TITHES IN MORMOSDOIL
■*TSNTH6*' WHICH ARE SUPPOSED
TO BE GIVEN TO THE CHURCH.
Each Mormon Accesses Hie Own Tax
and Pays It in Kind - Tho Total
$700,000. of Which Half Reaches
the General Fund of the Church—
The Great Tithing Yard Where Con
tributions are Stored and Sold.
From the Fete York Sun.
The law of the Mormons is that one
tenth of all that is produced shall be given
as tithes to the church, and the interpreta
tion of this law is liberal, so far as the
character of the tithes is concerned, what
ever may be the loos ness (fits enforce
ment as to the quantity. Every Mormon
farmer or producer of any sort pays his
dues to the church in kind. The church
takes the produce thus received, makes the
best sale or use it can of it, ai.d supports it
self from the outcome. It is claimed that
there is no other tax or charge upon Mor
mons for church purposes than those tithes.
It is also claimed that there is no means of
enforcing these tithes, and that their pay
ment is a voluntary act upon the part of
the members of the church, and also that
tithes are received and credited practically
at the valuation that the donor puts upon
them himself. So far ns the general prin
ciples of the system are concerned, it is
perhaps true that tithes are voluntary, but
the actual compulsion under which they are
exacted is pro - ably not less efficacious be
cause applied by some petty local authority
and not by the beads of the church. That
the amount of the tithes is far below a
literal tenth of all produce must be true,
for otherwise the revenues of tho church
would be too enormous to lie handled ami
the whole system would fall to pieces of its
own weight. It is alleged that mauy Mor
mons do not contribute at all, and that the
great majority g.ve much less thau a tenth
of their products.
All Morinondom is divided into many
parts, called stakes, for tithing purposes,
and at the hea 1 of each stake is a stake
bishop. The stakes are divided into wards,
and there is a ward bishop in charge of each
ward. Over all are the presiding bishop
and his two counselors. Presiding bishop
Pro ton is a Virginian, of the famous Pres
tons of the south, but has been a Mormon
for thirty-two of his 59 years. Bishop John
R. Winder, the other counselor, joined the
church in England forty years ago, and is
a successful business man outside of his
work in the church. He is practically the
head of the tithing department.
When Balt Lake City was laid out, a
square in the heart of the town was set
apart for a tithing yard. It is still used for
that purpose, and is covered with store
houses of all sorts and shapes, that have been
added to it from time to time, as tha in
crease in the church demanded. A big wall
of cobble stones laid in cerne it surrounds
the uncouth collection of buildin ,s. The
whole block, with all the property in it,
was confiscated with other church property
by the government, but was immediately
leased to the church, ind business wont on
without a day's interruption. The bishops
allege that tne tithes have increased since
the government “persecution” began.
Tne tithes ore paid to the ward bishops.
These are men selected for other than re
ligious attainments. They are business
agents of the church and are under no ob
ligation to be more saintly than anybody
else. Asa rule, they are not notable for
excessive piety. The ward bishop takes
everything t hat is brought to him and gives
the donor credit nt tho market rate or at an
agreed rate for produce t at has no fixed
valuation. He stacks the hay up in his
yard, puts the pota’.o sand other vegeta
bles into his cellar, and gets the gram into
bins and the live stock into stalls. He ren
ders an recount of it all to the state bishop,
who in turn reports to tho presiding bishop.
One-tenth of the tithes is kept by the ward
bishop for his trouble, the re t is disposed of
as the presiding bishops may direct. All
that cau be so got rid of b sold m the local
market, and the cash sent to the church.
That for whiati there is local market is sent
to the tithing yard in Balt Lake City. Often
it has to be carried long distances to a rail
road and the cost of this, in connect! n with
ordinary freight charges, often eats up ha 1
the value of the tithe . Besides this there
is often a heavy depreciation in the
themselves. Last fall the church took in
potatoes at 20 and 30 cents a bushel, which
were sold in the spring for 10 cents and wero
hard to get rid of at that.
Arecoid of the tithes of a Mormon, as
made by the ward bishop, reads this way:
John Smith—Fruit. $3; fuel, grain, sl4 77;
hay, $6 50; labor, $7 45; meat, $1 81: vegeta
bles. $1 87. Total, $37 43.
This record is seat by the ward bishop to
the stake bishop, and by him to the head
officers of the church, where all for each
year are bound together into one big vol
ume. Of the nine ca-es entered upon a page
selected at random in the book, the amounts
credited to each contributor varied from
$1 39 to sl9 93, except one, who was down
for $93 55. The average for the nine was
sl9 25, which represented the annual cost of
the church.
The disposition made of the 90 per cent
of the titties that go beyond the ward
bishops to whom they are handed in, has
been a subject of auxiety to the musses of
the Mormon church for some time. The
reports made by the head officers of the
church deal only with totals; there are no
details of the expenditures. This system is
defended by the bishops on curious grounds.
The difference between the gross ami the
net receipts f. om tithes is so great, they
say, that the peop.e would not understand
it if they were tald about
it, and so the best way
to keep them contented is to say nothing
about it The depreciation in the value of
the tithes and the expenses incident to their
collection amount to fully one-half of the
total, it is alleged. Last year the total
value of the tithes was said to have been
$700,000. From this, the bishops allege,
not over $350,000 in cash or its equivalent
came into the general treasury of
the church. Besides the ten per
cent, retained by the ward bishops
and the loss through depreciation
said transportation charges, this
deficiency includes sums spent in maintain
ing the chuich in poor localities. Borne
wards, it is alleged, never turn anything
into the general treasury, all tne* tithes
being expended upon the local church, in
accordance with directions issued by the
presiding bishop upon recommendation of
nis subordinates. In other cases from ono
balf to two-thirds of the tithes ure retained
for local needs.
Of the $350,000 that finally ge s to the
church, SIOO,OOO, the bisho: s say, goes for
charity. Expenditures on this account are
alleged to general, and with'ut any
reference to wb -ther sufferers are Mormons
or Gentiles. The remaining quarter of a
million is disbursed by the presiding bishop
and his counselors according to their ow n
■will, though presumably for the good of the
church. It is alleged that there are no
regular salaries paid to tho higher officers,
but that each i9 all wed what he needs t >
live on. If an elder of the church
is in need of anew roof for his
house he makes an application
to the bishops, and if thev
please they give him an order on the
tithing department for shinglos and labor.
AVhen an’ elder gets old and decrepit his
wants are provided for in the same way.
There is no regular relief fund or separa c
fund for any other purpose. Everything is iu
the bands of the bishojis, and their decisiou
is always final.
A good deal of money goes for the sup
port of missionary work abroad, thougn
not nearly so much, it is alleged, as would
be expected, considering the extent of the
work. Fresidi g Bishop Preston say* that
it is a matter of pride wdth missionaries to
pay their own expenses as far as posdble.
and that many serve absolutely without
expense to the church, while many otners
deiray personally a great part of the cost of
taeir work.
The stories current about the large sums
of money accumulated by the chief bishops,
presumably directly or indirectly from the
church, are d-niel by the Diahops, who de
clare that there are no rich men in the
Mormon church, and comparatively few
with more thau a competence. They in
stance Brigham Young, who with all his
opportunities, died worth only SBOO,OOO, a
considerable sum, to be sure, but only
000 apiece when it came to be divided up
among his children.
After the tithes, coming from nil parts of
il irniou territory, arrive at th 9 tithing
yard they are stored and held until they
can be di-posed of upon the most advan
tageous terms. The svmstern is simplified
a little by the use of scrip, printed like
ordinary money, in various convenient
denominations. This is j aid out to credi
tors of the church whenever
poss ble, and by them convert
ed into goods "at the stores in
the tithing yard. The not-* are about the
size of hank n >w>s, and are almost as finely
engraved. Different color* are used for
bills receivable at different departments of
the yard. There is a meat market, a hav
market, a butter store, a honey, wine &ud
vinegar store, a potato st re, a granary, a
salt store, aud a score of other s >parate de
partments roughly classified under
general heads. A dozen teams and
thirty men are constantly employed about
the yard Handling the go ids. Th-re is no
attempt to and > a general store business or to
make any s;ieculative gai is. Only what
is contributed in tithes is sol lat the yard,
and tho object is to get rid of that as quick
ly as may lie at as nearly as possiblo the
valuation at which it was taken in.
TITLED AMERICAN CHILDREN.
Little Lords and Ladies of Distin
guished Foreign Lineage.
From the Aeu York World.
When the pictures of “Little Lord Faun
tleroy” first inundated the land a little boy
saw one of them smiling back at him
from a big bare wall, and thinking it was
a little friend of his he smiled back at i t
and told his mamma he had seen “Diuo
Lanza’s picture on a fence.” Poor Dino!
1 doubt not he has shed many a sad if secret
tear from the fact that he could once upon
a time never take Ins walks abroad without
somebody eitner admiring or tauuting him
as "Little Lord Fauntleroy.”
To make matters worse or better, as you
will, Diuo Lanza, too, is a little nobleman,
and like his pictorial prototype, his “dear
est” is a pretty American woman. The
three beautiful sons of this beautiful mother
are the children of the Marquis aid Mar
quise Lanza de Mercato Bianco. Mrne.
Lanza is the only daughter of Dr. William
A. Hammond, ex-surgeon general. Each
little lad has a name quite as long ns him
self. The eldest is 0 orrado Uuglielmo
Federico, the next is Maufredi Antonio
Ferdinaado, while the baby is Antonino
Ernesto.
These imposing names resolve themselvos
into the endearing diminutives of Dino,
Fifo and Nini. Dino, the eldest, is just II;
he i> the purest blonde, with china-blue eyes
amlflixeu hair. Until quite lately he haid
a long and saining lot of golden locks,
which hung nearly to his waist in loose
curls; but Dino thinks he’s nearly a man
now, and what does a man want, to bj sure,
with a mass of yellow curls?
Fifo would be called a blonde in Italy,but
in au Anglo-Saxon country and in our
especially elegant phraseology we would
say he was “just between.” His hair is
light brown, with a peculiar glisten oa it,
and his big eyes are a perfect gray, with
very long and very black lashes. Nini is a
dear, dimpled little fellow, with black eyes
and bright yellow hair, and a complexion
that a debuta te would give all her best
frocks, preseat ami prospective, to have.
Fifo, the second boy, is a poet. He is
never happy unless ho is making rhymes,
and he lives in dreamland. There is nothing
practical about him. He has the real Italian
temperament, excitable and passionate, but
he has also some beautiful qualities—a per
fect unselfishness a id a generous, affection
ate nature. Ho recites beautifully, and,
like many other p ets, but with a good deal
more of reason, he prefers his own poems.
If he reads for you those of some other
poet you may count oa its being soma har
rowing, heart-rending selection like “The
Bridge of Sighs,” “The Raven” or “The
Falling Leaf.” He is a most imaginative '
child and loves rhymes, rhytnm and
romances muc 1 better than he does the
other famous three Rs. Dino, tho eldest, is
a more Aniorican-go-ahead-and-win sort of
a boy. He loves his books aud plays re
markably well ou the piano, He is colder
and more self-c mtained thau his brother
aud never “gets let” under any circum
stances whatever. He has none of Fifo’s
imagination, but he will get along better in
life.
All three of the Lanza boys already bear
a title. The privile :e of having the title of
Marquis descend to all the sons of a family
is granted to but twelve nobles in Italy.
The Lanza family is one of these, but so
long as the father of these pretty boys lives
they will have to bmr the title of “Alarche
sino,” or “Little Marquis,” to distinguish
them from their sire.
The little Lanza lads will inherit great
wealth from ther grandfather, Dr. Ham
mond, who is devoted to them and whose
fortune is estimated In excess of a quarter
of a million. They have the most beautiful
and courtly manners imaginable. In th ir
velvet suits, with their deep collars of lace,
their beautiful aristocratic faces and their
slim little figures baut before you iu a state
ly, old-fashioned courtesy, they make a
memory not easily effaced. Aud how cor
rectly they talk: Their perfect English
would shame many a Vassar girl or Harv
ard graduate. No missing g’s, no ellipses,
no “don’ts,” “can’ts” and “aim’s!” The
two elder boys speak also Italian, French
and German. And withal they are thor
ough boys, full of life, fun and play and
devoted to romps.
LADY MANDEVILLE’S CHILDREN.
Another trio of titled tiny folks are the
children of Viscount Mandeville. Lady
Mandevilie, as everybody knows, is another
belle Americaine. Her mother was a
Louisiana beauty, her father a Cuban of
fabulous wealth, and Lady Mandevilie’s
education was begun and completed in
American schools and convents, "she mar
ried Viscount Mandeville during centennial
year, and they have now three beautiful
children —a boy and little twin daughters.
These throe little folks, too, have already
titles of their own.
The son and heir is Lord Kimbolton. He
will eventually be the Duke of Manchester,
one of tha eldest, pivudest aud richest
titles in all England. He is a splendid,
sturdy lad, about 12 years old, and tb#
pride and delight of the whole family heart.
Any mother might delight iu such a son,
even if he wasn’t destined to be a duke.
Kimbolton was always a manly,
stately li'. tie fellow, and many stories are
told of his queer, solemn little ways. One
day he was riding iu a New Y rk street car
with his grandfather, Mr. Yznaga, when
the conductor, noticing his long, wide
trousers aud his funny little silk hat, and
his entire air of being “English, you know,”
chaffed the little man and called him “a
biarsted Englishman.”
The embryo Duke of Manchester looked
at him solemnly and said: “I’m Lord Kiui
boltou. I’m little now, but when I get to
be a man I'll com® back h re and fight you
for laughing a* me.” Borne one once told
him that it was snobbish to say he was
“Lord” Kimbolton, aud that iu America
there were no palaces nor castles. Never
after that could he be induced to give his
title, even when pressed to do so. He
always called himself “Kim,” and when an}'
one asked him how he spelled Kimbolton,
he invariably replied: “K-i-m Kim-Ktm
bolton.” He's at Eton now, and he looks
very imposing in his Eton cost imp, wi' h it;
jackets ami "bell-t ipper.” He is an ad
mirable rider and excels in all the outdoor
sports, which are numberless iu an Eton
school. He worships his lovely America:)
mother, who, in return, is devoted to her
little children.
The two girls who are twins are Lady
Mary Alva and Lady Alice Eleanor. They

eyes. Ti eir pretty iitt.e shoulders aid
elbows are full of r >guish dimples, and the
spirit of mischief lurks la their eye*. Tuey
are never so happy as when inystifyii g
someone as to 'which is whica,” for so
absolutely are they alike that even Lady
Maudeville's mother instinct is sometimes
at fault.
Until very recently the little girls wore
white entirely, aud"each had a shoulder
knot of ribbon —one of blue, tha other of
pint To make assurance doubly sure, eacn
wore a tiny gold bangle, engraved wi'h her
name. But the pra iky twins would still
contrive “to mix the babies up.” 1 think
the tricky litt'e creatures once lo?t zest for
a time in their m -tifying fun. Their good
( Id nurse, with strict irapartiaiitv, decide l
to administer a do* of castor oil to both
li: tie mails. Blue-ribboned Lady Alice
Eleanor, after the customary opposition,
finally swallowed her dose, and just then
nurse was called away for a moment.
Even castor oil couldn’t subdue the
merry hearts that beat as one in the bosom
of the protty twins, so ribbons and bangles
were int-rchangod, ft' <d when the nui-s®,
armed with bottle and spoon, returned, she
proceeded to administer her share to tho
pretty pink-dcck"d maid. Then the awful
c nsequences of their “mixing things”
broke upon their baby apprehension, and in
vain did the maid of rose ite-ribbon declare
that she had had her share, that she was
not her sister, but herself. What, indeed,
are the laws of the Medea and Persians be
side those adamantine ruie3 of a proper
minded nurse—who “nursed vour father
before you.” So poor Lady Alice Eleanor
got two doses and lucky Mary Alva got
none!
Strangely enough, all of these fix little
lords and ladies, who are half American,
are devout little Catholics. The Marquis
Lanzas family has been of that religion al
ways, and its men ever since the ninth cen
tury have been either soldiers or priests.
Lady Mandoville, too, comes of a Catholic
family, and a strict observance of all the
details of their faith is deeply iinpreised on

DESIGN FOR A COUNTRY HOUSE.
Ey R. W. Shoppe! 1, Architect.
(Copyright by the Author.)
John Wise, the intrepid old aeronaut
and quiet philosopher, used to say, while
sailing through the clouds, that he abhorred
the idea of returning to earth again. Lean
ing over the side of his car he would declare
that everything ou the surface of the globe
was mean, dirty, and insignificant. When
passing over a city he would call attention
to the smoke and dust enveloping it, and
to the little black ant;s rushing and crowd
ing with great but purposeless activity
through its streets. The little black ants
were human beings.
Viewed from the higher attitude of
reason, it does not seem strange that many
intelligent people prefer to live within tho
narrow limits if a city. Life in the coun
try is broader, sweeter, purer, freer. City
houses no longer monopolize all the conven
iences. Witness the modest though attrac
tive design for a country house submitted
herewith.

COMMEMORATION EXERCISES.
In Which tha Pupils of St. Joseph's
Academy Toole a Leading Part.
Washington, Ga., Nov. 16.—As the
pulsing of a great heart sends the life-blood
coursing through the minutest artery and
to the farthest extremity of the living body,
so tho grand centenary celebrated at Balti
more has filled every - Catholic heart in this
great union with enthusiasm and exultant
joy. From “Maine to Georgia,” from
''Gotham to the Golden Gate,” from the
most-iopulous city to the smallest village
whore beats the heart of a single Catholic,
is felt tue same clad rejoicing, the same ex
ultation at the KXhh birthday of the Catholic
hierarchy iu free America. Nowhere has this
enthusiasm, this joyful Catholic spirit been
more manifest, more thoroughly appre
ciated than at Bt. Joseph’s academy, Wash
ington, Ga., where T had the good fortune
to witness the c mimcmoration exercises
presented to a favored audience by the col
legiate classes of this excellent school.
Among those present were Rev. Father
Bazin and Semroes, Mr. and Mrs. Benson of
Washington; Miss Flannery of Savannah,
Ga., and Miss Lily Williams of Atlanta.,
two ex-graduatoa of the academy.
The programmes, written on artistically
decorated scrolls, promised a highly inter
esting evening, which promise was entirely
fulfilled. The opening chorus, “My Coun
try ’Tis of Thee,” was sung by the young
ladies with voice* vibrant with entnusiasm.
Miss Susie deMontmollin then came for
ward and told of the progress of ail hun
dred years. Her address was original, well
written and admirably delivered.
Avery beautiful tableau presented the
most holy virgin, the “Patroness of Amer
ica,” under the title of the Immaculate
Conception.
In tne next tableau “Noted Women” was
pictured in massive gilt frames, “Martha
iVashington,” “Dolly Madison,” “Mother
Seton” and “St. Hose of Lima,” personated
by Misses J. O’Connor, B. Kennedy, D.
Stansell and A. Carey. Miss Evie Reese’s
“Tribute of Praise,” was gracefully de
livered.
Then followed an “Alligory-Columbia.”
This was written eipecially for the occa
sion, and the closo attention of the audience
evinced deep interest and pleasure.
Columbia, Miss N. O’Connor, and
Ameiica, Miss L. Mueller, were seen sur
rounded by Spain, Miss C. Strauss, France,
Miss M. Comorford, and England, Miss G.
Lagerquist, each having the colors and in
signia of tie nation represented. Each
offered congratulations to Columbia on this
happy occasion, and she in turn acknowl
edged the assistance rendered by her sisters
in the early days of discovery and coloniza
tion.
Then Religion, Miss N. Harty, Industry,
Miss M. O’Connor, Science, Miss L. Stanull,
and Literature, Miss L. Carey, appeared
o i tha scene and offered their tribute to
Columbia, Literature referring in graceful
words to the opening of the Catholic uni
versity. The last tableaux were presented
by Religion, to show what she had done for
the aged, the orphan, the ignorant and
savage in the last century, and as
the last picture vanished tho “Te Deum”
sounded in full chorus, and tho curtain fell
on a scene at ones beautiful and real. AU

Rev. Father Bazin congratulated the
young ladies on their admirable entertain

language to the great event commem

country.
During the evening a letter was read
from Rt. Rav. Bishop Becker, regretting
his inability to accept the invitation ten
dered him to be present at the exercises.

A Lock of His Hair.
From the New York Tribune.
Col. Thoms*, one time member of congress,
was in the city this week, and among tales of
the old days told the following about Thaddeus
Stevens:
‘‘Thaddeus Stevens was sitting in his office
one day witn a foiv friends wu>-n in walked an
old lady, wearing a poke bonnet, blue goggles
and carrying a green alpaca umbrella. She
looked around the room as if in search of some
one, ami then said solemnly:
“ ‘Can you tell me where to find Thaddeus
Stevens, the apostle of liberty!’
“ ‘Old Tnad' blushed.
“‘l'm Thaddeus Stevens,’ he replied
shortly.
“ ‘Are you Thade-e-us Stevens, the Apostle of
Liberty;'
6h‘ ‘1 reckonJl am, ma’am.'
“The old lady dropped her parasol, made a
rush toward Stevens to kiss him, and when he
held her oif. she said:
“ ‘i came from Bucks county to see Tbade-e
--us Stevens, the Apostle of Liberty and to taka
home with me a lock of fils hair.'
“The Apostle of Liberty took oil his red wig,
handed it to her, and said:
“ ‘There it is, ma'am. Take as much as you
want..' ”
Tampered with a Lottery Ticket.
A thrifty young man employed in a Detroit
restaurant combines the sale of lottery tickets
wit.i that of pies, doughnuts and sandwiches,
says the Free Pres*. A lew daysago. just after
one of the monthly drawings, a young man who
Ladaq asi acquaintance about the “Point”
drop ed in to “see if his ticket had drawn any
thing." He looked the primed list over, com
pared his ticket with the numbers, and then ex
claimed:
“Well, I've struck it this time, and don’t you
forget it.”
Everybody about the place rushed to see, and
stir., enough, the ticket called for one-twentieth
< f the $5,000 prize, or $25 J.
"li- w long hetore X can get the dust on it!”
aske l the young man.
' Oil, you can get the cash quick enough,”
said the restaurant clerk. "Anybody will cash
it for a little discount.”
“I'll give sis oft for cash,” said the youth in
a happy gu-lucky sort of way.
“I’ll cash it myself for that discount,” said
the restaurateur, and the assignment of the
ticket was ouickly mado. The ticket was for
warded to the lottery headquarters to be cashed
in the regular wav, and last Saturday it came
hack with the following written on the back in
redink: “This ticket h * been raised from No.
11,743, which drew no prize.”

Harper's Bazar.
He Won the $lO.
From the Washington Post.
Evan's and Hoey, who have played “A
Parlor Match” for six years and made a
fortune of it. are happiest when they are
skinning each other out of their respective
shares in the proceeds of their perform
ances. One night last summer they reached
their hotel in New York a little after mid
night and found the elevator closed for the
night Rather than walk up stairs they
went to a club room near by and played
poker until 6 o'clock. When they quit
Ho“v had all Evans’s money, excepting §lO.
As they entered the hotel Hoey asked the
clerk to have him called ;;t 10 o’clock.
“You won’t get up. Wnat's the use of
being called?’’ said Evans.
“Yes; I taill.”
“i’ll bet $lO you won’t.”
The bet was’tikon. At 10 o’clock Hoey
rapped on Evans’ door.
“ H hat do you want?” asked Evans.
“I want my $lO. It's just 10 o'clock and
I’m up and dressed."
"All right," said Evans, “I’ll give it to
you when I get up.”
I want it now, and I’m going to stay here
and keep you awake till I get it, said Hoey.
So Evans passed out the money—the last he
had—and Hoey went away. But Evans
was se fuily arouse 1 tha. he could not go
back to sleep, so he dressed nnd set out to
find his partner to help rim spend the $lO.
Failing to find him elswhere, he finally
went to Hoey’s room and there found him
sound asleep. The gentleman who tells
this story to us says that Evan’s long in
telligent legs twisted themselves into sitnili ■
tude of tne word “Rats” as he walked
away, but we are assured that Evans does
not ever yet know that Hoey sat up until
10 o’ch ck in order to be sure to win that
last $lO from his partner.
To the Manner Born.—Mr. Primus—
“Who is that girl eating so enthusiastically
over yonder at the other table?” Miss
Hecunia—“Why, that is Miss Ulackhill,
granddaughter of the Dakota millionaire.
She looks as if she had always had wbat
she wanted, doesn’t she?” Air. Primus—
“Well, yes; she looks like a girl who was
born with a silver knife in her mouth."—

Catarrh
Is a constitutional and not a local
and therefore it cannot be cured by local ap
plications. It requires a constitutional rem
edy like Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which, working
through the blood, eradicates the impurity
which causes and promotes the disease, and
Catarrh
effects a permanent cure. Thousands of
people testify to the success of Hood’s Sarsa
parilla as a remedy for catarrh when other
preparations had failed. Hood’s Sarsaparilla
also builds up the whole system, and makes
you feel renewed in health and strength.
Catarrh
“ For several years I have been troubled
with that terribly disagreeable disease, ca
tarrh. 1 took Hood's Sarsaparilla with the
very best results. It cured me of that contin
ual dropping in my throat, and stuffed-up feel
ing. It has also helped my mother, who has
taken it for run down state of health and kid
ney trouble.” Mbs. S. D. Heath, Putnam, Ct.

Good Tidings
m
The unprecedented and unlooked
for increase in our business has ren
dered several duplications of lots
necessary, which we have been able
to accomplish from our factory up
to the present time, but the factory
has now run short, and being desir
ous of accommodating all of our
customers, we wrote our New York
buyer that he must purchase some
goods for us, being careful to get
them from a reliable manufacturer.
IVe were very glad to receive a
telegram from him that he was suc
cessful, and we have now received
a letter informing us that he made
a very extensive purchase at a
peremptory auction sale of the entire
stock of one of the best and most
careful manufacturers of medium
priced clothing at very low figures.
The goods will be shipped in a few
days, when we will have a special
sale of them, giving the people of
Savannah and vicinity advantages
of bargains never before heard of.
