< ay, President J. Idiarte Borda was
shot and killed by an assassin.
The assassination of the president
occurred as he was leaving the cathe¬

President Borda died almost imme-
diately after he was shot.
The assassin is named Arredondo,
supposed to be an anarchist, and was j
arrested. \
Senor Cnestas, president of the sen-
ate, lias assumed the presidency of the
republic ad interim.
Seuor J, Idiarte Borda was elected |
president of Uruguay for the term ex¬
tending from March, 1894, to 1898.
The fete at which he was assassi- j

chief magistracy is said to have been dis- |

to the nationality of the assassin of
the president.
An , attempt, was made to assassinate
the president on the afternoon of April
1 An unknown man met Pres

injury and the criminal was captured,
On that occAftion the president, ac-
eoinpanied by his aid, I doutunant Col-

Another attempt to assiqatehini was
made on May 20th, when he received
a bomb sent to him from Lal’lata, Ar

The I’ennsylvania state republican
convention met in Harrisburg Thurs-
day to nominate candidate* for state
treasurer and auditor general. The
hall was well filled when the proceed-
i iugs began.
The convention organized by the
| election of State Chairman Elkins as
; temporary chairman. Chairman El-
| kins congratulated the party on its
victory last November and its pros-
; poets of success in Pennsylvania this
fall.
Referring to the state issues and the
! action of the legislature on the reform
, bills presented, . , lie , closed , , by saying:
“With more gold on the Klondike,
gold in the harvest fields, the republi-
can party directing the administration
affair;,, the Dingley bill on
our statute books and McKinley hold¬
ing the reins of government, peace
and prosperity shall dwell within our
borders, let us hope, forever.”
The platform adopted ratifies and
reaffirms the doctrines enunciated in
the national platform adopted at St.
Louis in 1896 and approved by the
people in the last presidential election.
In addition it says: “Wo rejoice
with the people of the nation upon the
passage of the Dingley tariff bill. Its
enactment redeems the pledges made
by the republican party to our pros-
Date manufacturing, commercial and
business interests and holds out to
them the bright, promise of prosperity

SAVED TILLMAN BY CHEATING.
I nn,Ii-Iatirb.v Makes a Sensational Ad-
lniMMion In Hi, Speech at Manning.
In his speech at Manning, 8. C.,
Colonel Irby made the statement that
he had cheated Tillman into his nom-
ination in 18 f )f).
The circumstance created a sensa¬
tion at the time. Irby said:
“I hatched Tillman. The truth of
this whole matter is that Tillman and I
joined teams in 1881, after his agita¬
tion in i88-1 for the purpose, first, to
establish an agricultural college in
South Carolina. On the question of
college or no college, we were iuglori-
ously defeated.
“Tillman became disgusted and at¬
tempted to organize the farmers of the
state, threw up the sponge, wrote a
long letter to the people of the state
expressing his contempt and retired to
his home among the old hills of Edge-
field.
“i n get him back I originated the
March convention idea a year before
Hie convention was held and gave
him the nomination on a silver waiter.
On the question of nomination or no
nomination in that convention we were
defeated by one vote. I cheated tlio
question of nomination, which saved
1 illman, who was to be the nominee.
'1 he end justified the means, because
persons opposed to nominations had
not been invited to that convention
and they had no right to control its
deliberations.”
FATAL FLAMES IN FLORIDA.

At Port Tampa, Fla., Sunday after-
noon Marie, the fonrteen-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Prances Valdez, went
to the kitchen to start a fire. She
poured on kerosene, and instantly
there was a deafening explosion, fol¬
lowed by the girl’s agonizing death
cries as she ran from tha room a blaz¬
ing mass.
AIis. Valdez at once went to her
daughter’s assistance. While she was
attempting to extinguish the flames
her own clothes caught tire, and the
two ran screaming from the house.
Both wore burned beyond recognition
about their faces.
The house caught from the flames,
and was soon a mass of fire. A small
boy was burned in tlio house.
The tire spread rapidly and five
bouses owned by the Plant Invest¬
ment company were burned, there be¬
ing no fire protection.
ALABAMA COAL FOR MEXICO.

Pensacola consisting of 500 tons,
which whieli will be shipped to Vera
Cruz, Mexico, to be introduced to the
trade in that country, now being sup¬
plied by an English coal company.
The discriminating duty on Mexican

A Columbia, S. C., special says: It

tor McLaurin. While MeLaurin lias
been sick a quantity of campaign Htern-
tun; has been sent out from liis head¬
quarters at Columbia. Several of these
reflected on Evan’s character.
The ex-governor declared a few days
ago, at Kings tree, that unless Mc¬
Laurin made a public disclaimer to
the effect that he did not authorize or in¬
dorse these circulars he would hold
him personally responsible. It was
not expected that McLaurin would
notice this, but Saturday night he
issued the following card:
"I am responsible for everything in tlio
campaign that is offensive to Mr. Evans and
ho need not put himself to tho trouble of
making any inquiries, but may proeoed when

! MAXIM GUN TO PROTECT GOLD
Will lie Placed on Steamer Portland Thnt
Sails for Klondike.
A rapid lire Maxim gun for the pro¬
tection of tno gold returning from the
Klondike was secured at Chicago Fri¬
day.
It is to be sent to Seattle, Wash.,
where it will be placed in position on
the steamer Portland. Fifty rounds
of ammunition will accompany the
gun ou the vessel where it can be
used on a possible pirating vessel, or
to sweep the decks of the Portland in
case of mutiny.
Fuel in Liquid Form.
Liqni.l fuel is coming into general
use among engineers, and there can be
little doubt that if road carriages are
to be propelled by steam, the only fuel
admissible will be some form of petro
leura. At a late meeting of the North¬
east Coast Institution in South Shields,
Mr. R. R. Wallis read a paper giving
the results of many experiments to
ascertain the calorific and evaporative
value of various oils as fuol for steam
raising. In comparing coal and oil
he shows that the value of each varies
greatly with the quality and circum¬
stances under which burned, oil do¬
ing from one and a half to two and a
half times the work of an equal weight
of coal. This is Accounted for, first,
by the complete combustion of oil
without loss of heat in soot or smoke;'
second, because there are no fires to
clean with the accompanying loss of
heat and fall of steam pressure, the
pressure and revolution of the engines
being maintained; third, because the
boiler tubes are always clean and in
the best condition for the beat from
gases passing through them to the
boiler, and fourth, because the tem¬
perature of the escaping gases may be
lower than is necessary to create the
draught necessaiy for coal firing.
There are no bars nor thick fire for
the air to force its way through; the
required amount of air can be drawn
through the furnace by a lower up¬
take temperature, and the admission
of air being under complete control
and the fuel burned in fine particles in
close contact with the oxygen of the
air, only a very small excess of air is
required. It occupies, moreover, only
half the space needed for coal.—Na¬
tional Recorder.
Eel Blood for Snake Bite.
Some years ago the naturalist Mosse
found that the blood of eels, particu¬
larly that of sea eels, contained # poi¬
son which acted, when transferred into
the human system, similar to the
venom of viperB, although weaker, in¬
asmuch as the eel poison brought
about a similar reduction of the tem¬
perature of the bLood aa the snake
poison. Professor
Based upon this fact, 0.
Phisalix made very interesting re¬
searches, which he presented recently
to the Academy of Sciences at Paris.
He concluded that the blood of eels
possessed immunifying agencies upon
snake poison. He succeeded by heat¬
ing a solution of eel poison to 58 de¬
grees centigrade to destroy its viru¬
lence, so that it was possible to inocu¬
late a guinea pig with the fluid, the
only effect being the raising of the
temperature by a few degrees. This
reaction of the organism was followed
by a perfect capability to resist the
poison of the vipers, which was ad¬
ministered in a deadly dose fifteen to
twenty hours after the inoculation
with eci blood, but it absolutely failed
to kill the animal. Even a very small
quantity of the heated eel serum .was
sufficient to produce immunity from
snake poison. This discovery is most
important, since it can be employed
for immunifying human beings against
snake bites, and, if not too far pro¬
gressed, it will even insure a more
rapid recovery from snake bite of vic¬
tims who had not previously been i;u-
nmnitied with the serum.—Philadel¬
phia Record.

The Shut-Up Closet.
The Ohio Sanitary Bulletin thus
discourses upon the shut-up clothes
closet: “It is the usual thing to have
one or more closets for clothing open¬
ing into each bed-room. Often these
are in inner walls; that is, do not have
a window opening out of doors, and
a i ■ consequently dark, unventilated
pockets. This is exceedingly objec¬
tionable for closets anywhere, and es¬
pecially so for closets opening into a
bed-room. An outer garment, which
has been worn for several days—the
frock of the woman, the coat and
trousers of the man—is taken off and
hung up in this dark, unventilated
box of a place. The garments #re
more or less impregnated, even with
the most cleanly people, with effete
matters which it is the function of the
skin to remove from the body. These
are of organic character and must de¬
cay, adding impurities to the atmos¬
phere. Where such closets already
exist care at least may be taken to
thoroughly air all clothing before
placing it in the closet, and the closet
door may be left open while the bed¬
room is being aired and sunned, as it'
should be, for several hours each
morning.”
A New Johnson (?) Story.
In glancing through the recently
published work on that worthy bore,
Dr. Johnson, I failed to discover the
following anecdote. It is carefully
preserved by a family whose Scotch
ancestors took a rise out of the great
lexicographer:
Hostess—Dr. Johnson, what do you
think of our Scotch broth?
Dr. Johnson—Madam, in my opinion
it’s only lit for pigs.
Hostess—Then have some more.—

Writing to Mrs. Pinkham.
She says:—I have been using your
Vegetable Compound and find that it
does all that it is recommended to do.
I have been a sufferer for the last four
years with womb

hack and excre¬
tions. I was hard- 7

I am feeling like a new woman.—

After the old proprietors of the article
Bow called ‘‘Black Draught.” were by the
United StatC3 Court enjoined from using
the words constituting our trade name—
docs not equity require that they stand on
their own trade name and merits (if any) of
their article, and not seek to appropriate
the trade for our article called for and
known us Dr. Simmons Diver Medicine, by
publishing the picture of another Dr. Sim¬
mons on their wrapper and falsely advertis¬
ing that their article **Black Draught” was
established in ]840, that being the year in
which our article was established, while no
one ever heard of “ Black Draught” till
after 1876. Why do they advertise that
falsehood and associate their article with
ours (having it) by the their picture of Dr. M. A..Sim¬
mons on publication of the
picture of another Dr. Simmons, if not done liei
to unfairly appropriate *>ur trade? I»
the motive apparent?
