The readers of this paper will be
pleased to tearn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires con.
stitutioual treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing it's work. The proprietors have
80 much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it falls to cure. Send
for list of testimonials.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and pre-
scibed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven Catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires con-
stutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure manufactured by F. }. Cheney
& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only Con-
stitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally. 1t acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dol
lars for any case it fails to cure. Send
for circulars and testimonials.

Convicts put on Road Work.

The experiment undertaken April 8
by the Board of Directors of the Mary.
land House of Correction to put con-
vcts at road building in Howard and
adjoining counties is stated to have
proved very successful. About Is men
were placed on the piece of road in
Howard county from Waterloo, on the
Baltimore and Washington Boulevard,
to Jessups Station, distance of about
mile. The men were worked under
the direction of Roads Engineer Sykes,
of Howard county, and a guard from
the institution. The preparing of this
road for dressing of stones and gravel
has just been completed. and Mr.. Sykes
expresses himself gratifed with the
work done. 1t is thought that addition
al construction will be carried on in
this way.
The expense to Howard county in the
experimental effort has been nominal,
it is said, there being no loss to the in
stitution, since the men employed are
30 and 60 day men and would earn moth
ing for the House of Correction if plac-
ed upon contract labor. as they are
compelled to work 80 days before re-
ceiving compensation. Heretofore
many of the convicts have been idle.
others being employed on the farm.
The prisoners themselves are said to
be satisfied with the arrangement, hav-
ing been so anxious to get out on the
road that when call was issued about
60 applicants came in.
Mr.. Sykes states that he expects to
ask for about &C or so of the men to
work on~a piece of road in the Sixth
district of Howard county, some five
miles of which are to be improved. 1t
was also stated at the institution that
number of men will be furnished to
Anne Arundel county for use on the
roads in that county.

Government research and compila-
ton of statistics, showing the expendi-
lures of Americans for luxuries, tends
to explain in part the charge often made
that the American people are the most
extravagent livers on earth. These
statistics state that there is spent in
the United States for Injuries and in
dulgencies the following: For soft
drinks and candy, $45o,OOO: for jewe-
lery; for automobiles, 100000, 900; for
jewelry, $500, 600. 900; for liquor and
tobacco, $4,000, 200, 900. and on i'm
morality. $4,000. 100000. a total of
seven billion, nine hundred and fifty
million dollars-much of which could
be dispensed with, and the health and
happiness of the people improved and
increased. The figures are stagger-
ing, II this vast sum was distributed
among the two millions of sick and
needy of the country all the dependents
would be provided with neeessaries and
many of the comforts of life. And the
spenders would have better bank &C.
counts, be better citizens and less liable
in the later years of becoming de-
pendants on the bounty of others in
mates of charitable institutions.

Thinks Lee Was Promised the Cover
nOrship And Should Have it.

The following letter appeared in
the Baltimore Sun" on Monday last:
| am glad to see the ex-Secretary of
State interesting himself in the nominee
for Governor In putting his claim be-
fore the people for Baltimore man for
Governor he stated that Baltimore city
has only had two Governors since 1867,
but failed to mention the fact that Mr..
John E. Hurst, a Baltimore merchant,
was nominated and defeated by ex-
Governor Lowndes, because the masses
of the people wanted tom" Hayes;
that the late Governor Crothers was
nominated when the counties were will
ing to give Baltimore city the Hon.
Henry Williams, a lawyer and a steam
boat company president; also that Bal
timore city nominated Senator German
when the counties wanted Lee.
| understand that Mr.. Williams is a
lawyer. Does he appreciate the fact
that the Attorney Generals office has
been filled continuously. with the ex-
ception of two years during Governor
Lowndes' administration, since 1888,
and his friend, Mr.. Richie, is good as
nominated? When Senator Smith and
Governor Warfeld contested for Gov
ernor, the Hon. Edwin Warfield did the
graceful act to nominate Senator Smith
in the convention, and was promised
that he would be the next Governor
The people stood by that promise
When Senator German was nominated
by one majority by the Baltimore city
delegation, Blair Lee addressed the con-
vention, and invited all of his friends
to join him in supporting Mr.. German.
Everyone in that convention predicted
that he would be the next Governor.
Mr.. Williams says, LET the masses
get together and name man for Gov.
ernor." | say so, too, and carry ou
that promise by nominating Blair Lee
