Dr. PAUL BARRINGER, Of the University of Virginia, Recommenfls Mrs. Gner'sIReci Hair Restorer. A perfect remedy for dandruff and falling hair. Mr. T. R. Neel, of Davidson College, writes: In 1S86 my little daughter sud denly and unaccountably lost all her hair. From the crown down and from ear to ear was as bald as the palm of the hand. Months and months passed and the frightful baldness remained. My physician, Dr. Paul ' Barringer, recommended Mrs. Grier's Real Hair Restorer. Determined to give it a fair trial I bought a half dozen bottles. Three bottles of it faithfully used, pro duced no visible effect, but one morn ing, soon after beginning the fourth bottle, to' our surprise and delight, a new growth of hair appeared and so rapid and complete was the restoration that only one more bottle was needed. Ten years have elapsed and no one has a finer suit of hair. Less than one bottle is often effectual Jn checking falling hair. Read inter esting history of R. H. R. MRS. M. G. GRIER, Harrisburg, N. C.

P., Lippman's ereat Rem edy, For It ' Mr. George Erig-gs, of Moore, Okla., suHored almost indescribable torment for three long years. Neuralgia held him captive. The right side of his face was bo badly affected that the slightest touch would cause the unfortunate man intense agony. For several weeks he could open his mouth just wide enough to be fed with liquid nourish ment, and in this manner life was sus tained. "Read the following extract from his letter : " Truth is stranger than -Fiction." NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEUMA TISM COMPLETELY CURED. George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma, writes that P. P. P., Lippman's Great Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial neuralgia and rheumatism, after three years of intense suffering. The pain lay in his cheek bone and temple, down the right side of his face, along his upper lip, and from the slightest touch he suffered agonies for weeks at a time. Could only open his mouth wide enough to admit a teaspoon, and any acid in his food would put him in torture. He had a consultation of the best physi cians in Texas, but all to lio purpose. Catarrh and rheumatism were also causing him much trouble, until he tried P. P. P. He says he is well and will swear that there are no cases of neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism, no matter how chronic or how old the cases are, that P. P. P. will not make a total cure of. ; Mr. Briggs winds up hisj testimony by saying he thanks God and our med icine, P. P.

The market was under steady and unremitting pres sure all day from one source or another and the result is a wide gap in the total valuation of securities, compared with the close yesterday, which it would require many dillions of dol lars to bridge. The only cheerful fae tor in the market was some small early buying for foreign account, which, how ever, failed to sustan values, and the exceptional strength of the Gould shares. During the earlier haurs of trading the bears harped industriously on the developments in the Cuban ques tion and the government's proposed attitude towards it. The Washington advices were held to foreshadow ag gressive action by the government, such as would be likely to embroil the country with Spain. When later ad vices from the capital indicated the milder character of the measures con templated and that they would proba bly be confined to the dispatch of relief to the distressed American citizens in the island, the bears turned to the an nouncement of an additional shipment of $1,250,000 in gold bars by tomorrow's steamer. This makes the total for the steamer $2,250,000, whereas the selling of stocks earlier in the week was based upon an estimate that shipments would aggregate $7,000,000 or even $10,000,000. It is significant, also, that these ship ments were made on cabled orders from Europe, indicating the special charac ter of the demand for the gold. The volume of purchases of securities for foreign account during the week has undoubtedly affected the exchange sit uation. The decrease for the week in the value of dry goods imported at New York, of $2,043,206 is equally significant. The market was, however, under vague apprehension that there would come late news of further heavy shipments, and the bears made this an effective instrument for keeping up the depres sion. Before any notable rally could occur, news was received that the presidents of the anthracite coal roads and com panies had received summons from the attorney general's office at Albany to answer to charges of conspiracy under the new anti-trust laws. Marked heaviness developed as a result in all of the anthracite coalers and sym pathy in the entire list, especially in the industrials which might be pro ceeded against on the same charge as that brought against the coal com panies. New Jersey Central fell to the lowest price of the year under this sell ing. The extreme decline was 2 to 7514. The fall in the other coalers ranged from to 1. Sugar continued heavy and declined 1. The railway list generally sold off a large fraction, the grangers leading, but recovered a portion of the loss before the close. Rubber preferred lost 1. The Gould shares were notable exceptions tp the weakness of the market, Manhattan especially showing a rise . at one time of 1, with a subsequent reaction of c. The gains in the others were con fined to fractions. The closing was steady, the slight recoveries being well held. The total sale of stocks for the day amounted to 131,900 shares, inclding American Sugar 27,100, Burlington and Quincy 11,100, Chicago Gas 10,800, Man hattan Consolidated 7,300, Reading 7,000, St. Paul 11,900, New Jersey Cen tral 10,100. Trading was in small vol ume in the railway and miscellaneous bond market with firmness generally apparent in the speculative issues. The aggregate sales were $736,000. The fea ture of the government bond specula tion was the purchase of a block of $200,000 of the new coupon firsts at a Slight advance. The general market also displayed a hardening tendency. The sales were $225,000. Cotton Futures. (Special to. The Messenger.) New York. May 14. The business of the exchange today consisted chiefly of un doing of straddles by Liverpool. The mar- Ket ma not Droaaen at an, ana oraers from any source were very scarce. Liv erpool surprised everyone by declining ?-64d on the near months this morning. The next crop, however, declined nut slightly. This course was reflected by our market, which opened b points down on the near and only 1 point down on the late months. An absence of any pressure to sell and the Liverpool buying resulted In an advance after the opening, but the market was decldely dull. The manipula tion of July continued. August opened at 7.34, advanced to 7.39 and closed at 7.38 to 7.39, with the tone of the market steady.

BUN & CO.'S KEIORT. Enormous Imports of Bferetiaiidiss Heavy Exports of Wheat and Corn The Iron and Steel Business Coltoa Cloths Soil. Woolens a Little Better. New York, May 14 R, G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow ; will say: Imports of merchandise, $18,282,- 019 for the week at 'New York alone, are 94 per cent, larger, than a year ago, making the; increase 47 per cent for the past six weeks and have affected the exchange markets and helped fur ther shipments of gold, which amount for the week to $2,750,000, but are prac tically balanced by receipts from the Interior, and cause no serious appre hension of financial disturbance, Men feel that present conditions are only temporary, although they tend to pre vent immediate improvement in gen eral trade and hinder immediate in vestments. The government crop report esti-. mates the cotton acreage at 6 per cent, less than last- year,' and is considered encouraging, because so slight a de crease from the floods may easily be made up. Prices have advanced an eighth on Liverpool speculation, with nothing here to warrant the rise. Western receipts of wheat continue larger than last year, 2,109,123 bushels, against 1,870,367 a year-ago and Atlan tic exports also increase, amounting for two weeks in May to 3,106,909 bushels, flour included, against 2,083, 414 last year. Exports of corn are still large, 5,586,855 bushels for two weeks, against 3,004,181 last year ar.d in part account for the smaller demand for wheat. - The output of pig iron for the week ending May 1st was 170,528 tons, against 173,297 April 1st, and the stocks unsold, exclusive of those held by the great steel making companies, increased only 8,808 tons. Several furnaces, especially those producing , foundry iron, havo stopped production for this month. Re duced southern freights here have not altered the market materially and at Chicago also the local prices have been reduced. The demand for finished products is below the capacity of works in operation and the award of the con tract for the Montreal bridge, which is said to be at 90 cents for 'beams against $1.55 demanded from consumers in this country, has occasioned "trouble in the beam' association apid- there are re ports that it has dissolved. Nothing now can be said of the cot ton manufacture, which still lacks de mand enough to lift print cloths aboye the lowest point ever known, and prices of other grades of cotton do not improve. In general the sales of cot ton products are but moderate. Woolen goods are 'doing better than for weeks past, and yet there is not enough de mand to create enthusiasm or to ralso prices, while there is great uncertainty regarding the future of the market. (Failures for the week were 264 in the United States, against 224 last year and 31 in Canada, against 33 last year. Trashy Medicines. Many such flood the market.

D., Atlanta, Ga. DEMOCRATS DIFFER Ai to she Course Their Senators Should Pursue Toward the Pending Tariff Bill In the Senate. Washington, May 14. There is some dif ference of opinion among the democratic members of the senate committee on finance as to the policy to be pursued in regard to the tariff bill. Some of them, notably Senator 'Gorman, are of tha opinion that the democrats should pro pose a substitute bill and introduce it. They suggest that this substitute should embody the democratic idea .3 to the tariff, giving uniformly lower rates than the republican bill, either as proposed lii the house or as amended by the senate committee on finance. They contend that the Wilson law is not a clear-embodiment of the democratic tariff doctrine, in that It not only does not produce sufficient revenue, but that it carries many features which were inserted at the Instance of republican senators In order to secure its passage through the senate.- ' There is, however, quite pronounced op position to this programme on the part of many democratic senators, including several members of the committee on finance. They take the position that the safest course for the party Is to stand by the Wilson bill, wwhlch, while it is not per fect, is still a democratic measure. The party, they say, has taken the position that no tariff legislation Is necessary. The campaign was fought on another Issue and they hold that to raise the tariff question on their own motions would be Inconsistent and unwise. Those who hold to this idea are willing that amendments should be offered covering all the sched ules, and It seems probable that this course will be pursued. The amendment will "provide rates practically on the line of the Wilson law. limils . ig&atura OASTOniA. ilmilt li es tTtry signatore tf VTappO, Mr, F. A.

The measure of freedom enjoyed by the press In this country is sometimes criticised by mugwumps, who would like to see vested interests as well as Individuals protected from the truth as they are in England by the antlqua'ted libel law. But when to harsh laws are United repressive measures of taxation, the result is disastrous to general intel ligence. In Austria there are only 111 daily and 575 weekly Journals, because every paper circulated must bear a half -cent stamp, and no paper can be sold on the streets or in the cafes, res taurants, or other places of resort. The direct result Is gross ignorance of the lower classes in regard to politics, as well as all special and economic ques tions. San FYancisco Chronicle. ' It -will be remembered that many democratic papers assailed . Chairman Dingley for framing a bill which he said would bring from O.OOO.OOO to $100,000,000 increase in revenue, , when the deficit in revenue is only about $25, 000,000. The action of the senate re publicans in adding distinctively rev enue taxes which will bring in twenty million more revenue than Chairman Dingley provided for, can only be ac counted for by the fact that the skilled tariff men in the senate reject the es timates of Chairman Dingley, - and agree with the democratic position that a strictly protective tariff shuts out imports and does not increase reve nues. This tax of 10 cents a pound on tea, which will amount to nearly a 100 per cent on the cheaper teas, Is not only a revenue tax, but it smashes that cam paign cry of "a free, breakfast table" with which the O. O.I P. speakers used to humbug the workingmen. Augusta Chronicle. i .

To Mr. Carlisle belongs the credit of lend ing active and needful aid while secre tary of the treasury in relieving the financial distress of the government by peddling at the behest of Cleveland about $200,000,000 of gold bonds to the Morgan-Rothschilds syndicate. In this connection it is remembered that the New York Journal editorially called at tention some time ago to the fact that Mr. Carlisle had entered the employ of J.

Kansas City Journal. Washington dispatches of late have contained frequent references to In creasing interest in the creation of a special tariff commission. Two or three bills have been framed, and at least two have already been introduced in the house of representatives. One of these, offered last Monday 'by Repre sentative Fowler, of New Jersey, is a fair example of the prevailing ideas upon, the subject. In brief, it pro vides for a special commission to In vestigate the subject of federal taxa tion, to recommend changes, and to ad just inequalities in the present law. The commission is to consist of seven members, at a salary of $7,000 per an num, having a term of office each of twenty-one years, and the commission is to make annual reports to the presi dent.

""Our'Raleigh letter today states that Treasurer Worth has concluded to let the supreme court pass on the question whether the tax of $50 imposed by the last legislature on North Carolina drummers is legal. Treasurer Worth re cently decided, Just off-hand, that the tax was not legal that it was void. The Citizen called attention to Mr. Worth's faulty reasoning, and suggest ed that he had not been given the pow er to veto acts of the legislature. On reflection, the treasurer agrees with us, and has made up a friendly suit to test the law. This is a becoming back down, and now we hope the supreme court will declare the law bad. It is certainly unjust, in that it imposes a tax on North Carolina drummers, but not on' foreign drummers soliciting business in this state.
