l>out eighty postofflees in his jurisdiction and a large number of star routes. One or the plans agreed upon by the postoffice officials is to have u couple of mail steamers to circumnavigate the island, drop off and take on mall at all the ports. Captain Elliott was at the department to-day in con sultation with officers having the Cuban and Porto Rican postal system under their special care. He will leave for home to-morrow and remain there about a week closing up his business for a prolonged absence, after which he will return to Washington for final Instructions. Captain Elliott’s appointment is for no specified term, but the position is doubtless good for several years. The captain succeeds a Georgian postoffice inspector by the name of Robinson, who has been quarreling with his superiors ever since he landed on the island. Captain Elliott's appointment was secured through the urgency of First Assistant Postmaster General Heath and Senator Fairbanks, and is regarded by the Indiana Republican delegation as a deserved recognition of valuable political services and personal merit. THE \EW (At AI, SYNDICATE. Representatives of the Grace Company Given a Hearing. WASHINGTON. Jan. 18.—What is known as the Grace-Cragin-Eyre syndicate, organized to construct the Nicaragua canal, had a hearing to-day before the House committee on commerce. The syndicate was represented by Mr. Edward F. Cragin, of Chicago, 111., who has been one of the most active figures in the organization; David McClure, of New York, attorney for the syndicate, and Frank S. Washburn, consulting engineer. Colonel McClure made the opening statement, showing the standing of the syndicate by reading a list of the financiers constituting it. The list includes Messrs. John J. Astor. I.evi P. Morton, Robert Goelet, W. R. Grace, John D. Crimmins, John A. McCall, E. R. Ladue. Warner Miller. W. B. Sloan and many others prominent in banking and financial circles. The.se gentlemen, Colonel McClure stated, h#d not emhark and on any sentimental project; they had examied Into the entire question from u strictly business standpoint. They were satisfied with the practicability of an isthmian waterway and believed that the concession of Nicaragua to the old Nicaragua Canal Company was about to expire, going out of existence under the terms of the concession on Oct. 9 next. They determined, therefore, to take up the matter where it was likely to be left when the old concession ended. With this end in view the syndicate had gone to Nicaragua and secured a contract for a concession which was to come into existence in October when the old concession terminated. Chairman Hepburn asked if this concession came into existence next October, under the terms of the contract, without further action. Colonel McClure answered that no further action W'hs necessary in creating the concession beyond the details of the contract. The contract created a present interest, to begin like certain leases, in the future. Mr. Hepburn asked if the government of Nicaragua could not. prior to the termination of the old concession, renew it for a further term. Colonel McClure declared that this could not be done and he pointed out from Article 41 of the contract with the Nicaraguan government that the new syndicate was to have exclusive rights. Mr. Stewart asked if this was not a violation of the terms of the old concession, which provided for a renewal. Colonel McClure did not i 'insider it a violation, as he said the spirit of the old concession was that v ork should progress steadily. But the officers of the old company conceded, he said, that no work had been done since 1803, and. in fact, no work had been done since 1889-90, so that, he contended, the work had not proceeded with ordinary diligence, and it was but natural to expect that Nicaragua would hold that the spirit of the old concession was not observed. He said he had no controversy with the old company, but his statement was in response to questions on the old'"concession. The legal rights of Nicaragua to terminate the old concession was discussed pro and con between Colonel McClure and members of the committee, the questions of the members indicating a belief that there was doubt as to the right to end the concession, while Colonel McClure maintained that Nicaragua had the right, and had, in fact, acted "n ‘.his right. In answe> a question he said that while it wa phy ically possible that Nicaragua might c nitlr.ue the old concession and combat the new’ one. yet it was not to be supposed that a government would play thus fast and loose. Colonel McClure said the syndicate would meet the government just as the government wishes, he said, without combating any other company. When asked how soon the funds would be forthcoming and w r ork begun, Colonel McClure said: “In three years we will have communication from ocean to ocean. In a letter to the President the president of the company states that $20,000,001 will l>e spent at once. We will have results In three years, instead of ten years of time to ask for renewals." In reply to questions, Colonel McClure ■tated that the syndicate had paid SK’I.OCO to Nicaragua and had agreed to pay $400,000 more in six months. He regarded the new concession much more advantageous than the old one. as it was in perpetuity, and also because it gave rights or control and police for five miles on either side of the route.

Payne Likely to Be Floor Leader of the House. WASHINGTON. Jan. 18.—There is no doubt that the chairmanship of the ways and means committee made vacant by the death of Mr. Dinglcy. will he filled by Speaker Reed at the present session, without waiting for the next Congress, and that the new chairman will be Representative S. E. Payne, of New York. The appointment is likely to be announced within the next few days. The ranking member of tho ways and means committee is Mr. Payne, and while this is not decisive, it establishes a strong presumption that Mr. Payne will be ohos>-n. N< xt to him on the committee is Mr. Dalzeli, of Pennsylvania, who is at present absent from the city, but whose friends of the Pennsylvania delegation stated to-day that they believed he would not enter into competition for the chairmanship as against Mr. Payne. Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, next In rank to Mr. Dalzeli. is considered debarred from the chairmanship by reason of the. important chairmanships which the Illinois delegation already enjoys. Aside from the personal question, some doubt has existed as to the purpose of Speaker Reed to act at all at the present session, as such a short time remained of the session that it was thought he would leave the determination of the matter until the new Congress assembled. But there is no further doubt on that point, and the chairmanship will be filled at the present session. Mr. Payne entered Congress fifteen years ago, and let served continuously with the exception ofithe Fiftieth Congress. He took an active interest in tariff work and assisted in framing the McKinley and Dinglcy bills and the war revenue bill. By virtue of the chairmanship, Mr. Payne will also become the floor leader of the House. ♦ LACKS MEN AND SHIPS. Secretary Long; Cannot Re-Establish Naval Stations Abroad. WASHINGTON. Jan. 18.—With much regret Secretary Long has discovered that he will be unable for an indefinite period to carry out his project for the re-establish-ment of the United States naval stations abroad, which were abandoned before the war. The reason is sweeping: A lack of ships, officers and enlisted men. This will be a distinct disappointment to some of the officers of higher rank, who were confident of obtaining commands of squadrons, but from present appearances the department will not be able to send a single ship to serve as a basis of either the European, or the South Atlantic squadrons. It is belie.ved to be absolutely essential to maintain the North Atlantic squadron in good condition and at full strength for reasons of sound international policy, but Admiral Sampson will sail for the southern cruise with a less numerous and formidable force than was commanded by Admiral Bunce when he served in a like capacity. To make ready the Newark for this cruise, the department was obliged to put the Dixie out of commission, and thus to abandon its purpose of making a very much needed survey of the Cuban coast. There is only one vessel, the Philadelphia, on the whole western coast of the United States, tn withstanding the great interests there exposed, and the department sees no way at present of improving that condition. No Financial Legislation. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18—The House committee on banking and currency definitely decided to-day to make no further effort at this session to urge the measure for currency and banking revision, known us the McCleary bill. At the meeting to-day Mr. Mitchell, of New York, moved to formally report the bill to the House. This motion was tabled. 7 to 5. which was accepted as decisive that no further action on the general measure would be taken. The committee then considered two other bills, that of Mr. Mitchell for establishing a currency and redemption division of the treasury, and that of Mr. Brosius. of Pennsylvania, embodying the President’s currency recommendations; but final action was not reached. Court-Martial Sentence Disapproved. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—Capt. George V. Lane, Eighth Illinois "Volunteer Infantry, was recently found guilty by a cOurtmartial convened at San Luis, Cuba, of failing to resist mutiny, in violation of the twenty-third article of war. and of conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline. in violation of the sixty-second article of war, and was sentenced to he dismissed from the service of the United States. The record in this case having been submitted to the President, he disapproved the findings and sentence on the ground “that the evidence concerning the charges on which the accused was convicted were very conflicting and failed to establish his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Col. •!. A. Sexton's Condition. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—Col. James A. Sexton, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, who has been ill for some time, is in a serious condition, and his friends are alarmed as to the outcome. His illness started from an attack of the grip, which superinduced kidney trouble and other complications. Mrs. Sexton reached the city to-day from Chicago in response to dispatches informing her of the colonel's condition. The latter has been removed to Garfield Hospital, where he is receiving the best of attention. New Firms Must Pay Tux. WASHINGTON. Jan. 18.—The commissioner of internal revenue has held that where new partners are taken into a firm, thereby dissolving the old firm and creatin anew partnership, the new firm thus created cannot carry on business under the special tax stamp of the old firm. It must make return and pay its own special tax reckoned from the first of the month in which it began business. No rebate will be allowed on account of the special tax •stamp of the old iirm. New Exttadltion. Treaty. WASHINGTON. Jan. 18.—The President has sent to the Senate anew extradition treaty between this country and Brazil. It was referred to the committee on foreign relations and at to-day’s meeting of that committee was taken up and referred to a subcommittee. The treaty is a formal document. providing for the exchange of persons charged with offenses on the usual lines. Geuernl Notes. WASHINGTON. Jan. IS.—To-day’s statement of the condition of the treasury shows: Available cash balance, 1292,139,083; gold Senator Nelson to-day introduced a bill providing that trade between the United States and Porto Rico and also between ports in Porto Rico and adjacent islands ceded to the United States shall be carried on in American vessels. natcr Deboo to-day introduced a joint resolution, providing for the appointment of a congressional commission to decide upon the advisability of establishing a national soldiers’ home at Abraham Lincoln’s birthplace in Kentucky. The National Pure Food and Drug Congress. which is to continue for several days, met here to-day, the president, Mr. Joseph E. Blackburn, of Ohio, calling the body to order. The Senate committee on foreign relations to-day agreed to a favorable report upon the nomination of Hon. Joseph H. Choate, to be ambassador to Great Britain. The President and Mrs. McKinley gave the second of their evening receptions at the White House to-night. Mule of Painting*. NEW YORK. Jan. 18.—The first sale of the paintings selected from the art gallery of the late Daniel W. Powers, of Rochester, was begun in Chiekering Hall to-night.

Rosa Bonheur carried off the honors of the evening. Her painting. ’’The Choice of t4ie Flock.” brought the highest price, $4,209. and went to Isidor Wormser, jr., who won in the competitive bidding for the work, which was the most spirited of the evening. Mr. Woimser also bought a small picture, entitled "Girl Reading.” by Meyer von Bremen, for $2,000. Obituary. NORFOLK, Va.. Jan. 18.-Mr. H.

MR. CHAMBERLAIN AGAIN - - HE SEES FRESH SIGNS OF YNGLOAMERICAN GOOD FEELING. A Noteworthy Part, lit* Snyr, NVa* llie Support Given Britain in Her Protest Against French Aggression. ♦ I/INDON, Jan. 18.—Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, speaking this evening at the banquet of. the Wolverhampton Chamber of Commerce, reviewed at great length the various threatening foreign questions confronting the government. Jn connection with the withdrawal of the French demand for an extension of the settlement at Shanghai, Mr. Chamberlain congratulated his hearers that Great Britain’s opposition to the French proposal had been strenuously supported by the representative of the United Stubs. “That I think,” he said, “is a significant and noteworthy fact. Nay, I think and hope it will become history. It shows that circumstances are bringing about the community of interests between AngloSaxons, which, in the future, may have farreaching and beneficent results.” He welcomed the (hanging tone on the part of France, declaring that if the French government desired an amicable settlement of all remaining difficulties Great Britain would meet France more than half way. In concluding, Mr. Chamberlain paid a high tribute to the success of Lord Salisbury's foreign policy, remarking: “It is cause for satisfaction that two great nations, Germany and the United States, both protectionists at home, have proclaimed their intention to adhere to the principle of the ‘open door’ in their foreign possessions. We shall regard their expansion without jealousy and shall welcome their co-opera-tion, and I think, without being too sanguine, we may rely upon their sympathy and assistance in securing the general adoption of a principle to which we attach so much importance.” “HARRY' THE VALET” SENTENCED. Seven Year* In Prison for Robbing; the Duches* of Sutherland. LONDON, Jan. 18.—Johnson, alias “Harry, the Valet,” who is considered to be one of the cleverest jewelry thieves in Europe, and who was arrested in London on Nov. 28, with a man named Lippmann, having in their possession a considerable quantity <f the jewelry stolen from the Dowager Duchess of Sutherland early in October last, on board a train running between Paris and Calais, was sentenced to-day to seven years’ penal servitude. “Harry the Valet” pleaded guilty to stealing the Duchess of Sutherland's jewelry, and the judge postponed sentence to enable him to inform the police as to what became of the bulk of the jewels, of which only J2SOO worth out of £25,000 of jewelry contained in the stolen satchel was recovered. The prisoner, however, informed the judge that he would not betray his companions if he got a life sentence. He also boasted that he had made twenty bigger “hauls” than in the ease of the Sutherland jewels, and claimed to have reduced robbery to a science, making it his business to. know everybody of wealth and consequence in Europe. The police showed that “Harry the Valet” lost several thousand pounds in one week at a gambling club; that he had the most lordly tastes and lived in great style at a West End hotel. He was betrayed in the Sutherland affair by a former actress, to whom he was apparently devoted.

A M ERICA NS ASSAULTED. \ i*ltors to Ruined Mo*|ue Attacked by n Fanatic. LONDON, Jan. 18.—The Calcutta correspondent of the Times says: “Last Friday an American visitor and. his wife w r ere viewing the ruins of a mosque at Indrapat. A native, who had been crouching in the balcony, suddenly dashed at them with a frantic yell and aimed a blow at the gentleman with a thick club. The American warded off the blow and a severe tussle ensued, lasting several minutes. The lady struck the native across the head with her umbrella, w’hereupon he turned and hurled her down the steps, then reattacking tho husband, who, though quite unarmed, managed to keep the ruffian at bay. The cries of the lady brought a crowd of natives, who did not interfere until the husband had overpowered and disarmed the assailant. The American was roughly handled, and narrowly escaped being thrown over the balcony to the pavement beneath. His wife's head was cut by the fall down the steps. The fanatic was arrested and feigns insanity.” Rhode* As*i*t Bishop Hartnell. LONDON, Jan. IS.—The Rev. Dr. Joseph C. Hartzell, of Cincinnati, the Methodist Episcopal bishop of Africa, who left New York for Europe on Jan. 4 last, sails from Liverpool on Saturday for Africa. He had a long conference yesterday with Cecil Rhodes, and he has been granted concessions of lands and buildings and has been promised co-operation in their development, especially in establishing industrial missions among the natives. Mr. Rhodes has invited Bishop Hartzell and Mrs. Hartzell to visit him at his Rhodesian home, “Groot Sehurr,” situated a short distance from Cape Town, in July next. Discussing Anglo-American relations, Mr. Rhodes said: “What we want is an intertwining of mutual interests in the interest of humanity upon the part of the Englishspeaking peoples throughout the world, whereby we can prevent war. We want universal peace.” German Court Reception. BERLIN, Jan. 18.—The court reception to-night was a very brilliant affair. The Emperor and Empress were very cordial to wards the members of the United States embassy, and the Empress conversed at length with Mrs. White, wife of the United States ambassador, condoling with her on the loss of her mother. Mrs. White, who naturally was in the deepest mourning, was obliged, on this occasion, owing to court etiquette, to doff her black. She wore pearl gray satin, trimmed with Venetian lace, a corsage of silver embroidery and pearls and a court train. Airs. Stiles, wife of Prof. Stiles, the United States scientific attache, were pale yellow satin and duchess lace, with silver embroidery and a pink, satin lined train of gros grain velours, rose colored. with applique embroidery and silver. She attracted much attention. Chief Mayor Kerschner, of Berlin, although still lacking the Emperor's confirmation in his office, was invited to attend. Murdered ly Neatorinn*. LONDON, Jan. 19.—The Daily Mail publishes the following from its St. Petersburg correspondent: "Tho Holy Synod, which last year established a Russian spiritual mission at Urmia (Ooroomeyah). a fortified town of North Persia, for the benefit of the Nestorian sect, has just learned that the priest. Sinadeki. placed in charge of tho mission, lias been murdered by the Nestorians. M. Pobiedonostfe, procurator general of tho Holy Synod, has demanded satisfaction from the Persian government.” Russian* May Tnke Herat. LONDON. Jan. 19.—The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Daily Mail says: “In the event of disturbances following upon the death of the Ameer of Afghanistan, the Russian General Boguljuboff, Governor of the trans-Caspian district, who has a force of 20.000 men, has direct instructions to take Herat (360 miles west of Cahul and a post of great military importance.)

NAVAL OFFICERS TALK. (uptiiin* Evan* and Taylor Discus* the YVr nnd It* Result*. NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—The Yonkers Board of Trade had its fourth annual dinner at the Hollywood Inn to-night. It was a war banquet. The principal speakers were Captains Robiey I>. Evans and H. C. Taylor, who c mmancUct the lowa and r.diana curing the war; Colonel Charles 3. Diehl, assistant general manager of the Associated Press, who was in general charge of that association’s war news service in and around Cuba and prominent local men, who ao-o spoke on war topics. President E. K. Martin, of the Board of Trade, presided. The first toast, "The Officers and Men of the United States Navy, ’ was responded to by Captain Evans, who, in tho course of his speech, said tKt. long before war was declared every man in the navy felt that war existed. The fapanis.i had blown up a ship for us, and deny ir who might, way down in our hearts wa fought and whipped the Spanish because they blow up the Maine. Captain Taylor said the coasts must be protected and our interests outside of home waters looked after. Somewhere on the south coast of Cuba the country would have to locate a naval base fitted for big events. The war had a great bearing on the construction of the canal from ocean to ocean. The canal would have to be built as a commercial and naval necessity, and when built it must be guarded for the w'orld by the United States. The war opened the field for us, and it would be our own fault if we did not take advantage of what we had gained. The Philippines had been won for us by Admiral Dewey, and the speaker had every confidence that the government would do what was right and wise. We had reached out and our future naval base would not be the coast of California. It had been a brisk war, and every man in the navy felt satisfied because that which had to be done was done quickly and done well. Colonel Diehl, in responding to the toast, “The Newspaper Fleet in the War,” told of t he work of getting the news from the front. He said that while the war strategists were scrutinizing the maps at Washington, the news gatherers were compelled to give equal study as to how the news of possible events growing out of the war with Spain was to be covered.

IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE KISHOP RADEMACIIEH BOWED DOWN WITH DEBT OP OTHERS. Father Ilyrnc, of Fort Wa>;ne t athcd* rnl. Explain* the Diocesan Finances—Other State News. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FORT WAYNE, Ind., Jan. IS.—Rev. Father Byrne, who has charge of the Fort Wayne Cathedral, in an interview regarding Bishop RaJemacher's affairs, says the entire debt is on the cathedral congregation, for which Bishop Rademacher is in no way responsible. There is an Incumbrance of SfO.OCX) on Library Hall, a public building adjacent to the cathedral, and which was erected seventeen years ago, by Vicar General Brnmmer, who died recently, and a balance of <45,000 duo on cathedral improvements made two years ago. Aside from these two items, which amount to <105,000. the debts of the congregation are insignificant. The statement concerning the bishop’s debt to his parishioners, the reverend gentleman says, is not true; that the bishop never did a banking business, but whatever moneys he has in trust are ready all times to be paid. It has been the intention for some time to refund all these sums, and the bishop intended to return all of it next week, as well as the borrowed money, as the rate of interest he paid on the latter was too high. Father Bathe, chancellor of the diocese, stated this morning that whatever money had been borrowed by the bishop was received through regular borrowing channels, and money held in trust was never applied to diocesan or congregational purposes, but was held subject to demand at any time. This is true, at present, of all such moneys in the diocesan treasury. He also stated that, besides the cathedral square in this city, there is valuable property elsewhere in the diocese worth many times the total dent. Very Rev. A. B. Oehtering, of Mishawaka, Ind., dean of the diocese and chief member of the board of council, says the Episcopal residence has at no time served as a bank, neither have deposits been received there. The bishop, after a recent meeting of the board, was prostrated and his mental faculties affected. A peculiar state of affairs has existed for several years, being the result, it is said, of the management by Very Rev. Brammer, rector of the cathedral, now deceased. Improvements in the cathedral to the extent of $4.3,000 were made, and there was expended for the library $63,000. This is simply an incumbrance on the cathedral property, and does not concern the diocese at large. Rev. Brammer, it is said, kept no books and never made a. statement of the financial condition to his parishioners. Rev. Jchn H. Guendling, on being appointed to succeed Rev. Brammer, refused to take charge until he was enabled to give the congregation an account of its indebtedness. This precipitated a crisis, and, on learning of the debt of $106,000. Bishop Rademacher collapsed. It is not his debt, nor were churches and schools built from the above amount. The late Bishop Dwenger’s secretary, now in California, was first in error, it is alleged, by assuming educational expenses of too many seminaries, contrary to diocesan regulations. There are no importunate depositors, simply creditors, fully secured. Late this afternoon Dr. Dinnen announced that the bishop w'as slightly improved. There are no new developments. GAS BELT MEETING. Well-Known Business Men Decide to Protect Gas Supply. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCTE.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Jan. 18. The Council last night voted 15 to 4 to prepare a bill to be introduced in the Legislature for a special charter for this city. A special committee reported that it would effect a saving anti that city work would be done in a more satisfactory manner. The committee was instructed to prepare a bill, but there is really no sincere purpose to secure the legislation. That is admitted by those who are on the inside, but the people of the city have suddenly become strongly convinced that there should be some change in the government of Terre Haute to bring about a saving to the taxpayers and establishing a more responsible form of government. This demand was stimulated by the recent increase in the tax rate to $1.22. The committee reported that “under existing circumstances” it might endanger the passage of anew charter if it changed the police department at once, and that it should he provided that the clause conferring the power of appointment on the mayor should not go into effect until the expiration of the term of Mayor Steeg in 1902. This means that the Democratic majority in the Council fears that otherwise the Republicans would defeat the law at Indianapolis, for the reason that the present Police Board appointed by the Governor is Republican, whereas if Mayor Steeg made the appointments he would appoint a majority of Democrats. Nonauion Men lieu ten. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. REDKEY. Ind., Jan. 18.—First blood in the Redkey Glass Company’s strike was shed yesterday, when David McGibbens and his two sons. Albert and Huckle, together with William Segraves and John Shoemaker, attempted to go to work at noon. They were set upon by the striking glass blowers and gatherers and pretty roughly handled, but finally made their escape. The company has made two or three unsuccessful attempts to start its plant, but so far has failed. Blowers have been brought in here from Pittsburg, but on learning the situation they refused to work and some have departed. It is hard to tell just now where the trouble will end. as' the local and county authorities have refused to aid the company in starting its plant. Warrants were sworn out for the participants in Tuesday’s riot and several arrests were made this morning. B. L. French, chairman of the strikers' organization, says the managers have asked to meet the strikers’ committee and that he thinks a settlement is near at hand. A Confessed Embezzler.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSONVILLE. Ind.. Jan. 18.-Some of the more superstitious members of the One-hundred-and-sixty-flrst Indiana are constantly in dread that some calamity will befall the regiment. The reason for this is because almost every important order received by the regiment has been either on Friday or on the 13th day of the month. On July 13 the regiment was mustered into the United States service. Aug. 13 found them on their way to Jacksonville. On Friday*. Oct. 21, the regiment received orders to proceed to Savannah, and on Dee. 13 was ordered to Havana. In the face of these facts there has not been a more favored regiment in the service. The health of the. beys has been exceptionally g<od and but very few deaths have occurred since they have been in the service. Easy to Find llie Lyncher*. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SCOTTSBURG, Ind., Jan. 18.—Since the failure of the grand jury to discover any trace of the persons who engaged in th3 recent lynching here the people are alarmed and afraid to publicly’ express themselves on the affair. A large majority believe it would not take a very’ shrewd detective to run the guilty* parties to earth, but no reward is offered and no one cares to work on such a dangerous job for nothing. It is generally believed that the investigation just finished will be sunplemented wfith secret work and that the lynchers will y*et be brought to justice. Suit Against Alleged WhltecHp*. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BLOOMINGTON. Ind., Jan. 18.-A sensational suit was filed in the Circuit Court to-day against well-known farmers in the southeast part of the county by John O.

Webster, of Indianapolis, president of the Chester Oil Company, was here yesterday and admitted that his company had sold out to the Standard Oil Company. The price is said to be $26,000. This sale seems to add greater strength to the story that the fight to the death is on between the big syndicate and the Cudahys and many more sales are said to be in prospect. Producers now selling to the Cudahys can consider themselves in luck, for the Standard has the wherewithal to put an end to the Chicago people’s supply. llurri* Found Guilty.

A little watchfulness—a suggestion now and then and a little of a good general remedy always at hand may save her husband’s life. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is a remarkable remedy for hard working men and women. In a certain sense, it is a cure-all. for the reason that it goer, down to bed-rock and cures the disorders that are responsible for the majority of serious illnesses. It strengthens the stomach, and makes the appetite keen and hearty. It invigorates the liver. It aids the natural processes of secretion ar.d excretion. It makes the assimilation of the food perfect. It purifies the blood and fills it with the life-giving elements that build new* and healthy flesh tissue. It tones the nerves. It is the great bloodmaker and flesh-builder. It cures 98 per cent, of all cases of bronchial, throat and kindred affections, which, if neglected, lead up to consumption. It is also an unfailing remedy for all nervous disorders. An honest dealer will not urge a substitute. “ Last winter I took sick with what the doctors called la grippe,” writes Mrs. Sarah Farley, of Fairfax, Atchison Cos., Mo. “ Was sick for about four months and nothing that I took seemed to do me any good. My friends thought I had consumption. I coughed up blood for a long while, and nearly gave up all hope of ever getting well. I heard of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery and thought I would try it. I had not finished the first bottle wheu I began to get better. I have taken two bottles of the * Golden Medical Discovery ’ and one of the ‘ Favorite Prescription ’ and feel better than ever before in my life." yrtPlk NATIONAL prt Tube Works w. • \ fisM WrouKht-lron Pne for Gas, W Steam and Water, & • I Boiler Tubes, Cast and WMgBgL Malleable Iron Fitting# MMa-jBK-ijiink. < black and galvanized), Raral,''>Valves.

STEAMER ALESIA DISABLED. Signaled for Assistance, But Tugs Could Not Find Hep. QUEENSTOWN, Jan. 18.—The German steamer Alesia, of the Hamburg-American line, which sailed from Hamburg on Dec. 27 for Boston, was sighted off Kinsale to-day and signaled that her rudder was damaged and that the vessel was working very badly. The captain asked that a tug and a pilot be sent to the assistance of the steamer, and these were subsequently dispatched from this port. The tugs returned later in the day without having been able to find her. The increasing force of the gale made It necessary for the tugs to seek shelter here. It is thought the Alesia will not approach the Irish coast during the present weather and may be forced up the channel. Movements of Steamer*. NEW YORK.

I have always assiduously abstained from all other forms of stimulants, including tobacco, and hence could easily localize the cause for the numerous abnormal symptoms I became subject to. I grew nervous and irritable, became easily excited and experienced a decided loss of memory, together with many other symptoms, indicating an unduly stimulated nervous system. My appetite was poor, sight deficient, bowels irregular. Like thousands of others, I could not bring myself to believe that my favorite btv rage was the cause of my abnormal c :n. ditlons. About a year ago a package of Postum Cereal came to my office, and 1 concluded to try it. 1 was very much disappointed with the trial, the liquid being light-colored, weak and insipid. It lacked the strong flavor I had been so long accustomed to. I concluded, however, I would have to cultivate a taste for It, and hence persisted in drinking the almost tasteless mixture for several weeks, until finally I became disgusted with it and quit it. I noticed, however, an improvement in my nervous symptoms. Shortly after this my attention was called to your specific announcement as to the length of time the mixture should boil. I took the subject up again, following the directions explicitly, and the result was truly gratifying The color, the aroma, the taste and everything (except the nerveracking stimulant) was there, and I was completely satisfied. The nervous symptoms entirely went, and all other abnormal conditions vanished. The experience in my own case naturally led to a conclusion as to th® cause of the disorders with many of my patients, and I have had occasion In numerous cases to insist upon the abandonment of coffee entirely and the substitution of Postum Food Coffee, with highly gratifying results.
