IMPORTANT SUGGESTIONS.
Bictrpta From the Report tf the Hoard
of Visitors to the West Point
Military Academy.
Washington, Aug. 9.—The board oi
visitors to the West Point Military
academy, consisting of Charles F,
Koe, New York, president; Senator
Pettus, of Alabama, vice-president;
George W. Childs Drexel, of Philadel
phia, secretary; Prof. William 11.
Harper, of Chicago; A. C. Howzee,
Alabama; El lorrance, of Minneapo
lis; Richard M. Young, of Salt Lake
City; Montgomery Schuyler, of New
York; Senator Quarles, of \Visconsin;
Representative Dick, of Ohio, and
Representative Gillett, of Massachu
setts, has made its annual report to
the war department.
Sn»i;estlons nu to Stew Dnlldlnffa.
The most important feature of the
report, in view of the new buildings
which are to be erected at West Point
under the legislation of the last con
gress, is that pertaining to buildings,
l'he board says that all matters per
taining to the buildings should be act
ed upon by a committee of not less
than three members of the academic
board selected by the superintendent
□i the academy, these members to
submit their report to the whole
board, and any action taken to be
subject to the approval of the secre
tary of war. “This matter,” says the
report, “is of so much importance to
the people of the whole country that
t should be under the control of the
board.”
It is stated that the recommenda
tion is not intended ns a reflection up
:>n the present superintendent, Col.
Mills, as the board commenus the su
perintendent very highly for what he
, n n /] . . ^ . t In * Vv A# Unilfllnepc A f
the academy.
Entrance Requirement.
The board commends the regula
tions now in force for the acceptance
n graduates with certificates from
ligh schools and normal schools, and
:>f candidates having a college stand
ng. The report states that inasmuch
is the states and territories are quite
generally supplied with high schools
md colleges, and as West Point is a
technical institution of the military
irt and science, the entrance require
nent should enlarged from time to
,ime as rapidly and extensively as
tiractieable with the purpose of per
nitting an extension in instruction
>n purely military subjects, and of
essening the strain which now exists
iwing to the large amount of elemen
tary teaching crowded into the four
,"ears’ course. j.he board does not
ipprove the suggestion that a fifth
,'ear be added to the course or that
l preparatory school for one year
thould be located near West Point for
he reception ol cadets designated
’or the academy
Ito m in end at ions—Recommendations.
The board commends the change in
he law under which the number of
cadets shall be substantially in
reased, and also commends the meth
>d of dividing classes into small sec
ions for purposes of instruction.
The board recommends that officers
letailed to teach French and Spanish
>e ordered abroad for the purpose
if familiarizing themselves with
hose languages.
It approves the fact that heads of
lepartments and instructors are striv
ng to place themselves in closer
ouch with cadets, to the end that
he latter feel less restraint in calling
ipon the former fur necessary assist
mce.
The enlarged social privileges of
he cadets is commended, and the
recommendation of Col. Mills that a
rourse of lectures form a feature of
lie year's course is approved.
It is recommended that each mem
x'r ol congress appoint a principal
md a first and second alternate, in
irder that the number of cadets may
je kept at the maximum. It also is
•ecommended that the pay of the ca
let be made $G9 pei month, same as

Rome, Aug. 9.—The action of the
Philippine friars in selling their lands
o syndicates of laymen is disap
proved at the Vatican. The lands are
:onsidered to be church property, in

hat the Dominicans alone sold their

ment of the following commission of
inquiry into the conduct of the Boer

Portrait of Washington I'nvelled.
London, Aug. 9.—Joseph H. Choate,
the American ambassador, Friday
afternoon unveiled a portrait of
Washington in masonic regalia, in the
presence of many masons, in Free
masons hall. The earl of Warwick,
the deputy grand master of the free
masons of England, who presided,
paid a tribute to Washington, in
which he referred to the great venera
tion in which the first American pres
ident was held in England, and his
consistent remembrance of fellow
masons during the war for American
independence.

"I think that the people of the west are
exceedingly interesting, blit 1 tlo not like
their ways,” said t^,e spinster landlady, as
she began her niginiy attack with the carv
ing knite on a leg of cold mutton, relates the
New York Tribune.
“U’liat don’t you like about them?” asked
her nephew, who sat next to her and often
embarrassed the boarders by saying there
was too much water in the soup.
“Why, l think they are too forward,”
said the woman with the knife, as she peeled
off a thin slice for a hard working politician
and officeholder, who often entertained the
rest of the boarders by telling them of his
campaign experiences.
“Have you met many westerners?" asked
the politician, as he saw his almost empty
plate .set before him.
“Yes,” was the prompt reply. “I was out
in California and the people out there en
tertained me almost to death. The women
1 met at noon acted as if they had known
lie their whole lives by two o’clock. They
were altogether too forward. I didn't like
it.”
‘‘Hut the men didn’t bother you, aunty,
did they?” piped up the nephew.

Have You Kidney
or Bladder Trouble?
Tho Base of Mrs. Nancy Ball.
There are no diseases chat more quickly and surely derange the entire constitution than
Kidney or Bladder trouble, and It behooves every man and woman suffering from these diseases
to have themselves cured at once. The body depends upon the Kidneys to throw off the waste
matter of the system, and when it fails to do this the result is an interference with digestion, a
sudden stoppage of the free circulation of the blood and a serious weakening of the heart.
Also rheumatism could not exist if it were not for weak and deranged Kidneys.

Mrs. Nancy Ball, proprietor of the Ball
Bouse, Columbia. Miss., says : *• i was for a
long time a great sufferer from dropsy
complicated with Kidney and Biadder trou
bles; my feet and hands were swollen and
at times I was unable to walk about. My
family physician had exhausted bis skill in
the treatment of my case without giving me
any relief. I was then induced to give
Smith's Sure Kidney Cure a trial and to my
utter astonishment the first bottle relieved
me, and 1 am in perfect health and able to
attend to all my duties about the hotel. 1

FEEL BADLY
Do you feel tired, despondent, bilious or half
sick. Do you have dizzy spells, headache, backache.
Is your breath bad, digestion poor, are your bowels
constipated. If you have any of these symptoms you
stand in need of PRICKLY ASH BITTERS, the great
blood purifier, system cleanser and regulator. This
grand remedy BEGINS RIGHT by acting on' the
excretory organs—the kidneys and bowels, thereby getting rid of the ac
cumulated impurities which have caused the trouble. + After this has
been accomplished the strengthening and restorative element in PRICKLY
ASH BITTERS will continue the good work. It will gently urge the
vital organs to a better and more complete performance of their duties^
give them strength and tone and promote harmony of action throughout
the body. When the system has been cleared of obstructions, the
bowels regulated and the kidneys resume fully their office of purifying
the blood, the general condition is immediately improved. * Appetite and
digestion are corrected, the eyes are brighter, the strength returns, the
complexion loses that sallow muddy cast, giving place to a clear skin
and ruddy glow. These are the signals of returning health," and they*
bring along that thrill and joy of living and interest in life’s duties that
only those in perfect health enjoy.
