THE EVILS OF
 CONSTIPATION.
Everyone Knows When He is Consti- pated and Everyone Should Know the Risk He is Running When He Fails to Promptly
 Correct it.
Any Disease Epidemic or Otherwise to Which He or She May be Exposed
 is Sure to Result Seriously.

There are two ways to remove consti- patton; the wrong way is to drench the bowels with powerful, griping, drastic cathartic that injures the coating of the bowel channels and produces an early return of the trouble in a more chronic form. The right way is to use a natural, easy and mild laxative that tones up and strengthens the bowels and leaves a healthful influence behind it. Prickly Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just as thoroughly as the harsher cathartics, and combines all the tonic and strength ening properties necessary to perma' nently cure the habit.
 Accept no substitute. Insist on having
 the genuine Prckly Ash Bitters with the
 large figure in red on the front label. Sold Everywhere, Price $l.OO.

The sense of sight grows most precious. though often the best of glasses cannot restore to old eyes even a portion of their youthful power. These facts should impress all with the im- portance of early care for the organs of sight. Do not wait till your eyes become impaired. but have them tested at once, as often an eye specialist can detect and remedy in time what might prove serious trouble if ne- elected.

press agent business is a con game
when you get right down to it, only
the people amt all on yet. The regu-
lar advertiser that knows his game
writes out what he wants to say puts
up his coin an says it. There amt
no jugglin' round. He picks out his
own type, an pays for as much space
as he wants. The guy with the press
agent, of course, don't get that. He
gets somethin' different. As q rule,
he gets left. At the same time the
people with press agents is the peo-
pie that don't care to come up into
the open. Take the society pets, for
instance. Why, there's eight hun
hundred alone, an yet none of the
press agents knows the four hundred.
They're hired, but they amt hired.

RIGHTS OF DRAMATIC CRITICISM.
shall a Theatrical Manager Bar the
Critics.

TCopyright. 1895, by Central News and
Press Exchanged
Paris. Nov. 1.-The dispute between
NJ. Antoine, the theatrical manager
and NJ Francois de Mon is still a
subject of discussion on the bouleyards.
On the subject OF whether a theatrical
manager should prevent critic from
entering his theatre because the criti-
cfsms are unfavorable, M. Jules Huret,
of the Figaro, has gathered the opin-
ions of a number Of well known auth
ors. NJ. Henri Lavedan, the celebrated
dramatist, says he would not give his
pieces to a theatre which did not in
vite the press or which the critics
would boycott. AS to whether thea
tire is a house of commerce, as NJ. An
tome maintains it is, NJ. Lavedan says
some managers say yes" but he as
an author, says No

venience in Giving their pieces to the
aires which do not assure for them the

an intermediary with which, in the
opinion Of the Narguerites, managers
and authors could with advantage dis
pense. Besides, does the public attach
SO much Importance to criticism? they
ask. AS to whether a manager has the
right to prevent a newspaper from
commenting on a piece submitted to
everybody, this, add the brothers, is a
question Of public right. NJ. Ernest
Blum expresses the opinion that no
dramatist would give his plays to a the
alter that was boycotted by the critics.

says. 81 would even add that it is the

Position Of the United States.

Washington, Feb. 8. - Panama cam
not by vote of its people return to
Colombia without the consent of the
United States. This consent cannot be
obtained and consequently Panama
will remain an independent nation with
the United States behind 1T.
No treaty has been negotiated with
Panama providing that the infant re-
public shall not again become a part
of the territory of Colombia, but the
United States has pledged itself, by
treaty. to maintain order on the 18TH
mus.
1t can be stated on the highest au-
thority If a proposition to have Pam
anna return to Colombia should be adj
vanced the United States government
promptly would take steps to put a
stop to the agitation, as it would sure
ly eliminate in disturbances which
would compel the American govern
ment to use force, if necessary, to re-
store order.
Such action on the part of the Uni
ted States would, of course, prolong
the life of the Panama republic and
increase it's stability.
Present Relations Friendly.
There is no breach, however, at the
present time In the diplomatic relat-
ions between the two countries. Each
maintains legation at the capital of
the other. William w. Russell is the
American minister at Bogota and Sen
or Don Eduardo Perez Triana, secre
tary of the legation, is now charge a.
affairs here and will look after the in
terests of Colombia until a new mini
ster has been appointed.
Colombia has announced its intention
of sending a new minister here. and
while he has not yet been chosen he
is expected to arrive soon.
After Panama declared it's independ-
ence the feeling against Author M.
Baupre of Illinois, American minister
to Colombia, was so strong he was
given an indefinite leave of absence
and finally transferred to Argentina.
William w. Russell was then sent to
Bogota. When the American minister
left Bogota the Colombian minister
was Withdrawn from Washington.
Since then amicable relations have
been established.
