THE SECRET OF HER BEAUTIFUL
 COMPLEXION.

Ida and Marian sat talking in the dressing room.
 cI tell you what it is Marian (and she drew her chair closer, your complexion has undergone a great change. You look so different, quite different from what you did three months ago." "Do I look so changed ?" asked Mar ian innocently.
 "Of course you do, and you know you do That is the aggravating part of it, deary Come, tell me. Have you been making up2"
 Marian answered with laugh.
 "What beast you are. What sort of rouge do you use to get that color1" Just then brother Tom came in, having returned from the medical college on his holiday vacation.
 rWhat was Ida calling you names for, Sis?" asked brother Tom.
 cI want to know where she gets that stuff she puts on her face to give her that color and she won't tell me" 1 "Marian did not get that color from any shop, if that's what you mean," said Tom seriously.
 "Marian can fool you as we'll as she fools everybody else," said Ida.
 Brother Tom shook his head
 "1'he leopard cannot change his spots, and a girl cannot change her com, pleKion," persisted Ida.

RECORDS SHOW HIM A STAR

The local baseball management has se- cured the contracts of OutGelder Duffy, Catcher Milrick and Al Millar. the elon- gated outielder who was here while last season.
 Mirck is a new man and was bought from Albany, N. Y. He played with Tom OBrien all last season and according to the records is a star. It is understood that Albany was paid good price for his release.
 The contract with Duffy was secured Birmingham has one of the swiftest players in the business.
 When the news of these contracts was announced to the fans yesterday they grew confident at once and there now seems to be not the slightest doubt about the Coal Barons taking off the pennant In fact, 1t is reported that an order for the flag has already been sent in to a manufacturer and that it will be erected oyer the smoker.

 In the matter of schedule Birmingham got what she wanted. We secured the Fourth of July games but lost Labor Day. All of the holiday games will be pooled, however, and we will not be any loser thereby, except the pleasure of seeing the Barons beat Little Rock two straights.
 Manager Finn, it Is said, may decide to transfer the Labor Day games here any way. so as to save a long jump from At lanta to Arkansas. Little Rock was here last Labor Day and in the morning game played Birmingham an eleven-inning tie, 0 to 0.

Puerto Cabello, February 2S.-The Vene- zuelan gunboat Restaurador, which was captured by the Germans, was handed over by them to the Venezuelan authorl- ties here today.
 At Il o'clock this morning Commander Chalbaud, accompanied by an interpreter and the German commodore, Scheder, went on board the Restaurador, which Is now lying in this harbor, in order to effect the delivery of the ship to Venezuela. At 11:30 o'clock the German flag was lowered, the German cruiser Vineta firing a salute as the colors were brought down. At Z o'clock this afternoon the Restaurador hoisted the Venezuelan flag and was then handed over to Commander Chalbaud by Commodore Scheder. The Vineta immedi- ately afterward steamed out of port.

Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription stands alone, as the one and only remedy for leucorrhea, female weakness, pro- lapsus, or falling of the womb, so abso- lutely specific and sure in curing these common ailments of women, as to war rant its makers in offering to pay, as they hereby do, the sum of $500 reward for a case of the above maladies which they can not cure This is remarkable offer. No other medicine for the cure of womans peculiar ailments is backed by such a remarkable guarantee. No other medicine for woman's ills is pos sessed of the unparalleled curative prop critics that would warrant it's makers in publishing such an offer; no other remedy has such a record of a third of a century of cures on which to base such a remarkable offer.
 M. U. McCiendou, Esq, Merchant Gravel ridge, Ark, writes: My wife (Mrs. L. L. McClendon) was confined to room and bed for some time with indigestion and female trouble Was unable at times to walk across the room. We tried two as good doctors as thought could be found in our part of the country Neither of them did her any good Afterward she decided to write to Dr. Pierce for advice. thought it not wise AS I was sure she would be DuIlcQ pctOTc sue COulu TcCelVc dH dHSWcI but she commenced on your remedies and I could see that she was some better by the time she had taken the third bottle.

 Miss Emma Weller, who is Secretary of the Young Peoples Christian Association, at 1918 Madison Avenue, New York City, says: "Your Favorite Prescription is a boon to sick and tired women, for it cures them when other medicines fail. know whereof I speak, for have had experience with it. For fourteen months had constant head aches seemed too weak to perform my daily duties, and when the day was over was too tired to sleep well. suffered from nervousness and indigestion, and every- thing ate distressed me. Doctored with different physicians but received no relief After reading one of your books I decided to give your FavoIite Prescription trial Am very glad did, for found it was just what I wanted. commenced to improve at once and kept getting better until, after seven weeks was entirely cured. I have remained in perfect health ever since and remain a firm friend of your Favofite Pre- scription.'"
 The dealer who offers substitute for "Favorite Prescription" 1" is only seeking to make the little more profit afforded by less meritorious medicine. His profit is your loss. Therefore, turn your back on him as unworthy of your pat ronage.

Two hundred persons are now isolated. The bull ring is now being used as prison as the jail is undergoing disinfection.
 Among the new cases two occurred among the sentries at the military hos pital and one at the residence of the di- rector of the maritime customs The per son attacked by the plague was a maid servant, who was immediately sent to the lazaretto She died a few hours later
 Mir. Valdez his son Ricardo, and his son-in-law, Eduardo Perez Villanueva, who is general manager of the commer- cia house of Hernandez, Mendla, are now in quarantine.
 The Valdez house Is adjoining that oc- cupied by the governor of the state at the end of Mariana Escobedo street.
 Governor Canedo merits great praise for his devotion to the people Of this plague stricken place. He is active in all pre- ventive measures and shows great per sonal courage. He refuses to leave the city and go back to the state capitol until the plague is stamped out.
