ROUGH HOUSE IN SAN DOMINGO Town Nearer Home is Taken by Rebels After Fierce Fighting in Which the Casualties A special from Manila says: The town of Surigao, in the northeastern part of the Island of Mindanao, was captured Sunday, by ladrones, who killed Constabulary Inspectory Clarke and several others. A detachment of thirty men, belonging to the Tenth infantry, under the command of Lieutenants Patterson and Brown, is hurrying from Iligan, on the northwest coast of Mindanzo, to Surigao, on the transport Riley, with orders to recapture that place. Brigadier General Sumner, commanding the department of Mindanao, has been ordered to send two additional companies of troops to Surigao. It is reported that the ladrones are holding the town, but details of the fight have not been received. The fate of the white officials and other foreigners is not known. If they have been captured, vigorous measures will be taken to rescue them. This is the first time American troops have been used since the peace with the Moros was declared. Governor Taft and General Davis are going to Jolo for a conference with the sultan and leading Moros of Jolo, in the hope of averting trouble. They will leave Manila on the transport Ingalls. No advices have been received from Jolo since Saturday. The situation there is regarded as bcritical, although Governor Taft and General Davis hope to quell the unrest and to succeed in making the Moros understand the intentions of the Americans. The burial ship Preteus has arrived at Manila from the Jolo archipelago, bringing the bodies of five hundred soldiers and a few citizens. The bodies will be sent home on a transport. Racket In San Domingo. Advices from San Domingo, Republic of Santo Domingo, state that the revolutionists under General Pepin attacked and captured one of the forts defending the city. Many men were killed on both sides. The political prisoners of the fort were released. The revolutionists are in full possession of the city of San Domingo. They have taken charge of the cable office and of the government land liens. Foreign Minister Sanchez has sought refuge in the United States crasulate. The fighting continues. Assistant Governor Echenique and the commander of the government forces, General Pena, have been killed. It is expected that the government troops outside the city will attack the revolutionists, who are in San Domingo. General Wos Gil has assumed command of the revolutionary forces. The number of men killed or wounded is not known, but it is reported many have been killed on both sides. No War Vessel Will Be Sent. A Washington special says: No war vessel will be ordered to San Domingo for the present. The Atlanta is under orders to proceed from Pensacola to Monte Cristo, near Haitien, and in the event of American interests being endangered at San Domingo she will go there. MAY BE GENERAL STRIKE. Atlanta Printers' Union Makes Another Move Against Foote & Davies. The Atlanta, Ga., Typographical Union has acted favorably on the permission sent out from national headquarters at Indianapolis to call union men out of all the Employing Printers' Club shops that accept work from Foote & Davies. This means that there will be a general lockout in nearly all the printing shops in the city if any of them accept work from Foote & Davies. FATAL WRECK ON SOUTHERN.

A negro tramp, said to be Quince Wright, of Westminster, S. C., who was stealing a ride between the engine and the fast mail car, was literally torn to pieces. The Savannah Tribune. PRESIDENT CASTRO RESIGNS But Venezuelan Congress is Loth to Let Him Go, and Beg His Reconsideration. A special from Caracas, Venezuela, says: President Castro has resigned. He placed his resignation in the hands of the Venezuelan congress after reading the presidential message. In the ordinary course of events, President Castro's term would have ended February 20, 1903. He was elected president of Venezuela last year in February for six years. He had been elected provisional president of Venezuela on March 30, 1901, by the constituent assembly. Senator Castro, when the presidency changed hands some time previous to that date, had proclaimed himself president, and the United States government in November, 1899, had omically recognized the defacto government headed by him. The action of the constituent assembly legalized his position and invested him with the full powers of a presidential ruler to the limit of its authority. Up to that time, while being generally recognized as president of Venezuela, he had in reality been simply dictator of the republic. A year later, as already stated, the Venezuelan congress ratified his election and regularly installed him as president of Venezuela for a term of six years, dating from February 20, 1902. Congress Refuses to Accept. A later dispatch from Caracas says: The Venezuelan congress, by a unanimous vote, has declined to accept President Castro's resignation, and has passed a resolution requesting him to reconsider his decision. It is believed that President Castro will yield to this expressed desire of congress, and remain in power. The News in Washington. Saturday night Secretary Hay received a dispatch from Mr. Russell, the United States charge at Caracas, confirming the report of President Castro's resignation, but stating that he doubted if the Venezuelan congress would accept it. The first intimation received by Secretary Hay of President Castro's resignation was given him by the Associated Press dispatch announcing the fact. He would not discuss the matter, however, beyond stating that the news was unexpected. Herbert W. Bowen, Venezuela's plenipotentiary in washington, likewise had not been informed until shown the dispatch. CORPSES LEFT IN ROAD. Two Wagon Loads of Dissected Cadavers Deserted by Drivers. News comes from Atlanta that eighteen headless bodies of men and women, white and black, were found in four broken boxes on two wagons in the public road one mile from the city Saturday morning. The bodies had been taken from the Eclectic Medical college, where they had been used by the Atlanta Dental college for dissecting purposes. They had been placed in charge of David T. Howard, a negro undertaker, for interment, and he had hired two negroes to place the bodies in boxes early Friday night and take them to Oakview cemetery, near the river. A thunder storm coming up so frightened the drivers that they deserted the wagons a mile from the city and returned with their horses. All night jong, the wagons with their grewsome freight, stood in the public road, and one of them was directly opposite a residence. The eighteen bodies were incased in four boxes of the type used as the outside covering of a casket, and a grave was to be dug for each of these. This would necessitate five or six bodies being in the same grave, negroes and white people, women and men together, in indiscriminate heaps. The people living in the neighborhood declare that investigation of the affair will be had. They seriously object to having wagon loads of decaying human bodies standing in front of their houses all night and a big part of the day. Some of the boxes in which were bodies had been broken by the weight of human flesh. Headless bodies and feet were hanging out of the ends of these filmsy receptacles. The sight was a most horrible and disgusting one. As Location of United States Naval Station on Island of Cuba. After a personal inspection of the proposed site, Secretary Moody has selected Guantanamo as the principal United States naval station in the West Indies. Secretary Moody, Senior Proctor and Congressmen Cannon, Foss and Gillett arrived there Monday on board the United States dispatch-boat Dolphin, which anchored in the lower bay. Secretary Moody estimated the strategic points, the transportation facilities, the water supply and the sur- rounding country. SAVANNAH, GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 28. 1903.. REPORT OF ARBITERS Strike Commission Awards Much to the Miners. NO RECOGNITION OF THE UNION Ten Per cent Increase in Wages, Reduction of Hours of Work and Provision for Arbitration Principal Concessions: The report of the anthracite coal strike commission was made public at Washington Saturday morning. It provides in general for an increase of ten per cent in the rates of wages paid contract miners and for a reduction in the hours per day of the other mine workers; Water hoisting engineers are to work hereafter in eight hour shifts, with ten per cent increase in wages where they were working heretofore in such shifts. Firemen are to have eight-hour shifts without an increase. The other mine workers are to be paid the same wages on the basis of a nine-hour day that they have been receiving for a ten-hour day. A board of arbitration is provided for to settle disputes arising out of the interpretation or application of the commission's awards, to consist of three members selected by the operators and three by the miner's organization, and an ampire in case of a tie, to be appointed by one of the circuit judges of the Third Judicial district of the United States. No strikes or lockouts shall take place pending adjudication by this board. Union Not Recognized. The commission declines to recognize the United Mine Workers of America as such, by compelling operators to enter into any contract with that organization, but nullifies this in the manner above stated by providing that the miners' organization shall have a hand in the machinery whereby the findings of the commission shall be put into effect. The third demand of the miners, which was that coal be paid for by weight wherever practicable, was refused, the commission refraining from making an obligatory award. It declined to fix the standard of a ton where coal is paid for by weight and from imposing upon the owners of collieries where coal is now mined and paid for by the car the obligation to pay by weight and make the change in the plants necessary therefor. A sliding scale is provided whereby miners may increase their earnings according to the increase in the market price for coal, the above rates awarded being in all cases minimum. There shall be no discrimination against any workman because of his membership or non-membership in a labor organization nor shall there be any interferences by union men with non-union men. The awards shall continue in force until March 31, 1906. The entire report of the commission comprises 87 printed pages or 50,000 words. Loss Incurred by Strike. Particular stress is laid by members of the commission upon the fact that the findings were unanimous. A large part of the report is devoted to the history of the strike and a review of the conditions prevailing in the anthracite regions. One chapter deals with losses occasioned by the strike. The total decrease in the production is estimated at $46,100,000. The total loss in wages is $25,000,000. There was expended about $1,800,000 in relief funds and the total decrease of freight receipts is placed at $28,000,000. The aggregate loss is therefore approximately $100,900,000. Shaw Favora Ship Subsidies Secretary of the Treasury Shaw was the principal guest at the first annual banquet of the New Orleans board of trade Saturday night. In the course of his speech he strongly advocated ship subsidies. BQTH HUSBAND AND CASH Is Won in Court by Daughter of Late Millionaire McComb.

CHASED BY WATERS Sudden Break in Protection Levee Causes Hasty Hegira. GREAT GAP CUT BY RIVER Six Men Drowned in Flooded District of Arkansas—Great River Gradually Falling at Memphis and New Orleans. According to a Vicksburg special thirty thousand acres were flooded Tuesday night by the breaking of protection levee around Lacona Circle, Ark., 25 miles north of Rosedale, Miss. The crevasse is several hundred yards wide. So suddenly did the water rush through that the people living in the inundated territory had to flee till great haste, taking refuge on the government levee in the rear. Considerable live stock, it is feared, will be lost and the negrocs there are said to be without provisions. There is no telegraphic or telephonic connection at Lacona and the exact situation cannot be ascertained. Six Men Swent to Doom. J. R. Hood returned to Memphis Tuesday from the flooded district of Arkansas and reports that at Gavin, a station on the 'Frisco railroad, Saturday afternoon, a skiff containing four drummers and two negro carsmen were swept under the track of the retread, in a stiff current. The boat was overturned and all six occupants were drowned. Mr. Hood does not know the names of the traveling men, but says they had employed the negroes to row them across the submerged territory to Mound City, Ark., where they intended to take a steamboat for Memphis. The river at Memphis Tuesday morning registered. 39.4 feet on the gauge and continues to recede. The weather bureau predicts that the fall will continue at an increased rate for the next few days. There seems every reason to believe that the danger from the overflow has passed and that the Mississippi valley has ever seen will soon pass into history. River Falling at Now Orleans. The river at New Orleans registered 20 feet. Favorable winds have probably figured in the decline. Something like a gale prevailed during Monday night and caused much apprehension concerning the safety of the levees south, but early reports brought no news of crevasses. It is believed that the river is now carrying off much of the flood that caused the overflows in North Memphis and in Arkansas. There is no change whatever in local conditions. FREEDOM FOR MRS.

The announcement comes from the home office, which now authorizes her Washington lawyers to use the fact of her release next year as a reason for securing the postponement of the trial of the lawsuit bearing on the prisoner's interests in land in Kentucky, Virginia and West, Virginia, until she is able to personally testify. BLOOMER GIRLS BALKED. Female Baseballists Strike a Snag at Cedartown.

Immediately after the shooting Powers took a trau for Texas. LADRONES HELD AT BAY. Beleaguered Philippine Citizens Finally Relieved by American Troops. A Manila special says: The town of Surigao, in the northeastern part of the island of Mindanao, which was captured Sunday by ladrones, was relieved Tuesday. The American officials and foreigners were found to be safe. Eighty ladrones, led by ten escaped convicts, participated in the attack on Surigao. They had twenty rifles and font ybolos and succeeded in surprising and rushing the constabulary barracks. Inspector Clarke was killed at the first rush. The ladrones captured eighty rifles. The American officials, the women and the foreigners sought refuge in the government building, where Treasurer Kelly, a former Indian scout, assumed command. The defenders of the building were armed with shotguns and refused the summons of the laurones to surrender. They held out until the town was relieved Tuesday by a force of constabulary sent from Tucoban. The ladrones fed at the approach of the constabulary. Trolley Passenger Fired on Masked Man and Fatal Duel Followed. Men and Peter Buer robbers three masked robbers attempted to hold up a car on the Los Angeles and Pacific Electric railway between Los Angeles and Santa Monica, Cal., Saturday night, and after a pistol fight between C.

SATURDAY MARCH 28,1903 ALL believers of just ce and fair play have been commending President Roosevelt for his attitude toward the race. As predicted, our poor people are being fleeced by smooth tongue rascals on the plea of the passage of the ex-slave pension bill. THE separate car law in this state would no doubt be more satisfactory if white men were not allowed in the coach allotted to colored passengers. THE legislature of Missouri has refused to enact a separate car law. The legislature of this state contains many members who are not tainted with race prejudice. EACH morning there is a curious crowd of men and women who attend the recorder's court. What is true of this court is also true of the other courts when in session. This idle and curious class should find more profitable employment. THERE are some members of the police force who are adepts at using the club on the head of colored men whom they have under arrest. Under the regime of that fearless and just recorder, Mr. H. E. Wilson, this ornal practice was abolished, but at present the police are upheld in whatever they do in this respect. In certain sections of the city small white boys generally gather and at times interfere with colored persons in passing. This interference on the part of this lawless element may yet terminate into serious trouble. This nearly happened on Sunday afternoon when several ladies were mistreated. The boys who were guilty were docketed. They were also punished by their parents. Whenever these boys act in any manner unbecoming they should be reported, because if they are allowed to continue the practice they will become bolder and commit offenses that may be more serious. In the south ninety per cent of the supporters of the Republican party are among the colored people. In the northern and western parts this per cent, and especially in some states, is very small. In the distribution of patronage it is always necessary to give preference to those who are the main supporters of the party. For that reason there are more colored men appointed to positions of honor and emolument in this section than elsewhere. It must not be misunderstood that there are not many colored men holding lucrative positions who have been appointed from sections other than the south. Some of the southern daily papers have been asking why the President does not appoint colored men as collectors of customs in northern and western ports. In asking this they are merely begging the question. Those journals should understand that if conditions were the same in these sections as in the south such appointments would be made. These journals are not in favor of colored man holding office anywhere. It is fully decided by them and many southernners that the only "door of hope" that they would be willing to have open to the colored man, is the farm. They will find many colored men to stick to the farm and get along prosperously to, but in the other avenues of life they will never be able to debar him. The only thing that the white man will be able to succeed in preventing the colored man from becoming, is a social companion, and in that direction the colored man is not aspiring, and toward it show feeling akin to the white man. This country is the black man's as well as the white man's. It has been developed by both races. The black man has fledled the forrests, opened highways, reclaimed swamps, tilled the soil, and assisted in making this the greatest country on earth. He is going to continue in this development. He is going to stay right here, better his condition and as heretefore live a model citizen with the one request to be let alone with unabridged rights of citizenship. It is plainly to be seen that many of our people who are in better condition in every respect, are unmindful of the condition of many of our less fortunate brothers. By a little forethought on their part and united action the unfortunate ones could be benefitted. In many sections of our city there are hundreds of men, women and children who live huddled in stuffy tenements and cabins. In these sections the moral atmosphere is not the most pleasant but these people are living seemingly in a state of much contentment. Their lives are in many respects polluted and in this wake their children are tending and as they increase it will be a black cloud enveloping the entire race. The condition of these people must be changed if the race is to receive a commendable part in history, and the only way that their condition can be changed is for the thoughtful ones to act in a united manner to better it. It has been observed by one of our leading clergymen that especially on Saturday nights hundreds of our laboring men after receiving their week's wages repair to the bar rooms and there many of their hard earned dollars are spent. This is a fact that can be easily proven. Around Market square, there are nearly twenty-five barrooms and in two thirds of them can be found men of our race in large numbers. As this clergyman said, something should be done to make these men think, and THE TRIBUNE fully agrees with him and the efforts that he is putting forward to thwart this social evil. A united effort of the ministers and their churches should be made. This effort should not be spasmodic, but well organized to be perpetual. It will be hard work to reach these men and the class first cited in this article, and no doubt after they are reached, there may be much discouragement over results, but naught should deter the efforts. The sooner organization along these lines are perfected, the better it will be for all perous concerned. ```markdown ``` THE CLIPPER is pleased to know that the law firm of Tucker and Morse, in Savannah, is meeting with continual success.

D. preached a sermon that will not soon be forgotten by those who heard it, his subject was, "Elishas' prayers." In speaking of Elishas' servant asking for information, Rev. Williamson, said to his people, we have a beautiful lesson from this young man. He knew that, Elisha knew better than himself what to do, so he instead of acting independent to his leaders, sought his advice. Again the young man appreciated the fact that God had given him a leader, and he felt duty bound to respect and obey that leader. Rev. Williamson urged, on his people the necessity of profiling by the young man's example. On tomorrow morning, Rev. Williamson's subject will be, "The gospel as a medium through which we obtain life and immortality." At night his subject will be, "Our most acceptable message." You are invited to all the services. Go out early and be comfortably seated. St. Phillip's Dots. Rev. Cole, D. D., supervisor and organizer of Sunday Schools for the Sixth Episcopal District of the A. M. E.

I Saures, preached subject "The works of Christ," At 3 p.m., the B. Y. P. U. held a mass meeting and at $15 the pastor preached the anniversary sermon. At the closing of services the members responded with their anniversary offerings which amounted to $285.78. The sermons were delivered with power and demonstration and drew the people from far and near. As a leader, Rev. Haywood is one of the ablest one we feel that we could have gotten. In his two years and eight months leading he has been to us as Mos-s was to the children of Israel. He has certainly done great things for us. We cordially thank our friends for their regular attendance. Every night the church has been crowded. Monday night, Rev. T. M. Williamsen preached the closing sermon, subject "The reign or Christ." His choir rendered music for the occasion. We shall enter into revival meeting. Mr. George Garretson-in-law of Mrs Boon, who is a faithful member of our church, died on Tuesday night, whose demise was unexpected. Rev. Haywood conducted the burial ceremony. Our pastor also funeralized the body of Mr. Sandy Law, who committed suicide. Mr. William Bryant and Miss Josephine Turner were joined in holy wedlock on Tuesday night last, at the bride's residence 522 Charles street, Rev. H. L. Haywood officiating. Second Baptist Church Second Baptist Church Services were largely attended all day last Sunday. The pastor being indisposed Rev. H. Maxwell preached a very acceptable sermon at 11 a.m. The pastor preached at 8 p.m., a special sermon to Magnolia Federal Labor Union. Revival meetings are still being conducted every night by the pastor, Dr. Durham and are attended by large crowds. The interest in the meetings is good. Several have made a profession of faith and many others seemed deeply concerned. One interesting feature of these meetings is the very beautiful and excellent singing rendered by a singing band under the direction of Mr. Charles F. Waters. These meetings will continue next week. The public is cordially invited. The church is at Haberham and Harris streets. The services on Good Friday will be at 7:30 a.m, 12:3, p.m. and 8 p.m. The service held from 12 to 3 is known as the Passion Service because it recalls to the sufferings and sayings of Jesus while he hung on the cross. The most touching hymns are sung and addresses made on the seven last words of our dear Redeemer. I "Father, forgive them: for they know not what they do" II. To-day shall thou be with me in Paradise III. Woman, behold thy Son, Son, behold thy mother." IV. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me." V. "I thirst!" VI. "It is finished" VII "Father; into Thy hands I commend my spirit. This is one of the most impressive services held in the Chianistian church. It arrests the attention of the most indifferent and worldly minded person and assists all Christians in obtaining the true joys of Easter. Don't stay away because you can't stay to the entire service. Come for five minutes, if you haven't the entire day off, come during your dinner hour. No matter what kind of work you are engaged in in some sacrifices to spend a few minutes in the foot of the cross of your crucified Lord. At the night services the story of the Cross will be sung. These services are for the public in general. All the seats are free. You will never regret having attended these services. In God's name I bid you come. Rev. Richard Bright, Rector The Evangelical Union. Rev J. A. Hadley, D. D., conducted the devotional exercises on Tuesday morning with appropriate selections. "Oh for a thousand tongues to sing," was the opening hymn; he also read the lesson from the 23d Psalms; "Nearer my to God thee" was sung in conclusion, after which the president announced the regular order of business. Mere parsimony is not economy, and if the heart of man admits of but a single object, what judgment shall we form of our modern friendship, embracing as they do such a multiplicity? Undoubtedly if a man has thirty friends he can bestow on each of them only the thirtieth part of his affection, and can receive in return no greater proportion of theirs, therefore he must of necessity deceive them and be deceived by them; for no one is disposed to be a friend in fractional parts, as such friendship can have but one moral significance, and that is the confederation of selfish ambition in keeping with the celebrated "triumvir" which at heat is purely ephemeral and productive more of a mutual illusion than otherwise. Hence "instead of discussing the race question, stick to the Bible and preach righteousness and virtue," says Dr H. S Bradley of Atlanta in a recent sermon and admonished our people to "merit respect and you will command respect," and as this view of the question is paramount in the deliberations of the Evangelical Ministers Union at all times as a matter of race principle it was expedient that the union should command the Christian spirit vouchsafed in the sermon in behalf of our people. Dr. Hadley was the recipient of very flattering compliments in the form of the usual friendly criticism upon the conduct of the devotional exercises by Rev D. S. Wells, M. P. E., and others. Rev T. B Lillard, pastor of the First Congregational church, was introduced and accorded the privilege of the floor and he delivered an address of absorbing interest to all present. He was followed and ably seconded in his suggestions by Revs. Powell, Wells, Smith, Roherts, Word, Jackson, Hadley, Berrien, Gatlin, and also Rev. Samuel J. Thomas, treating largely upon the moral stamina and domestic infelicity among the race, during which many heart rending incidents were elucidated, where the earnings of the laborers who receive good pay each week, yet they invariably spend from one-third to one-half or more at some bar-room and other cesspools of vice before they reach their respective homes. A committee was appointed representing the Evangelical Ministers Union, to inquire into and formulate some effective inter-denominational crusade of reform that would better the condition of our people, especially of the laboring class. The speeches of Drs. Word, Hadley, Wells, Newton and Lillard were particularly eloquent to say the least. The president also in passing on certain points of order raised, indulged in some very excellent perorations. The Bev. W. B. Berrien announced that the five days feast "in the wilderness" at the Thankful Baptist church will commence on Sunday night April 5th. Adjourned with benediction by Rev. Thomas. E. Jonathan Nelson, Sec'y. Lost His Nerve. Those who climb mountains frequently find the dizzy depths too much for them and lose their nerve.

Baptist Ministers' Union. The brethren of the union met at the usual hour at the First A. R. Church, Franklin square. The meeting was called to order by the vice-president, Dr. J. J. Durham, after devotion conducted by Rev. J. W. Hill. Rev. William Barron preached from Matt. 2:2, subject "Seeking Jesus." He referred to Christ as the center of attraction for all Christians. Rev. W. A. Daughtry preached from Heb. 4:2, subject "The gospel." Among other things, he said that the gospel teaches obedience, and to believe on Christ implies obedience to Christ. He showed that the man who will not obey Christ is not a Christian. Rev. W. L. P. Weston preached from Acts 16:30-31, subject "The results of Faith" His sermon was full of faith. Rev. T. M. Williamson preached from 2 Kings 6:17, subject "Elishas' prayers." Rev. J. W. Hill preached from Matt. 5:48, subject "Perfection." He showed the impossibility of human perfection in this world, and urged the necessity of growing in grace. Rev. P Holmes preached from Matt. 5:16. He spoke of the duty of men and women making sacrifices for God. Rev. K. B. Simpkins, preached from Heb. 4:9, subject the Christian Rest Rev. II L. Haywood preached from Mark 16:16, subject "The great Commission." Rev. Haywood's sermon was well prepared and obliquely delivered. Prof. R. R. Wright of the Georgia State College, was present and made some timely remarks with reference to his meeting recently held in Chattanooga Tenn. He showed why Negroes should unite in encouraging Industrial schools, conducted by members of their race. His speech was timely and much appreciated. Dr. Durham responded in a happy style. Rev. T. B. Lillard made a stirring speech, indorsing industrial education. He showed in a very eloquent manner, why our young men and women, instead of loafing around town, and becoming conspicuous in the public eye, should be taught the value of thrift and economy. He urged that the ministers unite in doing something helpful to our young men and women. Rev. Lillard's speech was full of pathos, and his sentiments were highly endorsed by the brethren. T. McGrand Williamson, Reporter. Social Circles. The friends of Miss Mamio Troup of New York are making it exceedingly pleasant for her during her stay in the city. On Monday afternoon a card party was given in her honor by Miss Frances Lendor. In the evening Mr. and Mrs. J. H Brown entertained, and on Wednesday evening. Mrs. Julia Lendor, Mrs. Sarah Steele and Mrs. B. Warren gave a social. Each of these were very enjoyable. Those present at the various ones were: Mesdames, Jas. A. Nelson, P. B Biggins. R. R.

The decline in Consumption is more marked than any other disease. Many causes are attributed, but it is safe to say that Mr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds is responsible for this decline, to a large extent. Many a life has been saved by its use. There is nothing anywhere just as good for Lung and Throat troubles. It's positively guaranteed by Knight's Pharmacy Company.

Birds, Beasts, Reptiles and Natives Combine to Make Operator's Life Miserable. No business has more difficulties and is more prolific of exasperations in town and country than telegraphing with dead wires and live wires, crosses and tangles, cyclones and blizzards, "bugs" and what not. Telegraphic communication anywhere is subject to interruption from a hundred and one causes, and few persons who complain about the service are aware of the difficulties to be overcome in maintaining a perfect electrical circuit. But in the tropics the maintenance of a telegraph line in good order is a constant uphill fight against all manner of interrupting enemies that operators and linemen in this country never dream of. In Brazil the wires get tangled wifih the cablelike web of an immense spider, which, drapping wifih dew or rain, makes cross connections, "short circuits" and "grounds" almost daily. Ants often destroy the poles in a few weeks. All this is more or less true of all Central and South America. In the West India Islands the "john Crows," or turkey buzzards, make life miserable for the telegraph and telephone people. These big, heavy birds—the only scavengers—abound in great numbers. They roost on the wires or fly against them and invariably break them off short. In one large town the telephone wires that ran by the public market had to be put underground because the buzzards congregated there in great numbers, rested on the wires and broke them almost nightly. On the pampas of Argentine the herds of practically wild cattle rub and butt against the poles and frequently break them down. For some years it was altogether impossible to maintain a line of telegraph through Persia, for more than a few days at a time; the natives regularly destroyed it as a device of the evil one. Finally the shah issued an edict making the loss of an ear the penalty for a first offense of destroying the telegraph line, the loss of a hand for the second and death by being buried to the neck in the sand beside the telegraph line the penalty for a third offense. One cared men were common in Persia for several years, for the shah was determined to introduce civilizing influences.—Chicago "William, what has become of that big cat that has been banging around the back yard for the last month or more?"

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Miss Menard cured after doctors failed to help her. "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cured me after doctors had failed, and I want other girls to know about it. During menstruation I suffered most intense pain low in the abdomen and in my limbs. At other times I had a heavy, depressed feeling which made my work seem twice as hard, and I grew pale and thin. The medicine the doctor gave me did not do me one bit of good, and I was thoroughly discouraged. The doctor wanted me to stop work, but, of course, I could not do that. I finally began to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and felt better after taking the first bottle, and after taking six bottles I was entirely cured, and am now in perfect health, and I am so grateful for it." —MISS GEORGE MENARD, 537 E. 152nd St., New York City. $3000 for sale if original of above letter proving genitalis cannot be produced.
