No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlaln,s
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures colds
and grip effectually and permanently,
but prevents these diseases from re-
sulting in pneumonia. 1t is also GER
tain cure for Group. Whooping cough
is not dangerous when this remedy is
given. 1t contains no opium or other
harmful substance and may be given as
confidently to baby as to an adult. 1t
is also pleasant to take. When all OF
these facts are taken into consideration
it is not surprising that people in foreign
lands, as well as at home, esteem this
remedy very highly and very few are
willing to take any other after having
once used it. For sale by Shurtleff &

The Argus quotes Senator German as
follows, and the delicate humor of the
: last sentence in the paragraph is worth
noting. Senator German may be sur
prised at the result of the coming presi-
Dental election, but we're opining that
he won't:
Senator German says that this years cam
paign reminds him very much of the campaign
Of 1892. There was much apathy on both sides
In that year, the candidates being Cleveland and
Harrison. and the politicians were all at sea a
to the outcome OF the election. Cleveland was
elected by large majority after . very quiet
campaign. The Senator says that the people this
year are quietly studying the issues. just as In
is92 and he feels that the politicians will be sur
prised by the outcome. Senator German II

A justice in Lee, Mass, who fined a
man for overspeeding his automobile the
other day not only had to apologize for
doing it, but got the government OF
Massachusetts, and the United States
government into an international COM
plication. The offender was an attache
% the British embassy at Washington,
and as such exempt from arrest. Such
q condition is of course desirable, even
necessary, but the kind of a man who
will presume on his exemption to violate
state laws or local regulations is good
kind to have sent back to England by
request.
'The youngest vice-president at in
auguration was SO, the oldest was 69,'

The figures given out show that the
attendance at the st. Louis worlds fair
Is only about two-thirds what it was at
the Chicago fair at the same time in the

everything that had gone before in mag
nitude, until Ii came to the attendance,
and there they haven't been able to
maintain the proportion. Yet as the
total of admissions so far is about
$4,000, 900, the great educational value
of the fair In far from being lost.

To Thwart Vandals

In compliance with an order received
at the League Island navy yard, Phil
adelphia, from Washington, detail
of marines was sent to Cramps ship
yard to guard the armored cruiser
Pennsylvania, which is receiving the
finishing touches preparatory to a
builders trial. On the ways are the
armored cruiser Tennessee and the
battleships Idaho and Mississippi.
With the regularly detailed watchers
employed by the Cramp company the
marines will pay special attention to
the Pennsylvania and Tennessee.
This is the first time in the history of
either Cramps or the League Island
navy yard that marines have guarded
ships in course of construction. No
official statement could be secured as
to the reason for this action, but it is
understood to be precautionary meas
ure in consequence of the recent al.
legged attempts to disable the battle
ship Connecticut at the Brooklyn
navy yard.

the music of the new opera. - Mad
cap Princess is a musical setting for
the fascinating romance of Mary Tudor
and Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk.
1t is theme on which librettist and
composer might we'll be expected to
show the best work of which they are
capable. The story has almost reach
ed the point of familiarity known as
''hackneyed, /" and needs TO be sketch
ed here only so far as it is epitomized
IN this particular production.
The first act. which is laid in Wind.
sor Park, in the immediate neighbor-
hood Of the famous castle, shows the
royal madcap engaged first in MAY
day revels, and then in the more ex
acting occupation for one of her rank,
of making love to the man of all men
for her. The opera is credited with
having many pretty musical numbers.
Miss Glaser's Cavalier" song is es-
pecially singled out, and more than
one sparkling mot and speech are put
