I French ? d 10 be Arming F.r a
D ,perate struggle.
j jC lon, Oct. 20. —Sir Michael
chancellor of the
ex> equer, speaking at North
g'eids tkis evening, announced
<*t the g)vernment had opened
with the powers
with i viav of securing to the
B ubj£ts of the various powers
the fight of developing the re
g spheres in which each
Cu itry is especially interested.”
regarding the Fashoda ques
fi, he said he wished cordially
acknowledge the desire evi
nced in the speeches of Lord
roseberry and Herbert Asquith
o help the government in the
matter, “a matter which might
develop to the utmost gravity.”
“It is impossible,” he contin
ued, “for France to maintain
that she had political rights at
Fashuda. She was naturally and
properly asked for time to receive
Maj. Marchand’s reports, but
until the contrary is proven 1
decline to believe that France
•will refuse to withdraw. If she
refused the matter would assume
an aepsct as grave as is possible
between two great nations.
“The government is animated
by the friendliest spirit toward
France and does not wish to in
flict humilation. What we desire
is fair treatment. Our work in
Egypt is not completed. Africa
is big enough for us both—for
France in the west and ourselves
in the East. Surely we ought to
be able to agree to respect one
another’s rights and claims. I
hope, trust, believe the question
is capable of a friendly solution,
but this country has put her foot
down.”
Paris, Oct. 20.—1 n spite of
semi-official denial, the Echo de
Paris asserts today that the em
barkation of war materials and
supplies continues at Toulon,
adding that extraordinary activ
ity reigns at the arsenal there.
Besides the ironclads Admiral
Techeuart, Bovine3,Jemmanp«s,

Disease is a great and treacherous ocean.
Man ever stands upon its shore and gazes
out over its calm surface without a thought
of danger. It licks his feet—it advances
and recedes almost playfully—but all the
aame it will crack his bones and eat him,
and wipe the crimson foam from its jaws
as if nothing had happend, as it has teen
doing ever since the world began.
A man who carelessly saunters along the
shore of the insatiate sea of disease, will
some day encounter a great storm in the
form of some fatal malady and will be en
gulfed. Because a man does not have to go
to bed when he suffers from a trivial indi
gestion, because he does not have to git'e
up work when he gets nervous and cannot
sleep at night, because he can still force
down an unsatisfactory meal when he is
Buffering from loss of appetite, because by
•trong effort he can add a column of figures
with aching head—is no reason that these
disorders are trifling or to be neglected.
They are the warnings of serious sickness
A man who promptly heeds them, and re
•orts to the right remedy, will speedily re
cover his usual health. The man who neg
lects them will find that he is iu the grip
of consumption, some nervous disorder, or
some other dread malady, due to improper
qr insufficient nutrition. Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery is the best of
all medicines for men and women who suf
fer in this way. It restores the lost appe
tite, facilitates the flow of digestive juices

the blood and tones and builds up the

Comptroller Qf New York Says
$757,000 Was Illegally Paid.
New York, Oct. 20, —Comp'rol.

We have sold hundreds and

Patterns since we have taken the

find that not one pattern’ has
ever been returned as unsatis

sales, not one word of criticism
has ever been heard against the

On the contrary many ladies

Successful Operation Perform

New York, Oct. 20.—Richard
Smith, the Adirondack lumber
man, who came to New York to
have removed part of the abnor
mal eight inch nose which has
given him so much notoriety,
j»nd the nickname of “Cyrano de

operated upon yesterday in St.
Vincent’s hospital by Dr. Joseph
D. Bryant. It is expected that
Smith’s proboscis will be per

weeks. Smith is waiting for the
day, for then it will be known
how the whittled nose looks.

EMPEROR STILL LIVES.
French Physician Said to Have
Examined Him.
Pekin, Oct. 20.—1 t was at the
suggestion of the British minis
ter, Sir Claude Macdonald, that
the Chinese foreign office re
quested the physician attached
to the French legation to exam
ine the emperor, the reason as
signed for this step being that
this physician was the only one
officially attached to a legation.
The examination of the em
peror by a foreign doctor is a
complete innovation. It has
often been urged, but has al
ways been refused by the Em
peror himself, and the dowager
empress has evidently taken
this stop for tho purpose of si
lencing rumors as to the emper
peror’s condition.
The physician who visited
the emperor this morning made
a minute examination of his
majesty in the presence of the
dowager empress, Prince Ching
had a number of mandarins.
Exact details as to the specific
disease from which the emperor
is suffering were not obtainable.
But he is weak, aenemic and re
quires constant care. He is in
no immediate danger.
He was cheerful and showed
the utmost deference to the
dowager empress. The doctor
promised to send his majesty a
prescription.

Gen. Lee will have several
regiments of regular United

he goes to Cuba. The Seventh

Too •
Much Knife I
The use of the surgeon’s knife is be
coming so general, resulting fatally
in such a large number oi cases, as to
occasion general alarm.
Mr. William Walpole, of Walshtown,
Bouth Dakota, writes; “About
three years ago, there came under
my left eye a little blotch about the
asiae of a small pea.
It grew rapidly, and
shooting pains ran
in every direction.
I became alarmed
and consulted a
good doctor, who
pronounced it can
cer, and said that it
must be cut out.
This I would not
consent to, having
little faith in the
Indiscriminate use of the knife. Read
ing of the many cures made by S. S.
S., I determined to give that medicine
a trial, and after I had taken it a few
days, the cancer became irritated and
began to discharge. This after awhile
eeased, leaving a small scab, which
finally dropped off, and only a healthy
little scar remained to mark, the place
where the destroyer had held full sway.

''THROW GIRL”
TONIGHT'S BILL,

Woodward-Warren Go., Play
ing to big Houses.
the paymaster, played
Last Night With Guy Woodward
in New Role.
The Wood ward-Warren Co.,
last night in “The Paymaster”
gave a brilliant performance to
a big house at Nevins'.
This is the only play this
splendid papular price company
puts on in which the inimitable
and irrepressible Guy Wood
ward, the commedian, cakes the
rolo as leading man.
And he plays it well, too. The
truth is, Guy Woodward is an
al-round first-class ac or, and
good combination man on the
stage —or off of it.
His support last night was
such that no room was left for
adverse criticism. Miss Tucker,
Roy Miss Price, Miss Elberta
and the man who did the “Wil
liam J.’’ business each did per
fect portrayal work in the char
acters they represented. So
much for Guy and the ladies of
his support.
Messrs. Middleton, Walter,
Smith and Gilderoy were true
soldiers and every inch gentle
men, while Siggens and Sulli
van made a most precious pair
of stage scoundrels.
The specialties were unusual
ly fine—and right here we want
to apologize to that gifted young
Texan, Arthur Gale, for having
said that Mr. Bert Waller was
doing the brilliant burnt cork
specialties ; the program led us
into the error .
Bert Walter is too good a n
Irishman to do apy kind of
black-faced work. While Gale,
oh Sale rises in a black cloud,
raises the roof and storms the
pit and brings down the house.
And that other Bert—he of
the tribe of Gilderoy—he was
there last night and gave two
new illustrated songs and au old
one—and either was worth tiie
price of admission.
“Little” Carrie Cordelia is a
most precocious bit of humanity
You have to hear btr viva
cious singing and see her fairy
like kaperiugs, kick lugs, kavort
ings and ksrryings on to appre
ciate her.
Tonight the bill is “The Other
Girl” a farce comedy that has
not been played in Ror e -since
Guy Woodward and Mabel Paige
played it five years ago. 'Thera’s
fun in it to beat the band.
By the way, that reminds me
that Mabel Paige was once quite
a favorite in Rome, and her
many admirers here anticipated
a brilliant stage career for her,
I learn that she is not the suc
cess she gave promise of. She
developed from a lithsoine slip
of a girl into a large and hand
some woman—too queenly to
successfully play the roll of sou
brette.
Howard Gould, who, accord

the theatrical profession. He is
28 years old and a keen business
man, so that, having still some
