A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
"sOmething New Under The Sum-

All Doctors have tried to cure
CATARRH by the use of powders,
acid gases, inhalers and drugs in paste
form. Their powders dry up the
mucous membranes causing them to
crack open and bleed. The powerful
acids used in the inhalers have entirely
eaten away the same membranes that
their makers have aimed to cure,
while paste and ointments cannot
reach the disease. An old and ex-
perienced practitioner who has for
many years made a close study and
speciality of the treatment of CA
TARRH, has at last perfected treat
ment which when faithfully used, not
only relieves at once, but permanently
cures Catarrh, by removing the cause,
stoI ping the discharges, and curing all
Inflammation. 1t is the only remedy
known to science that actually reaches
the afflicted parts. This wonderful
remedy Is known as "Snuffles the
Guaranteed Catarrh Cure" and is sold
at the extremely low price of One Dol
lar, eachpackage containing internal and
external medicine sufficient for full
months treatment and everything
| necessary for its perfect use.
"Snuffies the only perfect Catarrh
Cure ever made and is now recognized
as the only safe and positive cure for
that annoying and disgusting disease.
1t cures all Inflammation quick ly and
permanently and is also wonderfully
quick to relieve Hay Fever or Cold in
the Head.
Catarrh when neglected often leads

particulars as to your condition, and

Frank LesIie's Popular Monthly for March.

The March issue of Crank Leslie's
Popular Monthly" appears as the
Charleston Exposition number, and
includes some thirty pages of admir-
able photographs of the great fair, to-
gether with an intelligent running
commentary by Cuyler Smith. This
is the first full account of the most
elaborate attempt at Exposition max
ing which the South has ever tried,
and it is very interesting to compare
the buildings with those which the
public so warmly applauded at Buffalo.
This March number of Leslie's
might have been called the Timely
Number. 1t contains two we'll illus
trated articles upon Marconi-one
upon the personality of the twenty
seven year old inventor, is quite differ
ent from anything we have soon in
print, and leaves a vivid description of
an extraordinary man; the other which
concerns the marvellous experiments
at st. Johns, written by Q. r. Watson,
correspondent of the New York
Herald. Timely, also, is a good ac-
count of the American built imperial
yacht Meteor, by her builder, Wallace
Downey. He knows whereof he
speaks.
An article of more permanent inter
est, perhaps, is paper upon the Amer
ican Gypsy, by r. M. Fletcher Berry,
who has for years been making a per-
sonal study of the Gypsy habits and
character, and here presents a number
of facts most surprising to the ordi-
nary reader.
A feature of the number Is a critical
study, by Norman Hapgood, of Mrs.
Fiske, whom most people on the stage
and many off it, consider the first oi
American actresses. This paper is ac
cOmpanied by portrait, drawn from
life for ''Leslie's Monthly" and prin
ted in colors, as a supplement.
The fiction in this number is nota
BILE. 1t inclr des half dozen good sto
ries,, one or two of them illustrated il

General Hooker who short time
ago predicted that congress would
not adjourn until the latter part of
July was seen today and he stated
that he had hopes that an agreement
would soon be reached in reference
to the Cuban reciprocity bill, which
would enable congress to adjourn
sometime between the first and
middle OF July. The whole situation,
stated the general, is very doubtful.
Assistant Botanist Marlatt, of the
agricultural bureau, was seen at the
department today and gave an inter-
esting account OF some experiments
the department., under his supervl-
sion, has been conducting with the
ladybugs to exterminate what is
known as the San Jose scale, which
IS q deadly enemy to fruit In the
fruit growing sections of the south.
He stated that the department is en-
gagged in a war upon the scale, and
the ladyDugs are doing valiant work
in the warfare. The ladybngs are
the hereditary enemy of the scale,
he says, and it is intended by The de-
spartment to establish them in the
fruit growing sections of the country
in large numbers.

wind of the raid somehow and sew

the swamps of Pearl river in Rankin
county before the sheriff arrived.
When the sheriff called the roll on
the remaining casks they answered
1--WE are seven." But about the
same hour n train of wagons laden
with beer casks went across the river
to rest In the shade Of the trees in

were taken TO the jail and they will
be destroyed in few days, as no

WHY PALMA WAS MADE PREsI
DENT OF CUBA.

Prssident-elect Palma arrived in Gu
ba on Sunday, after an absence of
twenty-five years and it may appear
strange to some that one who would
voluntarily absent himself from his
country during all the years of strug,
gle for independence, should be thus
honored by his tcountrymen. The rea-
son may be briefly stated as follows:
Palma, although absent, was never
idle during all these years in laboring
for the independence Of Cuba. He or
ganized resistance to Spanish ruleGin
his own way and made it successful.
He directed operations from distance
but he always managed in some way
to secure means of resistance. He
could enlist, men and money in the
cause when no one else could. He
was infleXibly honest and every avail
able dollar that was raised through his
influence was faithfully expended in
feeding, clothing and arming the Gu
ban patriots. This is why Palma is
held in such honor and respect by Gu
bans high and low. Gomez, Garcia
and Maceo are each entitled to the
glories of successful battlefelds put
neither of them could have accom-
plished what Palma did on the con,
tinent and without such aid the revo
luton could not have succeeded.
