I A man cannot straddle
the fence when it conu s
to the question of good
health or ill health
Either he marches tin
der the Hag of health or
th. banner of death. It
U the «imnle»t thing in the world to gain
and keep health, if men and women only
will For that reaaon it is almost incredi
ble that men and women will continue to
neglect their health even after they must
realize that they are marching under the
banner of death
The great majority of diseases have their
inception in indigestion, biliousness and
impure blood Among these diseases are
deadly consumption, nerve racking, brain
wrecking nervous prostration and exhaus
tion, body torturing rheumatism, insanity
breeding neuralgia, emaciating malaria and
all manner of disfiguring blood and skin
diseases. i>r Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is a cure for all these diseases, if
taken in anything like reasonable time. It
is not a cure all, but cures the diseases men
tioned for the reason that they are caused
and aggravated by the same disorders, ft
makes the appetite keen, the digestion per
fect, the liver active, the blood pure and
builds firm flesh and healthy nerve fiber.
Don’t be wheedled by a ]M-nny-grabbing
dealer into taking something else.

P. P. P., Lippman's Great Remedy, Saves
a Man From Becoming a Cripple.
Mr. Asa Airinons, n well-known
citizen of Jacksonville, Florida, was
atllieted by a terrible nicer. Medical
skill seemed unavailing in slopping' t he
ravages of the terrible disease. The
leg was swollen and intensely painful,
as the ulcer had eaten its way down
to the very bone. All medicines and
treatments having failed to effect a
cure, the doctors said the leg must
come off. Just when it seemed that
Mr. Ammons would become a disabled
and a crippled man, he tried I’. I‘.
Lippman's Great Remedy, and the re
sult was wonderful.
f P. P. P. SAVES HIS LEG.
“ Jacksonville, Fla., July 1, 1805. —
Two years ago 1 had the worst ulcer
on my leg 1 ever saw. It. had eaten
down to the bone, and my whole leg
below my knee, and my foot was
swollen and inflamed. The bone was
swollen and painful, and discharged a
most offensive matter. My physicians
said I had necrosis of the bone, and
my leg would have to come off. At
this stage I commenced to take I‘. P. P.
and to bathe my leg with hot castile
soap suds. It began to improve at
once and healed rapidly, and is to-day
a sound and useful leg.
“ 1 think P. P. P., Lippman's Great
Remedy, is all a man con'd ask for as
a blood purifier, as 1 have known it to
cure so meterrible eases of blood poi
soning in a remarkably short time.
"ASA AMMONS.”
TERRIBLE BLOOD POISON.
The body covered with sores- two
bottles of P. P. P. made a positive and
permanent cure. This is only one of
many thousand similar eases.
Catarrh yields at once to P. P. P.
That smothered feeling at night, that
heavy feeling in the day —can and
should be removed; P. P. P. will do it
if you only give it a chance.
Ind igestion and constipation go hand
in hand. Headaches and total loss of
appetite arc the results. Regulate
yourself and tone up your stomach
with P. P. P.

•Short Story of the Present
Cuban War and What the
Islanders Have Done.
CONDITIONS AT PRESENT,

The island of Cuba lies just within the

t>KHJIN Gif THE WAR.
The prtsuit war with Cuba had its
origin the close of ISIH. The chief or
gamzur was General Jose Marti, who at
taut time was in New York. The revolu
tion was being ii'alehcd and the date agreed
Uiioii was I?'< oruary 24, 1805.
Maili, with three vessels, left for Cuba,
but Hie expedition was stopped at Fernan
dina, Fia., by the United States authori
ties. in January Marti left New York tor
S.ui iwinlugo, where be joined Geueiul
Maximo Gomez, who had been an able and
famous leader in the former—the ten
year's war. When February 24th arrived
tlie revolution was under lull headway.
Martial law was declared throughout the
island. Spain then had 19,000 men on the
island in addition to -the oii.OOd volunteer
troops. However, to make sure, Spain dis
patched several thousand more of her
troops in the following March. In April
the brothel’s, Antoni'a euid Jose Maceo, to
gether with iCebreco and some twenty or
more other revolutiouairy leaders, arrived
from Costa Rica. Ten days later Jose
Marti and Maximo Gomez arrived from
San Domingo.
THE TROCHA IDEA.
The first concentration of the insurrec
tion was in the ‘Province of Santiago de
Cuba, the most mountainous and most re
mote from from the capital. The Spanish
general, Martinez de Campos, had conceiv
ed the idea of a trocha defense. The idea
of a trocha to fence out an enemy was
thought to be good.
Reports of engagements came In from
time to time, but no serious encounter
took place. During all -this time there
were assurances from Spain of reinforce
ments to be sent to the island. General
(i.unpos was recalled, and, on January 17,
he nailed tor‘Spain, bis place being tempo
rarily tilled by General Sabas Marin.
On February 10 Campos was succeeded
by General Valeriana Weyler y Nicalau.
immediately following his appointment
reports rtiached the -United -States that
Captain General Weyler was about to take
the field in person. In the meantime he,
too, tried his hand at fencebuilding. Cam
pos had built three trochas. Weyler built
a fourth one across the ‘island from Ma
jana to Muriel, about twenty-five miles
west of 'Havana.
WEYLER RIDCALLED.
The recall of General ‘Weyler and the
appointment of his successor, General
Blanco is still fresh in the public mind.
Gi neral Blanco has now at his disposal
lio.ooo regular soldiers and 00,000 volun
teers us home guards, besides a large naval
coast guard.
I he number of the partiot army cannot
be ascertained with any exact certainey.
They have variously been stated to be from
3-‘,OO to 05,000 men, distributed mostly in
Ine 1 lovince of .Vlatanzas, S.mtiago, -Santa
t I da. Havana ami Sancti-Spiritus.
lin lea.h rs who,have thus far shown the
highest capacity are Mta.ximo Gomez and
\ntouio Maceo. The death, however, of the
latter over a year ago, was a sore blow' to
the cause of the patriots. General Gomez
is now 75 yearns years of age, he is a mabive
of Santo Domingo and took an active part
iu tlie revolutionary attempt in 1808. The
dead Maceo was a half breed, both his
parents being mulattos.
POLICY OF REOONCEJXTRATIOtf.
'ln conducting the present war the ob
ject of Spain is to suppress the present re
volt by any means available. General Wey
ler s terrible order of reconcentratiou was
the beginning of the war of extermination.
The wives and female relatives of the pa
triots were driven from their homes and
huddled together in fortified cities where
they were subjected to all imagionabie
cruelties, and many of whom (now figured
at 450.000) perished from privation.
At the present time the Cyban govern
ment is working with just the same rou
tine as any well-recognized government.
Major General Bartolome Maso, the presi
dent of the Cuban republic, is a very con
scientious, enegetic and intelligent man,
and, above all things, a great patriot, and
one who has the reputation of being one
of the most honest men on the island. .He
was born .in Manzanillo in 1868. On the
24th of February, 1885, he left Manzanillo
and has been in the Held ever since. He
was elected vice president of the Cuban re
public on September 13, 1595, and elected
president October 28, 1897.
The vice president, Mendez Capote, is
also an exceedingly bright and clever man,
and is a great diplomat. 'He has the rank
of Brigadier General, and was born in
Cardenas, in the Province of Matanzas.
MEMBERS OF THE CABAN-ET.
The members of the cabinet are also very
competent and intelligent men, belonging
to some of the very best families in Cuba.
The secretary of war, Brigadier Jose B.
Aleman, is a native of Santa Clara, and is
34 years old. He is not only a planter,
but the editor and owner of La Defeusa, a
liberal newspaper published in Santa
C-l-rra. and has servedyas ald.erman of the
tAanta Clara municipal council.
The secretary of foreign affairs. Colo
nel Andres Moreno de la Torre, was born
fn Cardenas, in the province of Matanzas.
He is 38 years old and holds the degree of
ILL.D. He is the owner of a sugar plan
tation and is a well known lawyer of Ha
vana and Cardenas.
The secretary of the interior, -Lieuten
ant Colonel Manuel Ramon Silva, was
born in Puerto Principe. He is 30 years
old and holds the degree of doctor of med
icine, and is a well known physician in
Puerto Principe.
WORKSHOPS AND SCHOOLS.
The patriots are now well supplied with
workshops where arms are repaired and
where shoes, saddles and other supplies are
manufactured for the army. There are
good schools in Cuba and a very good pos
tal service, using the well known Cuban
stamps.
The pacificos who are in the fields supply
the food for the army, and are under mili
tary supervision. Their huts are often
used as hospitals.
Cubans consider the offer of autonomy a
sham, a mere device on the part of Spain
to lure the patriots in laying down their
arms. They now have fought for nearly
three years, and they will contineu to fight
no matter how long, to gain the end that
Marti and Macro Indicated to them, and
they will ont lay down their arms until
the flag of freedom shall from Cape Maisi
to Cape San Antonio.

PAVING FIGHT
Will Open at the City Council Meeting To
night.
The fight over the paving question will
be opened up in council tonight and will
be the principal matter to come before the
aldermen.
It is altogether improbable, however,
that anything will be done that will indi
cate what course council intends to pur
sue.
The representatives of the Southern As
phalt Company are in the city and have
been making an active canvass of the
property owners, with a view to getting
them to ask that asphalt be used as the
material on most of the streets that still
remain to be paved.
A large number of these property own
ers have signed the petition, and some of
the aidermen have stated that they will"
vote for the material that property own
ers want. The asphalt men are of the
opinion that they are in a good position
for the light.
On the other hand the brick men say
that they will get a vote for some of their
material on some of the streets, and it is
not at all -improbable that they are right
in holding to this belief.
BEWARE OF OINTMENTS FOR CA-

As mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the Whole

be used except on prescriptions from rep

do is ten fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Hall’s Catarrh Cure,

OLD JIM.
Amusing Stzwies Told About a PamotM
Fire Hoitm' of Boston.
Stories of tbe Intelligence uisiilayed by
horses in fire departments have been told
over and over again, but there Is a horse
in the Boston fire department that seems
to be worthy of a little attention at this
time, as ho has about completed the days
when be ean be Us- d with safety and prob
ably will soon go where he will have noth
ing to do but kick up his heels and enjoy
himself. Thia horse is known to the mem
bers of the deportment and, indeed, to
many of the citizens of Boston as Old
Jim, and is tiow at tbe Dartmouth street
engine house, where he is an "emer
| gcncy" horse. This means that he is used
: when one of the regular animals is sick or
■ away Ix’ing shod or when the condition of
the streets demands an extra horse.
The men tell several amusing stories
about him and the way he acts when an
alnrm is Rounded in the engine house. As
soon as the "tapper” sounds and the stall
doors fly opeij Old .Tim makes a rush for
the floor. As soon as he leaves his stall
and gets out on the main floor be hesitates
a moment and then rushes to the vacant
place as though he understood that he was
as likely to have to fill one position as an
other. Another little trick he has is that
of helping himself at the grain chest when
he thinks no one is around to see him. He
will turn nearly around in bis stall and
with his lips will shake the book of the
rcipo back of him from the ring in which
it is fastened. Then he will back out of
the stall and, going over to the grain
closet, will push buck the wooden button
with his lips, pull the door open and then,
raising the lid of the grain chest, will help
himself. If he hears the step of one of the
men, he will rush back to his stall and
crouch up in ono corner as if ho knew
well enough he had been doing something
wrong.
One of the most surprising stories told
about him relates to bls actions ata fire in
the leather district several years ago. The
story is vouched for by Captain Mulligan
of engine No. 22 and several of his mon,
and, while it may seem hard to believe,
those who know the horse say that it is
thoroughly characteristic of him. Previous
to this fire Old Jim had been quartered at
the Fort Hill square engine bouse, but bad
been transferred to the Dartmouth street
house to take the place of another horse.
The lire was one that required the services
of the Dartmouth street company, and Old
Jim went to it as leader on the three horse
(team of the engine. When the scene of
the lire was reached and the men settled
to work, the horses were detached from
the engine, and Old Jim was tied to a
lamppost, his two mates being connected
with him by the harness. When the fire
had been subdued and the mon were ready
to go back to their house, the driver went
over to get his horses, hut no horses were
visible. No one had seen them go, and
immediately everybody began a searyh for
the missing team. And whore does the
reader suppose those horses were found?
Old Jim, remembering his former home in
Fort Hill square and pcrhtrps wishing to
introduce his companions to his old mates,
had in some way unfastened his tie rein
and had towed his two mates to the house
in Fort Hill square, where ho was found
looking round contentedly and apparently
enjoying himself immensely.
Ono of his former drivers said recently
that when Old Jim was at Fort Hill square
ho had many a time gone to a fire with the
bits hanging from his mouth, but he seem
ed to know just where he was going and
only needed the slightest pressure to make
him turn in any direction required. So
well did he seem to know just where he
wanted to go that the men almost be
lieved ho could count the alarms. In fact,
a boy did call at the Fort Hill square
house one day and asked to see the horse
that could count the box when an alarm
was sounded. Boston Transcript.
The “Arbiter of Europe’s Destiny.”
The German emperor wishes to pose as
the arbiter of Europe’s destiny. He thinks
ho can array Europe against England moro
effectually than Napoleon ever did. Witli
a man holding such views, illumined by
the wisdom of God’s anointed,"as he con
ceives, there could bo no durable under
standing—to think of a Hohenzollern with
a royal pedigree of less than two centuries
advancing such pretensions would have
shocked the least modest of the present
emperor’s ancestors—and, such being the
ease, it is safer to base all our calculations
on his hostility. In this matter the Prince
of Wales has faithfully reflected English
sentiment. He is entitled to the credit of
having seen through the German ruler’s
sentiments iron, a very early period of his
reign and to have firmly refused to bo any
party to the condonation of the Emperor
William’s offenses not merely against
good breeding, but against the dignity
and majesty of his own country.
When the Prince of Wales is pursued
even to his private box in a theater so
that he may have to listen to the imperial
explanation that braggadocio at Kiel does
not signify a Belshazzar’s warning for
England, it is high time for the German
ruler to take a lesson in manners as well
as in the arcana of far eastern politics.—
