HAY FEVER FOR 27 YEARS
Well Known New England Woman
Cured by Hyoraci Cure Was
Lasting.
The thousands l discouraged people
mho dread summer's approach because
they think that hay lever cannot be avoid
ed, will read with interest aud trratitinle
the following statement from Helen F.
'Wi'iliains of Mniisiii'ld, Mass.
"Kur i!" years, from the month of Au
gust until heavy frost, I have been aftilct-
ed with hay fever, growing worse and
worse each year, and of late years 1 was
unable to attend to my work during that
period.
"Last summer I fortunately pave Ilyo
mei a trial and am happy to say that it en
tirely cured me and 1 have had no return
of the ai'ilietion since."
This letter is one of many that have
come to the proprietors of jlyomei, and
the results followlug this treatment have
been o wonderful that it is proposed at
the annual convention of hay fever suffer
ers to recommend Ilyomei to all who are
susceptible to this disease.
Jljomeiisa treatment for hay fever
that combines the latest discoveries of
science and the hot of common sense.
Knowing that a change of climate was the
only way in which relief could be ob
taintd, the evolution of Ilyomei naturally
resulted. By breathing its perm-killing
aud heullne balsams, anyone can have, at
any moment of the day, either in their
home, the office or the factory, a climate
like that of the White Mountains or other
health resorts w here hay fever Is unknown.
The Bed Cross Pharmacy aree to re
fund the money to any hay fever sufferer
who uses Ilyomei if it does not give satis
faction. OSXEY AND WHISTLER.
The Actor IteeciIlN l:iillntn lit (on
no tion With Iiin "Slttitiw."
When Henry 1'. Dlxey was. In Lon
don playin;; "Adonl.s" he sat for James
McNeill Whistler, the American artist
Who died a few day u;.o, and the two
men became trieiiil ;. IUxey's recollec
tions of the eccentric painter are inter
esting nt this time, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
"He Kent me word one day," said the
actor recently, "that he would like to
come to my dressing room nnd watch
nio make np uiy face for the imper
sonation 1 was giving of Henry Irving,
lie came nnd siod behind me, watch
ing the process of the transformation
in the mirror. lie acted like a delight
ed child nil through the operation. With
the addition of every new line and ef
fect he would titter an exclamation of
pleasure nnd then confront me nnd ex
. amine more closely the counterfeit
countenance. When the fcisk was com
pleted he pronounced the resemblance
'marvelous,' even nt close range.
"He invited me to luncheon the next
day and usked lite to permit bim to
paint me in my white and blue cos
tume, t sent for it, and lie stood it!"
on a pink unit and before a lnvetid r
background. Then he discard:-. d the
monocle, put on it pair of 1.1 specta
cles, and, really, the man underwent. a
complete change of manner the mo
ment he began to mis his colors. 1
never saw inspiration so clearly de
picted on a face in ny life. He talked
half to himself ns he worked.
" 'Oh. we'll do pouievhhi;: fine this
time, he would say. "Walt, wait, wait;
bold that pose, please. Oh, this will be
all ribt you'll see.' When I thought
he had finished my fh.'ure nt least I
looked at the canvas and found he had
made no! hint,' but the outlines. Whun
I expressed my surprise he explained:
'Ah, tuy boy, I don't work many
others do. I commence at the back
ground and work out to my subject.'
"After an hour's time his conk sum
moned him to dinner, but he still paint
ed on. To my surprise the cook, a
healthy, middle atred woman, began
lecturing him in French and actually
took the brush out of his band and
'compelled him to stop. The artist en
dured this just an a child mUht and
allowed his dominating cook to lead
us to the dining room.
"I sat for hiiu several more times,
but 1 had to leave Knluud before the
picture was finished. I received letters
from him lellliiR me of the progress he
was making, but when I last saw him,
two years ago tu Loudon, I was much
disappointed to learn that the portrait
was in Paris.
"I have 'met a great many famous
men," continued Mr. Dlxey, "but I can
recall none so striking in character as
my departed friend Whistler."

Occasional Inquiries are made 1 '
thoughtful citizens regarding the cost
of challenging and defending the
America's cup, but the answers receiv
ed are always unsat factory, says the
New York IbTald. The conclusion Is
that the expense must be enormous,
but ns it is impossible to obtain any
thing like accurate figures the subject
la generally dropped.
On the eve of the international match
of this year it may be Interesting to
refer to this Important point and at
the same time to place the public iu
possession of a few facts that will give
them a good idea of the amounts of
money that are expended in trying to
capture the. old yachting trophy and
in the efforts made by the New York
Yacht club to defend it.
The planning and building of a cup
challenger or defender involve . much
time and labor and necessarily the out
lay of large sums of money. The de
signer nnd his corps of assistants are
the first that must be met. Mr. Fife,
for the challenging parties, nnd Cap
tain Nat Herreshofr. for the defend
ants, for instance, are men who place
a high value upon their sendees, and,
as the owners of the yachts are liberal
to a marked degree, opening negotia
tions with a view to the building of a
cup yacht means a fee that in Borne
other profession would be looked upon
as staggering in its proportions.
With the designer at work the build
ers in time are consulted, and with ar
rangements satisfactory in this wise
materials must be considered, then the
riggers kept in mind, as well, as the
sail makers, while finally the skip
pers and crew are secured. Money is
required by all these, and much of It.
Even after a vessel is completed and
placed in commission alterations and
repairs are required frequently at
times, while docking the craft for
cleaning and smoothing purposes
means large additional sums.
The. rather startling statement was
made by f-'ir Thomas Upton four years
ago that the mere cost of the Sham
rock t. was between $4U0.kK) and $3K).
OOO, while the expense of bringing the
vessel across the ocean and that of her
oliieere and crew were extra. That
seems a lug lot to pay for the vessel,
but Sir Thomas should be the best
authority on the subject of the cost of
the yacht.
If he expended a sum approaching
half a million dollars four years ng'-
for his challenging yacht the money
the present trip is costing him must be
far in excess of the figures named. The
Lipton tieet now here is proof of that.
It is easy to believe that the Shamrock
III. cost quite as much to build as the
! Shamrock I., and it is quite sure the
bringing over of three crews, those of
the Shamrocks and of the tender
Cruizer, must stand "bim Iu a bigger
amount than the single crew of four
years ago and the additional assistance
he obtained in the United Slates.
So. if $550,(100 or more represented
the challenger's outlay the first attotupt
he made upon the America's on if! it
can safely be estimated that something
in the neighborhood of SoOO.OUO will be
required to foot the bills at home and
here Incidental to his third trial to
win the old trophy.
With the amount that it costs the de
fending side, however, the interest Is
more widespread. I'.y the time the
yachts are called to sail the first race
for the cup the Reliance, selected to
defend it, will have cost, one way and
another, $-135,000 or more. That is a
staggering amount to contemplate, but
when everything is cleared up at the
cud of the season it may tie $150,000.
In addition to this sum, there must
be considered that in placing in com
mission the Constitution her running
expenses reached from $115,000 to $70,
000, while the Columbia has cost Mr. J.
rierpont Morgan $-15,000 or possibly
$55,000. These figures will therefore
show that the defense of the cup this
your will approach the very respectuble
amount of $575,000 or $000,000."
The building and rigging of the Re
liance cost a fortune. The yacht's con
struction required the best of work
men, while nil the standing and run
ning rigging was expressly made, and
her canvas oecunied the attention of a
New York Hospital

" I used a bottle of Qulnona in'
a case of anaemia following bron
chitis in a young man and he
reports a marked improvement.
Kindly send me six bottles, which
will be used in nty services at the
New York Hospital. Qninona is
certainly the most excellent and
palatable tonic I have ever used
and, though owing to the ethical
rules of the various medical so
cieties to which I belong I cannot
let you use my name, 1 will be
niot happy to recommend It to
my colleagues and patients. I
shall introduce It in the New
York Hospital." Quinona builds

What It Cc
large body of sail makers tor mouths.
The Reliance has povsibly a hundred
different sails, and ?13,ooO or so will
represent the e.-t of a suit. In this
particular the Constitution nnd the Co
lumbia have not been so expensive.
The tenders I 'ark City and Satellite
are said to have been purchased by
Mr. E. I. Morgan and Mr. August Bel
mont respectively, but they are valu
able assets aud need not be seriously
considered In this linaucial summary.
The tender Sunbeam is chartered, and
tin-re can be no return from her, but
Sir Thomas' tender Cruizer will be
valuable after the match.
With a crew of about fifty-five on the
Reliance owl a crew on the tender Sun
beam there are many men to be looked
after daily. The yachts' Bailors are
paid big wages ?;13 a month or more
and there is a scale of prize money ar
ranged by Mr. Iselin so liberal that a
Reliance tna, if he is saving, will end
the season with a tidy amount to his
credit.
Racing crews cost prodigiously to
feed, ns they are men iu the best of
health, while their wark naturally
invest them excellent appetites. There
ore quite as many stewards nnd cooks
on tlie Sunbeam looking after the wel
fare of Mr. Iseliu and his associates
and the o'.iieers and crew of the Reli
ance and their own ship as are found
i:i a good sized city hotel
All changes in the yacht's fittings, all
alterations or repairs to rigging and
spars, are paid for extra, while the
docking bills are very large. The
$150,000 or more that the Reliance will
cost must not be included in any way
with the New York Yacht club's ex
penditures in arranging for the races.
The nine men who own the defender
will bear the burden of that vessel's
expenses, but the syndicate does not
meet the personal bills of Mr. Iselin,
the managing owner.
It may cost the club $25,t00 or more
to see that the match is properly sailed
nnd the challenging vessel receives all
that Is due her, while the amount in
cidentally expended by the public that
It may witness the races need not now
bo thought of.
A MINT FOR MENELEK.
Abyssinian Monarch to aiake- Ilia
Own Coin.
. King Menelek of Abyssinia is getting
! long in the world. First he thrashed
the Mnhdists. Then he drove the Ital
ians out of his kingdom. Then he wel
comed the diplomats of European na
tions, playing one against another.
Now he is to have a mint, says the
New York World. What an advance
this means may be realized from the
fact that Abyssinia until recently has
been getting along with cubes of rock
salt for cash. A small amount of coin
minted in France has of late been in
circulation. Now the king will make
his own. Consul Masterson of Aden
reports that bo has saved up 110,30
pounds of gold for the purpose.
There are 400 tons of mint machin
ery. It was sold by a Stettin concern
and was landed at Djibouti, East Af
rica, with a competent mechanic to set
it up. The machinery will be transport
ed by rail to New Harrar. about 150
miles, the end of the road. Thence it
will be transported by caravan to the
capital, Addis Abeba. the caravan jour
ney occupying more than a month.
'GIN BUCK" A NEW DRINK.
It Is I.Ike a Hickey Except That

Nearly every summer some new drink
Is Invented and becomes popular in the
bars over the country, but so far this
season none of several new decoctions
that were started out ns the 'summer's
fad in the drinking line has obtained a
lasting popularity, says the Kansas
City Star. In Virginia, the home of the
mint julep, an cfl'ort was made to super
sede this favorite drink. The new bev
erage was practically the same as the
mint julep, except that it contained ctt
racoa, a cordial. But the new drink
didn't prove popular. Curaeoa, howev
er, is largely used this summer to flavor
drinks.
About the only new driuk called for
at the leading hotels it) Kansas City is
the "gin buck." This is quite popular.
It Is composed of the juice of half a
lime, a Jigger of dry gin, and then the
glass Is filled up with ginger ale. The

There is sin-h a demand In Siberia for
agricultural machinery nnd appliances
of American manufacture that the min
ister of agriculture in that country has
decided to lend government aid to its
distribution. ('onmier"ial Agent Croon
er at Vladivostok Inferma the state de
partment nt Washington that a special
fund has been set astde to establish at
Ilabarofsk a government warehouse for
the benefit of importing jobbers, says
J. D. Whe'.pley in the New York Com
mercial Advertiser. The pre-Amur man
agement of imperial properties will
have charge and will operate to a large
extent In American goods.
The Siberian officials state that they
are greatly in need of Information frota
competent sources regarding the pur
chase nnl importation of such goods
from the United Staffs, and they ask
for the address of firms dealing in ag
ricultural machinery, price lite, and
catalogues, lists of steamship's plying
between the United States nnd Vladi
vostok and the best terms upon which
goods will be sold.
Mr. Crooner also finds considerable
complaint to the effect that in quoting
prices American firms do not state their
bottom figures. What is needed is the
lowest quotation for goods, details as
to payments In cash or on time, the
latter being preferred, and several
copies of a brief catalogue in the Rus
sian language.
Consul General Patterson, at Calcut
ta, Is confident that a large Increase in
the American trade would follow the
establishment of a rapid and reliable
freight line of steamers between New
York and Calcutta. He Bays that the
only way goods can be shipped at pres
ent from New York to Calcutta is via
Glasgow, Liverpool, London or Naples,
and there is long delay in making these
Shipments. Out of the ?25o,000,(HH)
worth of goods Imported annually by
India the United States only had about
1.5 per cent of the trade, while Fug
land bad about 07 per cent r.nd Ger
many, France nnd Belgium, in the or
der named, the larger part of the re
mainder. About 50 per cent of the Imports art
cotton goods, and the next largest are
Iron and steel manufacture, mid the
American consul s:es no reason why
the United States should not cempete
In these lines. He soys that if a direct
line of steamers was established be
tween New York and Calcutta, sailing
not less than once every month, the
passage not to be more Than forty day k
the importers could then rely upon re
ceiving their goods at specified times.
Consul Patterson also recommends
the putting of active, capable men into
the field to exploit the markets of the
country. There are no restrictions on
trade in India, the only obstacle being
the lack of rapid transit and more de
termined effort to secure business.
In line with the suggestion made t y
Consul Patterson the bureau of statis
tics at Washington has been looking up
the figures on the trade between India
and the United States. -India ranks
sixth among the exporting and tenth
among the luiiiorting countries. Last
year her exports amounted to over
$400,000,000 nnd her linjHirts to $204.
000,000. Thirty-six per cent of theic
Imports were cottons. Next on the list
were iron and steel products. The bu
reau estimates that 50 per cent of In
dia's Imports are of a class of goods
which might be called Indigenous to
the United States and that fully three
fourths of the entire list Is made up of
articles successfully produced by and
exported from the United States. Not
withstanding this fact, our exports to
India amount to less than 2 per cent
of the imports of that country.
The popularity of American flour in
Chirm is attracting attention on both
sides of the globe. The British consul
general at Canton In a report sent from
China to Loudon and published in that
city states that the demand for flour
among emigrants returned from the
United States is so great that the
quantity of flour Imported In !ft02 ex
ceeded that of 1001 by 05.831,328
pounds and was also some 78,400,000
pounds in excess of the average for
the past five years. Stated in dollars,
we are now selling to the Chinese $4,
07,000 worth of" flour annually.
The Cuban republic is making an ef

changed so that breeding sheep and

stock. The government has also ex
empted barbed wire and staples used
in building fences from the payment
of the tariff duties, hoping thereby to
encourage the inclosure of large pas

MILES AND THCPRESIDENCY

Apropos of the retirement of Get'enw
Nelson A. Miles from the command oi

illustrate hi attitude on the quor-mm i
of being a candidate for the presidency j
He was then stationed cm a wesioiu
frontier, and was approached by t-"1
representative of an eastern paper, vi,n
said:
"They say in the cast that you a;--ahuing
for the presidency."
-Do thevr the general rep.ie.i
"Well, we won't takV much tune for
cu interview on that subject. 'I be
thing reminds me of an experienc"
that'a scout bad in the old days when
we were righting the Cheyenaes in
1V7-, T'.-it se.mt was a clubtooted
French::,::.!!, a plucky, good fellow .
He hud to make his way from i"
Keough to a cantonment on the Mis
souri, and the Cheycnnes were atter
him. They pushed him like Satan, and
after a time his horse gave out, and h'
had to hoof It. Weil, it was a rough,
bad country, and his poor clubfeet
Slipped and stumbled and slid so that
his trail must have been something
awful to contemplate. An Indian can
read marks in the ground as well as
you and I can read a Ixiok, hut they
had never dogged a clubfoot before.
He got into the cantonment all right,
and pretty soon the Cheyenne caui i
along. They pointed to the trail and
asked our people to look at them. 'We
can't make out which way that fellow
was going.' said they. Now, that's the
case with these people who busy them
selves about me. They don't know any
thing about me, and they can't find
out."
After a pause General Miles turned
his head and spoke a few worfls over
his shoulder. "My only ambition Is to
command brave men," said he, "and
I've been doing that for thirty years."
