An Open Letter to Mothers. We are asserting in the courts our right to the exclusive use of the word "CASTORIA," and "PITCHER'S CASTORIA." as our Trade Mark. I, Dr. Samuel Pitcher, of Hyannis, Massachusetts, was the originator of "Pitcher's Castoria," the same that has borne and does now bear the facsimile signature of Chas. H. Fletcher on every wrapper. This is the original "Pitcher's Castoria," which has been used in the homes of the mothers of America for over thirty years. Look carefully at the wrapper and see that it is the kind you have always bought, and has the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher on the wrapper. No one has authority from me to use my name except The Centaur Company of which Chas. H. Fletcher is President. March 8, 1897. SAMUEL PITCHER, M.D. Young Wifely Repartee.

The woman he loved while he dreamed of her Danced on till the stars grew dim; But alone with her heart, from the world apart, Sat the woman who loved him. The woman he worshiped only smiled When he poured out his passionate love; While the other somewhere kissed her treasure most rare, A book he had touched with his glove. The woman he loved betrayed his trust. And he wore the scars through his life. And he cared not nor knew that the other was true: But no man called her wife. The woman he loved trod festal halls While they sang his funeral hymn. But the sad bells tollled ere the year was old O'er the woman who loved him. RAILWAY TIME TABLE.

In the House of Representatives at Washington on Tuesday of last week, in the five-minute speeches devoted to the discussion of the bill appropriating $50,000,000 for "national defense," many an eloquent speech was delivered. The occasion was one memorable in the annals of the country, and the passage of the bill unanimously was an act unprecedented in the history of the Government. The scene was one of intense enthusiasm, and one never to be forgotten. Among the eloquent addresses made that of Congressman Bailey of Texas, the Democratic leader, is especially worthy of remark. Bailey supported the bill in a five-minute speech. He said: "This is an extraordinary power with which to clothe the President. It is a power which, in the ordinary times, I would not commit to any man, however exalted his station or however high his character. But, sir, these are not ordinary times, and the rules of safety and of prudence which govern us in the days of peace will yield before the great emergency which now confronts the Nation. It ought to be understood in Spain and it ought to be understood in every country on the globe that while this great republic sincerely desires to be at peace, it is prepared for war, if war becomes inevitable. (Loud applause.)" "I hope the crisis may be reached and passed without a conflict of arms; but I confess that my judgment and hope are at variance in this respect. I fear that we have gone too far to escape the worst, and, while I believe that we have gone further than would have been necessary if at the proper time we had granted the prayer of the Cuban patriots and had simply recognized their right to fight for the independence of their country (loud applause) yet the time for that discussion has passed. We must deal with this situation is so serious that the Treasury has made it the subject of a communication to Congress regarding the propriety of adopting a new device for the coin. It is estimated that there are fully two million dollars' worth of spurious coin in circulation in the country. All that have been found bear the mark of the New Orleans mint, a lower case 'o' under the eagle and are dated 1888. The government is making every effort to detect the men engaged in this business, so far without success though it is believed they are made somewhere in the South. Spiegel Grove, at Fremont, O., the home of the late President Hayes, is to be sold to satisfy a judgment. The sale is advertised to take place April 11 to satisfy a judgment of $5000 for damages for injuries sustained by Miss Adde Smith, in a runaway caused by the Hayes family dog. There is but one member of the family, Rutherford, who is in business at the place, and makes his headquarters at the old manSION. The other children seldom go there. The last gathering of the Hayes family in their home took place January, 1892, the occasion being the funeral of the former President. At that time five of the children were together. The old house stands in the center of a grove of trees barely within the city limits. There are several acres around the house. The property was an inheritance that fell to the former President from his uncle, Sardis Burchard, a pioneer of Sandusky county. According to advices received by the State and Navy departments from their agents abroad, Spain has not succeeded in purchasing a single warship built or building in any European country. The Administration regards this information as thoroughly trustworthy, and after its worry over reports from London, Paris and elsewhere where that the Spanish Government had arranged for securing options on a number of armor-clads at European shipyards, it is correspondingly happy Furthermore, diplomatic officers of the United States who have been endeavoring to ascertain from the most reliable sources whether there is an truth in the persistent rumors... in every country on the globe that while this great republic sincerely desires to be at peace, it is prepared for war, if war becomes inevitable. (Loud applause.) "I hope the crisis may be reached and passed without a conflict of arms; but I confess that my judgment and hope are at variance in this respect. I fear that we have gone too far to escape the worst, and, while I believe that we have gone further than would have been necessary if at the proper time we had granted the prayer of the Cuban patriots and had simply recognized their right to fight for the independence of their country (loud applause) yet the time for that discussion has passed. We must deal with this question as it is, not as we would have it to be; and approaching it in this broader spirit, we stand ready to say to those who administer the Government that whatever may be needed for the national honor and the national defense we are ready to give, and give ungrudgingly. (Applause.) "I hope wise counsels will prevail, and that if war shall come, it will come upon a great and sufficient cause. I have no sympathy with those rash and intemperate spirits who would provoke war simply for the sake of fighting; and yet I would rather follow them and suffer all the miseries and misfortunes their heedlessness would bring than to follow these other contemptible, mercenary creatures who are crying out for 'Peace at any price.' (Great applause.) "Peace is desirable, but not so desirable that it be purchased at the sacrifice of national honor. Let us in this way adopt the motto of our fathers in the elder and better days of this Republic, and let us say to all the world now as then: 'We are ready to spend millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute.' (Applause.) And let us add another, nobler motto: 'We are for peace as long as it can be maintained with honor, but we are for war if war is necessary to defend our flag or protect the rights of American citizens anywhere throughout the world.' (Applause.) "This war, if war it be, will have another compensation. It will forever efface from the memory of our countrymen those dreadful times of civil strife, and the men whose courage made the first Manassas one of the world's historic battlefields, will join with those who immortalized Gettysburg, and together they will consecrate a new battlefield combining the glories of both." (Great applause.) Now is the Time. To purify your blood with Hood's Sarsaparilla. March, April, May are the tryning months of the year. At this season your blood is filled with impurities which have accumulated during the winter, and these impurities must be immediately expelled. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the One True Blood Purifier. It is the medicine which has accomplished many thousands of remarkable cures of all blood diseases. It is what the millions take in spring to build up health and ward off sickness. BUENA PARK. Miss Cora Champlin of Chicago is visiting her sister, Mrs. J. Harry Whitaker. Mrs. J. H. Spangler and Miss Lulu Spangler of Corvallis, Oregon, have returned from their trip to San Diego and will remain some weeks with Mrs Jos Speidel, a sister of Mrs Spangler. Rev. Mr. Morgan gave a stirring sermon Sunday evening on the "Sabbath Day Observances." Four united with the church at communion Sunday The citrus fruit growers and shippers met at the Chamber of Commerce in Los Angeles last week, the object being to procure lower freight rates on citrus fruits. E.W. Holmes of Riverside was elected chairman and R.H. Young of San Diego secretary. Mr. Young was the first speaker. He said that the industry of citrus fruit growing in Southern California was on the decline. There were 2000 or 3000 carloads more of fruit in the country than would be removed unless the railroads came to the relief of the growers. A.P. Griffith read a recent market report of the sale of California oranges, and said if better prices could not be procured it would be better to destroy the orchards. N.W. Blanchard of Santa Paula, B.W. Wall of Tustin and H.W. Keene of San Diego also spoke on the subject. The final result of the discussion was the appointment of a committee of seven with Mr. Packard of Pomona as chairman, to bring the matter to the attention of the transportation companies, and to ask for such reduction as in their judgment seemed advisable. The committee is as follows, in addition to the chairman: A.B. Ruggles, San Bernardino; A.P.Griffith, Azusa; E.F.C.Klokle, Orange; N.W.Blanchard, Santa Paula; R.H.Young, San Diego; and A.P.Johnson,Riverside Everything is stir and bustle at the Mare Island navy yard. Hundreds of workmen are being added to the usual force to rush the work of preparing the Charleston, Philadelphia, Hartford, Pensacola and Adams for service. The Yorktown is awaiting repairs, but no orders have been received from the Navy Department regarding the work to be done on her. The Charleston and Philadelphia have been ordered completed at once, and it is chiefly on their account that so many extra employees have been added to the pay roll, though the other departments of the yard are also swelling their working lists. Thursday the construction department sent in requisitions for 150 extra men, and to-day asked for 200 more. The regular work of the yard is proceeding as usual, but night and day shifts will be employed on the Charleston and Philadelphia. The yard is amplified to turn out fast work, new machinery having just been put in, and more is under course of construction, which, when complete, will double the capacity of the shops. A monster boring and turning mill is nearing completion, and a hydraulic riveting machine will soon be in operation. The only trouble likely to be experienced in case of emergency is that of securing a sufficient force of workmen. The work originally planned to be done on the Philadelphia would require six months, but under the present urgent call only absolutely necessary work will be performed, and the vessel will be ready for sea in about four weeks. The Charleston will be partially tested this week. It is reported that James G. Blaine, son of the late James G. Blaine, is engaged to be married to Miss Kuhne Beveridge, who has achieved a reputation as a sculptor and is now in Paris with her mother. Rumor has it that Sutro's contract wife and claiming to possess the strongest of evidence to back up her claim. Recently she visited one of the ex-mayor's attorneys and told him the story of her alleged relations with Sutro, which she said existed for some years. She announced her intention of standing up for her interests, but said that she did not want to harass Sutro or to make trouble for the heirs if it could be avoided. Klug is a handsome woman of 30, who lives in elegant style. She has two children whom she declares to be by Sutro.

Miss Cora Champlin of Chicago is visiting her sister, Mrs. J. Harry Whitaker. Mrs. J. H. Spangler and Miss Lulu Spangler of Corvallis, Oregon, have returned from their trip to San Diego and will remain some weeks with Mrs. Jos. Speidel, a sister of Mrs. Spangler. Rev. Mr. Morgan gave a stirring sermon Sunday evening on the "Sabbath Day Observances." Four united with the church at communion Sunday morning. The Wednesday evening meetings are the cream of the church services. Thursday evening there is to be a dime social at Mr. Andrew Whitaker's. A cordial invitation is extended to all. One of the features of the program is the representing of books. Refreshments will be served. The proceeds are for the new parsonage. Friday afternoon the L. M. A. S. will meet with Mrs. Chapman at Almond. This will be the last meeting before the annual meeting, two weeks later. Mrs. Dick Sailor and family have moved into their new home on Ninth street. Mr. and Mrs John Robertson welcomed to their home a lovely baby girl on Washington's birthday. Mrs. Morgan returned from her visit to Los Angeles Wednesday. John Meteer, editor of the Richfield (Utah) Advocate, was thrashed in the streets of that town by Mrs. Anna Thurber, who struck him a blow on the cheek with her clinched fist and followed it with a perfect fusillade of slaps and punches until Metereer broke loose and escaped. Metereer says he will have her arrested. The woman is said to be the plural wife of Joseph Thurber, one of Richfield's most prominent citizens. She took exception to the publication in the Advocate of a bursesque petition to the city council, in which an ordinance against polygamy was to be asked for. This burlesque ordinance intimated that residences of polygamous wives were disreputable resorts. During the past two weeks the attention of the business men of Denver has been attracted to the unusually large number of counterfeit silver dollars made of silver that are in circulation. The counterfeits are such remarkably close imitations of the genuine coin that it is almost impossible to detect them, and even government experts are frequently at a loss to choose between the false and the true. It is thought that there are a vast number of them in circulation, passing frequently from hand to hand without question. At the mint it is stated the completion, and a hydraulic riveting machine will soon be in operation. The only trouble likely to be experienced in case of emergency is that of securing a sufficient force of workmen. The work originally planned to be done on the Philadelphia would require six months, but under the present urgent call only absolutely necessary work will be performed, and the vessel will be ready for sea in about four weeks. The Charleston will be partially tested this week. It is reported that James G. Blaine, son of the late James G. Blaine, is engaged to be married to Miss Kuhne Beveridge, who has achieved a reputation as a sculptor and is now in Paris with her mother. Rumor has it that the wedding will take place upon Miss Beveridge's return to this country next month. Mr. Blaine who is employed as a reporter on one the New York newspapers excused himself from discussing the report. Blaine was married some years ago to Miss Marie Nevins, who was granted a divorce by Judge Thomas of Deadwood, S. D., in 1889 and awarded the custody of their son. She afterwards married Dr. W. T. Bull of New York. Miss Kuhne Beveridge is the daughter of P.J. Beveridge and a granddaughter of former Governor Beveridge of Illinois. She first became known to the public as a sculptor when in 1892 she modeled the bust of former President Cleveland and of Joseph Jefferson the actor. Her marriage, October 25, 1894, at midnight in Indianapolis, to Charles Coghlan caused much talk. A year later Miss Beveridge secured a divorce from the actor and resumed her maiden name. Hoping for the best and prepared for the worst about represents the situation in the War and Navy Department at Washington. The officials still possess confidence that there is to be peaceful outcome of the present three ening difficulties with Spain, but meanwhile prepare with serenity to meet their duties if events do share themselves otherwise. The most important and significant development of the week have been the decision to the House Naval Committee to plan in the Naval Appropriation Bill a provision for three new battleships, and conclusion on the part of the Secretary of War to issue an order creating new military department, including within its confines that part of the country which would be in all likehood nearest the field of hostilities; case it should come to that. The order will cause a commotion in the South. The present department of Texas abolished, and the headquarters, which have been at San Antonio, Tex., for many years are abandoned. In place of the old department is created a new one, the Department of South Gen. Graham, at present the commander of the Department of Texas, who command the new department. The department will include the States: South Carolina, Georgia, Florida Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. All of these States save that last are at present attached to the Department of East, under control of Gen. Merritt of New York. It is said at the department that Gen.Merritt is fully compensated for the strength of the command which passes away from him by the addition to two forces of the two regiments of artillery now recruiting. Headquarters the new Department of the South will be at Atlanta, chosen because of its fine strategical view and from its cellent railroad connections. At present the government has no accommodations in Atlanta for the headquarters; the department, so it will be obliged hire the most available buildings. Gen.W.S.Rosecrans died at home near Redondo on Friday morning. Gen.Rosecrans was born Kingston. Ohio, September 6, 1819, graduated at West Point in 1842. Left the regular army in 1854, but enlisted as a volunteer when the war broke out. He was rapidly advanced, and July, 1861, was appointed commander of the department of Ohio.

A trainload of eighteen cars of sheep from Hanford to Stockton were a week or so ago transferred to the steamer T. C. Walker to be landed in new pastures along the river below Stockton. Agents of some of the big stock men have been in the vicinity for several days securing pasture land, as the feed in the upper end of the valley is getting short. A large portion of the stock of the valley will have to be taken to pastures near Stockton or starve for want of food, unless rains come soon to start the grass. The canal of the Stanislaus and San Joaquin irrigation company, in the southeastern part of San Joaquin county, is dry. This is the first time since the canal was built that there was any demand for the irrigation of grain. Now that irrigation must be resorted to in the wheat fields, no water is obtainable. The Stanislaus river, from the headwaters, from which the supply for the canal is obtained, is running very low, and there is hardly enough water to supply the Knight's Ferry region, which has the first call on the ditch. Elijah Ballard, a San Jose orchardist, was frightfully injured by the explosion of the boiler of a traction engine in the orchard of a neighboring farmer. The cause is not known, but at the time it occurred Ballard, who was the engineer, was standing on the boiler tightening the bolts of a packing box. The explosion scattered the fragments of the boiler for 800 feet around. Ballard was carried thirty feet with the main portion. His right arm was terribly shattered, his lower limbs were completely paralyzed, and he sustained serious internal injuries. His death is hourly expected. The information against C. M. Holmes, superintendent of the Santa Ana gas and electric company, charging him with assault with a deadly weapon on C. H. Calmar, a former employee, was set aside by Judge Ballard. Baird returned to Madera, where he has opened an office and seems amply supplied with funds. He was manager of the John Brown colony of Madera as well as of the Madera Bank, the collapse of the latter involving the practical destruction of the former. In the vault of the Madera Bank were scores of promissory notes bearing the names of men of prominence in all parts of the San Joaquin Valley, the signatures to many of the notes being torgeries. Baird admitted one forgery, and this confession led to an admission of an elaborate scheme of forgery and deception. He was sent to prison for seven years, but now that he is paroled he is merely required to report to the prison authorities at regular intervals. The anxiety at Madrid as to the relations between Spain and the United States which has pervaded financial and commercial circles for several days, has culminated in a heavy fall in funds, and foreign exchanges have risen in an unprecedented degree, the prices on Paris being at 3 per cent premium and on London at 4 per cent premium. All the newspapers call upon the government to stop the panic by a clear statement as to the real conditions existing in Cuba and also defining the international relations. The newspapers re-echo the profound sensation and displeasure caused by the United States sending the Montgomery to Havana and by the appropriation of $50,000,000 for the national defense. On the other hand it is said in official circles, and it is announced by the papers, that while nothing fresh has occurred in Cuba or in the relations between Spain and the United States to justify alarm, Senor Castillo, the Spanish ambassador at Paris, has "brought favorable impressions of the disposition of the European press and governments toward Spain." W. H. Weeks of San Francisco was stabbed and seriously wounded by his brother-in-law, W. P. Rogers of Grass Valley, on the Central overland train at Port Costa one evening last week, while the men were returning from the funeral of Mrs. Weeks, who died in San Francisco and was taken to Nevada county for interment.

Lines from Kansas, Nebraska, and the Southwest show that are organizing companies to front in the event of war be United States and Spain. In several companies have been laid and are drilling, while on Panhandle four companies men organized and others are set together. The same is true of states west of Missouri, where it is that cowboys say they will their own horses and arms and want is the government to support with ammunition. They are for a fight, and every one of the dead shots and expert horse-riding spent years of their lives range. A company organized in’s Land, Oklahoma, has sent General Miles stating that they be considered part of the reguiry and want to go to the front first. It is estimated that 1,000 have organized on the Western Northwestern ranges. Telegram from Minister Woods been laid before the cabinet President, which declares that was exhausted every means of money for the prosecution of a about success. All the financial of Europe have rejected heres. Gen. Woodford pronounces her impossibility for Spain to bounds with which to engage in ties against the United States. Hence to the political conditions impelled the ministry to suggest all of Gen. Lee, Minister Woods that Sagasta is friendly to the States and will make every possession to preserve peace. The danger lies with the people. Hostile majority now in the land and the probability that this continued at the forthcoming crisis, the overthrow of the Sagasta is not unlikely.

Holmes, superintendent of the Santa Ana gas and electric company, charging him with assault with a deadly weapon on C. H. Calmar, a former employee, was set aside by Judge Ballard in the Superior Court at Santa Ana on Friday and Holmes was released from custody. In the commitment of the justice before whom the preliminary examination was held Holmes was charged with committing an assault on "Chalmers," instead of Calmar, a mistake being made in the name. The defense therefore moved to have the case set aside, which was done. District Attorney West asked the court to make finding directing the district attorney to file a new information, but the judge refused. A counterfeiting plant has been discovered within the walls of the State prison at Folsom. The work was done in the engine room by Convicts H. L. Coyne and James Brown, and so far as known only nickles were coined; presumably no precious metal could be obtained. The men were discovered in the act of manufacturing bogus coins by guards, who had been told what was going on. When the officers rushed in Coyne and Brown leaped through a window and threw their dies and crucible into a canal leading to the American river. A large number of well-executed five-cent pieces were found. They were made of Babbitt metal taken from the engines which run through the prison grounds for the purpose of hauling rock from the quarries. It is thought that the dies or moulds were not made by the men who coined the money, but by some of the expert counterfeiters in the prison. The impression prevails among the officers that it was the purpose of the convicts to coin a great quantity of nickles and ship them out on freight cars, where their friends on the outside could receive them in exchange for opium. Several of the bogus coins have been found in circulation in the town of Folsom. Wing Tung, a Chinese murderer, was hanged at San Quentin on Friday morning at 10:30 o'clock for the killing of his uncle, Yu Lick Chung, at the Globe hotel in San Francisco last September. He met his death with the characteristic stoicism of his race, and appeared to be utterly indifferent during the final preparations for his execution. The murderer was pronounced dead ten and a half minutes after the drop fell. He was a resident of San Francisco. He was an intelligent Chinese and soon learned to speak and read English with ease. For many years he seemed peacefully inclined, but last year he became involved in a quarrel with his uncle, Yu Lick Chung, over which he brooded morosely for some weeks, finally, having apparently made up his mind with all deliberation, he went to his uncle's room in the old Globe Hotel building on the second of September, and shot his relative dead. His only explanation was that his uncle deserved to die because he had talked too much. Wing Tung was promptly tried and convicted, and his case is remarkable in that it is the first time, since the carrying out of sentences at San Quentin has been the rule, that a condemned murderer has gone to jail in other circles, and it is announced by the papers, that while nothing fresh has occurred in Cuba or in the relations between Spain and the United States to justify alarm, Senor Castillo, the Spanish ambassador at Paris, has "brought favorable impressions of the disposition of the European press and governments toward Spain." W. H. Weeks of San Francisco was stabbed and seriously wounded by his brother-in-law, W. P. Rogers of Grass Valley, on the Central overland train at Port Costa one evening last week, while the men were returning from the funeral of Mrs. Weeks, who died in San Francisco and was taken to Nevada county for interment. Rogers was accompanied by his little girl, and was under the influence of liquor and in a quarrelsome mood. At Sacramento he flourished a revolver, which was taken from him. When the train reached Port Costa he startled the other occupants of the Pullman by suddenly drawing a knife and slashing Weeks who is 70 years old, across the face, cutting entirely through the left cheek and making an ugly gash just above the temporal artery. Dr. Perry of the United States marine hospital service, who was on the train, sewed up the wounds. Though Weeks lost much blood, he will recover. Rogers was turned over to the authorities at Oakland. Sir Julian Pauncofote, the British ambassador at Washington, has informed the Canadian ministry officially that he has arranged a convention with the United States, whereby the Alaskan boundary dispute has been settled. Under the terms of the convention the British government has conceded claim of the United States that the three marine leagues should be measured from the shore of the mainland, and should proceed along the shores of the inlets, which are thus recognized as arms of the ocean and not of rivers. The contention of the British and of Canadian governments was that three league limit should begin on the ocean side of the islands and that delimiting line should be run across the inlets and not to follow the shores. These inlets are numerous and extend to the mainland a great distance, and the decision, therefore, is of much importance to the United States.

Rosecrans was born at Ohio, September 6, 1819, and lived at West Point in 1842. He was regular army in 1854, but enlista volunteer when the war broke. He was rapidly advanced, and in 1861, was appointed commander of the department of Ohio. He was ward commander of the army of Mississippi, of the army of the Gerland and of the department of Arri, where he repelled Price's. In 1888-9 he was minister to Oro, and in 1881-2 was a member of Senator Proctor and Col. Parker give a graphic and amusing description of a skirmish between a company of Spanish cavalry and a handful of insurgents, which took place while they were on a train near Matanzas, and which was undoubtedly prepared for their special benefit. Before reaching the station they noticed that the telegraph wires had been cut and some slight obstruction placed on the track to impede their progress. On a hill in the distance they could see silhouettes of a dozen Cuban insurgents outlined against the sky. In the valley the Spanish cavalry had started toward them, but they were brought to a sudden halt by the bullets of the enemy. The distance was too great to hear the shots, but the smoke from the Cuban's rifles gave warning of what was taking place. The Spaniards halted and formed a hollow square, while the officers sought safety behind some convenient trees. Meanwhile the insurgents called for a truce and withdrew into a dense woods, and the Spaniards returned to the station in time to meet the train and receive the congratulations of the commander of the district. All this by-play struck Senator Proctor as most amusing wartacics. An old Confederate veteran who accompanied the party asked the Spanish officer in command why he had not given chase to the insurgents, as there were no more than a dozen of them. His reply was characteristic—that there were more than a thousand behind the hills. Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury.
