the banks Of the La Plata, stands the
massive government building, on the
other the cathedral, the archi-Episco-
pal palace and the halls of congress.
Another step and the principal streets
OF the city are reached-the newly
opened Avenida de Mayo, the Gale
Rivadia, Victoria, San Martin and
Florida, along which are located the
fashionable stores, clubs and banks.
The Gale Florida, however, is the real
center of the city's life-what Broad
way is to New ork and State street
to Chicago.
Next to the parks, the karbor and
stately schools and colleges, the most
interesting point in Buenus Ayres is
the magnificent old cemetery. the
RecOleta. From the RecOleta Il boule-
ward leads to Palermo, a dainty spot
on the river, and to the Parque de
Febrero with its wonderful avenue
Of palms, the finest thing of its kind
in the world. Nowhere is The elegance
of South American life accentuated as
forcibly as in this charming locality.
On the so-called "Corso days" ana on
Sundays, bloOded teams, five and six
abreast, crowd the boulevard drive
way and excite the admiration Of
thousands of pedestrians. The great
park is connected with the city by d
multitude of trolley lines and Il rail-
way. The latter also runs to the race
track, to Beigrano. suburb of beauti-
full villas, and to Tigre, a partially
wooded island in the Parana river.
What Palermo and the race course
are to driving and racing Tigre is to
acquatic sports, of which the natives
seem to be very fond.
General social life does not differ
much from that of large cities in
other lanGs, and there are but few
original street types to attract the
| travellers attention. Among the lat
ter are the "changadors' husky fell
lows to be seen on every street corner,
waiting for odd jobs as messengers,
rug beaterS or anything else that may
turn up. Another striking character
is the milk man who comes to town
bright and early in the morning,
mounted on a patient piece of horse
flesh, carrying the Tactical fluid in tin
| cans enclosed in OK hides. y few years
! ago still more interesting sight de-
| lighted tourists. In the morning the
milkman drove his COWS through the
streets and delivered the milk direct
from the animal to the consumer, thus
doing away with the necessity of a
milk inspection department. But
these good old days" are almost over.
The rapid progress in the development
of the city is supplanting archaic Gus
! toms and manners and but a few days
hence and Buenos Ayres will in all
respects follow the methodical and
uninteresting routine which char
acterizes life in metropolitan centers

Especial Buenos Ayres letter.

LIP S4t'i A'NS44SS ~ ASS A~-SNSA'I
NNE of the most important COM
~ mercial centers of South Amer
lea is Buenos Ayres, the capital
of the Argentine Republic. which has
a population of nearly 100000 and is
connected with Europe and New York
by several direct lines of steamships.
The city of Buenos Ayres is situa ted
on the right bank Of the mouth of the
La Plata river, which at this point is
about 20 miles in width Until few
years ago ocean liners were compelled
to anchor 20 miles outside of the port,
owing to the shallowness of the river
bed, and passengers and freight had
to be transferred to small river steam
ers; but now the city has a magniti-
cent harbor with modern docks and the
largest ships can discharge passengers
and cargoes in close proximity to the
leading hotels and railway stations.
But Buenos Ayres is Of Importance not
only on account of its foreign com
merce, but also because it is the ter
minus of the La Plata River Navigation

as far north and northwest as Para

of railroads connects the capital with
every province of the republic.
The European and American ele-
ment has grown quite influential dur
ing the past two decades and has con
tributed not little to the development
of the country. The Italians constitute
the largest part of the foreign popua-
ton, closely followed by Spaniards and
Frenchmen. The English, German and
American colonies are far less impor-
tant as far as numbers are concerned,

Skin, Scalp and Blood
Humours
From pimpIes to SCrotuIa
From Infancy to Age
Speedily Cured by Cutieura
When All Else Fails.

The agonizing itching and burning of
the skin, as in Eczema; the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in scaled
head; the facial disfgurements, as in
acne and ringworm the awful suffer-
ing of infants, and anxiety of worn
out parents, as in milk crust, letter and
salt rheum,-all demand q remedy of
almost superhuman virtues to success
fully cope with them. That Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Resolvent are such
stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement is made regarding them that
is not justified by the strongest evil
dence. The purity and sweetness, the
power to afford immediate relief, the
certainty of speedy and permanent cure,
the absolute safety and great economy,
have made them the standard skin
cures, blood purifiers and humour rene
dies of the civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface of crusts and scales and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without
rubbing, and apply Cuticura Oint-
menu lreely, TO alldy lCcnluS, HIlCatlou
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, take Cuticura Resolvent, to
cool and cleanse the blood. This COM
plete local and constitutional treatment
affords instant relief, permits rest and
sleep in the severest forms of eczema

-'If you want to find the real
sentiment with regard to the dis
pensary, said leading physician
of Yorkvllle to the reporter a few
days ago, you go around and talk
with the mothers of families in
the country surrounding. AS n
rule they did not have great
deal to say while the agitation was
going on. They seemed inclined
to yield to the argument that the
disrensary was better than the
blind tiger. But within the past
year many mothers have noted
liquor effects that they did not see
while the business was confined
exclusively to the tigers. Many
of them are having 10 contend
with drunkenness in their homes,
and knowing that the dispensary
is entirely responsible, their views
have become definite and fixed.
If the question of doing away
with the dispensary and restoring
old conditions were left to the
mothers of this vicinity | do not
think there would be q great deal
of doubt as to the result. "-York-

In such case, where murder
ensues, he holds that, though q
