P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial neuralgia and rheumatism, after three years of intense suffering. The pain lay in his cheek bone and temple, down the right side of his face, along his upper lip, and from the slightest touch he suffered agonies for weeks at a time. Could only open his mouth wide enough to admit a teaspoon, and any acid in his food would put him in torture. He had a consultation of the best physi- cians in Texas, but all to no purpose. Catarrh and rheumatism were also causing him much trouble, until he . tried P. P. P. He says he is well and will swear that there are no cases of neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism, no matter how chronic or how old the cases are, that P. P.

THE RECRUITS NUMBER 2,500 Trousers Blakers Are the Latest to Stop Work — One Concern Gives In and the Men Go Back. -——~h w Leader Schocnfeld Regards Strikes. New York, May 26.—After a lull Of five days the tailors' strike took on new life today- The trousers makers, who for some time have hesitated as to whether they would strike, finally de- cided to do so‘ last night and went out today practically in a body. There are about 2,500 of them in this city, Brook- lyn and Bro‘wnsville, and their action will probably have the result of com- pelling the vestmakers to stop work. With both the coatmakers and trousers makers on strike, there will soon be no work for the vestmakers to do. . Word was also received from Newark today stating that 800 Lithuanian tai- lors‘in that city had struck, partlyin sympathy with the Brotherhood tailors, who are already out in that city. and partly because they were themselves dissatisfied. . 'The news of these two accessions to their ranks caused considerable joy among the strikers when they assem- bled at I'Valhalla hall, and revived for a sadly drooping state for lack of excite- ment in the past few days. Together with that news, however, they received a report which was not so encouraging. The Progressive tai- lors, a socialisticorganization, have all along been expected to organize a sym— pathetic st'rike. Great opposition to such a movement, however, developed They told Leader Schoenfeld today that the majority of the Pro- gressive tailors were too well satisfied with their present condition to go on strike, but they assured them they would not take any work belonging to the Brotherhood tailors. That assurance does not count for much, for the simple reason that the Progressive tailors very seldom handle the class of work to which the strikers are accustomed. The Progressives do a higher grade of work. 'Large Number Out. There is little doubt but, numerically speaking at least, the strike has now reached its height. The leaders declare that fully 25,000 men are out, but the manufacturers think that if the esti— mate were halved it would be nearer correct. One shop opened up again today. The corner of East Broadway and Gouver- neur street. Cohen signed an agree- ment yesterday promising the men a general advance of $200 in the gross amount of wages paid to his employee. The leaders of the strike, while they would have liked to have made better terms, were finally persuaded that these were the best that could be obtained and accepted them. The 250 employees of the shop went back to work today. Schoenfeld said that other shops would also be reopened tomorrow. “Three manufacturers,” he said, “have already signed our prepared wage scale, and I expect to get the signatures of at least half a dozen more. The contract- ors that do the work for these manu- facturers will be permitted to Open their shops tomorrow.” Samuel Gompers, the president of the American Federation of Labor, has ar- ranged to call upon Schoenfeld. The proposed parade and open air mass meeting Of the strikers will, be discussed between them, and a definite decision reached as to the advisability of hold- ing it. Gompers, it is understood, is not altogether in favor of such a dem- onstration. Schoenfeld made public today a list of the contractors against whom ‘unsat- isfied judgments had been obtained by the strikers since 1896. There are 16 of these judgments, and the total amount of them is $263.46. They average about $12, though there is one for $75. How Schoenfeld Regards Strikes. Schoenfeld has always looked upon a strike among his people as a business matter. It is resorted to at a time when the tailors, competing among themselves, have broken all the union prices for work, have, offered or con- sented secretly to work over hours, have underbid one another till every clause of the agreement is void. Wages are forced down to an intolerably low level by this dishonorable process, by this breach Of. contract by both em- ployer and employee. Everybody is hurt by it. The manufacturers are un- dersold by those of their number who get lower rates from their contractors: the contractors are beaten in the fight for orders by those of their association who get work at the lowest wages, and the men lose their jobs to thOSe Of their unions who work for the least wages. But the process goes on and the unions have abandoned the hope of staying it; they go out of existence practically after a strike is settled. Myer Schoen- feld becomes an insurance agent. Then when the agreements are smashed again in six of eight months, the men cry out for him and his union to save them from themselves, and the strike is on. It is a joyous vacation time for a few weeks, but after that it is a bore and a hardship, not, however, a bad thing. as this leader manages it, ex- cept for the misuse of it by newspapers that do not want to understand it.

The Texas rangers form a military organization peculiar to the Lone Star State. Never'w-as there a more appro- priate name for the fighting portion of’ a frontier people. From the beginning it has been their business to range over the frontier and hunt thieves and outlaws, and fight bands of hostile In- dians. ‘ At this time there are only a few companies of rangers in the field. Doubtless Capt. Brooks’company, with headquarters at Cotulla, is not only the most conspicuous organization in the service, but one from which the most is eitpected. Thisconrpany is engaged in' protecting and guarding the Rio Grande border. A ranger carries a W'incbesier in a scabbard attached to his saddle under his left leg. . “'ith, a'revolver at his belt, the inevitable lariat at the horn of his saddle, a blanket and. a little wallet containing a morsel of food, the ranger is accoutered for galloping over a hundred or more miles of the Rio Grande plains without ever dis- m-ounting. This company lives in camp and their presence on the border is accounted for by' the fact that the‘ country for a considerable distance on both sides of the Rio Grandc is the hiding place for dcsperadoes, outlaws and cattle thieves. . A stout ranger tells a story of a re- cent battle with a desperate outlaw that presents features of such asturt- ling and horrible character that the bare recital of the cold facts taxes the credulity of one not familiar with scenes upon a field of carnage. This ranger suddenly rode within earshot of the man he wanted, and he called to him to surrender. The outlaw re- plied with a rifle shot, accompanying the echo of‘the firearm with a laugh and the words, “The guard dies; it never surrenders.” ‘.‘Ah, you have been " ».\__' A TEXAS RANGER AND HIS COMPANIC‘N. reading Victor Hugo while hiding in the brush,” muttered the ranger to him- self. The ra'n‘ger opened fire with his Winchester, but his horse was almost flying-\over the rough ground, and he failed to put a bullet either in the body of the thief or his horse. He drew his revolver, but to his chagrin there was something wrong with the mechanism of the weapon, and it failed to fire. A dozen bullets whistled about the ranger’s head, but fortunately not one struck him. It soon became evident to both parties that each one had emptied his weapons. The ranger, by the merest accident? had at his belt an old Mexicon sword. It was a long, straight blade, as sharp as a razor and resembling a monster Bowie knife more than anything else. - .z' He was almost at the heels of the outlaw’s horse, and happening to think of the old sword, he drew it-from the scabbard and, swinging it over his head, once more he called to the out- law to surrender, but the desperate man replied by driving the steel into the'flanks of his horse. The bright blade flashed through the air, and stuck the outlaw on the back of the neck. 'It was a master stroke, the re- sult of which astonished the ranger. The head of the outlaw spun through the air and fell into a bunch of cactus. That of itself was sufficiently horrible, but there was something still more amazing and blood‘curdling in front of the ranger. The headless trunk of the outlaw did not fall from the flying horse. The blood was Spurting high into the air from the arteries of the neck, but the body sat in the saddle with arms and legs clinging to the au- imlal and looking ts rigid as if they were made of iron. A-dozen or more ranchers who were riding the range had heard the firing, and they were riding in a gallop to the ranger’s assistance from an opposite direction. As they rode over a low ridge the first thing they saw was the headless outlaw, net twenty steps away, and coming to ward-s them as if the horse’s feet were ‘ Not one lacked courage. They had proved that in a dozen battles, but \they had al- ready began to retreat into the brush, too much terrified to open their months, when the headless body of the outlaw dropped frOm the saddle and struck the sand like a log of wood. The body had clung to the saddle for 200 yards. The ranchers corroborate the story of the ranger, and they say that the arms and legs of the dead man were like pieces of iron. The limbs were so firm and rigid that it would have been im- possible to have bent them in any di- rection without breaking them. ,The-Texas rangers are brave men. It is doubtful whether there is another military organization on earth that en- dures so many hardships and faces so many dangers. \Jlu soldiers familiar with campaigning say they would rather serve in the ranks of any army in Europe during actual war than to be a Texas ranger. ‘Vi’stchi‘ul and grave enough while riding through the cactus, the moment that: they get out ”on the plains where they can 1001; about tllcmfthey are ready Lo tell a story or sing .3 soug.—--St. Louis Globe Democrat. ‘ ., ' ,DAINTY LINGERIE. Silk Underwear Fashiona‘sble Again After 3. Period -of Eclipse. (By Special Arrangement with the N.Y. Sun.) Women’s undergarments are quisitely dainty and beautiful this spring. Beruflied and befrillei liu~ gerie has held its own against vigor- ous attacks made by dress reformers, health culturists, and short-skirted sis- terhoods, to say nothing of the organ- ized efforts of new women to oust it: The finest articles of underwearure made of silk, nainsoOk, and linen lawn. 'It makes a woman glad she is a woman just to 100k at them, wheth- er she c-en afford to indulge herself in a single piece or not. For a time silk lingerie fell somewhat into disre- pute, but is now-.possibly more fash- ionable than any other. Word comes from Paris that the latest fad there is for undergarments of flaming red silk in all the new shades, varying from the soft reds to the brightest scarlets. but these Mephistophelean freaks have not yet reached this shore. It is said, however, that they will be landed later on. Pale pink, pale blue, purple, and yellow China silk sets, both fig- ured and plain, are displayed in some of the most exclusive shops and are be- ing much worn. They consist of the four regulation pieces and two under— skirts, one being very short. Dimity underwear, in white, pink, light and dark blue and lilac, is be- ing worn. It is much betrimmed with lace and the colors are fast. It saves lining thin dresses and freshens them up after being laundered. These sets are far cheaper than those made of silk and fire almost as effective. The night dress with the square yoke shown in the illustration is also made of. French nainsook. The trim- ming is of fine heading and Maltese lace, and it is as practical and com- fortable as it is pretty." That little garment, the corset cover, plays an important part in the success Or failure of the summer girl’s ward- robe, for upon it depends the fit of her sheer dimities, gauzy organdies, and dainty Swisses and batistes. All of the newest models are gathered into a belt at the waist and can be let out or drawn in at will. Most of them are laid in plaits or finely .tucked behind but they fire marvels of Lelabonateness in front.

This hero "and idol, this superb sol- dier and worshipped leader, was quite a dilferent being in person and attain- ments from the popular notions of him‘ that are still prevalent. People think because he was a man of action and loved the people that he must have been ignorant, peasant-like, and with popular free and easy manners; not at all; he had been a professor of mathematics. This is .what M. Dupon-t says *of his appearance at their meeting: “The man is small, delicate, nervous, but his small gray eye flashes like pol- ished steel; he has a kind voice; he wears eyeglasses, owing to his short sight.” But this little, delicate, short-sight- ed mathematician, who was ’a sulfering invalid long before he ceased to be a soldier, was not only the greatest per- sonal hero of his century, he was a poet as well; his proclamations and public letters to his beloved Italians are full of poetry, and here is a frag- ment from one call to arms at the darkest hour of the Italian struggle for liberty. which shows how sublime and profound that poetry could be: “In return for the love you may show your countryfi’ he wrote, “I offer you and weariness and death; cepts these terms let him follow me.” When, in the history of nations, was there ever so consummately daring, noble, and sagacious an appeal as that? No wonder a General who so understood the latent heroism of hu- man nature was never disappointed in his followers—Chicago Inter-Ocean.

A great jewfish was caught off La J olla deep beds lately. Two men were out in a small rowboat. Gazing into the humid waters of the ocean they could easily distinguish six or eight monster. jewfish idly cruising thirty or forty feet below searching for a lunch- eon. A book baited with a tempting Whitefish was lowered before the noses of the hungry monsters and watched eagerly by the anglers, who could easily see every movement of the finny game. One big black fellow after another would paddle up to the innocent look- ing bait, smell of it and back away. Something seemed to arouse their sus- picion. 1. Finally one old veteran, the largest of the school, advanced to the lure. The huge mouth opened. The jaws mapped down on the bait. The anglers were delighted. Waiting for half a‘ minute until the fish had the bait well swallowed they gave the line a sharp jerk. The steel hook penetrated the‘ vitals of the fish. The agonizing shock stimulated the creature to a fierce plunge into the lower depths of the sea. Twenty fathoms.of stout line paid out from the bow of the boat in a. twinkling. So rapidly did the line pay out that water was thrown on the smoking coil to prevent it burning. The fish hit the floor of the sea and then sped toward Japan like the Wind, drag- ging the boat almost bows under in its wake. Half a mile ran ran the fish. Then, partially' exhausted, it sulked, made a few feeble efforts to escape, was drawn to the surface and dis‘ patched with a knife. It weighed 453 pounds, was 6 feet 2 inches long, 19 inches from tip to tip of the tail, and _ of 5 feet girth.—SanFrancisco Call. hunger and nakedness and wounds: . whoso ac- ' ~ mv—H-r-rfl— nis'oreed Brief; The base young man listened pa- tiently to the remarks of the distin~ guished ecclesiastic.
