SAVING THE COLON. > Large Force of Hands Now at Work On Her. Santiago de Cuba, Oct 7 —Lieut. Hobson has brought to Santiago a number of 6 inch guns and ordnance of smaller calibre, which were taken from the Almirante Oquendo, Vizcaya and Infanta Maria Teresa. He started seventy men at the work of saving the Cristobal Colon yesterday. The men will have to build shacks on the shore to live io Lieut. Hob son said that be was still confident of bis ability to save the Colon. The Infanta Maria Teresa will be ready to sail for the United Stales from Guantanamo co next Monday. Lieut. Hobson says that he will save all the big guns from the Spanish ships as soon as a derrick boat arrives. Air bags and the compressed air ap paratus for the work on the Colon are here. The sickness among the Fifth regu lars has greatly diminished Fifty three men were taken off the sick list Tuesday and twenty-five Wednesday. Only 157 of the 650 men are unable to do dqly now, Yellow fever is rapidly disappearing. Favorable reports were received today from the Ninth Immunes, the Twenty fifth Kansas, and the Eighth Illinois volunteers, who are encamped on the San Luis plateau. The lighter Los Angeles sailed for Manzanillo Tuesday with a battalion of the Third’lmmunes, Col. Ray com manding. Gen. Wood, who was to have gone to Manzanillo to reorganize the civil government there, remained behind, the situatiou here requiring his attention. Col. Ray has been di rected by Gen. Lawton to suppress the lawlessness of the Cuban and Spanish guerrillas about Manzanillo with a firm hand. Col. Petit’s Fourth Im munes will be sent to relieve Col Ray’s man as soon as they arrive. Maximilian’s Fish Order. The Emperor Maxmilian was an abstremious man as regarded the pleasures of the table, a laudable hab it, which was encouraged by all about him, who loved to feast royally at bis expense, while he dined alone upon some simple dish, says Household Words. But the Emporer had a taste for fish, and especially sturgeon ; and <>ne day he relished so much a dish of this last that, like Oliver, and to the equal surprise of the assistint, he asked for more. “Extremely sorry,” said the maitro d’hote), “but there is no more sturgeon ” The Emperor perhaps swore softly to himself, perhaps he merely whistled or hummed. Anyhow, after a pauses he sent for the steward of the palace, who enquired, with some surprise, what his majesty pleased to want. “I want to know,” said the Emperor, “how much sturgeon you bought for my dinner today!” “One thousand pounds, your majesty,” replied the steward. “The next time you buy a thousand pounds and a half,” said the Emperor, “so that I may have a second help." Beats the Klondike. Mr. A.C. Thomas, of Marysville, Tex , has found a more valuable dis covery thin has yet been made in the Klondike. For years he suffered un told agony from consumption, accom panied by hemorrhages; and was ab solutely cured by Dr. King’s New Dis* covery for Cbnsumption, Coughs and Colds. He declares that gold is of little value in comparison with this mavelous cure ; would have it, even if it cost a hundred dollars a bottle. Asthma, Bronohitis and all throat and lung affections are positively caret’ by Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption. Trial bottles free at J. N.

Pass, Bowman, Ga., writes: “One of my children was very delicate and we despaired of raising it. For months my wife and I could hardly get a night’s rest until we began the use of Pitts’ Car minative.

BUCK FEVER Illustrations of What a Man May Do When He Shoots at His First Deer. They were unmistakably bound for the North Woods for an outing, and, judging From their talk, had nut seen much of each other since their hunt ing trip io ’97. * “Thia buck ague is a carious thing,” remarked one of the parly. “I can’t say I ever suffered much myself from it, but one of our parly two years ago had a touch of it that I guess he’ll never get over. We were slopping at 'Mike’s Cabin’ that year, and our guide bad taken the dogs out to start back to Beaver Meadows, so as to drive the deer down to the lake where we were posted on the different run ways. “Il so happened that George Twitchell was given the stand where ‘New Lake outlet’ comes down the mountain and spreadeout ever a lit tie sand flow. George had never seen a wild deer. In fact had never been in the country, and was only then away from his desk by doctor’s orders. But he fancied that he qould hit a deer easy enough with at least one of all those bullets in his repeater, and we all hoped be would. Well, after a while the baying of the bounds ech oed nearer and nearer, and every one of us felt bis pulse quicken cod Ijtla nerves tighten as we watched' the woods and prayed in in most hearts that tbe deer would chose our runway. Presently all doubt as to bis location was dispelled by sounds of splashing and some terrible language in a very excited voice wbicb I recog nized as belonging to George. It was evident that something had happened, and hastening over to his stand, I found that something had happened. There stcod George, rifle io band, excitedly swearing at everything and loudly declaring that those must have bien blank cartridges, not to have killed a buck at that short distance. Examination, however, showed that be had pumped the entire magazine empty without once pulling the trig ger. There on the ground lay the ten cartridges, not one of which bad- been fired!* This reminded tbe other man of tbe lime “Ned Barker narrowly escaped drowning.” Said be: “In ’94 a party of us were camping on Sand Lake and Ned caught sight of a big buck swim ming across tbe upper end of the lake. Hastily grabbing his gun, he jumped into a boat and pulled for all be was worth in that direction. Whan near tbe middle of tbe lake tbe deer chang ed bis course, probably because of some bounds we then heard for the first time since seeing the deer. This gave Ned his chance, and, giving his oars a mighty pull, he stood up, gun in hand, just as tbe deer swam past the bow of the b)»t, and such a fusil lade of shots as he let fly would do credit to a gatling gun, but tbe deer kept straight on and disappeared in the forest. Then our interest centered in Ned, for he had lost an oar and seemed to be sinking. When we got out there with the other boat we found that that fellow in his excitement had fired five of those bullets through tbe bottom of bis boat.”—New York Sun.

In the Philippine Islands, under Spanish rule, all males over 21 years of age must pay a poll tax that equals about £4 of our money, and tbe woman must pay £3, says London Tit-Bits. A man must pay a license to sell co coanuta from hie own trees or indigo of his own raising. Every article ol furniture that costs half a sovereign is laud. The curtain never goes up at the theater unless £2 is qaaid to the government, and every aet of slaugh tering his own animals, dipping bis own-sheep or felling bis own trees, the Philippine farmer must pay a fee to the government. There is exacted government tribute for getting mar ried, and for getting buried, and at every step and turn of hie life tbe tax collector holds out bis hand to him and it is not k demand that can be refused. No wonder Spain wishes to keep a possession that yields such a return ; no wonder also that tbe last sixty years have developed seventeen rebellions in the Philippines. MW TBE EXCELLENCE OF SniFWMS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured' by scientific processes known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthlesa imitations manufactured by other par ties. The high standing of the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi cal profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty of the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as it acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weaken ing them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate.
