My base of operations was being constantly changed, and my hands were always exposed to the worst malarial influences. 1 employed one hundred hands, and the work was conducted as much in water as out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem ber there was great loss of time and business, on account of sickness among the workers. My attention was then called to Johnson’s Chill dud Fever Tonic, and I determined to give the medicine a trial. I procured it, and those who were sick were put on this treatment, and those who were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic. [u a short time every one of the one hundred hands 'l was well and reported for duty; and from that time I on I used nothing else but Johnson’s Tonic, and never had another ease of fever.

ATLANTA FIREMEN AGAIN FIGHT FLAMES Fire Breaks Out In Star The ater Building. ENTIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDS.

That word hacking is expressive to those, who have experienced the aggra vating constant cough, which is called a hacking cough. Sometimes it is the result of’a cold, or of grip, and some times it is a consequence of catarrh, physicist:* in the State of North Carolina, who Said the trouble had reached my lungs,” writes Mr. J M.

If you ask your dealer for "Golden Medical Discovery” because you have confidence in its cures, do not allow yourself to be switched off to a medicine claimed to be "just as good,” but which you did not ask for and of which you know nothing.

Probably Unparalleled In Its Magnifi cence—Lord and Lady Curzon Rode on Largest Elephant in India—Gor geous Trappings of Gold and Silver.. Delhi, India, Dec. 19.—The viceroy, Lord Curzon, of Keddleston, made his state entry today into the eapitol of the Moguls. This is constituted the official opening of the durbar held to celebrate the accession of King Ed ward as emperor of India. It was a splendid pageant, proba bly unparalleled in its magnificence. At the head of the elephant proces sion rode Lord and Lady Curzon on the state “grand tusker,” 12 feet high, the largest elephant in India. Their howdah was decked with gold and sil ver and the elephant itself was almost hidden beneath a gold worked saddle cloth. Surrounding them wore foot men in scarlet and gold liveries and bearing massive silver staves. The Duke of Connaught followed. Another elephant was equally gorgeously ca parisoned. Then in order of prece dence came the iuizam of Hydrobad, the mahajarah of Travaneore and other ruling chiefs, 70 in all, their huge elephants forming a line a quarter ot a mile in lengtti. Tlie. glittering procession started from the railroad l station, preceded try dragoon guards and the vicerop’s es cort, by heralds and trumpeters. The road was entirely lined by British and native troops. From the salut ing battery, posted at the fort com manding the Lahore gate, guns thun dered out a royal salute a-- the vice roy passed with the heralds and trum peters sounding at intervals spirited fan-faros. The cortege passed in front of a line of 10 elephants carry ing the brilliantly dressed retainers of the ruling chiefs. The colossal beasts saluted by throwing their trunks in the air, presenting a truly imposing sight, and afterward fell in line behind the o cial pocession. Huge crowds of onlookers witnessed the spectacle which, It 1s asserted, has never been surpassed in magnificence even in this country of oriental splendors. The heralds, pursuavants and trumpeters who followed the escort and immedi ately preceded the vice regal proces sion were conspicuous by the splendor of their attire. They were followed by the newly constituted imperial cadet corps comprising 30 maharajahs. The excitement was at fever heat when the first elephants with gold and sil ver howdahs o«f the staff officers came in view and commenced to circle around l the mosque. The finest ele phants in Asia ii-assed in front of the great Jumma Musjid, the steps of which were thronged with distinguish ed personages including viceroys American and British guests and the delegates from the colonies and from other parts of the empire. The enor mous beasts' shuffled slowly by. The bodies of the great animals were al most hidden by their trapping of crim son, purple and gold l . Bands of gold encircled their trunks, golden brace lets were on their ankles, gold and silver bells were hanging from their neck chains and their heads were painted and decorated in every con ceivable color. The Mahouts were clad in the brightest attire, as were the at tendant spearmen who marched by the elephants’ ides. In the rear of the procession rode General Lord Kitchen er, the commander-in-chief in India, surrounded by a brilliant staff and fol lowed bv the heads of provinces with escorts of Indian cavalry and tribal leaders from beyond the border line. Down the main streets moved the cortege through the lints of saluting soldiers, salaaming throngs of natives, through the ancient city with the ba). conies and housetops teeming with life and .through the Moorgate into the open park beyond. There, after a4- mile march, the elephants of the vice roy and the Duke of Connaugh halted side by side, and the pageant was con cluded with the great princes filing by with their elephants trumpeting a salute. The viceroy was in state uniform, Lady Curzon was dressed in gray, the Duke of Connaught had on a field mar shal's uniform and the Duchess ol Connaught was attired in blue. They received a flattering welcome at all points. The viceroy and- the Duke of Connaught subsequently drove to the main camp. The roads after the pass age of the procession were a scene of chaos, as camels, mule carts and lan daus, bicycles and bullock carts pass ed onward In strange confusion. There were many break downs and many hours elapsed before the peo ple were able to return to their camps Disappears with securities. B -rlin, Dee. 29.—Albert Heyde, a submanager of the Potsdam branch of the National bank Fur Deutschland, has disappeared. Examination shows that $23,750 In securities are missing. which unchecked has gradually in volved the lungs in disease. Such a cough finds its cure in Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery which cures bronchitis, obstinate coughs, lung disease, hem orrhage, and con ditions which, i if neglected or un skilfully treated, lead to consumption. ” For twelve years I was a sufferer from catarrh and was treat ed by one of the best HUMBERTS IN PRISON. Arrested in Madrid They Arc Con veyed to Paris. Paris, Dec. 29.—The members of the Humbert family, recently arrested in Madrid in connection with the great safe frauds in this city, arrived at Or- ; l lean* railroad station here at 7:40 a. m. There was no demonstration. The prisoners were conducted to prison. The arrival of the fugitives was devoid | of sensational iheidents as the French police had chosen an hour for their | return here when Paris was only half awake. The crowd at the railroad station w as comparatively small, but a large fore e of police and soldiers mounted and afoot were drawn up. Mme. Humbert was dressed in black and was veiled, but she was speedily 1 recognized by the people. The young 1 daughter, Idva, was the most pathetic looking of the women. Mine. Humbert was followed 1 by her sister Marie, who did not show r the bravado she exhib ited at Madrid, but was pale and ap peared disconsolate. Frederick. Mad ame Humbert’s husband, looked com pletely broken down. D’Aurignac and his wife maintained the calm, de fiant attitude they had through out. M. d’Aurignac still wore a Span ish beard which had served him as a disguise. The party entered the car riages in waiting. Police surrounded the vehicles, which were driven at a rattling pace to the Contierrie, where a minute preparation had been made to receive the fugitives. All classes of society is equally interested in this case, as the Hum berts were known everywhere. Crowds from all parts of the city w'ere ready to assemble at the station and give the prisoners a disorderly re. ception, but the secretary of police baffled the plans of the mobs and per mitted the Humberts to be landed si lently and swiftly inside the gray walls of the prison. The public had doubted the sincerity of the govern ment in ever bringing back the fugi tives owing to the political scandals sure to follow', but the arrival of the ! prisoners Is now generally accepted as showing the purpose of the author- j itles to spare no efforts, to push tire ; prosecution and punishment of the ac-! cused. The plane at, present are not, announced. Owing to the belief of the authorities that Eva Humbert was ! an innocent victim of her mother’s observations, they proposed to intrust her to the custody of her grandmother, Mine. Gustave Humbert, widow of the former minister of justice in the De- Freycinet cabinet, but Mile. Eva pos itively declined the proposal, declar ing her purpose to remain with her mother In prison. The attitude of the girl excites universal sympathy. FIRE AT WETUMPKA, ALA. Entire Block Wiped Out—Loss Esti mated at $60,000.

He Has Been Charged to Take Case In Hand Himself and Arrange De tails of Protocol To Be Submitted to The Hague Arbitration. Washington, Dec. 29.—The Venezu elan negotiations now wait on Presi dent Castro. Minister Bowen has been fully advised by tho state de partment of tlie result of its exchanges with the foreign offices at London, Berlin and ome., and ho has been charged to take the case* in hand him self and arrange the details of the protocol, which will precede the sub mission of the foreign claims to the arbitration of The Hague tribunal. In so doing Mr. Bowen is acting, not as United States minister, but as Ven ezuela’s representative. The officials here wish it to be distinctly under stood that their functions ceased, so far as the Venezuelan difficulty was concerned, when they brought the par ties to the controversy together. By tlie latest Venezuelan advices it Is noted that President Castro Is ex pected at Caracas today, and It is felt that, he will not consume much time In making up his mind to accept tho proposals held out to him through Minister Bowen by the allied powers. It now seems probable that Minister Bowen will come to Washington, as Venezuela’s representative on the commission, which will draw up the protocol providing for the submission of the claims of the powers to The Hague tribunal. It has hi;on decid ed that be may so represent Venezue- • 1 la notwithstanding the fact that he has been charged with the interests of je.r :( Britain, Germany, Italy and j other Euro|iean powers In Venezuela. As soon as he leaves Venezuela this 'charge will pass to Mr. Bussell, the secretary and charge of the American 'legation, whose reputation at the state department is that of a thoroughly competent and able official. The se lection of Mr. Bowen will -cause a postponement of the assembling of the proposed commission until he can ar rive here from Caracas. No Truth In Report. Caracas, Venezuela, Dec. 29. —-There is no truth in the report circulated in the United tSates that British marines have been landed at LaGuayra.
