Skins on Fire
With Itching, Burning, Bleeding
Eczemas instantly Relieved
by Cuticura Remedies.

Our little son will be four years of age the 25th
Inst. In May, 1885, he was attacked with very
painful breaNlng out of the skin. We called In
physician, who treated him for about four weeks.
The child received little good from the treat
ment, as the breaking out, supposed by the physi-
clan to be hives in an aggravated form, became
larger in DlotcheS, and more and more distressing.
We were frequently obliged TO get up in the night
and rub him with soda and water, strong linimen.S
etc. Finally, we called other physicians, until
less than six had attempted to cure him, all alike
failing, and the child steadily getting worse and
worse, until about the goth OF last July, when
began to give him CUTIcU RA RESoLv ENT internally
and the CUTICURA and CUTICURA SOAP externally.
and by the last of August he nearly well that
we gave him only one dose of the RESOLYENT
about every second day for about ten days longer,
and he has never been troubled since with the hOr-
rid malady. In all we used less than half of
bottle of CUTICURA RESOLvEST. a little less than
one box of CUTIcURA, and only one cake of CUTI-
CURA SOAR. II. h. RYAN,

THE WORLDS FAIR.
Another CaliflFnian Selected for Chief Of
The Horticultural Department.

CHICAGO, June 16.-A new Chief of
the Horticultural Department was con-
firmed to-day by the National
Board Of Control, Commissioner William
Forsyth of California being the man. The
Local Directory must yet pass upon him.,
but his success is said to be assured.
1t was definitely decided to-day that the
Fine-Art Building will be put in jack
son Park, instead of Lake Front. This
places the whole exposition at last on a
single site.
Thomas II. Thompson, Secretary of the
California Commission. was. greatly sur
prised when told Chipman had been re-
jected.

full of telegrams from California rejoicing
over Chipman's appointment, and saying
all the Endorsements of the Board of Control
might want would be furnished. suppose,
however, that it is too late now"
What will be the effect of this news in
California;"

GERMANY's EXPOSITION.
BERLIN, June 16.-With reference t. the
proposed German Worlds Fair to be held
IN 1885, Mr.. Won SiemenS, the great cleo
trician, who is leading member OF the
Committee Of Proircto talking with an
ASSOCldlcu ITtSs IepIeS6DldJib6 lO-0tl1s =
said they will make solid showing of what
they can do in the way of manufacturing,
without any Eiffel Tower or similar az
traction. In addition he said: European
nations are becoming aware that they must
consolidate commercially against American
aggression" America" said lie, ''iS not
only shutting out many of our products by
prohlbitiye tariffs, but she also threatens
our trade with the South American repub-
lies and even with Africa ana Asia. Power
naturally makes America aggressive, aud
Europe must take care Of her interests or 1t
will be pushed 20 the wall If America
keeps on as now we shall have TO go to COM
mercial war. We will retalate."
But" said the correspondent, 'dn you
think Europe, and Germany especially, will
be the gaiuer by such a policy? Do you
know that millions Of dollars worth of your
manufactures are exported to America
every year-that we could strike serious
blow by simply prohibiting your sugar?"
"YeS," said Herr Siemens. but we shall
find other channels of traffic. Besides. as
America advances, she will need less and
less of our manufactures"
Wnen asked if Germany wOuld exhibit at
the Worlds Fair at Chicago, Herr Siemens
said lie did not know yet. At present it
seemed folly to exhibit in a country where
the people did not buy from them.

Toronto, Canada, the only man that ever

most dangerous parts of Niagara Rapids.
Dixon, on September 9th of last year,
crossed the falls above the suspension
bridge on swaying cable of woven wire
only five-eighths of an inch thick. His per-
formance was most remarkable, but what he
intends to do some time next month will be
more difficult than anything he has yet at
tempted.
1t is his intention to make about four trips
both ways from the American to the Cana
dian side, and vice versa. The wire will ex-
tend from the Canadian to the American
side, between the suspension bridge and
Whirlpool Rapids, above the spot where
Captain Webb lost his life while trying to
swim the whirlpool. Dixon intends to make
his last walk on that day memorable one.
He intends TO cross the wire about 8 O'Clock
in the evening. He will be followed by
powerful calcium search light as he makes
his journey. When he is midway across the
calcium light will be turned of and fire.

DISAPPOINTED INvALIDs.
Pitiful Scenes Among the Afflicted People at
Mount Troy.

Mount Troy.
PITTsBURG, June 16.-The trains which a
week ago brought invalds to the shrine of
St Anthony, on Troy Hill. full of hopes,
are now bearing the sufferers away from
PittsbGrg in despair. Though Father Mol
linger undeniably effects cures which seem
miraculous. aturally in the great mass of
cases his double Office of priest and pbySi-
clan brings no relief to the patient.
The spectacle at the Union Station yeSter-
day WAS pitiful. Scores Of half-blind. deaf
and paralytic persons were returning to
their homes. Scarcely any had in the slight
est degree been benefited, while more than
a few were prostrated as the result of eX-
posure and hope deferred. To one train
three women were carried on stretcherS, too
ill to sit. About $50 went east on the Penn
sylvania road. They had received the rev.
erend fathers blessing, but only few had
been near enough to him to have him pre-
scribe. Lack of funds compelled them to
go home. In some cases that had come to
Father Molliuger's knowledge he furnished
means for passage home out OF his own
purse.
The terrible heat added much to the suf-
fering of the invalids who bTaved the suns
rays in their effort to reach the presence of
the priest. Many Of the sufferers, weakened
come and tainted. They were received by
attentive friends. and in some instances re-
moved to their homes.
About 500 invalidS applied to Father Mol
lnger for his blessing in the morning. and
all were accommodated. In no instance,
however, was a prescription for medicine
given out.
