sprind Fever.

Spring fever is another name for billiousness. It is more serious than most people think. A torpid liver and inactive bOwles means poisoned sys tem. If neglected, serious illness may follow such symptoms. DeWitt's Little Early Risers remove all danger by stimulating the liver. opening the bowles and cleansing the system of im- purities. Safe pills. Never gripe. "I have taken Dewitt's Little Early Ris- CTS for torpid liver every spring for years," writes R. M. Everly, Mounds vile, w. Va. ''rhey do me more good than anything have ever tried" w. Fl. Timerhoff.

FIVE years ago. when the Republican party succeeded to the control of na- tional affairs, business was stagnant, credit impaired, currency disordered and industries prostrate. After the task of putting the national house in order was accomplished the party not only brought the country to the highest point in it's prosperity, but to the high est point of prosperity in the history of the world, and this in spite of three wars in two hemispheres, Cuba, China and the Philippines.

1t may be justly said that within the

Importance of the office of secretary to the
president grew to the dignity of a cabinet
position, and in many essential particulars
II is so regarded today. There is no man
IN public life today who so intimately en-

the bill creating a Department of Commerce

ably NIL the position of secretary to the

of the most popular and best beloved men

George b. Cortelyou's home training and
associations were of the best and after
attending public and private schools he
graduated from the Hampstead institute in
1879, and at the age of 16 entered the
state Normal school at Westfeld. Mass.
Completing an advanced course in study
there, he was graduated with honor at
10, having prepared for Harvard university.
instead, however, of taking up the Harvard
course, as he fully intended, he entered the
New England Conservatory of Music at
Boston, where he pursued several courses
or study and tutoring in English literature

High school. While in Boston he became

any man in the limelight of publicity who
has deserved more the things which have
come to him than George CortelyOu.
Mr.. Cortelyou was born in the city of
New York, July 26., 1862, and is therefore
40 years of age. He is descended from
one of the most conspicuous revolutionary
and colonial families and his father and
grandfather were prominent figures in the
business and social circles of New York
in their day. The names of George Bruce
and Peter Crolius Cortelyou are intimately
associated with the typefounding industry
in this country and for nearly half a cen
fury they conducted as partners the lead
ing type house in the world. Among the
friends and associates of Secretary Cor
~telyou.s grandfather were Horace Greeley,
Henry j. Raymond, Hugh Hastings, Thur
low Weed and others of the Brooklyn
coterie of journalists and politicians, and
the open-handed hospitality of Peter c..
COrtelyou, ST., in his beautiful home on
the heights in Brooklyn and at his summer
residence on Staten Island made him one

as president of the department, an honor
richly deserved by him. He owns a mag
nl1cent farm in Union county, which he
has personally farmed for many years and
in which he takes the keenest delight. AT
the same time he is a man of culture and
broad views and is conspicuous in state
affairs in many ways. The board reelected
as secretary John C. Simp-
son of Knoxville, who was last year elected
to that place. The fact that he was viz
tually manager of the most successful fair
the state has ever had was sufficient war
rant for his reelection again.

in this world especially fitted for the trying,
e~xacting duties OF a secretary to a president.
1t seems to me that George b. Cortelyou
was designed for the position he now occu-
pies, and | believe that every newspaper
man at the national capital will join me in
this statement. The duties of the position
of secretary to the president have been
greatly enlarged since the days when Gull
yer c. Sniffen was secretary to General
Grant and Daniel S. Lamont filled a like
position to President Cleveland. The Office
today is much more influential than It ever
was, and George h. Cortelyou has made it
so by reason of his splendid ability, his
diplomacy and his s%uavity. Under the most
trying circumstances MIR. Cortelyou pre-
serves an venness of temper that is the
marvel of those about him. He never loses
his head, he never gets ratified" he never
says or does the wrong thing. Always a
gentleman, because he was born such, he is
forever courteous, kind and o%bliging, but
with an answering loyalty to his chief.
