A WOMAN'S COMPLEXION.

1t is rank foolishness to attempt to
remove sallowness or greaisness OF the
skin by the use Of cosmetics, or
"local" treatment as advocated by
the beauty doctors" The only safe
and sure way that woman can i'm
prove her complexion is by purifying
and enriching the blood, which can
only be accomplished by keeping the
liver healthy and active. The liver is
the seat of disease and blood pollution.
Green's august Flower acts directly
on the liver, cleanses and enriches the
blood, puriiies the complexion. 1t
also cures constipation, biliousness,
nervousness, and induces refreshing
sleep. A single bottle of August
Flower has been known to cure the
most pronounced and distressing cases
of dyspepsia ana indigestion. New
triab size bottle, 25 cents; regular
size. 70 Gems. At all druggists.

PRESIDENCIA

A los correligionarios del distrito
municipal:
En- Ia session extraordinaria celebra-
da por este Comite la noche del sabado
fltimo, Sc acordo verifcar una asamblea
de los federales de San Juan ell dia 81
del actual, las dos de la tarde, en- los
altos de la casa n1mero % de la Gale
<AllenS, con ell objetO de renoVar ell per-
sonal de que Sc compone dicho Comite,
como tambien para tratar de otros par
ticulares relatives sus funciones.
Es innecesariO que me detenga q
exponer la importancia de dicho acto,
por que nadie Sc oculta la convenien-
cia de que los Comit6s locales de los par
tidos polfticOs sc muevan siempre den
tro de la esfera de una buena organiza-
ci6n, para poder ss1 cooperar constante-
mente mantener en- pie la fuerza que
representa-.
De aquf Sc deduce que los Comites
locales, aun en- los periodos de calma,
han de funcionar con la debida regulari-,
dad, para que al entrar en- la lucha de
los comiciOs despleguen sus fuerzas to-
das perfectamente Organizadas.
No Sc me Oculta que Sc halla palpl
tante-y 10 estara por muchos afios-el
profundo disgustO que en- los federales
produjeron las inauditas violencias con
que Sc nos arrebat6 Ell triunfo' en- las

jo de rcconocer tambien que aquellos
infcuos procedimientos, fomentados y
sostenidos por ell va fracasado Goberna-
dor de Puerto Rico Mr.. Hunt, son ca
PAGES de llevar ell desaliento los pocos
perseverantes en- las luchas polfticas;
pero no obstante este, yo estimo que
debemos continuar sosteniendo los idea
les que persigue ell Partido Federal
Americana, porque asf solo asf no re-
suItaran esteriles en- ell porvenir las lu-
chas que ell mismo viene librando en-
favor de los derechos del pueblo puer-
torriqueno.
A tales prop6sitos, yo me permito
encarecer los federales de San Juan,

ximo domingo, va que ella tiende & fines

ficulties between them. The terms Of
the settlement, however, are not
known. Both ministers are now being
quoted in the most positive terms As

as ready to advocate constitutional re-
forms in Russia as soon as the country
shall be ripe for them.
Minister De White has admitted to
President Shipov of the Moscow

Plehwe has expressed himself in the
