The Most Common Cause of Suffe ring.
 Rheumatism causes more pain and suffering than any other disease, for the reason that it is the most common of all ills, and it is certainly gratify- ing to sufferers to know that Cham. berlain's Pain Balm will afford relief, and make rest and sleep possible. In many cases the relief from pain, which is at first temporary, has become per manent, while in old people subject to chronic rheumatism, often brought on by dampness or changes in the weather, a permanent cure cannot be expected; the relief from pain which this liniment affords Is alone worth many times it's cost. 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale at the El Centro drug store.

We have heard a great deal of late about the sights to be seen in va, rious cities from Hampton Roads around to San Francisco and Seattle, but the sight that Skagway saw yesterday after noon distauced any other single thing that has been made to look at since God created the earth. Seeing Naples was never in it. There are lot of people to prove this to be nothing more than a plain, conversational, conservative statement. The crowd was not nearly as large as it might have been, because there was llttIe suspicion of the import ance of what was about to take place, especially among strangers.
 The game was called at little before 8, and from that time, down the score board, before the eyes of the onloOkers, moved rapid.aud unbroken procession of zsros, while in the grand stand and bleschers 8 fever sprang up that grew into a contagion, until the last half of the ninth haviag been played and there WAS no, written ou the board aught but circles. Then, when mau walked up and wrote ''l' this fever ragged and made maniacs of what had beep con- gregation Of most orderly and respecta- bIe citizens.
 The game was classic. Both teams worked like machines and almost with out error. Only one man had been allowed 10 reach so much as second on a hit before the climax, Only one man walked One man took base on being struck oy the ball. Before the game was half through the spectators were aware that they were looking at real ball game. The White Pass had played its ninth inning in this fashion with the result balanced upon hair as be- tween them. Then Hayes of the signal corps made hit that gave him first. He stole second. Chauncey Boyer m de a hit that started Hayes to third, Alex Blauchard-oue Of the most certain of the White Pass team, listening to the wild cries of the excited populace- iumbled long enough to make Hayes

GREATER THAN RICHES

We hear a great deal about corruption and fraud; graft and bribery are rampant everywhere, yet there never was a time when right spoke so loudly, or when character spoke with such com manding authority as today. In a great public meeting. after the audience had been held spell bound by the eloquence of bril- liant orators. we have seen a plain. blunt man step on the platform and with brief, pointed sentences, carry more weight than all the eloquence that pre- ceded him. Everybody knew that the man had no gift of elo- quence, but they also knew that what he said represented force and power, and that there was a ma at the back of the words. Emerson said that those who listened to Lord Chatham felt there was something finer in the man than anything he said. Character must stand behind and back up everything the sermon, the poem, the picture, the play. None of them are worth a straw without it." says Holland. This is the philosophy to teach the child of today, that There is nothing in the world great but man. there is nothing truly great in man but char acter." Manhood overtops all titles; character is above all rich es. and greater than career. This motto should be framed and hung in every room and in every school in the land. Mothers should engrave it on the hearts of their children.
