The Royal Month and the Royal
Disease,

Sudden changes of weather are es-
pecially trying, and probably to none
more so than to the scrofulous and con
sumptive. The progress of scrofula dur
ing normal October is commonly great.
We never think of sorofala-its punches,
cutaneops eruptions. and wasting of the
bodily substanoe-withOut thinking of
the great good many sufferers from it
have derived from Hoods Sarsaparilla,
whose radical and permanent cures OF
this one disease are enough to make it
the most famous medicine in the world
There is probable not city or town
where Hoods Sarsaparilla has not prov
ed its merit in more homes than one, in
arresting and completely eradicating
scrofula, which is almost = serious and
as much to be feared as its near relative,

A PRETTY Home wedding.


Vivipr aud Miss Annie NJ Russell,
which took place this morning at
the home of the brides father,
was witnessed by few near re-
Iat:ves and intimate friends of the
two families. 1t was one of the
prettlest home weddings ever Oc-
curing in Brownsville. The par
lor was beautifully decorated with
palms, ferns and roses. Branches
of climbing roSes were Iacefully
arched over mantel, doors and
windows
At the hour of the ceremony,
Rev. John Beean, the Episcopal
rector, entered the parlor and took
his station, being followed by the
groom and his best man, Edgar
" Dollhouse. Next came the maid
of honor, Miss Eleanor Russell,
and last the bride with her father.
Taking their places in front of the
rector, the solemn words were
spoken which made the twain one.
The costume of the bride was a
handsome pearl gray brOadclOth
travelling dress, made with sh,
jacket, tucked and trimmed with
bands of satin Of the same shade,
worn over "A blouse of tucked ivory
satin. The skirt was made with a
graceful demi-train The hat was
of tucked gray taffe;a, trimmed
with Icut steel buckles and coque
feathers. The entire costume was
graceful and stylish, and most
becoming to the dainty beauty of
the fair wearer. The bridesmaid
was also becomipgly atured in
pretty waist of pale blue silk with
collar of Brussels lace, and hand
some black hrOadcloth skirt. Her
hat was of black velvet.
Breakfast was served after the
ceremony and congratulations were
over. The dining room was taste
fully decorated, and the table was
especially beautiful, with roses and
ferns setting of the pretty service.
The menu was quite elaborate aud
included handsome brides cake.
The bride aud groom departed
shortly after breakfast to take the
MatamOros train, for bridal trip,
which will include a visit to San
Antonio and other points. Showers
of rice were thrown over them, as
they drove away, and rice and old
shoes were also flung after them as
the train pulled out from the sta
ton, quite number of the we'd
ding guests having accompanied
them to the train.
! The union of these two was one
of special interest to wide circle
of friends, aud they enter upon
life surrounded by the love aud
best wishes of our citizens, most of
whom have known both from in
fancy. The groom is the son of
Mrs, Mary E. VIvier of this city
and is connected with some of our
oldest families. He holds respon-
sible position in the First National
Bank of this city aud is generally
looked upon as one of our most
promising young men. HIS bride
is the daughter of Thomas B. Rus
sell, also Que OF the lending citizens
of Brownsville, and is universally
beloved and admired. The numsr-
ous handsome gifts received by
them attest the popularity of the

 Be Enormous.
 St Paul, Minn, July 17.-While it now seems practically certain that nc lives were lost in the terrific storms which devastated portion of the Red River valley near Grand Forks, N.

The loss to the wheat crop. which would have been ready for harvesting in about three weeks, is re- ported as very heavy.
 Thousands of acres. or wheat were literally beaten into the ground by the hail that Accompanied the wind and in. |.
 Many persons are reported injured though their hurts are of minor char acter. with few exceptions.
 1t is as yet impossible to make any thing approximating correct estimate of the damage done but it will doubt less be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Duluth, Minn, July 17.--sIn 1901 when our next census is taken, Lex pect the population of the United States will reach the 100,O00,OO0 mark said William R.

Have I any radical changes in the system in mind? Yes, there will be some changes. We can See now where Improvements can be made in the methods used. One thing that I will ever have in mind, however, is to cut down the expense of taking the census. The last one cost this coun- try $12,O00O00, an enormous sum.

A SINGULAR PHENOMENON.
A ''Seicher" Has Made It's Appearance
 in Lake Michigan,

Chicago, July 17.AA phenomenon known to Geneva and other Swiss lakes as a "seicher," has made it's ap- pearance in Lake Michigan In a queer convulsion the lake sent q big wave landwards and residents along the shore suddenly found the water tapping at their doorsteps All along the lake front the waves swept up against the breakwaters or over the beach. Steamers were tossed about at their docks, smaller craft were thrown on the shore, boats were broken and in several instances loss of life was narrowly ayerted.
 Two boys bathing north of Lincoln park were saved after they had been carried out by the receding wave. A fisherman was rescued by the Evans ton life saving crew, and another bather was pulled out of the water as he was in danger of drowning.
 At the weather bureau the barometer indicated sudden high pressure, fol lowed by an equally sudden drop. X wave of heavy atmosphere pressure passed over the city and as it struck the lake. moved from west to east, the water being pushed back With the pressure released the wave came rush ing back and dashed up over the land and then receded to the normal water line.

Of Hartford Life and Annuity Insur-
 ance Go Lose Their Case.
 The following will be of interest to many Waterbury people who hold pol icies in the Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance company:
 At a meeting of the policy holders in the Hartford Life and Annuity In surance company, held in Hartford yesterday, under the old assessment company a few years ago, the commit tee which was appointed few weeks ago to interview the insurance commits sioner and the officers of that company relative to the burdensome conditions that now oppress these policy holders, reported that they had ascertained from the insurance commissioner that the charter of the company empowered them to do any or no kind of insur- ance, so that when they ceased to take 1 ill new members without the consent of the policy holders they were acting within their legal if not moral rights. The officers of the company will not resume the assessment business as it was a bad plan of insurance and 1t did not originate with the present manage ment. The committee says it sees no way to compel the assessment bUsi- 1 ness except by legislation and that there seems no alternative but to con tinue paying the increased assess ments or drop the policies. Each per- son must decide for himself which l plan to adopt.

TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN soLDIRI
General Wheaton Thinks Him the Worthy Descendant of Civil War
 Veterans

Chicago, July 17.-One thousand old soldiers met at the memorial hall last night at a reception for General Lloyd Wheaton, who was retired from active service on Tuesday. Mingling with members of the Grand Army of the Republic, who acted as host for the oc- casion, were numbers of younger men who saw service either in Cuba or in the Philippines.
 General Wheaton was introduced by General John c. Black. and replying said: "Operations in other lands have brought to me the conviction that the grandeur and power of the great re- public is respected and recognized wherever civilization exists. and that this respect is not based alone upon a regard for our material prosperity, commercial greatness or liberal insti- tutions, but in measure upon the prowess of our soldiers and sailors. Having served more than Al years with the men who carry rifles, I can assure my companions of the civil war that the American soldier of to-day is the worthy descendant of the men who fought at Shiloh, Vicksburg and Get 1 tysburg. Under the new conditions of
 war he cannot be surpassed and will
 meet with every expectation of his | countrymen."
