■ piAUIS IN THE ORIENT CON. J TIM E MENACING TO ALL FOREIGN IN TERES IS. ■ state of doubt still exists Mews From Pekin Consists Almost Wholly of ■ Rumors of an Unofficial Character—Lega- ■ tioners Thought to Have Been Alive on ■ July 4 and Hope Is Held Out. ■London. July 10.—The Daily Mall’s ■[respondent at Chee Foo announces Sfc.Jer date of July 7 that the Ninth t ited States infantry has arrived at Baku. ■ London. July 10.—With the foreignB'r in Pekin probably safe amid a O' il war, with Prince Ching on their M e, with the powers united and their Haves constantly increasing, the outMok in China is now rather more hopeMil than it has been for a month past. ■’ appears from the cautious stateMieut given out by Taotai Sluing in Mhanghai that the reason that the Meavy guns bearing on the legations ■ Pekin were not used is that Prim e Mbiiic. who is served by 10,000 troops Melted all the artillery ammunition. ■ Sluing likewise intimates that Yung Mu, commander in chief of the uorth■ru army, is associated with Prime ■'king in opposing Prince Tuan's fero■iuus designs and dictatorial ambition. B Shang. who now appears to be the sole ■tliangliai conduit of I’eklu news, ■lieers the foreign consuls by these ■outidentlul communications, but takes ■xeessive precautions to prevent the ■Jhiuese from thinking him friendly to ■he foreigners. I The feeling of unrest in the southern ■ud central provinces continues. The ■nembers of the official classes in those ■roviuees strive to remain neutral with ■ leaning toward the foreigners until ■hey shall see whether the moderate or ■extreme factions will win in Pekin, prince Ching seems to la- standing for ■dynasty ami the old order against prim e Tuan's inordinate ambition. I 1 rout a foreign view point, the character of Pekin is the key to the sitna■tion. as there is a fear, that delay now means 100 recruits for the Boxers for every soldier of the allies in the land. Two couriers arrived nt Tientsin on July 1 from Pekin. One brought a letter from Sir Claude MacDonald, the British minister to the same effect as that previously recelvtsl front Sir Robert Hart. The couriers confirm the reports of the death of Baron von Kot tier. They say that Prince Ching is doing his utmost to protect the foreigners, but that the native feeling against the whites is strong. Two high officials opposed to the Boxers are reported by the couriers to have been m-snsslnated. A dispatch to a news agency here dated Tientsin July 2, says: "The empress dowager, so far from being dead is actively striving to prevent the factious fighting." The allies at Tientsin are having an exceedingly unpleasant time. The last engagement of which news has I conic through occurred on July l>.

A Saucy Duchess. When the "Beggars’ Opera,” by Gay was produced in 1728, It took the town positively by storm. The king still clung to Handel, but the nobility with the Duchess of Queensberry among them, flocked rapturously to the "New gate pastoral.” The "Beggars’ Opera” had a run of 62 nights, unprecedented in those days, and ns one result of its success Handel became bankrupt. Suddenly there cat*- an order from the lord chancellor to stop the new piece. Why, is not exactly known unless it was because the prime minister considered himself to be too faithfully represented therein. However that may have been, the theater had to be closed, whereupon the Duchess of Queensberry took up Gay’s cause and vehemently championed it. Very busy was she in those days, driving about in her eoaeli asking for guinea subscriptions for printing copies of the forbidden play. And so heedless was Kitty that she carried her list to the queen's drawing room itself and had the audacity to ask the king for a subscription. This was a little too much, and her grace was requested to withdraw from the court, Kitty announcing, with characteristic compo« sure, that the command was very agreeable to her, as she had never gone there for her own diversion, but to bestow civility upon the king and queen.—Good Words. Cabinet Secrets, Secrets of stale are probably the best kept of all secrets. When cabinet ministers in England first are admitted to the privy council, they have to take a solemn oath not to make known the conversation or proceedings of cabinet councils or any communications they may have with the queen or with another minister. They cannot give a hint of such things even to the highest members of the government who are not cabinet ministers. No clerk or secretary is allowed to be present at cabinet councils, no written record Is kept, and it Is the custom not to take any notes; hence no one but the crown and the ministers ever knows what has really been said and decided at cabinet meetings. The oath of secrecy lasts to the end of life. An ex-cabinet minister Is as much bound by It as an actual cabinet minister. Any conversation a minister or a peer may have with the crown on state matters must also be kept secret. So must letters to and from the sovereign. And even communications that have passed between sovereigns and ministers of former reigns must not bo divulged. But in cases of extreme urgency the crown could and w ould allow a breach of the oath of secrecy. Napoleon's “Dox Teeth.” in the world’s history,' said a Buffalo man, “there are three Characters who in the popular mind stand pre-em-inent—Alexander the Great, Cmsar and Napoleon. Napoleon lived so near our own time us to be almost within the memory of living men, and there are plenty of men today in France who heard of Napoleon from their fathers, who lived in the stirring time's e’lnneet.ed with his name. “There is a curious fact in connection with Napoleon's personal appearance that I have never been able to find mention of in any of the biographies, and that is that two upper front teeth were very long and lapped over the lower ones to an unusual extent, giving him a most peculiar appearance when smiling. These teeth—the two Upper Incisors, on either side of the mesial plane—ordinarily form a line that meets with the corresponding teeth in the lower jaw, but In Napoleon's ease they overlapped. This information came to my father directly from the son of Napoleon’s dentist, who made a memorandum of the fact.” —New York Tribune. Inuniie Seniie. Among the inmates of a certain insane asylum were two who were considered perfectly harmless ami not without a certain modicum of common sense. These two were generally employed tn the garden and were frequently left w ithout supervision. An opportunity offering, they planned between themselves m attempt to escape. "Now. bend down. Tom,” said Jack as the two conspirators came to the wall surrounding the grounds; "then I’ll climb up your shoulder to the top, and when I’m up I'll be able to give you a hand.” Torn accordingly bent down, and Jack, with a little difficulty, managed to gain the top of the wall, where. Instead of assisting his friend, he disappeared on the other side ami, as he was making off, shouted: “Well. I think, Jack, you'll be better to stay on another fortnight yet. You're not nearly cored!” Hebuking the Doctor, Doctor (weary with unsuccessful efforts to cure patient)—Well, I've just one more remedy to try In your case, and If this doesn't help you nothing will. Patient—Why didn’t you frankly tell me that In the first place, doctor? If nothing will help me, I could have taken that nt the start and saved the expense of your attentions. — Boston Transcript. « Mme. Chiffon’* Turn. “Is your collector honest?” naked Mrs. Downtown of her milliner merely us a matter of curiosity. “1 don't know,” responded Mme.

Suu Storms, The connection between the aurora, sun spots and magnetic disturbances has never been explained, but many observations have shown that it definitely exists. The outbreak of a cyclonic storm on the sun with the formation of spots is immediately registered in every magnetic observatory on the earth. Sometimes the disturbance of terrestrial conditions is very marked. For example, on Feb. 13, 1802, a great spot, accompanied by enormous cyclonic disturbances, burst forth on the sun’s surface. That night a magnificent aurora was visible all over the northern half of the United States and in many parts of Europe. Telegraphing was carried on between New York and Albany without batteries,so strong were the earth currents. The telegraph system of Sweden was com pletely paralyzed, and in Russia much difficulty was experienced with the telegraph lines. At the Kew observatory in England the magnetic needle swung two degrees out of its normal position. All this lias furnished physicists and astronomers a fruitful field for study, and a vast mass of observations has been accumulated, but so far no satisfactory explanation of the mysterious bond of sympathy between solar and terrestrial influences has been forthcoming, nor does any one yet know the true nature of the aurora. O’Connell and the Tipperary Boys. At Tipperary, brave Tipperary, they wanted to take the horses from O'Connell’s carriage and draw him themselves upon his way. “This will never do,” he said to his daughter-in-law. “Their intentions are excellent, but they’ll get so excited that we’ll find ourselves In the ditch presently.” Bursting open the carriage door, In a moment he was out among these gigantic Tipperary men, just as big as any one of them. “Now, boys, be reasonable,” he said. "Leave the, horses under the carriage.” "Rut, share, wo’d rather pull you along ourselves, sir,” was the reply as the preparations for so doing went gallantly forward. “All right; on your own heads be it!" cried O'Connell good hutnoredly, and. throwing off his coat, he set to with pugilistic intent, boxing them right and left until he got them to desist. Their amusement and delight knew no bounds, and when, on regaining the carriage, he doubled up his hand and shook it at them, with a beaming smile and a twinkling eye, the air was rent with enthusiastic shouting, . and he drove off even a greater hero than when he had come.—Donahoe’s Magazine. She Liked Variety. She is a very nice little girl, and yet she has an Imagination so vivid that people can’t help wondering once i awhile what is going to become of it. The little girl can and does tell the most marvelous tales, and when she is reproved she is entirely complacent and cannot see that her effective inventions are anything more than jokes. One of these she told to an interested neighbor, at whose house she called frequently. "How is your mamma, dear?” asked the neighbor one morning when the little girl made her appearance. “She is very sick,” answered the little girl earnestly. “Nelly (her sister) and I were up with her all night. We called the doctor.” But when the kind neighbor went in haste to see her sick friend she found her in every respect as well as ever. “Why did you tell kind Mrs. Blank such a story about me?” asked mamma seriously of her little girl at the first opportunity. “Well, mamma,” said the little girl, with a toss of her curls. “Mrs. Blank asks me every single morning how you are. ami I get tired of telling her that you are very well.”—New York Times. Too Honest. A lawyer took in a new boy the other day, and. as he had suffered to some extent from the depredations of the former one. he determined to try the new boy’s honesty at once. He therefore placed a 85 note under a weight on his desk and walked out without a word. Upon his return, half an hour later, the note was gone, and half a dollar in silver hud taken Its place. “Boy, when I went out I left 85 under this weight.” "Yes, sir, but you hadn’t been gone five minutes when a man came In with a bill against you for 84.50. I guess the change is correct?” “You paid the bill?” “Yes, sir. There It Is. all receipted. The man said it had slipped your mind for the past four years, and so”— He did not get any further before he made a rush for the door. Thnt boy Is not In the law business any more.— Chicago News. Sntan Got Behind. Mother-So you have been at the jam again, Adolphus? Son—The cupboard door came open of itself, mother, and I thought— Mother—Why didn't you say, “Get thee behind me. sntan?"

jRI. Cannot be Cut Out or wrfF JWi ww Kwg kTI Removed with Wasters Surgical operations and flesh destroying plasters are useless, painful and dangerous, and besides, never cure Cancer. No matter how often a cancerous sore is removed, another comes at or near the same point, and always in a worse form. Does not this prove conclusively that Cancer is a blood disease, and that it is folly to attempt to cure this deep-seated, dangerous blood trouble by cutting or burning out the sore, which, after all, is only an outward sign of the disease—a place of Wit for the poison ? Cancer runs in families through many generations, and those whose ancestors have been afflicted with it are liable at anytime to be stricken with the deadly malady. 1 Only Blood Diseases can be Transmitted from One Generation Io Another —further proof that Cancer is a disease of the blood. To cure a blood disease like this you must cure the entire blood system —remove every trace of the poison. Nothing cure# Cancer effectually and permanently but S. S. S. S. S. S. enters the circulation, searches out and removes all taint, and stops the formation of cancerous cells. No mere tonic or ordinary blood medicine can do this. S. S. S. goes down to the very roots of the disease, and forces out the deadly poison, allowing the sore to heal naturally and permanently. S. S. S. at the same time purifies the blood anil builds up the general health.

A little pimple, a harmless looking wart or mole, a lump in the breast, a cut or bruise that refuses to heal under ordinary treatment, should all be looked upon with suspicion, as this is often the beginning of a bad form of cancer.

Mrs. Sarah M.

Scale W»« Too Low. A great many of the census enumerators have given up their jobs in more or less disgust. When the announcement was made that the population canvassers would be appointed on a certain date there were several thousand more applications at the office next day than there were places for. Politics was considered very little in the selection of the men. and everything looked promising. When the final work of preparation was begun it resembled dear sailing until the canvassers found out something about the task that confronted them. One of them in resigning to Chief Agent Beaston said: “What do you think I am? I have to ask twenty-two questions for cents. That’s a good job. nit! You can have it. Snake liurslar Alarm. One of our correspondents tells a story of a tame snake that was so intelligent that one night, while it was roaming about the bouse of its owner, it caught a burglar in the dining room. The snake coiled itself around the legs of the burglar and with its tail reached a bell on the dining room table and, ringing It vigorously, alarmed the household, resulting in the capture of the burglar.—Bradford Star.

Washington, July 10.—Developments In the Chinese situation were considered by members of the cabinet at a consultation held yesterday. The participants explained their conference by saying that it was the first opportunity that had occurred lately to gather as many as four of the cabinet members for consultation. Results followed in tlie shape of renewed activity in the dispatch of reinforcements to China. Admiral Kempff's cablegram, giving his estimate of the amount of force he regarded as necessary to represent the United States properly in the movement upon Pekin was carefully considered. An agreement was reached to say nothing about the admiral's figures, on the ground that it would be impolitic to make our needs known to the Chinese in the first instance. and also because of a desire on the part of this government tn avoid being put In tlie position of appearing to set up a standard for tlie other powers in this matter. A Significant Dispatch. Washington. July 10.—Tlie following telegram lias been received by Minister Wu from Sheng, director general of tlie imperial telegraphs at Shanghai, dated Sunnily: "July :j.
