Not one person in a dozen can withstand the Spring season without having the system pervaded by an unmistakable- feeling of lassitude. The accumulated impurities of a year combat nature's ef fort to throw them off, result ing in a depressed, wornyut, good-for-nothing condition which takes possession of the system. It is now. that a few Dottles 0 S. S. S. are needed to thoroughly . cleanse the blood and build up the system. It removes all impurities, tones the stom ' ach,-and renews the appetite, imparting new life and vigor to the entire body, so that the trying period of Spring is passed without any unpleas- ant effects. S. S. S. is far ahead of other blood reme-. dies because it is purely vege table,' containing no arsenic, potash or mercury, which are so injurious to the digestive organs. Insist on S. S. S.

About two years ago-1 had a severe attack of rheumatism, was confined to toy room for twelve weeks, and during that time was induced to try P. P. P.; Lippman'sGr-eat Kemedy, knowing that each ingredient was ffooj for impurities of the blood. After use. inr two small bottles I was relieved.

New York, March O.-The weekly stateTnent of the associated banfcl shows the following dhanges; Reserve, decrease $4,694,575; loans, Increase, $457,500; specie, Increase 5260,100; legal tenkJers,- decrease $6,046,000; deposits, decrease $4,365,300; circulaltion, decrease $258,400. The -banks now 'hoM $48,095,976 In excess of legal requirements. The New York Financier says this week: The sta'tefment wf the assoclatexj banks of New. York city for the week ending March-, 20th shows a marked reduction In reserve, the cash hold- ings "havirrg decreased not less than; $5,786,900. The surplus reserve shows a similar contraction, the loss for the week (J4.694.575) bringing the excess cash In the ibanks to $48,168,796, which Is over $9,000,000 less than was reported. three weeks ago. In this perfod loans have Increased aTaout the Same amount, while deposits are only $500,000 heavier. The loss of nearly J6,000,ooo m casq durine the Jast week Is easily ac- counted for. The banks paid about $5,- 000,000 to the treasury on account df the custom nouse wlohdrawais' on bonded -goods, and as this money In volved a. transfer of funds out or tmi ibanks, rather than the opening of credits, which would swell the deposit! account, the loss was actual, and re duced the net cash holdings, the move ment which resulted In these sudden; payments to the custom house on tlia part df importers has apparently run its course. tAs it necessitated Dorrotw- Iroers in nearly the same amount af the Taytnent of duties, a correspond- inc increase was 'looked lor in tne loan total, "but the Increase as shown by the statement was only $457,500. -rne onis difference, therefore, is that there hafe been considerable liquidation In other loans. Since the first of March the loan exDansion has 'been $8,752,000. but as J$6,000,00 at least must have been ad ded to this sum, last ween, Tne con traction in other outstanding loans atmears plain. The banks are still de- creasing their 'eurculation, the reduc tion of S258.400 last week making a total contraction Of $4,308,300 since- De cember 17th. This is an unprecedented decline, but the necessity "and advisa bility of such a Course are not to "be disputed when the congestion or tna local money market Is taken into con sideration. Cotton Futures. (Special to 'The Messenger.) New York, March 20. It Is not ofterj that rwe have a less 4nteresting week in cotton than the one Just ended. This cannot 'be attributed to a lack Of fea tures whichi usually affect prices. Thl u'nfavoralble planting prospects report ed from every section of the south should naturally have stimulated the market. The liberal movement and the renewed danger of an outbreak of war in Europe might have resulted in somi decline, 'but the speculators of tne world sit Idly by and have refused to take part In operations on either side.

The United States Agricultural De partment in reporting on Free Seed Distribution, says: j "While one purpose of the law was to secure reports from the receivers as to results of actual experiment the reports actually received did not amount to one-hundredth of one per cent, of the persons supplied. Nor were those received sufficiently definite to be of any practical service. A careful review of the department reports, es pecially those of the chiefs of the seed division during the past decade, in which over $1,100,000 was expended for free seed distribution, fails . to reveal a single instance of benefit to agricul ture attributable to this distribution. 'Of hundreds of papers, mostly agri cultural, received at the department not one is found to commend the dis tribution, many of them persistently ridicule It, most of them condemn it, while grange associations - and other agricultural bodies have adopted res olutions to the same effect." Cultivator and Country Gentleman, of Albany, N. Y., says: ' ; "If congressmen wish to make pres ents of seeds to their bucolicand oth er constituents, they should do so at their own and not at Uncle Sam s ex pense. The sending out of seeds of particular kinds for trial in various sections of the country, to be acknowl edged by reports when results have been noted, is a practice which may result in great benefit to agriculture; but the deaiing out of ordinary vege table and flower seeds (costing thedo nors nothing) by congressmen to every Tom,' Dick and Harry who chooses to apply for. them (and to! many who do not), entailing: extra labor and expense on the post-office department, is a mighty poor business. It is well known that many persons write for seeds ana then sell them, which is theft of the meanest kind, though one of many bad results which might be expected to ac crue from such irrational appropria tions." A dispatch from Paris, Texas, says: "The post-office .here has a white ele phant on its hands in the shape of bien nial supply of garden seed that .has been sent out by Congressman D. B. Culberson to his constituents. There are seen in the consignment for pari ties who have ' been dead for fifteen years aspd for others who have remov ed from this section nearly as many years ago, The quantity of seeds sent to this office for distribution is enor mous." !

Three different ministerial unions in New York city Methodist, Presbyte rian and Congregational have passed resolutions strongly condemning what is called the Lauterbach bill, which provides for the control of thepolice force of the Greater New York by the governor at the state capital. The Methodist ministers, in their resolu tions, desired "to record an earnest protest against the passage at this time by the state legislature, under any pretext of any law which shall su persede the present board of. police commissioners by a state commission of police, as a dangerous reversal of the policy of home rule." Mark that! "A dangerous reversal of the policy of home rule." There are ministers and ministers. Charleston News and Cou rier.! . "It is certain that the development of unbounded luxury, of high living and ail Its artificial accompaniments, does not tend to produce a worthy type of character among those whose ocupa tioris owe their existence to the lavish requirements and self-indulgent habits of wealthy patrons. The tendency is to produce a class, of flunkeys, of mean spirited and servile people. There " is a loss of healthy independence i and an eager readiness to pander to every morbid craving engendered in the sick ly atmosphere of an artificial society. It is not well, in short, that any large number of our working people should be dependent for their livelihood upon the capricious frivolity, the' unnatural standards- of living, the false tastes, and the extravagant social rivalries of a class to whom wealth and ostenta tion are all in all. "To speak of the moral -effect upon the possessors of great wealth of their -manner of em ploying it, would be to go over famil iar ground. The preacher and the mor alist of all periods have not ceased to warn the rich and great of the sure results of the misuse of their posses sions; and the common sense and con science of enlightened men can hardly dismiss the conviction that unbounded luxury and extravagance of living are not good for any nation."

As a sample" of the wisest and most progressive legislation that the winter has produced in any part of the coun try; we select an act passed by the sol pns of North Dakota, It is a law pro viding that no person shall be disqual ified as a juryman because of having expressed or formed an opinion found ed on newspaper reports or rumors This act, .will improve the character of Ju ries in that state by rendering it possi ble to secure intelligent citizens for Jury' duty. The plain fact is that every "pern son who reads the newspapers has fortned an opinion on any and every important criminal case; but no intel ligent person ever has an opinion - of such a case that is fixed beyond the power of change. "If the facts are as stated in the papers, or by .common rumor," the intelligent citizen thinks, "the accused is guilty." But his mind is in a receptive condition, and if the evidence- disproves reports and estab lishes a reasonable doubt, he is ready to acquit.

Washington Post. As to Free Alcohol. I This tariff classification of alcoholio toilet preparations was never intended by congress, and now that the discrim ination against domestic alcohol and jour manufacturers who use it in TOakt Ing similar goods has been discovered, the mistake will doubtless be corrected in the. next tariff law, but 1$ neex theless a positive demonstration of the fact, since no one contends that these toilet preparations are being purchased for the purpose of illicitly recovering by distillation the alcohol which they contain, that the objection urged against the policy of free alcohol for medicines and the arts by the internal revenue bureau would not be sustain ed in practice, fl is' confidently claimed by experts who have examined this subject, tht the new industries which would be es tablished in the United Stages as tle result of a liberal policy by the gov ernment, as to the use "pf commercial alcohol free of tax, together with the benefits which would be conferred on allied industries, would create employ ment for at least 150,000 artisans. A let ter dated October 11, 1887, addressed to the; chief of the bureau of statistics the Hon. David A. Wells, formerly special commissioner of the revenue, presents a remarkable illustraUcuii at thej theory that the etablfsSedment of new industries i of equal benefit to Contributory industries. This letter was prepared for the purpose of supJ plying information i relative to the quantity of alcohol used in the arts at that time in the United States After referring to the general u?" wf aTcnixture of alcohol and turtentine as a burn ing fluid, and the discovery of petro leum In Pennsylvania coincident with the: imposition of the. first; tax an dis tilled spirits, he Concluded, ''that par-' tion of hs leu'er by stating that "the lamps and appurtenances devised and adapted in the United States for th use of the distillates of petroleum, were alone sufficient to employ the entire manufacturing capacity of all the glassworks, of the country for a term equivalent to two entire years " , H?de,r, a carefully constructed and faithfully administered law, freeing ai, cohol from tax used in mediemend the: arts, it is claimed that exactly sim ilar advantages would certainly result to the many industries which are con, tributory to the manufacture of articles requiring alcohol to produce them.

TWO FATAIi PRIZE FIGHTS. Edward Gibbons Killed bx m Blow 81mllar to the On V hlch Knocked Out Corbett. Another Death From Elleet of a Blow in the Bins. Philadelphia,' March 20. Last night." In a boxing bout at the Tenth Ward Demo cratic Club, Samuel S. Perry struck Ed ward Gibbons a blow near the heart sim ilar to the one with which Fitzsimmons defeated Corbett, and at 12:30 o'clock-this morning" Gibbons died. The contest' was one of a n timber on the programme of entertainment of the club, and the men were good friends. For two rounds the contest continued without much damage being done, although It was dear to the pectAtort that Gibbons was no match for Parry. In the third round the men spans ed for a minute, and Perry, who had de cidedly the better of the . argument, stepped tn close and shot a hard jab into Gibbons' body. His glove landed just under the heart, and the recipient stag gered back, but did not fall.' At this point Referee Gillespie ordered the bout stopped, declaraing that Gibbons was clearly un matched, and the two men took- off their gloves. Perry went home, while Gibbons after dressing stayed about the club house some time. Suddenly he complain ed of feeling sick and began vomiting blood. This alarmed the crowd, and Dr. Curry was called to see after him. The physician found the - man badly Injured from internal hurts, due to the shock, and as he continued to sink ordered his removal t to the hospital. 'Gibbons was taken to a hospital in a comatose condi tion and with the blood coming from his mouth. No marks were visible to show where the blow landed, but the patient continued to sink, and at 12:30 o'clock he died. Perry was arrested at his home. He declared that the bout was friendly.-and that he did not hit Gibbons very hard. Martin Comber, a well , known custom house employe : and the "president of the club, was arrested this mornlg, as were also James O'Neill, who seconded Gib bons, and Sam Farrell, a spectator. Perry was arraigned before Magistrate Jermean today and committed to jail to await the action of the coroner Comber, O'Neill and Referee Gillespie were held In $800 bail each as accessories. Another death as the result of a box ing bout occurred this morning at St. Mary's r hospital. Christian Keilnecker, aged 46 years, was the victim. On Thurs day night Keilnecker and Frank Connelly, aged 35 years; engaged in a glove contest in a room over a blacksmith shop at Fourth and Oxford streets, and Keilneck er was badly worsted. The latter went to his home, and yesterday he was found un conscious in bed and was removed to the hospital. Keilnecker's face, presented a sorry spectacle. His right eye was closed, and his nose and forehead were badly con tused. Shortly after his admission to the hospital the' injured man developed de lirium tremens, which, the doctor says, was superinduced by the treatment he . received. Connelly was taken into cus tody yesterday. It Is not known whether gloves were usea, although it is claimed ' by mutual friends of Connelly and Keil necker that it was a rnendly bout. Con nelly Is a much larger man than Keil necker. The . latter had been drinking heavily of late. This morning he died. What Are We Coming To ?
