the visitors carried away greasy, oI,.,us remi-

Nothing to Lose.

What inducement can counterfeiter
have to produce anything good or res
liable? He has no reputation and
no thing to lose, and If he can make
anything cheap that he can get
money out of, what cares he whether
it does harm or net? Any one who
will resort to substituting, counter
feiting or initiating SO as to steal from
the reputation of another will not do
to be trusted, certainly in making
medicine for the sick. Such Is the
action of several adventures who imi-
tate, substitute or claim some medi>
cine to take the place Of Simmons
Liver Regulator. They would steal its
reputation. Are these the kind of
people you want to make your physic
or sell you medicine? Beware OF all
such and their nostrums! Do not
touch anything but the genuine,
which is in White Wrapper, and has
the red le ter z aud Mortar in the
front, and is made by J. II. Zailin

Floyd Reamey. and sister of Joseph 81.
Ketron, A. :, principal Of Kingsley

Mrs. Reamey was consistent member
of the Methodist Episcopal church, and
ker death was that of Christian-calm,
trusting, hopeful. For several weeks she
was confined to her bed, at times suffering
ex, eedingly, yet she bore all with patient,
Christian spirit. Like Christ, while suffr r
ing, she thought of others, earnestly asked
ali to love and serve the Lord. and meet
ber in that heavenly home to which she
was fast approaching Her words to all
were, 'meet me in heaven"
Mrs. Reamey was in the bloom of youth,
was married less than year ago to hel
loving, devoted husband with whom she
anticipated spending many happy, useful
years. But God planned otherwise, and
his ways. though they seem dark and
things work together for our good. He il
Just, loving, and tender though he some.
times sends severe affections upon US.
To the beresved husband and sorrowing
fam ly, we would say, while you mourn
be comforted with the blessed thought that
the loved one is at rest in that beautiful
land; the far away home of the soul, u
where she will be watching and waiting tc
welcome you.
20 how sweet it will be in that beautiful
land,
So free from all sorrow and psinT
With songs on our lips and with harps in
our hands,
To meet one another again"

Yesterday from the secretary of the

~ the British steamer Sandringham,
and ordering him to put her out
Of the dock at once if she is
not in danger of sinking, and she is
onlv to make such repairs as will en-
able her to reach a private dock
This morning Naval Constructor
Webb examined the ship and re"
ported to the commodore that she
would be able to reach Baltimore
without any danger of sinking.
Upon receipt of Mr.. Webb's report
Commander Mullen was Immediately
dispatched to- order her out of the
dock.
New YORK. Nov. 2T.-A special
from Norfolk, Va, says the Virgin.
ian, of this city, publishes the follow
ing to-day: The report that the
secretary of the navy had consented
to the necessary repairs on the
S. S. Sandringham, at the navy yard,
is unfounded.
British Consul Myers has received
telegram from Secretary Thomp-
son referring the matter to Commo-
dore Hughes, who had in the mean
while ordered the steamer out of the
dock. She leaves this evening fo1
Baltimore, where repairs will be
made on Monday. No little sur
prise is expressed by the British
consul at the action. He considers
that even had the insult been given
which is denied by the captain, thai
when an apology and explanation
was made in person and writing, re-
psirs should have been permitted
especially when the secretary of the
navy was informed that, if required
Capt. Mckay would be relieved o.
command of the vessel.
