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. W. L. Chambers. 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.

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.

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.
