ECZEMA
I suffered with Eczema of the worst kind,
my face and neck down to my shoulders were
one inflammation, was ndt able to see out of
my eyes .for quite a while, and was unable
to sleep for weeks, on account of the severe
‘ pain, which nearly drove-me insane. My face
and neck were swollen and made me look
hideous. Bad three doctors at different times,
and not one of them could relieve me of my
pain, swelling, and blotches. ‘I used three
bottles of CUTICUBA RESOLVEN'I‘, four boxes
Curxcm (ointment), three cakes of CUTI-
cum SOAP, and my friends and one of the
doctors are-surprised, andasked, “ Who cured
you?” and Itell them 'quickly, “CUTICUBA

The College Entertainers, composed
of seven undergraduates from Yale,
Harvard and Wesleyan colleges, gave
a most satisfactory entertainment at
the Congregatioual church on Tuesday,
to a dood sized audience. The pro—
gramme consisted of a number of
selections for mandolins and guitars,
solos and duetts,and impersonations by
Mr. Howe of Yale. The musical
numbers were brilliantly rendered in
every instance and proved a rare treat
for local music lovers. Mr. Howe’s
selections were all of a jovial character
and were exceptionally well rendered.
His rapid changes in manner and
voice from one character to another in
his recitals were highly appreciated
and showed careful training as well as
natural ability. Taken as a whole it
was the best entertainment given in
toWn in a long time, and a return en-
gagement would be sure to receive a
large patronage.
ATournament free to all members
of the club will be held on the links of

to the houses occupied by’Miss Carpen-
ter, C. J. Dann, Joseph McMahon, and

effective manner of drainage will be
arranged.

ORDERS THRICE COUNTERMANDED.
For the Third Time Gen. Copplnger’s
Expedition Has Been Called Off.
Tampa, Fla, Aug. 12.--General Cop-
‘pinger’s expedition to Porto Rico has
been called off and neither the general
nor any of the troops of his command
will go. Three times since the expedi-
tion has been fitting out orders have
been received from the war depart-
ment to rush it, and three times have
these orders been countermanded. The
last order, however, is thought to be
final, and already the work of unload-
ing the transports, on which the Fifth
infantry had embarked its equipage,
has begun. .
That the expedition is not to be sent
is no surprise to any of the soldiers or
officers here, as the actions of the de-
partment regarding it have been look-
ed upon with suspicion for some days.
Even General Coppinger is not sur-
prised at the turn things have taken,
but could not be interviewed on the
subject. That he feels aggrieved over
the matter is known. The volunteer
troops now here, as Well as the Fifth
regiment of regilar infantry,.and the
Fifth regiment of regular cavalry, are
to be sent to Montauk Point, N. Y.,
but when the movement to that place
will begin is not known.
The transports now loading with
stores and supplies will begin to leave
to-day. A large number of Sisters of
Charity from Vl’ashington have arriv-
ed here on their way to Santiago, where
they have been sent by the government
to nurse the yellow fever patients at
that point. Allare immunes and have

TROOPS FOR ST. MlCHAELSo
_.——
, Owing to Threats of Trouble in Alaska 9
Military Post is to Be Established.
San Francisco, Aug. 12.-—The Call
says: Serious trouble in interior- Alaska
is apprehended by the United States
government. '
Food riots are feared at Fort Yukon
and other up the river points, growing
out of the failure of the transportation
companies to get supplies in there on
the prevailing low water.
Acting on instructions received from
Washington, Major General Merriam
will quickly dispatch a battery of ar-
tillery to St. Michaels, the officer in
charge having orders to proceed at
once up to the Yukon river to Fort
Yukon and open a military post for
the coming winter. The expedition will
also carry a large quantity of extra
provisions and supplies to relieve dis-
tress.
When St. Michaels is reached the
commanding officer will promptly levy
on any river boats he may find, seizing
them, if necessary, and will transport
his troops and supplies to their desti-
nation with all possible dispatch. A
form of military government will be
established and good order maintained
in Alaska, even if it requires the ser-
vices of the soldiers and artillery.

The Pension Roll Growip:.
Washington, ~ Aug. 12.—The number
of persons on the United States pension
roll is rapidly reaching the 1.000.000
mark. Commissioner of Pensions Ev-
ans believes that the total will reach
this figure during the current year.
The annual report of Commissioner
Evans is practically complete, although
it has not vet been submitted to Sec-
retary Bliss. .
It cont-aims some interesting facts, the
most important of whichmare the big
increase in the number of pensioners
and increase in the amounts disbursed
in payment of pensions.
During the fiscal year which ended
June 30, 'there was a gain of 17.000 in
the number of pensioners, and during
the same pgriod the value of the pen~
sion role jumped upward. $5,000,000.

Pike's Peak Cog Railroad has signed
a contract for a large observatory to
be built on the top'of Pike’s peak, with
a tower which can be seen for miles.
The structure will be built solidly, so
as to withstand the terrible Wind and
snow storms which rage in winter over
the barren top of the peak.
In the tower will be mounted four
large and powerful telescopes for ob-
servation purposes. With these it will
be possible to see Denver, fifty miles to
the north, and to the west Cripple
Creek will be more plainly visible.

RUSSIA’S VICTORY IN CHINA.
London Believes She Has Bought Li
Hung Chang Body and Soul.
London, Aug. 12.-—The Hong Kong
and Shanghai Bank, which furnished
the. capital for the construction of the
Newehwang Railway, has not received
any official notification of the success-
ful result of Russia’s tactics in China,
designed to block the completion of the
final contract for the line.
If the news of China’s breach of con-
tract is confirmed, the bank will im-
mediately lodge a claim for indemnity.
It is generally believed in the city
that Li Hung Chang has been bought
body and soul by the Russian govern-
ment and the situation rs regarded as
very grave.
In the House of Commons yesterday
Mr. Balfour said that the government
declined to answer whether it had re-
ceived any information that the Bel-
gian syndicate holding the Pekin-Han-
Kow ralnvay concession had transfer-
red its rights to the Russo-Chinese
bank.
Great Britain, he said, had been in-
formed on March 1 last that China
would not admit Germany to preferen-
tial rates, because the railway travers—
ed the Shantung province.
Great Britain, Mr. Balfour added,
was seriously considering the matter
of the Newchwang railway.
THE LEITER WHEAT COLLAPSE.

Far.
Chicago, Aug. 12.——All of the Leiter
holdings of wheat in this country, as
well as that held in joint account in the
Northwast, have been sold. On the
wheat there was a loss of nearly $2,-
000,000, but it was disposed of at the
prices at which it was turned over' to
Armour and Peavey to sell. There is
but one more chapter to Joseph Leiter's
wheat deal. That is 'the payment of
his indebtedness to commission houses.
It is a large amount and ts only par-
tially guaranteed by the elder Leiter.
So far the Leiters are out over $10,000,-
000 on the wheat deal.
Levi Z. Leiter and his wife yesterday
filed for record in Chicago ‘two mort-
gages pledging five pieces of their most
valuable down town real estate, valued
at $2,087,420, to ‘the Northwestern Mut-
ual Life Insurance Company for the
payment of a loan of $1,000,000 which
had been made by that company. The
mortgages were for $200,000 and $800,-
000. Both are for a term of ten years,
and at an interest of 4 per cent. Mr.
Leite-r has to keep up $230,000 insur-
ance.
DAY AVERTS A CRISIS.
Through His Work Italy Gives Colombia
Eight Months’ Time.
Washington, D. 0., Aug. 12.—By ex-
ercising the good offices of rthe United
States tactfully, Secretary Day prob-:
ably has succeeded in averting a seri-
ous crisis in the relations between Italyi
and Colombia, growing out of the Cor-
ruti affair. .
A cablegram has b‘n received at the
department from Rome saying that out
of regard for the United States
Italian government had telegraphed to
Admiral Candiani at Carthagena, Co-
lombia, to give the Colombia govern-
ment eight month.’ time in which to
settle with Corrut'i's creditors under
the terms of President Cleyeland’s aw-
ard. While Colombia has not yet been
heard from in acceptance of this prop-
osition, it is not doubted here that it
will be accepted. a.

terdvay directing that part of the‘ Fourth
army corps which was recently remov-
ed vfrom Tampa to Fernandina, to pro-
ceed at once to Huntsville, Ala., where.
a new camp is being established. The
troops at Tampa. also will be sent to
the Huntsville camp.
The Fernandina camp is another no-
table instance of a. camp site which at
first presented superior advantages as
a quarterlng. place. for troops, but
which has 'since become so unhealth-
ful as to compel the withdrawal of the
troops.
Customs in Porto Rico.
Washington, Aug. 12.-—-The war de-
partment has sent instructions to Gen-
eral Miles regulating the collection of
customs at such Porto Rican ports as
have been captured.

character, similar to the earliest orders

~Shatter at Santiago, and they will be
followed very soon with detailed direc-
tions by mail, embodying the customs
tariff published by the department yes-
terday with the approval of President
McKinley.
Fighting Not Stopped.
‘Washilng-ton, Aug. 12.—-“You can deny
most positively, emphatically and ofli-
cially the report that orders five been
sent to General Miles to stop hostili-
ties in Porto Rico.”
~Secreta.ry Alger made this statement
last nlg when he heard that the re-
port wa abroad that hostilities had

no orders would be sent to General
Miles to stop his campaign until peace
negotiations were signed and execut-

Fan-shaped frames or standards
l the mounting of rare fans, to he used
as a. bit of bric-a-brac, are, of course,
to be had, and are useful when one’s
collection is in! too large. A woman
who had a. number of beautiful fans
contrived for their display by mount-
ing them against a banner of maroon
velveteen. The fans were opened and
stitched fast to the velvet at conven-
ient points where the stitcheswould not
show and no injury could be done to
the fan. The whole banner was then
mounted on a brass rod and hung
sometimes on a door against a portiere,
and, on occasion, with the rod slipped
out, and made fast to a screen panel.

Latest in Wash Fabrics.
New wash -fabrics called “bengao

range of colors and designs. Creped
zephyrs come from Scotch looms in
delicate tints of green, cream, ceil
blue, and mauve. Smoothly woven
French ginghams have a. glossy twill
stripe that looks like satin, and cotton
crepalines are as lustrous of surface as
silk. Watteau designs are printed on
chiffon and sheer India and Swiss mus-
llns. The colorings are exquisite, and
the floral patterns extremely beautiful.

easy to dodge the moth-holes sufi‘icient-

a. ruffle, they are, particularly if in
light designs, extremely effective. They
are more durable than silk ones be-
cause of their laundering qualities,
and soil less easily than those made
of linen or di'mity.
Etnmines Easily Fguzed.
The new etamlnes have a. very open
mesh and a. silky surface. They are
beautiful to look at and come in lovely
colors and designs, but the dressmak-
ers say they are a most difficult mater-
