canoe Attaches to Move.
Coronado, Cal, Oct. 29.-The cruiser
Cincinnati, with Commander S. S. Rob-
inson, will leave for Chinese waters i'm
mediately after the naval maneuvers at
San Pedro. 1t is also understood that the
Cincinnati will be accompanied by the
cruiser Raleigh. under command OF
Lieut. Commander Louis c. Richardson,
but this boat has not yet received Off
cial orders from Washington.
Admiral Chauncey Thomas stated to-
day that there was absolutely no signifi-
cence attached to this movement. The
Cincinnati is ordered to China only as
a result of tentative orders issued several
months ago. 1t has, however, been ru-
mored among the members of the fleet
that Immediately after the battle ships
leave San Pedro they will be ordered to
the far shore of the Pacific.
In fact. Admiral Thomas has already
been ordered by the Navy Department TO
prepare for a speedy departure for the
Hawaiian Islands. Admiral Thomas
says in regard to these orders that he
does not anticipate an extension of the
cruise to China or the far East.

Buys New York World.

1t was in 1888 that Jay Gould offered
to sell him the New York World. The
offer was finally accepted. and Mr.. Pulit-
ger got the paper for S34S, 900. The paper
was in a bad way, but its new owner
took hold with a vigorous hand and an
inventive brain. Three years ago Mr..
Pulitzer celebrated it's twenty-fifth ami
versary.
In 1903 he sought to realize one of the
dreams of his life, and gave S1,00.-
900 to Columbia University, to establish
a school of journalism. He offered an
other million when the school should
have been in operation for three years.
But the plan was so severely criticised
that Mr.. Pulitzer agreed to the post
ponement OF its execution, leaving the
81 100000 for its establishment after his
death.
Criticisms in his paper regarding the
Panama Canal purchase brought forth
a fiery attack on Mr.. Pulitzer from Theo-
dore Roosevelt. three years ago. The
attack was followed by the governmental s
unprecedented libel suits against the
World and the Indianapolis News. The
court dismissed the News suit and the
other was dropped.

There is more Catarrh in this
section Of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease and prescribed local
remedies and By constantly failing
to cure with local treatment pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven caterrh to be a consti-
tutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufacture
ed by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken

EvERYDODYS FRIEND

The old family doctor, of whom so few
are now seen in this age of specialists.
was the valued friend and adviser of his
patients. They depended on him to keep
them in health, and cheer them with his
counsel. He taught them the wisdom OF
preventing Illness by watching closely
after the health of the family.
Mrs. S. II. Dubois writes from her
home at Hampstead, l.. l.: "Vinol is an
old friend OF our family. We have used
it for years whenever any of us need a
tonic on account of being in a rundown
state of health, and it always gives per
feet satisfaction We have used nine
bottles this winter"
There are thousands of families who
could and do say the same thing Vinol
our, delicious cod liver and iron prepare
ton without oil, has proved its value by
bringing back rugged health and strength
to vast numbers of weak, rundown men
women and children That is why We

have your money back at once. Red

Idle Talk About Vermont.

Six college boys made pedestrian
tour through New England during the
summer vacation and in a newspaper
story dealing with their wanderings
and some incidents of the tour, appears
the following:
"0ne thing that impressed the trav-
elers was the number Of abandoned
farms in Vermont, and they even found
"a deserted village in that state Their
map showed village called Plymouth,
but when they reached there looking
for food and shelter, they found but
one house occupied and that by man
with the habits of hermit, who warned
them away with a shotgun. We learned
that a great lumber syndicate has been
buying land with the idea of starting
a forest preserve, said the spokesman
of the party, and we passed through
more than one hamlet that seemed soon
to be elassed with Goldsmiths Sweet
Auburn"
This is one of the ways in which
transformation is spread to the damage
of Vermont, not maliciously, Of course,
but nevertheless, effectively. These
lads only know about Vermont what
little they saw or heard while they
hurried through the state on their walk
ing trip. They came about as near to
understanding the real situation here
as an EsquimaN would Of New York
City after the first weeks stay in Goth
am. Yet with the eredulity of youth
and the glibness of immature years
when pretty much all men are free to
talk Of things they do not understand,
they believe any chance gossip they may
have heard en- route, make happen
stance deductions of their own TO ex-
plain things they saw along the way,
and then peddle it out to the press as
facts verified beyond dispute.
Now these boys could not have seen
many abandoned farms in Vermont be-
eaIse there practically are none 1t
