child had complete ease, and there was no

imagine that nature, unless aided by these
herbs. could work so rapid a change. At

the government taken the home precau-
ton of vaccination the treatment would
probably never have been needed.

M0NTEREY'S REVOLUTION
POLITICIANS SOLELY REsPONsI-
BILE FOR THE TROUBLE.

The Governor still Fugitive, and Not
Apt to be Captured-GOOd Government
Believed to be Impossible Until the
Last of the Gonzales Regime is Wiped
Out.
VILLA GARCIA, NUEvA LEON, MEXICO,
Dec. 2.--There has been little change in
the situation to-day. The revolutionary
army under Manuel Rodreguiz pulled up
its stakes here to-day, and marched to-
ward Monterey, not being able TO catchup
with Gov. Sepulyada, who is supposed to
be under cover at a ranch called Santa
Rosa. near the boundary line the States
of Nueva Leon and Coahuila, where be is
sale Tor the present. The rumor that
Gen. Mier would succeed Gen. Reyes as
commander of the Federal forces at Mon
terey is without foundation. Gen. Reyes
will be sustained by the President, and
the Federal Government will appoint a
military governor over the State of Nueva
Leon without doubt. This seems to have
been the object II view from the first.
WORKING FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT.
The present administration are doing
their utmost to establish good government,
and it is thought this will be accomplish
ed when the last one of the Gonzales re-
gime will have been wiped out. The peo-
pie are almost unanimous in support of
this measure, and the more intelligent
executive will henceforth take the rens
OF power. The revolutionary party are
still increasing their forces, and will be
on the alert in the event OF possible re-
surrectiOn of the Governor. On the other
hand. several of the small towns along
the Northern States are organizing force
TO come to the Governors rescue.
NO SERIOUS FIGHTING.
Gen. Narajos IS at Lampasas, recruit
ing men for this purpose, While Gen. Ma
ranjO. Gen. TrevinO and GOvernor-elect
Genaro Gaia Garcia, of Nueva Leon, are
in the City of Mexico comforting with the
President in the same interest. 1t is not
expected here, however, that they will ac-
cOmplish anything. The common peo-
pie are but slightly interested in the
present political disturbance. 1t is who'll
ly the work Of politicians, cut anC dried
! by the leaders. The battles so called are
merely skirmishes. The men engaged on
either side are fighting for daily wages
and not principle. They make up in noise
what they lack in execution.

DETRoITs FANATIC POLES.
The Two New Priests Greeted by q Mob
at 81. AIbert's Church.

DETROIT, MICH, Dec. 2.-The trouble
at st. Alberts Catholic Church was re-
sumed this morning. When Fathers
DOndrowski and Jaworski, the newly ap-
pointed pastors, attempted to read the
morning mass crowd of a thousand
Polish women and a number Of men were
in the church and the services were inter-
rupted by yells ana tho brandishing Of
fists, and number Of women tried 10 get
at the altar to remove the priests. Po-
licem On were stationed at the heads of the
aisles and prevented any progress toward
the altar. One woman climbed over the
pews and succeeded in getting within
the sanctuary, where she prayed
and yelled by turns in Polish.
STRIPPED OF HIS HABIT.
Father Jaworski came forward to speak
to the people, but eager hands clutched
him and tore his habit of. At this time
there were 80 policemen in and about the
edifice, and the conflicts between them
aud the people were many. Fathers
Dombrowski and Jaworski were pelted
with mud while crossing the street on
their return TO their seminary opposite
the church. The police cleared the street,
but the crowd closed in, making it impos-
sible TO prevent the assault. The new
priests ofliciated this morning at a
funeral. Father Kolasinski, the deposed
priest, still holds out in the rectoTy OF
the church, but Bishop Borgess. has given
him notice TO surrender the rectOTy to the
new pastors by tomorrow night. He
still leads the people, but cOunsels mod

This afternoon the trouble in the Polish
congregation was r. sumed. Thomas
ZolthOfski, a groceryman, has been the

mated by the business men OF Athens for

Glass Manufacturers Compromise Mt =
10 Per Cent. Reduction.
PITTsBURG, Dec. 2.-The strike at both
the Hamilton Prescription glass factories
in this city, which has been carried on for
one year and two days, ended this morn
ing. The strike was made against 20
per cent. reduction in wages. A compro-
mise has been effected by which work Ia
resumed at a reduction Of 10 per cent.
This action, it is believed, will be the
cause OF reconciliation between the pre-
scription glass blowers and their employ
ers all over the country, as this city has
been regarded as the field for the contest.
A large number OF men will find employ
ment in this city.

cluded. Francis w. Breed, of Lynn, pre-
sided. After number OF speeches had
been delivered, an organization was
formed under the name OF ''The New

ton" The object OF the associa-
tion is TO combine the various
small organizations into one body which
may In time assume national and per-
haps International proportions, and thus
be enabled % successfully cope with the
Knights OF Labor. 1t is understood that
no definite action was taken regarding
