In 1835 he was elected to the professorship of ana- tomy and surgery in the Vermont uni— v-ariity. In lS-ll he was appointed lec- r-iil'ul' on mater-in. inedicn and medical botany in Dartmouth college. The next year he was chosen professor of the chair then vacated by Prof. Robbv. and occupied the chair, the most im- portant one in the country, until a few years before his death in 1830. He had for ,3 cars foreseen the dangers of the American way of living. He went about to find a scientific common sense remedy to cure the common evils that under one name and another, result truth on unhealthful state of the ner- mus system, and Within a score of years Luv: Seemed to be sweeping over the country like an epidemic. lie succeeded. He gave to the medical profession a celebrated remedy, which has since come to be known the world over as Paine’s celery compound. ‘ It was Dr. Phelps’ prescription which evrer since has been freely used and prescribed by the most eminent of the profession. The formula was furnished to all reputable physicians. They found New Fiaven, Conn., and graduated in ' the wonderful remedy to be exactly what was claimed for it, as great nerve and brain strengthener and restorcr. It was demonstrated beyond doubt that Paine’s celery compound would cure nervous debility and exhaustion, neuralgia, sleeplessness, dyspepsia and all blood diseases. It was as harmless as it was good, and it was the universal advice of the medical profession that the compound be placed where the general public could secure it, and thousands of peo- pic have every year proved the Wisdom of this good advice. The recent advice of Commodore Howell to use this compound, which the commodore publicly said had saved his own life, and the published testi- monials of Mayor McShane of Mon- treal, the poet author Hardy, George Wright, Marie Tempest, Councillor Morse, Mabel Jenness and other men and women of national reputation has brought the compound into special no- tice. As a well known physician in this city suys: “Paines’ celery compound is not a patent medicine; it is not a sarsiparilla; it is not a mere tonic; it is not an ordinary nervine—it is as far beyond them all as the diamond is su- perior to cheap glass.” , . . ’ 1'; vi" . ,pfl I 1 ,-l' I" s : ’3 f1, " . l s 5? ..,- ii Chartered and incorporated by Special Act of Legislature.

CHINA Is AT JAPAN’S MERCY Creelman’s Account of the Atrocities He “'itnessed—W’hat Provoked the Slaugh- ter, Which Continued Through Three Terrible Days. NEW YORK, Dec. 21.—James Creeiman, the correspondent in the east of the New York World, has furnished full details of the taking of Port Art-bur by the Japanese army under command of Field Marshal Oyama and the massacre of the Chinese inhabitants. His account abounds in hor- rors. There is no longer, he says, 3 Chi- nese army, ”and the advance of the Japa- nese is a pure march of conquest. Regard- ing the barbarous destruction of life by the Japanese, Mr. Crcclman completely ex- poses the Japanese authorities’ attempts to excuse or make it appear less horrible. Great efforts were made to induce the war correspondents on the scene to shut their eyes to the real character of the willful and brutal waste of life. It was. the law of war to kill the soldiers Of the one y who rc- ,fi.... FIELD'MAnsnAL OYAMA. sisted and could not be taken prisoners, it was argued. But the correspondents would not be hoodwinkcd and pointed to the murder of scores of unofi‘ending inhabit- ants, women and children, and refused to conceal from the world the bloody work of the armed assassins. Mr. Creclman says: “Japan stands disgraced before the world. She has violated the Geneva convention, dishonored and profaned the Red Cross and banished humanity and mercy from her councils. Victory and a new lust for dominion have set her mad.” Some Awful Scenes. Some of the scenes of the willful carnage that he witnessed Mr. Creelman describes as follows: When the Japanese troops poured into Port Arthur, they saw the heads of their slain comrades hanging by cords, with the noses and ears gone. There was a rude arch in the main street decorated with bloody Japanese heads. A great slaughter followed. The infuriated soldiers killed every one they saw. I can say as an eye- witness that the wretched people of Port Arthur made no attempt to resist the in: vaders. The-f Japanese now claim that ' shots were‘ffl’red from the windows and doorways, but the statements are utterly false. I saw a man who was kneeling to the troops and begging for mercy pinned to the ground with a bayonet, while his head was hacked off with a. sword. Another Chinaman cowered in a corner while a squad of soldiers shot him to pieces. An old man on his knees in the street was out almost in two. Another poor wretch was shot on a. roof top. Still another fell in the street and was bayoneted through the back a. dozen times. Just below me was a hospital flying the Red Cross flag, but the Japanese fired up- on the unarmed men who camc out of the doorway. \Vomen and Children Hunted. A merchant in a fur cap knelt down and raised his hands in entreaty. As the soldiers shot him he put his hands over his face. I saw his corpse the next day. It was slashed beyond recognition. Women and children were hunted and shot at as they fled to the hills with their protectors. The town was sacked from end to end, and the inhabitants were butchered in their own homes. About 5 o’clock there was a sound of music on the parade ground, where all the generals assembled with the field marshal ——all save N oghi, who had gone in pursuit of the retreating enemy. What cheering and what handshaking! What solemn strains from the band! _ And'hll the while we could hear the rattle of rifle volleys in the streets and knew that helpless people of the town were being slaughtered in cold blood and their homes pillaged. That was the coldest night of the year. The thermometer dropped to 20 degrees ”above zero. While the women and children were freezing out in the mountains the work of exterminating the men went on all night. In the morning I walked through the streets. Everywhere I saw bodies torn and mangled as if by wild beasts. The slain shopkecpers lay piled in the roadway, with tears frozen in their eyes and bloody icicles hanging from their wounds. Dogs were whimpering over the stark corpses of their masters. Here and there the famishcd animals were tearing at the flesh of human bodies still warm. Sickening Sights. While in company with Mr. Cowan I came across a corpse which had been be- headed. The head lay two or three yards away, and a dog was tearing the neck. A Japanese sentry looked on and laughed. Then I saw a white haired, toothless merchant'disemboweled on the threshold of his OWn shop, which had been looted. Another victim had his breast ripped open by a Japanese sword, and a pet dog lay shivering under his arms. There was a dead woman lying under a heap of slain men in every conCeivable at- titude of agony and supplication. At one corner there were 25 corpses in a pile. The soldiers had been so close to their victims that the clothes had caught fire and partly roasted the dying men. Twenty feet away was a. white bearded, wrinkled man, with his throat cut and his eyes and tongue torn out. . Nowhere the signs of a weapon, nowhere the sign of war. It was a sight that would damn the fairest nation on earth. ' The Japanese had tasted blood, and the work wont on the second day. I saw soldiers trampling over the twitch- ing bodies of dying men to rob their , Newsboys wanted. NO attempt to take prisoners was made. ~ thinner lllllllilll ‘ ' if"; «1-32 -- - ‘1 - . .‘Jlm: -‘Amz'. . a ‘ut‘n.'.. gag... ._-_ O o iHigliestcf allin ‘Leavening Ferrari-(Latest U. $.,Gov’t Report am Boki ” ' Powdrg‘ ‘ Assaults“ puma causes. “river:- was no attempt. in mineral the appalling «rim: 1:. Shame had van- ished. it was h a trending to see men dodging around corners like hunted beasts and kneeling for mercy. but getting none. All through the second day the reign of murder continued.

Just at dawn on the morning 0“ (“10 third do? after the battle .1 was aha. -_ .:.; by the sound of 1' lie shots. They were .~.. ll.‘ at it. I went out and wow a body of mi— diers, led by an Officer, chasing thrcc . men. One carried a. naked infant in his arms. As he run he dropped the baby. 1 found it an hour later, dead. Two of the men were shot down. The third, the fa— thcr of the baby, tripped and fell. In an instant a. soldier had pounced upon his back with a naked bayonet in his hand. I ran forward and-made the sign of the red cross on the white noncoxnbatant’s bandage around my arm. but the appeal was useless. The bayonet was plunged three or four times into the neck of the prostrate man, and then he was left to gasp his life out on the ground. I hurried back to my quarters and awak- ened Frederic Villiers. who went with me to the spot where I had left the dying’ man. He was dead, but his wounds were still smoking. While we were bending over the corpse we heard shouting a. few yards around a road and went forward to see what it was. We saw an old man standing in the road with his hands tied behind his back. On the ground beside him were the writhing bodies Of three other pinioned men who had been shot. As we advanced a soldier shot the old man down. He lay in the road on his back, groaning and rolling his eyes. The soldiers tore his shirt away to see tho blood run from his breast and shot him a second time. His features twitched, and his body was convulsed with pain. The soldiers spat in his face and jeered at him. We turned away from the place. Ro- member, thi= was the third day after the battle. Next day i went in company with Mr. Villiers to see a courtyard filled with muti- lated corpses. As we entered we surprised two soldiers bending over one of the bodies. One had a knife in his hand. They had ripped open the corpse and were cutting the heart out. When they saw us, they cowered. and tried to hide their faces. 1 am satisfied that not more than 100 Chinamen were killed in fair battle at Port Arthur, and that at least 2, 000 unarmed men Were put to death. It may be called the natural result of the fury of troops who have seen the muti- lated corpses of their comrades, or it may be called retaliation, but no civilized na- tion could be capable of the atrocities I have witnessed in Port Arthur. Every scene I have described I have looked upon myself either in the presence of the Ameri- can and British military attaches or in company of Mr. Cowan or Mr. Villiers. This may be warfare, but it is the war- fare of savages. It takes more than one generation to civilize a people. The field marshal and all his generals were aware that the massacre was being continued day after day. Highbindcrs In Frisco. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 21.—Chinese Highbinders have inaugiu'ated a. reign of terror in the Mongolian quarters. These bandits, mar: .' of whom are ex-convicts who have escaped the deportation clause of the exclusion law, are driven desperate through poverty, and burglaries, robberies and shooting and stabbing affairs are of daily occurrence. Chinese women of the worst class and small traders are the most frequent victims. Corbett Keeps on Talking. SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 21.—Champion J. J. Corbett is here. He says pugilism has reached its highest point and from now on will gradually decline, and the fight be- tween himself and Fitzsimmons will be the last great battle of the ring.

Bridge- man died in Evanston’ at the age of 76. He was born in Fairfax county, Va., and during the forties enlisted in the marine corps of the United States. While in the service he traveled through almost every country in the world. When the Mexican; war broke out. he joined the Mounted Rifle regiment, which afterward became t 9 ~ Third cavalry. He was wounded at the battle of Chapultepec and was afterward made a sergeant for his bravery. In 1855 he met Allan Pinkerton, the founder of the detective agency, and went into his service. When the war of the rebellion broke out, Mr. Pinkerton was placed in charge of the secret service of the United States army, and chief among his aids was Bridgeman. At one time be, together with Pryce Lewis, was detailed to find out the strength and fortifications of the Confederate troops in West Virginia. Lewis was disguised as an English nobleman, and Bridgeman was his servant. They boldly went to General Wise at Charleston and told him they would like to know something about the real condition of affairs. The general en- tertained them royally and told them all they wanted to know. They remained as Wise’s guests for about three weeks, bade adieu to their host and started ostensibly to drive to Richmond, but in reality to a crossroads through the Kanawha. moun- tains, and eventually landed on the Ohio river. General McClellan at once advanced the troops and brought on the battles of Rich Mountain and Laurel Hill, the first Federal victories during the war. After the war Bridgeman returned to Chicago as an operative in the employ of Pinkertons’ National Detective agency and had been with them continuously ever since then, although for the last three years Bridgeman had been retired on a pension. The funeral will take place tomorrow. FAVOR COLORED LABOR. New Orleans Shipowners Break Up the ‘ ‘Vhite Organizations. NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 21.—All cotton la.- bor on the levee was suspended. Before the November election, when the state and city ofi‘icials feared for political reasons to take too strong measures to restrain the White labor from interference with the colored, the white sorewmen and long- shoremen declined to work with the color- cd men, and this and the riots which the an« nouncement of this determination caused drove the colored longshoremen and screw? men off the levee. The colored men have since been in consultation with the stove— dores and ship agents and finally submit-. ted a proposition to work for 40 cents an' hour, the whites charging 50. The agents virtually accepted the Offer by announcin that the men would hereafter be employe ,. irrespective of color, at that figure. The white screwmen had claimed that they had no control over the white longshore- men, but nevertheless both the white screwmen and longshoremen quit work, refusing to handle cotton delivered by col- ored men. The ship agents now propose to recommence the loading of ships with colored labor and thus break up’the two white organizations and have been prom- ised ample police protection from interfer- ence.
