List Of Presentation of Other States

hind, but Compares FavorabIy With
Others.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April "a
Attention has been attracted to tn.
coming presentation of the magnifi
cent silver service to be given by
The state Of Mississippi to the gigantic
battleship bearing that name than
has attended similar ceremonies in
years, in which the older ships of the
navy have figured. This unusual no
tice is generally regarded as being
due to the extraordinary interest
which the citizens of the state have
given to the event, and to the pro
posed trip of the Mississippi up the
Father of Waters" to Natchez.
On account of inability to have the
service completed earlier in the
spring the presentation ceremonies
have been postponed from time to
time. The present arrangement is
to have the ceremony occur on June l.

THE
HORIZON

NEW YORK, April 26.-Bankers de-
clare that the intelligence of the aver
age American investor has incre 'se'l
wonderfully during the last five years.
They do urge, however, that he should
broaden his horizon, that he should not
decide that because bond may not be
an American one it is therefore unsafe.
and that he should seek to emulate the
older nations of Europe, who do not
hesitate to send capital under proper
safeguards and under DIN oinaoinoin
safeguards and trustworthy bank-oin
safeguards and on trustworthy bank
ing advice, to the four quarters of the
globe. Provincialism in this respect
is slowly disappearing, however, now
that our leading banking houses are
taking up Mexican, South American
and foreign government bonds. A sage
once remarked that it does not matter
so much what stage has been reached
so long as the movement is in the right
direction; on this philosophy the
American investors position is full of
hope.

Rheumatism

Fully nine out of every ten cases of
rheumatism are simply rheumatism of
| the muscles, due to cold or damp or
chronic rheumatism, neither of which
require any internal treatment. All
that is needed to afford relief is the
free application of Chamb erlair.'s Lin
iment and massaging the affected part
at each application. There is nothing
or unpleasant about this
Imminent. The relief from pain which
1t affords is alone worth many times
It's cost. Price 25 cents, large size 50 |

planned 10 take a short rest before the
Senate finishes with the measure.
1t Is probable that Mr. Aldrich VIII
leave Washington within a day or two.

10 be on deck early and late. He has
constantly had 20 meet a storm OF crit
icism and answer onhand many pertinent

OF annOyanees and personal attack has
been a marvel 10 many Of HIS colleagues,
some OF whom have openly on the floor
OF the Senate testified TO their admiration
Of his forbearance and physical and men

sions OF the Senate, which now extend
for nine continuous hours every week
day, and be has spent a good part OF
his evenings IN study and preparation
for what is 20 come.
