Bishop Potter of New York congrat-
ulated President Roosevelt upon hav-
ing entertained Booker Washington.
since that time" said Bishop Potter
the other evening at Carnegie Hall. Il
have received numerous letters from
people South of Mason and Dixons
line entreating me not to show
their citizens had no desire to
entertain me-" There are some per-
sons in the South, as there are in the
North and West. who write foolish
letters. Some of these appear to have
addressed communications TO Bishop
Potter. And the Bishop. it would seem,
is man of some timidity. He has per-
mitted the letter writer's to create in
his mind the impression that if he
were to visit the South he would be
subjected to affront or indignity AS
matter of fact, he would be as safe
in the South as in Brooklyn. 1t was
hardly in keeping with Bishop Pot
ter's reputation as a broad minded
man for him to reflect upon the whole
South by calling attention to these
letters as he did in Carnegie Hall. 1t
would have been more generous in the
Bishop to drop the letters in his waste
basket and forget them, except in his
prayers. The South doesn't approve
either the Bishops act in entertaining
Booker Washington at dinner or the
conduct of those who wrote threatening
letters TO him in regard to it.

Representative Cowherd of Missouri
was stopped in a corridor of the Capitol
to-day, says the washington CORE
spondence of the Philadelphia North
American, by a man who greeted him
with the inquiry: What do you
know?"
That" said Cowherd reminds me
of a constituent of mine. He was a
brainy young lawyer. but no business
came to him, and he was getting des-
perate. His affairs were in very ex-
asperating shape one day. when a man
stopped him and asked him in all
friendliness what he knew.
What do 1 know he cried angrily.

1t is true the most annoying symp-
toms, like stoppage of the nose and
throat trouble, are purely local, but
they are simply symptoms and the real
seat of disease is far removed.
Catarrh is constitutional disease, a
blood disorder, complicated usually
with disease of the liver and to sup
pose that local applications of sprays,
powders, inhalers, could ever reach the
real cause of the trouble is ridiculous.
The sensible and successful treat
ment is to remove the catarrhal pois-
on from the system by regulating the
liver and purifying the blood, and this
can only be done by an internal reme-
dy, which should consist of antisep-
tics and remedies to act vigorously on
the blood and liver.
The best preparation of this kind
which fills all the requirements of a
safe constitutional treatment is Stu
arts Catarrh Tablets, composed of
Blood Root. Red Gum and similar
wholesome antiseptics, which are abb
solutely safe to take into the stomach
and which act upon the liver, stom-
ach and mucous membrane.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges to be slowly
dissolved in the mouth, thus reaching
the mucous membrane and wind-pipe
dHu Iudlly reaching Ine stomach.
DR.. Edmondson, in speaking of the
new treatment for catarrh, says: ct
have accomplished the most satisfac-
tory results in all forms of catarrh of
the head, throat, bronchial tubes, as
well as catarrh of the stomach and
liver by using nothing else but Stu
arts Catarrh Tablets. 1 long since
threw aside sprays and inhalers as be-
ing inconvenient and at the best mere
temporary make shifts.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets act imme-
diately upon the liver and blood and
clear the whole system of catarrhal
poison. They are pleasant and very
convenient to use, and they are not
only the latest, but I believe them to
be the best and certainly the safest
treatment for any form of catarrh."
All druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets at so cents for full-sized pack
age.

ABOUT CATARRH CURES.
The Reason why InhaIers and Local
Applications Are Useless.

For many years catarrh was consid-
cred to be a local disease and was
treated entirely by local remedies,
salves, ointments, powders, sprays and
inhalers, and nearly all of these gave
a temporary relief, but genuine per-
manent cure was very rare.

the supplying of power sufficient to run
machinery in London with the power
created at Niagara Falls" What a
marvellous prospect! When the prob
lem has been worked out, the coal
mines and the steam engines will have
to go out of business. There will be
heat, light and power everywhere. All
the consumer will need to do will be
to reach up into the air and draw
down a supply of electricity to do
whatever may be desired. Distance
will then be literally annihilated, in so
far as power is concerned. Ships will
throw their boilers and engines over

impulse of propellers energized at Nj

ships with their great weight of ma

Is Count Leo ToIstoi dead? Nobody
seems to know. The last authentic ad-
vices from him said he was in a pre-
carious condition of health and his
death was expected to occur at about
any time. But no word of him has
reached the public since about the mid
die of last month. New York lawyer
claims to have received a letter from
Russia day or two ago in which it
was stated positively that TOlstoi died
on Feb. Is at Yalta, in the Crimea. The
Russian government is believed to be
suppressing the news of his death,
fearing student riots would follow the
announcement. Under the rigid sys-
tenn of press censorship that obtains in
Russia no news reaches the public
against the wishes of the government.

About the liveliest infant industry
that has bothered Congress for many
a day is that of beet sugar. The Re-
publicans of the House have been try
ing for weeks to find a way to give
some relief to the Cuban sugar plant
ers that would not result in ill-feel-
ing in their party, and thus far they
have been unsuccessful. They say it
is all on account of the beet sugar in
dustry In view of the fact that it has
been but a few years since that in
dustry came into existence in this
country its influence in Congress is
surprisingly great.
Some of the Republican leaders
want to reduce the tariff on Cuban
sugar 20 per cent, provided Cuba will
reduce her tariff on certain American
imports to that extent and adopt our
immigration and exclusion laws. The
beet sugar growers won't agree to
that. Their plan is to collect the full
duty on Cuban sugar and then give
the Cuban planters a bounty amount
ing to 20 per cent. of the amount col
lected. That plan would not do at
all, for the reason that the American
people are opposed to the bounty sys-
tenn and also because it would be GER
tain to be attended by scandal
And there seems to be desire on
the part of some Republicans to give
Cuba no relief whatever The point
they make is that If Cuba is given as
sistance she will not ask for annex
alton in the next fifty years.
1t is pretty hard to get at the truth
of what is going on in Washington.
There are no doubt schemes of which
the public hears nothing. AS a matter
of fact if we are under obligations to
lend Cuba helping hand we ought
to discharge the obligation promptly.
and without any regard to the uues-
ton as to whether or not annexation
would be delayed. 1t is by no means
certain that annexation would be a
good thing for this country. We have
got about as much of the race dues-
tion now as we know what to do with.
Annexation would make that question
even more troublesome than it is.

A Movement for the Combination of
 Eastern Companies.

Cincinnati, July S.-The ConfeetiOners' Review, of this city, says: A report comes from the east that a movement has been started for the purpose of combining all the eastern candy com panies under one management. The movement is said to be backed by the Standard Oil company. According to current report, the Standard Oil com pany has been engaged in securing a proprietorship of the most extensive su- gar plants in the west. which lends col- or to the report of the eastern candy combine. The plan was to combine all the candy companies with the Inde- pendent Glucose company in New York. The proposition was rejected owing to the fear that the Corn Products com pany would acquire candy plants and open war in the sugar as well as the candy trade.

CHICAGO FREIGHT STRIKE.
Possibility That Settlement May be
 Reached TG-day.

Chicago, July S.-Through the efforts of Chairman Job, of the state arbitra- ton committee, series of meetings has been arranged for 10 o'clock tomorrow morning between the managers of each of the roads and committee of five men from the same line.
 Chairman Job went to each railroad separately and asked the general man. ager if he would receive committee of the strikers. In every instance he was informed that the committee would be received if it was understood that it came from the employees of the road and not from the Freight Handlers union. Then Mr. Job reported to the strikers his success with the railroads and secured their consent to the meet ings. The conference will be held at 10 a. m. These committees will not of themselves be empowered to settle the strike, and whatever the agreement may be it will be reported back to the officials of the union at o'clock for ap- proval.
 Chairman Job said tonight that he thought he had inserted the entering wedge for the settlement of the strike. President Curray, of the Freight Handlers union, said tonight: "I feel assured that the difficulty will be amic- ably adjusted before tomorrow night. ' The Teamsters' union has voted against joining the strike.

FOR INSULTING THE FLAG.
Man Fined sIO in soston-AIsO Got a
 Beating.

Boston, July S.-Charles Roberts. an Englishman, and assistant steward on the Cunarder SaxOnia, was fined S10 in the East Boston district court to-day on pleading guilty to a charge of desc crating the American flag. Roberts, with two companions, was enjoying the Fourth of July in East Boston and was somewhat intoxicated. The trio visited one of the hotels there and seated themselves at table. While waiting to be served with refreshments Roberts took a small American flag from his pocket, and after making some insult ing remarks tore the flag into shreds and threw them in the face of stran- ger.
 The insult to the flag was witnessed by a number of visitors, who drove the three men into the street, where the stranger singled out Roberts and gave him such a beating that the latter had to cry for mercy and has since been confined to the ship. The police, hear ing of the case, had Roberts taken into court.

INSISTS ON EARLY CORONATION.
King Declines All Plans Until Cere-
 rnouy Takes Place.

London, July S.-The news that the coronation of King Edward was to be held before the middle of August was published in American before it was known here. The London Times and other papers this morning confirm the announcement cabled to the United States yesterday.
 From the same excellent source it is learned to-day that the pressing for ward of the coronation was due to the personal insistence of the king. His doctors were at first opposed to such an early date, but the king declined to agree to any other plans until he is crowned, and the physicians. finally realizing that more danger was likely to arise in opposing his majesty on this point, agreed to 1t.
 They now see the king was right. and that it is far better for him to get through the turmoil of the coronation as soon as possible than to have 1t hang ing over kim for months
 King Edward has determined not tc break up the court at Buckingham palace until after the coronation. He may go on board his yacht for a few days cruise. but he is more likely tc remain in London till the affair is over and then take a prolonged holiday.
 The bulletin regarding the condition of King Edward, posted at Buckingham palace at 10 o'clock this morning, read:
 "The kings progress is all that can bt desired. (Signed) Treves, Laking, Bar low"
 It was said at Buckingham palace to. night that King Edwards progress wa: in no way retarded.
