to Newchwang."
1T would have read like a story book
only few years ago. Nobody a gem
Grafton ago would have believed tina t
before the Goth century was two years
old three fast trains a week would be
running between far-off Irkutsls and
st. Petersburg. And not merely ordi-
nary trains, but trains de luxe with
dining ears, baths, barber shops ana
library.
That they are well patroniZed is
shown by notice in the timetable
warning travellers to engage compart-
ments or seats on the train day in
advance.
First-class fare frcm Irkutsk to 81.
Petersburg is $6257 The sleeper costs
$ll.60 for the journey. by travelling
second-class, one can make the trip,
sleeper included, for $541S. 1t is made
in fairly regular time. Travellers from
London have arrived in Newchwang
within 20 days.
Russian characteristic is to be not
ed in the fact that with all the luxury
of through trains, travellers are advis-
ed that they must furnish their own
soap, blankets and pillows.

CHANGE OF CLIMATE
Not Necessary In Order to Cure Ca.
tarrh

The popular idea that the only cure
for chronic catarrh is change of
climate. is a mistake because catarrh
| is found in all climates in all sections
of the country; and even il change Of
climate should benefit for !. time the
! catarrh will certain,y return.
Catarrh may be readily cured in any
climate. but the only way to do Ii is to
destroy or remove from the system the
catarrhal germs which cause all the
mischief.
The treatment by inhalers, sprays,
powders and washes has been proven
almost useless in making permanent
cure. as they do not reach the seat Of
disease. which is in the blood and can
BE- reached only by an internal remedy

NEEDED LESSON
About to Be Given Venezuela
by Europeans.
United States Will Not Object to
Settling Private QuarreIs.
Another Invasion of Venezuela by Re-
bells Is Reported.

Cologne, Germany. Nov. 24-In an
evidently inspired note the Cologne Ga
zette, Monday. says:
England should certainly teach
Venezuela a sharp lesson since Pres.
Castro refuses TO recognize the de-
nands of justice and equity. Germany
and other states have also serious
grounds for complaint and it is time
the relations of Venezuela towards for
eisn powers should be defined"
Washington, Nov. 24-The state de-
partment is thoroughly well Informed
of the length to which Great Britain,
Germany and other European powers
propose to go in their dealings with
Venezuela. Great Britain and Ger
many, have, in fact. sounded the de-
partment to learn whether any obpec-
tons would be made to active measures
on their part to secure the collection of
debts due their citizens on account Of
violated concessions and the destruc-
ton of their property incident to the
internal dissensiOns which have ragged
in Venezuela for several years past.
The department has been extremely
cautious in dealing with these inquiries,
but the substance of it's replies in all
cases has been set out in the declara-
ton of President Roosevelt that the
United States did not construe the
Monroe doctrine to mean that it should
shelter any of the American republics
against the results of their own mis-
deeds or violations of international
amenity.
Tho only condition made by the
President that the punishment inflicted
upon any of these South and Central
American republics by European
power must not include the seizure by
that power of any American soil.

The sentiment in favor OF incorpor-
ating Clifton is growing rapidly. 1t
seems to be the only remedy for exist
ing evils. The time has arrived IL
the history Of Clifton when thor
ough system OF sewerage is essential
to the health of its inhabitants. The
surface closets must go, and the peo-
pie who are accustomed to living in
filth must be compelled to clean their
premises and keep them clean. Pres
ent conditions cannot be tolerated for
another year, and TO remedy them
will cost considerable money and this
cannot be had without incorporation.
Too much has always been, and is now,
expected from theArizOna Copper COM
panv. which is most liberal, bat the
town has grown until the realty hold
ings OF the company are OF minor I'M
portance, and they cannot longer be
expected TO look after the sanitary
condition Of the entire town. The
town could be incorporated under a
special act OF the legislature, defining
the powers of its municipality, reeu-
lating its direct tax on property and
also providing a property qualification
for voters which would leave the con-
troll Of its affair in the hands OF tax
payers, and prove bar to the floating
population and irresponsible voters
who are too often instrumental
in aiding boodlers to plumber the tax
payers in other tows. Clifton has long
since passed the camp" stage, and
should now assume the responsibilities
of self-government. The question Is
open for discussion, and is being dis
cussed daily. The columns OF the ERA
are open to all who wish TO discuss
the question.

fused to quarantine the patients,
though all OF the doctors of Clifton
pronounced it smallpox. which it is

this disease been quarantined when it
first made its appearance, much trou-
