"If you are not careful you will ave
Ozoena!n This remark was made 70 the
writer of this article one day by a special
list who was treating him for catarrh.
Few people know what Ozoena is. Well,
it is an advanced stage of catarrh-the
point where the bone bordering the nasal
passages--the posterior cavites-com-
mences to decay, and there comes from
the head a steady discharge of yellow
mucus which smells dreadfully. When
one has Ozoena you can't stay in the room
with him on account of the smell.
Catarrh if it remains in the head will inva-
riably run into Ozoena i'm time. If it goes
down the bronchial tubes it will termi-
nate in consumption. Which would you
prefer? Catarrh is diseased condition
of the mucous membranes and is caused
by poor nourishment of the membranes
by the blood-in other words, diseased
condition of the blood.
Local applications wouldn't cure ca
tarrh in hundred years. You must use
internal means and reach it through the
blood. AS scientific cure for catarrh,
"Blood Wine" is admittedly the newest
and most reliable form of treatment. 1t
quickly stops all those aggravating fea-
lures of the annoying and fatal disease,
such as dropping in the throat, sore
throat, excessive secretions from the
nose, splitting up of hard chunks, watery
eyes, ETC., and cleanses the nasal pas

and so far advanced that she was on the
verge of passing away. She made

The greatest interest is manifested
at the state department in the news
which has just come from Colombia
that President Marroquin may seek
to ratify the Panama canal treaty
with the help of his ministers and
without waiting for the action of
Congress. AS such action would be
q wide deviation from the American
conception of Presidents powers,
the constitution of Colombia is being
carefully studied in order to ascer-
tain. if possible, on what ground the
President of Colombia assumes to have
this power. 1t is known that public
order has not been restored in the re-
public of Colombia and that every ma
terial consideration would indicate the
advisability of the ratification of the
treaty. but considerable doubt is ex-
pressed as to whether this country
would be warranted in accepting a
treaty ratified by SO unusual pro-
cedure. Admiral Walker and other

reached $500, 600, 600 in single year

The wholesale investigation into
affairs at the post-offic department
still continues, and in the opinion of
the postmaster general will occupy
another two months before it is
completed. Since General Payne re-
turned to Washington there has been
considerable decrease in the news
obtainable by the newspapers and
when your correspondent asked the
postmaster general if he could not ar
range to give out few news items
daily, Mr.. Payne replied laconically,
"Would you have me bell the cat?'
Mr.. Payne is most courteous to
the newspaper men and receives them
daily at O'Clock p. m. He appears to
have become accustomed to the Cross
questioning to which the twenty or
thirty correspondents submit him and
seems to enjoy what he calls his
"press receptions. - 1t is evident that,
regardless of Irregularities and such
rascality as may have been practiced
in the past, there will be general re-
organization of the system. The post
master general is authority for the
statement that when this is complet-
ed it will be impossible for one Off
cial to make allowance apd then pass
upon the expenditures therefor and
sign the vouchers. AS no general re-
organization has taken place since
Mr.. Wanamaker was postmaster gen.
eral and the gross receipts in the iu-
terval have increased from S56, 600, DOC
to $40, 600, 600 annually, the necessity
for an overhauling is but natural.

The Northern Securities decision
continues to occupy the attention of
the financiers and of the legal lights
in Washington, and several New York
attorneys have come to Washington to
ascertain if there was no means by
which relief could be obtained from
the decree of the court of appeals.
The attorney general very wisely left
town soon after the decision was an
nounced and his exact whereabouts is
not known. 1t was rumored that he
had gone west to consult the President
but that has been denied and it is now
! believed this western trip is in con-
nection with the beef trust. Mean
while, the capitalists of the east are
crying out against the Sherman anti

ed with scorn, and their newspaper
organs are loudly demanding its repeal,
or at least its amendment, so that its
provisions shall not apply to railroads.

will meet in New York on Tuesday
