The Truth About Col Tee.
It must be regarded as a convincing
test when a family of 7 has used Pos
tum for 5 years, regaining health and
keeping healthy and strong on this
food drink.
This family lives in Millville, Mass.,
and the lady of the household says:
“For eight years my stomach troubled
me all the time. I was very nervous and
irritable and no medicine helped me.
“I had about given up hope until 5
years ago next month I read an article
about Postum Cereal Coffee that con
vinced me that coffee was the cause of
all my troubles. I made the Postum
carefully and liked It so much I drank
it In preference to coffee, but without
much faith that it would help me.
“At the end of the month however I
was surprised to find such a
change in my condition. I was
stronger in every. way, less
nervous and at the end of six months
I had recovered my strength so com
pletely that I was able to do all of my
own housework. Because of the good
Postum did us I knew that what you
claimed for Grape-Nuts must be true
and we have all used that delicious
food ever since It first appeared on the
market.
“We have 7 in our family and I do
the work for them all and I am sure
that I owe my strength and health to
the steady use of your fine cereal food
and Postum (in place of coffee.) I have
such great faith in Postum that I have
sent It to my relatives and I never lose
a chance to speak well of it.” Name

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. 5,1903. JULY
AROUND THE WORLD
IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES
With Lightning's Rapidity Cable Messages
Girdle the Earth.
New York, July 4.—The Pacific cable
was successfully completed at 10:50
o'clock to-night, eastern time, by the
welding together of the Eastern and
Western links at Honolulu, on board
the cable ship Anglia, thus completing
the entire, line of telegraph from San
Francisco to the Philippine Islands, a
distance of over 8,000 miles, and bring
ing to a conclusion the greatest and
most difficult of submarine cable en
terprises undertaken in the history of
ocean telegraphy.
A message from President Roosevelt
to President Mackay of the Commer
cial Pacafic Cable Company was sent
over the new cable around the world
in twelve minutes and Mr. Mackay's
reply* was sent around the world in
nine and a half minutes. The best
previous time for a message around
the world was made on one sent by
United States Senator Chauncey M.
Depew from the National Electric Ex
position, Grand Central Palace, in
this city, in 1896. It took fifty min
utes to transmit the message.
New York, July 4.—The last connec
tion in the Pacific Cable Company's
cable was made at Honolulu to-night at
10;50 (Eastern time), and a cablegram
was flashed around the world in 9V&
minutes.
The first message over the cable was
sent at 10:50 p. m., by President Roose
velt at Oyster Bay to Gov. Taft at
Manila, as follows:
"To Gov. Taft, Manila. I open the
American Pacific cable with greetings
to you and the people of the Philip
pines. Theodore Roosevelt.”
At 11:19 p. m., the! following reply
was received by the President from
Gov. Taft:
"To President. The Flilipino peo
ple and the Americans resident in these
islands are glad to present their re
spectful greetings and congratulations
to the President of the United States,
conveyed over the cable with which
American enterprise has girded the
Pacific thereby rendering greatly
easier and more frequent communica
tion between the two countries.
"It will certainly lead to closer un
ion and a better mutual understanding
of each other's aims and sympathies
and of their common interest in the
prosperity of the Philippines and the
education and development of the Fili
pinos.
“It is not inappropriate to incorpor
ate in this, the first message across the
Pacific from the Philippines to Amer
ica, an earnest plea for the reduction
of the tariff on Filipino products in ac
cordance with the broad and liberal
spirit which the American people de
sire to manifest toward the Philippines
and of which you have been an earnest
exponent. Taft.”
President Roosevelt then sent the
following message around the world
westward to Clarence H. Mackay, who
was with Mr. Roosevelt at Oyster
Bay:
“Congratulations and success to the
Pacific cable, which the genius of your
lamented father and your own enter
prise made possible.”
The message was sent at 11:23 p. m..
and was received by Mr. Mackay at
11:35, making the time of its transmis
sion around the world twelve minutes.
Mr. Mackay replied a.s follows, his
message going around the world east
ward : (
“I thank you deeply for your mes
sage and I earnestly hope that the
Pacific cable, by opening the wide hor
izon of the great East, may prove a
useful factor to the commerce of the
United States."
President Roosevelt received the
message at 12:04(4- The time con
sumed in passing around the world
was 9 I A minutes.
The following additional messages
were sent:
“Atlanta, Ga., July 4, 1903.—T0 Judge
J. H. Blount, Manila, P. I. Through
courtesy Commercial Pacific Cable, I

achievement and extend congratula

THE FISHER MARTEN.
Clever Little Animal Which De
serves to lie Better Known.
According to Collier's Weekly, the
fisher marten deserves to be much bet
ter known than he generally is, if only
on account of his own good opinion of
himself, his wonderful cunning and
shrewd intelligence.
One of the largest and handsomest
of the martens, he has also ogility,
strength and endurance for any two
of his kind put together. Measuring
about three feet in length, with a slim,
vigorous body, the fisher will travel
enormous distances in a single night,
bounding lightly up into the air, with
his nose turned up in order to catch
every little whiff of scent, outwitting
other animals and the cleverest trap-
POrs, and making himself at home
wherever he happens to find himself.
He generally chooses as his hunting
grounds the thickly covered hills and
ridges where the hemlock and spruce
grow in abundance, but he is as much
at home on the tree tops as on the
ground, and can sleep as soundly in a
low hollow of a tree as on a branch
of a fir tree, where he will He stretch
ed out in the sunshine like any old
cat.
As for fear, he does not know what
It is. He will not only face but actu
ally kill a Canadian porcupine, and
does not even appear to mind the
quills which penetrate his body. He Is
not particularly fond of meeting an
old bear with cubs, but is generally
clever enough to steal her cubs when
she goes off on some little expedition
of her own. while instances have been
related of the fishers in the Rocky
Mountains even killing young grizzlies.
As for man, he appears to laugh at
him, and his designs for trapping wild
animals. He will pull a marten trap
open and take out the bait, whether
alive or dead: he will tear a pine mar
ten or mink to pieces in no time and
t arry it off. or drag the trap over some
rough, projection in order to spring it,
and make off more often than not
without having received so much as a
scratch. #
But perhaps his cleverest trip Is,
when he finds a trapper is following his
trail, to go behind the trapper and
follow his. so that while the uncon
scious trapper is walking after the fish
er the fisher Is keeping completely out
of danger by following the trapper.

The course of President Roosevelt's
message around the world was sent by
the Postal Telegraph Company’s line
from Oyster Bay to San Francisco,
thence by the Commercial Pacific ca
bles to Honolulu: to Midway, to Guam
and to Manila. From Manila to Hong
Kong the message passed by the ca
ble which was liftiid and cut by Admi
ral Dewey in Itjjß. From Hong Kong it
went to Saigon, Up, to Pe
nang, to Bombay, to Aden,
to Suez, to Alexandria, to Malta, to
Gibraltar, to LiskAs“and to the Azores.
Between Hong jSfccmg and the Azores
it passed by "foreign eabie. At the
Azores it was taken‘ttp, again by the
commercial cables and sent to Canso,
to New York, and to Oyster, Bay,'.
A message starting around the world
to-day at 5 p. m. would arrive' - at Hon
olulu at 11 p. m. yesterday, at Midway
at 10 p. m. yesterday, at Guam at 7 p.
m. to-day, and at Manila 6 p. m. to
day. It would pass through India at 3
p. m. to-day and would eturn to New
York before 6 a. m. Thus it would have
made an .excursion from tp-rday into
yesterday and have arrived back in
New York within an hour of the time
it started.
Another message leaving New York
at 5 p. m. to-day Would arrive at
Guam at 7 a. m. to-morrow, apparent
ly fourteen hours after it started.
Continuing its journey around the
world, it would arrive at Suez at mid
night of to-day, and back at New York
this evening. Two such transmissions
are shown on the attached schedule.
In their course they would pass
through historic cables and waters.
The cable which would carry them
from Manila to Hong Kong is the one
which was lifted and cut by Admiral
Dewey on April 25, 1898, to cut off the
Spaniards’ means of communication
with Spain. The cable which would
carry them from Aden to Suez rest
with Pharoah’s army in the waters of
the Red sea.
Many a useless mile has the trapper
walked in this manner,- and many good
baits has he lost by the very same
shrewd cunning animal he is trying to
trace and catch.
Japanese Doctors' Signs.
From the Lancet.
The June number of Man contains
an article on two Japanese boku-to,
or emblems of the medical profession.
These objects were wooden swords
worn by medical practitioners in Ja
pan before the revolution of the last
century which displaced so many of
the old customs of the country. A man
of rank was formerly entitled in Ja
pan, as elsewhere, to wear a sword:
indeed, in Japan he was entitled to
wear two swords. The retainers of a
Daimio or feudal lord also wore
swords. The medical mens’ swords
were generally of a somewhat fanci
ful description and were made in many
forms, some contained lancets, others
contained knives for cutting herbs,
but the rrfttjorlty were quite plain.
One of the objects now described and
figured is in the shape of a large bean
pod. Its bean-like curvature approxi
mates to that of a Japanese sword. It
is 17><2 inches in length and of a nearly
uniform circumference of 4% inches or
thereabouts. It is made of some fairly
hard wood which takes a polish, and it
is carved to indicate seven seeds in
side. Wrapped around it is a silken
cord, by which it was attached to the
girdle. Together with this corn it
weighs six and three-fiuarter ounces
avoirdupois. On the side there are rep
resented in lacquer a grasshopper and
another large insect. On the other side
are similarly represented a wasp, a
small fly somewhat like the common
house fly, and apparently a small bee
tle.
The other boku-to is more interesting.
It is a rough piece of willow, 18 inches
long and broader at the bottom than
the top. Japanese characters meaning
Spider-boat have been deeply cut up
on it. At a distance of 9 l * inches from
the top it is pierced with a hole an
inch and a half long, which has been
utilized to attach a flat cord or tape
and toggle for convenience of noldlng
it in the girdle. The cord is of a pale
red color, now a little faded. The baku
to, cord and toggle weigh together un
der four and a half ounces avoirdupois.
The two specimens now described were
bought at At*unl in Japan a few months
ago.^
A SANTIAGO HERO RECOMMENDS PE-RU-NA.

► Lucien Young.
LUCIEN YOUNG. Commander of
the U. S. Navy Gunboat “Hist”
during the battle of Santiago, was
specially mentioned by Admiral Samp
son for his gallantry. He writes from
Washington, D. C.:
“The curative qualities of Peruna as a
cure for catarrh have been fully establish
ed by the use of the same most successfully
by many of my acquaintances, and I can
recommend anyone so afflicted to try It.”—
Lucien Young.
Commodore Somerville Nicholson of
the United States Navy, in a letter
from 1837 R. Street, Northwest, Wash
ington, D. C., says:
"Your Peruna hag been and is now
used by so many of my friends and ac
quaintances as a sure cure for catarrh
that I am convinced of its curable
qualities, and I unhesitatingly recom
mend it to all persons suffering from
that complaint.”—S. Nicholson.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna a strong endorsement.
iMen of all classes and stations are
equally represented.
Catarrhal Nervousness-
Mr. Charles Brown, Roger sville,
Tenn., writes:
“I feel it my duty to write you a few
words in praise of your Peruna. I have
tried many' different remedies, but have
found that Peruna is the greatest tonic
The above testimonials are only specimens of the many thousand letters received touching
the merits of Peruna as a catarrhal tonic. No more useful remedy to tone up the system has
ever been devised by the medical profession.

Description of the Camp.
The camp is situated on a high pla
teau on the sand hills. The soil is
sandy and porous, and should there
be heavy rains the soil will be dry
under foot in an hour.
The camp is in five minutes walk of
the electric car line, furnishing easy
access to the city in a fifteen minutes
ride. Just outside of the camp, on the
car line, is Monte Sano park, with its
vaudeville summer theater, offering
nightly amusement.
The camp is attractively laid out.
Col. Thomasson's Third Regiment will
be the first troops encountered on en
tering the camp. Then comes a broad
street with the commissary and quar
termaster's headquarters, and then the
First Regiment under command of
Col. Gordon.
Across the main street, which runs
through the entire camp at right an
gles to the company streets, are the
regimental and brigade headquarters,
and back of these the parade ground,
large, enough for any character of drill
or maneuver.
Kenan Getting It Ready.
Quartermaster Kenan has been at
camp all day. receiving equipage and
getting everything in readiness.
The entire camp is bare of trees or
foliage of any kind, but there is usual
ly a breeze across the plateau, in
spite of the July sun.
All of the officers commend the site,
and the outlook is for an attractive
and successful rtunp.

FINNY MONSTER
Sawed a Hole Through n Boat and
Battled With Fishermen.
Minneapolis (Minn.) Cor. Pittsburg
Gazette.
While Fosston does not boast of
possessing the largest or most beauti
ful lakes in the northern part of the
states, there are several pretty bodies
of water adjacent to the town and a
lot of the gamest fishermen to be
found in Minnesota. The truth of the
latter statement has been proved on
divers and sundry occasions, and a
recent experience only tends to clinch
the fact.
Some four or five years ago the lakes
hereabouts . had an abundance of the
finny tribe, mostly perch and a pick
erel, )>ut during the last few years
and until the summer it has been the
opinion that the waters had been fished
out. Many of the places which were
formerly favorite fishing grounds had
become entirely deserted until a few
weeks ago, when it was discovered
that they has been an influx of pike,
pickerel and perch, and fine strings
of these varieties have been caught.
One of the lakes which has not been
visited for several years is Cross Lake,
about five miles east of Fosston. A
patrty composed of A. Kaiser, vice
president of Fosston and late chair
man of the Republican County Com
mittee of Polk county: L. G. Han
cock of the firm of Larson, Carpenter
& Cos., and M. T. Bolton, owner of the
Plainview News-Gleaner, made a trip
to Cross Lake several days ago and
disfcovered that the lake was literally
swarming with pickerel and perch.
They took a boat with them and
caught a fine string. They also suc
ceeded in landing, after a hard strug
gle, a fish, the like of which had never
been seen in this part of the state.
With a stone for an anchor they were
in the middle of the lake, when Kaiser
noticed that the boat was very slowly
filling -with water at one end. He had
also observed that for half an hour a
fish, which could be clearly seen in the
water, sped madly away whenever the
boat approached. Something had been
scraping the bottom of the boat at the
rear end. Closer examination disclosed
something sticking through the bottom
of the boat and gently moving back
and forth, like a saw at work. The
something was hit with one of the
oars, when there was a commotion,
and it was seen that it was a fish,
which had become entangled in the
rope fastened to the stone anchor in
the boat. The rope had been dragging
behind, and the fish in writhing to
loosen itself had cut a hole in the boat
with its fin.
Bolton began to bail out the water
from the boat, while Kaiser and Han
cock got busy with the fish. They
prodded it with the oars, and it bit a
large piece out of one of them, but
refused to budge from the boat. Be
coming desperate, as the boat was
rapidly filling with water, Kaiser seiz
ed the stone anchor and giving it a
mighty swing, hurled it at the fish.
There was a splash, followed by a
stream of water and blood, and the
lake for a distance of 10 feet from the
boat was lashed into foam, drenching
the anglers. This lasted bttt a mo
ment, when there was a calm, and the
body of a peculiarly shaped fish ap
peared on the surface of the water. A
landing hook was brought Into play,
and the fish gaffed and hauled into the
boat. Bolton kept bailing out the wa
ter and the party rowed to shore to
hold an inspection on their catch.
The fish was laid on the sand, where
U wap found it had a dorsal fln four
feeling, and made me feel like anew
man, so I heartily recommend it to all
who are weak and run down. It will
give new life and energy. I cannot
speak too highly of Peruna, and will
not forget to recommend it on every
hand. I will answer any letter from
those desiring to know what Peruna
has done for me.” —Charles Brown.
E. J. Turner, ex-Member of Congress
from Kansas, office, Pacific building,
Washington, D. C„ writes:
"Your Peruna is a great medical
composition and should command the
gratitude of all persons suffering from
catarrh or physical debility. It is cer
tainly a cure or relief for both.” —E. J.
Turner.
Hon. James Rodney Young, East
Montpelier, Vermont, says:
“I have used your Peruna and am
happy to be able to say that I have
found It to be what it Is advertised to
be—-a great tonic. It conduces to health,
promotes cheerfulness and happiness,
brings refreshing sleep, good appetite,
and is most beneficial as an all-round
medicine and builder up of the system.
I do cheerfully recommend it to any
who are in need of a general tonic and
first-class medicine.”—James R. Young.
Col. Benj. F. Hawkes, of 611 G. St..
S. W., Washington, D. C„ Is one of
the three living comrades of General
Grant in his cadet days at West Point.
In a recent letter thts venerable gentle
man says of Peruna:
“I have tried Peruna after having
tried in vain other remedies for ca
tarrh, apd I can say without reserva
tion that I never felt a symptom of re
lief until I had given Peruna the sim
ple trial that advocates advise. I do
not believe it has a superior either as a
remedy for catarrh or as a tonic for
the depressing and and exhausted con
dition which is one of the effects of the
disease.”—Benj. F. Hawkes.
J. C. Hervus Pelletier, Dept, de I‘Ag
riculture, Ottawa, Ont., writes:
"The Peruna is particularly effica
cious in the cure of catarrhal affeations
of the lungs and bronchial tubes, and
it is in consequence the remedy most
appreciated here in Otttowa. Six bot
tles cured me this winter of bronchitis.
I am completely restored and I owe
thanks to the Peruna. I have recom
mended this remedy to a large number
of my friends afflicted with the same
trouble, and they have verified my good
opinion of this valuable remedy.”—J. C.
Hervus Pelletier.
Nervous Debility.
Everyone who is in the least degree
subject to nervousness, sleeplessness
prostration, mental fatigue or nervous
debility in any form, finds the hot
weather of June, July and August very
hard to bear, if not dangerous.
The only safe course to take Is to
keep the blood pure, digestion good, and
sleep regular. No remedy equals, in all
respects, Peruna for these purposes. If
the system is run down and weakened
by catarrh, Peruna renovates and re
juvenates the nerves and brain.
A book on the catarrhal diseases of
summer "will be mailed to any address
upon request by the Peruna Medicine

isfactory results from the use of Peru

TIIE AGE OF A HORSE.
An Old Groom'* Poetical Advice a*
to Host Not to Be Fooled on It.
"The groom that came to Chester, N.
Y., with Old Abdallah, the sire of
Hambletonian, 65 years ago, said a vet
eran Orange county horseman to a
New York Sun correspondent, "told me
how to tell the age of a horse, and it
has run in my head ever since. This is
the way it ran,” and he repeated the
following rhyme:
To tell the age of any horse,
Inspect the lower jaw, of course,
The six front teeth the tale will tell,
And every doubt and fear dispel.
The middle “nippers” you behold
Before the colt is two weeks old;
Before eight weeks two more will come
Eight months, the “corners” cut the
gum.
The outside grooves will disappear
From middle two In just one year;
In two years from the second pair;
In three the “corners,” too, are bare.
At two, the middle “nippers” drop;
At three, the second pair can’t stop;
When four years old, the third pair
goes;
At five, a full new set he shows.
The deep black spots will pass from
view.
At six years from the middle two;
The second pair at seven years;
At eight, the spot each “corner” clears.
From middle ■•nippers” upper Jaw,
At nine the black spots will withdraw,
The second pair at ten are white;
Eleven finds the corners light.
As time goes on the horsemen know
The oval teeth three-sided grow;
They longer get, project before
’Till twenty, when we know no more.
Science and Old Age.
From “Studies In Human Nature,” by
Prof. Elie Metchnikoff, Putnam’s.
From twenty to fifty a man should
live for himself and his family; from
fifty to one hundred for science and
humanity, and after a hundred for the
state. Honored, useful, in full posses
sion of all his faculties at six-score
years and ten, the graybeard of the
approaching future will be among the
most enviable of mankind. For the fear
of death is an aberration.
The fact is that only one man in a
million at present dies a natural death.
We should live till one hundred and
forty years of age. A man who expires
at seventy or eighty is the victim of
accident, cut off in the flower of his
days, and he unconsciously resents be
ing deprived of the fifty years or so
which nature owes him. Leave him a
little longer and in due time he will
desire to die, as a child at dusk de
sires to sleep. The sandman will pass!
All our instincts drop from us one
by one. The child cries for mother's
milk; the idea of such an ailment is
repugnant to the adult. The desire for
sweets, for play, for love and love
making, for long walks and adven
tures are all impulses that have their
day and pass. And the wish to live Is
an instinct which falls also with sa
tiety. Only at present none of us live
long enough to be eatiate with day*-
