THE ARMY’S STRENGTH Admiral Crowninghield Makes a Startling Statement. Washington. Nov. 12—The startling starement is made in the report of I Admiral Cniwnisliield, chief of the navigation bureau, that the present personnel of the navy would foiui barely one-fourth of the total establishment necessary to light a tirslclass European power. It barely sufficed for the Spanish war. and no longer can be considered, the report says, as an ! effective neueleus about which a larg- I er establishment could be formed in case of war. The admiral regards this need of the navy for officers and men ns most urgent. He says that the bureau can point to many cases where the service Is being harmed by lack of officers. The naval academy is suffering for want of instructors and the present high standard of training can not be maintained. Every bureau in the department is short of officers, and the service, the report predicts, soon will fall behind iu the struggle, first, for leaderships, and then for equality, It Wil! Itemain a Mystery. New York, Nov. 9.—Two bodies were taken from the ruins of the Tarrant bunding yesterday. The first was that of Hamilton Matthews, a driver for Tarrant & Co. The remains were shockingly mutilated. Later the diggers in the ruins came across another body. This proved to be that of Benj. ...oorehouse. the missing shipping and stock clerk of the company. With him in all probability died also all possibility of explaining the fire horror. It was Moorehousc who had charge of the storage book of the big drug firm, in which was a list of all the explosives stored in the building. Sentenced to the Gallows. Covington. Ky.. Nov. 13.—John W.

SCROFULA In many respects Scrofula and Consumption are alike ; they develop from the same gen- g g eral causes, both are hereditary and dependent upon an impure and impovished blood supply. In consumption the disease fastens itself upon W 1 ' 'iltL “ c l Ul ’g s >in Scrofula the glands of the neck and throat swell and suppurate, causing ugly running sores; e e }’ eS are '"^ a >ne<l and weak ; there is an almost continual discharge from the ears, the limbs swell, bones ache, and white swelling is frequently a result, causing the diseased bones to work out through e P ro< l uc i. n g indescribable pain and suffering. Cutting away a sore or diseased gland does no A good ; the blood is poisoned. The old scrofulous taint which has probably come down through several generations has polluted every drop of blood. Scrofula requires vigorous, persistent treatment. The blood must be brought back to a healthy condition before the terrible disease can be stopped in its work of destruction. Mercury, potash and other poisonous minerals usually given in such cases do more harm than good ; they ruin the digestion "— ' and leave the system in a worse condition than before. S. S. S. is the only medicine that can reach deep-seated blood troubles like Scrofula. It goes down to the very roots of the disease and forces every vestige of poison out of the blood. S. S. S. is the only purely vegetable blood purifier known. The roots and herbs from which it is made contain wonderful blood purifying pro]>erties, which no poison, however powerful, can m iongresist. S. S. S. stimulates and purifies the blood, increases the UF' TRF liinll F9N- appetite, aids the digestion ami restores health and strength to the enfeebled body. If you have reason to think you have Scrofula, or your child has inherited any blood taint, don’t wait for it to develop, but begin at once the use of S. S. S. It is a fine tonic and the best blood purifier and blood builder known, as it contains no poisonous minerals. S. S. S. is pre-eminently a remedy for When my 3 uiKliter wa, an infant she l>a<l a severe caseof S<'rofula. f„r whi.-h she was under the eon JwK stant care of physicians for more than two vears.

A Discovery by Chnnce. Finiguerra. the master of early engraving, delighted In doing deeds of kindness. One day a washerwoman in washing a piece of clothing In which a needle had been carelessly left had the misfortune to run it into her hand. The needle broke, and more than half of It was left imbedded in the flesh. It gave her much pain, and as soon as she could she went to Finiguerra’s studio, put down the bundle of damp clothes that she was carrying to their owner and asked the artist to help her. After much patient, careful manipulation with bls fine tools he succeeded in extracting the broken needle. The woman thanked him, and as she lifted her damp bundle to leave the studio Flnlguerrn noticed that It had rested upon one of his engravings and had received an excellent impression from It The engraving, like all otherc of that time, was a metal plate complete In Itself and was regarded as a single picture. The impression made upon the damp cloth suggested to the alert inlnd of I'lnlguerra the possibility of producing an indefinite number of pictures from a single original. By experimenting he perfected his discovery and eventually made It possible for all homes to have beautiful engravings, for previous to his discovery only the wealthy could afford them.
