died men used to make pilgrimages to
his dwelling as to shrine
The fact that Carroll was devout
Roman Catholic was significantly
used by Mr.. Hoar to protest against
anti-Catholic preiudices in America.
He said: II would like to speak mo-
ment for one lesson which has often
been forgotten WHICH the life of
Charles Carroll teaches along among
his illustrious companions: Charles
Carroll was devout Catholic. He be-
lOnged to that church which preserv-
ed for mankind learning. literature
and law through the gloomy centur-
les known as the dark ages. Yet it is
the only denomination of christians
against which anything of theological
bitterness or bigotry seems to have
survived, amid the liberality of our
enlightened day. Every few years we
hear of secret societies, and even po-
litical parties, organized with the
sole view of excluding the members of
"a single christian church from their
equal privileges as American citizens.
Yet certainly the men of the Catholic
faith have never been behind their
countrymen either as patriot citizens
or as patriot soldiers. This spirit of
bigotry would have denied the ordin-
airy rights of Americans not only to
Charles Carroll and his illustrious
cousin. but to Montgomery and Phil
Sheridan"
Senator Hoar is one of the few re-
naming statesmen of the old school
in this country, and hence is too
broad and patriotic in his views on
all questions to accept without pro-
test some of the ills that have crept
into the body polite of the nation
since the war with Spain. While
Senator Hoar is still a slave to his
party and hence hopelessly bound to
error. he is a grand old man and his
heart is warmed by the nobler impul-

MaryIand's Revolutionary Heroes.

Maryland has honored two of her
most illustrious sons, Charles Carroll
and John Hanson, by causing statues
of them to be placed in Statuary hall
at the national capitol. Hanson was
well-nigh forgotten, and when his
statue was offered. even statesmen
had to go to the books to learn that

The defeat of the proposition to
make a stage hero out of Cole
Younger. the former bandit, on his
release from the Minnesota peniten-
tiary will be received with great sat
isfaction by all who believe in uplift-
ing the drama by the elimination of
such distasteful features as may
creep into it. 1t is well that the en-
terprise that sought to make Younger
shine before the footlights has been
effectuaHy thwarted by the condition
imposed by the Minnesota authorities
that his pardon is contingent upon
his remaining off the stage. If some
means could be adopted to prevent by
law the dramatic portrayal of the
James boys, Tracy the outlaw. and
similar undertakings, it would have
a decidedly wholesome effect.

NATURES OWN CURE
HyOmei Cures C2tarrh without Dangerous
Dragging of the stomach.

Dragging of the Stomach.
Not until Hyomei was discovered
has is been possible to truthfully say
that a remedy for catarrh was
known.
This remedy is breathed through
the Hyomei inhaler for few minutes
four times day, and during that
time every particle of air taken into
the air passages and lungs is impreg
mated with the germ killing and
health giving Hyomei. 1t is the only
treatment that cures catarrh.
Stomach drugging often causes dis
ordered digestion or brings on some
other diseases, and never makes a
permanent cure of catarrh. Hyomei
not only kills the germs in the throat
and nose, but penetrates to the min
utest air cells in the lungs and enters
the blood with the oxygen, killing the
germs in the blood. 1t frees the mu-
cous membrane from poisonous mi
crobes and gives perfect health.
A complete outfit costs but 81, and
includes an inhaler, dropper and suffi-
cient Hyomei for more than a months
treatment.
T.. II. Thomas has so much faith in
the merit of Hyomei that he agrees
to return the money to any purchaser
who may be dissatisfied.
