"Washington, March 22. Secretary L'llss today made public an Interesting letter from Governor John G. Brady, of Alaska, containing tho observations made by h'lm while on his annual trip of Inspection to the various i o.ts on the coast. While passing up the Lynn canal, the governor says, the ollleors of the ship he was on saw a piece of wreckage, which was afterward ascer tained to be part of the ill-fated steam er Clara Nevada, of whose crew or passengers not one was left .to tell the tale. Special attention, he says, should be paid to vessels navigating tho Yu kon. At Yakutat It was found that every thing that had been reported to the navy department regarding the condi tion of affairs there was correct. The governor speaks of the practice of witchery which seems to exist to a. considerable extent In that part of the country. He tells of a man and two women who were bound and tied for bewitching a man. On tro ninth day the bound man was released, and as he had been given nothing to eat and but a few drinks of water he was in a shocking physical condition. The gov ernor spent some time talking to these people, and after explaining the laws of the United States, told them that in the future he would not deal lenient ly with those who practice witchcraft. About a dozen miners were at Yakut at, wanting to proceed to the head of Disenchantment bay. Thence they were to cross over the glacier to tho Olesek river, where they intended to prospect, and afterward proceed to the White river and get back to the St. 1211ns range of mountains.

"There Is no way by which people exhaust themselves, or kill themselves, so quickly as by exorcising tho affec tions." This striking remark was made by ono of the best physicians In America, Ho was a man who had studied deeply, observed keenly, and knew men and women thoroughly. Continuing, he said; "Sentiment is a grand, a lovely thing, and the world cannot live without It, but the exercise of the sentiments In variably exhausts. (People may not feel it, but it Is true nevertheless. A man or a woman wears out, breaks down, and then wonders at tho cause. There should be no occasion for wonder. I have explained tho cause." "If the men and women of the nine teenth century do not feed tho fcrces that produce sentiments, affections, feelings, they are certain to break down, to become exhausted, nnd to die before their time. Do not tell me these things are theories, for they are solemn facts." "You nsk mo what I would do," he continued. "I answer: Begin to feed these forces; feed them constantly; feed them with the best and most sci entific discovery you can secure. If you ask me what Is the best, I unhesi tatingly say it Is that grand prepara tion which has been so long before the people and Is so popular, Warner's Safe Cure. I know that It possesses powers known to no other discovery, nnd I know that thousands of men and wo men cannot live without It today. If you will stop and think, or ask your friends, you will see that what I say Is correct, and I believe be led to try It at once if you have not already done so." The facts stated by the doctor and the advice he gives are sound. It Is absolutely true that many men and women are enabled to live and enjoy life entirely through the power which this great remedy gives them, and there are thousands of others who need to follow in the same path.

Tlocho specified his charge by saying Mr. Torrey drew $2, 000 salary when he was legally entitled to only $l,G0O, the former amount hav ing been provided In the appropriations and not by special ordinance. Mr. Roche said the Republican members knew It was illegal and were a party to it. Democrats nnd Republicans nllke had many Individual measures to consider under the various heads of business but they seemed anxious to prevent nny further outburst and adjourned, a few voting negatively. On a tie vote early In the session Mr. Kearney's motion was lost to take from committee the ordinance award ing damages to Peter Lyn'ett for prop erty Injured by water on West Market street.

An Important communication from Street Commissioner Dunning wns re ceived In reference to the Driving Park bridge. He wrote that of the $1,000 ap propriated In 1S97 for a new wooden bridge only $396 remained, the balance having been re-approprlated for other purposes. He had spent $30 for repairs, but $500 would be required for a new wooden structure. An iron bridge was needed, however, and if funds were not forthcoming the present unsafe struc ture would be closed. A concurrent resolution was received from the lower branch directing the city controller not to sign any war rants In favor of Thornton & Co. for work on the Farber court sewer until labor claims had been paid. Mr. Finn thought the resolution should not pass, as assignments to the amount of $300 had been made as long ago as last De cember In favor of a Scranton bank for money loaned. Mr. Roche's motion prevailed that the matter be referred to the city solicitor for disposition, no action to take place meanwhile preju dicial to labor claims. ' Mr. Sanderson Introduced a resolu tion directing the city clerk to notify the board of control that after April 1 the city will cease to pay for light and heat in the rooms occupied by the board, and providing that the present facilities of light and heat shall be stopped If the board does not provide for their payment.

STREET CLEANING ORDINANCE. To the ordinance providing for clean ing paved streets by contract, Mr. San derson offered two amendments, one of which was defeated. One amendment provided that the street commissioner may except streets or avenues that property owners may desire to keep clean under arrangements similar to the present method whereby the city bears part of the expense. Mr. Fellows' motion to table the amendment was carried by a vote of 15 to 5, Messrs. Thomas, Williams, Chittenden, Lan sing and Sanderson voting negatively. Mr. Sanderson's amendment that the successful bidder furnish a bond of $5,000 was adopted. An nmendment was offered by Mr. Wagner nnd ndopted providing that tho award of cleaning contracts by the street commissioner be "with the ap proval of select and common council."

Tho national disease of Americans ia Indigestion or in Its chronic form, dys peiwla, and for the very reason that It Is so common many people neglect tak ing proper treatment for what they consider trilling stomuch trouble, when as a matter of fact, Indigestion lays the foundation for many Incurable dis eases. No person with a vigorous, healthy stomach will fall a victim to consumption. Many kidney disease and heart troubles dato their begin ning from poor digestion; thin, nervous people are really so because their stom achs are out of gear; weary, languid, faded out woman owe their condition to Imperfect digestion. When nearly every person you meet Is allllctcd with weak digestion It Is not surprising that nearly every secret patent medicine on the market claims to bo a cure for dyspepsia, as well as a scoro of other troubles, when In fact, ns Dr. Worthier says, there Is but one genuine dyspepsia cure which is per fectly safe and reliable, and moreover, this remedy Is not a patent medicine, but It Is a scientific combination of pure pepsin (free from animal matter), vegetable rs'sences, fruit salts and bis muth. It Is sold by druggists under name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. No extravagant claims are made for them, but for Indigestion or nny stom ach trouble, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are far ahead of any remedy yet dis covered, 'lhey act on the food eaten, no dieting is necessary, simply eat all the wholesome food you want and these tables will digest It. A euro results, because all tho stomach needs Is a rest, which Stuart's Dyspepola Tablets give by doing the work of digestion. Druggists sell those tablets at 50cts per package.
