!'■ CUSTOMS OF THE MIKADO. Whe Japanese Ruler,s Methods of Dealing With Ministers and People. His Majesty's daily customs are very regular. He always goes to his study at 9 a. m. and remains at work there until 4 p. m. He reads and signs ail parliamentary laws and decrees. When a Cabinet Minister addresses his Majesty about any public matter ho Inquires about the subject, the purpose and condition, and decides it. He is firm and not changeable. When he de cides a matter once he cannot after that be moved. At the beginning of Matsukata's Cab inet Parliament decided to reduce the aalariea of the Cabinet Ministers and other Government officers. The Prime Minister, Count Matsukata, addressed his Majesty about it. His Majesty did not consent and he said: ‘‘Many officers cannot live upon a fixed salary. Some Cabinet Ministers have been obliged to borrow money, and I ad vanced money from my treasury to support them. If the present Cabinet Ministers retain their positions by bor rowing m uey all Cabinet Ministers, therefore, cannot do so. Therefore I cannot consent to the reduction of salaries.” Count Matsukata retired from His Majesty. However, the Cabinet once more debated the question with the Count, and Matsukata went again to consult the Emperor His Majesty was not inclined to see him again, and sent an attendant to say to him: “I have already commanded about the reduction of salaries. I can not see you any more.” The salaries were, therefore, not re duced. His Majesty understands the condi tion of the lower classes, and familiar izes himself with the private conduct of the Cabinet Ministers. When he reads newspaper articles relating to the pri vate misconduct of any Cabinet Minis ters and attacking him, his Majesty sometimes smiles. His Majesty is fond of reading books and newspapers. He is especially fond of German books He likes to compose Japanese poems, which he can do very readily. His ability in that respect is much admired by his attendants. His Majesty dislikes all pretense and hypocrisy. When it has been reported to his Majesty that some of his subjects have given their lives in time of flood or earthquake to preserve his Majesty’s picture, he has been much touched; but he is anxious to discourage his subjects from such quixotism, and to preserve them from any but necessary danger. Withal the Emperors life is a very happy and peaceful one, blessed by the love and respect of grateful subjects; and when his Majesty makes a tour anywhere in Japan without his guards he is in no danger, but is received everywhere with reverence and joy. —Japanese American Voice. Dishonored Drafts. When the stomach dishonors the drafts made upon it by the rest of the system, it is necessa rily because its fund of strength is very low. Toned with Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, It soon begins to pay out vigor in the shape of pure, rich blood containing the elements of muscle, bone and brain. Asa sequence of the new vigor afforded the stomach, the bowels perform their functions regularly, and tho liver works like clock work. Malaria has no effect upon a system thus reinforced. In every school lu Paris there is a restaurant where free meals are served to the children who are too poor to pay for them. Just try a 10c. box of C’asearcts, the Quest liver and bowel regulator ever made. A. M. Priest, Druggist, Sholbyville, Ind., says: “Hall’s Catarrli Cure gives the best of satisfac tion. Can get plenty of testimonials, as it cures every one who takes it.” Druggists sell it, 75c. Capcarf.ts stimulate liver, kidneys and bowels. Never sicken, weaken or gripe; 10c.

People After Physi cian, Failed. .From tbs Republican, Columbus, Tnd, Prof. B. S. Bowman, tho ablo instructor of natural science in the famous llartsville (Ind.) College, is well and favorably known, not only as an educator, but also as a min ister of the gospel, as for a number of years he was pastor of the United Brethren church at Charlotte, Mich., before coming to HartsviUe, rr.OF. B. S. BOWKAIf. Some time ago he had a severe Illness which was cured almost miraculously. A reporter hearing of this, interviewed him regarding his experience. Prof. Bowman was in the midst of his work when the re porter called, but he cheerfully gave him a hearing. "A year ago last fall,” said the professor, "I broke down with nervous exhaustion, and was unable to properly attend to my duties. I tried different physicians but with no relief, and also used many different pro prietary medicines, spending almost fifty dollars for these medicines alone. I then succumbed to a seige of the grip in the middle of winter, and was left in a much worse condition. My kidneys were fearfully disordered, and my digestion became very poor. I was indeed in a bad condition. ‘‘A minister in conference learning of my condition advised me to tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I had heard much about the wonderful curative powers of this medicine, but it was with reluctance that I was finally persuaded to try it, as it seemed that nothing could do me any good. However, I procured three boxes of pills and took them strictly according to direc tions. By the time the last dose was taken I was almost cured, and in better health than I had been for years. I continued using the pills awhile longer and was entirely cured. I can cheerfully recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Such was Professor Bowman's wonderful •story, which was fully endorsed by the fol lowing affidavit: Habtsviu-e, Ind,, March 16, 1697. I affirm that the above accords with the facts in my case. B. W. Bowmas. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 10th day of March, 1897. Limas J. Scedukb. Notary Public. State of Ihdiasa, ss. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and re store shattered nerves. They are sold in boxes (never in loose form, by the dozen or hundred) at JO cents a box, or six boxes for $2. JO, and may be had of all druggists or directly by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medi cine Cos., Schenectady, N. ¥. Judicious Expenditures Cause Big Re turns To the merchant who is happy if he can sell his goods at an increase of ten to twenty per cent, over the cost, how almost incredible must it seem that typewriting machines and bicycles, w hich cost from about sixteen to tiven ty-five dollars to manufacture, can be sold for 3100 —or even $50 —each? What machines are more universally used today than these two, excepting the sewing machine? How hard the merchant struggles for his ten per cent, profit while the typewriting machine and the bicycle sell at a price which is from four to six times the cost of manufacture. Judicious and continuous advertis ing has made this possible. Effie —That young Jones kisses every girl that he meets. Jack (angrily)—How do you know that he does?

HAVEMEYER ACQUITTED. Cane Against tlie 3lillionaire Sugar Trust President Collapses. Interest in tlie trial of Henry 0. Havemeyer, president of the American Sugar Defining Company, at Washing ton, for contumacy before the senate sugar investigating committee, was greatly intensified Thursday morning by the pending motion of the defense to instruct the jury to bring in a ver dict of not guilty. The court surtained the motion of the defense and the case against Havemeyer was dismissed. When asked by an Associated Press reporter after the trial, whether the verdict was satisfactory to him, Mr. Havemeyer said: “Certainly it is satisfactory to me and to every descent man in the coun try.” TUMBLED INTO TALLULAH.

Marshall Clower, a young com mission man and broker of Atlanta, Ga., fell headlong into the turbulent waters of Tallulah falls Thursday af ternoon and was dashed to death in the mad whirlpools and on the rocks. He was one of a party of excursion ists who went up with the conductors to picnic at the falls. He was fishing a minnte before he met his death. A stiff breeze was blowing at the time. When at one of the highest points of the cliff the hat of Clower blew off toward the edge of the stream and in endeavoring to regain it he lost his balance and fell in a tumbled beap into the rapid flowing waters beneath.

The funding board has authority to borrow* money to meet the July inter est and the legislature restored the tax rate to 40 cents in an amendment to tho revenue bill.

There was au attempt to bring for ward the Cuban question in the house Thursday.
