PIERCE'S REMEDIES. GOOD LIVING often results in bad health, because What is termed *good living” is usnally the gratification of the ate without reference to the nutrition of the body. When the good liver is a business man and rises from a full meal to plunge at once into work requiring mental effort the result is almost sure to be disastrous, because digestion draws upon the same nervous forces ployed in thought. In time the stom- ach becomes dis- eased, the pro- cesses of digestion and nutrition are imperfectly per- formed and there | is a physical breakdown. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the . stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It eliminates the effete poisonous matter which originates in the system as a con- sequence of imperfect digestion. Itgives sound health to the whole body. wish to say to the world that Dr. Pierce's Jden Medical Discovery has proved a great 10 me,% writes Mrs. Ellen E. Bacon, of Shutesbury, Frasklin Co. Mass.

Sre Herald ald LONDON, Jan. 10.—Now that the mag- ficence of the durbar has gone, people are counting the cost. Including the bill the Indlan Government will have to pay and the expenditures incurred by the In- and the Cable to The Call Copyright, 1903, b Publishing Company ‘New York dian Princes and chiefs and the English | Governor and Lieutenant Governor, it is safe to that at least $10,000,000 has been spent in unique in the annals of the world. The Indian Government's bill is likely to exceed $3,750,000. The cost to Lord Cur- zon personally has been very great, for large mbers of guests were entertained by him entirely at his own expense. The expenses of the nativ vary greatly, from $500,000 sald to have been spent by the Nizam of Hy- derabad to $50,000, for which sum minor chiefs were able to make but an indifferent display. When it remembered that the mnumber of these Princes and chiefs reaches nearly 100 the total exp s may be approxi- mated.

LONDON, Jan. 10.—Colonial Secretary Chamberlain’s tour of South Africa is be- ginning to attract greater attention. Both at Pretoria and at Johannesburg he re- ed great ovations, an interesting fea- e of which was the Intermingling of s and stripes and union jacks as a mpliment to Mrs. Chamberlain. The Sec y's outspoken replies t6 the | Boers’ suggestions, however, are creating | a certain feeling of uneasiness among the Government supporters here, who public- ly and privately express doubt whether any good will come of the trip. Briefly, Chamberlain so far has' not only declared practically that no further con- cessions can be made by Great Britain, - | but he has also upbraided the Boers for their lack of appreciation of what Great Britain has already done. To use the expression of a paper which has always been his warm supporter, Chamberlain has “‘allowed himgelf to be drawn early in the game.” t EX-DEPUTY U. 8.

BERLIN, Jan. 10.—Baron Speck von Sternberg, ‘the newly appointed Charge d’Affaires of Germany at Washington, conferred with Chancellor von Bulow for two hours to-day. He was in conference with the Chancellor for an hour yester- Gay evening. Thg Baron wil be received in audience by tRe Emperor on Tuesday or Wednesday. He has engaged trans- portation on the Hamburg-American line steamer Auguste Victoria, which is to sail from Hamburg on January 20 for New York. The Cologne Gazette to-day, in an ap- parently inspired statement, denies that Embassador von Holleben's retirement from Washington is connected with Pres- ident Roosevelt's refusal to arbitrate the Venezuelan dispute or to the alleged ill- feeling in the United States toward Ger- many. “In spite of the unfriendly comments in the American press,” the Gazette says, “the attitude of the United States and the President toward Germany has al- ways continued very correct—In fact, friendly.” The statement also says that Dr. von Holleben's leave of absence is ‘“not con- nected with the Pauncefote affair. Baron Speck von ‘Sternberg will be given ample rank. He will not be a sim- ple 4&'Affaires, but from the be- giuning will have a special rank, prob- ably that of Embassador Extraordinary, so that although Herr von Holleben will retain for an indefinite period the title of ‘Embassador to the United States, Baron James Moran, vice chancellor; E. E. Kim- | forces in the Philippiues at an early date. ' von. Sternberg will really have a rank equal or superior to that of Dr. von Hol- leben. Since the Emperor has been giving es- pecial attention to Germany’s relations with the United States he has said on two or three occasions, it is understood, that Germany ought to be represented at Washington by a personality which would win the regard of the American people, as well as the confidence of the American Government. The Emperor on one ocea- | sion alluded to the personality of Wu Ting Fang, the former Chinese Minister at Washington, as being of exceptional value to China. One of Chancellor von Bulow’s considerations in recommending the appointment of the Baron was that the latter was not a new man in Wash- ington, but one who already had an as- sured place in the respect of the Presi- dent. Secretary Hay and other members of the administration. The appointment seems to have come as a complete surprise to Baron von Stern- berg, for he had already started for Cal- cutta when a telegram caught him in Paris. He added that he was very much pleased to return to the United States and the friends he had left there only three weeks ago. Baron von Sternberg was born in Leeds, England, and did not see Germany | until he was 7 years old. His father was a naturalized Englishman and his mother was a Miss Shaw of Yorkshire. Lecture on Spiritualism. Dr. Alexander J. Mclvor-Tyndall, the famous thought reader, will lecture to- night at Elks’ Hall, 223 Sutter street, at 8 o'clock, on “The Truth About Spiritual- | ism.” This lecture is not one of the se- ries which will begin next Sunday at the same hall. It Is open to the general public and there will be no reserved seats. Whether or not there is any truth in the clalms of spiritualists regarding spirit communication is a question that is being discussed ¥ery thoroughly at the present time. Spiritualists claim that their philosophy is increasing among in- telligent people and others regard it as a superstition that is bound to be dispelled by the light of scientific truth. Just what theories and opinions are held by Dr. Meclvor-Tyndall, who has had unusual opportunities to study the alleged phe- nomena, will interest many thinkers, been enabled to add 325,000 ‘ fund, A PRINETTI WILL FIGRT BELLGRADE Accepts Challenge of the Count to Meet Him in Duel.
