Science Has Revealed:What Has So Long Been Held Secret by Nature. Madame Tully, the noted complex ion specialist, made her appearance in this city a few days ago after a very successful tour of the large cities. Since her coming she has been be sieged by ladies who needed ber ser vices, aqd are now; receiving a scien tific and natural aid to beauty. As soon as Madame Tully arrived and established herself at the Armstrong Hotel her rooms were thronged with women, many of whom were from the select circles here, and they sought ad vice as to what to do. The majority were not aged, but wrinkles, depres sions and other marks that bespoke the flight of time were borne as re minders of worries, troubles, sickness and other vicissitudes which the mod- r r v . jL ern women experience. Their pres ence there was evidence they did not consider it a Providential stroke when deprived of their beauty, and they were not violating the rules of pro priety or religion in attempting to re store their good looks if it could be done by any natural means. A call at Madame Tully's elegant quarters brought a young looking, medium sized woman to the door and in answer to the query for the madame she replied, “I am she.” The lady was the picture of health, with ruddy cheeks, giowing skin, sparkling eyes and a sprightly step and movement betokening yonth. The visitor had heard she was between 45 and 50 years of age. and later the report was verified by Madame Tully, who ad mitted she was 47 years old. While explaining her treatment she displayed photographs of women who have had experiences with it, and the differences between the two pictures before and after, were amazing. Madame Tully will only remain here a couple of days longer, therefore ladies who wish to avail themselves cf this rare opportunity must call im mediately. The madame will give treaments all day today demonstrating her method. Parlors 103 Armstrong Hotel. When in need of coal callup H, G. Smith ’Phone Nos, 182 and 183, • —»n - . . FRAUDULENT VALUATIONS. New President of the Board of Appraisers Will Stop It. The appointment of Charles H. Ham of Chicago as president of the board of United States general appraisers means that Secretary Gage has determined to put an end to the notorious undervalua tion of imported goods as practiced at the several ports of entry, but especially at New York. The abuses in the cus toms service have been well known for years, but they have been allowed to continue in spite of the protests of hon est American importers. The evasion of duties has been accQm-. plished in various ways. In the old days foreign merchants bribed United States consuls in obscure stations to certify in- FR cn* RLE? H. HAM. voices in which the goods were under valued, the imports being received by the New York agents of the firm. The substitution of specific for ad valorem duties only changed the methods of the swindlers. Collusion between the ship ping firm and the scant salaried govern ment agents at our ports has undoubted ly been practiced, and the complicated system of appraising has made detection difficult. The result has been to put nine tenths of the importing business in the hands of foreign firms. Not oply has the government been cheated out of its just revenues, but American firms with no foreign agents and no bribed officials have not been able to compete with their foreign rivals and have been compelled to give up importing goods. Mr. Ham is admirably equipped to stop this national scandal. From 1871 until 1886 he was appraiser of the port of Chicago, and during that time he thoroughly investigated the customs abuses. In 1889 he published a series of articles on “Fraudulent Valuations,” which were recognized as of national importance. The immediate result was a change in the inefficient system of merchant appraisers and the establish ment of the general board at the head of which Mr. Ham has now been placed. Besides being a customs expert Mr. Ham is an authority on manual training. The three-year old boy of J. A John son, of Lynn Center, 111., is subject to attacks of croup. Mr. Johnson says he is satisfied that the .timely use of Cham berlain’s Cough Remedy, during a se vere attack, saved his little boy’s life. He is in the drug business, a member of the firm of Johnson Bros, of that place; and they handle a great many patent medicines for throat and lung diseases. He had all these to chose from, and skilled physicians ready to respond to his call, but selected this remedy for use in his own family at a time when his child’s life was in danger, because he knew it to be superior to any other, and famous the country over for its cures of croup. Mr. Johnson says this is the best selling cough medicine they handle and that it gives splendid satisfaction in all cases. Sold by Curry-A rrington Co., Rome, Ga. TO THE .CORRECT DRESSER, M. Stark.
