DR.. John W. Brown, Of Oceana, W.
Va, writes I" have prescribed Ayers
Pills in my practice, and find them ex-
cellent. I urge their general use in
families
/" For number Of years was afflicted
with biliousness which almost destroyed
my health. I tried various remedies,
but nothing afforded me any relief until
I began to take Ayers Pills."-G. S.
Wanderlich, Scranton, Pa.
II have used Ayers Pills for the past
thirty years, and am satisfied should
not be alive to-day If it had not been
for them. They cured me Of dyspepsia
when all other remedies failed, and their
occasional use has kept me in healthy
condition ever since."-T. r. Brown,
Chester, Pa.
"Having been subject, for years, to
constipation, without being able to find
much relief, l at last tried Ayers Pills,
and deem it both duty and pleasure
to Sestify that have derived great ben
eft from their use. For over two years
past I have taken one of these Pills
every night before retiring. Iwould not
willingly be without them."-G. W.
Bowman, 26 East Main st., Carlisle, Pa.
ayers Pills have been used in my
family upwards Of twenty years, and
have completely verified all that ia
claimed for them. In attacks of piles,
from which suffered many years, they
afforded me greater relief than any med-
icine I ever tried. Thomas +. Adams,
Holly Springs, Texas.

Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 81. THE CALLS
choice for Califor Mas Governor may yet
blossom into Presidential candidate. The
Evening Star says edtorially: "As Mr.
Markham of California was about the only
Republican who showed up well on the
Attn of November, and as California was the
only State which glorfied Republican prin-
ciples and came out Of the wilderness of
Democracy, why isn't somebody booming
NJ T. Markham for second place on the ticket
of 1892"
This suggestion is only one of many similar
paragraphs that have appeared lately in
Eastern papers. In political circles and in
the newspaper offices ION the row." Cali
fornia's loyalty to the Republican party is
frequently matter Of comment, and there
can be no doubt that Republicans generally
! ente rtain warm regard for California at
/ the present time. If this sentiment does
not suffer through the lapse of two years,
the Golden State may yet have the honor of
naming the next Republican candidate for
Vice-President.
Greed Haymond's presence in this city has

Greed Haymond's warm support of Blaine
in the Chicago nominating convention is
well remembered He spent some time

not be definitely ascertained.

STANLEY SUBSTANTIATED.
An Old Letter From ASSad Farran REGARD
Ing the Rear Guard.

BosToN, Nov. 21.-For two years the
Rev. Z. +. Merriam has had on his desk in
the fremont Temple letter confirming the
horrible story of cannibalism which
has formed leading feature in the
discussions over the Stanley rear guard.
1t was written July IA, 1888, at Lucknnga,
by Assad Farran, Syrian Christian, edu-
Gated at Jerusalem, who acted as interpre-
ter in Stanley's camp. The letter was ad--
dressed to Mr.. Camp, engineer of the
steamer Henry Reed, on the Upper Congo,
which belonged to the American Baptist
Foreign Missionary Society.
In the letter Assad says that Barttelot
conld have preserved his men II he had
wished. for he had great quantity of goois
for trading, which he finally threw away.
He beat his men and even shot them.

he might see them eat her. They
tied her to tree, stabbed her twice in
the abdomen, when eight men rushed up
with knives and cut her up and put her in
their cooking-pOt. Jameson was pleased
with the sight and made pictures of the
scene.
This letter was read to-day to Stanley at
the Hotel Brunswick by reporter, and the

NAVAL ORDNANCE.
Progress Msde in tn, Manufacture Of Heavy
Guns in This Country.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The annual re-
port of Commodore Folger, Chief of the
Bureau of Ordnance, which is very lengthy,
estimates the appropriations necessary for
next years work at something over SI,-
zoo. coo. He says the tools for the manu-
facture of thirteen-inch guns Of thirty-f Eve
caliber are being constructed. 1t is thought
this will be the largest gun ever likely to be
needed for naval purposes. The bureau
contemplates issuing six-inch guns OF thirty
five calber to the fast cruisers, and proposes
to make no more contracts for six-inch guns
of thirty-caliber length.
In connection with high explosives the bu-
reau has designed what may be called a
rifed mortar, to project 100 pounds of high
explosive. This will be mounted on special
vessels, as for instance ram to fight at close
quarters. Contracts have been made with
the Ericsson COast-defense Company for one
submarine gun and six steel projectiles to
be placed on the Destroyer. The bureau
believes it is best 10 await the re-
suit of further tests in Europe
before taking up any smOkeleSS powder.
The domestic process of manufacturing
armor- piercing projectiles is not satisfactory
and arrangements have been made TO ac-
auire the process of Firth Il Sons. Con-
tracts have been made for furnishing cleo
tric motors to be applied to S-inch guns on
certain cruisers for handling them. The
increased rapidity in turning out forgings
from the Bethlehem Iron Company and
Midvale Steel Company, and the develop
ment of The Washington gun factory is such
as to warrant the belief that batteries can
hereafter be furnished ships as fast as they
are completed.

FIGHTING FOR LIFE.


lIylng 10 cave New YORK murderer From
Bling E.ectrocuted.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-The case of the
Japanese murderer. Jugiro. who is SEN
fenced TO death by electricity in New York,
was argued before the United States Su-
preme Court to-day. Sherman. who was
counsel for Kemmler, represented Jugiro,
basing his application for writ OF habeas
corpus on the ground that The execution Of
kemmler demonstrated that electrocution is
not an instantaneous and painless death,
and violates the provision of the Federal
Constitution forbiddng cruel and unusual
punishment.
Sherman spoke at length, reading news
paper report about the death of Kemmler.
He asserted that there is grave doubt
whether artificial electricity as generated
under the present scientific conditions in
yariably causes immediate death. Sherman
was frequently interrupted with questions
by Justices Field ana Brewer. When the
former suggested that persons had been
killed in short time by accidental contact
with electric-light wires, Sherman narrated
the case Of lineman who did not die for
some time, although receiving shock of
1000 volts.
Acknowledgement Tabor of New York
State replied. He declared the Kemmler
case and the practical execution of the law
settled the whole question Of its constitu-
tionality. AS he understood it, either hang
ing or electricity had too much cruelty in 1t
to suit counsel.

chased and the shops put in much more eff
eient condition than they are at present.
