noticeable flurry cither in railroad or

Foul-SmellingCatarrh.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinatediseases, and hence the most difficultto pet rid of.There is but one way to cure it.

The disease is in the blood, and all thesprays, washes and inhaling mixturesin the world can have no permanenteffect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-eificcures Catarrh permanently, foritisthe only remedy which can reach thedisease and force it from the blood.Mr. B. P. McAllister, of llarrodsburg,

Ky», had Catarrh for years. He writes:"I could see no improvement whatever,

though I was constantly treated with spraysand washes, nnd differ¬ent Inhaling remedies.in fact. 1 c.uld feel thate.-.eh winter I was worsethan' the year previous."Finally it wt«

brought to my noticetha t Cata rrh was a blooddisease. and after thhi_-inp over the matter. 1saw it wasun reasonableto expect to he cured byremedies which o ill ?reached the surface.then decided to try

S. S. s!, and after a few bottles were used. I no"-tieeda perceptible improvement. Continuingthe remedv. the disease wbs forced out of mysystem, aiid a complete cure was the result.I advise all who have this dreadful disease toabandon thcirloeal treatment.whichhasneverdone them an? good, and take S.S. S., a rem¬

edy that can r¿ach the disease and cure It.'*To continue the wrong treatment for

Catarrh is to continue to suffer. Swift'sSpecific is tt real blood remedy, andcures obstinate, deep-seated diseases,which other remedies have no effectwhatever upon. It promptly reachesCatarrh, and never fails to cure even themost; aggravated cases.

ARCH AT CHATTANOOGA.Secretary of War I*_còmincn(ls the

Sit«; as à Suitable One.The Secretary of War has forwarded

to the Committee on Military Affairs oftile House a. report which lie called forfrom the Chlckamauga. and ChattanoogaNational Military Park Commission uponRepresentative Grosvenor's bill pro¬viding- for the erection of nn »Vrch ofNationality upon the battlefield at Chat¬tanooga.The Commission expresses the opinion

that this is an appropriate site.1..Because" all of tne great armies of

the North and the South were either en¬

gaged liiere or numerously represented,namely: On tho Union side, the Armyof the Cumberland, 2 corps from theArmy of the Tennessee, and corps fromthe Army of the Potomac, while on theConfederate side were the forces ofBragg, made up of his own army, Long-str-^efs Corps from the Army of NorthernVirginia, and large forces from Vicks-burg and from Joseph E. Johnston's com-

manti in Mississippi. Thè present andabsent on the rolls of these commands,all of whom or their friends arc interestedare. Union. 1S9.500 soldiers; Confederate.111,000. The total organizations engagedwere GS<i, of which 348 were Union and33S Confederate.

2. livery State in the Union at the out¬break of tho war east of the KockyMountains had troops engaged in the bat¬tles about Chattanooga except four-New Hampshire, A'ermont. Rhode Island,and Delaware. In the mobilization atCamp Thomas for the war with Spain,New Hampshire and A'ermont were repre¬sented, and troops from both sectionsrallied there. This assembling of troopsat Chickamauga, where fully one-quarterof the entire Army was gathered, isdeemed by the Park Commission to fur¬ther emphasize the appropriateness ofthe proposed location of an Arch ofNationality, since there were campedside by side under the one flag soldiersfrom Minnesota and South Carolina,A'ermont and Tennessee, Michigan andGeorgia. Arkansas and New York, Mainoand Mississippi.

3. The Commission points out thatChattanooga is nearer central and nearerthe center of population than any of the

great battlefields, being midway betweenMaine and Texas, between Alinnesotaand Florida, between the Lakes and theGulf, and between Kansas and the Atlan¬tic.

4. The plans of the Commission, whichhas long been co-operating with GeneralGrosvenor in the matter, contemplatebronze tablets presenting a completeroster of all commands engaged on eachside down to regiments and batteries,with their commanders: a roster of allStiite commissioners and their governorswho have assisted in the work of es¬

tablishing the park, and a roster of theCongress which authorized the park andof the Congress which authorized thearch as its crowning work.

MAY RESUME.Talbott and Palmer Will Probably Re_

main in Business.A Macon (Ga.) paper prints the follow¬

ing:There is now a stronger probability than

ever .that Talbott & Palmer will be ableto resume business.A telegram from Mr. ¡Palmer from

Cnieago ·¦ yesterday announced that hehad perfected satisfactory arrange¬ments.It had already been practically agreed

among the Macon creditors of the con¬

cern that they would consent to almostanything that the tirm asked. The Maconparties interested have all along express¬ed a desire to help the tirm get back on

Us feet, it" it became necessary to lendthem money. They seem to have every con-

iidence in the integrity of the gentlemen atthe. head of the business, and so far as

known no creditor here doubts that thefailure was a perfectly honest one, duealtogther to too much generosity to¬ward customers.But ..danta creditors have not shown

a similar disposition. Several effortshave, been made at that end of the lineto get the case into the criminal court.Warrants were sworn out up there

charging that the last day"s transactions,amounted to larceny. These warrantswere issued in spite of the fact that law¬yers insist that the cases would have no

standing in court.Chief-of-Police iBoifeuillet received an

order from the Atlanta chief-'of-pollce for.the arrest of Mr. Talbott on one of thesewarrants, and although h. regarded It as

an effort to humiliate Mr. Talbott, hewas compelled to notify Mr. Talbott thathe would have to consider himself in hiscustodv, but as there was no probabilitythat Mr. Talbott would try. to leave- Ma-'cori, the chief allowed him to go-on hisown recognizance.But, yesterday two officers.from At.an-..

ta came down, "each with, "a 'warrant.One of these, came from Justice;,.Orr's^Court and the other from Justice*. Ba*e-man's. An attorney also came ,w,ith. Jus¬tice Bateman's officer, and demandedMr. Talbott"s arrest In spite of ChiefBoifeulllet's authority. The. chief noti¬fied the officer that the Macon policewould take him in charge If he put hishands on Mr. Talbott. The officer seemeddetermined, but when he found that thecnief was equally s\ he decided to letithe matter drop. The officers' then re¬

turned to Atlanta. Mr. Talbott and his.attorney, Mr. Charles H.-Hall, ,Jr., will_. .to ^Atlanta this morning, ^here they.will face all of the creditors, and bring-,
