Dut the Knler, Having Entered Into an ARrremriit with Hrltaln, May Decline to Accept the Offer. BERLIN'. Dec. 1. President Castro, of Venezuela, handed, probably on Thursday last, to tfie German minister at Caracas, a written acceptance of part of Germany's claims. This government attributes President Castro's yielding to the fact that he has become aware that the United States would not Interpose any obstacle to the forcible collection of the claim of Germany and Great Britain. President Castro tried by every means to keep Great Britain and Germany apart In discussing the settlement. Intimating or promising first one thing and then another. Germany, having entered into a general agreement with Great Britain to exact a settlement Jointly, will not make a separate agreement. Consequently, the two powers may yet conclude It necessary to disregard President Castro's qualified offers and present an ultimatum to Venezuela. The German cruisers Amazone, Ariadne and Nlobe continue fitting out at Kiel for prolonged absence. The vh-vr In naval quarters is that the cruisers will be sent to the West Indies irrespective of "the Venezuelan affair, hence it is believed they will sail even though President Castro may yield. It is understood the squadron will touch at the Azores and thence go to St. Thomas, where It will receive Commodore Scheder's Instructions. This is the commodore's first command promising action beyond routine sea duties. He is reputed to be a cool, sensible man who. will do nothing hastily. Hanker Sellgnian Rebuffed. WASHINGTON", Dec. l.-Isaac M. Sellgman. of New York, called at the State Department to broach his project for floating a Venezuelan loan, having been referred to the department by the President, whom he saw in connection with the matter last Saturday and again yesterday. Secretary Hay not having returned to Washington Mr. Sellgman stated his proposition to Dr. Hill, who was acting as secretary. Neither of the parties to the conference cared to make any statement as to what took place, but it is known that the State Department has not changed its attitude as to the undesirability of embarklng upon a policy that might Involve it in I the financial troubles of the South America republic. It Is regarded at this time as especially desirable to avoid endangering the relations which this government now enjoys with President Castro, who, it has every reason to believe. Is about to do full justice to all American interests in Venezuela. LONDON, Dec. 1. In view of the apparent misundertamung that prevails In some quarters of the United States with regard to Banker S-.lgmans mission to Washington, it 13 stated here there is no desire on the part of the Venezuela delegation that the United States should offer any guarantee whatsoever. No such suggestion had been made on its behalf nor is that idea palatatl? to the Interests which set the present movement on foot. There was no further motive in the matter than was stated in the previous dispatches from London, namely: To acquaint the Washing- ' ton authorities of the suggested plan of settlement, so that in case any European power in the meantime took aggressive measures th; State Department would be In possession of information regarding Venezuela's intentions.

BOTH CAME FROM CHINA AMERICAN INDIAN AND TTIE ASIATIC ESKIMO ARE KIN. They Are of Chinese Descent, According to Findings of the Jesup North Pacific Expedition. NEW YORK. Dec. 1. After spending two years In East Arctic Siberia, making a study of the strange tribes that Inhabit its bleak shores, Prof. Waldemar Jochelson has returned to New York and made a report to the American Museum of Natural History that is considered one of the most Important ever filed with the department of anthropology of that or any similar institution. Morris K. Jesup conceived the idea In 1806 that the question could be settled whether the American Indian was of Asiatic origin or not whether he came to this part of the hemisphere from across Bering straits, or landed on these shory from some other parts of the earth. He gave $50.000 to-the American Museum of Natural History for the study of the mysterious East Arctic Siberian tribes, with this point chiefly In view. What was known as the Jesup . North Pacific expedition was fitted out by the museum with the assistance of the Russian Imperial Academy of Sciences and the Russian Imperial Geographical Society. Professor Jochelson and Professor Waldemar Bogoras, both Russians, associated with the Russian Academy of Science, were engaged by the museum to undertake the task. They have brought back with them conclusive proof, so they assert, that the American Indian and the Asiatic Eskimo are close kin. and that both originally came from China. In this the report is considered of greatest importance. The evidence that these conclusions are correct consists of l,5oo specimens and exhibits taken from among the native tribes of the remote Siberian coast. Professors Jochelson and Bogoras have among their specimens a piece of Japanese iron over two hundred years old, found in the far north land, and many weapons and legends which prove that the Arctic Siberian and the American Indian were one and the same centuries ago. All of this is taken to prove that there was what the explorers call a "round Pacific race" meaning that the inhabitants of China. Japan. Arctic Siberia and North and South America were 'originally all one and the same race. BETRAYED BY FIGURES. They "Were Written on a Paeknge of Stamps Thnt Wits Stolen. CHICAGO. Dec. 1. Three sets of figures written carelessly in pencil on the pasteboard back of one of the packages of stamps taken from Erwin and Edward Fuller, who were arrested In Chicago on Nov. 22, have led to the identification of the stamps as those stolen from the postoffice at Ponca. O. T. The postofflce in that city was entered on the morning of Nov. 15, the fcafe blown open, and its contents and nearly $1,500 worth of stamps were taken. The figures discovered on the stolen stamps by I'ostollice Inspector Stuart were photographed immediately after the arrest of the Fullers and a facsimile was mailed to the Ponca city postoffice. among others where robberies had occurred recently. Today Inspector Stuart received the following message from Postmaster Barnes, of Ponca city: "Figures on cardboard and slip ours, made by my assistant. We all Identify them. Hold the robbers and all their cash. I want it. You get return register back to-night. Full report." "I am certain we have everything right," Faid Inspector Stuart to-day, "though, of course, we do not yet know whether the Fullers committed the robbery or merely received the stolen stamps." AN INDISCREET PRINCE. - Ills Letters to an Actress Stay Cost II 1m the Servian Throne. VIENNA, Dec. 1. Some stolen love letters may cost Prince Mirko, second son of the reigning Prince of Montenegro, his cherished ambition to ascend the Servian throne, for which, in the event of King Alexander having no heir, he Is a strong candidate. Prior to Prince Mlrko's marriage last July with Natalie Constantinovitch, daughter of the grand uncle of King Alexander, he had a love affair with a Servian actress and wrote her many letters containing criticisms on the policy of several European states. The Czar and German Emperor were especially hard hit, while the Servian people were slightingly and scornfully referred to. After his marriage Prince Mirko sent a trusted adjutant to buy the letetrs from the actress. She readily sold them, but the adjutant, who is a native of Servia, sold them to the Servian government for a considerable sum after having had printed copies made. In the event of the Montenegrin dynasty making any active move to acquire the Servian throne it is anticipated that the publication of the letters would alienate Prince Mlrko's Servian friends and ruin his prospects of succeeding King Alexander. WANT THEM TO REMAIN. AnRlo-Amerlcan Colony Protests Against Expulsion of I'asslontsts. LONDON. Dec. 2. The Tarls correspondent of the Times voices the Indignation of the Anglo-American t colony in Paris by warmly protesting against the action of the government in placing the Passionist fathers on the list of religious orders to be excluded from France under the law of associations. The correspondent says the fathers have never opened schools or mixed in politics, and they constitute ro conceivable danger.. to France. It is impossible to imagine, he continues, why there should be a desire to Incur the indignation of the civilized world by such a violation of the laws of hospitality as would prevent thousands of English-speaking people who bring Into Paris their money and intelligence from worshiping in their own way. Their chapel on the avenue Hoche exists for the reception of all English and American Catholics who desire a service in their own language. The correspondent adds that the British and American ambassadors are interesting themselves in the affair. Laxative Bromo-Quinlne

JOSEPH SMITH-SAYS PLURAL MAR. RIAGES ARE XOT SAXCTIOXEÜ. Polygamy Is Practiced Only by Those Who Had More Than One Wife When Ran Was Proclaimed. POSITION OF REED SMOOT WOULD-BE SENATOR A MEMBER OF THE MORMON PRIESTHOOD. He Is Engaged In Secnlnr Pursuits, llovrever, and Is Said to Re an Enterprising Citizen. SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 1. In an interview to-day President Joseph Smith, of the Mormon Church, defined the present position of the church with respect to polygamy, also the ecclesltstical position of Apostle Reed Smoot, whose- candidacy for the United States Senate has resulted in an active campaign against him by the ministerial alliance. "The church does not desire to enter into controversy over this question." said President Smith, "but it is anxious that its own people, as well as the people of the country should understand Its position.

BLIND CHAPLAIN RESIGNS.

gfe, p mm Ji!! gj

Rev. Dr. Milburn tendered his resignation yesterday, owing to 111 health. He has long been a notable figure in the United States Senate.

The Mormon Church does not solemnize or permit pluraj marriages," continued President Smith. "The church does not perform or sanction or authorize marriage in any form that Is contrary to the laws of the land. The assertion that prominent Mormons practice polygamy is evidently made to mislead the public. Polygamy under the law is the marrying of a husband or wife while the legal husband or wife is living and undivorced. There is no such offense committed by sanction of the Mormon Church. But when the prohibition of polygamy was proclaimed by the president of the Mormon Church there were many persons who had contracted plural marriages, and that relation has been . continued in many instances, because the men in that position determined not to abandon their families, but to care for and provide for them and educate and cherish their children. This is erroneously construed as practicing polygamy and creates the impression that polygamous marriages are still permitted in and by the church. "It was ascertained by a careful census In 1S90, when President Woodruff issued his manifesto against further polygamous marriages, there were 2,151 such families belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the United States. In May, 1S02, a complete and thorough inquiry showed that the original number in 1SIW had been reduced 63 per cent., leaving then only 807, the great majority of whom were of advanced age, and many of them have since departed from this life. It Is evident that with no additions to this total but a rapid and continual decrease the number of polygamous families will soon be reduced to zero." President Smith was asked to define the position of Mr. Smoot in the church, his position as an apostle having been compared to that of. a cardinal or archbishop in other churches. "The two positions are not parallel," President Smith said. "An apostle or seventy, or elder or bishop in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is usually engaged In some secular vocation, cr laboring In some capacity for his dally bread He is ordahud to the office he holds In the priesthood so that he may act in that calling when required. He gives his services gratuitously to the church. There are instances, of course, when a man's whole time is taken up with some church duty, that he receives remuneration therefor, but as a rule men holding positions in the priesthood are engaged In secular callings and are men of affaiis. Reed Smoot Is a banker, the manager of the largest manufacturing institution in this State, and is interested greatly in mining operations and other temporal pursuits. He is recognized as a capable and enterprising citizen, and his position in the church need not Interfere in any way with his services to the State or the Nation in any political office to which he may be elected. It Is not true that he has been put forward bv the church as a candidate for public oific, but he has the same right that any other American citizen enjoys to accept any office which his fellow-citizens may elect him to occupy. Mormon Church officials have served in Congress for years, apd no objection has been offered on that account. Every Mormon official has been one holding the priesthood, and that has never interfered with his official duties. The objection in the present case is without substantial reason or foundation." SICK MARINES RETURNING. ; Defenders of the Isthmus Coming Home to Get Rid of Fever. SAN JUAN, Torto Rico. Dec. 1. The United States auxiliary cruiser Tanther, with 220 marines on board, nearly all sick, sailed this afternoon for Norfolk. She came from Colon. The Colombian governBMnt ftssertsd that It could protect the

isthmus, so the opportunity was seized to take the fever-stricken soldiers back. The gunboat Bancroft has left for Colon to replace the Panther. Rear Admiral Hlgglnson has sailed for Culebra Island on board the gunboat Scorpion. The United States ships Lebanon and Hist have arrived at Culebra. The United States ship Detroit, from Culebra, Is coaling here. J. S. MacCable fell overboard from the United States ship Osceola in this harbor on Saturday and was drowned. The body was recovered last night and was buried to-day with military honors. TWO WOMEN SHOT.

One Killed and Another Seriously Wounded In a Pittsburg; Resort. PITTSBURG. Dec. 1. Mrs. Lizzie Wilson was shot and killed and Ruth Stern severely but not fatally wounded in a Coldwellstreet resort about 4 o'clock this morning. The shooting was done, it is alleged, by an unknown man, who, a few minutes after, tied the house, half robed, and has not been since seen. The other Inmates of the house said the couple had quarreled. Four shots were fired, the first killing Mrs. Wilson instantly and another entering Miss Stern's breast. Mrs. Wilson formerly lived in New York city. The police claim she was the wife of a well-known rich New York broker. The superintendent of police to-night announced that a warrant had been issued for Harry Singer, or Anron, as 'he was sometimes known, for the murder of Mrs. Wilson. Singer Is a Hebrew reddler, whose residence Is within 200 feet of the house where the murder occurred. It is supposed he fled from the house to his home, changed his clothing and escaped. Jealousy is the only motive announced by the police to accounty for the murder. Mrs. Wilson has a brother. John Marks, living at 2408 East Chase street, Baltimore. The Stern woman will recover from the effects of her wounds. NEW YORK, Dec. 1. The woman known in Pittsburg as Ruth Stern Is May Hammer, whose home was In this city. She is in her twenty-first year. About the middle of last summer she told her mother, who is a widow, that she had been offered a position In Pittsburg as bookkeeper. She was employed as a waitress here. WAR ON DANCE HALLS. Protestants mid Catholics in Arms at Cleveland. CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 1. To-night's session of the City Council was remarkable in that besides the regular councilmen there were at least thirty ministers of Protestant churches and the Catholic bishop of this city present to participate In the discussion of an ordinance restricting the privileges of dance halls. The clergy were, to a man, opposed to the manner in which the halls are conducted and favored stricter regulations of them, if not their entire oblittratlon. On the other hand, several of the members of the Council were strong advocates of the dance halls and favored even gteatcT freedom in their license. Incidentally the Sunday saloon closing law was brought into the discussion and Councilman Kohl declared that it would serve the purpose of morality if the saloons were open Sunday afternoon. Bishop Horstmann spoke for the Catholic churches of the city and said that in the name of 126.000 Catholic people of this city he asked that the saloons and dance halls be shut up all Sunday and at reasonable hours on other days. Dr. G. C. Ashmunn, a prominent physician and a member of the Council, said that sturgeons knew better than any other class of men the danger physically that may be found in the dance halls. The ordinance was referred to the city law department for an opinion as to its legality. HOME RULE FOR DENVER. County and City Offices Consolidated Contest Regun. DENVER, Col., Dec. 1. Governor Orman to-day issued a proclamation announcing the passage of the Rush amendment to the state Constitution, abolishing the county of Arapahoe and creating the city and county of Denver and South Arapahoe and Adams counties. The purpose of this amendment is to give this city home rule, the dual offices of city and county being consolidated, but the change will not be effected without litigation. City Treasurer Paul J. Sauers refused to turn over the funds in his office to County Treasurer Elder and Sheriff Seree refused to surrender his office to Hamilton Armstrong, chief of police, who is the new sheriff of the city and county. The municipal league, assisted by District Attorney Lindsley, will immediately begin proceedings to enforce the new law. TRANSPORT SHERMAN SAILS. Wife of Brlgndler General J. 31. Lee a Pnnaenger on the Ship. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. l.-The transport Sherman sailed to-day for Manila. She will stop at Guam on the way to deliver a quantity of military stores there.

He is accompanied by Mrs. Girard. A .hampagno supper is not complete unless the wine used is Cook's Imperial Extra Dry. It Is effervescent and sparkling.

DRIVEN ON THE KOCKS

STEAMER GEORGE IIERARD DASHED TO PIECES IX A STORM. One of Her Consorts, the Schooner Aloha. Also Supposed to Hare Deen Lost in Lake Superior. TWENTY LIVES POSSIBLY LOST THIRTEEN MEN AND A WOMAN COOK ON THE STEA3ICU, And Seren Men, Composing the Creir of the Vessel Schooner Celtic and Eight Men Also Missing. SAULT STE. MARIE. Mich., Dec. 1. In the terrible west gale on Lake Superior Saturday night the steamer Charles Hebard was driven on the rocky shore at Point Mamalnse, and was soon dashed to pieces by the seas. Her crew, consisting of thirteen men and a woman cook, have not been heard from, and It is feared all have perished. The schooner Aloha, ono of the consorts which the Hebard had in tow, broke away from the steamerin Lake Superior and has not been heard from since. When last sighted she was laboring heavily in the trough of the sea, and little hope is entertained for her safety. The schooners Warmington and Francomb, the other vessels of the tow, ran before the gale, after breaking away from the steamer, and finally succeeded In reaching an anchorage at Copper Mine Point. Tonight the tugs General and Philadelphia were sent from this port to bring the two schooners here and to search for some trace of the Aloha. The first news of the disaster was brought here at noon to-day by the steamer Ossifrage, which arrived from Michipicotan. Mrs. MucArthur, wife of the captain of the Francomb, came down on the Ossifrage. A list of the members of the crew of the Hebard, according to the last trip sheet, is as follows: George G. Ryan, captain, Detroit; William Schumaker, first engineer, Detroit; Joseph Roy, second engineer, Detroit; T. P. Correll. first mate, Detroit; A. Jackson, second mate, Detroit; Charles Barton, wheelsman, Mt. Clemens; C. Eastman, wheelsman; John Koortas, watchman, Detroit; Neil Fay, watchman; William Egan, fireman; Ed Hughes, fireman; George Turpin. deckhand; Matthew Hudson, deckhand; Mrs. Barnes, cook, Buffalo. The crew of the Aloha, on her last trip, was as follows: Peter Johnson, master, Tonawanda; Benjamin Berry, mate; Mrs. Olsen, cook; C. Anderson, seaman; William, Munch, seaman; S. G. Miller, seaman; R. A. Bell, seaman. The steamer Hebard was owned by Holland & Graves, of Buffalo. She was built In 1SS8, and registered 7ti3 tons. The Aloha was owned by the same firm. She was built in 1SS8, and registered 521 tons. 'o Trace of the Dannockbarn. SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich.. Dec. 1. There is no longer hope for the safety of the steamer Bannockburn and her crew of twenty men. The death knell to the hopes of the owners and the relatives of the crew was sounded to-day when a dispatch was received from the captain of the tug Boynton saying that he had traversed the entire shore where the missing steamer was believed to have stranded. No trace of the boat was discovered. It now seems certain that the wreckage found by the steamer Rockefeller In the middle of Lake Superior marked the watery graves of the steamer and her crew. As the waters of Lake Superior reach their greatest depth at that point it is probable that none of the bodies will ever be recovered. What events preceded the disappearance of the big steel boat will never be known, but a broken rudder, a break in the machinery or a loosened seam might have resulted in this, the 'greatest loss of the season of navigation on the great lakes. No Trnce of the Celtic. DETOUR. Mich., Dec. 1. The schooner Celtic, In tow of the steamer' Runnels, broke away from the steamer in the gale Saturday night when in the north end of Lake Huron, and it is feared has been lost with all on board. After searching all along the east shore of the lake from the Duck islands northward to this point, without finding a trace of the schooner, the Runnels came here to-day. The Celtic carried a crew of eight, but a list of their names cannot be obtaalned. With the exception of the officers, a complete shift in the personnel was made when the ves6el was at Buffalo. The only members of the crew known to be on the missing boat were Capt. H. Jeffries, of Detroit, and Cook Margaret Quirk, of Marine City. The two boats were bound from Buffalo to Sault Ste. Marie with coal cargoes at the time of the accident. The Celtic was owned by Spence Bros., of Cleveland, who have given the schooner up for lost. She was not insured. HAD A STORMY PASSAGE. Steamship St. Louis Retarded a Day by High Seas One Life Lost. NEW YORK, Dec. 1. The American-line steamer St. Louis arrived in port to-day from Southampton and Cherbourg, one day late, after a very stormy passage. The St. Louis left the channel with a moderate breeze, which later became a gale, with violent squalls and a very high, dangerous sea. During the height of the storm on Wednesday afternoon, one seaman, Charles Johnson, a Norwegian, was washed overboard and lost. During almost all of the trip the captain was obliged to remain on the bridge, and most of that time the officers were lashed to supports to keep the seas from carrying them away. On the 29th the St. Louis ran into a violent hailstorm and the hailstones were so large that the officers had hard work navigating the ship. For days they ran the vessel under reduced speed with the passengers behind shelter and the sea continually breaking over the ship and sweeping the decks. On Wednesday about 4 o'clock in the afternoon the storm was so fierce and the sea, which was high, was breaking over the bow with such a force it was feared that some of the forward boats on the starboard side would be carried away. Orders were given to have the boats made more secure and a detail of seven men were sent up to fasten them. The seamen who undertook the work crept along the side of the deck to the forward boat. They had been working but a few minutes to make it secure when a heavy sea came curling over the rail. There was a shout of warning, and all of the men held fast except Johnson, who was dashed overboard. The boat was stopped, but so wild was the sea that no aid could be given to the man and the steamer resumed her' Journey. Yesterday afternoon, when the St. Louis was off the Nantucket lightship, a fire was discovered forward on the main deck. It was caused by a defective electric wire and was extinguished with a few bucketful s of water. Rumor of m Disaster. BRUSSELS, Dec. 1. There is an unconfirmed rumor that the Belgian steamer Leopold has foundered in the North sea and twenty-eight persons have been drowned. Work of Rurglars. BROOKINGS, S. D., Dec.

Director of a Friars Organ Convicted of SlanderliiK General Dell. MANILA. Dec. 1. The trial of the editors of the paper Libertas, a Friars organ and strongly anti-American in its policy, for libeling General Bell, who was accused by the paper of stealing the profits from the sale of rice and foodstuffs in Batangas and Mindoro during the concentration period, concluded to-day and resulted in the conviction of the director of the paper, Manuel Ravago, and the acquittal of Friar Tamayo. the paper's religious censor. The prosecution experienced some difficulty in showing the identity of the publishers of the Libertas, although Ravago finally testified that he alone was responsible. Judge Ambler, in passing Judgment, suggested the enactment of a statute requiring the newspapers to publish or register the names of their proprietors and responsible editors so as to prevent anonymous journalism. Sentence on Ravago was deferred. TRADE, INDUSTRY, LABOE. The railway trackmen of the United States and Canada began a week's session in St. Louis yesterday. It is stated that the organization has a membership of 20,000,. All possibility of another general strike at Havanahas ended, as the cigar makers have voted a return to work and. the factories were running as usual yesterday. The miners employed in the bituminous mines of the Red Run Coal Company, at Ralston. Pa., went on strike yesterday. The men ask a 10 per cent, increase in wages. The Savannah. Ga., Electric Company, controlling the street-car lines of that city, yesterday announced a general increase in pay of all motormen and conductors after Jan. 1. The report of the Cuban secretary of finance for the month of November gives the customs revenues at Havana at $1,004,S33, a decrease of J1P3,C0 compared with the October returns, and the total receipts for the island as $1.150.871. The cash on hand amounted to $1,743,253. The executive council of the National Teamsters Union ordered a strike of its drivers against the People's Gas Light and Coke Company, of Chicago, yesterday. The cause of the strike, the teamsters assert, is that the gas company has discharged several of the men for Joining the union, which was organized about a month ago. The annual convention of the International Seamen's Union opened in Milwaukee yesterday. Only routine business was transacted at the opening session. E. W. Clark, who has been in prison at Thomaston Me., for thirty years, convicted of mutiny, sent a gavel to be used by the presiding officer. Accompanying the gift was a touching letter asking the convention to seek a pardon in his behalf. The street-car conductors and motormen of Ifouston, Tex., struck yesterday morning, and not a car moved all day. The men claim they have been working twelve and thirteen hours a day for less than $2, and they demand $2 for nine hours' work; they also demand recognition of the union and the adoption of certain rules. The company has offered a slight increase, but it is in the shape of a bonus, and not a straight offer. The Morgans' payments in connection with the purchase of the International Mercantile Marine Company were carried out at London yesterday without a ripple of excitement. About three hundred shareholders of the White Star and Dominion lines presented themselves at the Morgan offices before noon, and were all paid by check. No gold was Fpeclally imported to meet the payments, the whole transaction having been arranged weeks ago. The merger of the Sharon Steel Company and the Union Steel Company became operative yesterday. The new combine will start with a capital of I10.ti00.000. It will be known as the Union Steel Company. Through the absorption of the Sharon Company many of the offices now at Sharon will be taken to Pittsburg, where it is expected the general office will be located. The sales, purchasing, traffic and part of the auditing departments will be concentrated at Pittsburg. Alfred Mosely, the English millionaire who recently brought a party of British trades union delegates to this country for the purpose of studying American Industrial . methods, at New York last night announced that it had been unanimously determined by the delegates to establish in Great Britain a civic federation similar to the National Civic Federation of America. Mr. Mosely said: "It will be patterned after the American federation. We are simply following the Americans in this. We take our cue from them." Announcement was made at Philadelphia yesterday of the proposed formation of a large nomblnatlon in the rubber industry to be known as the International Rubber Company, with a capital of $25.000.000. Incorporation papers have been prepared for filing at Trenton. The new combination Is said to be backed by Pittsburg, St. Louis, Chicago and Philadelphia capitalists. According to its projectors it will be operated independently of the company now controlling a. majority of the rubber factories in this country. Developments during the past week indicate that the American Screw Company Is seeking to absorb all the available independent screw manufacturing concerns in New England. Following the purchase of the Boston Screw Company, of Fltchburg. Mass., and the Massachusetts Screw Company, of Ilolyoke. comes the announcement that the Wright & Cotton Wire Cloth Company, of Worcester, has sold Its iron wood screw company to the local concern.

After 2.000 experiments I have learned how to cure Bheumatlsm. Not to turn bony Joints Into flesh again; that Is impossible. But I can cure the disease always, at any stage, and forever. I ask for no money. Simply write me a postal and I will send you an order on your nearest druggist for six bottles of Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure, for every druggist keeps it. Use it for a month, and if it succeeds, the cost is only .. If It falls I will pay your druggist myself. I have no samples, because any medicine that can affect Rheumatism quickly must be drugged to the verge of danger. I use no such drugs, and It Is folly to take them. You must get the disease out of the blood. My remedy does that, even In the most difficult, obstinate cases. No matter hovr impossible this seems to you I know it, and I take the risk. I have cured tens of thousands of cases In this way. and my records show that 23 out of 40 who get those six bottles pay gladly.

I will send you my book about Rheum, tism and an order for the medicine. Taka It for a month, as It won't harm you any. way. If it falls. It Is free, and I leave the decision with you. Address Dr. Shoop, Bos 7J0, Kaclne. Wis. Mild cases, not chronic, are often curtl Li' one or two bottles. At all druiZisu.
