COFFEE EYES. It Attacks Many Persons There

To illustrate how coffee can affect the eyes the words of a lady in Woodlawn, la, are quoted:
 q was brought up to believe that tea was injurious, but was allowed to drink coffee from childhood. Ever since l can remember. have been subject to severe attacks of headache Otherwice my health was pretty good until a short time ago my eyes became affected; they ached and pained me continually and were often badly inflamed. 1 also had queer, dizzy feelings in my head almost continually.
 One time we were obliged to do with out milk or cream for a few weeks, and not relishing my coffee clear left off It's use. In a short time I was surprised to find my eyes greatly improved, and I felt better in every way, still I did not mis- trust the coffee, and began it's use as soon as we got cream again. Within a few days my eyes were worse than ever. Then I resolved to quit coffee absolutely and take up Postum. This l did any my eyes quickly recovered
 My experience shows that while coffee caused headache and eye trouble Postum Food Coffee does not produce any bad effects whatever and is greatly strength ening and nourishing. Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek. Mich

NATIONAL WAR COLLEGE.
Secretary Root Getting His Plans in
 Shape

New Orleans. Feb. IA special to The Times Democrat from Washington says;
 Secretary Root is rapidly getting his plans into shape for actual work at the War College, of which he Is such an en- thusiastic advocate. He has appointed a president and faculty. and all that re- mains to be done is % get officers to as- sign to the school for instruction. Gen. eral Young is to be President, and has already been assigned to the barracks in this city to act in this capacity. The fac ulty Is to consist of eight officers, four of whom have been chosen. They are the respective heads of the main branches of the military service, as follows: General Randolph, Chief Artillery Officer; Gen. eral J. Franklin Bell, nov in charge of the infantry school at Fort Leavenworth, Kas.; General Gillespie, Chief of Engi- neers, and Colonel Mills. Superintendent of the Military Academy. Four line off, fcers are to be selected as the other members of the faculty, and in all proba- billty they will be taken from the de- pertinent commanders in this country. The greatest obstacle in the way of the War College is tho scarcity of officers to form classes The whole scheme of in- struction has been mapped out, but there Is such a heavy demand for officers for service in the Rhilippines that So far no considerable number have been available. In fact, the leaves of absence of certain officers home from the Philippines have been cut short in some instances. so that they might reioin their regiments in the defi

COMES TO LIFE AGAIN.
New Yorker Thought to Be Dead is
 in San Francisco.

New York, Feb. 7.-After five years ab- senee. Rev. Edward A. Waldoo, who formerly was connected with the Univer- sity Settlement Society, of this city, has been heard from at San Francisco.
 MT. Waldoo himself, after the long si- lence following his mysterious disappear ance from New York in the summer of 1896. first sent word to his family, who t, had long ago given him up as dead, and his brother, George B. Waldoo. an artist Of this city, has started for San Fran cisco. It was to his aged father. Si- mon S. Waldoo, one of the leading busi- ness men of New Haven. Conn.,. that the missing minister sent the letter Realiz- ing their probable fears of a joke he had taken the precaution to have the letter countersigned by a San Francisco minister, with whom he Is temporarily staying.
 MT. Waldoo left the headquarters of the New York University Settlament Society on the afternoon of July 13, 1S96 and be- tween there and his home he disappeared Detectives traced him as far as a Missis- sippi river town, where he was supposed to have boarded a boat for New Orleans but there the clew ended
 Once before Dr. WaIdoo had a similar experience. He labored in Chicago before coming to this city. and while doing mis- sion work there he disappeared. He had been raising a large fund for the purpose or buying provisions for the poor of Chi cago. Some weeks later Dr. Waldoo was found wandering aimlessly about the streets Of Tallahassee. Fla. It was three weeks before he could tell his name

Production of Coriolanus by MT.
 MacLean and Miss Tyler.

The return engagement of R. ID. Mac Lean and Miss 0dette Tyler in their great scenic production of "Coriolanus was patronized by an appreciate audience at audience was not large. but the players were rewarded with frequent applause for their painstaking work. MT: MacLeap and Miss Tyler were twice called before the curtain at the close of the fourth act.
 "Coriolanus' does not easily lend itself to stage presentation and there are times when interest Is sustained only through lines. The production. under the direc- ton of W. c. Smyth is in every way ad- eduate to the character of the play and the artistic ability of MT. Macltean and Miss Tyler. Some of the stage pictures are beautiful and the careful attention to the details is praiseworthy.
 The robust figure and full round voice of MT. MacLean stand him well for the part of Caius Marclus Coriolanus. He has great vitality and strength. for roles that require power but he Is perhaps seen at his best in more romantic parts his Romeo being as near perfect as any, thing he has ever done. His work how ever. as the Volscian general, was very impressive.
 Miss Tyler as the tender and trusting Vfrgiliia. was splendid. She Is beauti- full young woman who invests the char >acters she undertakes to portray with a suhtle something that Is different from that of other stage women. Each time she appears in Montgomery her work seems to have improved. This is an in- dication of hard work and studious hab- its
 The supporting company was good. the Menenius of Mir von MitZel and the Aufidius of Mir. Henning being especially deserving of praise.
 Those who enjoyed the production of "Coriolanus' no doubt felt that it was a pity that so perfect an entertainment was not witnessed by a larger audience. al- though there was a note of surprise that at least two entire scenes were omitted.

Pool Rooms Hard Hit.

Cincinnati. Feb. 7.-When the Coving. ton and Newport pool rooms were hit last evening for over S200O0 there were many suspects as to how 1t was done, but 1t was claimed today that the wires were tapped some place north of Dayton, O., as other pool rooms were hit south of here and none north of Dayton. Most of the money from the pool rooms here was at New Orleans. The pool room men claim that the report was delayed fifteen min utes whereby each of the four rooms were hit for over A,000 on that race The telegraph company and the pool room men have instituted an investigation which they say will result in sensational dayelopments in Q short time.

WHEN disease attacks the ner- w vous system, the symptoms that
 at once manifest themselves differ in different persons. When the intricate and wonderful nervous sys- tenn is in perfect condition, no man or woman is sick, except from infectious disease.
 Sleeplessness, dyspepsia, rheumatism. most of the weaknesses and ailments that exhibit themselves in different ways in men and women are now known to be only the local symptoms of the beginning of diseased nervous system.
 It is no more possible to cure these afflictions by superficial treatment than it is to dam the Mississippi by bar of sand. The only effective cure for these diseases is the repair of nervous tissues

LEADERSHIP LACKING
STEERING COMMITTEE FOR THE
 SENATE.
Members Selected by Allison Hold Divergent views-Impossible to Foresee What Policy It
 Will Pursue.

New York. Feb. 1.-The Herald's Wash ington special says:
 After drifting for two months without a rudder or without a policy, not daring to take a step on many of the important questions that are before it, the Senate is likely to have action forced upon it at an early day.
 Senator Allison is about to name the committee on order of business for the tee as prepared includes Messers Allison of Iowa, Aldrich of Rhode Island, Hanna of Ohio, Spooner of Wisconsin Cullom of Illinois, Elkins of West Virginia, Perkins of California, Hale of Maine, Lodge of Massachusetts, Clark of Wyoming and Beveridge of Indiana.
 It is stated that Senator Allison has had difflculty in forming this committee, because of the conflicting claims of dif- ferent section of the country, and the committee as formed is SO divergent in its views that no one can foresee what policy 1t will map out for the Senate to follow. The Senate has been utterly in the dark as to what the majority, collec- lively. wants on the great question of the isthmian canal, Cuban reciprocity. war tax reduction and tarin revision--and the skeleton in the closet is tariff revision.
 It Is said that on the question of tariff the Senate is as much at sea as the House. The same pressure from the
 West for a revision of the tariff Is bear ing on the Senators that is pressing on the Representatives.
 The West wants the tariff reduced, but does not want concessions to Cuba. The East wants concessions to Cuba, but does not want the general tariff reduced. There is no doubt that a majority of Senators are in favor of some conces-
 sions to Cuba, but there is a wide diversi- ty of opinion as to how these concessions are to be made. Until the steering com mittee gets to work no one can form
 more than very superficial opinion as to what the Senate will do on any other great question.
 The thing which is causing the most prominent Senators concern is the danger of having a discussion of the whole tariff question sprung upon them. In this re- spect they are in much the same position
 in which the defenders of the high pro-
 lection faith in the House find them- selves. These leaders want to give Cuba reciprocity. but they don't want to dis cuss tariff revision. nor do they want the reciprocity question brought up. Not withstanding this. Senator Cullom, chair man of the Committee on Foreign Rela- tions intends to press the Kasson treaties to a vote, if he can.
 The question of an inter-oceanic canal is also causing worry.
 The policy of delay is meeting with
 condemnation from certainly a majority l of Senators, who want canal bill pass- ed. There has been disposition to keep
 this matter out of caucus. but the party,
 it is at last admitted. must have policy, as 1t must take a responsibility in the | end. This is particularly clear. since the
 President is pressing for some iegisla- | tion that will show progress toward the construction of the isthmian waterway.

Admiral Won Tirpitz Opens Discus

Berlin. Feb 7.-The Secretary of the Admiralty, Admiral von Tirpits, opened the debate in the Reichstag today on the naval estimates. He explained that the
 financial features of a secret mamo- randum published by The Vo-waerts last month merely reflected the ideas of the Admiralty and would in any case have to be approved by the Reichstag They would only ask an additional amount of 1000 900 marks annually towards the sys- tematic construction of a fighting fleet

COTTON VERY STRONG
WILL PROBABLY COMMAND 10
 CENTS AT SEASONS CLOSE.
It is Only Through a Very Sharp and Immediate Advance That Famine Can Be Averted
 in America.

New York. Feb. 7.--As it is impossible for me to reply individually, and as fully as I should like to the very large mum Der of telegraphic inquiries l am receiv- ing in regard 10 the cotton situation, l take this method of advising my friends of the facts:
 The weekly figures made up today dis close a position of exceptional strength, and point to much higher prices in the immediate future. The worlds visipie supply of American cotton shows de- crease for the week of 145.ooO bales, ana is now only lS0,0o0 bales greater than two years ago, when cotton went to 10 and Il cents Der pound and was practically unobtainable at the end of the season.
 Of this visible supply, there is in Amer lea, at the ports and interior towns. 17S. .ooo bales less than last year. and 360.0O0 less than in the memorable bull year. The quantity of cotton brought into sight for the week is only 132,oo0 bales, which is the smallest on record for the correspond ing week of any season in which the crop exceeded 9.OOo.ooo bales.
 We have exported approximately 650,OOO bales more than we did last year, Japan alone having taken 115,000 bales, against only 6,oOo In every direction the demand seems to be expanding and the supply decreasing. The average weight Of bales is six pounds less than last year. which IS the couivalant of a reduction of 120,0oo bales in the supply
 The cotton trade of the world seems upon the eve of recognizing the extraor- dinary situation. and a very sharp ad' vance in the market appears iminent It is certain to come promptly if those who hold the small remnant of this year crop decline to sell except at its fair value.
 It is worth in view of the situation to- day disclosed, certainly cents and will probably command 10 cents before the end of the season. It is only through a very sharp and immediate advance that an absolute cotton famine in America can be averted The odore H. Price.

 They complained that the recent in- creases of the lumber rate is out of pro- portion to the increase on freight rates and on other bulky commodities. They also charge that there is as a rule more delay in the shipment of lumber than in the shipment of other freights. due to the fact that lumber cars are so frequently sidetracked, They urged an amendment to the present law having found that un- sion Is unable to afford relief.
