enemy's artillery fire was very good. but
fortunately they fired common shell nearly
all day. and when they did fire shrapnet

IsHMAILIA, August 25, Evening Il
pushed on again this morning at daybrea
The enemy had strongly intrenched their
position at Mahalla, and from the bold way
in which they attacked us yesterday /
hoped the would stand their ground to-day.
They withdrew their guns, however, last
night. They had nineteen in action yes
terday The force at my disposal this
morning was the first division and all the
English cavalry with sixteen guns. My
intention was to pivot on my left at the
dam, we took yesterday, and swing round
my right to take their place in the enemy's
position in the flank, and drive them into
the fresh water canal; send the cavalry
completely around their position to occupy
the railway in their rear, and. if possible,
capture their Engines and rolling stock
This operation was very well
carried out. All the heavy work developed
Oh cavalry and artillery, which were well
handled by Maj. Gen. Low. He attacked
the rear of the enemy, who had a large
camp at Mohalmch railway station, which
he took, routing the enemy with consider
able loss, occupying five Krupp guns, sew
enty-five railway carriages laden with pro-
visions and a large quantity of ammuni-
tion and rifles. l intend tomorrow to
occupy Kassasin, in the lock of the fresh
water canal, two and one-half miles west
of Messames station, and its position will
secure us passage across the desert living
between Ishmailia and the cultivated land
of the Delta. Tue losses yesterday were,
Household cavalry, one private killed and
five wounded, and ten horses killed. Horse
artillery, two privates and five horses killed

subjected him to the most thorough exam
ination possibl after his recovery, and I
can't find out about him. His kidneys,

sound. l can only add that, from what I
have seen, I would unhesitatingly recon-
mend this remedy"
The conclusions from the statements
above made which come to the newspaper
man as well as the general public, must be
two-fold. First that modern miracle of
healing has been performed in our midst,
and that, too, by the simplest means and
one which is within the reach of every one
1t should be remembered that Bright's dis
ease is not usually sudden complaint. Its
beginnings are slight and its growth slow.
The symptoms by which it may be detected
are different with different persons, no two
people usually having the same. This fact was
manifest in the case of Mr.. Larrabee, and
he had no idea Of the terrible complaint
which had attacked him until it became
such high character and SO out-spoken in
tone, conclusively prove the value of the
remedy and its superior nature to the pro-
prietary articles with which the public have
been flooded. "The greater includes the
less," and the remedy which has been
proven SO valuable and has saved life after
it was brought down to deaths door, must
unquestionably be certain in all minor
| troubles which are SO disastrous unless
taken in time.

A Worthy and Substantial Institution
Some Facts and Figures.
The Knoxville Marriage Benefit Associa-
ton, mutual benevolent institution organ
ICED under the laws of Tennessee, has just
been established in this city, and an or
ganization effected, with the following Of
ticers
President, Isham Young; vice
president, C. S. Newman secre-
tary and treasurer, Alex. Allison; gen.
eral manager, G. FL. Leftwich; attorney,
Fl. H. Taylor. The board of officers con-
stitutes the charter members of the associa-
ton, and among the names will be recog-
nized some of Knoxville's most substantial
citizens and business men, which of itself is
a sufficient guarantee of the firm foundation
and business principles upon which the as
sociation is based. But brief
glance at the objects and aims of the or
ganization will serve to convince the most
careless reader even, of the worthiness and
safety of the institution, as a means of in
vestment and benefit.
THE OBJECTS OF THE ASSOCIATION

icy holders, at marriage, or maturity of
policy, and to enable the unmarried to con-
tribute to marriage fund. 1t works for

| the marriage of member, or the maturing
of an endowment, pay $3.50 for each poll
| cy held the So to go to the benefit fund
and the 80 cents to the expense fund, the
two being separate and distinct funds.
The $4,000 benefit is computed on q
membership of not less than two thous-
and. The monthly accumulations com
mence sixmonths from date of membership
and continue up to and including the 2e
months from date of policy, the monthly
accumulation being $75 per month, on a
basis of 1000 members, commencing
months from date of membership.
The membership fee is $40 on 50, ,00(

companying each application. The annua
dues are Sc, payable semi-annually.
