Democrat Anxious to Dispose of the State flunk Question. WASHINGTON, April O.-A House caucus petition has been circulated by Representative Swanson, of Virginia, who has also made a poll of the Democrats on th: S-Ue bank question. Mr. Swanson's poll s tows not more tlian 123 Democrats favoriLIe to unconditional repeal. Thus far the committee has been In a deadlock over a number of repeal bills, and the question has been indefinitely tabled. The enlarged committee would have a repeal majority sufficient to report a compromise bill. A third proposition is for the committee on rule to take charge of the subject and arrange for a plan for getting the question before tne House. One of these three plans will be adopted. Speaker Crisp's name is among those signed to the request for the caucus. The other names Included the leaders on the Democratic side, amon tr.em Representatives Culberson. McMlllin. Outhwalte, Cox of Tennessee, Springer, Dockery and Patterson. It Is rv'rded as significant that seven New York members Oummlngs, Coombs. Dunphy. Clancy. Warner, Tracey and Haines have signed. It has been expressly stipulated, in securing signatures to the caucus petition, that members shall not be bound by the action of the caucus. In some cases this condition has been attached to the petition by the signers. Representative Swanson. who circulated the petition, says that it Is fully understood that the caucus is to be a conference toward securing a compromise, and not a meeting binding on the Democratic majority of the House. Jerry Simpson's Cannl Scheme. WASHINGTON, April 6. Representative Simpson, of Kansas, Is preparing a Jcint resolution which he will soon submit to Congress proposing an international commission between the United States and Canada with a view to co-operation in a system of canals and waterways closely connecting the great lakes with the Atlantic ocean. Mr. Simpson, who sailed the lakes in his early days, proposes a cut from the GorgIan bay on the east shore of Lake Huron through to Lake Ontario. This cut could be made by way of Lake SImcoe and other small lake, so thit the actual cut would not be over one hundred mll?s. It would save eight hundred miles of the E resent route through the St. Clair and etrott rivers, the -entire length of Lake Krle and the Wellar.d canal. It would make almost a bee line from the upper lakes to the SL Lawrence and thence to the ocean. It Is also contemplate" that Joint action be taken on Improving1 the upper St. Laurence In order to open this lake and ocean route to the largest and most modern boats. Opposed to Tnxlittc Greenback, WASHINGTON, April 6. Representative Henderson, of Illinois, has filed In he House a minority report on the bill reportel by the majority of the committee on banking and currency to permit State and local taxation of United States legal-tender notes. The report savs that the minority of the committee Is of the opinion that this power should not be conferred. These legaltender notes are now exempt from taxation by State and municipal authority by express provision of law, and even if It has not been provided by law that they should be so exempt, the courts of the country would undoubtedly hold that such note, as credit of the government, are exempt from such taxation. The report is signed by Messrs. Henderson, of Illinois, Hroslus, Russell of Connecticut, Springer, liaugen and Johnon of Indiana. ItofIlceM for IIIsutm and Lynch. WASHINGTON, April 6.

A TKIPLE EXECUTION Three of the Oliphant Train Kobbers Hanged at Newport, Ark. All Confessed, but Claimed to Have Been Convicted on Evidence of the Man Who Planned the Crime. NEWPORT, Ark., April 6. The three train robbers J. I Wyrlck, Thomas Brady and Albert Mansker who killed conductor W. P. McNally at Oliphant, Ark., last November, were hanged here this morning. The drop fell at 7:53 and , the men were pronounced dead at 8.C5. All three nock3 were broken. The men spent the night in prayer and In preparing for death. When they found all hope was gone they confessed that the evidence adduced at their trial was correct, and that the story of the train robbery and murder as told by leorge Padgett, who turned State's evl- : .nee, was true. All three united, however, in asserting that Padgett planned the crime, drew the others into it and then deserted them when hl3 own neck was In danger. . The crime for which the men suffered death was committed on the night of Nov. 30, 1803. About 10 o'clock that night passenger train No. 51 on the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern railroad wes held up at Oliphant, a lonely flag station in Independence county, by seven masked men, who looted the express and passenger coaches. The robbers kept up a fusillade of bullets all the time the robbery was being committed, and conductor W. P. McNally. who Hrv!r attempted to defend his train, was killea by a rifle bullet. About two weeks previous to the robbery half a dozen young and well-to-do farmers disappeared from their homes near Bentonville. They rode ponies and were heavily armed. To their friends they said they were jolng to Indian Territory to buy cattle. The names of these farmers were Albert Mansker, James L. Wjrlnk. George Padgett, O. L. Truman, Pennyweight Powell and the hitter's younger brother Samuel. Under the leadership of Thomas Brady, a whHky peddler from Indian Territory, these agriculturists left their fcrms, famili?s and friends to become train robbers. Brady, Man3ker, Wyrlck and Padgett were arrested not Hong after the hold-up. Padgett turned State's evidence and is now in jail awaiting trial at the spring term of the Jackson County Court. His companions were tried in February and convicted of McNally's murder. Pennyweight Powell was captured in Dnver about a month ag. and is now in prison awaiting trial. O. L. Truman and Samuel Powell are still fugitives from Justice. Shot III Fiancee nnd Ilinifcekf. CHICAGO, April 6. Arthur Laverle. twenty-eight years of age, son of a wealthy liquor dealer, shot and killed his fiancee, Mrs. Emma Levi, to-night. The young man had been drinking heavily, and. some time ago, the father of the young woman ordered him from the house. This, as far as known, was the only cause of the trouble. Laverle, after talking pleasantly with her this, evening, shot the woman througli the heart, killing her instantly, and then, turning his revolver on himself, inflicted a wound that may prove fatal. XEfro Lynched. ATLANTA. Ga., April 6. Mrs. Chambers, of Greensboro, Ga., was assaulted there last night by a negro. This morning the negro was caught. Identified and placed In Jill.

MID TOWERING BERGS

Experience of a British Ship Among Mountains of Ice. Lord Rosebery's Cabinet in Danger of Defeat The Cruiser Nictheroy and Her Dynamite Gun. LONDON, April 6. The British ship Fulwood. Captain Lewis, which sailed from San Francisco, Nov. 7, for tjueenstown, arrived at the latter port to-day. Captain Lewis reports that on Jan. 16, in latitude 54, south, the Fulwcod entered a vast field of icebergs that had drifted from the Antarctic ocean. Some of the bergs were of gigantic size, being at least five miles long, and towering to heights of six hundred feet. At one time there were counted from the maintop of the ship 413 of these ice mountains. Sometimes some of them would drift together, crashing against each other with tremendous violence, when thousands of tons of ice would be detached and drop into the sea with thundering crashes. Had the vessel been caught between two of these colliding bergs she would have been ground to atoms. Fortunately, however, the wind held from the same direction for the four days that the Fulwood was among the bergs, and to this alone was due Its escape. Quite a heavy sea was running, and several times when the Fulwood had one of these enormous bergs close aboard she encountered a dangerous back wash. Tons of water was thrown upon her decks from the b ck wash, but. her hatches being protected by heavy tarpaulins, no water reached the cargo. The northward drift of all the bergs vai at about the same rate of speed, and Captain Lewis expressed the opinion that they would reach a much lower latitude before they would ioee their dangerous character. After four days of the most exciting experience the Fulwood dropped the bergs astern, and linally reached port without further adventure. LIIJLILVLS LOSING SUPPORT. IloMebery'M Following in the House of Common Dvriudlliiff Away. LONDON, April 6. The fate of the Rosebery Cabinet is being warmly discussed in political circles here. Last night the government was defeated by a majority of ono on a private bill, and the majorities on other questions fell off eighteen to fifteen votes. TniH is causing much excitement in the political world, and it is freely predicted that the government cannot last long. The seoond reading of the East London water bill was opposed in the Commons by Mr. Shaw-Lefevre, President of the Local Government Board, on behalf of the government, but the measure was carried in the face of vigorous efforts upon the part of the whips by a vote of 228 to 227. All the Parnellltes and many of the McCarthyltes were abeent from the division. The Conservative press comment Joyfully upon the position of the government, while the Liberal organs, such as the Dally News and Westminster Gazette, warn the Liberal party to be careful. The Times says it Is understood that at yesterday's meeting of the Cabinet the discussion was devoted to anxious consideration respecting the political outlook. After the events of the week the ministers cannot longer conceal from themselves the fact that disaster may overtake them at any moment. The Kallcals, feeling that dissolution canuot long be delayed, will Insl&t upon a definite statement as to the government's policy In regard to the House of Lords. Inasmuch as the decision of the government to demand the whole time of the House oa Tuesday was taken with the full knowledge that the step would invoke a protest from the Radicals, the belief Is freely expressed In the lobbies of the Commons that Lord Itosebery is riding for fall. The Standard publishes a similar statement, and sa3 It Is believed that the opposition would nave no difficulty In forcing a crisis If It should suit their purpose to do so. IT AVOIIKCD PERFECTLY. Ths Motlieroy'a Chief Engineer Talks About Her Dynamite Gun. SOUTHAMPTON, April 6. The steamship Mile, from Rio de Janeiro and other Brazilian ports, arrived here to-day, and brought, among her passengers, Chief Engineer G. Van Iderstine, formerly of the dynamite cruiser Nictheroy. Accompanying the chief engineer wre his assistant engineers, Alonzo Allen and Jefferson Smith, and fifty former members of the crew of the Nictheroy. Chief Engineer Van Iderstlno and his two assistants will sail for New York to-morrow. In an Interview Mr. Van Iderstine said the machine guns of the cruiser worked perfectly, and that during practice with the dynamite guns shells were thrown an immense distance with great precision. He remarked that from the moment of leaving New York the fires vi re maintained, and there was alwaj s a pressure of 160 xunds of steam. AVhen the N let hen was stationary off the coast or in harbor she was moored to a buoy, and, by simply knocking out a pin, she could be got almost Immediately under way. In fact, finally the ship was In such a state of effectiveness that only three minutes were required to get her ready for motion. The Insurgents' cause, according to Mr. Van Iderstine, was ended by the engagement in which Admiral Da (Jama lost, at the battle of Armaco, all his best officers and .about three hundred killed and wounded of the small force composing his command. The chief engineer speaks highly of the treatment received by the Americans from the Brazilian government, and says that the only dispute W2-a in regard to prize money. Altogether, Van Iderstine remarked in conclusion, they had a very pleasant trip since leaving the United States, but they would all be glad to get back heme. Kliitr Humbert at Vnlre. VENICE, April 6.-KIng Humbert arrived here at 2 o'clock this afternoon and was welcomed by enthusiastic crowds of people who surrounded the railroad station and cheered the King in a manner which evidently greatly pleased him. After the welcome at the railroad station from the civil and military authorities, the King entered a gondola of state and proceeded through the Grand canal to the palace. The King's gondola was followed by an Immense number of gondolas filled with citizens of Venice or visitors who Hocked into the city in order to bo present at the festivities. Every building along the route or any way near it was handsomely decorated, and all the windows were packed with spectators who cheered and waved handkerchiefs rnd Hags as the King passed by. I'ondolnnd Annexed by Rrttttln. CAPETOWN, April 6. The annexation of Pondoland has been effected without firing a shot. The chiefs and people of the newly annexed country are quietly submitting. This is another triumph for the so-called imperial policy of the Hon. Cecil Rhodes, the Premier of Cape Colony, and Is a most Important addition to the British domain in South Africa. For eight years pat Pondoland has been under an alleged protectorate which was the cause of considerable friction. The country just annexed is described as being one of the most deliRhtful regions in the world, though it has been the scene of considerable lawlessness and many fierce tribal fights. Pon loland has an area ot about three hundred square miles and a native iopulatioi of about 20" -OuO. The white population is very small. ' ChnnKO In Currency Policy. BERLIN, April 6. Count Von Posadow-skl-Wfchnter. Secretary of the Imperial Treasury, in the Reichstag to-day, replying to a question upon the part of a Depjty who Is aJi advocate of bimetallism, said. In regard to the intended coinage of 27 -0-,Cm. marks, tnat this did not Imply "a change in the currency policy. It was merely designed, the Secretary added, to supply the practical needs of the country. Germany could not, unaided, make experiments in regard to currency matters. The Count also said that the use of silver for bank reserves -was one means of raising the value of that metal. IlrnzIItnn Town Pillaged. BUENOS AYRES. April C Advices have reached here to the effect that federal troops have burned and pillaged San Francisco de Borja, a Brazilian town on the Uruguay river, in the State of Rio Gr.inde do Sul. The inhabitants are panic-stricken and many of them have tied to the forest to escape further outrages. The vessels of the insurgent squadron, with the exception of the Aquidaban. have forced the bar at Rio Grande do Sul and stood out to sea. It Is said that Insurgent troops are now advancing against the city of Rio Grande do Sul. Cable Notes. Extensive preparations are being made St Vienna to celebrate the meeting in that

As one thousand Spanish pilgrims are expected in Rome, the Pope has decided that the services in connection with the beatification of Juan d'Avila Diego, cf Cadiz, are to be held at St. Peters, which has not been the scene of a similar ceremony since 1870.

TO CURE INEBRIETY Remarkable Lafr Jnst Passed hy the Maryland Legislature. Confirmed Drnnkani3 or Drug: Users Who Apply to the Court to Be Cured at the State's Expense. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, April 6. Considerable Interest Is being manifested in Washington In a very remarkable piece of legislation which has become a law in the State of Maryland by enactment of the recsntly adjourned Assembly of that State. It Is known as "The Avlrett Inebriety Act," and provides that any habitual drunkard or drug user In the State wOio desires to be cured of his disease may go before any Judge of the Circuit Court of the ou:cy of his residence, or the city of Baltimore if he lives therein, and petition the court to send him to such Institution for the medical treatment of drunkenness located in the State as shall show the greatest per cent, of cures and fewest number of relapses from sworn statements filed with the Judges and Secretary of State. This practically means the Keeley institutes, of course. The author of the bill. Col. Philip W. Avlrett, of Cumberland, himself a reformed drunkard, claims ti:it while the act will involve a large expenditure of money for the first few years It is in force, that it will ultimately save the State vast sums of money, as he has collected statistics which show that GO per cent of the crimes occurring In the State of Maryland are directly trac?able to what he calls "rum offenses." The cost of each case is limited to $100, and no man can be treated the second time, but the act is mandatory' In its provisions, and compels the Judge to give the petitioner at least one chance for hia mantal and physical restoration. It Is an Interesting phenomenon that the largest liquor dealers In the State gave the bill cordial support They say In explanation of their action, that, arart from charitable consideration, they believe the law will avert radical confiscatory legislation on the Ootthenbuix or State dispensary system. Out of both branches of the Legislature only one man, a Prohibitionist, voted against the bill. Already over four hundred men have been listed for treatment, and It is expected that fully three thousand will avail themselves vf its benefits within the next two years. A peculiar feature ct the law is a clause defining drunkenness so as to include cocaine, morphia or opium users, and under the terms of this act all existing definitions of drunkenness are abolished or amended so a to include the drug user as well as the alcoholic Inebriate. The author of the bill, at the request of the Governor and other State officers, has volunteered himself to see Its provisions carried Into effect In all the counties of ths State, and in a few days this Interesting experiment will be in full operation. A number of Congressmen say if it U successful that a similar law will be pssed for the District of Columbia and the Territorie1. KEED EXPLAINS. Extract from a Tariff Speech That Was Improperly Construed. WASHINGTON, April 6. Mr. Reed has sent the following letter to C. L. Vaughan, at Hutchinson, Kan., in reply to one forwarding an extract from a speech of the former: "My Dear Sir Your favor received. I have noticed the paragraph you sent me, making Its way over the West. It was first started by a member of Congress in a speech In Denver. I was somewhat surprised when I read it, for, of course, separated from the context, it conveys an entirely Incorrect idea, The passage occurred in a short extemporaneous speech with no point elaborated. It wn when the attempt was being made to secure the aid of New England by sacrificing the Interests of the West under guise of giving New England free raw material by removing the duty on coal. Iron and wool. Of course, such a free list would be very attractive to New England. if she acted from pure selfishness. But I took occasion in a few words of Incomplete statement, but which the audience I adpressed perfectly understood, to point out how short-sighted It was for New England to accept the bribe. Already many Massachusetts manufactures had legitimately gone West, and more must do so. the coarser going first. Under these circumstancas. perfectly understood by my audience, short-sighted men were trying, by the promise of free coal, free Iron ore and free wool, to persuade New England that the coiiid monopolize the manufacturing. I pointed out to them that the legislation tendered them was foolish, that the low duties of the Wilson bill would destroy their manufactures in common with others, and that when they were once destroyed they would be rebuilt under the re-established protection nearer the market and nearer the material as cheaply as In New England. In short. If New England helped ruin the country, the ruin would be first and most complete for them on their unkindly soil. Such, In my Judgment, would be the fact, and this ruin the country cannot afford, no matter where the destroyed manufactures are. An idle factory goes to pieces In five years, and to destroy expensive plants and to throw away all the capital Involved would mean that the United States and, most of all. New England, would have to halt in its progress until all these va3t sums were re-earned and reinvested. "Manufactures are now steadily and legitimately advancing Westward and Southward under the present system, and doing po as fast as Is consistent with solid material growth. Massachusetts men and othr men are already transferring part of their capital, and In due time without shock the Western and Southern manufactories will do their full share of the manufacturing business of the country. The manufacturing of coarse cotton cloths hes already gone from New England to the South. The mighty and omnivorous West is truy great in all that will make riches and consumable wealth and, if this destruction called the Wilson bill can lie stayed, all parts of the country will prosper and capital and labor will not be wasted. "As I said to Massachusetts. I say to all other parts of the country, that enlightened selfishness teaches the doctrine of live and let live." "You will notice that the member of Congress In question. Instead of quoting the paragraph In question here in Washington, where It could be met, went three thousand miles to air it. I am surprised that any man, East or West, should deem It worth while to credit me with opposition to the Wllf-n bill because It would build up manufactures in the West, when everybody knows It will destroy all manufactures. It is the desire and expectation of protectionists that the West and South will follow or even surpass the example of New England in developing manufacturing Industries, as they are now fast doing. The Wilson bill will bring the South and West into competition In manufactures, with wage much lower th'in their wages. Instead of competition with the higher wages of New England, as now."

ALLEGED CONSPIRACY

Slavs anil Huns Claim to Have Been Tricked by Other Miners. They Say There Is a Plot to Drive j Them Out of the Coke Iiejrion 2,000 Pounds of Dynamite Stolen. UNIONTOWN, Pa., April 6. It has Just been discovered that the strikers have stolen two thousand pounds of dynamite from the new reservoir being constructed on the mountain east of Dunbar, and great destruction of property is expected. The dynamite was stolen while the workmen on the reservoir were absent th? rioters breaking open the storage house. The robbery has caused great excitement in tha coke regions, and many believe preparations are being made for a renewal of hostilities. President Davis, who is in Jail, said to-day he would not withdraw his call for a convention on Saturday, and urged the board to report at the meeting and arrange for a continuance of the strike. He, however, condemns the rioting, and says that It must be stopped. Thl3 afternoon an ugly feeling developed, and there are indications that trouble will break out anew after, If not before, the Scottdale convention to-morrow. Detective Campbell left for Bradford to-day to trace down a rumor which, If substantiated, will make the Davidson rioters liable to conviction of murder In the first degree. It Is said that before the mob left Bradford to march to Davidson they were addressed by one of their leaders, who told them to close down the Davidson works if every man employed there was killed In accomplishing that end. This is important testimony If true. If the men went to Davidson bent on murder If they were opposed, they are guilty of murder in the first degree. No one knows the name of the leader who counseled them to this act of bloodshed. The leaders of the Slavs and Huns are claiming that the strike wis the result of a conspiracy of the Irish and German elements of the region to ge the Huns expelled from the coke region, and they are diligently spreading the news to all points in the region The means by which this is to be done is the present strike. The Slavs and Huna were brought to this country under contract twelve years ago to break a strike, and since that time, the other nationalities allege, the wages of the miners and cokers have speedily declined. The only means, the other nationalities believe, of restoring the former prosperous times is by expelling the Huns Jtnd Slavs. One very marked feature of the atrike is that all the leaders of the strike and the officers of the organization are Irish, while the Irish employes of the eglon, numberin? about 1,500, refuse to take any part in the strike. The Germans also hold aloof. The Hungarians now allege that they have been led Into this strike. Incited to riot and bloodshed In order to work up a prejudice against them and causa the people to rise up and either annihilate them or expel them from the region. It is hard to explain the eudden collapse of the strike in any other way than that ihe Huns have got the Impression that they are bing imposed upon and have given up the contest. It is remarkable that a movement of such masmitude as this strike had assumed to yesterday morning should suddenly collapse. In conversation with Julius Detatrov, president of a large Slavish political club, and editor of a Slavish paper, he positively asserts that his countrymen were victims of a conspiracy, and that they were incensed at the leaders. He thought it would be well for them to keep out of their reach. He also expressed the fear that J. S. McCaleb, the banker, who failed last September, many Huns losing their savings at the time, was In danger of assassination, as threats had been made upon his life. "There is no doubt." he said. that our people have been deceived In this matter. The Irish and Germans are nnxlous to get the Slavs out of the coke regions so they will have all the work themselves. They have incited them to acts of violence, knowing that this would incense the American citizens and work up such a hatred for our people that they would be finally driven back to Hungary. Our people are led to believe that this Is a free country, and they are privileged to use violence, if necessary. In fighting the operators. Before the strike I told our people, through my paper, not to strike until the Englishspeaking people went out first. I explained to them that they were not citizens and should not go out first. I also advised them to abstain from violence In case the strike was declared." Banker McCaleb Is still In town and says he doe3 not fear any trouble. His creditors, he says, understand that his failure was not brought about for the purpose of defrauding them, but was simply the result of the hard times and they will do him no personal harm. The news of the threats on his life have created a sensation here. He Is very popular, and every one believes him to be thoroughly honest. In case of a riot he will not be deserted by his friends. John MeSloy. vice president of the Miners District Union, was captured to-night by county detective Frank Campbell, at the house of Barney Conners, on the Leisenring road, between Connellsvllle and Uniontown. He was found In bed sound asleep and was wakened and brought to Uniontown, where ho was placed In the county jail charged with the murder of Joseph Paddock. . SPLIT IP THE BACK. Democrats In Maryland Seem to De Dissatisfied. Baltimore sun (Dem.) The Democratic party Is being ambushed by a few bosses Next November It will Inevitably pay the penality of their betrayal. The special Interests that have leagued together to decoy It from allegiance to tne people will not save it In the coming congressional elections. The Populists will greedily swallow the income tax concession, but they will remain Populists. And the young men. who were the strength of the Democratic reform campaign of 1S32. cannot be rallied to the defense of a party whose pledges of reform have been, scattered to the winds by the bosses, whose supremacy means their own ostracism from public life. There Is a grave mr.tter for reflection In this situation for all patriotic Democrats. The bosses are In command for the moment but the ground is cracking under their feet. There is mutiny in New York and New Jersey. There are ominous signs of a Republican reaction and a Democratic revolt in all the boss-ridden States. And in the State of Maryland the atmosphere is heavy with dissatisfaction. Our young men are shut out from the opportunities of public service that properly belongs to them. A few men have acquired control of the avenues of political promotion. They are net the true leaders of the State. Their intellectual and moral standards ar not representative of what Is hla:he?t and most jktriotlc in Maryland. They have built up their own fortunes by making a business of orfiee-brokerage at the expense of the public interests. They have constructed a machine every wheel and cog whereof has been selected to make their own gTin on local legislation as fir?n a3 po;ible: Every office of any consequence Is filled by one cf their pliant creatures. And It apppars for the time being to run smoothly. But public spirit Is not de.d here any more than In N?w York. The honest, hlghmlnded men of this State will yet brenk the bonds of boss;.-,m. Local pride and the worthy ambition of our young citizens will yet have to be rckoned with fi a vital factor In the public affairs cf Maryland, and the sooner it is made possible for hr really representative young men to enter political life nnd give their enthusiasm to ?ier service, without beeomlnsr cringing henchmen and subservient vassals of the bosses, the b?tter it w'!I be. Itosebery's Best Characteristic. W. T. Stead, in Review of Hevlsws. The best characteristic of Lord Rosebe Is the least known and It is one of which I hesitate to wri!e. It wculd. lirvever. be wrong to tht public to refrain from calling attention to the fact that although Ird Rosebery does not read leusons In his parish church, he la as much dem'nat'd by the re! I clous intlnct a3 Mr. Gladstone himself. No one Is more conscientious among lay or clerical statesmen of our day. No one. not even Mr. Gladstone himself, scrutinizes more closely the moral aspects of all his policies and all his acts. No one would claim Lord Rosebery as one of the conventional ecclesiastical Christians of his day. But so far as fearing God rnd working righteousness goes there are few who dwell so much In th?lr Takmirter'g ey e as the young peer upon whom has descended the mantle of Mr. Gladstone.

Slowly I got better but was confined to my bed. A physician said I had a Pelvic Abscess In My Side. After an operation I did not improve, the abscess continuing to discharge even rooro freely than before. In two months time three operations were performed and tubes Inserted to carry off the Impurities, but all in vain. Finally it was decided that my life depended upon another operation and that I must bo removed to the hospital. About three weeks previous to this I had noticed an advertisement In the Pnlly News of a ease where Hood's Sirsaparilla had curel a boy somewhat similarly afflicted In Trenton, N. J., and I decided to give it a trial. When the time decided upon for me to go to the hospital arrived I had been taking Hood's Sar6aparlila about two weeks. I Was Getting Better and the abscess liad already began to discharge less freely. I felt stronger and had a terrible appetite. Previous to this I had civen up to die. When I had taken the second bottle I was ablo to sit up and accordingly I was not t3ken to the hospital and the final operation was deferred. Now I have taken six bottles end the abscess has entirely healed. I am well and go every where. My friends think It Is a miracle to hnvo me restored to them again so healthy and even younger In looks than before my sickness. I Feel Better Than Ever I did In my life and weigh over 130 pounds, the heaviest in iny lU'e. I do a big day's work and am gaining in strength every day.

Nellie Taylor May Die from an Assault by Pearl Brewer. Pearl Brewer, an Inmate of Nellie Long's resort, on Georgia street, near Mississippi street, dashed a glass pitcher over the head of another young woman known as Nell Taylor, about 12:30 this morning. The Taylor woman Is in a delicate condition, and It was feared that the shock would prove fatal. The Taylor woman, who had been living with her parents on Hermann street, came to the resort last night to board. Early in the evening she went out to Join her lover. On her return the Brewer woman asked if he she had been out with "Will." as one of the other Inmates had told the Brewer woman that Nell Taylor had gone out to spend the evening with "Will." An affirmative reply was received. The Brewer woman thought that Nell Taylor had gone out with Miss Brewer's lover, and in a moment of anger she brought the pitcher down on the unfortunate woman's head. She then escaped. The police surgeon and several doctors were summoned, and they thought perhaps the woman would die from shock. Another Gay Deceiver. "Pray, what's your opinion of Grover, My dear Miss Columbia, say?
