Court Room Scene where Judge Chambers maintained tho Supremacy of the United States in Samoa.
In a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., Chief Justice Chambers says the following of Peruna :
“I have tried one bottle of Peruna, and / can truth-
fully say it is one of the best tonics I ever used, and
J take pleasure in recommending it to alt sufferers who
are in need of a good medicine. I can recommend it as
one of the very best remedies for catarrh.

A tonic la a medicine that gives tone I “As a native born Cuban, serving
to sumo part of tho system. There aro
different kinds of tunica, but tho tonic
mostnoodod in this country, where ca
tarrh is so prevalent, is a tonic that
operates on tho mucous membranes.
Peruna is a tonic to tho mucous mom*
branes of tho whole body. It gives tone
to tho capillary circulation which con
stitutes theso delicate membranes.
Hon. J. E. Macias, rocont postmastor
at Porto Rico, in a lotter from 1117 K

postmaster in Port* Rico, I contracted
yellow fovor and hnvo been suffering
from tho ill effects of that droadful dis
ease since my return homo. I was ad-
visod by a friend to use Peruna and I
can speak in tho highest terms of your
remarkable medicine. I feel like a now
man and shall take pleasuro in recom
mending it to those similarly afflicted.
It is a fine tonic, and is in every way a
wonderful medicine. Peruna has be-
corao of national importance.
It has tho record of tho greatest ca
tarrh remedy of tho age.”
Peruna is a specific in its operation

BAD COMPLEXION.
The akin is the seat of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are kncwti
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfiguring pimples.
Eternal vigilance la tho prloo
of m beautiful oomplexlon
when such remedies are relied on.
Mr. H. T. Shobe, *704 Luca* Avenue, St. Louis.
Mo., say*: “My daughter was afflicted for years
with a disfiguring eruption on her face, which
resisted all treatment. She was taken to two
celebrated health springs, but received no bene
fit. Many medicines were prescribed, but with
out result, until we decided to try S. S. S., and by
the time the first bottle vt as finished the emotion
began to disappear. A dozen bottles cured her
completely and left her skin perfectly smooth.
She « now seventeen years old. and not a sign of
the embarrassing disease has ever returned.’
S. S. S. is a positive, unfailing cure for
the worst forms of skin troubles. It is
the greatest of all blood purifiers, and the
only one guaranteed purely vegetable.

San Francisco, CAL.,Feb’y 24, 1001.
Dear Doctor—It is just two weeks
since I left my Georgia home, and I
think it about time to send my best
friend an evidence of my existence and
remembrance of him.
After parting with my escort at
Chattanooga, I proceeded on my way
to the “far Philippines” with a heart
somewhat saddened by the parting, and
I just began to realize what I was giv
ing up and the long stretch of time
before I should meet such friends again,
and the memory of the many glorious
days we had spent together and the
thousand acts of kindness received at
their hands, with the possibility of
never being able to return them in
part, made the first hundred miles of
my journey a little gloomy.
However, what is to be must be, and
in realization of that fact I soon began
to brace up and take an interest in the
scenes around me—that is, ns much in
terest as one could take in a never-
changing scene of swamps and woods,
with occasionally a little town or saw
mill to break the monotony.
1 arrived in Memphis on time, and
finding I had an hour or so to spare I
proceeded to look up Charles Barton,
but upon inquiry found that he was
out pn the road. Took iu Memphis a
little, but found it not different from
any other city and nothing of interest
near it except the great Mississippi—
the “Father of Waters,”
l left for Kansas City that night, and
on waking in the morning found that
I had entered into a country covered
with snow, enormous level fields, with
iiere and there a hay-stack around
which shivered a herd of dilapidated,
half frozen cattle, and 1 had this sort
of scenery, with only a typical Kansas
town occasionally to enliven the pros
pect until I passed Denver, and then a
continuance of the same snow-covered
fields as far as the eye could reach, but
minus the hay-stacks and plus a few
insignificant bills called the Rocky
Mountains.
L passed through Topeka, which 1
believe is the home of Mrs. Helen D.
Nation, and she was the sole topic of
conversation on the train. It seems
that she has the bulge on the “joint-
ists,” as they are running contrary to
law, and consequently have no legal
claim for protection.
I stopped in Cheyenne, Wyoming,
for a while, and found it a very de
lightful place; met some nice fellows
and took 111 some of the town, and
found out that those insignificant hills
were really mountains much higher
than “Tucker Mountain” back of the
fish pond at home, and that where we
were standing then, though apparently
on the dead level, was really about
8,000 foot above the sea, and that the
hills which looked so near were proba
bly some hundred miles away; and then
I had the old chestnut repeated to me
about the fellow taking off his clothes
to swim an irrigation ditch about two
feet wide because he had been ’so
terribly deceived as to distance that
morning.
Well, we jogged along around those
little hills and over those little ditohes
called canyons, some thousands of feet
deep, through snow-clad mountains,
around “Cape Horn,” the most beauti
ful as well as the grandest scenery in
America, and I became so enthused
that my ejaculations or grunts of ad
miration and surprise became so pro
nounced that they attracted the notice
of my single fellow-passenger at that
time, a dapper young gentleman who
seemed to know all about the road,
having once owned it, or something of
the sort. He introduced himself,
pointed out everything of interest, and
ascertaining that I was from the un
civilized state of Georgia, where I bad
spent my life “flinging a line of sus
tenance to a lot of hungry shoats,” he
immediately began to patronize me
and invited me to dinner with him
on the dining car. I accepted and he
ordered a very nice dinner, with which
we had some delicious California claret
and then some very fine cigars, and
then he called to the waiter to bring a
bottle of “cliquot,” which he did, and
I thought it was a very good article of
grape cider, praised it very highly and
drank it very quickly, whereupon he
ordered another bottle, which I demol
ished ns quickly, and liking it so well
I insisted on ordering it myself, but
the waiter said he only carried two
bottles of champagne on the car and
we had drank both of them. Well,
when he said “champagne” my hair
began to rise, and when he presented
my friend with a bill of $12 for the
dinner, I “swooned away” and recov
ered not until we reached Sacramento,
but I had learned enough not to buy
any wine which did not bear the price
in big letters on the bottle. But
forgot, I am tiring you out and will
proceed to San Francisco, and give
you the details in our next.
The first man 1 recognized in San
Francisco was our old friend C. W. I
Ilaskins, “Rec’r,” and he seemed glad
to meet me. He is out here working
on a set of books for somebody, and
from “all accounts” is getting rich
very rapidly.
I have seen Nat Sims and Ben Rooz,
and both aro doing well and well
thought of in their respective busi
nesses. 1 met Dr. Bradford and Walker,
and the doctor is evidently out for
what he can learn. He sees everything,
remembers everything and writes ex
ceedingly well, so you may be assured
of getting a good description of Cali
fornia and San Francisco from his let
ters. I have been too busy and the
weather too disagreeable to see much,
but will tell you something about life
out here in my next.
Hope you all arrived safely at home
from your trip, and cannot express to
you my gratification for that token of
your friendship.
Am expected to sail on March 1st,
but may be here several weeks.
As ever yours,
UlSNRY.
