CURE BY THE
 CUTICURA REMEDIES

"About four years ago was afflicted with black splotches all over my face and few covering my body, which produced severe itching irritation, and which caused me great deal of annoy ance and suffering, to such an extent that was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of my town. After thor ough examination of the dreaded com- plaint they announced it to be skin eczema in its worst form. They treated me for the same for the length of one year, but the treatment did me no good.
 "Finally l became Respondent and decided to discontinue their services. Shortly afterwards, my husband in read ing a copy of weekly New York paper saw an advertisement of the Cuti- cura Remedies. He purchased the en- tire outfit, and after using the contents of the first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent in connection with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, the breaking out entirely stopped. l continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was entirely gone and the affected parts were left as clear as ever. 1 have not felt symp- tom of the eczema since, which was three years ago.
 "The Cuticura Remedies not only cured me of that dreadful disease, eczema, but other complicated troubles as well; and I have been the means of others being cured of the same disease by the Cuticura Remedies, and I don't hesitate in saying that the Resolvent is the best blood medicine that the world has ever known" Lizzie E.

Big Smelter for
Ely.

News for Ely, the big copper
camp of White Pine county, is that
an expert smelling engineer is
there for the purpose of arranging
the details of construction of the
Nevada Consolidated company's
big smelling works. The plant it
is said, is to consist of four separ-
ate and distinct units or sections,
each capable Of treating 1000 tons
of ore every t~wenty-four hours or
a total of 1000 tons per day.
The engineer does not claim,
however, hat it will be possible
to maintain the maximum tonnage
mentioned with the four-unit plant
as it has been his experience in
smelling, that an average of only
one-half of the number of furnaces
installed can be kept in regular
commission. On that basis, the
new plant will be able to handle
approximately 1000 tons Of ore
every day in the year.
To operate a plant of 1000 tons
regularly will require, according to
the engineer, about 1000 men at
mines aud smelter and this, it is
figured, will mean the support of
a population at least 10000 per-
sons in itself. But the operations
of the other mines and smelter of
the camp are counted upon, dur
ing the next couple of years, to
more than equal what the Nevada
Consolidated will do and the argu-
ment is advanced that the district
should. inside of two years, boast
of population of more than 20,-
900.

The continued hot weather has re-
suited IN an extension of the vacation
period of such artists as are fortunate
enough TO be out of town. To exchange
the comforts of the summer studio as
enjoyed by Carl Gutherz at Rockville,
r, n. Brooke. at WarrentOn. Va, LucIan

water at Gloucester, Mass, Tor the
sitting temperature Of the city is a move
that few are willing 10 make, and so the
artists have very wisely remained away
from Washington, and a general home
coming may not be expected before the
LIST or October. This will give but little
time for preparation for the frst exhibit
ton of the season-that of the Washing
ton Water Color Club. which, according
70 the precedent OF former years. will
hold its annual exhibition in November.
1t is probable, however, that most of
the members Of this society have already
prepared such works as they intend 10
submit 20 the jury of selection, and that
with the framing OF the work already
completed there will be In readiness
enough for a creditable exhibition.

Autumn IS decidedly becoming the
most brilliant season Of the year. as far
al New York society IS concerned, a
fact which, apparently. dawned upon
distinguished foreigners fond Of Amer

during the winter or spring. They are
focking over here on every incoming
steamer, and among the recent arrivals
has been Lady AlgernOn GOTdOn-Len-

Mrs. Potter Writes a Book.

Something Of 2 sensation has been
created in society here by the announce
ment that the former wife OF James
Brown Potter has completed the writing
Of a volume Of "reminiscences which she
has sold 10 one OF the leading publishers
in London at a very high price, aud
which Is 70 appear toward the end of
October simultaneously in London and
in New York. The book is said TO deal
very freely with Mrs. Potter's girlhoOd
at New Orleans, her married life in
New York, the causes of her estrange-
ment from her husband and his family
the reasons which prompted her to adopt
the stage as a profession, and the ex-
reTiences Of her theatrical career. It's
appearance is calculated 10 give rise TO
considerable annoyance 10 the Potter
family, especially as it will undoubtedly
revive the notoriety which attended It's
authoress' break with her ex-husband
and his relatives years ago.
But little has been heard of Mrs. Pot
ter lately in a theatrical sense. II
seems that she has been busy through
out the greater part of the summer
writing this book, and the amount
which she has already received from
the publishers on the strength Of it
Will go far toward relieving her of the
financial embarrassment which landed
her last year in the English bankruptcy
