BY FOR A SPORTINd ISLAND. An American Monte Carlo to Bo Etab llahed on Fighting Island. Michael C. McDonald is at tbe bead of a party of Chicago men who have re cently purchased Fighting island, eight' miles from Detroit and on Canadian soil, for the purpose of es tablishing there a regular Ameri can Monte Carlo. It is a gigantio scheme, with a capitalization of $2,000,000 be at, o. m'dosald. hind it. The is land, which ia eight miles long and has an area of 2,500 acres, was sold for be tween (1,500,000 and $2,000,000 by George Dobie of Detroit through R. O. Kinney, a real estate man of that city and Chicago. R. D. Curry of Chicago has represented McDonald and Charles E. Hyde, McDonald's secretary, the only two Chicago persons who so far appear in the deal. The scheme is to construct at once a race track on the island. Already there ia a hotel, the Palm Leaf, on the bland, with about 100 rooms. If ever a fight between Corbett and Fitasimmons ia arranged, an attempt will be made to have it decided on the island. It was there George F. Consi- dine of Detroit wanted to have the fight for which he 'recently secured Corbett's signature. The scheme, howeyer, goes even fur ther than this. Those who are backing McDonald intend chartering a line of boats to run tbem regularly between Chicago and Fighting island. The trip takes about 48 hours, and during that time, it is said, no chance will be lost to give the passengers an opportunity to wage their money. New York Herald. IUa Sew St; la of Paper Currency All Government Debta and Claims to Be Paid lu It early Pension of Sl.ooo For Each Citizen (Her 21 Years of Age. Some very remarkable bills are intro duced in congress, and none this session is more remarkable than one fired into the hopper by Mr. M. W. Howard of Alabama. Mr. Howard is tbe author of a book entitled "If Christ Came to Con gress," that made its appearance a few years ago, but it is not with that this story has to deal. One day recently Mr. Howard introduced a bill in the hoube j which is entitled "a bill to change the nature, improve the form and increase (be volume of the currency." Mr. Howard's bill starts in by dwect-j ing too secretary of the treasury to f- tire outstanding redeemable currencies of the United States as fast as they may be received back into tbe treasury with a new national onrreocy, which shall be receivable, for all publio revenues and a i full legal teuder at its face value for all debts payable within the limits of its maker, but not redeemable or exchange able in any other kind of money. Next Mr. Howard's bill provides that the money of account of the United States shall be mills, cents, dimes, dol lars, eagles, condors and talents, a con dor to be ten eagles, or $100, and the talent ten condors, or $1,000. All is to be paper. The mill is to be 5 inches by 8 inches and each denomination in creasing in value to be one-nair incu longer, so that the talent would bo about two inches longer than the.pres ent paper currency in circulation. There are to be ones, twos, threes and fives of each denomination. Then follow the usual provisions as to counterfeiting, circulation of any other currency and all that sort of thing, pun- Bubbles or Medals. Best sarsaparillas." When you think of it how contradic tory that term is. For there can be only one best in anything one best sarsaparilla, as there is one highest mountain, one longest river, one deepest ocean. And that best sarsaparilla is ? .... There's the rub ! You can measure mountain height and ocean depth, but how test sarsaparilla? You could if you were chemists. But then do you need to test it? The World's Fair Committee tested it, and thoroughly. They went behind the label on the bottle. What did this sarsaparilla test result in ? Every make of sarsaparilla shut out of the Fair, except Ayer's. So it was that Ayer's v;as the only sarsaparilla admitted to the World s Fair. The committee found it the best. They had no room for anything that was not the best. And as the best, Ayer's Sarsa parilla received the medal and awards due its merits. Remember the word "best" is a bubble any breath can blow; but there are pins to prick such bubbles. Those others are blowing more "best sarsaparilla" bubbles since the World's Fair pricked the old or.es. True, but Ayer's Sarsaparilla has the medal. The pin that scratches the medal proves it gold. The pin that pricks the bubble proves it wind. We point to medais, not bubbles, when we say : The best sarsaparilla is Ayer's. SOUTHERN RAILWAY. xs.

Thomas of Illinois, who has recently returned from Cuba, where he has been for several months, is now in Cleveland. In speaking of the war he said: "From the present indications the war in Cuba will coutiuue tor u long time to come. Tbe Spanish will never grant the Cubans their liberty as long as they can possibly help it. The Span ish are not only a proud but very patri otic people. They realize that 400 years ago tney were tne greatest and most powerful nation and ruled one-tenth of the land on the globe. A treaty between the Cubans and Spanish is absolutely out of tbe question. The hatred between them was strong before the war, and such terrible suffering as both sides have endured since the war began has inten sified the feeling. The talk of Cubans accepting home rule is simply ridicn Ions. Equally absurd is the idea of Spain granting CubJfhs home rule, as we Americans understand home rule. "The polioy of Cubans' is not to fight important battles. They justly say yel low fever is destroying the Spanish army fast enough. Their plan is to wear out Spain financially, and tbe Spanish nation is so weak financially that she finds it impossible to raise the necessary 36.000.000 annually to carry on the Cuban war and an additional $25,000, 000 each year to pay the interest on her great debt "The reports about awful suffering among Cuban women and children are to some extent correct. In the large cit fee the suffering is not so great as in the interior of Cuba. In some towns that I visited the suffering is beyond descrip tion, and the longer the war continues the areata) the suffering."

Nature, in order to preserve the race. euine mankind bv the instinctive preference for a mate who is physically sound and wholesome. If intellect alone were chiefly sought, the orTspring mieht be a generation of Solo mons for wisdom, but they would perish in mfancv for want of physical stamina. A weak or unhealthy woman is unhtteo to fulfil her part in perpetuating the race; she is unequal to the demands of mofherhood and wifehood, she is robbed of her natural womanly attractiveness. Many a woman is cheated of life's choicest gifts by a dyspeptic, bile-poisoned condi tion of the system, which shows itself in a Simply skin, sallow complexion, tainted reath, or thin, ungraceful form. The most perfect remedy for all the tnorti fying symptoms of mal-nutrition and im pure blood is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Through its remarkable effect upon the liver and .digestive organs it sweeps all imparities out of the circula tion and creates a fresh supply of new. rich, life-giving blood It gives clearness and bloom to the com- ilexion; sweetens the breath; rounds ont face and form, and invigorates the en tire constitution with vital energy. It restores the invincible beauty of whole omeness and womanly capacity. I was a complete wreck: appetite gone, nerv ous system impaired; could not sleep, and was so weak that I could not stand on my feet ten min utes." writes Miss Ella Bartley. of No. ttjfc South Grant -Avenue Columbus. Ohio : " I only weijehed 95 H pounds when I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's GoMen Medical Discovery. After I had taken a half battle t began to improve; I cou'd sleep soundly the whole night, and would awaken with an appetite for breakfast, which was a rare thing as I never had for two years back eaten a hearty breakfast. I now ha an excellent appetite, and my friends say they never saw me looking better or in better spirits since they knew me. I tell them It ia all due to Dr. Pierce's ' Discovery.' " In all cases of obstinate constipation, the " Discovery " should be supplemented with Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. fir M. w. how Attn. ishable by a flue not exceeding one tal ent and imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both, in the' discretion of the court. Now follow the most remarkable pro- ; visions 01 tins most remarKanie pm. The secretary of the treasury is directed ! to pay forthwith all the debts of the United States in this new currency, and all claims against the government when adjudicated by tne district court3 of the United States, when not overruled by the circuit and supreme courts, shall be paid forthwith, any act of limitation or restriction to the contrary notwithstanding. The secretary of the treasury is direct ed to distribute to the treasurer of each domestic public authority, snch as states, counties and municipalities, including the territories and District of Colum bia, $40 per capita per annum according to the next preceding national census, until otherwise ordered by congress, in order that the said domestic authorities may pay their debts and current ex penses without any local taxation. Now comes the most extraordinary of all the provisions of this bill. The sec retary of the treasury "is hereby au thorized and directed to pay a national dividend of one talent to eaeh citizen of the United States over a 1 years of age who claims it after tbe passage of the law authorizing its payment.

The valley of the Rhone has been quite noted for its goiter victims, al though I am happy to say that through tbe increased watchfulness of the au thorities there now is an abatement of the disease. Many different causes are assigned to the terrible affliction this enlargement of the glands of the throat, goiter, or "big neck," as it is some times called and even the best inf orm od are far from being unanimous as to its origin or prevention. The peasants themselves say it is brought on by the habitual use of snow and glacial water. The water is so cold it acts as a counter irritant, and so inflames the throat, but this explanation hardly holds, as the inhabitants of the upper regions are not so often afflicted as are the people in the lower valleys. The use of chemically impure water, especially hard water, ia given as a cause. The experiment has been made where the water of certain wells was used tc the exclusion of all other water. With in a short time goiter symptoms began to manifest themselves where none j had been before. Sometimes this dis ease is epidemic An instance was noted where in a garrison one out of ev ery 20 men became afflicted. Infants are seldom born with goiter, but after it once takes hold the progress of the disease is very rapid. I believe that it is rarely fatal, but because of this en largement of the glands and the conse quent disfigurement of the throat it ia most repulsive, and yet the natives are . so accustomed to seeing it that they do not seem to care. It probably is simply , a source of discomfort rather than mor tification. In fact, in some portions of France, Italy and Switzerland a goiter is b tbin to be prized and to be exhib ited, lor its possession exempts a man from military service. Young men have been known to resort to certain wells supposed to oonvey this poison to the blood that they might evade conscrip- , tion. When Savoy was annexed to France, vigorous measures were adopt ed to stamp out if possible this hateful disease. There was a heavy penalty for drinking the water of forbidden wells, and then the little children were treat ed in the hope of curing them. Lozen ges of iodine were administered, and out of 5,000 children 2,000 were cured, and more would have been helped had not the parents ignorantly opposed the giving of the remedies. The villages al so were cleaned and sanitary measures insisted upon For, aside from all other causes, it is quite agreed that goiter may be transmitted or be sporadic. Like diphtheria, it is a filth disease, and of ten has its origin in the negligent hab its of the villagers. These peasants re fuse to live elsewhere than in the old "dorfer" (villages), each morning going far away to the fields, but returning at night to their overcrowded homes, where men, women and children, cows, goats and donkeys dwell together fra ternally. Chicago Inter Ocean. CAVENDISH EXPEDITION. MANITOBA. Colonists In Sheepskins Whone Economy Ia Painful to the Canadian Neighbors. About a year' ago a colony of Ruthe nians, almost entirely without funds, arrived in Winnipeg for settlement in the new lands of western Manitoba. . There are now about 6,000 of .tbese people from east central Europe, in col onies of about 1,000 each, in Manitoba. They all have cattle and crops, food enough to last till next season, farm machinery, warm dwellings and barns. Tho immigrants are no longer penniless peasants, but landowners, and within a few years will be well to do. They are economical to a degree painful to the surrounding Canadians and appar ently live on nothing. Indeed it has been seriously debated this winter whether they have not actually been a loss to the country, they spend so little. Not only are they economical in pur chases, but they keep their farms in shape and house their machinery. While all over tbe province valuable machinery is left to rust and warp, not even a plow or a harrow will be seen out of cover on the Hutbxuian farms. These people dress in tanned sheep skin, the wool side in, and wear top boots and high wool caps. Tho women dress like the men except for the shape of the caps. A woman s greatest adorn ment is a string of coral beads about tbe neck. They all live in noorless houses of .a single room, in which the entira familv. does all its household business and 'in which the smaller do' mestio animals, such as chickens, pigs, nalves and the like, also reside. The houses are whitewashed inside and out and are but one story high. Several thousand addit: fal Ruthe- nians will locate in Manitoi... this year, coming direct from the old country. New York Sun. Enjoyment of tho Mayflower. A curious bill to restrict and. localize enjoyment of the mayflower, or trailing arbutus, a Plymouth comity plant ,of 6ome fame, has been introduced into the Massachusetts legislature. The bill pro vides that "no person, except, a citizen or real estate owner, shall gatlier or disturb the plant of the trailing arbutus or send the flower or plant from the town in which it grows under penalty of $30 fine or 20 days' imprisonment in the house of correction." The protec tion of the mayflower is not sought by the bill, for tho folks in the towm where it grows can pluck it to the ex tent of the crop. Evidently pot hunting outsiders have been invading Plymouth county in the mayflower season, carry iue off the flowers and selling tbem. But why should Plymouth county re pine? She should think of the pleasure which the exported arbutus gives to outsiders. Some of it even reaches New York, or used to reach it. Perhaps the Society of Mayflower Descendants ii trying to control the whole output. Even under the best conditions there can't be nearly enough mayflowers to give each descendant one.

A Cornell prof essor makes an interest ing annoiint't-nieiit about braiiis. The main portion of the human brain is com posed of the cerebrum,, aurl the portion anterior to it, devoted to smell, and known &n the olfactory bulbs, is some times treated as a lucre appendix to tbe cerebrum. But this professor, after comparing brains from all grades of lower animals, declares that the human brain is an anatomical monstrosity, and that, in a historical view of the brain, the portion devoted to thinking is more properly to be styled a mere appendix to the part devoted to smelling. In some creatures the jolfactory portion is much the lar gest part of the brain. Philadelphia Press. Kupeea' Transformed Into mi. .

The Cavendish expedition, which is about to leave London, is one of tbe most striking exaniples of how young and wealthy Englishmen with a fond ness for spurt and exploration combine the tastes with empire making. Henry Cavendish, a relative of the Duke of Devonshire, has already spent f300, 000 in preparation for tbe expedition. Al though nominally private, its aims are on the upper Nile, where the French are supposed to be operating, and are well known to high government officials. As a matter of fact, the route adopted was suggested by the chiefs of the intelli gence department of tbe war office, and tbe foreign office had tbe scheme under consideration for some weeks. The force which will' accompany Mr. Cavendish will be better equipped than any body of men which has ever enter ed Africa. It will take with it 350,000 rounds of. ammunition and a number of seven pounder maxim rapid fire guns. It will bt well provided against sur prises. Mr. Cavendish expects to reach the upper Nile in three or four months and may continue to Khartum after the dervishes have been beaten. Dr. Donaldson Smith, the American explorer, recently telegraphed to the Royal Geographical society from India announcing bis readiness to explore the upper Nile, but the society replied that the matter bad been settled by Mr. Cav endish going.
