A Safeguard.

The fatal rapidity with which slight
Colds and Coughs frequently develop
into the gravest maladies of the throat
and lungs, is a consideration which should
impel every prudent person to keep at
hand, as household remedy, bottle of
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL.
Nothing else gives such immediate relief
and works so sure cure i'll all affections
of this class. That eminent physician,
Prof. f. Sweetzer, of the Maine Medical
School, Brunswick, Me-, says
"Medical science mas produced no other ano-
dyne expcctorant good as AYERS CHERRY
PICTORIAL. Ii is invaluable for diseases of the
throat and lungs"
The same opinion is expressed by the
well-Lnown DR.. L. j. Addison, of Chicago,
ILL.,, who says:-
'I have never found, in thirty five years Of
continuous study and practice of medicine, any
preparation of SO great value as AYERS CHERRY
PECToRAL, for treatment of diseases of the
throat and lungs. 1t not only breaks up colds
and cures severe coughs, but is more effective
than anything else in relieving even the most
serious bronchial and pulmonary affections"

AYERS
Cherry PectoraI

Is not n new claimant for popular conf
dence, but medicine which is to-day
saving the lives of the third generation
who have come into being since it was
first offered to the public.
There is not q household in which this
invaluable remedy has once been in
troduced where its use has ever been
abandoned, and there is not person
who has ever given it u proper trial
for any throat or lung disease suscep-
tible of cure, who has not been made
well by it.
AYERS CHERRY PECTORAL has,
in numberless instances, cured obstinate
cases of chronic Bronchitis, Laryngitis,
and even acute Pneumonia, and has
saved many patients in the earlier stages
of Pulmonary Consumption. 1t is q
medicine that only requires to be taken in
small doses, is pleasant to the taste, and is
needed in every house where there are
children, as there is nothing so good as
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL for treat
ment of Group and Whooping Cough.
These are all plain facts, which can be
verified by anybody, and should be re-
membered by everybody.

A PANTHER AT BAY,
How Mcclellan Killed Big Brute In
the Nick of Time.

Il never see panther" said gentleman
who was standing in the Central Park me-
nagerie the other day, without thinking Of
the way General Mcclellan attacked one
when he was breyet captain in the regular
army. The story has never been told. Me-
Clellan was the second i'm command of the
first exploring expedition that ascended the
Red river of the south to its source. Cap
tain X. B. Marcy was in command, and
brother OF mine was a teamster on the expe-
dltion. On the 2Sth June, 1852, the troops had
eneamped, after march of eight miles over
about the toughest country wagon ever
crossed, at the foot of the majestic cliffs
that form the borders of the Staked Plains
OIL New Mexico. The eScarpments rose to a
height of from 700 to 100 feet, and the streams
ana springs which form the Red river rise in
the gulleyS and receSSes of these towering
rocks. Captain Marcy, with Mcclellan as
his companion, started to examine the eOun-
try on horseback, after the camp was made
and when a mile or two from the camp saw
on the opposide of a little meadow half a
mile away, herd of antelopes. The grass
and the lay Of the land favored an approach,
ana leaving the horses with Mcclellan, Mar
cy crept to within 900 to 700 yards of the an
mals and began to use bleat initiating the
call OF a fawn. In a minute or two the herd
started toward him on the trot He was
about to shoot one of them when a rustic in
the grass to his left attracted his attention.
lie looked around, and to his astonishment,
saw an enormous panther bounding towards
him. He at once fired at the panther and
tumbled it over. He then started back for
his horse, and, meeting Mcclellan, the two
men returned to skin the panther. When
they reached the place where it had~fallen
they were surprised to see it jump up andn
make off at lively pace, although limping.
Without a moments hesitation Mcclellan
headed it off and cOrnered it, with some rocks
ON one side and Marcy OIL the other Almost
any animal will fight when cornered, but a
wounded panther is about the worst beast
that man can attack. 1t crouehed with its
tail quivering, and then jumped for him. Nc
Clellan, without apparent effort, stepped to
one side, swung his rifle above his head, and
brought 1t down at the base of the panther's
cad, breaking the neck of the beast at one
blow, 1t measured eight feet from nose to
to tail"

a PERILoUs FEAT.
A Man Bound Hand and Foot Swims
East River

New YORK, July 2S-There was great excite
ment along the East River front, in the neighbor-
hood of Dover street. yesterday afternoon. The
cause of it was the report that Professor Dennie
Butler wonld attempt to swim the East River from
New York to Brooklyn, with hands and feet firmly
tied, for wager OF $3.50; the swimmer was en-
ccased In network OF rope; his arms were lashed
firmly TO his sides and his hands crossed were tied
stoutly across his back. His legs from the hips
down were also lashed together, and his crossed
feet secured by coils of half inch rope. He was
apparently helpless. Two men lifted the professor
by the shoulders, and the body plunged into the
water like bar Of lead, sinking out of sight. A
few seconds later the professor Spouted water like
a porpoSe four rods away.
The minute the swimmer touched the BROOKLYN
dock he was hauled aboard the tug half hum
dred whistles were sounded from tugs and facto-
ries while 10000 people yelled themselves hoarse.
1t was found that the Shrinkage or the cords in
the water had cut deeply into Buffers flesh and he
must have suffered terribly, though he declared
that he was no more exhausted than after an or
binary swim. He said that at one time in the
rough waves which engulfed him he came very
near choking as he was under water at times for
several minutes. When his head touched the
Long Island shore the referees watch indicated
7.06 a. m. The distance swan over, according to
the captain of the tug, was little more than a
mile. Time 10 minutes

Sir Moses Montefore, the famous philan-
thropist, was born in London October "a,
1854 His ancestors for several generations
were wealthy London bankers. In 1912 he
married Miss Judith Cohen, sister
in-law of Nathan Meyer Rothschild,
the founder Of the London branch of the
house by that name. While visiting Pales-
tine in 1899 with his wife he became inter
ested in his eo-religiOnists in the East. In
1887 he became sheriff of London, was
knighted on the Queens visit to the city,
and in 1876 was made baronet. He again
in 1910 made visit to the East on the occa
sion of the persecution of the Jews in Da-
mascus and Palestine ON several other occa-
sions, always in the interest and for the re-
lief of the Jews. In 1916 he prevailed upon
the Emperor Nicholas to suspend ukase
against the Jews and was invited to visit
Poland to suggest measures for the ameliora-
tion of the condition of the Jewish inhabit-
ants. In 1854 he collected a fund for the
relief of the sufferers by the famine in the
East, obtained from the Sultan the privilege
of holding real estate and established poor
houses in Jerusalem. He also promoted in
anu Ill blldG I6SlUu. I16
afterwards obtained firman from the Sui
tan of Morocco in favor of the prosecuted
Jews, guaranteeing their equal protection
with Christians. In 1866, in his SD year, he
made his last visit to his proteges in Pales-
tine, who had been afflicted by cholera and
whose crops had been destroyed by locusts
In 1867 he endowed Jewish synagogue at
Ramsgate in honor of his wife who died
childless in 1862 The freedom of the city of
London was rendered him in 1873 with a
valuable present in token of his beneyoence.
In his later years he had a habit of giving
which may be described as cosmopolitan. Sir
Moses took considerable interest in Ameri-
can affairs, and after the death of President
Garfield expressed his appreciation of that
statesman worth by sending to Mr.. A. A.
Marcus of Boston the sum of $500 to be dis
tributed among the charities of Boston in
memory of the deceased President Sir
MOsesl celebrated the Tooth anniversary of
his birthday on October "a, 1884, and the
day was appropriately observed by his core
ligionists in this city.

American Conductors and the Mexi-

AUSTIN, Tex, July Ex-Governor Ireland
yesterday received letter from Secretary of
State Bayard concerning the arrest of Con-
ductor King of the Mexican National rail
road in Mexico some months ago for putting
a Mexican customs officer off the train. The
secretary submits a statement from Senior
Moriscal, the Mexican minister of foreign
affairs, go to show that the conductor was in
fault. But the evidence is entirely ex parte,
and Governor Ireland says he has nothing
more to say about the matter except that, as
the state department seems to drop the mat
ter, the rule will be established that conduc-
tors who are American citizens will hereaf-
ter be under the orders of every local Gus
toms official instead of under the control of
railway officials.
