One Guard is Dead, Two Cavalrymen
Will Die, and Othere Serione
ly Injured.
Huhtsvillk, Oct. 11.—The Tenth

three others seriously injured, one of

provost guard. .
Fatally woupded: Two troopers of
the 10th calvary, names unknown
Seriously wounded : Private Miles,
Co M, 16th infantry; Private Larkin,

Gen. Wheeler’s cavalry division,
destined for Cuban service, was filled
this morning by tbe arrival of the 10th
cavalry under Colonel Baldwin. Tbe

this morning and took command of
tbe 4th army corps, succeeding Gener

Shortly after the Tenth cavalry ar

was arrested by the provost guard for
disorderly conduct and an attempt
was made by a small equad from tbe
cavalry to rescue the prisoner. Tbe
provost guard opened fire on this
squad and one entire section of tbe
cavalry that bad not at tbe time been
involved answered the fire in a volley
from tbe train. This ws» the signal
for a general fight and for several

storing order and then arrests were
• made, several scores of men being im
mediately imprisoned at Camp Wheel

stantly killed, was a native of Picker
ing, N. Y.

“One iff 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. We found great relief from the
first bottle.” Pitts’ Carminative acts

without coaxing. It is free from injurious

Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the pub
lic to know of one concern in tbe land
who are not afraid to be generous to
the needy and suffering. Tbe propria

Consumption, Coughs and Colds, have
given away over ten million trial bot
tles of this great medicine; and have
the satisfaction of knowing it has ab
solutely cured thousands of hopeless
cases. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness
and all diseasss of the Throat, Chest
and Lungs are surely cured by it. Call

Leather on Leather.
A new style of embroidery which
commends itself to those in search of
substantial needlework is done with
leather on leather. Chair cushions,
hammock cushions, borders for heavy
table covers and portierres are among
tbe many articles for which it is used.
Tbe ground work is as a rule of some
dark, rich colored skin, and tbe work
is done with lighter shades.
A border for a handsome pair of por
tierres is of maroon leather, on which
is worked an upright row of finer delis
in yellow leathers, with stems and
leaves of green. The effect is very
handsome and unusual. A chair cush
ion which was made to correspond
with a library furnished a quartered
oak and Malachite, is of green leather,
with tbe head of a huge tawoy lion
worked in. The work is not difficult
if one can believe those who have wade
a study of it, and most of all requires
practice.
Tbe pattern is first sketched on thp
leather foundation, then gone over
with a keeu bladed instrument made
for the purpose, and outlined by tiny
slits and boles. It is into these incis
ions that the working leather, which
is cut into strips of various widths, is
drawn, thus forming the design. This
working leather can be bad in almost
as many shades as embroidery silk
and is remarkably pliable. The needle
used are coarse bodkins with blunted
points and long, narrow eyes? Many
smaller articles intended as Christmas
presents for men are being made, and
tbe work seems particularly adapted
to such use. . - '

COUNTING SILVER COIN.
How the Work Is Being Dona at the
Philadslnhia Mint _
The nimble fingers of twenty pairs
of feminine hands were set to work
yeslerdsy at tbe subtreasury counting
ten millions of silver dollars, which
bsve been stored in tbe custom bouse,
vaults. The task is not an easy one
by any means, and twenty five days, it
is expected, will be consumed in its
completion,
Jerome Wise of the treasury depart
ment at Washington has come up to
superintend it all. He ie assisted by
Miss Julia Booth of this city. The
twenty women who are doiog the
work are all expert handlers of coin
and have been employed in the mint
here. Tbe count is made to verify
the accounts of ex-Assistant Treasurer
Bigler.
Id a room on the second floor, a
long table, divided into twenty com
partments, is placed behind a stout
iron screen, high enough to keep out
intruders sod possibly covetous flag
on. At this table sit the twenty
counters and into each compartment
is dumped 1,000 shining new dollars,
tbe contents of a stout canvas bag, in
which they have been signed, sealed,
and stored away. Quickly and deftly
the operator takes up a handful of tbs
coins, and almost before you can say
"Jack Robinson" she baa stacked them
up iu little piles of ten each in a box
which holds exactly 100 such piles.
Then a man comes along with an
other canvas bag, the counterpart of
the first one, and 100 little ten dollar
piles are dumped into it. It ie then
tied, sealed and the name of tbe coun
ter, written by herself on a tag. is at
tached to it. Theo it is carted away
to give place to a successor, and to go
again to'the subterranean vaults from
which it came.
Tbe process pursued ie a little differ
ent from that followed in other yearn
for then tbe money was merely weigh
ed in the bags, and if one of them
showed "weakness’’ it was opened and
the contents counted. This time in
dubitable proofs are to be had by tbe
handling of every piece of coin.
The bank notes, which are always
disposed of by actual count, have al
ready been verified, and has nearly all
tbe fractional coins, halves, quarters,
dimes, nickles and pennies, to tbe
amount of $5,000,000 or more, and
gold to the amount of over a million,

Lizzies’ Advice to College Boys-
"Gallantry is all very well,” said tbe
golden haired Christian Endeavor
girl, “but sometimes gallantry can te'
overdone."
‘ When can gallantry be overdone?”
I asked,
"Why, John was too gallant last
night when he came down from the
college t J make his regular eall. You
see, we were sitting on the sofa read
ing poetry, when I remarked.
"Bead this, George. Longfellow
says ’kisses are sweeter in the dark*—’>
"And of course George turned down
tbe gas?"
"Tbe idiot did nothing of tbe kind.
He juet sat there tike a stick and raid
in hie dignified college language i
"But, Lizzie, when a girl is as band
some as you, I think darkness would
detract from tbe pleasantness of tbe
occasion."
"Os course," said Lizzie thought
fully, “George intended it m a nice
Christian compliment, but there is a
time to talk and a time to act!”—Eli

The Railroad Army-
The-etandlng army of Russia is usu
ally put at 800,000 men, of Germany
at 6O4UMX), of Austria at 275,000, and
of Grtiat Britain al 225,000, all on a
peaco footing. Yet there are, it ap
pears by the last published report of
the latMetate Commerce Commission,
830.000 railroad employees in the
United States, whose gross wages and
salaries are nearly $500,000,000 a year,
or 62 par cent, of tbe operating ex
penses of tbe American railways.
There afe four employes on tbe aven
age for each mile of railroad track.
Therq 30,039 station agents, 35,-
667 engineers, 25,322 conductors, 43,-
768 switehmen, flagmen and watch
men, and 21,452 telegraph operators
and dispatchers. At the present ratio
of Increase—there are now 60,000
more railway employees in the United
States than there were in 1895—tbe
total number will not be very far be
low 1,000,000 at the limo of tbe next
census.
Here is an army io which there is
no mustering out and no war looting,
fdr tbe railroad army of tbe United
States is larger than the number of
railroad employees of any other coun
try, ie essentially an army of peace,
and it is steadily growing at a rate
larger .than tbe railroads themselves,
mileage as a measure of
their importance.—New York Sun.
TBE EXCELLENCE OF STIIJF OF IMS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is

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 Cauforioa Fig Strut Co.

assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cau

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 ia
