A LITTLE SUFFERER
Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How a Curo
Was Effected.
"When live years old my llttlo boy had
crofuln on his face, linndH nnd arms. It
wbh worst on his chin, although thoHorcs
on IiIh checks nnd hnnds wero very bnd.
It appeared In the form of red pimples
which would fester, break open nnd run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense Itching and tho little miffcrcr had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. Wo becamo
greatly alarmed nt his condition. My
wife's' mother hnd had scrofula nnd tho
only medicine which hnd helpd her was
Hood'HSnrsnpnrllln. We decided to glvo
it to our boy nnd we noted an improve
ment In his case very soon. After giving
him four bolt let of Hood's Hnrsnpnrilla
the humor had all been driven out of Ills
blood and it has never since returned."

PARASOLS!
WASHINGTON NOTES.
Washington, April M, 1898.
There has been no occasion for any
body to find fault witli the rapidity
with which impoitaut 1 vents have fol
lowed each other during the past week.
The signing by tlie president of tlm
armed intervention resolution; the ul
timatum to Spain; tlie breaking up of
diplomatic relations with us by Spain;
the proclamation declaring to tlie na
tions of tlm world the intention of the
United States to blockade Havana and
Cuban ports; the actual establishing of
that blockade-, the capture of Spanish
merchant vessels bj ships of the block
ading iipiadron; the proclamation call
ing lor 125,000 men to serve two years,
unless sooner discharged. That is tlie
week's record of the most important
ucts of the executive branch of the
government.
Tim lighting is not liable to be as
speedy in arriving as the events which
immediately precede the opening of
the war. So far as kiionn tlie bulk of
tlm Spanish navy is oil the otlar. side
of the Atlantic, witli the intention of
remaining there and devoting its at
tention to hunting for stray American
merchant vessels which can bo taken
without lighting. There are numerous
reports about tli. ir coming over here
to light, but 011 naval o Ulcers do not
believe them, although they would be
more than g'ad 0 have them do so.
Our navy will not attack the forts of
the Cuban ports in its blockading, un
less it is lir.sl attacked by the forts; at
least, not for a while. Tlie present ob
ject is tu make the blockade thorough
ly effective and to capture and destroy
all the Spani-h ships that can be
found. In addition to tliit.u small
force will probably lie landed at some
port that is accessible to the ill' urgent
army in order that it inty be furnished
t'.ie supplies and amr.iuiii'ioii it needs
ti enable it to assume the aggressive
tow uid.s the Sp niish army. Food will
ul-o be lauded fur tree distribution to
the needy. While tin.- is going on in
Cuba and Cuban waters tue volunteer
army will be go. ten together in camps
of instruction ami prepared at tlie cat
licst moment to proceed to Cuba ami
drive the Spanish army off tlm island.
This will take time. So it is just as
well not to expect much news of light
ing, unless thu Spanish forts seek an
engagement with tho blockading
quadron, or our Asiatic squadron
tiuds tlm Spanish squadrnn;it is hunt
ing for, for soveral weeks to come.
Tim ways and means committee of
tho house, upon which devolved tlm
duty of preparing the bill to provide
money to pay thu oxponses of the war,
has performed that duty and reported
tlm bill to tlm house. Tlm bill by tlm
imposition of now internal revenue
taxes and an increase of tlm taxes on
beer and manufactured tobacco, pro.
viiles for an estimated increaso of $100-
000,000 in this country's revenues. It
also provides for tlm issue of f'500,000,.
000 in H per cent coin bonds, to run
from ten to twenty years, at tho op
tion of the government, and author
izes ilit) issue of $100,000,000 in three
per cunt certillcatcs of indebtedness b
the tieasury. Tho expectation is that
the bill will l)u passed this week, us
the disposition of congress is to push
cvi-ij thing conuicted with the con
diKliif the war through without pro
louued discussion, recognizing tlm
11101 al effect upon the world of speedy
and united action by congress upon
war ineusuros.
Congress has uot been idle during
the week. It ban passed thu bill aa-
