Two years ago, while being treated by three local physicians, Drs. Barret, Maley and Sherod, they f) Mrs. Julia A. Brown. informed me that I had become dropsical, and that there was little hope for me. 1 then decided to try Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine, I was then unable to get to sleep until well on toward daylight, and during all this time I had a deep, heavy pain in my left side. I was most miserable, indeed, but after taking one-half bot tle of the Ivervine I could sleep all night just as well as I ever did. The Jyervine is the only rpmedy that gave me any relief whatever.

ISTISMIMED Mrs. Waller Pleased With (he Action of the American Ambassador, I I RED TAPE IS RESPONSIBLE. Mr. Waller’s Solitary Confinement In Being Made as Pleasant aa Possible by the Attention of Our Representative. Evidence Placed In Secretary Olney’s Banda—The Conceaalon. New York, Oct. 18. —Mrs. Waller, wife of the ex-cousul of the United States at Tamatave, was a passenger with her two daughters and son, arriving yesterday on board the steamship Amsterdam. Regarding the efforts which have been made to obtain a hearing for her husband, who is confined as a military prisoner at Marseilles for the alleged offense of holding communictv tions with enemies of France in Madagascar, Mrs Waller said: "I am told that Ambassador Eustis has been criticised by those who sympathize with my husband, and I want to correct any i false impression that may have obtained. j Mr. Eustis neiffed us and—is treating my husband with the utmost consideration and tenderness. He exerted eveTy possible influence for our assistance and our benefit. Only red tape that binds the wheels of state in France is to blame for our failure to see my husband, ■and hfs- solitary confinement is being made as easy and as pleasant as possible by Mr. Eustis, who sends him newspa pers, books, inouey, tobacco, delicacies and all that is permitted to be sent a prisoner. Airs. Waller said further that she had forwarded to Secretary Olney documentary evidence sufficient to completely prove the innocence of Mr. Waller. Speaking of the much-talked-of concession, Mrs. Waller said: “For years English, French and German residents ' have been receiving grants and have in- ! variably foo.ed the government out of ' its royalties. No American had ever i received a concession of any conse- ' quence, and when Mr. Waller repre- ■ sented to the Hova government the wisdom of drawing American capital to Madagascar and pointed out the controlling commercial interests of the United States, the prime minister, anxious to invite American residents and investments to develop the resources of the country, made the grant.” Examining the Record. Washington, Oct. 18.—It has been., understood all along that the fate of exConsul Waller, who is still held in imprisonment by the French at Marseilles, hinged on the proceedings of the courtI martial which sentenced him, and therefore the state department has directed its efforts mainly to securing a copy of -the record of the court. Now that the record is in Paris a careful examination j levai ie documents is being made and sev- ! e»al flaws in the proceedings have been . noted. In the first place the court was : composed of five officers, whereas the • French military regulations are said to require at least seven persons to sit on the court. But more important than i this, it. has been discovered that Waller | was not really tried, as charged, but that i i as the trial progressed evidence was i taken on another charge not included in : the original matter, and that it was up--1 on may be called a supplementary, j but irregular charge, that Waller was ! convicted. Aside from the other points in the ease this matter of irregularity of ■ the 'proceedings may in the .end-go far ! to make up the case of our government as presented through Ambassador Eustis. ■' HARRISON IN QUARANTINE. ‘♦Baby” McKee Has Scarlet Fever and the ex-President Is With II in. Saratoga, Oct. 18.—Master Benjamin McKee, who has scarlet fever, is doing as well as could be expected. He is still quarantined, as is Mrs. J. R. McKee and ex-President Harrison, Fear. Scabby Sheep.

Sheep from these regions can be admitted within the state only ontheirbeing found to be free from scab and All other contagious diseases after a thorough inspection. The proclamation does not apply to sheep that are to be transported through the state by rail. . «, Joseph Medill Will Honor Franklin.

The statue, which will be presented to the park by Mr. Aledill, and which will cost from $30,000 to $50,000, is intended to perpetuate the memory of Franklin as the father*. of American printing and journalism.

FMAM OUTLOOK. Big Fight Has Simmered Down to a Glove Contest. ' „ NO LAWS AGAINST BOXING. Conference With the Cltixena la Said to HaVe Resulted In Getting the Governor In a More Amiable Frame of Mind—Corbatt Under Arrest—Will Sue Out a Writ of Habeas Corpus. Hot Springs, Ark., Oct. 18. —Unless there is a hitch as to the agreement between the principals, the indications are that Corbett and Fitzsimmons will meet in a glove contest in this city to decide the superiority between the two. The abandonment by the promoters of all further efforts to bring the men together under conditions which are ! prohibited by the laws of the state 1 changes the whole aspect of the case 1 from a legal standpoint and so far as official interference is concerned. If, as ! thoy now propose, the meeting shall be 1 a glove contest, with all unlawful feat- ! ures eliminated, it is not clear how official interference can i>e enforced. There is no statute against glove contests in this state. Should the local authorities conclude that the contest can be brought I off under conditions which will not warrant interference, it will take place, un- , less the principals should decline to I tight under such arrangements. To ! such a contest thfere will not and could not be any lawful interference by force from the state authorities. Governor Clarke while in this city consulted with offic’als and citizens freely upon the situation. While firm and still asserting that his position Was unchanged he was never in a better mood, to all appearance. The conferences were held behind closed doors and,, no reporters were admitted, secrecy being enjoined on the favored ones presi eut. But it is reported that the governq* is willing to refer the whole question to the local authorities for determination aqd abide by their action. A warrant against James J. Corbett wastissued and served yesterday afternoon. It charges that he has threatened, is conspiring and is about to commit an unlawful assault upon the person of one Bob Fitzsimmons. The warrant was issued at the instance of Prosecuting Attorney C. V. Teague. Corbett was brought into court by the sheriff, and the prosecuting atljorney asked that he be put under bond to keep the peace. The judge made the order, as asked, placing the bond at SIO,OOO. Corbett refused to give the bond, and his attorneys will sue out a writ of habeas corpus before Chancellor Leatherman, asking for his release. This will bring the question up for judicial hearing as to whether a glove contest, such as is now proposed, will be a violation of the state statutes. If the court decides that it is not, it is believed that the authorities wfll respect the decision, but if to the contrary, it is thought the whole matter will be abandoned. Fitzsimmons Still In TextU. Corpus Christi, Tex., Oct. 18.—Martin Julian left yesterday for New Orleans, en route to Hot Springs, but the balance of the pugilistic party are still here, aud Fitzsimmons continues his work of training as though the fight was sure to come off on schedule time. $ , ■■ MAYOR PINGREE VICTORIOUS.

SPY BRINGS NEWS FROM CUBA. Insurgents Are Reported to Be Much Encouraged by Recent Successes. Cleveland, Oct. 18.—Senor A. G-. De Arango of this city has received a letter from a New York friend, whose name he refuses to divulge, saying that a Cuban spy arrived in that city last Tuesday direct from the battlefields in Cuba. This spy declares, the letter states, that the revolutionists have been much encouraged by recent successes, and all feel certain that the dawn of Cuban independence has already appeared.

Forger Disappears. Memphis, Oct. 18.—A. K. Ward, secretary, treasurer and manager of the Memphis Barrel and Heading company, has disappeared, leaving outstanding forged paper to the extent, it is said, of SIOO,OOO, of which $37,600 is held in New York, SII,OOO in Chicago and various ampants by local banks.
