—the frightful inroads of Scrofula

and all blood-taints. Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery purifies
and enriches the blood, cleanses the
system of all impurities, and restores
health and strength. It cures all
diseases arising from impure blood.
Consumption is one of them. It’s
simply lung-scrofula. In all its ear-
lier stages, the “ Discovery ” effects
a. cure. It’s easy to see why. The
medicine that masters scrofula in
one part, is the best remedy for it in
another. It is the best. It’s war-
ranted. It’s the only blood and lung

.,.remedy that’s guaranteed to benefit

or cure, or the money will be re-
funded. NO other medicine of its
class does it. How many would be
left if they did?

It’s the cheapest blood-purifier,
sold through druggists, (no matter
how many (loses are offered for a.
dollar,) because you only pay for
the good you get.

Your money is returned if it
doesn’t benefit or cure you.

RUSSIA’S LATEST THREAT.

England’s Dardanclles Demonstrntlnn

Every Blow Struck at Russia Will

CALCUTTA, Sept. 20.—Dispatches fl'H.“
Rangoon, the capital of British ll.
mah, announce that a feeling of grrv
anxiety prevails there. Natives who 1‘]:- v .
arrived there report that Dacoits arc
sembling about Wuntho, under the lea?

Russia Threatens England.
LONDON, Sept. 2.-—'l‘he Moscow Gazette
publishes a menacing article in connection
with its report of the movement of Rus-
sian troops along the frontier of: Afghan—
istan. In this article The Gazette boldly
boasts that the impudent demonstration

of England in the Dardancllcs matter will

receive its answer in Asia, where there} is
no triple alliance to assist her. Every
blow struck at Russian diplomacy in Eu-
rope, The ,Gazette declares, will be met by
a. counter blow in Asia.

The Benbow’s Failure.

The return to Chatham of the Benbow.
an armored vessel of twelve guns, 10,600
tons and 11,500 horse power, has greatly
dismayed the admiralty. The Benbow is
commanded by Captain Rawson and re-
turns from the Mediterranean station,
where she has been flying the pennant of
Vice Admiral Watson.

The cause of the vessel’s return and the
chagrin of the officials is the unsatisfac-
tory workings of her 110-ton guns. \Vhile
those on the Victoria, fifteen guns, the
flagship of the Mediterranean squadron,
Vice Admiral Sir Anthony Hoskins, and
the Sans Pareil, carrying the same num-
ber, are admitted to be failures, it has al-
ways been maintained that those on the
Benbow were worth all the money that
has been expended on them.

Caprlvl In Optimistic:

BERLIN, Sept. 29,—Upon the occasion of
the jubilee of the Seventy-eighth infantry
regiment at Osnaburg, Hanover, Chancel-
lor von Caprivi made a long optimistic
speech upon the political situation in Eu-
rope. He said that the apprehensions in
some quarters as to whether existing con-
ditions would be maintained were not war—
ranted. . -

Not one of the sovereigns, he added,
wished to disturb the peace or to provoke
a European war. Even the reapproach-
ments between states which had recently
occurred did not afford ground for alarm.

None Desires War.

They were merely the expressions of all
ready existing circumstances. Perhaps
they were nothing more than the establish—
ment of a European equilibrium as it
formerly existed. No European govern-
ment, the chancellor continued, desired
war, which in its sufferings and conse‘
quences would probably be. more terrible
than any preceding conflict.

The internal affairs to which the cm
peror was devoting special attention, he
said, would also be brought to a satisfac-
tory issue, though the process might ex-
tend over decades. The government, the
chancellor, concluded, had the interests of
the employed and the employers at heart.

The German Helmet to Go.

As one result of the emperor’s Observa-
tion of the experiments with the new
smokeless powder it is said that the gov-
ernment will act favorably and speedily
on the report of the commission which
some time since recommended the aboli-
tion from, the army of the steel spiked,
brass ornamented and dangerously con:
spicuous helmet. The headpiece thus dis-
carded will :be replaced by a. cloth cap or
kepi of a design not yet decided upon.

Russia’s Food Problem.

LONDON, Sept.' 29.—A St. Petersburg disrx
patch says that attention having been
called to the continued exportation of rye,
bread and dough from Libau, an outcry is
arising for an inquiry into the state of the
corn markets in order to prevent speculal
tors from holding back grain. In Kiefl
the famine fund now amounts to 250,000
rubles.

The Egyptian Question.

ROME, Sept. 29.—In an interview with
Signor Bazilai at Constantinople, Said
Pasha said that Lord Salisbury had
consented to re-examine the Eyptian
question on the expiration of his vacation,
and that the basis of all negotiation is
that the English occupation shall not be
followed by that of any other power.

A Wife’s Horrible Suicide.

SALEM, Mass, Sept. 29.—-Mrs. Catherine
F. Felt, aged twenty-eight, poured two
quarts of kerosene oil over her clothing
and lighted it. In a moment she was
wrapped in flames. She ran out of the
house, followed by the members of the
household, and proceeded some distance
in the street, the air fanning the flames
until her clothing was burned to a. cinder.
The passers by smothered the flames with
quilts and doormats and the woman was
taken to Salem hospital, where she died.
Her clothing was so burned into the flesh
that it could not be removed. Mrs. Felt
had quarreled with her husband, Warren
Felt, and had gone to live with James
Gough, her father. Her suicide was caused
by the fact that her pug dog had been
killed and its collar sent to her, as she be-
lieved, by her husband.

I'AEO’S WASHINGTON STATUE.

Dedicated by Cardinal Gibbons and I
Number of Prominent Catholics.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29. — The marble
s atue of the pope, presented to the Cathd
go university by Mr. Joseph Loubat, of

eW York, was unveiled here. The exer-
CIses were simple, but were participated in
by Cardinal Gibbons and a large number
of prominent members of the priesthood,
as Well as of the laity. Bishop Kane do-
livered the principal address. Among
those present were Archbishop Corrigan,
Mgr. Preston, of New YOrk, and Arch-
bishop Williams, of Boaton. The statue
Is the work of Guiseppe Luchetti, one of
the best known of the modern Italian
school. It has occupied him over a year,
and its total cost has been over $20,000.

The model of the statue was submitted
to the pope for his approval, and in return
for the gift the pontiff conferred the title
of count upon Mr. Loubat. The statue is
of the size known to sculptors as semi-
colossal and represents the pope seated on
the pontificial throne, vested in cassock,
alb, stole and cape. On his head is the
tiara, or triple crown. The right hand is
raised in the act of giving the blessing,
while the left hand rests easily on the arm
of the throne. A duplicate of this statue
is to be presented by Count Loubat to the
town of Carpinetb, the pope’s birthplace.
Three sides of the pedestal bear inscrip-
tions. On one are the papal arms, which
are the armorial bearings-bf the Pecci
family, of which the popeis a member.
0n the opposite side are the arms of Mr.
Loubat as Roman count.

,INGALLS GOES, FOR GOULD.

The President of the Big Four Contro-
dlcts the Wall Street Wizard.

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.—A special to The
Tribune from Cincinnati says: “President
Ingalls, of the Big Four system, was seen
last night with reference to the interview
with Jay Gould in which Mr. Gould com-
plains that there has been a combination
of six roads to injure the Missouri Brclfic
in its grain trade and to send all the busi-
ness to Chicago.

“Mr. Ingalls says this is all bosh. The
only combination made by the roads to
which Mr. Gould referred was to keep up
prices. Mr. Ingalls said that when it is
thought the grain trade of the railroads is
only 15 per cent. of the traffic the asser-
tion of Mr. Gould is ridiculous.

“Regarding the statement of Gould that
he had ordered his brokers to_ buy Big
Four stock in large quantities, Mr. In galls
asserted that he did not believe it. Gould
had often told Mr. Ingalls that he would
send freight over the Big Four, but had
failed to do so. The trouble probably was
that Gould could not get better rates than
anybody else. ‘Since the Baring failurc,’
said Mr. Ingalls, ‘Gould has been short
on several stocks and has not been able to
catch up.’ ”

Death of William H. liemblo.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 29.—Wi11iam II.
Kemble, who served two terms as treas-
urer of this state and who was a noted
financier and street railway magnate, is
dead, from an attack of heart disease.
Mr. Kemble, who was in his sixty-fourth
year, was born in Woodbury, N. J., and
commenced life as a. poor boy. The for-
tune which he leaves is estimated at from
$3,000,000 to $5,000,000. Twice in his career
Mr. Kemble achieved unenviable notoriety
-—once as the outhor of the famous “addi-
tion, division and silence” letter to Titian
J. Coffee, of \Vashington, and again in
1878, when he was convicted of bribing
members of the state legislature to vote
for the riot bill, which would have en-
riched the Pennsylvania railroad $3,000,000
at the expense of the state. Mr. Kemble
fled after he was convicted, but was im-
mediately pardoned.

A Scathlng Denunclntlon.

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.—The confederated
Irish societies of Chicago have issued an
address warning the Irish and the Ameri-
can people against the promoters of the
coming convention of the Irish National
League. The objects of the promoters, the
address says, are as dishonest as their
methods. The gathering represents nothing
but the desperate needs of a gang of unscru-
pulous political tricksters, its chief aim be-
ing to force Alexander Sullivan back into
prominence and to place his confederate,
Michael Davitt, at the head of the move-
ment in Ireland as a. recompense “for his
coming to the rescue of the murderers of
Dr. Cronin by a. base and cowardly attack
on the character of the murdered man.”

Flew Across the Continent.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—The private coach
Grassmere, attached to the fast mail over
the New York Central and Hudson River
railway, rolled into the Grand Central de—
pot here, having made the fastest trip on
record from San Francisco to this city. The
coach contaiged John W. Mackey, the
California millionaire, and Miss Fair, the
daughter of Senator James G. Fair. The
actual time of the trip was four days,
twelve hours and twenty-eight minutes,
three hours and forty minutes less than
the best previous record.

Thinks His Case Projudlced.

BOSTON, Sept. 29.-——The detective, George
W. Chapman, who was cited to appear be-
fore the police commissioners on a charge
of collusion with criminals, did not ap-
pear and has surrendered his. license as
private detective. He says he considers
the commissioners have prejudiced his
case.

A Shoe Firm Boycottcd.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 29.—-The general
executive board of the Knights of Labor
have issued a boycott upon the product of
the shoe factory of Messrs. Thomas & Co.,
of Brooklyn, and which is handled and
sold by dealers in nearly every town in the
country.

His Body Cut in Two.

MOUNT MORRIS, N. Y., Sept 29.—William

and had started to walk home on the
track.

Complications Arise Between the
United States and the Junta.

"A HURRIED CONSULTATION.

The President Calls His‘ Advisers to the
Excelltive Mansion to Discuss the
Hostllthtitude of Chili to Amor-
icans in That Country.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.——Diplomatlc com-
lications have arisen between the United
tates and Chili. How serious cannOt

now be stated, but sufficiently grave to
cause a. hurriedly called consultation at
the executive mansion between the presi-
dent and his chief advisers in the state
and navy departments. Acting Secretary
Wharton called, closely followed by Mr.
J. W. Foster, Secretary Tracy and Com-
modore Ramsay, chief of the bureau of
navigation, navy department. The con-
sultation lasted a couple of hours, Secre-
tary Tracy remaining with the president
after the others had gone.
No Information to Give.

Commodore Ramsay came out with sev-
eral press copy books containing official
cablegrams and the book containing the
official cipher of the navy department.

Acting Secretary Wharton also had offi‘
cial papers. He said, in answer to a ques-
tion as to whether mattershad assumed a
serious phase in Chili, that he could not
say anything on tho’ subject. To a. jocular
question if war had been declared he said,
“No.”

Commodore Ramsay would say nothing
about the subject of the conference and
Private Secretary Halford was not ready
to admit that anything out of the ordinary
was going on in the adjoining room occu-
pied by the president as his office.

Chili’s Hostile Act.

In official circles the news from Chili
that a cordon of soldiers had been placed
around the house of the American min-
ister, that entrance could only be ob‘
tained to it by passport furnished by tho
Junta and that American citizens were
being arrested on the streets of Valparaiso
was considered serious business, and while
no official confirmation of the news can
be obtained it is generally credited.

It is known that as far back as last Fri-
day a long cipher cablegram was received
at the navy department from Captain
Schley, in command of the United States
steamship Baltimore in Chillan waters.
A copy of this was immediately sent to the
state dspartment. Since then cablegrams
between the state and navy departments
hays been passing with increased rapidity,
but the contents of none of these c'cmmu‘
nications have been furnished the public.

Considerable Anxiety Obtains.

The bustle and activity about the execu-
tive mansion, in view of all the known
fasts, has caused, therefore, considerable
anxiety. The fact that the day was also
“department day” at the executive man-
s on ave the president full time to confer

lion Chilian matters, as he denies him-
so f to all callers.

Approved by the President.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29,—The president
approved the sentence of the court martial
In the case of Colonel Charles E. Comp-
tOn, Fourth United States cavalry, but
mitigated the sentence to suspension from
rank and command on half pay for two
years. The sentence of the court martial
Was suspension from rank and command

n half pay for three years, and to be con-

hed to the limits of a. military post to be
do lgnated by the secretary of war.

The charge upon which Colonel Comp-
ton was tried was negligence in not exer-
cising proper control over his men. A
soldier of his command was killed by a
citizen of Walla Walla, Wash, and the
murderer was arrested by the civil au-
thorities and placed in jail. The murder
so excited the comrades of the soldier that
they formed themselves into a mob,
stormed the jail and took out the mur-
derer and lynched him.

Roasted by Flaming Oil.

FARGO, N. D._. Sept. 29.—An oil car stand:
lug on a side track here was set in motion
by a shu ting train and started on a down
grade. he oil car dashed on and collided
with the engine of an incoming stock
train withterrific force. In an instant the
oil was in a blaze, and the engine plowed
through the flaming mass. Engineer J.

. Curtis, Fireman Dodge and Brakeman

enton were on the cab of the engine, and
were instantly enveloped in flames. They
