Do YotX - 1 o w that opium and morphine are stupefying narcotic poisons ?
Ho You Kno w that in most countries druggists are not permitted to sell narcotics
without labeling them poisons ?
Bo Yon Know that you should not permit any medicine to be given your child
unless you or your physician know of what it is composed ?
Dt> Von Know that Castoria is a purely vegetable preparation, and that a list of
its ingredients is published with every bottle ?
BO Ton Know that Castoria is the prescription of the famous Dr. Samuel Pitcher.
That it has been in use for nearly thirty years, and that more Castoria is now sold than
of all other remedies for children combined?
Bo Von Know that the Patent Office Department of the United States, and of
other countries, have issued exclusive right to Dr. Pitcher and his assigns to use the word
“ castoria ” and its formula, and that to imitate them is a state prison offense ?
Do Voa Know that one of the reasons for granting this government protection
was because Castoria had been proven to be absolutely harmless ?
Do You Know that 33 average doses of Castoria are furnished for 33
cents, or one cent a dose?
Do You Know that when possessed of this perfect preparation, your children may
be kept well, and that you may have unbroken rest?

the relatively large number reported in

which the totals have fallen off from (

failures in New England have de- 1
creased notably as compared with a j

WHY HAAS RESIGNED.
--
His Jurisdiction was interfered With
by Finley’s Election,
Mr. Sol. Haas, traffic manager of
the Southern Railway, has resigned
from bis position. It is supposed that
the reason which lead to the resigna
tion was that Mr. Haas was deprived
of a large part of his jurisdiction when
Mr. W. W. Finley, who was commis
sioner of the Southern States Passen
ger Association, was elected third vice
president of the Southern Railway,
Mr. Finley was given charge of the
traffic service which Mr. Haas has had
under his control.

ARMES ARRESTED.
GEN. SCHCFIFLD HAD TUE M A¬
JOR LOCKER UP.
An Insulting J-etter to the “Acting
Secretary of War.”
Major Armes was arrested at Wash
ington Friday and confined in the bar
racks. The fil'der for bis arrest w>'.s
signed by Assistaut Adjutant General
Vincent, “by order of the acting seo
retary of war.” Lieutenant General
John M. Schofield was the acting sec
retary of war. Merely as command
ing officer of the army he would not
have authority to order the arrest.
There has been a personal quarrel
of twenty-five years’ standing between
Genera! Schofield and Major Armes.
General Schofield retires on Sunday,
the 29th, aud Friday was the last but
one on which he could exercise any
authority whatever over Major Armes.
Smarting under injustice which, as
he professes to be the victim, General
Schofield had done him, Major Armes
visited the war department during the
day unaware of the fact that General
Schofield was acting secretary of war,
and requested an interview with Gen
eral Schofield, which was refused. He
then sent a letter to General Schofield
reading in part as follows:
“General John M. Schofield,United
States Army—-Sir: Before you are re
tired from active duty I thought I
would call your attention to the in
j’astice, wrongs and persecutions you
lave inflicted upon me during the
years 1808-70 aud up to the present
time. As to my knowledge, I have
given you no cause. I would like to
have an explanation as to your grounds
for making my life a hell and trying
to ruin me in the you have.
“The indorsement upon the charges
I preferred against Lieutenant Colonel
A. D. Nelson in 1870, denouncing me
: as a worthless character, etc., was the
first attack upon me. In addition to
| ignoring and failing to investigate The
serious Charges winch 1 then submitted,

. “George A.
Major Armes was sitting in his par
lor after dinner when Lieutenant Com
ings, accompanied by Second Lieu
tenant Gordon Heiner, appeared in
the doorway with a file of soldiers and
read the order of arrest. Major
Armes attempted to resist arrest, but
finally requested a few minutes to
prepare himself, and then accompanied
the officers to the arsenal in an ambu¬
lance which had been provided.
Speaking of the matter to a reporter,
General Schofield said:
“Unfortunately, it happened I was
acting secretary of war yesterday. The
commanding general of the army has
no authority over retired officers, and
if Secretary Lamont had been here I
should have simply sent the papers up
to him for him to take such action as
he might deem proper and necessary.
As it was, there was nothing for me to
do but to take immediate action, and
I ordered Captain ^irmes’ arrest and
confinement in the guardhouse. As
soon as the secretary returns I shall
turn the prisoner and the case over to
him, end shall have nothing more to
do with it.”
Who partakes in another’s joys is a
non humane character than he who
partakes in his griefs.
SYMPATHY FOR CUBA.
Monster Mass Meetings Held at CM
eago aud Resolutions Adopted.
Surrounded by patriotio mottoes,
with the American flag as a back
ground, the declaration of independ
t-nee as a texibonk and the spirit of
yelled* liberty as inspiration, 4,000 persons
themselves bourse at Chicago
Monday night in the cause of Cuban
independence. There could scarcely
have been more enthusiasm had the
meeting been held in Cuba it
self. Central Music hall was not
big enough to hold all the
sympathizers and there was an over
flow meeting iu the auditorium of the
Young Men’s Christian Association
building. At both meetings the same
resolutions were adopted and speeches
were made by men prominent in civic
affairs, all of whom uncompromisingly
favored the freedom of the lit!!e
island in the thraldom of Spain. The
resolutions express sympathy for the
revolutionists, call on the United
States to recognize them as belliger
ents and ask other countries to join in
making this demand, They begiu
with the best known paragraph in the
declaration of independence and end
w'ith a determination to continue the
work thus auspiciously begun.
THEIR DOORS OPENED
To Union Men, but They Will Not
Sign the Amalgamated Scale.
The mill of the Gliver Iron and Steel
Company at Pittsburg, Fa., is declared
open to union men. This action, which
is satisfactory, to the company and the
men, has been taken by the Amalga
mate( j Association lodge at that mill.
When D. B. Oliver refused to recog
nize the Amalgamated Association or
to sign its scale a strike was declared,
The mill hns been successfully operat
however, and without union rules,
During the past year a lodge, was
formed in the mill without objection
from t b e company. Many urgent re
qne sts have been made to the national
officers to declare the mill open so that
union men could go to work. Union
wa^es Tch have been paid by the company
wh has not, and likely will not,
B ]\j |g n the amalgamated wage scale,
any former employes will now re
turn ; but no skilled worker will be re
moved to make place for the men who
have been on a strike for two years.
