CAKKEK OF JOHN JOSEPH NOUK1.
Transition From Insane Asylum to Vir-
sin I'aiace. j
Sax Feaxcisco, April 20. The strange-1
aess of truth has often been commented I
upon as exceeding the most fanciful j
flights of fiction. An illustration of this t
e furnished in the career of John Joseph 1
'ouri, who has been crowned patriarch'
at Trichoor, Malabar, and is ruler over,
Syrian Chaldeans. j
Four years ago Nouri was committed
by Judge Walter H. Levy to the asylum
or the insane at Napa, and there he re-!
mained until September, 1893, when by
- uori8 oi .m. M.Jfoote, president oi j
the California Association for the Pro-!
ttctlon of Persons, he was restored to,
'bSp.tv. Chalmers Easton. formerly
a Presbyterian minister in this city, now j
f Washington D. C, is credited with
''aving learned the facts in a letter from
Kev. John Barrone, now
traveling in

u: i i-
ot less remarKable than his appear
ance was the story he told. He claimed
to have discovered the remains of
Noah's Ark on the summit of Mount
Ararat.
When released from the asylum, Nouri
claimed he had been robbed of four med
als studded with diamonds, and valued
at $2500, the gift of the Chaldean Greek
church, of a negotiable note for $2500, and
his credentials. Dr. Chalmers Easton
believed in him, and helped him on his
journey eastward. Later on he display-
ed u's knowledge o Greek, and in
Washington at the Smithsonion insti-
tution translated the hieroglyphics on
j some tables there with euprisiug ease.
Intent on making his jjurney around
the world, he traveled on to London,
and from there came in May, 1S94, the
story that he intended to sue the United
Statee tor $5,000,000 for ill treatment
during his sojourn.
Now the climax to the story is in the
letter to Kev. John Barrons, claiming
that John Joseph Nouri, the deposed
king of the Chaldeans, has been re

New Yokk, April 20. The Journal
this morning says :
The Cuban dollar will be on the street
within a few davs. It will be a silver
coin of the size of the Spanish coin known
as five pesetas. Five million dollars
worth of bullion is to be converted into
the coin, which, even if it is no more
than a souveuir of the Cuban struggle,
will still ba worth its weight. The Cu
ban junta indorses the circulation of sil
ver coin bearing the stamp of the provi
sional government. The monev to buv
this bullion and to defray the the me
chanical expense of the issue is said to
have been raised through the exertion of
A. J. Corbert, a local broker. He pro
fesses ignorance as to tde identity of his
principals. At the office of A. Krauss
further information was obtained.
"Men with money have been figuring
on this thing for a long time." he said
xiie junta is behind us. Wo start in
with a million dollars' worth of five
pesetas. The coin is about the size ot
the American dollar and resembles it
much.
"The new Cuban coin, which must
not be called a medal or a souvenir, will
be accepted for its weight in silver any
where. The design for the face of the
coin will consist of a head or a figuie
indicating liberty. The seal of the Cu
ban republic, already familiar on its
bond and postage stamps, will be on the
reverse.
"The friends of Cuba who will have
made this issue of coins are men of
wealth. They will back the Cuban en
terprise to the extent of ten millions if
necessarv."
When a person is losing flesh and
wasting away there is cause for alarm.
Nothing so worries a physician. Con
sumptives would never die if they could
regain their usual weight. In fact there
would be no consumption if there was
no wasting of the system. The cause of
this loss of flesh is a failure to properly
digest the food eaten. Nine-tenths of
all of our diseases date back to some de
rangement of the stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will
stop this wasting of the body. It acts
by causing the food we eat to be digest
ed so as to do good, for undigested food
does more harm than good. The Cor
dial contains food already digested and
is a digester ot foods as well.
Laxol is the best medicine for chil
dren. Doctors recommend it in place of
Castor Oil.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faitli in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Bend for list of
