Steadily Poured, ~Into the
Camp of Disease in
Norwalk.
California Catarrh Cure is perform-
ing its mission in N orwalk. Month by
month thousands are added to the
growing army of its users and friends.
In a few short months it has bounded
into/the foremost position as the most
popular remedy in Norwalk. There
are none in the city now who have not
heard Mill, and the number of those
gho do not use it grows smaller every
ay.
The reasons of its sudden and lasting
popularity are easy to find. Ask the
next man you meet, and he will tell
you it is because it removes the bad
breath, the slime in the throat, and'the
scabs in the nose; because it has stop-
ped the hawking, choking, gagging
and nausea; because it has cured the
aching head, the dry throat, the buzz:-
ing in the ears, broken up stubborn
colds, prevented tonsilitis, diphtheria,
bronchitis and consumption, and per-
manently removed every trace of
catarrh. That is what it has done and
is doing to disease in Norwalk, and on
cures like the following rests its won-
derful popularity:
» Mr. Alfred Platt, 9 Maple street,
N orwalk, says : “I have been a. great
sufferer from catarrh for over thirty
years, having contracted the disease
during the war. My whole head seem-
ed full of scabs, and the discharge
from the nose and into the throat was
something awful. My head ached con-
tinually, and I never gotagood night’s
sleep. I procured a. bottle of Cali-
fornia Catarrh Cure at Plaisted’s drug
store, South Norwalk. It has given
me more relief than I have had for
years; my head is very much improved
and I can now sleep all night. It is
certainly a great reliever, and I am
glad to recommend it. Nothing among
all the things I tried before helped me
one-quarter as much in months as,
0.0.0. has in a few weeks.”
You don’t have to wait to find out if
it will help you, for it relieves at once.
To avoid Hay Fever in its season, use
0.0.0. now. It is a sure preventive of
this and all mucous diseases. All

one dollar.

Not Without Logic.
According to the New York Mall and
Express, that famous Southern clergy-
man, Rev. Dr. Porter, recently told a
good story illustrating the Whimsical
ingenuity of the Ethiopian mind. A
Southern planter, who was puzzled by
the disappearance of a. great deal of
rice, found out that it had been put-
loined by a favorite slave. He sent for
the latter and said: “Sam, I am very
sorry to discover that you are a thief
and have been taking my rice.” The
slave smiled and answered: “I took
your rice, masser; but I’m no thief."
“How do you make that out?” came
the query. ‘ '
“Well, masscr, does I belong to you.
or does I not?”
“Yes, you belong to me.”
“An’ don't that rice belong to you?"
“Certainly."
“,Well, then, if I take the rice and
eat that rice it belong to you still? It
hasn’t gone away from you, and no
other man’s got it, and Icouldn’t have
stolen it, could I?"

night and you never came! I’ll meet
you again to-night whether you come
on whether you.stop away. If I’m
there first, sure I'll write my name on
the gate to tell you of it, and if it’s
you that’s first, why rub it out, dar4
lin’, and no one will be the wiser.
I’ll never fail to be at the trystin’
place, Peggy, for, faith, I can’t keep
away from the spot where you are,
whether you’re there or" whether
you’re not. Your own, PADDY.

to Spain as Planned. The Original 01'-
iders “’ili Be Executed,
Washington, D. 0., July 12.—-Pres-i-
dent McKinley summoned the mem-
bers of .the war board to the White
House at noon yesterday.
Those who responded to the call and
were present at the ensuing conference
were .Secretary Long, Commodore
Sgowmtnshi-elld, Chief of the bureau of
Vlga ion, Ca. tain -
miral Sicard. p Mahan and Ad
The subject of discussion at the con-
ference was the sending of Commodore
Watson’s fleet to menace the coast of
Spain. For several days past President
McKinley has been told by 'a. number
of prominent senators that it would be
a mistake for us -to send a. fleet to
Spain. The argument that they have
used in opposition to the, proposed
movement is that it would unnecessa-
rily complicate our relations with for-
eign governments andwould result in
little material gain to our arms; that,
as it Would be impossible for us to oc-
cupy SpanishA territory, all that we
could do would be to bombard a few
of the coast cities and destroy some
property and lives.
It is significant that the opposition to
the sending of a fleet to Spain at this
time comes from the members of the
old pro-Spanish peace-at-any-price
contingent in the Senate.
On the other hand, the secretary of
the navy, Commodore Crown-inshield
hid the members .of the war board
.re most emphatic in their opposition
to any change in the programme in
fleet to Spain. They urged the presi-
dent yesterday to let the present orders
stand, which require the sailing of the
fleet at the earliest. possible moment,
and rthey stated to himtha-t this course,
in their judgment, is more likely to
bring about. a. (speedy settlement than
anyother that can be adopted.
The secretary as well as the chief of
the bureau of navigation think that the
effect of the appearance of our war-
s‘h‘ip's off the Spanish coast will be to
strengthen the peace party there.
members of,.the war board announced
plans for Watson’s fleet and that with
the exception of certain details in con-
nection with the make up of the fleet
the orders already issued by- the sec-
retary in regard to its sailing wouldrbe
carried out. One member of the board,
however, intimated that some opposi-
tion to the proposed plans for the fleet
had developed at the conference, but
that no change has been made in the
programme. .
Senator Spooner of Wisconsin, who
is a. warm personal friend of the presi-
dent, called at the White House yes—
terday afternoon to bid President Mc-
Kinley goOd bye. As he was leaving the
White House 2be said: “There is, in my
judgment, only one course to pursue.
We should take Santiago just as spee-
dily as possible, leave a strong garni-
son of negro troops in charge of the
place and get the rest of our troops off
the island of Cuba and keep them away
from Cuba until fall.
“I strongly favor the sending of our
fleet to Spain. The conference between
the president and the war board must
have been an exceedingly interesting
one, and there is but little doubt-but
that there is some difference of opin-
ion between the president and the
prominent naval oflicers composing the,
board in regard to the time for dis-
patching our fleet to Spain.”

Many of the'Volunteer-s Eloeing.,A Dene!-
- . ter’s Report. ‘
A1: General Sh-after’s Headquarterl,
July 10, via. Port Antonio/July 12.—
Deserters from the Spanish ranks this
vmorn-ing included one of the non-cim-
missioned officers. He said the situa-
tion in Santiago was bad, but by no
means hopeless from the Spanish point '
of View. He'said the troops had food,
enough for their present needs, were
in good health and Would make a good
fight, when they were called upon. '
He said the men were given $4 each
on Saturday, and as it was .the first
money they had received in many
months, they were feeling very c’heer-
ful. The water supply for the Spanish
.troops is getting quite bad and the am-
ount of it is somewhat limited, al-
though up to this time there has been
no serious distress on this account.
Desertions from the ranks of the
Spanish volunteers continue, and it is
now said that fully 5,000 men, WhJO
have agreed to fight for Spain are out
of the city. '
A party of 500 cavalry left the city
Sunday morning, marching in the di-
rection of Holgu'in. The Spanish infan-
try have removed all light articles from
the trenches to facilitate the move-
ment in case the abandonment of the
city is determined upon.
SPANISH ARMY MUST NOT ESCAPE.
to Shafter,
Washington, July 12.——Notice from
General Shaffer to the effect that. he
proposed to renew the assault and
bombardment of Santiago yesterday in-
tensified the interest with which news
from the from is being aWaited at the
war department, and "there were many
inquiris at the office of the adjutant
general, for the latest diSpatches. To
all did these, but one answer was re-
turned. To General Shaffer had been
given a. free hand to deal with the
situation, «subject to but one condition,
namely, that the Spaniards in Santia-
go must be captured, and he had not
informed the war department as to the
details of his plans further than was
from him Sunday.
The president himself was so much
concerned over the possible escape of
the Spanish force that he directed the
sending of explicit orders to General
Shatter to prevent it at all hazards.
NO YELLOW FEVER IN CAMP. "
Country “filers They Are Stationed In
Not Subject to the Dreaded Scourge. .‘:
Washington, July ,12.-.-Surgeon Gen-
Wyman of the marine
hospital service said yesterday that
neither ‘he nor General Sternberg had,
received any report from their officers
indicating that there was any yellow.‘
fever among the American troops now,
in Cuba. ' ~
All the wounded and sick soldiers
who have been brought to the United
States for treatment have been careful--
ly examined for symptoms of yellow,
fever. .
General wyman said that the only
fever among them was malaria. Gen-:
eral Wyman said that at this time of
year there is always a. large number
of cases-of yellow jack, but he further-
said that thedisease was not preval-
ent in the country surrounding the
camp of the troops on account of the
high hills and mountains.

The men were carried to the hospital
in the camp on Tampa Heights, and
the change from cramped quarters on
Shipboard was greatly appreciated by
all of them. There are not more than
a dozen who are unable to wall:

The main batteries of all of the ships
can be saved.
The board has made four important.

The message was in reply to a tele-
gram sent by the navy department on
Saturday, informing Sampson in regard
.‘t0 the size of the (wrecking force sent
to Santiago, and asking him if he re-
quired anything further. Sampson’s
reply stated that_t-he apparatus and
divers sent by the

GENERAL SHAFTER’S ST'RENGTH
Estimated That He Now Has-22,850»
Fighting Men at. His Disposal.
Washington, July 12.—Genera,l Shaf-
ter’s available force tO-day,
counting all reinforcements and deduct-
ing the dead, sick and wounded, is 22,-
850 fighting men, according to military
estimates.
This is based on an estimate of 16,000
men in General S'hafter’s original ex-
pedition and about 10,000 in various ex-
peditions which have gone since then,
making in all 26,000 men. Against this,
however, must be deducted the casual-
tiesin the fighting thus far, and also
the men confined to the hospital by
sickness.
The deduction 'is roughly estimated
at 3,000, leaving about 23,000 men avail-
able to-d-ay as the fighting force of
the American army.
The reinforcements that have gone—
‘forward are summed up as follows:
Genera-1 Duffield’s brigade, about 2.—
500 men;- recruits for regular army,
950; First Illinois, 950; First District
of Columbia, 850; six light batteries of
United States artillery, .700; General
Garretson’s brigade, Eighth Ohio, 1,300;
Sixth Massachusetts and Sixth Illinois,
2,600. ‘
Another force of 2,500 men, compris-
ing General Ern'st’s brigade, is ready
to start, and with this force General
Shafter‘s fighting strength will be
swelled to about 25,000 men by the mid-
dle of this week. .

This anecdote has nothing earthly to
do with Mr. Wm. F. Knapp, engineer
and fireman at Roth & Goldschmidt’s,
South N orwalk, but it serves to intro-
duce him to the Norwalk public, and
at the same time shows the close rela-
tion between the tinker's work on. the
engine and average humanity’st wh en

Knapp tells how he‘cured his. v'Read
this statement: .
“I am an old time engineer, and like
a. great many men who followed my
calling, the weak spot in my anatomy is
my back, probably caused by becoming
over-heated in a. warm atmosphere and
then expose to cold. Be that as it may,
I had considerable trouble with my
kidneys, and although I used simple
household remedies and on one or two
occasions took medicine, I was never
able to completely rid myself of the at-
tacks. Reading about the. work per-
formed by Doan’s Kidney Pills in and
around. the Norwalks, I came to the
conclusion that they might help me,
and procuringa supply, I commenced
the treatment. After completing it I
was so greatly improved in my general
health that I conscientiously endorse
Doan’s Kidney Pills. ’3

I“ napoleon end. the Plough.
leer-tun. incident connected with the
great Napoleon while he was in exile
at Elba is commemorated in the is-
lend,.to this hour, byen inscription at-
fixed to the wall of epeassnt’s house.
'A’ man named Giaconi was ploughing
when theidamous exile came along one
day, nndexpre‘sse‘d an interest in his
work.» Napoleon even took the
ploughshare out of the man’s hand,
and attempted to guide it himself. But
the oxen refused to obey him, over.
turned the plough, and spoiled the fur-
row: , .
The inscription runs thus:-
“Napoleon the Great, passing by this
place in. MDGGCXIV,“ took -._'1n.,,:{ the _
neighboring meld». o plous'hlhare? from
the hands of a peasant, and himself
tried to plough, but the oxen, rebellious
to those bands which yet had guided
Europe, headlong fled from the fur-
row."

- Spectacled Gown.
Cows with spectacles are to be seen
on the Russian steppes. The .steppes
are covered with snow more than six
months of the year. The cowssubsist
on the tufts of grass which crop above
the snow, and the rays of the sun on
the snow are ”so dazzling as to cause
blindness. To obviate this calamity,
it occurred to a. kind-hearted man to
protect the cows’s eyes in the ,s-ame
way as those of human beings, and he
manufactured smoke-colored specta—
cles which could be safely worn by
cattle. These spectacles were a. great
success, and‘are now w‘orn by upwards
‘of 40,000 head of cattle, who no longer
suffer from the snow-blindness which
once caused such untold suffering
amongst them. ‘
