The Examiner sent telegram re- quests to the chairman of the Demo- cratic national committee of the various representative States re- questing expressions ‘of opinion on the attitude of Senator Hill of New York toward the Democratic party. The reports show an almost unani- mous sentiment in opposition to Senator Hill's course. Some of them assert that he is no longer a Democrat and advise him to join the Republican party, whose policy of protection he so unadvisedly up. holds. Quorum-Counting Rule Agreed Te.

Frankfort, Ky , April 12 —A letter to a persoaal friend in this city was received from Col. Rreckinridge ves- terday. It states positively that he will make the race for Congress at all hazards. The following extract from the letter will show tke tenor of the epistle: “I see from the statements going around through the papers that in the event of an adverse verdict here I would.withdraw from the race for Congress. Lam in this congressional race to the bitter end. I am not going to be on the defensive, but am going to make an agressive fight.” What Causes Pimples? Clogging ef the pores or mouths of the seba- ceous glands with sebum or oily matter. ‘The plug of sebum in the centre of the pimple is called a blackkead, grub. or comedone. Nature will not allow the clogging of the pores to continue long, hence, | | later pus or matter forms, breaks or is opened, the plug comes out acd the pore is once more free. | There are thonsands of these pores in the face alone, any one of which is liable to become | clogged by neglect or disease. | What Cures Pimples? The only reliable preventive and cure, when not due to a constitutional humor, is Cuticura Soap. It contains a mild proportion of CUTICTURA, the great Skin Cure, which enables it to dissolve the sebaceous or oily matter as it forms at the mouths of the pores. It stimulates the sluggish glands and tubes to healthy activity, reduces inflammation, soothes and heals irritated and roughened surfaces and | restores the skin to its original purity. | This is the secret of its wonderful success. For bad complexions, red, rough hands and shapeless nails, dry, thin and falling hair, scaly and irritated scalps and simple baby blemishes it is wonderful. | Itis preserving, purifying and beautifying to | a degree hitherto unknown among remedies for the skin and complexion.
