion.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets is undoubtedly
the safest, most palatable and certainly
the most efficient and convenient remedy
for any form of catarrh.

he could help him find the object of his

of a monument which he has erected for
himself. He has a family and appears
to be a well-to-do citizen. That he was
greatly impressed by the kindness shown

by his remembering the event all these

IN SESSION ONE DAY
QUICK WORK BY THE MARYLAND
LEGISLATURE.
Republicans and Independent Demo.
Gratis Were in Control of
the House

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
STATE HOUSE, Annapolis, Nd, April
16.-The general assembly of Maryland met
in special session at noon today. The
ate retained all its old officers and the
house took similar action, except in regard
to some of The minor employees, including
the sergeants-at-a farms, who were displaced
and others named in their places.
The combination of the republicans and
independent democrats. under the leader
ship of MIR. Strauss. are in control of the
house, ard have passed an order that no
legislation should be attempted except that
to provide for the state tax levy and to APP
propriate money to pay the expenses Of the
extra session.
The house was in confusion greater
part of the session, owing to the contro-
versies between the regular democrats and
the members of the combination. and ali
sorts of parliamentary tactics were resort
ed to by the democrats to delay action and
defeat the republicans and their allies All
these dilatory motions were finally yoteo
down.
Both democrats and republicans are trying
hard to act in such way as to make cap
ital out of the extra session, and are ac-
cusing each other of being actuated by had
motives in what is being done.
The rules were at last suspended and the
necessary bills passed in both houses.
The extra session of the general assem-
bly, concluded its work and adjourned sine
die at 2:5O pm.

LEGISLATION SUGGESTED.
Proposed Corner Stone Laying OF the
Memorial Bridge.

Secretary Root today sent a letter to the
Speaker Of the House suggesting legisa-
ton for the laying Of the corner stone Of
the proposed memorial bridge during the
Grand Army encampmert next October. In
his letter the Secretary says: Il beg leave
TO transmit to you herewith letter from
Mr.. Thomas S. Hopkins, chairman of the
committee on memorial bridge of the Grand
Army of the Republic, urging that the cor
ner stone of the proposed memorial bridge.
to connect the capital city with the heights
of Arlington. should be laid during the en-
camprnent of the Grand Army Of the Re
public during the week beginning October
g. l:h2. The suggestion is appropriate,
and it seems to me so desirable. that the
proposed memorial to the enlisted men of
the civil war should be begun under the
auspices of the survivors of that great
struggle that | have caused to be prepared
and transmit herewith also a memorandum
showing the history and present condition
Of the bridge project. and venture to eX-
press the nope that the request of the
Grand Army of the Republic may receive
favorable consideration from Congress-
The accompanying memorandum contains
the following statement:
With reference to statues erected in
concentration of distinguished officers of
the civil war. statues have already been
erected Of Scott. Thomas. Logan. McPher-
son. Hancock. Rawlius, Farragut and Du-
pcnt and statues are now in process of
erection, or in contemplation. of Grant
Sherman. Sheridan and Mcclellan. In
addition there are statues OF ex-
Presidents Lincoln and Garfield. There is
also the Peace monument at the foot Of the
Capitol. erected under the supervision Of
the architect of the CAPITOL. and the Eman-
c.ration monument. in Lincoln Park. erect
ell from contributions donated by former
slaves
so far as known no memorial to COM
memorate the services of the enlisted men
who fell during the civil war has been
erected in the city of Washington, and a
hurried examination of congressional data
does not disclose any proposition for the
erection of such a memorial However. a
beautiful monument will soon be erected at
Arlington by the Society of Colonial Danes
of America in commemoration of the SOL
diers and sailors who lost their lives dur
ing the Spanish and Philippine wars.
The appropria teness OF the bridge for
connecting the capital city with the ceme-
terry at Arlington and the home of the
great confederate general seems to be fully
set forth i'll the reports above quoted and
