made public today. II reads in part as
follows:
Sir-The cOurt-martial by which you
were recently tried has convicted you
OF remissness in the discharge OF your
Official duty in that YOU failed to sign
the smooth steam log of the L. 8. s.

regulations for the government of the

1.-THE naval regulations are the stand
ms orders Of the President as its COM
mander-in-ehief and as such demand the
prompt and respectful obedience Of
every officer solicitous 70 fulhIl cOnsci-
entiously the obligations 10 his oath
of Office. Laxity i'm their observance Is
ineXCusdble on the part of any one
attached to the service. but the gravity
OF this fault is far greater in the case
Of an officer in command of warShlp.
Such conduct renders him responsible
for the like renissuess on the part of
subordirates misled by his example,
and exhibits 10 the officers and men

observance by every one on board.

"Ir your case sir. there was the
greater reason why you should have

a bad example on the part Of one

SO much has been written by the
standard medical authorities, of all the
several schools OF practice, in praise
OF the native, or American, medicinal
plants which enter into the compost
ton OF Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
coyeTy, that IN attempting to quote
from the various works on MQter5o
Medaca one hardly knows where to
commence, since they are SO volumin-
GUS that only the briefest and most i'm
perfect reference can be presented in a
short article like this.
Bref1y then let us say that the
"Golden Medical Discovery" was
named from the sturdy little plant
Golden Seal, the root of which enters
largely into Its composition. Besides
this most valuable ingredient, it con-
tains glyceric extracts of Stone root,
Queen S root, Black Cherrybark, Blood
root and Mandrake root.
Finley Ellingwood, NJ. D., an emin-
ent practitioner of Chicago and Profess
sor OF MateTsd MedicG in the Bennett
Medical College of that city, in his
recently published work on Therapeu-
tics, says of Golden Seal root: ut is
the most natural of stimulants to the
normal functions Of digestion. Its in
fiuence upon the mucous surfaces rem
ders it most important in catarrhal
gastritis inflammation of stomach) and
gastric (stomach) liberation"
Many other authorities as we'll as DIR.
Ellingwood extol the Hydrastis Golden
SeaD, as remedy for catarrhal dis
eases of the nasal passages, stomach,
bronchia, gall ducts, kidneys, intestines
and bladder. Among these, we may
mention Prof. John King, NJ. D., author
of the American Dispensatory; Prof.
J. NJ. Scudder, NJ. D., in his e Specific
Medication; DR.. Hale of the Hahne-
mann Med. College of Chicago; Grover
Coe, NJ. D., OF New York, in his vOr-
ganic Medicines" DR.. Barthoow of JEFF
ferson Med. College and scores of other
leading medical writer's and teachers.
All the foregoing eminent authorities
extoi the curative virtues of Golden
Seal III cases of stomach, liver and in
festival weakness, torpor and liberation
OF bowels. DR.. EllingWood recommends
it 1c0st highly, Yin those cases of atomic
dyspepsia when the entire apparatus,
including the liver, is stagnant and
imperative" He also extoIs it most
highly in the many weaknesses and de-
engagements peculiar to women and
says, sit is most important remedy in
many disorders of the.womb." Golden
Seal root (Hydrastis), is an important
ingredient of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription for weak, nervous, 0rundown"
women.
But to return to the "Golden Medical
Discovery" it may be said that its cur
ative properties are not wholly depend
ent upon Golden Seal, valuable as it is,
as other equally potant ingredients add
greatly TO its value and in fact are not
less important than the Hydrastis, or
Golden Seal. =.
In all bronchial, throat, lung and
kindred ailments, Stone root, Black
Cherrybark, Queens root and Blood
root, each plays as important part
in effecting the phenomenal cures of
"Golden Medical Discovery" as does
Golden Seal. All these ingredients
have the endorsement of prominent
practitioners of all schools of medicine
for the cure of diseases of the bronchia,
throat and lungs,

plants to very vigorous growth by
means of commercial fertilizers and

young plants as soon as they show the
presence of the pests and do every
thing possible to stimulate the plants

CarbOlic Acid Emulsion.
Hard soap, one pound, or soft soap,
one quart; water (boiling), one gallon;
crude carbolic acid, one pint.
The soap is to be dissolved in the
water, and while it is still boiling hot

Presbyterian Union Accomplished.
On May "a, the one hundredth ami
versary OF the organization of the
Presbyterian church in this country
the final vote was taken in favor Of
the organic union OF the Presbyterian
Church of North America with the Cum
berland Presbyterian church. which
two bodies had been separate for nine
ty-six years. Only two votes in the
Presbyterian assembly at Des Moines
were cast against it, and the announce
ment of the vote was greeted with
tremendous cheers. A majority Of the
delegates to the Cumberland confer
ence at Decatur, ILL.,, went in a body to
Des Moines after adjourning sine die
and declaring their offices vacant
Nevertheless a minority of 10S dele
gates, calling themselves loyalists, met
in another ball and elected officers and
arranged for another meeting, deciding
that they were still the Cumberland
Presbyterian church and that they had
10000 followers. Judge Johns of the
circuit court had refused their petition
for an injunction against the act of
union, but they propose to appeal to
higher court.

able features, says South Dakota
sheepman who describes the two ways
of tying wool in Orange Judd Farmer.
In boxing the fleece can be done up
in a more compact form with the use
of less Irvine and is less liable to come
to pieces in handling. Buyers, how
ever, do not make any serious objec-
ton to either form when properly done.
First the shearer should endeavor to
keep the fleece in as nearly compact
form as possible. After removing all
tag locks lay the fleece flesh side down
and after closing in the edges fold over
toward the center from all sides, fold
ing over enough to make a bundle
about a foot square; then turn the
fleece over on about four feet of Irvine,
passing it around the second time the
opposite way, and tie firmly The same
process is gone through in preparing it
for the box.
