assembled, that it declares its unalterable
opposition to the proposed constitutions al
amendment. through which, under pre-
tended necessity of relief from illiterate
and corrupt negro suffrage, the right of

than the whole number of colored voters
in our State may be placed in the hands
of illterate and corrupt election officers,
and the exercise of that right generally
rendered less secure than under existing
law.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with To-
Cal treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and, therefore, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only cnnst;tu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to tea
spoonful 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials.

Moman'S Dress,

But, my dear, good Odo, a wonan's
husband is not the man wife dresses
for. She makes herself as attractive
as she can for everybody worth know
ing. You must be an extraordinary
person il you suppose that am going
in for the red and green transfcrma-
ton treatment for you-simply for
you. "A woman who is really woman
and not a hockey player has to watch
the fashion as closely as a cook
watches a pct; and the married
woman of the present day must do all
she can to look like the unmarried
woman of yesterday. It is. the mar
ried women who are the most popular
with men. It is the married women
who control politics, the army Htera-
ture and the sttge. Therefore cant
you see how necessary it is for them
to do all they can to remain attrac:-

sary, or black teeth and white eyes

Easily Cured Of "Cai1car.U

A New Yorker who recently lost
his father from cancer of the throat
seemed suddenly afflicted with the
same disease His throat bothered
him necessarily. his speech became al.
most unintelligible and he grew hag-
gard and thin from anxiety and pain.
Most of all he missed his cigars, for
his physician at once cut off all smols-
ing. One Gay he met an old college
friend who had developed into a sue
cessful dentist. In the course of their
first conversation the patient men
toned that he had been having sore
trouble with the plate attached to an
upper set Of false teeth.
A large and complicated bridge was
finally inserted and the plate discard
ed. To the patients anazement, the
throat trouble disappeared along with

IN TIE CRADLE or TEARS.
Strange Cradle in Which Arc P!Aced
Griefs of the World.

GrIcfS OF the World.
There is a cradle within the door
of one Of the great institutions OF New
York before which constantly re.
curing tragedy is being enacted. 1t
is plain cradle, quite simply draped
! in white, but VITA such look of cozy
comfort about it that one would
l. scarcely suspect it to be cradle of
sorrow.
And this cradle is the most useful
and, in a way, the most inhabited
cradle in the world. Day after day.
and year after year, it is the recipient
of more small wayfaring souls than
| any other cradle in the history of the
race. In it the real children of sorrow
| are placed and over it more tears are
shed than if it were an open grave.
| 1t is the place where annually 1000
foUndlings are placed-the silent wit.
ness Of more heartbreaEiDg scenes
than any other cradle since the world
began. For nearly thirty-five years
it has stood where it does today,
ready dy-draped, open, while as many
/ thousand mothers have stolen shame
faced!y in and after looking hopeless
| ly about, have laid their helpless off
| spring within its depths.
For thirty~nve years, summer and
| winter, in the bitterest' cold and the
most sitting heat, it has seen them
| come-the poor, the rich; the humble,
the proud = the beautiful, the homely-
and one by one they have laid their
!, , children down and broc1ed over them,
whether it were POSSIBLE for human
love to make so great a sacrifice and
yet not die.
| Still the tragedy repeats itself and,
year after year and day after day, the
unlocked door is opened and de-
| throncd virtue enters-the victim of
ignorance ard passion and affection,
and child is robbed CT an honorable
