FRIDAY, JANUARY B, 1903.

Minister Bowen has arrived in Wash ington from Venezuela with plenipo- tentiary powers to conduct settle ment. Unfortunately the conditions here are not as discouraging as he hoped they would be. The powers still insist that the claims of each shall be settled separately and ad ref erendum, that is, that the home gov ernment must be consulted with re- gard to every move. The first and most earnest effort of MT Bowen will be to secure the removal of the block ade. but even that promises to be tedious undertaking unless the attitude of the powers changes materially.
 The hope is expressed in official circles that the belligerency of Germany may so disgust Great Britain as to prompt the latter to seek an early escape from the compromising attitude in which Germany has succeeded in plac- ing her.

THE FLOWER OF THE ORIENT
Courtesy and AHx enti iv eness of the Japa eve Among Tn ems elves
 Is Charming.

It is still true that westward rhe course of empire takes it's way, but any one who disdains the teachings of the east must be a superficial stu dent of human life and manners, says Youths Companion.
 A company of Japanese, a. baron and baroness with their suite, have been visiting the United States for the study of certain commercial con- tions. As they sailed away on a great ocean-liner they showed to marked advantage among the throng of American and English tourists.
 They were short, swarthy, plain of feature, as we count p1ainness. save for one extremely pretty young woman. But they had the manners of great nobles. They were gentle of bearing considerate of the claims and the pleasures of others, low-voiced, unconsclous-or seemingly uncon- sc1ous-of rude stares or noisy com ment.
 Their courtesy among themselves was beautiful to watchs It~was mo- ticeable that the radiant girl was not more devotedly attended by the men than were the middle-aged wom- en, who had no slightest pretension to beauty.
 Among the crowd of loud-speaking, pushing, self-satisfied dwellers in this western hemisphere this little group of customers were like some white, still bloom of one of their own exquisitely blossoming trees the final product of ages on ages of the cultivation that forgets nothing, omlts nothing that may enhance the charm of social life and intercourse.

M edicaI Bubbles,

Doctors have invented new form oY bubble. Neuralgia, sciatica and 1um- bago are known to be affections of the ends of the nerves which lie just under the skin of the painful region. It has been discovered that by injecting air under the skin the ends of the nerves are heightened and the pain relieved. The bubble of air is pressed by the fingers and caused to move about until all parts are relieved. In dislocations, fractures and bruises the same treat ment has given relief.-London Globe.

 Later at She hospital Wood recov- cred consciousness and related his ex- perience. He said that his foot was cut off in the accident, but few ten. dons kept him prisoner. He felt the tender settling, and, realizing that he would be crushed to death, he took his knife and cut the foot completely off. Soon after crawling out the ten. der fell where his body had been.

Poor Lo as a workdngman.

The westward march of civilized labor has effected no change more re- markable than the conversion of the hitherto lazy, shiftless Indian "buck" into a workingman at $1.50 a day. Large gangs of them are now em- ployed by western railroad in track laying, and they seem to like the work better than prancing around on ponies, decked out with feathers and war paint. Perhaps the strangest part of the new condition is the fact that it is the men and not the women that are doing the work, a complete reversal of the old way. Thus has the long, suffering squaw been emancipated.- Chicago Chronicle.

Senator Cornelius Tracy is just be- ginning a political career, which, we are inclined to think, is bound to bring him considerable uneasiness. to say the least. The senator, we imagine, is too sensitive, too honest, perhaps to be in politics. But while he is in the game he must expect to get his knocks as well as the rest of them. The fact that he is doing his duty toward him. self and his constituents. as he sees dt. will not save him either. There are

A SUBSTITUTE FOR RUBBER.

After experimenting for several years
substitute for rubber has been per-
fected. 1t is produced, principally. from
asphalt, and can be used in the manu-
facture of rubber goods, linoleum, etc.
A substitute of this kind will probably
answer as well as the genuine article,
but in medicine it has been proven, time
and again, that all substitutes are dan
gerous. Therefore beware ofthem when
purchasing Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
the celebrated family medicine for stom
ach. liver and kidney ills, by noticing
that our private stamp over the neck of
the bottle is unbroken. The Bitters
positively cures nausea, headache,
dizziness, dyspepsia, Indigestion, con-
stipation, nervousness and general
weakness. Be sure to give It trial.
For sale by all druggists and general
dealers.

"HanS Rrejtmonn" and Bret Hart.

us that all the principal Hans Brett

"Breitmann as Politician" We're
merely written to fill up letters to a
friend. and that he kept no copies of
them; in fact, utterly forgot them.
BY his friend they were published in
a sporting paper. The public" he
says. found them out long before
did and it is not often that it gets
ahead Of a poet in appreciation of his
own work" Bret Harte appears to
have gone through the same experience,
for Leland relates that one evening
after dinner. at the house Of Mr..
Truebner, when Bret Harte was ask
ed to repeat the Heather Chinee.' he
could not do so. as he had never learn
ed it, which is not such an unusual
