Sir Samuel Baker is not among the
number of those who advocate the prac-
tical abandonment of the Mediterranean
and Suez canal as the best and most ad-
vautageous route to the East. In a re-
cent letter to the London Times be sets
forth at length his reasons for believing
that the interests of Great Britain lie in
the direction of maintaining her hold in
the Mediterranean. Ihe article is very
explicit and demonstrates at least to
the satisfaction of the writer that the
surrender of the Mediterranean route
would be national suicide.
The Times gives several columns of
its space to a dissertation by Col. Up-
son of the prohibition heresy. It is
sincerely to be regretted that Col. Up-
son could not have put himself on re-
cord during the campaign as such a
document as now presented would have
no small weight in strengthening the
feeble knees many of whom persisted in
declaring that Judge Upson secretly
favored prohibition. So strong was this
feeling that money was freely of-
fered in these streets that Col. Upson’s
voice would not be heard in Texas dur-
ing the campaign. The document pub-
lished in the Times while giving noth-
ing new on the subject is a fair st m-
mary of the whole anti-prohibition ar-
gument as presented during the cam-
paign.
What the upshot of the present bitch
in Bulgarian matters will amount to no
one knows. Bismark would throw Bul-
garia into the jaws of the Kusslan bear
without one moments hesitation did he
feel sure that by doing so he would not
antagonize Austria Italy England and
Turkey to such an extent as to make the
consequences disasterous to Germany.
He evidently fears a combination of
France and Russia and Is In doubt bow
far matters have been arranged between
these powers. While maintaining an
apparrently serene attitude and wait-
ing unmoved the issue Bismark is very
uneasy over the situation. The Bulga-
rian settlement is as far from being de-
Urmlned now as it was when Alexander
vacated his throne. Much depends up-
on the manner in which Ferdinand and
the Bulgarian people accept the situa-
tion. In the mean time great uncer-
tainty prevails all over Europe and the
war rumors and preparations ot which
so much was heard last season will be
resumed on the old scale.
The very latest information concern-
ing Colorow shows that neither In Colo-
rado nor at Washington is anything
known of bis whereabouts of his move-
ments of his intentions. The facts as
far as can be ascertained are that the
Utes were engaged in some thieving
operations bad a brush with sotue cow-
boys and in the melee Chipita the
widow of Chief Ouray was either Killed
or carried off by the cowboys. Since
then the sheriff has been endeavoring
to arrest the thieving Indiana but has
been unsuccessful and the loss of Chi-
pita seems to have determined Colorow
to make one more attempt to unite tbe
tribes in a general war against tbe
whites. In this be has not been suc-
cessful. Tbe few Indians who attempt-
ed to join Colorow were prevented by
tbe vigilance ot tbe sheriff and at latest
accounts those on tbe Ouray and Unitab
stations were at peace. There are prob-
ably from seventy-tive to one hundred
people with Colorow and all possible
precautions are being taken to prevent
a general uprising. Tbe general im-
pression among the army officers on the
ground is that Colorow would return to
tbe reservation if be could get there
without being attacked. The inten-
tions ot a Ute Indian however are
very much like that “peace of the in-
finite” which passes understanding.
LITTLE RHODA.
A Ramble on Historic Ground-King
Tom and his Descendants-Plnl-
gree Lodge and Its Furni-
ture.
A i.l Round-About Aug. 20.—The s< c*
ond Sunday of the last summer month
la both a gala and a sacred day In that
part of Rhode Island formerly occupied
by Pinigret. Here in tbe Indian meet-
ing bouse situated in Charleston his
descendants gather and listen to tbe ex-
pounding ol the Scriptures by one of
the brethren. Tbe last sermon was de-
livered by tbe Kev. Gideon Nocake who
claims to be a lineal relative of King
Tom AHe preached from Ida. m. to 1 p.
m. and then came to a halt only because
of the hunger of bis audience. .Mr. No-
cake professed himself entirely above all
considerationsof lleshly or financial sup-
port. “I shall stan ere tell I'm through
and you kin all go out If you want ter”
be remarked. “1 didn't come ere for
filthy lucre and 1 don't want none of
yourgood dinners neither. You can keep
your vittles.” "Amen !” Bang out a sis-
ter with more zeal than hospitality
“why if 1 was as bad off as some of ye
are” the orator continued “I’d get rid
o’ some o' the stain if 1 bad to waller at
the foot o’ tbe cross till I was a creaking
skeleton.”
The spot where this meeting bouse
stands is one of the most picturesque
places in picturesque Rhode island.
T he road thither is so strikingly like our
unfrequented mountain passes that It
was bard to believe that the Atlantic
ocean was tossing up Its white caps
within a mile or two of where we stood.
It was next to Impossible to reach the
grounds in carriages But tbe walk
through tbe woods was deligtful be-
yond description and to the imaginative
spirit one never to be forgotten Here
Queen Esther was crowned with Impo-
sing ceremonies after the death of her
father. King Thomae Pinigret in 1770.
Here her grandfather King I'om believ-
ed and trusted by his people bunted
and fished and gathered the old and tbe
young about him and talked to them of
>be “happy bunting grounds” where
birds of brighter plumage and not so
elusive of wing would some day reward
honest Indians. One could not
but reflect upon the difference
between tbe crisp pregnant sen-
tences of the early natives and the
Inconsequential rbodomenlade of the
descendant wno spoke to tbe remnant
of the tribe on Sunday. It was doubt-
less .a clear case of solution and as
such exceedingly interesting but all
tbe same King lorn by contrast seem-
ed a much more faolnating and lovable
character.
Through the woods from the meeting
house to tbe Indian school house tbe
oldest educational institution in R. O.is
a still more delightful ramble if such a
thing can be. Here in a clearing and
on tbe banks of one of tbe loveliest
lakes in tbe world “Cockmaplng” by
name which when translated means
“The briny of the great white gull”
stands this ancient building. It Is now
Pinigret lodge a school house
no longer and held in trust
by some of Rbode Island's most
distinguished citizens. When in 170!)
Kintgretceded to tbe colony of R. I.
bis vacant lands and they in return
guaranteed protection to him and his
posterity be reserved an area of 64
square miles of which this land is a
part. Of all the Indian possessions this
was most precious and was retained by
the Narragansetts until ceded to the
state in 1880. Tbe trustees of the Plni-
gret Lodge are A. Prescot Baker Jos.
J. Blakely Wm. P. Buflum said to be
prohibition candidate tor congress and
Wm. P. Sheffield Jr. These gentlemen
with several guests were enjoying life
at this romantic spot on the day of the
Indian meeting. Pinigret Lodge
though built by logs and very o.d
eems a most substantial structure and
suggests nothing of life’s labors or de-
privation. The walls are formed of logs
with the rough bark inside a style of
dado and frieze in perfect harmony with
the surroundings. The furniture would
delight tiie heart of an antiquarian. A
“courting chair” is one of the
most noticeable objects two seats
hot tete a tete but side by side
with a single back. The great tire place
of rough stone has a chimney towering
above it and piercing tee roof. Here
are veritable "pot hooksand trammels”
an ' old fashioned cake kettle and tin
oven crane and andlrous and ones
mouth waters at the suggestion of j Jin-
ny cakes and biscuits roast corn and
potatoes produced by this roaring wood
tire. A •’home made” map of large di-
mentions designed and executed by Mr.
Sheffield is hung upon one side of the
room. It represents all the town lots
ponds and streams of the district their
size and owner’s name-a model of pen
and ink drawing as well asgeogropbical
information. A valuable relic of the
early school house is a strip of black-
board two or three feet long and a few
Inches wide. This bangs beside the map
and Is covered with Indian arrow-heads
which have from time to time been
picked up In the neighborhood. The
shelves and book cases are tilled with
tbe popular novels of the day as well as
more substantial volumes and works in
French and German Packs of cards
boxes of cigars guns fishing rods nets
in short everything suggestive of hav-
ing “a good time” and "taking life easy”
meet the eye in every direction. A col-
ored chef ministered to the appetites of
the little company though Mr. Shef-
field is said to be able to cook tish as
well as catch them and is better author-
ity on johnny cakes than the oldest In-
habitants and can roast a fowl in the
tin oven second to none. For a prohi-
bition candidate Mr. Butlum. the well
known Wm. P. seemed singularly reti-
cent. On this account your correspond-
ent failed to elicit the information on
this all important subject which she
hoped to be able to impart. Perhaps
Mr. Buffuiu is too modest a man to
speak of his congressional intentions be-
forehand. Eleanor Kirk.
The New Prize Story
is eagerly sought for read with pleasure or
disappointment is then tossed aside and for-
gotten. But ladies who read of Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription read it again for they
discover in it something to prize—a messen-
ger of joy to those suffering from functional
derangements or any of the painful disorders
or weaknesses peculiar to their sex. Periodi-
cal pains inflammation and ulceration readi-
ly yield to its wonderful curative and healing
powers. It is the only medicine for women
sold by druggists under a positive guarantee
from the manufacturers thnt it will give sat-
isfaction In every ease or money will be re-
funded. This guarantee has lieen printed on
the bottle-wrapper and faithfully carried out
for many years.
San Antonio has hotel accommoda-
tion* for tbe regular travel that reaches
this city and something to spare but she
has no hotel accommodations for any-
thing like ICCO people should such a
number desire to winter here for the
benefit of this climate. By hotel accom-
odations is meant such accommodations
as would be acceptable to those who
visit southern health resorts from our
northern and eastern cities. It is all
very well to speak of our advantages in
tbe superlative degree and so draw
people to this city only to go way in a
short time dissatisfied and prejudiced
against tbe town. The wiser policy is
to point out the defects existing the
wants which are patent to everyone and
by an intelligent effort to supply these
show that we are not unmindful of wbat
is needed nor so wedded to present
methods and conditions as to be Incapa-
ble of supplying our lack.
EDITORIAL BREVITIES.
The know-nothing party should elect
Ives president. He does not even know
where the account books of Ills office
are.
Russia’s opposition to Ferdinand's
occupancy of the throne of Bulgaria has
had its effect upon Turkey and the Porte
baa informed that young gentleman that
he has been entirely too previous In
taking hie seat without asking permis-
sion.
The railroad smashes continue to at-
tract attention by their alarming fre-
quency confirming tbe saying of the old
tar that a ship's deck was after all tbe
safest place in the world. This observa-
tion will lose no force from tbe news
wired yesterday of tbe safe arrival In
port of thejlosl passengers of the ill-fated
city ot Montreal.
The recent rains have not benetltted
corn in Illinois. The bloom was off the
tassel and the tassel dead before the rain
came and there was nothing to germi-
nate grains of corn froui. It will save
what was not dead and make fodder
and grass nothing more. Tbe corn has
a good growth but has no ear.
The returns of the English war office
recruiting department show a marked
deterioration in the English lower
classes during the last quarter of a cen-
tury. The rejections tor physical dis-
qualifications during 1860-64 were 371
for every 1.C03 examined. The rejec-
tions in 1886 were 415 for every 1000 ex-
amined.
The “work of advertising San Anto-
nio” as it is calied does not half express
the work to be undertaken. It is a work
of encouragement to capital aud manu-
facturing brains to come and settle here
and aid ouf local capital and brains in
making tbe most of their advantages. It
Is not merely to advertise our natural
advantages out to put before the world
the willingness of this city to assist in
building up all profitable industries and
the direction that assistance will take.
To snow in a word that San Antonio
will do as well as to declare what she Is.
American sknds are not the only
beaches upon which gaping fools do
congregate. During the entire stay of
the empress of Austria at Cromer Eng-
land she was followed from hotel to
beach and from boat to bath by a crowd
of ill mannered snobs who invaded her
privacy at all times and compelled her
to shield herself within doors for hours
when she would otherwise have been
taking the air. The English snob beats
ereation.
The drouth seems to have a spite at
this whole country. In the region of
West Virginia within and adjacent to
McDowell county low water in the
streams which are strongly impregnat-
ed with minerals has caused an epi-
demic and the death rate is 33} percent
of all who are taken sick. Over two
hundred deaths have occuired in Mc-
Dowell county alone and the well are
so busy taking care of the sick that all
farm work is laid aside. It is nearly
four weeks since the disease first ap-
peared.
The old knownothlng party is to be
revived. The call for the national con-
vention assembles that body at Phila-
delphia on the occasion of the constitu-
tional centennial next month. Tbe
knowmotbing party is too decidedly one
idead to be a successful exponent of po-
litical principles but the one idea for
which it stands might be emphasised in
the minds of existing political parties
without any detriment to American hon-
or at home or abroad. In doing this
work it may find its mission but not as
a distinct party.
BABY HUMORS
And all Skin and Scalp Diseases
Speedily Cured by Cuticura.
Our little son will be four* years of age on
the 25th inst. In May I**s he was attacked
with a very painful breaking out of the skin.
We called in a physician who treated him
for about four weeks. The child received lit-
। • ■ । no good from tin- treatment as the
breakingout supposed by the physician to be
hives in an aggravated form became larger
in blotches and more and more distressing.
We were frequently obliged to getupin tbe
night and rub him witli soda in water strong
liniments etc. Finally we called other phy-
sicians until no less than six had attempted
to cure him nil alike failing andthechlld
steadily getting worse and worst* until about
the2oth ol last July when we began togive
him Citiccr 4 Resolvent internally and the
Citk'UßA and Cvticvra Soap externally and
by the last August he was so m arlj well ihat
we gave him only one dose of the Resolvent
about every second day lor about ten days
longer and he has never been troubled since
witli tiie horrible malady. In all we used less
than one half of a bottle of Cuticura Resolv-
ent. a little less than one box of Cuticura and
only one cake ot Cuticura Soap.

A Word About Catarrh.
“It is the mucous membrane that wonder-
ful semi-fluid envelope surrounding the deli-
cate tissues of the air and food passages that
Catarrh makes its stronghold. Once estai>-
lished it eats into the very vitals and renders
life but a long-drawn breath of misery and
disease dulling the sense of hearing tram-
meling the power of speech destroying the
faculty of smell tainting the breath and kill-
ing the refined pleasures of taste. Insidious-
ly. by creeping on from a simple cold in the
head it assaults the membranous lining and
envelops the bones eating through the deli-
cate coats and causing inflammation slough-
ing aud death. Nothing short of total eradi-
cation will secure health to the patient ami
all alleviatlves arc simply procrastinated suf-
ferings leading to a fatal termination. San-
fords Radical Ci he by Inhalation and by
internal administration lias never tailed':
even when the disease has made frightful in-
roads on delicate constitutions hearing
smell and taste have been recovered and the
disease thoroughly driven out.”
