These men complain bitterly of the unnec es
sarily harsh treatment they received from
the guard of 10 black soldiers who were put
on board the Haytian Republic after her
capture by the Haytian gunboat Dessalines.
The blacks the American sailors
say, behaved like lot of savages, and
many of the steamers crew bear marks
OF bayonets on their persons for not
having obeyed some slight order quick
enough. The wife of Capt. Compton and
her niece, who were on board the Haytian
Republic, were not free from the insults Of
the Haytian soldiers, and were subject to
many intignities during the seven days they
were compelled to remain on the vessel.
Complaint is also made that officers of the
U. s. cruiser Boston, which arrived in the
harbor during the captivity of the Haytian
Republic, treated the crews appeals for as
sistance with Indifference, and even refused
to aid them In making comfortable one of
their number who was suffering from

at Detroit.
A few days ago A. T. Rice, Pittsburg
coal dealer, was robbed, pounded into uncon
seriousness, and then thrown into the Detroit
river for dead. He still lives, and in day
or two will be able more clearly to tell how
it came about. From letters in his pockets
and what he is able to remember, it appears
that Rice received letter from Windsor a
short time ago, signed "Ralph Hannah"
The writer said he understood Rice wanted
to buy some horses, and that he had some to
sell. The result OF the CORE,
spondence was that Rice said he would
come to Windsor and meet Hannah at the
West End hotel The day of meeting was
arranged but "Haunann did not appear

and the same pair of hands snatched his gold
watch and chain, valued at Sl75, and took
from his inside pocket wallet containing
SAT in cash and the letter Hannah had
sent appointing the mseting. The
next thing Rice remembers was feeling
very cold and realizing that he was in the
river. He was short distance from the
Shore and after great effort reached the
wharf. Hero his cries brought assistance,
and he was helped to hotel. He is sore,

Among the wounded taken from the
wreck in the Mud Run disaster was cadet
appai emily fourteen years of age. He was
very weak and crying piteously for drink.
There was scarcity OF water, as the coolers
were all full. A man present had flask of
whisky which he purchased at the hotel and
rendered the 10y drink. At the mention
of drink the lad GRABBED eagerly at it and
murmured: "Oh thanks" as he placed it to
his lips. He no sooner tasted it than he
handed it back. 'lt's whisky, and l don't
drink" he said, as they urged him to take it.

youth as he knelt beside him. Il don't care,

These were the last words he ever spoke, for
afterward he died. His death was calm and

bodies of all the victims, might have noticed

Look at the list of women who die IN

their maternal organs have been so weak

they cannot Withstand the fearful, sudden
strain that is brought to bear upon them.
How many women escape monthly agoniesl
And yet nature never intended that pain or

back Of all these things. The truth that
