Among the nameless heroes, none are
more worthy of martyrdom than he who
rode down the valley of the Conemaugh,
warning the people ahead of the Johns
town flood. Mounted on q powerful
horse, faster and faster went the rider,
but the flood was swiftly gaining, until
it caught the unlucky horseman and
swept on, grinding, crushing, annihila-
ting both weak and strong.
In the same way is disease lurking
near, like unto the sword of Damocles,
ready to fall, without warning, on its
victim, who allows his system to be-
come clOgged up, and his blood poi
soned, and thereby his health endan-
gered. To eradicate these poisons from
the system, no matter what their name
or nature, and save yourself a spell of
malarial, typhoid or bilious fever, or
%eruptions, swellings, tumors aud kin
dred disfigurements, keep the liver and
kidneys healthy and vigorous. by the

as the guests had reached the supper

themselves at the door aud insisted up

marked that the simplest thing was to

CHAPTER XII.


The days and weeks wore slowly on; July
came and passed, and " was mid-August.
par.s was at its hottest. 1t might have been
a city In the tropics. Thick white nists rose
from the bouleyards and clouded the even
ing air. The stones In the courtynrds of
hotels and great houses were baked In the
sunshine. The very sound Of water splash
ing upon the hot streets was rapture. This
atmosphere was heavy with heat; and it
seemed as II the low thundercharged sky
were q cast-iron dome which rooted In the
city and suburbs.
That city. once called beautiful. still wore
the aspect of devastation. The ruined houses
stfIl gave forth an odor of smoke and burn
Ing. The fierce meridian sun drew out the
stencil Of charred wood. On every side were
the signs and tokens Of destruction. On
every side one heard of loss, and sorrow,
and death.

THE r
Battenberg's Old Sweetheart About 10 he
arrf

B~attenberg's Old Sweetheart About to h.
Married.
The authoritative announcementofthe
engagement of the Princess Victoria. OF
Prussia, to Prince Adolphus, OF Schaum-
berg -Lippe, is received with a general
sigh Of relief wherever that young lady
is well known, and the feeling OF relief
will be deeper still when she is married
to him, says q cable to the Philadelphia
Times. For some years the royal fami-
lies OF Prussia and of England have been
most anxious to marry her to somebody.
Her exceedingly ardent and impassion-
ate nature made it most desirable that
she should be quickly provided with a
husband upon whom she could lavish
her exuberant affections, and the family
were constantly in a state OF dread lest
in an u~nguarded moment she should
give free rein TO her impulses and rush
into some ~scandalous mesalliance.
Her love affair with Prince Alexander
OF ~Battenburg and Bulgaria was entirely
OF her W seeking, and many of her
relatives were in favor OF her marrying
him simply on the score of propriety,
and to avoid any further worry about
her. When Prince Alexander forsook
her and married Mile. Leisinger, she
was beside herself with disappointment
and rage, so that for a time the question
OF putting her under forcible restraint
was considered. Her relatives redoubled
their guardianship Of her. and also their
efforts to find her q husband, in which
latter they have now succeeded.
Prince Adoiphus is, IL is true, only
the youngest son of a very petty and
insignificant German p%rincelet. The
realm Of Schaum berg-Lippe only com
prises about 1873 square miles and less
than 10000 inhabitants. And Prince
Adolphus has no prospect of coming
even TO this petty throne, since he has
three brothers older than himself and
the eldest OF them has several children.
But the prince is a rather fine and spir-
tied young soldier, of good address, who
will, as one OF the members OF the court
bluDtly expressed IL, "be able 10 stand
all the love-making Victoria wants TO
give him"
1t is likely that the couple will 90 70
England 70 live. Not long ago, in de-
spair OF finding a husband for her, IL was
arranged that the princess should 60 10
London and occupy a suite OF rooms in
kensington palace, where she would be
under the watchful eye Of her grand
mother, the queen. The Empress Fred
erick and Emperor William, the mother
and brother of the young lady. agreed TO
provide her with a sufficient income TO
keep up her household in proper style.
To this she agreed. and was about TO go
TO London when Prince Adolphus was
hit upon as a bridegroom. The apart
ments are still engaged for her, how
ever, and she and her husband will prob
ably fly thither after their honeymoon.
The date of the wedding is not yet fixed,
but it certainly will be very soon.

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-The affairs Of the
United States Rolling Stock company
have been placed in the hands OF a re.
eeiver. Liabilities. $3,sl6,000; assets,
Sc, 053, 900. Attorney High of the com.
pany says the failure was precipitated by
slow illectiops and depression in the
money market. The company is the largest
builder of railway cars in the world, and
has plants at Hegewish, Ill, Decatur,
Ala, Admission. Ala, and Urbana, Ohio.
The capitol stock was "a, 600, 900. The
assets consist OF the plant at Hegewish,
worth 81, 900, 900. The plants at the
other places mentioned are worth 81 900,

worth 81, 533, 900; rolling stock leased to
various railroads, worth $l00, 900, supplies
and material in process OF manufacture,
800. 600, and accounts amounting to
$500. 900. 1t is understood that the
failure is due TO the inability to collect
5000, 900 due from various roads for rent
of cars. The property was put into the
hands of a friendly receiver 50 that this
run may be realized. The company en-
ployed ZOO men, its cash payments to
employees and material being $600,0 900
monthly. Stringency in the money mar

New YORK, Nov. 22.-Mrs. Charles
Coombs, of Brooklyn, daughter-in law of
the newly elected congressman Of the
Third district, committed suicide in a hor-
rible name this afternoon. She went
to the Pierrepont hotel and asked for a
room on the top floor, saying she was
troubled with palpitation of the heart
and wanted to be away from all excite
ment. The manager conducted her to a
room on the sixth floor. Soon after she
sent for a bottle Of wine and water and
rang for the chambermaid. When the
latter entered the room the lady was
standing with a wine glass in her hand.
without a word she dashed the glass to
the floor and rushing to the window
jumped out. She turned over and over,
struck with terrific force on the root OF an
extension, bounded off, landed on a large
flower urn standing in front of the hotel
and thence rolled to the sidewalk. She
was dead when picked up. Her mother
is In a critical condition from the shock.
The suicide had been msrned seven
years. Lately she suffered from i'll

And Threaten to Remain Away
Unless They Get Them.
The Lady Managers Snubbed
by the Commission.

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-The national com
mission OF the worlds fair today adopted
a number of committee reports including
that of judiciary committee, opposing the
reduction of salaries. The report of the
executive committee on the establishments
of bureaus, and the tariff and t%ransporta-
ton committee in regard to appointment
were referred to a special committee,
which yesterday reported on the powers
of the commission. Another important
whether or not money awards should be
granted to exhibitors. Live stock men
were demanding substantial awards in
cash, and threatening not to make an ex-
hibit unless their demands we're complied
with. Commissioner Russell, OF Nevada.
introduced a resolution that the local
directory be asked to appropriate 5000, 900
for live stock premiums. This was car
ried and Immediately thereafter, and the
report of the JOINT committee on awards
was introduced providing that there shall
be awards TO consist OF parchment certiti

board of judges or examiners. In the
opinion OF the joint committee, it Is emf
nently fitting that the government should
furnish these certificates and medals, es-
pecially in the case of foreign exhibits,
but there does not appear to be any pro-
vision made therefore in the existing sp-
preparation of congress. This report was
laid over. Then a more complicated mat
ter came up on the question, What are
the lady managers here ior?' After
some talk the commissioners LAID the
matter on the table aud the ladies left to
settle it to suit themselves. The Journal
says this evening that the local board of
