MUSICAL.

There seems to be little going on
in musical circles of late, but there
is much talk, among musical people,
of the marvellous cure Of Miss b,
the high contralto singer, who has
long suffered from severe throat
or bronchial affection, superinduced
by Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by the
use Of DR.. sage's Catarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For
all bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tions, and lingering coughs, it is an
unequaled remedy. When compli-
Gated with Chronic Nasal Catarrh,
it's use should be coupled with the
use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.

woMAN's INTUITION.
Nearly Always Right in Her Judgment

Nearly Always Right In Her Judgment In
Regard to Common Things.
An old gentleman over seventy, came into
the city from his farm, without his overcoat.
The day turned chilly and he was obliged to
forego his visit to the fair.
To a friend who demonstrated with him
for going away from home thus unprepared,
he said: II thought it was going to be warm;
my wife told me to take my overcoat, but
wouldn't W9len have more sense than
men anyway"
A frank admission.
Women's good sense is said to come from
intuition; may it not be that they are more
close observers Of little things. One thing
is certain, they are apt to strike the nail on
the head, in all the ordinary problems of
life, more frequently than the lords of crea-
ton.

A STRUGGLE FOR LIFE.
AN EXCITING EPISODE IN THE SURF
AT CAPE MAY.
President Harrison and Secretary Blaine
Involuntary Witnesses of the Scene.
Mrs. Harrison's Niece Endangered.

PHILADELPHIA, August 4.-The Ledger's
Cape May special says: President Har-
rison and Secretary Blaine, while stroll
ing OH the beach this morning, were in
voluntary witnesses OF q struggle for
life in the surf by several bathers. A
short distance from shore raft was an
chored. The tide was beginning to run
out when an unusually large wave came
rushing in. The wave struck the raft
and swept over it, sweeping some bath
ers on it into the water. Among those
who were swept off were Mrs. Dimmick,
a niece of Mrs. Harrison, but, fortu-
nately, before she realized her
danger, she was caught by John
Buckman and dragged into shoal water.
Miss Florence Hazard, who is good
swimmer, had boldly dived into the
breakers, but she miscalculated the
power of the outgoing breakers, and was
being drawn out to sea when she was
rescued and brought to shore by her
father. The big wave also threw Miss
McIlhenny, of Washington, into the
water, and the tide began to carry her
her out to sea. Carl Strauss went to
her assistance, but soon became
exhausted. A. w. Buck, seeing the
peril of the two, swan to them, but
finding himself unequal to the task of
bringing them both in, told Strauss to save
himself, and he would help Miss Nc
Ilhenny in. In the meantime the life
guard had launched his boat to 60 to the
rescue OF the struggling trio. But before
he got through the surf the boat was up
set, and he himself dashed against the
raft and rendered helpless. After a
desperate struggle, during which
Mr.. Strauss had reached the
shore, Mr.. Buck finally brought
Miss McIIhenny to shore. After Miss
McIlhenny was in safety Buck, ex-
hausted by his gallant effort to save
her, fell in fainting condition on the
sands. AS Buck lay on the sand the
president kept the crowd back. After a
short time Buck recovered sufficiently to
go to his hotel.
CAPE MAY, N. j., August 4.-The re-
ception rendered President Harrison

GOING TOO FAR.
SAN SALVADOR IN A PRECARIOUS
SITUATION.
Her Little Army Likely to Be Over
whelmed in the Enemy's Country-In-
reference by the U. S. Hoped for.

PANAMA, August At is believed
here that San Salvador is now in most
precarious situation. Her whole avail
able strenth, 10000 troops, has been
thrown into Guatemala. The prospects
of the success of this little army are
growing smaller with each engagement,
yet they are pushing forward into the
heart of the enemy's country. 1t is
believed, however, that when Guate-
mala and Honduras have mobilized
their forces they will overwhelm
this little army, which seems to have
already wandered beyond the lines of
possible retreat. Then, it is thought, it
will be time for Nicaragua and Costa
Rica to take the field. Even then, how
ever, unless Mexico comes to the aid of
the smaller states, the probabilities are
that Guatemala will be enabled to i'm
pose her rule upon the entire country
and substitute centralized military
government for the proposed federal
union. Meanwhile, Guatemala has to
settle serious account with
the United States on account of the
seizure by Guatemala of war supplies
on board the Pacific Mail steamer
Colima, legally shipped att San Francisco
for San Salvador. No intimation had
been given of state of siege having
been declared before the Colima sailed
1t is understood here that Blaine has
taken prompt action in the matter.
Aside from this episode strong hopes are
entertained among large circle that
the United States will put forth it's best
endeavors to smooth over the quarrel
and stop the war ere it goes too far.
New YORK, August-4.-A Herald dis
patch from San Salvador via La Libertad

SAN Francisco, August 4.-The su
preme court today reaffirmed the uncon-
stitutionality of the Los Angeles charter,
passed at the last session of the legisla-
ture, in SO far as it attempts to establish
police court of the city of Los Angeles.
The title of the cause is The People VS..
Frank Toal. The defendant was con-
victed in the court below of assault
to commit murder, and on his
appeal to the appellate court on February
9th last, reversed that judgment. A re-
hearing was desired for the reason, as
the petitioner stated, that the effect of
the decision was to GUST the police judges
of the city from Office without hearing
The main ground for the reversal, stated
in the opinion, is that police
and inferior courts, power to es-
tablish which is given by the constitu-
ton to the legislature, must be
established by bill regularly passed by
the legislature. 1t is not sufficient to
create such courts by charter, and
have the legislature approve the charter
by concurrent resolution. as was done
in the attempt to establish a police
court in this case.
SAN Francisco, August Am the
case, ex-parte, OF Kiel and others, com
mitted on the charge of kidnapping and
assault with deadly weapon, the SUI
preme court today refused to release the
prisoners. On February 26th the men
took two sailors, Bush and Kemp, from
a steamer at San Pedro by violence, and
conveyed them in an open boat to Cata-
lima island, where they were detained
several days until released by the sheriff.

PATRIARCHS MILITANT,
The Odd Fellows in full Possession of
Chicago.


CHICAGO, August 4.-The Odd Fellows
and Patriarchs Militant hold possession
of Chicago. Every section of the United
States is represented. Lieutenant Gen
eral Underwood, grand sire of the order
and commander of the military branch
of the Patriarchs Militant, sent out over
hall million letters and circulars rela-
tive to the cantonment, and in many
other ways called attention to the great
event. The contests in the civil
branches OF the order began
early today and will continue
throughout the week. Most of these
will be held in Battery d armory, and
will be open only to the initiated. The
merit contests in the work of the
Rebekah degree were CALAMITY given
precedence and began this morning.
The proceedings were opened by Queen
of the Lakes, Rebekah degree lodge 212,
of Chicago. The prizes for which
the Rebekah lodges to the number of
eleven are competing aggregate 81 500.
The lodges coming from outside Chicago
are from Viroqua, Wisconsin Columbus,
Ohio; Richmond, Indiana; Minneapolis,
Bloomington and Omaha.
At 3 p. IN. the only public ceremony
took place. This was the hoisting of the
American, the Canadian and the mill
tant flags. This was the official signal
that the cantonment had begun. 1t
was the intention to raise all
three flags at the same instant,
and the signal for that purpose was given
by General Underwood, but General
Gable was determined that the stars and
stripes should go up first, as he had held
the rope.
Tonight a magnificent reception and
ball was given at Battery d armory un-
der the auspices of the Rebekah degree.
