THE EVENING GALL. Vol. X. No. 209. AMERICAN COLORS TORN DOWN AMERICAN COLORS TORN DOWN A Mob at Manaos, Brazil. Insult the “Stars and Stripes." The press dispatches a few days i since contained the announcement that the U, 8 Gunboat Wilmington had touched at Manaos, Brazil, and after a short stay had proceeded on her way to Iquitos. The trip of the Wilmington up the Amazon may cause serious trouble be tween the Brazilian government and the United States, as it caused the citizens of Manaos to offer a flagrant effront to the Americans living in that city, besides tearing down the Stars and Stripes from the American con sul’s office. Coh R. J. Redding received a letter Saturday from his son, Mr. 8 A. Red ding, who is living io Manaos and witnessed the demonstration that was made against the Americans. Mr Redding’s letter was written on April 12, and in referring to the affair he says: ‘ The Wilmington left Manaos last week and headed up the river for Iquitos. A day or two later, after she bad gotten well under way, the papers here set up a great howl, saying in substance that the American gun boat Wilmington bad gone to Iquitos after having beets refused permission Dy the government at Rio. “Last Sunday afternoon (April 9ib) there was a big demonstration against the Wilmington, the U. 8. Govern ment and all Americans in Manaos. “A mob of about 3,000 fools paraded I the streets all the afternoon, howling and cursing and swearing at the Wil mington, the pilot that took the boat up, the company that furnished the pilots and the American residents here “Toward dusk the procession beaded toward the office of the American con sul, which is also the office of the Ma naos Electric Light Company, Mr- Redman being al the head of both. They pulled down the consular sign and coat of arms, which contained the American colors, and damaged the property considerably. “After thia the bowling idiots started for Mr. Redman’s residence. Upon reaching there, they demanded his > appearance, but Mr. Redman was at the hotel where he takes bis meals, and what the mob would have done, had be been at home, is only conject ure “The next day news was received here that the Wilmington had the necessary authority to proceed to Iquitos and now the patriotic, misguid- j ed idiots have not a word to say. But it is too late now. The trouble has , been wrought and complications are likely to occur. “Mr. Redman is making it hot for the leaders of the Sunday afternoon i affair, and has worn out consider able shoe leather walking to and from the governor’s palace. “It is quite a eeiioue affair to say the least of it, when the people of an other country insult the Stars and Stripes ” Deafness Cannot he Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the 1 mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free, F. J. CHENEY A CO., Toledo, O.

Some protestations have been made in Havana against the order of Collec tor of Customs Bliss forbidding the importation into that city of firearms ; but (he Havana newspaper La Lucba (‘The Light’), whose name reflects the clearness of its common sense, present ed an unanswerable argument in favor of the prohibitive order when it raid : “We need plows, not guns!’’ ——— - ■■■ - ■ Bears the 1(58 YouHateAlways Bought Signature of For Bladder Troubles use Stuart’s Gin and Bu ch u.

THE WORD PROPOSITION. One Man Who Im Hot Over the Varied I «e of It. “ Wlidi a new word is introduced into the language, remarked a constitutional grumbler, “it is generally badly needed, but there is one recent addition that ex asperates me all over. I refer to the up to date application of the word ‘proposition.’ It is no longer used in the sense of a pro posal or an offer, but is applied to every thing under the sun, from a clergyman to a cocktail and from a horseless carriage to a can of embalmed beef. There never was a word in the English language so hard worked and so iiadly abused, and the way it is dragged in by the heels to oke out the scanty vocabulary of every conversational chump one meets is enough to drive a fel low to drink. ‘ ‘ The other day a friend of mine (I mean he was a friend then; I have since scratch ed him off my list) took me out to look at his new cottage, and as we stood at the front gate feasting our eyes on the prem ises ho said enthusiastically, ‘Well, old man, what do you think of that for a do mestic proposition?’ What he really In tended to do was to ask my opinion of the cottage as a nice, cozy, homelike habita tion ; but, couched in that barbarous ar got, the inquiry made mo mad, and I said things. He took it good naturedly. ‘Well, upon my word,’ he remarked, after I blew off steam, ‘you’re a pretty queer proposition yourself. ’ That is the reason why we don’t speak now. “Every day of my life I hear chaps talk ing about mining propositions and theat rical propositions and Cuban propositions and easy propositions and tough proposi tions and heaven only knows how many other kinds of propositions, never mean ing a proposition at all, but invariably the thing itself, and I am sick and tired of the word. What makes it extra offensive is a certain indefinable wing tipping, poke you in the ribs suggestion about it. Con found the thing! If I were in the council, I’d pass an ordinance making it a misde meanor to use the expression inside the city limits.’’—New Orleans Times-Demo crat. Millions Given Away. It is certainly gratifying to the pub lie to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering. The pro prietors of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, have given away over ten million trial bottles of this great medicine; and have the satisfaction of knowing it has absolutely cured thousands of hopeless cases. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarse ness and all diseases of the Throat, Chest and Lungs are surely cured by it. Call on Harris & Son and Carlisle A Ward Druggists, and get a trial bot tle. Regular size 50c and sl. Every bottle guaranteed, or price refunded. Rouss' Views- Charles Broadway Rouss, the great New York merchant, in a recent in terview, makes tbe following asser» tions: Industry, integrity, economy and promptness are cardinal requisites to certain and honorable success, Merit is the trade mark of success; quality the true test of value. Not in time, place or circumstances, but in man lies success; and tbe larger the field, the greater the results. Credit and partnership are the scourge of commercial history, and the ban of commercial experience. Beware of the gifts of the Greeks; they allure that they may destroy; credit is tempting, but ruin surely fol lows in its path. Burn the ledger and learn to say NO; this is the beet for both buyer and seller. Learn when to buy, how to buy, and where to buy. Buy for cash and sell for cash. If you buy bargains, sell bargains. Quick sales and small profits make more sales and greater results. Large profits and few sales mean, in time, no sales and no profits Bargain purchases without bargain I sales is an ambition which overleaps itself, and is as unwise as it is unprofi table. Long credits with large profits tempt both buyer and seller, but they awaken the siren song which is ever chanting the funeral dirges of disappointed victims, both buyer and seller being I chief mourners When Nature Needs assistance it may be best to render it promptly, but one should remember to use even the most perfect remedies only when needed.

Carried Everythin? in Stock- The country store owned by Mr. Jabez Dodd contained such a motley conglomeration in the way of “stock” that a village lounger one day offered to bet that another man could not ask for anything in everyday use, without Uncle Jabe’s producing it. Tbe two men entered the store, and the challenged party said : “Got any false teeth on band today, Uncle Jabe?” Without an instant’s hesitation Un cle Jabe put his hand to his mouth, and a moment later held out his hand with a set of teeth iu it. 1 There!” he said. “I’ll sell that set mighty cheap, for my gooms hev shrunk so they don’t fit any more, I and I’m goin’ to have some new ones. If you want these fer—” But the two men bad fled, while Uncle Jabe called after: “I’ll let you have 'em for less’n half price.”—Youth’s Companion. An Excellent Combination. | ' The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy. Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate the value of obtaining the liquid laxa tive principles of plants known to be medicinally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening laxa tive, cleansing the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation per manently. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and sub stance, and its acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, without weakening or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative.
