CURED BY CJTICURA
I was afflicted with a terrible breaking out.
I was treated by the very best physicians, who
pronounced it blood poison, but it got worse.
_ I was suffering untold agony, and finally had
to give up work. CUTICURA REMEDIES were
. suggested, which I immediately procured.
' ram the first, I experienced a soothing relicfl
notwithstanding my intense pain. I improved
right along till at last I was entirely cured, and
not a sign on my belly anywhere indicating that
anything had ever been the matter with me.

Brief Joint Session of Commission
:__ Without Results.
PAY FOBTHE PHILIPPINES
The Spanish Argument Pres uti-d and
6 Adjournment Taken Until Saturday.
A Statement from Madrid that the
Conferences Will Continue. '
Paris, Nov. 17,—The meeting yester-
day of the Spanish-American peace
commissions began at 2.15 p. m., and
ended at 3" p. m.
At the session the Spanish commis-
sioners presented a long document on
the Philippine question in answer to
the American argument, which was
submitted last week.
By mutual consent the memorandum
was handed to the Americans without
being read, and the meeting adjourned
until next Saturday.
The Spaniards, in their communica-
tion yesterday reaffirmed the position
which they have assumed against the
discussion here of Spain’s Philippine
sovereignty.
They insist that the words “shall de—
termine the control, disposition anti
government of the Philippines," in ar-
ticle _3 of the peace protocol, do not
warrant any reference to Spain’s with-
drawal from the Philippines, except on
her own terms, and, ‘therefore, the
Spaniards propose arbitration on the
construction to be placed on the words,
“the control, disposition and govern-
ment.” .
The Spanish communication was
translated last evening, and its con-
tents Will be discussed by the United
States commissioners 'to—day at their
usual daily session.
The Journal, referring to the peace
negotiations, says: “We think that the
extravagant exactions of the United
States have made discussion almost
impossible between that country and
Spain. Nothing but submission on the
part of Spain seems possible. As the
rumored intervention of the German
emperor is a myth, Spain should rec-
oncile herself to the inevitable and set
herself about preparing for future
struggles."
Madrid, Nov. 7.—The minister of
foreign affairs, Duke Almodovar do
Rio, has received dispatches from the
Spanish peace commissioners, now in
‘ Paris, indicating that yesterday” 3 mee-
ting of the joint commissions will not
be the last.
The commissioners have received ad-
' ‘ ~ditlonal instructions to defend Spain‘s
rights in the Philippine islands
The mnister of marine, Senor Aunon,
and the minister of foreign affairs have
conferred on the subject of Emperor
William's visit to Spain.
The newspapers discuss the Carlist
agitation, but express belief that the
followers of Don Carlos will not' issue
a revolutionary manifesto.
Pay for the Philippines.
‘Washingtor, Nov. 7.—-Up to this
point, the discussion at Paris having
touched on principles, there has been
no attempt to give exact figures in re-
lation to the amount of money that
might be paid to Spain by the United
States on account of the Philippines.
Such, for instance, was the statement
that the United States would reim-
burSe Spain “for the pacific expendit-
ures” made on account of the Philip-
pines, for no one here at the time had
an exact knowledge of what these ex-
penditures amounted to in the aggre-
gate.
This has been ascertained, however,
to the satie action, of the American
commissioners, at least, and they will
name the exact amount of money
which the United States is Willing to
pay over to. Spain on this account.
v’hat is proposed is a cash payment
to the Spanish government for the
United States does not propose to en—
ter into any relations whatever with
any of the holders of any of the bonds
issued by Spain, notwithstanding the
efforts of some of the European pow-
ers to bring this result about.
As to the amount which will be of-
fered to Spain, the officials here are
mute, but it is believed to lie some-
where betwesn twenty million and for-
ty million dollars.
Our commissioners 'do not look for
an unconditional rejection. of our offer
but. believe that there will be an at-
tempt on the part of the Spanish com--
missioners to secure a. liberal increase
of the amount named.
The Ameican commissioners are un—
der instructions to inform the Spanish
commissioners that there can be no
further delay in the final conclusion
of the work of—the commission, so that
it is expected that a. conclusion one
way or the other will be reached be-
fore long.
Stronghold Captured by Boers.
Pretoria, Nov. 7.—The Boer. forces,
after a heavy musketry and artillery
bombardment, have stormed and cap-
tured the mountain stronghold of Chief

ary and his family, and the Transvaal
government sent an eXpedition to pun-
ish ’the'n’atlves.
The latter attacked the Boers, but
were driven into the mountains.
Two Boers were killed during the
storming of the stronghold.

Washington, D. C., Nov. 17.-—Secre-
tary Alger left Washington at mid-

transports the government was ablig—
ed to employ during the war.

Paris. Nov. 17.—A commissary of

expected first comers would be served-
with as many as asked for.
Three of the speculators stood in
line from 4.30 in the morning and 0th"

which he says he relates himself,
whenever the occasion permits, With
the keenest relish of its humor.
It appears that some years ago Dr.
Mitchell was troubled with a nervous
ailment, induced, it was thought,, by
his unflagging energy in his two
lines of. work. His condition became
so serious that he went abroad, think;
ing'that a change of scene and a giv-
ing up of- his late. 8 might tend to
make a well man of him. . In Paris
he. sulfeied an attack of the old
trouble and deemed it well to call'up-
on a. certain specialist with whose
name ‘he was familiar, as being that
of a man famous on both continents.
He visited the physician purely as
_a patient and did not even give him
his name.
During the conversation preliminary
to the examination, the Parisian said:
“I see you are an American."
“Yes, ” answered Dr. Mitchell, “1 am
an American. "
“Which is your home city?” he was
asked, and replied “Philadelphia ”
.The French physician held up both
hands and exclaimed: “\Vzhat, a man
come to me here in Paris to be treat-
ed for a nervous ailment when his
own home is in Philadelphia, where
resides the most famous nerve special-
ist in the world!”

The Catcher caught.
A clergyman addressing those who
go to church to store about and then
complain that others stare at them,
lately said:
“When I was a boy we had a school-
master who had odd ways of catching
idle boys. Says he, one day: ‘Boys,
I must have closer attention to books;
the first one of you that sees another
boy idle I want. you to inform me and
I will attend to the case.’ ‘Ah,’
thought I to myself. ‘there’s Joe Sim-
mots, 'that I don't like; 1’11 watch him,
and if I see him look off his book I’ll
tell on him.’ It was not long before i
saw Joe look off his book, and immedi-
ately I informed the master. ‘IndeedI-
said be, ‘how did you know he was
idle?’ ‘I saw him,’ was the reply.
‘You did; and were your eyes on your
