ment Upon All ImportapbAfl‘airs.
London, March 29.—The conferences
which the Marquis of Salisbury had in
Paris Friday with «M. Hanotaux, . the
French minister for foreign afiairs, are re-
garded as most important not only with
reference to the eastern situation, but as
bearing upon the general relations between
Great Britain and Franco. It was noticed
that M. I-Ianotaux greeted Lord Salisbury
cordially when he arrived, but their part-
ing was even more cordial, indicating that
the conference was satisfactory to both
parties. What actually passed is not known,
but it is believed their conversation em-
braced all the important topics, eSpecia-lly
Madagascar and
Egypt. The Tunisian question, which
only lately was a serious contention be-
tween tho two countries, is now stated to
have assumed a. promising aspect.
The Figaro believes that Lord Salisbury
suggested that the island of Crete be occu-
Great Britain and the other France or
Russia.
Other French newspapers and the Brit-

ally significant as following the visits of

President Faure.

WHOSE Fill—LT IS IT?
A" Local Occurrence that
will Interest Many
Readers.
{1L1-
If when a foghorn warns the mariner
to shear off the coast, he still hugs the
shore and wrecks upon it, whose fault is
it? If the ted switch light is up and the
engine driver deliberately pulls ahead
and pitches into another train, blame
the driver. If a careless workman will,
in spite of warnings, try to find out how
many teeth a buzz saw has, and the saw
tries to find out how many fingers the
workman has, blame the workman—not
the saw. If a sick man knows that a
certain medicine is doing him good, and
he carelessly neglects to use it, blame
the man not the medicine. If Norwalk
people who nave kidney complaint and
backache will not take Doane’ s Kidney
Pills, when they are endorsed by scores
of citizens, blame the people, not the
endorsers.
Mrs
avenue, says “I was reading the papers
one evening, and came across an adver-
tisement ot cDoane’ s Kidney Pills, at the
time I was annoyed with a pain in the
small of my back and was thinking of
trying some preparation to see. if I could
get relief. Donne’s Kidney Pills seemed
to me to be above the average judging
from the cures they had made and I got
a box at Hale’s drugstore and took them.
They produced decided and satisfactory
results. I recommend them to my
friends ”
Doane‘ s Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers. Price 50 cents. Mailed by
Foster-Milburn Company, Buffalo, N. Y .,
Sole Agents for the U S. Remember the
name Doane’ s and take no other.
