fTement as COuulISSlOneF OF pensions
has been foreshadowed, had a long
talk on pension affairs with the presi-
dent the other day. There is no longer
any doubt that Mr.. Evans will, within
tbe next few months at the latest,
sever his connection with the pension
bureau to accept from the president a
nosftion which will be a substantial
promotion, but which has not yet been
definitely selected 1t is well known
that Mr.. Evans has the entire conf
donce of the president, and the latter
will not consider the question of his re-
tirement until a position entirely salts
factory to the commissioner has been
provided No decision has yet been
reached concerning successor to Mr..
Evans, nor will any action be taken
until the president is thoroughly con-
vinced that he has found a man Of the
same high character and sterling worth
possessed by the present commissioner
in SO high a degree.
1t is understood that the subject Of
retirement has not been discussed be-
tween the president and Mr. Evans.
The matter Of a change has been
brought to the front by the action of
the pension committee Of the G. A. r.
In asking that a change be made in the
pension office.
Mr.. COOper's Latest Story.
Chairman Cooper of the house COM
mittcc on insular affairs is lawyer.
He is frequently called upon by con-
sttucnts to defend them in court when
at his home in Wisconsin. A voter
came to him last summer and asked
him to go to court for him in an as
sault case. The other man was badly
beaten. The complainant explained
that the defendant had beaten him.
He exhibited his bruises and contu-
sions.
"What did you beat this man so I'M
morcifully for?' asked the judge.
Your honor, I'll tell YOU" explained
the defendant "He and I were playing

He played the two. played the king
for high and he took it with an ace.
Then he came back at me with the
queen and caught my jack. Right
there friendship ceased"

judge, for the reason that any man
who would beg with such hand is not
honest and should be licked"

Finding His Bride.

In Switzerland, a very quaint marriagz
ceremony prevails. The bridegroom
dresses in his Sunday best and, &C.
companied by as many friends and rel.

DR.. S. Weir Mitchell formulates the
following conclusions: There are many
headaches which are due directly &c
disorders of the retroactive or accom-
modative apparatus Of the eyes. III
some instances the brain symptom Il
often the most prominent ana some
times the sole prominent symptom OF
the eye troubles, SO that while there

the eye the strain with which II -

continuance Of eyc troubles may be the

to some failure Of the general health

PerIIs of Our President.

All of our presidents have been in
the habit of mingling freely with the
people, usually without any particu-
lar precaution being made for their
safety. The danger of this has been
so emphatically pointed out in the
last few months that wise statesmen
suggest that the old plan be discon-
tinued. There is also cause for great
danger in many of the so-called rem
edies advertised for stomach, liver
and bowel complaints. The safest
medicine to take is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. 1t has been before the
public for so years, and has always
been found safe and reliable in cases
of nervousness. insomnia. indi"Cs-
ton, dyspepsia and malaria, fever
and ague. 1t therefore occupies the
foremost position in the list of house
hold remedies, and no family should
be without it.

WHO THREW THE BRICK
QUESTION STILL UNDECIDED

August Steen, Belgian with a linn
tied command of the Kings English,
was brought into Magistrate John
sons court last evening on complaint
of John Jameson, Seventh street
resident, who charged the prisoner
with having heaved a paving brick
through his window about 1 o'clock
on the morning of Jan. .. Jameson
testified that the aforesaid brick was
projected with sufficient force to pen
citrate the window screen, glass and
lace curtain, and then bounced
against the head of the bed where
he was asleep. The complainant
hoped out of bed and without stop
ping to dress, holly pursued the
HEAVIER of the brick a distance of two
blocks to the latter's boarding house
and claimed he had no difficulty in
recognizing him at a distance of 200
yards. This appeared to be rather
thin on the face, and when the pris-
oner introduced two fellow-boarders
who swore to an abb the case was
dismissed. Jameson says this is the
second occasion upon which brick
has come through his window at the
dead of night and he has begun to
consider ii serious matter.

tablet form; druggists everywhere
admit that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
which they sell at 80 cents for full
size treatment is the safest, most eff
fective and popular of all catarrh
remedies.
Nearly all cheap cough mixtures
and throat lozenges contain opiates;
these cheap medicines give a temper
airy relief. especially with little chill
dren, by destroying nerve sensations;
the irritation in throat. which causes
coughing, is temporarily removed,
not by removing the cause, but by
deadening the nerves of feeling the
irritation is not felt, although it is
still there, and will promptly return.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is the best
remedy to remove catarrhal secre-
ton. whether in the nose, throat or
stomach, because they are composed
of wholesome antiseptics like red
gum, blood root, etc. When you use
these tablets YOU know what you are
putting into your system. and not
taking chances with cocaine, opiates
or similar poisons found in so many
catarrh cures and cough medicines.
DR.. Ramsdell in commenting on
catarrh cures says: 81 can heartily
recommend Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
because they contain no cocaine nor
other dangerous drug found in so
many advertised catarrh cures. |
have known of many cases of long
standing catarrh of the head and
throat completely cured by the daily
use of these tablets for several
weeks. One case in particular, which
| could not reach with an inhaler or
spray and where the catarrh caused
daily headaches and noticeable loss
of hearing was entirely cured by this
harmless but effective remedy"
DIR. Wainwright says: 81 never hes
itate to prescribe Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets for catarrhal headaches and
catarrhal deafness, because | know
them to be perfectly safe for child or
adult. and have seen many remarlla-
BILE cures resulting from their regu-
lar daily use; because they are adver-
tised and sold in drug stores is no
reason why any good physician
should not use them, because we
should seize upon the means of cure
wherever found"
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are espe-
cially valuable for catarrhal colds in
children because they are pleasant to
the taste and may be used freely to
break up severe colds and Group at
the very beginning.
All druggists sell the remedy at so
cents for full sized package.
