Aby.innian Envoy Arrives.

New York-El-H Hagg-Abdul-lah-Aly-
Sadik- Pasha, prince of the Mohamme-
dan Church, general of the Abyssinian
army, minister of commerce and envoy
of Emperor Menelik to President
Roosevelt, arrived here Sunday on the
steamer Cedric. He comes ostensibly
in regard to the new treaty Of COM
merce between this county and Abys-
sinia, but actually his mission is to
study the possibilities of closer rela-
tions with Europe and America. He
has come to America after a stay in
Berlin, Paris and London.
Menelik is especially interested in
the United States and has already
given home for legation at Ads
Ababa, the capital, in case this country
cares to establish one.
The Pasha speaks no European Ian
guage and travels with an interpreter.
On the steamer he wore European cos
tune, save for red fez, but as soon
as he reached his hotel here he donned
an oriental costume of wonderful col
orings and wore a turban. After two
hours Of prayer the Abyssinian envoy
went for a drive, then returned to the
hotel, where he held an informal re-
ception.

Greatest Dam on Earth.

Fifteen years ago the highest dam
In existencs was the Furens dam (in
France). the total height Of which was
ITO feet. Since then three very much
larger dams have been built in the
United States. These are the Croton
dam in New York. the Clinton water
works dam at Boston and the water
works dam near Denver, on the South
Fork Of the Platte river. says Critten-
den Marriott in November Technical
World Magazine Each Of these at
present holds the record In one re-
spect or another: the Denver dam 10
the highest in the world; the Clinton
lmpounds the largest amount Of water.
and the Croton dam contains the larg-
est mass of masonry. But the Salt
River dam, when finished, will exceed
each Of these in Its own specially; It
will be higher than Denver, will ex-
ceed the Croton dam in masonry, and
will impound twice a. much water az
all three put together. 1t will be 270
feet high from foundation to parapet
will contain 100000 cubic yards OF
masonry. and will impound more than
. million acre-feet of water; that Ia.
more than enough to cover a million
acres G.500 square miles) to depth
Of one foot 1t will form a lake five
miles long and one to two miles wide,
covering an area Of $4,000 acres. Its
cost, with maintenance for ten years.
will be 100000 or $4.OO0.000.

ROOSEVELT At MOBILE.
Overwhelmed With Pleasure
Warmth Of His Welcome.

Mobile, Ala.-That peace hath
her victories no less renowned
than war was never better ex-
emplihed than in the reception
OF President Roosevelt during
his two hours stay in Mobile Mon
day evening. There was general
closing of the business houses and
along the route of the procession from
the union station to the stand on Bien-
vile Square, where the reception cere-
monies took place, the residences and
stores were covered with decorations
OF lights and bunting in the national
colors.
The stand was erected on Bienville
street, facing the square, which long
before the President arrived, was filed
with a struggling crowd OF citizens. 1t
was brilliant with electric lights and
overhead the magnificent grove of live
oaks formed a canopy of green.
1t Is estimated that by the time the
President began his address there was
crowd numbering 10000 people
within the sound of his voice.
He appeared to be overwhelmed
with pleasure at the spontaneity of his
welcome. His seat was on an elevated
dais in a chair which was built by the
students of a technical school in
Japan.
Back Of the chair was an enormous
stuffed bear, eight feet tall, bearing in
its mouth a floral independence bell
and above its head a white dove hold
Ing a streamer on which was the in
scription blessed is the Peacemaker."
The bear was killed in hunting ex-
pedition by Emperor Alexander ii. of
Russia, in 1857, according to the in
scription on a bronze plate on the base
Of the mounting.
Oliver j. Semmes, son OF the Con.
federate admiral Raphael Semmes. pre-
sented to the President and pinned
upon the lapel of his coat handsome
souvenir badge as the gift of the peo-
pie of Mobile.
President Roosevelt was cheered as
he rose to speak. He thanked the peo-
pie for their magnificent reception and
spoke special words of greeting to the
Confederate veterans, who formed a
portion of his escort
Referring to the Panama canal the
President said:
"If we build the canal we must pro-
tect it and police 1t ourselves We
must, therefore. bring up and keep up
our navy to the highest point of efl-
cheney.
I'm the event of war, the American
people must rely mainly upon its vol
unteer soldiers. While it is compare
lively simple act to turn man into
quite good soldier. you can neither
improvise battleship, or the crew OF
a battleship. 1t is not necessary that
we should have a particularly large
navy, but 1t is necessary that, ship for
ship. it should be a little the best in
the world"

Great Slaughter Of Ducks.

Every duck hunter who went out to
the lakes Sunday came home with as
many ducks as he could safely carry
under the law. The slaughter was one
of the greatest known in the history of
the state, as the weather was ideal for
hunting and the game was plentiful
in all parts. One inquisitive hunter.
who had his own bag we'll filled,
counted over 800 ducks at the station
at Barr, when the crowd was waiting
for the train. This did not include the
kill made by the members of the Hot
Air CluD, who came in by later train,
or of those secured by the men who
shot Upper Barr lake. The latter
usually go to their blinds in automo-
biles. returning the same way. A safe
estimate of the number killed about
the Barr lakes is therefore about 1,10O
AS this is only one of the many places
to which the Denver hunters went,
some idea may be secured Of the num-
ber Of duck dinners enjoyed in this
eity yesterday.-Denver Republican.

ALCOHOL IN MOST MEDICINES.
Indispensable Requisite In compoun,
Ing Of Some Prescriptions.

Indispensable Requisite In Compound
Ing OF Some Prescriptions.
It 10 Of course true that some pro-
prfetary medicines contain alcohol and
nearly all liquid medicines prescribed
by physicians contain 1t. No honest
man will defend the sale OF intoxi-
cants under the guise of medicine: but
every honest man should protest
against = system of wholesale denun-
citation horn of malice. or ignorance
OF pharmaceutical principles. and fos-
tered by selfish interests. 1t is as
sumed that alcohol is the cause Of in
temperance; but there is q great dif
ference between alcohol and whisky.
II . substitute for alcohol could be
found for use in the manufacture Of
medicines. its .iscoverer would render
great service to the profession OF
pharmacy and the science Of medi-
cine. for alcohol is q very expensive
Ingredient and q cheaper substitute
would be gladly accepted. Unfortun-
ately the word alcohol. in the minds
OF many people is associated exclu-
sively with bar-rooms, drunkenness
and all forms of degradation and vice.
This Is due to a lack OF knowledge
by the general public OF the fact that
alcohol is an Indispensable requisite
In drugs, tinctures and fluid extracts.
All fluid extracts and tinctures on the
druggists shelves contain from 20 to
80 per cent OF alcohol; and OF all
liquid medicines prescribed by ply
sicians more than rs per cent contain
1t In large proportions.
Alcohol is required to preserve or
ganic substances from deterioration
and from freezing. and 1t is also re-
Quired to dissolve substances not solu-
BILE in water. while 1t contributes to
their preservation when dissolved.
Diluted alcohol is largely employed in
fluid extracts: and whenever greater
strength OF alcohol is required as q
solvent (for extracting medicinal prin-
ciples) the medicine Is OF such a char
acter as to preclude a large dosage;
and for this reason preparations. even
II containing SO per cent or more OF
alcohol. are practically less intoxIcat-
Ing than beer. In such cases the
character of the medicinal constituents
is such as to absolutely forbid the
taking OF the medicine In any way
except in very small doses and at
stated intervals only. To assume that
any great number of proprietary med
icines are used as beverages Is the
veriest absurdity.-Exchange

CANAL WILL BE EuiLT.
So Says the President at Jacksonville,
Florida.

Jacksonville, F1a.-The reception to
President Roosevelt Saturday was a
hearty one. Thousands thronged the
streets on the line of march and the
President showed in his manner his
manifested on every side. In his ad-
dress he SAID:
Here in Florida. the first of the
Gulf states which have visited upon
this trip, l wish to say special word
about the Panama canal. 1 believe
that the canal will be of great benefit
to all our people, but most of all to
the states of the South Atlantic, the
Gulf and the Pacific slope.
When completed the canal will
stand as a monument to this nation;
for 1t will be the greatest engineering
feat ever accomplished in the world. 1t
will be good thing for the world as a
whole, and for the people Of the 18TH
mus and the the northern portions of
South America in particular. Because
of our especial interest in it, and be-
cause Of the position we occupy on this
hemisphere, it is a matter of special
pride to us that our nation, the Ameri-
can nation, should have undertaken the
performance of this world duty.
"A body of the most eminent engi-
neers in the world, both Americans
and foreigners, has been summoned to
advise as to the exact type of canal
which should be built. At no distant
date l hope to be able to announce
what their advice is, and also the ac-
ton taken upon their advice. Mean
while the work is already well under
way, and has advanced sufficiently far
to enable me to announce with GER
tainty that it can surely be accom-
plished, and probably at rather less ex-
pense than was anticipated.
But upon the last point, as well as
upon the question of time, no positive
statement can be made until the re-
port Of the commission Of engineers as
to the exact type of canal has been re-
ceived. The work is as difficult as it
is important; and it is of course newt.
able that from time to time difficulties
will occur and checks be encountered
mo check that may come will be Of
more than trivial and passing conse-
quences, will inflict any permanent
damage. or cause any serious delay.
The work can be done, is being DONE
and will be done. What has already
been accomplished Is guaranty as to
the future.
"The veterans of the Civil War who
are here present will tell you that the
very rear of an army, even when it is
victorious, is apt to look and behave as
IL the victory were defeat. And just
the same thing is true in any great en-
terprise in civil life; there are always
weaklings who get trampled down or
lose heart, and there are always peo-
pie who listen 20 their complaints.
They amount to nothing one way or
the other, 30 far as achieving results
is concerned; and their complaints
and outcries need never detain u.s."

STRENGTHEN THE STOMACH

Indigestion Instead Of Merely
Relieving Symptoms.

There are plenty of remedies by which
You can relieve for the time heartburn,
pain and gas on the stomach and can
smother nervous sensations and induce
artificial sleep. You can humor your
stomach by giving it predigested food.
But when you take your next meal all
your trouble begins afresh.
There is only one sensible thing to do.
Strengthen the stomach and do away
with the necessity for drugs and arti.
ficial foods. The best rehedy ever found
for this purpose is the one that was used
by +. E. Strong, of Capleville, Shelby
