Other things cure Fever besides Johnson’s Chill and

T en nothing else will. It is 100 times better than
uinine. It has received the unqualified endorsement of the
Lrv best men in this country.
^The fame of Johnson’s Tonic and the widespread popu

m'iness to Imitate as closely as they dared the name and
ippearance of this wonderful medicine.
Counterfeiters of money are more honorable than those

UNDER BAN OF THE CHURCH
Mixed Marriages and Cremation lil‘
Dominion of Canada. j
Montreal, April 10.—A pastoral Jit
ter from Archbishop Bruch has been
read in all the Roman Catholic churches
of this diocese, and interesting refer*
encea were made in it to the recent de
cision in the Delpit case and to $he
action of the legislature in granting {to
the Mount Royal cemetery the power*to
cremate bodies in place of burying than,
if so desired. As to the former, the
archbishop merely restates the attitude
of the church on mixed or irregular
marriages, which cannot bo affected by
the judgment of civil tribunals, and
warns all communicants not to offend,
at the risk of severe ecclesiastical penal
ties.
With respect to cremation, the arch
bishop’s declaration is of greatest inter
est, since he virtually censures the legis
lature for granting the request of the
Mount Royal Cemetery company, which
is a Protestant organization. The arch
bishop cited the rulings of the church
on the subject, quoting Pope Leo XIlI’s
condemnation ot the practice in his let
ter to the bishops in May, 1888, and Car*,
dinai Richards’ vigorous denunciation
in a pastoral letter of February, 1890.

Crime Involved In -Mystery.
New York, April 10.—The robbery at
sea of the specie room of the North
German Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilhelm

Apparently there has been oompleto
failure tQdocato either the missing bul

the search of passengers and ship at
Bremen-Hnvsu this morning may furn
ish material for the investigations.
Three bars of gold, aggregating In value
(22,750, shipped by the National City
bauk of Now York, were stolen from
cask No. 4 of the room somowhere be
tween this port aud Cherbourg. The

Richmond, April 10.—Immediate and
perhaps radical changes are expected to
ensue when John M. Barr takes charge
of the Seaboard Air Line os vice presi*
deut aud general manager. His appoint-
tjieut is recognized by railroad*men JM
ouo of the most significant and im
portant madn in a long time on any
southern road.
The development of tho policy he will
pursue is awaited with some interest.
It is believed that the largo holders of
the Seaboard securities have not been
satisfied with the mauagemeut of the
road in the past nor its earnings. Presi
dent Williami has said that tho ratio of
operating expenses was too great and
must be reduced.
It is believed that under Mr. Barr s
management the property will oo
strengthened and improved,-and that
valuable traffic connexions may be
formed. Mr. Barr’s appointment is be
lieved to mean great things for the fu
ture of the road.
